Submodule

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a sub-module, and more particularly, to a sub-module having a structure capable of minimizing an influence of electromagnetic noise generated from a switching element and a printed circuit board, respectively, on each other.

Background

A Flexible power Transmission System or a new power Transmission System (FACTS) is an operation technique for improving the flexibility of a power System by introducing a power electronic control technique into an alternating-current power System.

Specifically, the flexible power transmission system can control the transmission power by using the semiconductor switching element for power. The flexible power transmission system can improve the equipment utilization rate of the power transmission line to the maximum extent, can increase the power transmission capacity and can minimize the voltage variation.

In the flexible power transmission system, the storage and input/output of electric power are realized by capacitor elements. The capacitor element may be controlled by a switching element. Specifically, the switching element may control input, output, and the like of the current of the capacitor element.

The switching element may be controlled by a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The switching element is electrically connectable to the printed circuit board, and the switching element is operable in response to a control signal calculated on the printed circuit board.

However, the switching element and the printed circuit board generate an electromagnetic noise (noise) component, respectively. Electromagnetic noise components generated by the switching element and the printed circuit board may be transmitted to each other.

In the above case, the operational reliability of the switching element and the printed circuit board may be lowered.

Korean laid-open patent publication No. 10-2015-0073875 discloses a power supply noise reduction circuit and a power supply noise reduction method. Specifically, a noise reduction circuit is disclosed for utilizing a circuit assembly coupled to a power rail to bleed a corresponding current if a voltage on the power rail exceeds a specified value or decreases below a specified value.

However, this type of noise reduction circuit is a way of utilizing additional circuitry. That is, an additional algorithm for executing the logic (logic) needs to be provided, and an additional wiring work for operating the noise reduction circuit is required.

The noise reduction circuit disclosed in the above-mentioned prior art document is also an electromagnetic component. Therefore, electromagnetic noise may also be generated in the noise reduction circuit itself for filtering noise.

Korean laid-open patent publication No. 10-2019-0037737 discloses a printed circuit board having a motor noise reduction function and a coupling structure thereof. Specifically disclosed is a printed circuit board having a structure capable of bypassing electromagnetic wave noise radiated from a motor pin to ground by connecting conductive vias of a ground pattern in a thickness direction of the printed circuit board.

However, the prior document has a limitation that the structure of the printed circuit board itself needs to be changed. That is, the printed circuit board must be separately manufactured according to the motors formed of structures different from each other.

Referring to fig. 1, a modular multilevel converter 1 of an embodiment of the invention is shown. The modular multilevel converter 1 may function as a STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator).

That is, the modular multilevel converter 1 is a kind of static type reactive power compensation device, and performs a function of improving stability by supplementing a loss voltage at the time of power transmission and distribution of electricity or electric power.

The multilevel converter 1 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of Sub modules (Sub modules) 10 and a frame 20.

The sub-modules 10 essentially perform the functions of the modular multilevel converter 1 described above. The sub-module 10 may have a plurality. Depending on the number of sub-modules 10 provided, the capacity of the modular multilevel converter 1 may be increased.

The individual submodules 10 are electrically connectable to one another. In an embodiment, the individual sub-modules 10 may be connected in series.

In the illustrated embodiment, the sub-modules 10 are six in number and are arranged at predetermined distances from each other in the left-right direction. The number of sub-modules 10 provided may vary.

The sub-module 10 is supported by a frame 20. In the illustrated embodiment, the sub-module 10 is supported by a frame 20 forming a single layer.

The frame 20 forms the skeleton of the modular multilevel converter 1. The frame 20 supports the sub-module 10 on the upper or lower side.

The sub-module 10 will be described in detail later.

The frame 20 may be formed of a material having high rigidity. In one embodiment, the frame 20 may be formed of a steel material. In addition, the shape of the frame 20 is an H-Beam type, which can further enhance the axial rigidity of the frame 20.

The frame 20 may have a plurality. A plurality of frames 20 may be stacked on one another. The sub-modules 10 supported by the frame 20 may also be configured in a plurality of layers. Thereby, the capacity of the modular multilevel converter 1 may be increased.

In the illustrated embodiment, the frame 20 includes a vertical frame 21, a horizontal frame 22, and a support 23. In addition, referring again to fig. 19, the frame 20 further includes an insulating member 24, and referring again to fig. 22, the frame 20 further includes a fixing frame 25.

The vertical frame 21 forms a framework of the frame 20 in the vertical direction. The vertical frame 21 is formed to extend in the vertical direction. Coupling plates are provided at upper and lower end portions of the vertical frame 21. The coupling plate has a quadrangular plate shape. The coupling plate is coupled with the ground or coupled with a coupling plate of another frame 20 that is vertically stacked.

In the illustrated embodiment, the vertical frames 21 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the front and the left and right sides of the rear. Thus, the vertical frames 21 have four in total. The number of vertical frames 21 may be changed.

The horizontal frame 22 forms a framework of the frame 20 in the front-rear direction. The horizontal frame 22 is formed to extend in the front-rear direction. The front end of the horizontal frame 22 is coupled to the vertical frame 21 disposed on the front side. The rear end of the horizontal frame 22 is coupled to the vertical frame 21 disposed on the rear side.

This can minimize the deformation of the vertical frame 21 in the front-rear direction and the deformation of the horizontal frame 22 in the vertical direction.

In the illustrated embodiment, the horizontal frames 22 are disposed on the left and right sides, respectively. In addition, the horizontal frames 22 may be disposed apart from each other in the up-down direction on the left and right sides. Thus, the horizontal frames 22 have four in total, but the number thereof may be changed.

A support 23 is coupled to the horizontal frame 22. The horizontal frame 22 supports left and right side end portions of the support portion 23.

The support portion 23 supports the sub-module 10 at the lower side. The support 23 is combined with the horizontal frame 22. Specifically, the left end of the support 23 is coupled to the horizontal frame 22 provided on the left side. The right end of the support 23 is coupled to the right horizontal frame 22.

The support portion 23 includes a plurality of beam members. Each Beam member may have the form of an H-Beam. The plurality of beam members are arranged in series in the front-rear direction at a predetermined distance from each other.

That is, the number of sub-modules 10 provided to the modular multilevel converter 1 may be changed. Thereby, the capacity of the modular multilevel converter 1 may be changed.

Referring to fig. 2-9, the sub-module 10 of the illustrated embodiment includes a capacitor assembly 100 and a valve assembly 200.

(1) Description of the capacitor (capacitor) Assembly 100

The capacitor assembly 100 includes a capacitor element (not shown) therein. The capacitor assembly 100 is electrically connectable with the valve assembly 200. A capacitor element (not shown) inside the capacitor module 100 can be charged or discharged by a switching operation of the valve module 200.

Thereby, the capacitor element (not shown) may store the electrical energy input to the sub-module 10. The electrical energy stored in the capacitor elements (not shown) may be used as a power source for driving the various components of the sub-module 10. In addition, the electrical energy may be supplied as reactive power to an external power system that is galvanically connected to the submodule 10.

In the illustrated embodiment, the capacitor assembly 100 is connected to the rear side of the valve assembly 200. This is because, compared to the capacitor assembly 100, a situation in which maintenance of the valve assembly 200 is required often occurs. That is, as described later, this is to easily separate only the valve assembly 200 toward the front side.

The capacitor assembly 100 is supported by the rail assembly 500. Specifically, the capacitor assembly 100 is disposed at the capacitor cart unit 510a of the rail assembly 500. In one embodiment, the capacitor assembly 100 may be fixedly coupled to the capacitor cart unit 510 a.

As described later, the capacitor cart unit 510a can slide along the rail unit 540 to the front side or the rear side. Thereby, the capacitor module 100 can also slide to the front side or the rear side together with the capacitor cart unit 510 a.

In the illustrated embodiment, the capacitor assembly 100 is formed to have a size larger than that of the valve assembly 200. Depending on the size of the capacitor element (not shown) mounted inside the capacitor assembly 100. That is, the size of the capacitor assembly 100 may vary according to the size of the capacitor element (not shown).

Capacitor assembly 100 includes a capacitor case 110 and a capacitor connector 120.

The capacitor case 110 forms the outer shape of the capacitor assembly 100. A predetermined space is formed inside the capacitor case 110. A capacitor element (not shown) may be mounted in the space. The mounted capacitor element (not shown) is electrically connectable with the valve assembly 200 through the capacitor connector 120.

The capacitor case 110 may be formed of a material having rigidity. This is to prevent the adjacent sub-modules 10 and valve assemblies 200 and the like from being affected in the event of an explosion of the capacitor element (not shown) housed inside for an unpredictable reason.

A residual water collecting unit 960 of a cooling passage section 900 described later is coupled to the upper side of the capacitor case body 110. In addition, the lower side of the capacitor case 110 is combined with the capacitor cart unit 510 a.

The front side of the capacitor case body 110 is electrically connected to the valve assembly 200 via the capacitor connector 120.

The capacitor connector 120 may electrically connect the capacitor assembly 100 and the valve assembly 200. The capacitor connector 120 is electrically connectable with a capacitor element (not shown) and the valve connector 220 of the valve assembly 200.

If the capacitor assembly 100 or the valve assembly 200 is slid toward each other, the capacitor connector 120 is slid to the valve connector 220 and may be insertedly coupled thereto. Thereby, an energization state between the capacitor connector 120 and the valve connector 220 is formed.

By the combination, the energized state between the capacitor assembly 100 and the valve assembly 200 can be easily formed or released.

In the illustrated embodiment, the capacitor connector 120 is formed on a side, i.e., a front side, of the capacitor assembly 100 toward the valve assembly 200. Capacitor connector 120 has a plate shape formed to protrude a predetermined distance from the front side of capacitor case 110.

The shape of the capacitor connector 120 may be any shape that can be electrically coupled with the valve connector 220.

The capacitor connector 120 may have a plurality. In the illustrated embodiment, the capacitor connector 120 includes a first capacitor connector 121 disposed on the left side and a second capacitor connector 122 disposed on the right side.

The first capacitor connector 121 is slid to and electrically coupled with the valve connector 220 provided on the left side. In addition, the second capacitor connector 122 slides to and is electrically engageable with the valve connector 220 provided on the right side.

(2) Description of valve Assembly 200

The IGBT440 and the structure for achieving the above object are separately described in the "explosion-proof frame portion 400".

In the illustrated embodiment, the valve assembly 200 is located on the front side of the capacitor assembly 100. This is because maintenance of the valve assembly 200 is performed more frequently than maintenance of the capacitor assembly 100.

The valve assembly 200 can be easily combined with or separated from the capacitor assembly 100 by installing the separation part 700. This will be described in detail later.

The valve assembly 200 is supported by the rail assembly 500. Specifically, the valve assembly 200 is disposed at the valve cart unit 510b of the rail assembly 500. In one embodiment, the valve assembly 200 may be fixedly coupled to the valve cart unit 510 b.

The valve cover portion 210 is electrically connectable with the cart unit 510 of the rail assembly 500. The connection may be made by a ground lead portion 340. This allows the valve cover portion 210 to be grounded (grounded), thereby preventing unnecessary current conduction.

The direction from the valve cover portion 210 toward the explosion-proof frame portion 400 may be defined as an "inside direction". In addition, the direction from the explosion-proof frame portion 400 toward the valve cover portion 210 may be defined as an "outer direction".

An insulating cover 260 is provided in the inner direction of the cap portion 210.

The valve connector 220 may electrically connect the valve assembly 200 and the capacitor assembly 100. The valve connector 220 is located on the side of the valve assembly 200 facing the capacitor assembly 100, i.e. the rear side in the illustrated embodiment.

One side of valve connector 220, the forward side in the illustrated embodiment, is electrically connectable to output bus 250. In the illustrated embodiment, the one side of the valve connector 220 is threadably engaged with the output bus bar 250.

