The present invention relates to an uninterruptible power supply device and a control module for an uninterruptible power supply device, and more particularly, to an uninterruptible power supply device and a control module for an uninterruptible power supply device which include a thyristor provided in a bypass current path for outputting AC power to a load external to the device without passing through a power conversion unit.
In the related art, an uninterruptible power supply device including a thyristor provided in a bypass current path for outputting AC power to a load external to the device without passing through a power conversion unit is known. Such an uninterruptible power supply device is disclosed in JP-A-2020-78214, for example.
JP-A-2020-78214 discloses the uninterruptible power supply device including a power conversion unit that converts power from an AC power supply, and a bypass circuit for feeding power from a bypass input power supply external to the device when the uninterruptible power supply device is stopped, such as during maintenance. The bypass circuit includes a thyristor unit including a plurality of thyristors provided corresponding to the phases of AC power fed from the bypass input power supply external to the device. Moreover, in a housing of the uninterruptible power supply device, a control device that controls power conversion of the power conversion unit is accommodated together with the power conversion unit and the thyristor unit.
Here, although not specified in JP-A-2020-78214, there is a case in which a module that accommodates the power conversion unit and a module that accommodates the thyristor unit and the control device are provided separately. In such a case, the uninterruptible power supply device is configured such that the module that accommodates the power conversion unit and the module that accommodates the thyristor unit and the control device are disposed adjacent to each other in a left-right direction.
In the uninterruptible power supply device as described above, the module that accommodates the power conversion unit and the module that accommodates the thyristor unit and the control device are disposed adjacent to each other in the left-right direction. Therefore, there is a problem that a width in the left-right direction of the entire uninterruptible power supply device is increased in a case in which a width in the left-right direction of the module configuring the uninterruptible power supply device, such as the module that accommodates the power conversion unit or the module that accommodates the thyristor unit and the control device is increased. Therefore, it is desired to suppress the increase in the width in the left-right direction of the module forming the uninterruptible power supply device, and to suppress the increase in the width in the left-right direction of the entire uninterruptible power supply device.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the present invention is to provide an uninterruptible power supply device and a control module for an uninterruptible power supply device which can suppress an increase in a width in a left-right direction of a module forming an uninterruptible power supply device and can suppress an increase in a width in the left-right direction of the entire uninterruptible power supply device.
In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention relates to an uninterruptible power supply device including a power conversion module that includes a power conversion unit that converts power fed from an AC power supply or a battery external to the device and feeds the converted power to a load external to the device, and a control module that is disposed adjacent to the power conversion module in a left-right direction and controls power conversion of the power conversion module, in which the control module includes a thyristor unit that includes a thyristor provided in a bypass current path for outputting AC power to the load external to the device without passing through the power conversion unit, a control unit that controls the power conversion of the power conversion module, and a housing that accommodates the thyristor unit and the control unit, and the thyristor unit and the control unit are arranged in a front-rear direction intersecting the left-right direction in the housing of the control module.
In the uninterruptible power supply device according to the first aspect, as described above, the thyristor unit and the control unit are arranged in the front-rear direction intersecting the left-right direction in the housing of the control module. As a result, the width in the left-right direction of the control module can be made smaller than the width in a case in which the thyristor unit and the control unit are arranged in the left-right direction in the housing of the control module. As a result, it is possible to suppress the increase in the width in the left-right direction of the module (control module) forming the uninterruptible power supply device, and to suppress the increase in the width in the left-right direction of the entire uninterruptible power supply device.
In the uninterruptible power supply device according to the first aspect, it is preferable that the thyristor unit and the control unit are disposed in the housing of the control module to overlap each other as viewed from the front-rear direction. With such a configuration, the width in the left-right direction of the control module can be made smaller than the width in a case in which the thyristor unit and the control unit do not overlap each other as viewed from the front-rear direction in the housing of the control module. As a result, it is possible to easily suppress the increase in the width in the left-right direction of the entire uninterruptible power supply device.

With such a configuration, during installation and maintenance of the device, the thyristor unit can be easily accessed from one side in the front-rear direction, and the control unit can be easily accessed from the other side in the front-rear direction. As a result, unlike a case in which both the thyristor unit and the control unit, which are arranged in the front-rear direction, are disposed in the housing of the control module to one side or the other side in the front-rear direction from the center of the housing, both the thyristor unit and the control unit can be easily accessed during installation and maintenance of the device.

In addition, the thyristor unit and the control unit are provided in common to the first power conversion module and the second power conversion module, so that it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of components and complication of the device configuration than in a case in which the thyristor unit and the control unit are provided separately for each of the first power conversion module and the second power conversion module.
In this case, it is preferable that the width in the left-right direction of the control module is smaller than a width in the left-right direction of each of the first power conversion module and the second power conversion module. With such a configuration, the width in the left-right direction of the control module can be made smaller than a case in which the width in the left-right direction of the control module is made larger than the width of each of the first power conversion module and the second power conversion module, so that it is possible to further suppress the increase in the width in the left-right direction of the entire uninterruptible power supply device.

With such a configuration, a cable or the like connected to the battery external to the device can be connected to the battery connection unit provided on the upper portion of the housing. As a result, unlike a case in which the battery connection unit is provided on a direction side of the control module to which the power conversion module is adjacent, even in a case in which the battery external to the device is disposed on a direction side on which the power conversion module is adjacent to the control module, it is possible to electrically connect the DC wiring of the control module and the battery external to the device from above the housing without passing through the power conversion module. As a result, unlike a case in which the battery connection unit is provided on a direction side of the control module to which the power conversion module is adjacent, it is possible to easily electrically connect the DC wiring of the control module and the battery external to the device.
It is preferable that the uninterruptible power supply device according to the first aspect further includes an output module that is disposed on the other side in the left-right direction with respect to the power conversion module and outputs the power converted by the power conversion unit of the power conversion module to the load external to the device, in which a width in the left-right direction of the control module is smaller than a width in the left-right direction of the output module.

In addition, in the present embodiment, as described above, the input module 40 that is disposed on one side (X1 direction side) in the left-right direction with respect to the control module 30 and inputs AC power fed from the AC power supply 201 external to the device to the control module 30 is provided. Moreover, the width W1 in the left-right direction (X direction) of the control module 30 is smaller than the width W6 in the left-right direction of the input module 40. As a result, the width W1 in the left-right direction (X direction) of the control module 30 can be made smaller than a case in which the width W1 in the left-right direction of the control module 30 is made larger than the width W6 in the left-right direction of the input module 40, so that it is possible to further suppress the increase in the width in the left-right direction of the entire uninterruptible power supply device 100.
In addition, in the present embodiment, as described above, the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22 are disposed on the other side (X2 direction side) in the left-right direction with respect to the control module 30. Moreover, the thyristor unit 31 and the control unit 32 are provided in common to the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22. As a result, the power conversion modules 11 and 12 are disposed on one side (Y1 direction side) in the front-rear direction on which the thyristor unit 31 is disposed, and the power conversion modules 21 and 22 are disposed on the other side (Y2 direction side) in the front-rear direction on which the control unit 32 is disposed, so that it is possible to further suppress the increase in the width in the left-right direction of the entire uninterruptible power supply device 100 than in a case in which the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22 are disposed in a row in the left-right direction (X direction). In addition, the thyristor unit 31 and the control unit 32 are provided in common to the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22, so that it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of components and complication of the device configuration than in a case in which the thyristor unit 31 and the control unit 32 are provided separately for each of the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22.
In addition, in the present embodiment, as described above, the width W1 in the left-right direction (X direction) of the control module 30 is smaller than each of the widths W2, W3, W4, and W5 in the left-right direction of the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22. As a result, the width W1 in the left-right direction of the control module 30 can be made smaller than a case in which the width W1 in the left-right direction (X direction) of the control module 30 is made larger than each of the widths W2, W3, W4, and W5 in the left-right direction of the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22, so that it is possible to further suppress the increase in the width in the left-right direction of the entire uninterruptible power supply device 100.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the control module 30 is provided with the bypass wiring 8 that is connected to the thyristor 31a of the thyristor unit 31 and forms the bypass current path B. Moreover, the bypass wiring 8 includes the connection unit 81 that is disposed between the thyristor unit 31 and the control unit 32 in the front-rear direction (Y direction), and is connected to the wiring of the input module 40. As a result, it is possible to make the width W1 in the left-right direction of the control module 30 smaller than in a case in which the connection unit 81 is disposed adjacent to the thyristor unit 31 or the control unit 32 in the left-right direction (X direction) in the housing 30a of the control module 30.
In addition, in the present embodiment, as described above, the control module 30 is provided with the AC input wiring 7 that is electrically connected to the power conversion unit 1 of each of the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22 and the AC power supply 201 external to the device. Moreover, the AC input wiring 7 includes the connection unit 71 that is disposed between the thyristor unit 31 and the control unit 32 in the front-rear direction (Y direction), and is connected to the wiring of the input module 40. As a result, it is possible to make the width W1 in the left-right direction of the control module 30 smaller than a case in which the connection unit 71 is disposed adjacent to the thyristor unit 31 or the control unit 32 in the left-right direction (X direction) in the housing 30a of the control module 30.
In addition, in the present embodiment, as described above, the control module 30 is provided with the DC wiring 6 that is electrically connected to the power conversion unit 1 of each of the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22 and the battery 202 external to the device. Moreover, the control module 30 includes the bus duct 61 that is provided in the upper portion of the housing 30a and electrically connects the battery 202 external to the device and the DC wiring 6. As a result, the cable or the like connected to the battery 202 external to the device can be connected to the bus duct 61 provided on the upper portion of the housing 30a. As a result, unlike a case in which the bus duct 61 is provided on the direction side (X2 direction side) of the control module 30 to which the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22 are adjacent, even in a case in which the battery 202 external to the device is disposed on the direction side on which the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22 are adjacent to the control module 30, it is possible to electrically connect the DC wiring 6 of the control module 30 and the battery 202 external to the device from above the housing 30a without passing through the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22. As a result, unlike a case in which the bus duct 61 is provided on the direction side (X2 direction side) of the control module 30 to which the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22 are adjacent, it is possible to easily perform electrical connection between the DC wiring 6 of the control module 30 and the battery 202 external to the device.
In addition, in the present embodiment, as described above, the output module 50 that is disposed on the other side (X2 direction side) in the left-right direction with respect to the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22, and outputs the power converted by the power conversion unit 1 of each of the power conversion modules 11, 12, 21, and 22 to the load 203 external to the device is provided. Moreover, the width W1 in the left-right direction (X direction) of the control module 30 is smaller than the width W7 in the left-right direction of the output module 50. As a result, the width W1 in the left-right direction (X direction) of the control module 30 can be made smaller than a case in which the width W1 in the left-right direction of the control module 30 is made larger than the width W7 of the output module 50, so that it is possible to further suppress the increase in the width in the left-right direction of the entire uninterruptible power supply device 100.