The other side of the valve connector 220, i.e., the rear side in the illustrated embodiment, is electrically connectable with the capacitor connector 120.

The valve connector 220 may be formed of a pair of plate members spaced apart from each other by a prescribed distance. That is, in the illustrated embodiment, the respective valve connectors 220 are respectively disposed in the outer direction and the inner direction, and are arranged to face each other.

The capacitor connector 120 can be slid into and removed from a space formed by the pair of plate members spaced apart from each other by the prescribed distance.

One side end portion of the pair of plate members toward the capacitor assembly 100, i.e., the rear side end portion in the illustrated embodiment, is formed in an arc shape toward the outside direction. Thereby, the sliding engagement and disengagement can be easily performed.

The pair of plate members may respectively include a plurality of bar members. In the illustrated embodiment, the pair of plate members includes four bar members stacked in the up-down direction. The number may be varied.

The valve connector 220 may have a plurality. In the illustrated embodiment, two valve connectors 220 are disposed at a predetermined distance from each other in the vertical direction. The valve connectors 220 are provided on the two output bus bars 250, respectively, and have four in total.

The number of valve connectors 220 may be changed to any number that can form the energized state of the valve assembly 200 and the capacitor assembly 100.

An input bus (buss bar)230 may electrically connect an external power source or load to the sub-module 10.

In the illustrated embodiment, the input bus bar 230 is formed to protrude a predetermined distance to the front side of the explosion proof frame portion 400. The front side of the input bus bar 230 is electrically connectable to an external power source or load.

Further, the rear side of input bus bar 230 is electrically connectable to current bus bar 420.

The input bus bar 230 may have a plurality. In the illustrated embodiment, the input bus 230 includes a first input bus 231 located at an upper side and a second input bus 232 located at a lower side.

The first input bus 231 is galvanically connected with the first live bus 421. Thus, the first input bus bar 231 can be electrically connected to the first IGBT 441.

The second input bus 232 is electrically connectable with a second power bus 422. Thereby, the second input bus 232 can be electrically connectable with the second IGBT 442.

The first input bus 231 and the second input bus 232 are electrically connectable to an external power source or load, respectively. In addition, the first and second input bus bars 231 and 232 are electrically connectable with the bypass switch 240.

The bypass switch 240 is configured to exclude any sub-module 10 from the modular multilevel converter 1 in case of a problem with a constituent of that sub-module 10.

Specifically, the bypass switch 240 may electrically short the first and second input bus bars 231 and 232 of the corresponding sub-module 10. Thereby, the current flowing into one of the first input bus 231 and the second input bus 232 of the corresponding sub-module 10 flows out through the other.

Thus, the corresponding sub-module 10 functions as a wire (wire), which can be electrically excluded from the modular multilevel converter 1.

The bypass switch 240 is located between the first input bus bar 231 and the second input bus bar 232 on the front side of the explosion-proof frame 400. The bypass switch 240 is electrically connectable with the first input bus 231 and the second input bus 232.

The prescribed distance may be equal to the distance separating the first capacitor connector 121 and the second capacitor connector 122.

Output bus bar 250 may be coupled to case unit 410 to cover IGBT accommodating section 413 together with energizing bus bar 420. Output bus 250 and energized bus 420 are electrically connectable.

In the illustrated embodiment, output bus 250 is located on the rear side of energized bus 420. Thus, output bus bar 250 is configured to cover the rear side of IGBT housing 413.

The output bus bar 250 includes: a first portion covering the IGBT accommodating section 413; a second portion bent at a predetermined angle from the first portion and covering one side (rear side in the illustrated embodiment) of the housing unit 410; and a third portion extending from the second portion, combined with the valve connector 220.

The insulative housing 260 internally houses a printed circuit board 280. In addition, the insulating cover 260 is in electrically-contactable contact with the energizing bus bar 420, thereby electrically connecting the printed circuit board 280 and the IGBT 440. Thus, the IGBT440 can be operated by the control signal calculated on the printed circuit board 280.

The insulating housing 260 has a plurality of. In the illustrated embodiment, the insulating cover 260 has two, which are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the explosion-proof frame portion 400.

The outer side of the insulating cover 260, i.e., the side facing away from the explosion-proof frame 400, can be covered by the cover 210. In the illustrated embodiment, the bonnet portions 210 are disposed on the left side of the insulating cover 260 on the left side and the right side of the insulating cover 260 on the right side, respectively.

The insulating cover 260 may shield electromagnetic noise generated from the printed circuit board 280 or the IGBT 440. The insulating cover 260 may be formed of an aluminum material.

Therefore, electromagnetic noise generated from the printed circuit board 280 or the IGBT440 does not flow out to the outside arbitrarily due to the valve cover portion 210 and the insulating cover 260.

A predetermined space is formed inside the insulating cover 260. An insulating layer 270 and a printed circuit board 280 are disposed in the space.

The insulating enclosure 260 includes a first wall 261, a second wall 262, a third wall 263, and a fourth wall 264.

The first wall 261 forms a front side wall of the insulating housing 260. The second wall 262 forms a rear sidewall of the insulating enclosure 260. The first wall 261 and the second wall 262 are disposed to face each other.

The surface covered with the insulating layer 270, that is, the side surface of the insulating cover 260 facing the bonnet portion 210 may be made of an aluminum material.

Thus, the inner space of the insulating cover 260 can be electrically shielded by the respective faces of the valve cap portion 210 and the insulating cover 260. As a result, electromagnetic noise generated from the printed circuit board 280 or the IGBT440 does not flow out to the outside.

The insulating layer 270 and the printed circuit board 280 are accommodated in a space surrounded by the first wall 261, the second wall 262, the third wall 263, and the fourth wall 264.

Insulating layer 270 is configured to block electromagnetic noise generated from IGBT440 from flowing into the internal space of insulating cover 260. In addition, the insulating layer 270 may also block electromagnetic noise generated from the printed circuit board 280 from moving toward the IGBT 440.

The insulating layer 270 is configured to cover the one side surface of the insulating cover 260. That is, the insulating layer 270 is located between the side of the insulating cover 260 opposite the valve cover portion 210 and the printed circuit board 280.

Therefore, the space formed inside the insulating cover 260 is surrounded by the insulating layer 270 toward the explosion-proof frame portion 400.

The shape of the insulating layer 270 may be changed corresponding to the shape of the one side surface of the insulating cover 260.

A printed circuit board 280 is provided on the insulating layer 270 in the outer direction, which is the side facing the bonnet portion 210.

The printed circuit board 280 calculates a control signal for controlling the IGBT 440. In addition, the printed circuit board 280 transmits the calculated control signal to the IGBT440, so that the driving of the sub-module 10 can be controlled.

The printed circuit board 280 and the IGBT440 are electrically connectable. In addition, printed circuit board 280 is galvanically connectable with energizing bus 420. Thus, external power and control signals may be transferred to the printed circuit board 280.

The printed circuit board 280 is received in the inner space of the insulating housing 260. As described above, the insulating layer 270 is disposed between the printed circuit board 280 and the one side surface of the insulating cover 260.

Accordingly, the printed circuit board 280 penetrates the insulating layer 270 and the one side surface of the insulating cover 260, so that it can be electrically connected with the energizing bus bar 420.

The sub-module 10 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a ground part 300. The ground portion 300 may be electrically connected to a capacitor element (not shown) provided in the capacitor module 100. Thus, the electric energy stored in the capacitor element (not shown) can be discharged by being grounded.

In particular, it may happen that the sub-module 10 needs to be moved for maintenance or movement purposes. At this time, if electric energy remains in the capacitor element (not shown), there is a risk of explosion or the like.

Therefore, the sub-module 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention can easily discharge the electric energy stored in the capacitor element (not shown) through the ground 300.

In the illustrated embodiment, the ground connection part 300 includes a ground rod unit 310, a ground connector 320, a ground projection 330, and a ground wire part 340.

The ground rod unit 310 forms a main body of the ground part 300. The ground rod unit 310 is formed to extend in one direction, i.e., the front-rear direction in the illustrated embodiment.

The ground rod unit 310 may be inserted into and coupled to the ground protrusion 330 that is electrically connected to the capacitor connector 120. In addition, the ground rod unit 310 may be electrically connectable with the ground projection 330.

Thus, the power stored in the capacitor device (not shown) can be grounded through the ground rod unit 310 via the capacitor connector 120.

The ground rod unit 310 is detachably inserted into and coupled to the ground lug 330. In the case where the grounding of the capacitor element (not shown) is not required, the ground rod unit 310 may be moved in a direction away from the capacitor assembly 100, i.e., in a direction opposite to the capacitor assembly 100. Thereby, the ground rod unit 310 may be separated from the ground projection 330.

The ground rod unit 310 may be coupled to the ground rod through hole 412 of the explosion-proof frame portion 400. The ground rod unit 310 may be guided by the ground rod penetration hole 412 to travel toward the ground projection 330.

In the illustrated embodiment, the ground rod unit 310 has a cylindrical shape with a hollow formed therein. The ground rod unit 310 may have any shape that can be electrically coupled with the ground lug 330. At this time, the shape of the ground rod unit 310 is preferably determined to correspond to the shape of the ground rod through hole 412.

The ground rod unit 310 may have a plurality. In the illustrated embodiment, the ground rod element 310 includes a first ground rod element 310a and a second ground rod element 310 b.

The body portion 311 is formed to extend in the longitudinal direction, i.e., the front-rear direction in the illustrated embodiment. The body portion 311 has a cylindrical shape with a circular cross section, and a hollow portion is formed therein. Various components for grounding are attached to the hollow portion.

The coupling portion 312 is a portion where the ground rod unit 310 is coupled to the ground projection 330. The coupling portion 312 is formed to extend a predetermined distance from the rear end portion of the illustrated embodiment toward the ground projecting portion 330.

The coupling portion 312 is located in a hollow portion formed inside the body portion 311. The outer surface of the coupling portion 312 may contact the inner surface of the body portion 311 surrounding the hollow portion.

A hollow portion is formed inside the coupling portion 312. The hollow portion may be formed to have a diameter less than that of the ground projection 330.

The bonding portion 312 may be formed of an elastically deformable material. Thus, when the ground projection 330 is inserted into the hollow portion of the coupling portion 312, the shape of the coupling portion 312 may be deformed and store the restoring force. By the restoring force, the coupling portion 312 may stably catch the ground projection 330.

In one embodiment, the bonding portion 312 may be formed of a rubber (rubber) material.

Thereby, the ground projection 330 is clip-coupled to the coupling portion 312, so that the coupling state between the ground rod unit 310 and the ground projection 330 can be stably maintained.

The ground conductor portion 313 and the ground projection 330 are electrically connectable. The electric energy stored in the capacitor element (not shown) can be transferred to the resistor 316 through the ground conductor 313.

The ground conductor portion 313 is formed to surround the coupling portion 312 on the outside. That is, the rear side end of the ground conductor portion 313 toward the ground projection 330, i.e., the rear side end in the illustrated embodiment, forms the rear side end of the main body portion 311.

A hollow portion is formed inside the ground conductor portion 313. The coupling portion 312 is accommodated in a portion of the hollow portion, i.e., the rear side in the illustrated embodiment. A portion that contacts the end of the ground projection 330 is formed on the remaining portion of the hollow portion, i.e., the front side in the illustrated embodiment. The shape of the portion may be determined to correspond to the shape of the ground protrusion 330.

The ground lead portion 314 extends in the longitudinal direction, i.e., the front-rear direction in the illustrated embodiment. The rear end of the ground lead portion 314 is electrically connected to the ground lead portion 313. The front end of the ground lead portion 314 is electrically connected to the resistor portion 316.

The sealing portion 315 is provided on the side of the body portion 311 where the ground lead portion 314 is exposed to the outside, i.e., the front side end portion in the illustrated embodiment. The seal 315 pulls the ground lead portion 314. The sealing portion 315 seals the space inside the body portion 311 to prevent foreign substances such as dust from flowing into the space.

The sealing portion 315 is configured to surround the ground lead portion 314. This prevents the ground lead portion 314 from moving in the longitudinal direction or in the radial direction.

The resistor 316 receives electric energy stored in a capacitor element (not shown) and discharges the capacitor element (not shown). The resistor portion 316 is electrically connectable to the ground lead portion 314.

The resistance portion 316 may be provided in any form that receives electrical energy and consumes it.

The ground connector 320 may electrically connect the capacitor connector 120 and the ground projection 330.

The ground connector 320 is electrically connectable with the capacitor connector 120. Thereby, the ground connector 320 and the capacitor element (not shown) can be electrically connected.

The ground connector 320 and the ground protrusion 330 are electrically connectable. Thereby, the capacitor element (not shown) and the ground projection 330 can be electrically connected.

A plate member forming a predetermined angle with the front-rear direction may be provided on the front side, which is the side of the ground connector 320 facing the valve assembly 200. The ground projection 330 may be formed to project from the plate member toward the direction facing the valve assembly 200, i.e., the front side. In one embodiment, the prescribed angle may be a right angle.

In the illustrated embodiment, the ground connector 320 is located on the upper side of the capacitor connector 120. The ground connector 320 is formed to extend upward from the capacitor connector 120 by a predetermined distance. In one embodiment, the ground connector 320 may be threadably coupled with the capacitor connector 120.

A residual water collecting unit 960 of the cooling passage portion 900 may be provided on an upper side of the ground connector 320. The ground connector 320 may be configured to support the residual water collecting unit 960.

The ground connector 320 may have a plurality. In the illustrated embodiment, the ground connector 320 includes a first ground connector 321 and a second ground connector 322. The first ground connector 321 is electrically connectable to the first capacitor connector 121. The second ground connector 322 is electrically connectable with the second capacitor connector 122.

The ground rod unit 310 is inserted into and coupled to the ground lug 330. The grounding projection 330 is formed to project a predetermined distance toward the front side in the illustrated embodiment, which is a direction facing the valve assembly 200.

The protruding length of the ground projection 330 is preferably determined to correspond to the length of a hollow formed inside the ground conductor part 313.

The side of the ground lug 330 facing the ground connector 320, i.e. the rear side in the illustrated embodiment, is electrically connectable to the ground connector 320. In one embodiment, the ground projection 330 may be formed to project from the plate member of the ground connector 320.

Therefore, when the ground rod unit 310 is inserted into and coupled to the ground projection 330, the capacitor element (not shown), the capacitor connector 120, the ground connector 320, the ground projection 330, and the ground rod unit 310 can be electrically connected.

The ground lead part 340 grounds various electrical devices (best shown in fig. 7 and 8) housed inside the valve assembly 200. The ground lead part 340 may electrically connect each of the electric devices and the valve cart unit 510b of the rail assembly 500.

The ground wire part 340 includes a PCB ground wire 341, a cover ground wire 342, and a bus bar ground wire 343.

PCB ground conductor 341 may electrically connect printed circuit board 280 and valve trolley unit 510 b. The housing ground lead 342 may electrically connect the insulating housing 260 and the valve trolley unit 510 b. A busbar ground lead 343 may electrically connect the output busbar 250 and the valve trolley unit 510 b.

Thereby, each electrical device housed inside the valve assembly 200 can be stably operated.

Hereinafter, a process of discharging the capacitor element (not shown) through the ground portion 300 will be described with reference to fig. 4 again.

In the following description, the direction in which the ground rod unit 310 faces the capacitor module 100 is assumed to be the rear side, and the direction in which the ground rod unit 310 is away from the capacitor module 100, that is, the direction opposite to the capacitor module 100 is assumed to be the front side.

First, the ground rod unit 310 moves to the front side and passes through the ground rod through hole 412 of the explosion-proof frame portion 400. In this case, the ground rod through holes 412 are formed on the front side and the rear side, respectively, and may be arranged to have the same central axis.

When the ground rod unit 310, which has passed through the ground rod through-hole 412 on the front side and the rear side, continues to move to the front side, it is inserted from the coupling portion 312 and coupled to the ground projection 330. At this time, the ground projection 330 may be configured to have the same central axis as the ground rod through hole 412.

Accordingly, the shape of the ground rod unit 310 may be stably combined with the ground protrusion 330 while maintaining a straight line shape.

If the ground projection 330 is inserted therein, the shape of the coupling portion 312 is deformed and the stored restoring force is applied to the ground projection 330. Thereby, the coupling state of the ground projection 330 and the ground rod unit 310 can be stably maintained.

As the insertion of the ground projection 330 proceeds, the front side end portion of the ground projection 330 comes into contact with the ground conductor portion 313. This allows a current to flow between the capacitor element (not shown) and the resistor 316, thereby discharging the electric energy stored in the capacitor element (not shown).

5. Description of the explosion proof frame section 400 of an embodiment of the invention

The sub-module 10 of the embodiment of the invention comprises an explosion proof frame part 400. The explosion-proof frame portion 400 may internally house switching elements such as IGBTs 440.

In addition, in the event of explosion of the housed IGBTs 440, the explosion-proof frame section 400 of the embodiment of the invention can prevent damage to the adjacent IGBTs 440. Further, the explosion-proof frame portion 400 according to the embodiment of the present invention is formed so as to be able to easily discharge gas and the like generated by the explosion.

As shown in fig. 2-4 and 7-9, an explosion proof frame portion 400 may be provided to the valve assembly 200. This is because the IGBT440 functioning as a switching element is provided in the valve assembly 200.

Accordingly, the explosion proof frame portion 400 can also be understood as being included in the valve assembly 200.

The explosion-proof frame portion 400 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 10 to 12.

In the illustrated embodiment, the explosion proof frame section 400 includes a housing unit 410, an energized bus bar 420, a cooling plate 430, and an IGBT 440.

The housing unit 410 forms the outer shape of the explosion-proof frame portion 400. An energized bus bar 420 and a cooling plate 430 are combined with the housing unit 410.

A predetermined space is formed inside the case unit 410. The IGBT440 may be accommodated in the space.

An insulating cover 260 may be coupled to one side of the housing unit 410 in an outside direction, i.e., a direction away from the cooling plate 430, i.e., a direction opposite to the cooling plate 430.

The housing unit 410 may have a plurality. In the illustrated embodiment, there are two housing units 410. The respective housing units 410 may be formed in a symmetrical shape to each other. Hereinafter, one housing unit 410 will be described, but it is understood that the other housing unit 410 also has the same structure.

The respective housing units 410 are combined to form a predetermined space therebetween. Cooling plate 430 and IGBT440 are provided in the predetermined space.

Output bus bar 250 and current bus bar 420 are coupled to the outside of case unit 410, i.e., in the direction toward valve cover portion 210. The output bus bar 250 and the energizing bus bar 420 are located between the housing unit 410 and the insulating cover 260.

A cooling plate 430 is coupled in an inner direction of the case units 410, i.e., a direction in which the respective case units 410 face each other. That is, the cooling plate 430 is located between the respective case units 410.

An IGBT440 is provided in the inner direction of the case unit 410, i.e., in the direction of the cooling plate 430. That is, the IGBT440 is located between the case unit 410 and the cooling plate 430.

For the coupling between the housing unit 410, the energized bus bar 420, the cooling plate 430, and the IGBT440, a fastening member (not shown) may be provided.

The case unit 410, the insulating cover 260, and the valve cover 210 may be coupled to each other by a fastening member (not shown).

In an embodiment, the fastening member (not shown) may be a screw member.

The case unit 410 may be formed of an insulating material. In addition, the case unit 410 may be formed of a material having heat resistance, pressure resistance, and wear resistance. In an embodiment, the housing unit 410 may be formed of a synthetic resin material.

In the illustrated embodiment, the housing unit 410 is formed to extend in the up-down direction. This is because the plurality of IGBTs 440 are arranged in the vertical direction as described later.

The case unit 410 includes a projection 411, a ground rod through hole 412, an IGBT housing 413, an inner wall 414, an outer wall 415, an inner communication groove 416, an outer communication groove 417, a buffer space 418, and an edge 419.

The protrusion 411 is formed to protrude from the upper side of the case unit 410. The protrusion 411 may be formed in plural. The plurality of protrusions 411 may be formed to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance.

In the illustrated embodiment, the protrusion 411 is formed to protrude from the upper front and rear sides of the upper side of the case unit 410. The respective convex portions 411 may be located on the same line in the front-rear direction.

A ground rod through hole 412 is formed through the projection 411.

The ground rod unit 310 is inserted into and coupled to the ground rod through hole 412. The ground rod through hole 412 is formed through the projection 411. In the illustrated embodiment, the ground rod through hole 412 is formed to penetrate in the front-rear direction.

The ground rod penetration hole 412 may be formed to correspond to the shape of the ground rod unit 310. In the illustrated embodiment, the ground rod unit 310 is cylindrical in shape, and the ground rod penetration hole 412 may be formed to have a circular cross section.

As described above, the convex portions 411 may be formed at the front side and the rear side, respectively. The ground rod through holes 412 may be formed through the plurality of protrusions 411, respectively.

The ground bar penetration holes 412 formed at the respective protrusions 411 may be formed to have the same central axis as each other. In addition, the ground rod penetration hole 412 may be formed to have the same central axis as the ground projection 330.

The IGBT housing 413 houses the IGBT 440. The IGBT housing 413 may be defined by a predetermined space formed inside the case unit 410. IGBT housing 413 is formed to be recessed a predetermined distance from the side of case unit 410 facing cooling plate 430.

IGBT accommodating section 413 may be covered by output bus bar 250 and energizing bus bar 420. Specifically, the opening of the IGBT housing 413 on the side facing the insulating cover 260 may be covered by the output bus bar 250 and the current bus bar 420.

The IGBT housing 413 may be formed in plural. In the illustrated embodiment, the IGBT housing 413 includes: a first IGBT accommodating section 413a formed on a side of the IGBT accommodating section 413 facing the protruding section 411; and a second IGBT accommodating part 413b formed at the other side of the IGBT accommodating part 413, which is away from the protrusion 411 (i.e., opposite to the first IGBT accommodating part 413a and the protrusion 411).

This is because the IGBT440 includes two first IGBTs 441 and second IGBTs 442. That is, the first IGBT441 is housed in the first IGBT housing 413a, and the second IGBT442 is housed in the second IGBT housing 413 b.

As described above, the housing unit 410 has two and is coupled to each other. Two IGBT housing portions 413 are formed in one case unit 410, and it is understood that four IGBTs 440 in total are housed in each explosion-proof frame portion 400.

The shape of each

IGBT housing

413a, 413b may be determined to correspond to the shape of each IGBT441, 442 housed therein. In addition, the first and second

IGBT accommodating parts

413a and 413b may be formed in shapes corresponding to each other.

A partition wall portion 413c is formed between the first IGBT housing portion 413a and the second IGBT housing portion 413 b. When the case unit 410 and the cooling plate 430 are joined, one side surface of the partition wall 413c facing the cooling plate 430 is in contact with the cooling plate 430.

As a result, the partition wall 413c physically partitions the first IGBT housing 413a and the second IGBT housing 413b on the side facing the cooling plate 430. Thus, even if one of the first IGBT413a and the second IGBT413b explodes, the other IGBT is not affected.

The IGBT housing 413 is open on a side away from the cooling plate 430 (i.e., opposite to the cooling plate 430), that is, on a side of the IGBT housing 413 facing the energized bus bar 420. The IGBT440 is exposed to the outside of the IGBT housing 413 through the one side. The exposed portion of the IGBT440 is in electrifiable contact with the energized bus bar 420.

On the other hand, the IGBT accommodating portion 413 may be defined by a space surrounded by the partition wall portion 413c, the inner wall portion 414, and the edge portion 419.

That is, the first IGBT accommodating section 413a may be defined by a space surrounded by the first inner wall section 414a forming the front and rear side walls, the partition wall section 413c forming the lower side wall, and the edge section 419 forming the upper side wall.

Similarly, the second IGBT accommodating part 413b may be defined by a space surrounded by a second inner wall part 414b forming front and rear side walls, a partition wall part 413c forming an upper side wall, and an edge part 419 forming a lower side wall.

The inner wall portion 414 partially surrounds the IGBT accommodating portion 413. In the illustrated embodiment, the inner wall portion 414 is formed to surround the front and rear sides of the IGBT accommodating portion 413. The inner wall portion 414 may be continuous with the partition wall portion 413 c.

The inner wall portion 414 may be surrounded by the outer wall portion 415. The inner wall 414 is spaced apart from the outer wall 415 by a predetermined distance. By the partition, a space formed between the inner wall portion 414 and the outer wall portion 415 is defined as a buffer space portion 418.

When the housing unit 410 and the cooling plate 430 are joined, the cooling plate 430 is in contact with one side surface of the inner wall portion 414 facing the cooling plate 430.

An internal communication groove 416 is formed in the inner wall portion 414. The gas generated by the explosion of the IGBT440 can flow into the buffer space portion 418 through the internal communication groove 416.

The inner wall portion 414 includes a first inner wall portion 414a and a second inner wall portion 414 b.

The first inner wall portion 414a partially surrounds the first IGBT accommodating portion 413 a. The first inner wall portion 414a is located on the side toward the convex portion 411, i.e., the upper side in the illustrated embodiment.

The second inner wall portion 414b partially surrounds the second IGBT accommodating portion 413 b. The second inner wall portion 414b is located on the other side, i.e., the lower side in the illustrated embodiment, away from the projection 411 (i.e., opposite the projection 411).

The outer wall portion 415 partially surrounds the inner wall portion 414. In the illustrated embodiment, the outer wall portion 415 is formed to surround the front and rear sides of the inner wall portion 414. The outer wall portion 415 may be continuous with the rim portion 419.

The outer wall portion 415 is spaced apart from the inner wall portion 414 by a predetermined distance. By the partition, a space formed between the outer wall portion 415 and the inner wall portion 414 is defined as a buffer space portion 418.

When the housing unit 410 and the cooling plate 430 are coupled, a side surface of the outer wall portion 415 facing the cooling plate 430 is in contact with the cooling plate 430.

The outer wall portion 415 is formed with an external communication groove 417. The gas generated by the explosion of the IGBT440 can be discharged to the outside of the explosion-proof frame portion 400 through the buffer space portion 418 and the external communication groove 417.

The outer wall portion 415 includes a first outer wall portion 415a and a second outer wall portion 415 b.

The first outer wall portion 415a partially surrounds the first inner wall portion 414a and the first buffer space portion 418 a. The first outer wall portion 415a is located on a side toward the projecting portion 411, i.e., an upper side in the illustrated embodiment.

The second outer wall portion 415b partially surrounds the second inner wall portion 414b and the second buffer space portion 418 b. The second outer wall portion 415b is located on the other side, i.e., the lower side in the illustrated embodiment, away from the protruding portion 411 (i.e., opposite to the protruding portion 411).

The internal communication groove 416 communicates the IGBT accommodating section 413 and the buffer space section 418. Gas generated by the explosion of the IGBT440 can flow from the IGBT housing part 413 to the buffer space part 418 through the internal communication groove 416.

The inner communication groove 416 is formed in the inner wall portion 414. Specifically, the internal communication groove 416 is formed by being recessed from one side surface of the inner wall portion 414 toward the cooling plate 430 by a predetermined distance.

As described above, when explosion-proof frame portion 400 is coupled, one side surface of inner wall portion 414 facing cooling plate 430 is in contact with cooling plate 430. Accordingly, the IGBT housing part 413 can communicate with the buffer space part 418 only through the internal communication groove 416.

In the illustrated embodiment, the internal communication groove 416 is formed as a groove having a quadrangular cross section formed to extend in the up-down direction, but the shape thereof may be changed.

The internal communication groove 416 may be formed in plural. The plurality of internal communication grooves 416 are formed at a predetermined distance from each other. In the illustrated embodiment, three internal communication grooves 416 are formed in each inner wall portion 414, and are arranged at predetermined intervals.

In an embodiment, the prescribed distance may be equal to the extension length of the external communication groove 417. In addition, the number of internal communication grooves 416 may be changed.

The inner communication groove 416 is arranged to be shifted from the outer communication groove 417. That is, the virtual surfaces of the inner communication groove 416 and the outer communication groove 417 do not overlap each other. Thus, an arc (arc) generated by the explosion of the IGBT440 or debris generated at the time of explosion is not discharged to the outside.

In addition, with this arrangement, the generated gas does not pass through the internal communication groove 416 and the external communication groove 417 at once.

The internal communication groove 416 includes a first internal communication groove 416a and a second internal communication groove 416 b.

The first internal communication groove 416a is formed in the first inner wall portion 414 a. In the illustrated embodiment, the first inner wall portion 414a is formed to surround the first IGBT accommodating portion 413a on the front side and the rear side. Thus, the first internal communication grooves 416a are also formed on the front side and the rear side of the first IGBT accommodating section 413a, respectively.

The second internal communication groove 416b is formed in the second inner wall portion 414 b. In the illustrated embodiment, the second inner wall portion 414b is formed to surround the second IGBT accommodating portion 413b on the front side and the rear side. Thus, the second inner communication grooves 416b are also formed on the front side and the rear side of the second IGBT accommodating section 413b, respectively.

The external communication groove 417 communicates the buffer space portion 418 and the external space. Gas generated by the explosion of the IGBT440 can flow from the buffer space portion 418 to the external space through the external communication groove 417.

The external communication groove 417 is formed in the outer wall portion 415. Specifically, the external communication groove 417 is formed by being recessed from one side surface of the outer wall portion 415 toward the cooling plate 430 by a predetermined distance.

As described above, when explosion-proof frame portion 400 is coupled, one side surface of outer wall portion 415 facing cooling plate 430 is in contact with cooling plate 430. Thus, the buffer space portion 418 can communicate with the external space only through the external communication groove 417.

In the illustrated embodiment, the external communication groove 417 is formed as a groove having a quadrangular cross section formed to extend in the up-down direction, but the shape thereof may be changed.

The external communication groove 417 may be formed in plural. The plurality of external communication grooves 417 are formed at a predetermined distance from each other. In the illustrated embodiment, four external communication grooves 417 are formed for each of the outer wall portions 415, and are arranged at predetermined distances from each other.

In one embodiment, the prescribed distance may be equal to the extension length of the internal communication groove 416. In addition, the number of the external communication grooves 417 may be changed.

The external communication groove 417 is arranged to be shifted from the internal communication groove 416. That is, the virtual surfaces of the external communication groove 417 and the internal communication groove 416 do not overlap each other. Thus, an arc (arc) generated by the explosion of the IGBT440 or debris generated at the time of explosion is not discharged to the outside.

The external communication groove 417 includes a first external communication groove 417a and a second external communication groove 417 b.

The first external communication groove 417a is formed in the first outer wall portion 415 a. In the illustrated embodiment, the first outer wall portion 415a is formed so as to surround the first inner wall portion 414a and the first buffer space portion 418a on the front and rear sides. Thus, the first external communication groove 417a is also formed on the front side and the rear side of the first buffer space portion 418a, respectively.

The second outer communication groove 417b is formed in the second outer wall portion 415 b. In the illustrated embodiment, the second outer wall portion 415b is formed to surround the second inner wall portion 414b and the second buffer space portion 418b on the front side and the rear side. Thus, the second outer communication groove 417b is also formed on the front side and the rear side of the first cushion space portion 418b, respectively.

The buffer space portion 418 is a space that accommodates an arc and debris generated as the IGBT440 explodes. Thereby, the arc and the debris are not discharged to the outside space through the outside communication groove 417.

The buffer space 418 is a space in which the gas flowing in from the IGBT housing 413 stays before being discharged to the outside. Thereby, the gas can be discharged after the temperature and pressure are reduced.

The buffer space portion 418 is formed by the inner wall portion 414 and the outer wall portion 415 being spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. The buffer space portion 418 is located between the inner wall portion 414 and the outer wall portion 415. Buffer space portion 418 is formed by being recessed a predetermined distance from the side of case unit 410 facing cooling plate 430.

In the illustrated embodiment, the inner wall portion 414 and the outer wall portion 415 are formed on the front side and the rear side of the IGBT accommodating portion 413, respectively. Thus, the buffer space portions 418 are also formed on the front side and the rear side of the IGBT accommodating portion 413, respectively.

The front and rear sides of the cushion space portion 418 are surrounded by the inner wall portion 414 and the outer wall portion 415. The upper and lower sides of the buffer space portion 418 are surrounded by the fastening member coupling portion.

As described above, when the explosion-proof frame portion 400 is joined, the cooling plate 430 is in contact with one side surface of each of the inner wall portion 414 and the outer wall portion 415 facing the cooling plate 430. In addition, a side surface of each of the fastening member coupling portions facing the cooling plate 430 is also in contact with the cooling plate 430.

Therefore, the communication between the buffer space portion 418 and the outside is blocked except for the internal communication groove 416 and the external communication groove 417.

That is, the buffer space portion 418 is surrounded by the case unit 410, the partition wall portion 413c, the inner wall portion 414, the outer wall portion 415, and the cooling plate 430.

The buffer space portion 418 communicates with the IGBT housing portion 413. The communication is achieved by an internal communication slot 416. The buffer space portion 418 communicates with an external space. The communication is achieved by an external communication groove 417.

Thereby, the temperature and pressure of the gas generated from the IGBT accommodating part 413 can be discharged to the external space after the buffer space part 418 is reduced.

The buffer space portion 418 includes a first buffer space portion 418a and a second buffer space portion 418 b.

The first buffer space portion 418a is formed between the first inner wall portion 414a and the first outer wall portion 415 a. The first buffer space portion 418a is formed in front of and behind the first inner wall portion 414 a.

The second buffer space portion 418b is formed between the second inner wall portion 414b and the second outer wall portion 415 b. The second buffer space portion 418b is formed in front of and behind the second inner wall portion 414 b.

The edge portion 419 is configured to partially surround the IGBT housing portion 413.

Specifically, an edge portion 419 formed on the upper side, which is the side facing the protruding portion 411, surrounds the upper side of the first IGBT accommodating portion 413 a. In addition, an edge portion 419 formed on the other side (i.e., the other side opposite to the protrusion 411) away from the protrusion 411, that is, the lower side, surrounds the lower side of the second IGBT accommodating portion 413 b.

The edge portion 419 is formed to protrude from the side of the case unit 410 facing the cooling plate 430.

When the housing unit 410 is coupled to the cooling plate 430, a side surface of the edge portion 419 that faces the cooling plate 430 is in contact with the cooling plate 430. Thereby, the IGBT housing 413 can be sealed except for the internal communication groove 416 described above.

The edge 419 may be formed with a plurality of grooves recessed by a predetermined distance. By the groove portion, the entire weight of the housing unit 410 can be reduced. In addition, the rigidity of the case unit 410 can be enhanced by the groove portion.

A plurality of fastening holes are formed through the edge 419. A fastening member (not shown) may be penetratingly coupled to the fastening hole. Accordingly, the respective case units 410 and the cooling plates 430 may be fastened.

Energized bus 420 transfers the current delivered to valve assembly 200 to capacitor assembly 100. In addition, the energizing bus 420 may electrically connect the printed circuit board 280 and the IGBT 440.

The live bus 420 is galvanically connected with the input bus 230. The electrical energy transferred to the input bus 230 may be transferred to the energized bus 420.

Energizing bus 420 is electrically connectable with output bus 250. The electrical energy transferred to energized bus 420 is transferred to output bus 250.

The energizing bus 420 is electrically connectable with the printed circuit board 280 and the IGBT440, respectively. The control signal operated in the printed circuit board 280 or the IGBT440 may be transmitted to another constituent element.

The energizing bus bar 420 may be coupled to the case unit 410 together with the output bus bar 250 to cover the IGBT accommodating portion 413. Live bus 420 and output bus 250 are galvanically connected.

In the illustrated embodiment, the energized bus 420 is located on the front side of the output bus 250. Thus, the current bus 420 is configured to cover the front side of the IGBT housing 413.

The energized bus 420 includes a first energized bus 421 and a second energized bus 422.

The first power bus 421 is located on the upper side of the second power bus 422, and is electrically connectable to the first input bus 231 and the output bus 250. The second power bus 422 is located on the lower side of the first power bus 421, and is electrically connected to the second input bus 232 and the output bus 250.

In the illustrated embodiment, the energized bus 420 is located between the housing unit 410 and the insulating enclosure 260.

The energized bus bar 420 is formed to extend in one direction, i.e., the front-rear direction in the illustrated embodiment. The current bus 420 is formed by bending a front end and a rear end, which are both ends in the one direction, at a predetermined angle toward the housing unit 410. In one embodiment, the prescribed angle may be a right angle.

Therefore, when conducting bus 420 is coupled to case unit 410, conducting bus 420 surrounds the front side, the left side, or the right side and the rear side of case unit 410.

The energizing bus 420 may be formed of a material capable of energizing. In addition, the power bus 420 may be formed of a material having high rigidity. In an embodiment, the energized bus 420 may be formed from a material including iron.

Therefore, in the case where the IGBT440 accommodated in the IGBT accommodation part 413 explodes, damage or shape deformation of the case unit 410 can be minimized by surrounding the energizing bus bar 420 of the case unit 410.

In one embodiment, the housing unit 410, the power bus 420, the cooling plate 430, and the insulating cover 260 may be screw-coupled.

Cooling plate 430 is configured to cool heat generated as IGBT440 operates. That is, cooling plate 430 exchanges heat with IGBT440 to cool IGBT 440.

In the illustrated embodiment, the cooling plate 430 has a quadrangular plate shape extending in the up-down direction. The shape of the cooling plate 430 may be any shape that can exchange heat with the IGBT 440.

The cooling plate 430 is located between the two housing units 410. In addition, the cooling plate 430 is positioned between the IGBTs 440 accommodated in the respective case units 410.

In other words, when viewed from the front side, case unit 410, IGBT440, cooling plate 430, IGBT440, and case unit 410 are arranged in this order in the left or right direction or in the opposite direction.

The cooling plates 430 are in contact with the IGBTs 440 located at the left and right sides, respectively. In an embodiment, the cooling plates 430 may be in surface contact with the IGBTs 440, respectively.

The cooling plate 430 communicates with the outside. Specifically, the cooling plate 430 communicates with a cooling passage section 900 described later.

Further, a predetermined space is formed inside cooling plate 430. The cooling fluid supplied from the outside may receive heat from the IGBT440 while circulating the space inside the cooling plate 430. In addition, the cooling fluid receiving the heat may be discharged to the outside again.

The cooling plate 430 includes an inflow port 431 and an outflow port 432.

The inlet 431 is in communication with a valve inlet pipe 951 of the cooling passage section 900. The low-temperature cooling fluid may flow into the inner space of the cooling plate 430 through the inflow port 431.

The outlet 432 communicates with a valve outlet pipe 952 of the cooling passage section 900. The cooling fluid heat-exchanged with the IGBT440 may be discharged from the inner space of the cooling plate 430 through the outflow port 432.

In the illustrated embodiment, the inlet 431 and the outlet 432 are formed to penetrate the upper side of the cooling plate 430. The inlet 431 is located behind the outlet 432. The position can be changed.

The IGBTs 440 control the current flow into and out of the sub-module 10. In one embodiment, the IGBT440 may function as a switching element.

The IGBT440 is accommodated in the IGBT accommodation part 413. IGBT440 accommodated in IGBT accommodating portion 413 is sealed by partition wall portion 413c, inner wall portion 414, edge portion 419, and cooling plate 430.

The IGBT440 may be in surface contact with the cooling plate 430. Specifically, respective faces of the cooling plate 430 and the IGBT440 facing each other may contact each other. Thereby, heat generated in the IGBT440 is transferred to the cooling plate 430, so that the IGBT440 can be cooled.

The IGBT440 and the energized bus 420 are electrically connectable. Electrical energy for operating the IGBTs 440 may be transferred through the energized bus 420.

The IGBT440 and the printed circuit board 280 are electrically connectable. The control signal calculated in the printed circuit board 280 may be transmitted to a capacitor element (not shown) or the like through the IGBT 440.

The IGBT440 can allow or block the passage of current between the printed circuit board 280 and a device such as a capacitor element (not shown) by a switching operation.

The IGBT440 may have a plurality. In the illustrated embodiment, the IGBT440 includes: a first IGBT440 disposed on the upper side in the direction toward the protruding portion 411; and a second IGBT440 disposed on the lower side in a direction away from the protruding portion 411 (i.e., in the opposite direction to the first IGBT440 and the protruding portion 411).

As described above, the housing unit 410 may have two. Thus, in the illustrated embodiment, there are two IGBTs 440, four in total, provided on each of the left and right housing units 410.

As described above, the housing unit 410 is formed with the buffer space portion 418. The arc, gas, debris, and the like generated when the IGBT440 explodes flow into the buffer space portion 418 through the internal communication groove 416.

Therefore, the arc and the gas of high temperature and high pressure can be discharged to the external space after the temperature and pressure are decreased.

The external communication groove 417 that communicates the buffer space portion 418 with the external space is arranged so as to be shifted from the internal communication groove 416.

Therefore, the path from the IGBT housing part 413 to the external space via the internal communication groove 416, the buffer space part 418, and the external communication groove 417 becomes long. Thus, the high-temperature and high-pressure arc and gas are not directly discharged to the external space after the explosion.

The debris and the like passing through the internal communication groove 416 are blocked by the outer wall portion 415 surrounding the buffer space portion 418. Thereby, the amount of debris discharged to the external space of the explosion-proof frame portion 400 immediately after explosion can be minimized.

6. Description of a track assembly 500 of an embodiment of the present invention

The sub-module 10 of an embodiment of the present invention includes a rail assembly 500. The rail assembly 500 slidably supports the valve assembly 200 and the capacitor assembly 100.

In addition, the rail assembly 500 of the embodiment of the present invention is configured to prevent the valve assembly 200 and the capacitor assembly 100 from being arbitrarily detached.

As shown in fig. 19, the rail unit 540 of the rail assembly 500 is coupled to the support portion 23. Thus, the rail unit 540 may also be considered as a part of the frame 20.

Hereinafter, referring to fig. 13 to 16, the rail assembly 500 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

In the illustrated embodiment, the rail assembly 500 includes a cart unit 510, a bracket unit 520, a fastening unit 530, and a rail unit 540.

The cart unit 510 slidably supports the capacitor assembly 100 and the valve assembly 200. The cart unit 510 supports the capacitor assembly 100 and the valve assembly 200 at the lower side.

The capacitor assembly 100 and the valve assembly 200 may slide toward the front side or the rear side together with the cart unit 510 in a state of being seated on the cart unit 510.

The capacitor assembly 100 and the valve assembly 200 may be respectively combined with the cart unit 510 through the bracket unit 520 and an additional fastening member (not shown). In an embodiment, the capacitor assembly 100 and the valve assembly 200 may be screw-coupled with the holder unit 520.

The cart unit 510 may have a plurality. The cart unit 510 in which the capacitor assemblies 100 are disposed among the plurality of cart units 510 may be referred to as a capacitor cart unit 510 a. In addition, the cart unit 510 in which the valve assembly 200 is seated may be referred to as a valve cart unit 510 b.

The overall structure and function of capacitor cart unit 510a and valve cart unit 510b are similar. Therefore, in the following description, the capacitor cart unit 510a and the valve cart unit 510b are collectively referred to as a cart unit 510.

The cart unit 510 is slidably coupled to the rail unit 540. The cart unit 510 can slide to the front side or the rear side along the rail unit 540.

The cart unit 510 is formed to extend in the direction in which the capacitor module 100 and the valve module 200 are connected, i.e., the front-rear direction in the illustrated embodiment.

The extending length of the capacitor cart unit 510a may be determined according to the front-rear direction length of the capacitor assembly 100. Similarly, the extension length of the valve cart unit 510b may be determined according to the front-rear direction length of the valve assembly 200. Therefore, the extension lengths of the capacitor cart unit 510a and the valve cart unit 510b may be different from each other.

The cart unit 510 includes a cart main body portion 511, an extension portion 512, an arc portion 513, and a wheel portion 514.

The cart main body portion 511 forms a main body of the cart unit 510. The cart unit 510 is formed to extend a predetermined length in the front-rear direction. The cart unit 510 is formed to extend in the left-right direction to have a predetermined width.

In the illustrated embodiment, the cart main body portion 511 has a quadrangular plate shape formed to extend in the front-rear direction. The shape of the cart body portion 511 may be any shape capable of supporting the capacitor assembly 100 or the valve assembly 200.

As shown in fig. 13, an elastic member coupling portion 511a is provided on the right side of the cart main body portion 511. The elastic member coupling portion 511a is formed to protrude a predetermined distance from the lower side surface of the cart main body portion 511.

The cart coupling portion 631 of the elastic member 630 of the detachment prevention portion 600 is coupled to the elastic member coupling portion 511 a. In one embodiment, the elastic member coupling portion 511a may be a screw member.

An extension 512 is provided on the side of the cart body 511 facing the rail unit 540, i.e., on the lower side in the illustrated embodiment.

The extension portion 512 is configured to maintain a distance between the rail unit 540 and the cart body 511. In addition, an arc part 513 coupled to the rail unit 540 is formed to protrude from the extension part 512.

The extension 512 is formed to protrude a predetermined distance from the cart body 511 toward the rail unit 540. The extending portion 512 extends in the longitudinal direction of the cart main body portion 511, i.e., the front-rear direction in the illustrated embodiment. The extension portion 512 may be formed to extend in the same length as the cart body portion 511.

The extension 512 is plural. In the illustrated embodiment, the extensions 512 are disposed on the left and right sides, respectively. The extending portions 512 are disposed at a predetermined distance from each other. The predetermined distance may be formed to be longer than a distance between the respective ends of the rail bending part 542 of the rail unit 540.

An arc portion 513 is formed to protrude from the extension portion 512. In addition, the wheel portion 514 is rotatably coupled to the extension portion 512.

The arc part 513 is a part where the cart unit 510 is combined with the rail unit 540. Specifically, the arc-shaped portion 513 is inserted into and coupled to a space surrounded by the rail bending portion 542 of the rail unit 540. By the arc-shaped portion 513, the cart unit 510 and the rail unit 540 are not arbitrarily separated.

The arc portion 513 is formed to protrude a predetermined distance from one end of the extension portion 512 facing the rail unit 540, i.e., a lower end in the illustrated embodiment. The arc-shaped portion 513 is formed to protrude inward, i.e., in the illustrated embodiment, a predetermined distance in the direction of the rail curved portion 542. In other words, the arc portion 513 is formed to protrude a predetermined distance in a direction away from the wheel portion 514 (i.e., in a direction opposite to the wheel portion 514).

The arc portion 513 is formed to have a circular cross section as a whole. That is, the outer surface of the arc-shaped portion 513 is formed to be arc-shaped toward the rail bending portion 542 except for the portion where the arc-shaped portion 513 is connected to the extension portion 512.

The arc part 513 may be formed in plural. In the illustrated embodiment, the arc portions 513 are provided on the left and right sides, respectively. Each arc portion 513 is formed to arcuately protrude from each extension portion 512 toward the rail bending portion 542.

The one side of the arc-shaped portion 513 toward the rail bent portion 542 in the horizontal direction may be in contact with the third rail bent portion 542c of the rail bent portion 524. A distance between each side of the respective arc-shaped portions 513 may be formed longer than a length between ends of the respective rail bent portions 542.

The arc portion 513 is formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the cart main body portion 511, i.e., the front-rear direction in the illustrated embodiment. The arc portion 513 may be formed to extend in the same length as the cart main body portion 511 and the extension portion 512.

A cart hollow portion 513a is formed inside the arc portion 513. The cart hollow portion 513a is formed to penetrate in the longitudinal direction in which the arc portion 513 extends. A blocking fastening member 641 of the detachment prevention portion 600 described later is inserted and fastened into the cart hollow portion 513 a.

The wheel part 514 rotates as the cart unit 510 moves to slide the cart unit 510 along the rail unit 540.

The wheel portion 514 is rotatably coupled to the extension portion 512. The extension portion 512 may remain stationary regardless of the rotation of the wheel portion 514. For the bonding, a bearing member (not shown) may be provided.

The wheel portion 514 may have a plurality. In the illustrated embodiment, the two wheel portions 514 are located on the left and right sides at a prescribed distance from each other.

Further, a plurality of wheel portions 514 may be provided in the left-right direction at the lower end of the cart unit 510, respectively.

Referring again to fig. 2 and 4, three wheel portions 514 spaced apart from each other at predetermined intervals in the front-rear direction are provided in the left-right direction of the capacitor cart unit 510a, respectively. Two wheel portions 514 are provided in the left-right direction of the valve cart unit 510b at a predetermined interval in the front-rear direction.

The number of the wheel portions 514 provided to the capacitor cart unit 510a and the valve cart unit 510b may be changed.

In the illustrated embodiment, the wheel portion 514 is a continuously-combined shape having a plurality of cylinders of different diameters from each other. A hollow portion is formed to penetrate the inside of the wheel portion 514. The wheel securing member 532 may be penetratingly coupled to the hollow portion.

The wheel portion 514 includes a wheel body portion 514a, a disk portion 514b, and a cart coupling portion 514 c.

The wheel body portion 514a forms the main body of the wheel portion 514. The outer circumferential surface of the wheel main body portion 514a is seated on the support portion 545 of the rail unit 540. The rotation of the wheel portion 514 is achieved by the relative rotation between the wheel body portion 514a and the support portion 545.

In the illustrated embodiment, the wheel main body portion 514a has a cylindrical shape having a circular cross section and a predetermined height. The height of the wheel body 514a, i.e., the length in the left-right direction, is preferably longer than the width of the support 545, i.e., the length in the left-right direction.

That is, if the wheel main body portion 514a is seated on the support portion 545, a portion of an outer side of the wheel main body portion 514a, i.e., a direction away from the extension portion 512 (i.e., a direction opposite to the extension portion 512), may be exposed to an outer side of the rail unit 540.

Thereby, the wheel part 514 may be stably seated on the rail unit 540.

The wheel securing member 532 is coupled to the outer side of the wheel main body portion 514a, i.e., the side in the direction away from the extending portion 512 (i.e., the direction opposite to the extending portion 512). Thus, the wheel portion 514 may be coupled with the extension portion 512.

In the illustrated embodiment, a rotary bearing member 620 is provided on the one side of the wheel main body portion 514a on the right side. The rotary bearing member 620 can rotate a stopper member 610, which will be described later, regardless of the rotation of the wheel portion 514. This will be described in detail later.

A disc portion 514b is formed inside the wheel body portion 514a, i.e., on the side facing the extension portion 512. The disk portion 514b is formed to protrude a predetermined length from the wheel body portion 514a toward the extension portion 512.

Disk portion 514b has a circular disk shape with a circular cross section and a predetermined height. The disk portion 514b is formed to have a diameter larger than that of the wheel body portion 514 a. The disc portion 514b may be received in the guide space portion 544a located lower than the upper end of the support portion 545.

The disk portion 514b is formed to have a predetermined thickness in the width direction of the stepped portion 544, i.e., between the rail extension 543 and the support portion 545. The thickness of the disc portion 514b may be formed to be smaller than the width of the step portion 544, i.e., the distance between the surfaces of the rail extension 543 and the support portion 545 facing each other.

Thus, the movement of the wheel portion 514 in the left-right direction, i.e., in a direction away from the extension portion 512 (i.e., in a direction opposite to the extension portion 512) can be restricted by the contact of the disk portion 514b and the support portion 545. Thus, the wheel portion 514 does not come off the rail unit 540 in a direction away from the extension portion 512 (i.e., in a direction opposite to the extension portion 512).

The outer peripheral surface of the disk portion 514b may be spaced apart from the upper end of the stepped portion 544 by a predetermined distance.

A cart coupling portion 514c is formed inside the disc portion 514b, i.e., on the side facing the extension portion 512. The cart coupling portion 514c is formed to protrude from the disc portion 514b toward the extension portion 512 by a predetermined length.

The cart coupling portion 514c has a circular disk shape having a circular cross section and a predetermined height. The cart coupling portion 514c is formed to have a diameter smaller than that of the wheel main body portion 514 a. A side surface of the cart coupling portion 514c facing the extension portion 512 may contact the extension portion 512.

The bracket unit 520 couples the capacitor assembly 100 and the valve assembly 200 to the cart unit 510. The bracket unit 520 is coupled to an upper side of the cart body 511. Specifically, a bracket coupling portion formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the cart main body portion 511 is formed in a recessed manner at the center in the left-right direction on the upper side of the cart main body portion 511.

The bracket unit 520 is coupled to the cart main body portion 511 by the bracket coupling portion. The bond may be a threaded bond or the like.

The stand unit 520 includes a horizontal portion 521 and a vertical portion 522. The horizontal portion 521 is formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the cart main body portion 511 at a predetermined angle to the cart main body portion 511. In one embodiment, the horizontal portion 521 may be parallel to the cart body portion 511.

The vertical portion 522 is formed to protrude from the horizontal portion 521 at a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal portion 521. In one embodiment, the prescribed angle may be a right angle.

A plurality of through holes are formed in the vertical portion 522 (see fig. 11). A fastening member (not shown) for fastening the housing unit 410 is inserted into and coupled to the through hole. Thus, the valve assembly 200 may be coupled to the valve cart unit 510 b.

Although not shown, a fastening member (not shown) for fastening the capacitor case body 110 of the capacitor assembly 100 to the vertical portion 522 may be provided. Thus, the capacitor assembly 100 may be coupled to the capacitor cart unit 510 a.

The fastening unit 530 fastens the respective constituent elements of the cart unit 510 to the cart main body 511. In an embodiment, the fastening unit 530 may be a screw member.

The fastening unit 530 includes a lever fastening member 531 and a wheel fastening member 532.

The lever fastening member 531 fastens the lever coupling member 720 of the installation separating portion 700 to the cart main body portion 511. In the illustrated embodiment, the lever fastening member 531 fastens the lever coupling member 720 located on the front side of the cart main body portion 511.

The lever fastening member 531 may have a plurality. The lever fastening members 531 may be disposed at a predetermined distance from each other in a width direction, i.e., a left-right direction, of the lever coupling member 720.

A wheel securing member 532 rotatably secures the wheel portion 514 to the extension portion 512. In the illustrated embodiment, the wheel securing member 532 is coupled through to the wheel portion 514 from an outboard direction of the wheel portion 514, i.e., a direction away from the extension portion 512 (i.e., a direction opposite the extension portion 512), toward a direction facing the extension portion 512. An inner side of the wheel securing member 532, i.e., one side end toward the extension part 512, may be rotatably secured to the extension part 512.

The wheel securing member 532 may have a plurality. This is because the wheel portion 514 has a plurality of wheels, as described above.

The rail unit 540 is configured to guide the cart unit 510 in the front-rear direction. The cart unit 510 is slidably coupled to the rail unit 540.

The rail unit 540 is formed to extend in one direction, i.e., the front-rear direction in the illustrated embodiment. This may correspond to the extension direction of the cart unit 510.

The rail unit 540 is preferably formed of a material having sufficient rigidity to support the capacitor assembly 100 and the valve assembly 200 having a large weight.

The rail unit 540 may have a plurality. Referring again to fig. 1, the rail unit 540 has six on the support 23. The plurality of rail units 540 are disposed at a predetermined distance from each other in the left-right direction. The number of the rail units 540 may be changed.

Blocking plates 640 of the separation preventing part 600 may be coupled to both longitudinal ends of the rail unit 540. The separation preventing part 600 can restrict the front and rear side movement of the cart unit 510 coupled to the rail unit 540. This prevents the cart unit 510 from being arbitrarily detached from the rail unit 540 and falling off.

In the illustrated embodiment, the rail unit 540 includes a rail main body portion 541, a rail bending portion 542, a rail extending portion 543, a step portion 544, and a supporting portion 545.

The rail body portion 541 forms a main body of the rail unit 540. The rail main body portion 541 is disposed opposite to the cart main body portion 511.

The rail body 541 may be disposed at a predetermined angle to the cart body 511. In an embodiment, the rail body portion 541 may be configured to be parallel with respect to the cart body portion 511.

The rail body portion 541 is formed to extend in one direction, i.e., the front-rear direction in the illustrated embodiment. The extension length of the rail body portion 541 is preferably longer than the sum of the extension lengths of the capacitor cart unit 510a and the valve cart unit 510 b.

A lever insertion groove 730 is formed recessed on one side of the rail body portion 541, i.e., the front side in the illustrated embodiment.

The rail bending portion 542 is formed to protrude toward the cart body portion 511 from the outer side of the rail body portion 541, i.e., each end portion in the left-right direction in the illustrated embodiment.

The rail curved portion 542 is a portion to which the arc-shaped portion 513 is slidably coupled. The rail curved portion 542 is formed to partially cover the upper side, which is the side facing the cart main body portion 511, of the arc portion 513. Thereby, the arc-shaped portion 513 coupled to the rail bending portion 542 is not separated in the upward direction.

That is, the cart unit 510 needs to be slid from the front side or the rear side to be coupled to the rail unit 540 due to the shapes of the rail curved portion 542 and the arc-shaped portion 513. Likewise, the cart unit 510 and the rail unit 540 are not arbitrarily separated due to the shapes of the rail bent portion 542 and the arc portion 513.

The rail bending portion 542 is formed to extend in one direction, i.e., the front-rear direction in the illustrated embodiment. The extension length of the rail bending portion 542 may be equal to the extension length of the rail body portion 541.

The rail bending portion 542 may be formed in plural. The plurality of rail bending portions 542 are arranged at a predetermined distance from each other. Each guide rail bending portion 542 is disposed adjacent to each arc-shaped portion 513.

Each guide bent portion 542 is located inside each arc portion 513, i.e., in the illustrated embodiment, in a direction toward the center portion of the guide main body portion 541 where the lever insertion groove 730 is formed.

Each guide rail bending portion 542 is formed to be convex toward a direction facing each other. In other words, each guide rail bending portion 542 is formed in an arc shape toward a direction away from the arc-shaped portion 513 (i.e., a direction opposite to the arc-shaped portion 513). In one embodiment, the guide rail bending part 542 may have a "C" shape whose section is convexly formed toward each other.

It is understood that the shape of the rail bending portion 542 corresponds to the shape of the arc portion 513.

Thereby, the rail bending portion 542 is formed to surround the lower side, the inner side (i.e., each side where the arc portions 513 face each other), and the upper side of the arc portion 513.

The rail bending portion 542 includes a first rail bending portion 542a, a second rail bending portion 542b, a third rail bending portion 542c, a side surface regulating portion 542d, and an upper surface regulating portion 542 e.

The first rail bending portion 542a is formed to protrude from one side end portion of the rail main body portion 541 toward the cart main body portion 511. Specifically, the first rail bending portion 542a is formed to protrude from an end portion where the rail body portion 541 and the rail extension portion 543 are connected.

The first guide rail curved portion 542a is formed to protrude toward the other first guide rail curved portion 542 a. In other words, the first rail curved portion 542a is formed in an arc shape toward a direction away from the arc-shaped portion 513 (i.e., a direction opposite to the arc-shaped portion 513).

The second rail curved portion 524b is formed to protrude from an end portion of the first rail curved portion 542a on the side toward the cart main body portion 511, i.e., an upper end portion in the illustrated embodiment.

The second rail curved portion 542b is formed to protrude toward the other second rail curved portion 542 b. In other words, the second rail curved portion 542b is formed in an arc shape toward a direction away from the arc-shaped portion 513 (i.e., a direction opposite to the arc-shaped portion 513). The degree to which the second rail bending portion 542b is bent may be determined according to the degree to which the first rail bending portion 542a is bent. In an embodiment, the second guide rail curved portion 542b may be curved with the same curvature as the first guide rail curved portion 542 a.

The third rail curved portion 542c is formed to protrude from an end portion of the second rail curved portion 542b on the side facing the cart main body portion 511, i.e., an upper end portion in the illustrated embodiment.

The third rail curved portion 542c is formed to protrude toward the cart main body portion 511. In other words, the third rail curved portion 542c is formed in an arc shape toward a direction away from the arc-shaped portion 513 (i.e., a direction opposite to the arc-shaped portion 513).

In an embodiment, the third rail bending part 542c may be formed to be protruded toward a central portion of the cart main body part 511 in the left-right direction. In the above-described embodiment, the third rail curved portion 542c is formed to protrude toward the inside direction of the upper side (i.e., the direction in which the rail curved portions 542 different from each other face each other).

The third rail curved part 542c may be formed to partially cover an upper side of the arc part 513. In an embodiment, the third rail curved part 542c may extend toward the extension part 512. That is, the end of the third rail curved portion 542c is positioned between the arc-shaped portion 513 and the cart main body portion 511.

The side surface restricting portion 542d is formed to protrude in the outer direction of the second rail bending portion 542b, i.e., in the direction of the arc portion 513.

The side surface restricting portion 542d is formed in an arc shape toward the outside direction, i.e., the direction facing the arc portion 513 in the illustrated embodiment. That is, the side surface restricting portion 542d is formed to protrude in a direction opposite to the first curved portion 542a or the second guide curved portion 542 b.

The side surface restricting portion 542d includes: a first portion extending toward the arc portion 513; a second portion continuous with the first portion and contacting or separating from the arc portion 513, forming a prescribed angle with the surface of the arc portion 513 and extending; and a third portion continuous with the second portion and extending away from the arc-shaped portion 513 (i.e., in a manner opposite the arc-shaped portion 513)

In an embodiment, the second portion of the side surface limiting portion 542d may extend in parallel with respect to a side surface of the arc portion 513 toward the guide rail bending portion 542.

In another embodiment, the second portion of the side surface limitation piece 542d, that is, a side surface of the side surface limitation piece 542d facing the arc-shaped portion 513 may be concavely formed in a direction away from the arc-shaped portion 513 (i.e., a direction opposite to the arc-shaped portion 513). In addition, the arc part 513 may be convexly formed toward the second portion of the side surface restriction part 542 d.

That is, the second portion of the side surface restricting portion 542d may be formed to be arc-shaped in the same direction as the arc-shaped portion 513.

The second portion of the side surface restricting portion 542d may contact a side surface of the arc-shaped portion 513 toward the guide rail bending portion 542. This can restrict the distance that the wheel portion 514 moves toward the rail curved portion 542.

The upper surface regulating portion 542e is formed to protrude from the outer side of the third rail curved portion 542c, i.e., in the direction of the arc portion 513. The upper surface restricting portion 542e is formed in an arc shape toward the outer direction.

That is, the upper surface restricting portion 542e is formed to protrude in a direction different from the third rail curved portion 542 c.

In an embodiment, a side surface of the upper surface restricting portion 542e opposite to the arc portion 513 may be concavely formed in a direction away from the arc portion 513 (i.e., a direction opposite to the arc portion 513). In addition, the arc portion 513 may be formed to protrude toward the one side surface of the upper surface restricting portion 542 e.

That is, the one-side surface of the upper surface restricting portion 542e may be formed in an arc shape in the same direction as the arc-shaped portion 513.

The upper surface restricting portion 542e may contact or be separated from one side surface of the extending portion 512 or the arc portion 513 toward the rail bending portion 542. This can restrict the distance that the wheel portion 514 moves upward from the rail unit 540.

The rail extending portions 543 extend from both horizontal side ends of each rail body portion 541, i.e., left or right side ends in the illustrated embodiment. The rail extension portion 543 is formed to extend at a predetermined angle to the rail body portion 541. In one embodiment, the rail extension 543 may extend parallel to the rail body portion 541.

The rail extending portion 543 may extend such that an end portion in the outer direction, i.e., in a direction away from the rail body portion 541 (i.e., in a direction opposite to the rail body portion 541), is positioned directly below the extending portion 512. That is, the end of the rail extending portion 543 in the outer direction is located further outward than the end of the third rail bending portion 542 c.

The rail extension 543 is formed to have a predetermined thickness. The upper side surface of the rail extending portion 543, i.e., the side surface facing the arc portion 513, is preferably not in contact with the arc portion 513. This is to prevent the rail extension 543 from being damaged by the movement of the cart unit 510.

The fastening hole 543a penetrates inside the rail extension 543. The fastening hole 543a is formed to penetrate in a direction in which the rail unit 540 extends, i.e., the front-rear direction in the illustrated embodiment.

The blocking fastening member 641 of the detachment prevention portion 600 is fastened to the fastening hole 543 a. In one embodiment, the blocking fastening member 641 may be screw-coupled with the fastening hole 543 a.

The stepped portion 544 is formed to extend from an outer end of the rail extending portion 543, i.e., one end in a direction away from the rail body portion 541 (i.e., in a direction opposite to the rail body portion 541). The step portion 544 extends at a predetermined angle to the rail extension portion 543. In one embodiment, the step 544 may extend parallel to the rail extension 543.

The stepped portion 544 may extend to be located directly below the disk portion 514b of the wheel portion 514. A side surface of the stepped portion 544 facing the disk portion 514b, i.e., an upper side surface in the illustrated embodiment, is spaced apart from the outer peripheral surface of the disk portion 514b by a predetermined distance.

That is, when the wheel portion 514 rotates, the upper side surface of the stepped portion 544 does not contact the disk portion 514 b. Thus, even if the wheel portion 514 rotates, the step portion 544 is not damaged.

An end of the step portion 544 in the outer direction, i.e., an end in a direction away from the rail extension 543 (i.e., a direction opposite to the rail extension 543) may extend to be located on the lower side of the wheel body portion 514 a. That is, the end of the step portion 544 is located further outward than the disk portion 514b, that is, further away from the rail extension 543 (i.e., further opposite to the rail extension 543).

The step part 544 is formed to be lower than the height of the rail extension 543. That is, the shortest distance between the upper side surface of the stepped portion 544 and the cart main body portion 511 is longer than the shortest distance between the upper side surface of the rail extension 543 and the cart main body portion 511.

In other words, the shortest distance between the capacitor assembly 100 or the valve assembly 200 and the upper side surface of the step part 544 is longer than the shortest distance between the capacitor assembly 100 or the valve assembly 200 and the upper side surface of the rail extension 543.

In addition, the step portion 544 is formed to be lower than the height of the support portion 545. That is, the shortest distance between the upper side surface of the step part 544 and the cart main body 511 is longer than the shortest distance between the upper side surface of the support part 545 and the cart main body 511.

In other words, the shortest distance between the capacitor assembly 100 or the valve assembly 200 and the upper side surface of the step part 544 is longer than the shortest distance between the capacitor assembly 100 or the valve assembly 200 and the upper side surface of the support part 545.

Therefore, a space surrounded by the surfaces of the rail extension 543 and the support portion 545 facing each other is formed on the upper side of the step portion 544. The space is defined as a guide space portion 544 a.

The guide space portion 544a is a space into which the disk portion 514b of the wheel portion 514 is inserted. The guide space portion 544a restricts the movement distance of the disc portion 514b in the left-right direction so that the wheel portion 514 can rotate in a state of being seated on the support portion 545.

At this time, the length in the width direction of the guide space portion 544a (the length in the left-right direction in the illustrated embodiment) is formed to be larger than the thickness of the disk portion 514 b. In other words, the length of the step portion 544 extending between the rail extension 543 and the support portion 545 is formed longer than the width of the disc portion 514 b.

Therefore, the disk portion 514b can move in a direction facing the rail extension 543 or the support portion 545 in a state of being inserted into the guide space portion 544 a.

At this time, as described above, the guide space portion 544a is defined by the upper side surface of the step portion 544 and the surfaces of the rail extension 543 and the support portion 545 facing each other.

That is, a space in the inner direction of the guide space portion 544a, that is, in the direction of the rail bending portion 542 is partitioned by a surface in the outer direction of the rail extending portion 543, that is, in the direction of the step portion 544.

Further, a space in the outer direction of the guide space portion 544a, i.e., in the direction of the support portion 545, is divided by a surface in the inner direction of the support portion 545, i.e., in the direction of the step portion 544.

Therefore, the moving distance in the inner direction of the disk portion 514b inserted into the guide space portion 544a is limited by the surface in the outer direction of the rail extension 543. Further, the movement distance of the disc portion 514b in the outer direction is limited by the surface of the support portion 545 in the inner direction.

Accordingly, the wheel portion 514 does not come off in the inside or outside direction of the rail unit 540, i.e., the left-right direction in the illustrated embodiment.

The support portion 545 supports the wheel body portion 514a of the wheel portion 514. The wheel body 514a is mounted on the support portion 545. The upper side surface of the support portion 545 may contact the outer circumferential surface of the wheel main body portion 514 a.

The support portion 545 is formed to extend from an end of the step portion 544 in the outer direction, that is, an end in a direction away from the rail extension portion 543 (i.e., in a direction opposite to the rail extension portion 543). The support portion 545 may extend such that the end in the outboard direction is located directly below the wheel main body portion 514 a.

The upper side surface of the support portion 545, i.e., the surface contacting the wheel main body portion 514a, may be formed as a flat surface.

Thereby, the support portion 545 may stably support the load of the cart unit 510 and the capacitor assembly 100 and the valve assembly 200 mounted thereto. Further, the wheel portion 514 can move stably when the upper side surface of the support portion 545 rolls.

The supporting portion 545 is formed higher than the height of the step portion 544. That is, the shortest distance between the upper side surface of the support portion 545 and the cart main body portion 511 is shorter than the shortest distance between the upper side surface of the step portion 544 and the cart main body portion 511.

The difference between the height of the support portion 545 and the height of the step portion 544 may be determined according to the difference between the diameter of the wheel body portion 514a and the diameter of the disk portion 514 b. That is, the difference between the height of the support portion 545 and the height of the step portion 544 may be determined to be larger than the difference between the diameter of the wheel body portion 514a and the diameter of the disk portion 514 b.

Thus, even if the wheel body portion 514a is seated on the support portion 545, the disk portion 514b does not contact the step portion 544.

The supporting portion 545 is formed to be lower than the height of the rail extension 543. That is, the shortest distance between the upper side surface of the support portion 545 and the cart main body 511 is longer than the shortest distance between the upper side surface of the rail extension 543 and the cart main body 511.

In other words, the shortest distance between the capacitor assembly 100 or the valve assembly 200 and the upper side surface of the supporting portion 545 is longer than the shortest distance between the capacitor assembly 100 or the valve assembly 200 and the upper side surface of the rail extension 543.

As described above, the cart unit 510 is formed with the arc portion 513. When the cart unit 510 is slidably coupled to the rail unit 540, the lower side, the inner side (the direction in which the respective arc portions 513 face each other), and the upper side of the arc portions 513 are surrounded by the rail bent portion 542 of the rail unit 540.

Therefore, the cart unit 510 is not separated from the rail unit 540 in an upper direction.

In addition, the rail unit 540 is formed with a guide space portion 544a which is a space surrounded by the rail extending portion 543, the step portion 544, and the support portion 545. The disk portion 514b of the wheel portion 514 is inserted into the guide space portion 544 a.

Therefore, the movement distance of the wheel portion 514 in the direction away from the guide curved portion 542 (i.e., the direction opposite to the guide curved portion 542) or the direction facing the guide curved portion 542 is restricted. Thus, the cart unit 510 does not come off from the rail unit 540 in the left or right direction.

7. Description of detachment prevention part 600 of embodiment of the present invention

The sub-module 10 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a detachment prevention portion 600. The detachment prevention part 600 prevents the cart unit 510 slidably coupled to the rail unit 540 from being arbitrarily detached.

Hereinafter, the separation preventing portion 600 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 13 to 16.

In the illustrated embodiment, the detachment prevention part 600 includes a stopper (stopper) member 610, a rotational bearing member 620, an elastic member 630, a blocking plate 640, and a stopper groove 650.

The stopper member 610 limits the distance the cart unit 510 moves to the front side. Due to the stopper member 610, the cart unit 510 is not arbitrarily separated from the rail unit 540 by the front side of the rail unit 540.

The stopper member 610 may be provided at least one of the left and right wheel portions 514 of the cart unit 510. In the illustrated embodiment, the stop member 610 is provided to the left wheel portion 514 of the cart unit 510. Alternatively, the stopper member 610 may be provided to the right wheel portion 514 of the cart unit 510.

In addition, the stopper member 610 may have a plurality and be provided to the left and right wheel portions 514, respectively.

The stop member 610 is rotatably coupled to the wheel portion 514. The stop member 610 may not rotate regardless of the rotation of the wheel portion 514. Similarly, the stop member 610 may rotate regardless of the stopped state of the wheel portion 514.

The stopper member 610 is inserted into a stopper groove 650 formed at the rail unit 540. The side of the stop member 610 that is inserted, i.e., the front side in the illustrated embodiment, contacts the first face 651 of the stop slot 650. Thereby, the stopper member 610 and the cart unit 510 connected to the stopper member 610 are prevented from further moving to the front side.

The stopper member 610 may move on the upper portion of the support 545. Specifically, the stopper member 610 can move together with the cart unit 510 in a state of contacting the upper surface of the support portion 545.

The stopper member 610 is connected with the elastic member 630. The elastic member 630 provides an elastic force to maintain the state in which the one side of the stopping member 610 is in contact with the supporting portion 545. The stopper member 610 may be formed of a material having high rigidity. In an embodiment, the stop member 610 may be formed of an iron (Fe) material.

The stopper member 610 includes a stopper body portion 611, a locking plate 612, a wheel coupling portion 613, and an elastic member coupling hole 614.

The stopper main portion 611 is formed to extend in one direction. In an embodiment, the stopper main body portion 611 may be formed to extend in the same direction as the supporting portion 545.

A lock plate 612 is formed on one side of the stopper body 611, i.e., the front side end in the illustrated embodiment. The wheel coupling portion 613 is formed to penetrate through a central portion of the stopper main body portion 611. The elastic member coupling hole 614 is formed to penetrate the other side of the stopper body portion 611, i.e., the rear side in the illustrated embodiment.

The stopper body 611 is disposed such that a front end thereof faces downward and a rear end thereof faces upward. This is because the elastic member 630 coupled to the elastic member coupling hole 614 pulls the rear side end portion of the stopper main body portion 611 in the counterclockwise direction in the embodiment of fig. 15.

Thus, the front end of the stopper body 611 can be kept in contact with the upper surface of the support 545.

A lock plate 612 is provided at the front end of the stopper body 611.

The locking plate 612 is a portion of the stopper member 610 contacting each face of the stopper groove 650. When the lock plate 612 comes into contact with the first face 651 or the second face 652 of the stop groove 650, the cart unit 510 does not move forward any more.

The lock plate 612 is formed to extend from the front end of the stopper body 611. The locking plate 612 may be formed to extend at a predetermined angle from the stopper body portion 611. In an embodiment, the locking plate 612 may be formed to extend perpendicularly with respect to the stopper body portion 611.

In the illustrated embodiment, the lock plate 612 is formed to protrude a predetermined distance from the front end of the stopper body 611 toward the inner side, i.e., toward the arc portion 513. In an embodiment, the locking plate 612 may be formed to extend such that one side end portion toward the inner direction is located at an upper side of the step portion 544.

When the stopper body portion 611 is inserted into the stopper groove 650, the locking plate 612 comes into contact with the first face 651 or the second face 652. Thereby, the cart unit 510 to which the stopper member 610 is rotatably coupled is no longer moved to the front side.

The wheel securing member 532 is secured to the wheel engaging portion 613. The stopper member 610 is rotatably coupled to the cart unit 510 by the wheel fastening member 532.

The wheel coupling portion 613 may be formed through the stopper main body portion 611. The center of the wheel coupling portion 613 may be formed coaxially with the center of the wheel portion 514.

The elastic member coupling hole 614 is located at a rear side of the stopper main body portion 611, i.e., a side in a direction away from the stop groove 650 (i.e., a direction opposite to the stop groove 650) in the illustrated embodiment. The elastic member coupling hole 614 may be biased toward the upper side of the stopper main body portion 611.

One side end portion of the elastic member 630 is coupled to the elastic member coupling hole 614. The one-side end of the elastic member 630 may be rotated in a state of being inserted into the elastic member coupling hole 614.

The rotational bearing member 620 is coupled to the wheel portion 514 to maintain a stopped state of the stopper member 610 regardless of rotation of the wheel portion 514 or to enable rotation of the stopper member 610. The rotational bearing member 620 is located between the stop member 610 and the wheel portion 514.

The elastic member 630 applies an elastic force to the stopper member 610. The elastic member 630 applies an elastic force in the direction of the cart main body 511 to the rear side end portion of the stopper member 610. In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic member 630 applies an elastic force in a counterclockwise direction to the stopper member 610.

Thus, the rear end of the stopper member 610 can be kept in a state of being pulled upward in the direction facing the cart main body portion 511 in the illustrated embodiment.

The elastic member 630 may be provided in any form that is deformed in shape and capable of storing restoring force. In one embodiment, the elastic member 630 may be a coil spring (coil spring).

The elastic member 630 includes a cart coupling portion 631 and a stopper coupling portion 632. In an embodiment, the cart coupling part 631 and the stopper coupling part 632 may have a hook (hook) shape.

The cart connecting portion 631 is located at a front side end portion of the elastic member 630. The cart connecting portion 631 is connected to the elastic member coupling portion 511 a.

The stopper link 632 is located at the rear side end of the elastic member 630. The stopper link 632 is rotatably coupled to the elastic member coupling hole 614.

Thereby, the elastic member 630 is extended or contracted between the elastic member coupling portion 511a and the elastic member coupling hole 614.

The stopper member 610 can maintain a state in which the front end portion is biased downward and the rear end portion is biased upward by the elastic member 630.

In addition, when the stopper member 610 enters the stopper groove 650, the elastic member 630 applies a restoring force in a counterclockwise direction to the stopper member 610. Thus, when the stopper member 610 is separated from the stopper groove 650, the front end of the stopper member 610 can be restored to the state of being in contact with the upper surface of the support portion 545.

The blocking plate 640 closes the front side of the rail unit 540. In addition, the blocking plate 640 may close the rear side of the rail unit 540 (refer to fig. 20a and 20 b). The blocking plate 640 may be provided to prevent the cart unit 510 from being arbitrarily detached from the rail unit 540 when the sub-module 10 needs to be moved.

The blocking plate 640 may be coupled to the rail unit 540 to block a portion of the rail body portion 541, the rail extension 543, and the step portion 544. In addition, a blocking plate 640 may be coupled to the cart unit 510 to block a portion of the arc part 513.

The blocking plate 640 may be coupled to the cart unit 510 and the rail unit 540 by a blocking fastening member 641. In an embodiment, the blocking fastening member 641 may be a screw member.

The blocking fastening member 641 may have a plurality. In the illustrated embodiment, the blocking fastening member 641 has four. The blocking fastening member 641 may be fastened to the cart hollow 513a and the fastening hole 543 a.

The front side end of the stopper member 610 is inserted into the stopper groove 650. Specifically, the lock plate 612 and the front side end of the stopper body 611 connected to the lock plate 612 are inserted into the stop groove 650.

The stopping groove 650 is formed at the supporting portion 545. Specifically, the stopping groove 650 is formed on the front side of the supporting portion 545.

The position of the stopper groove 650 is preferably formed at a position capable of preventing the cart unit 510 from being arbitrarily detached from the rail unit 540 when the front end portion of the stopper member 610 is inserted.

In an embodiment, the stop groove 650 may be formed at a position where the front side end portion of the cart unit 510 and the front side end portion of the rail unit 540 are located on the same vertical line when the lock plate 612 and the first face 651 of the stop groove 650 are in contact.

The stop groove 650 may be formed in plural. The plurality of stopping grooves 650 are disposed at a predetermined distance from each other in the front-rear direction, i.e., the direction in which the rail unit 540 extends.

The stopping groove 650 formed at the front side among the plurality of stopping grooves 650 may limit the moving distance of the valve cart unit 510 b. In addition, the stopping groove 650 formed at the rear side among the plurality of stopping grooves 650 may limit the moving distance of the capacitor cart unit 510 a.

The stopping groove 650 is formed by being recessed from the upper surface of the supporting portion 545 by a predetermined length. The degree of the recess of the stopping groove 650 may be differently formed along the length direction of the supporting portion 545.

In the illustrated embodiment, the stopping groove 650 is formed such that the rear side inclination is gentler than the front side inclination. Therefore, the stopper member 610 moving together with the cart unit 510 may be inclined into the stopper groove 650 along the rear side. Further, the stopper member 610 that has entered cannot move further forward because of its forward side.

The stop slot 650 includes a first face 651 and a second face 652.

The first face 651 is a portion that contacts the locking plate 612 of the stopper member 610 inserted into the stop groove 650. The first face 651 may be defined as a face on the front side of the stop groove 650 formed recessed from the upper side of the supporting portion 545.

In other words, the first surface 651 is disposed adjacent to one side in the direction in which the rail unit 540 extends, i.e., the front side end portion in the illustrated embodiment. The first face 651 is formed to surround the one side of the stop groove 650, i.e., the front side in the illustrated embodiment.

The first face 651 is extended at a predetermined angle from the upper side surface of the supporting portion 545. The predetermined angle may be formed to be greater than an angle formed by the second face 652 and the upper side face of the support 545. In one embodiment, the prescribed angle may be a right angle.

The rear side end of the first surface 651 is continuous with the front side end of the second surface 652.

The second face 652 is a portion through which the lock plate 612 of the stopper member 610 passes during movement toward the first face 651. The lock plate 612 can move toward the first surface 651 with its lower end portion in contact with the second surface 652.

The second surface 652 may be defined as a surface on the rear side of the stop groove 650 concavely formed from the upper side surface of the support 545. The first face 651 and the second face 652 are continuous.

In other words, the second surface 652 extends toward one side of the direction in which the rail unit 540 extends, that is, a direction away from the front side end portion in the illustrated embodiment (i.e., a direction opposite to the front side end portion). That is, the second surface 652 is disposed farther from the one-side (i.e., front-side) end of the rail unit 540 than the first surface 651. That is, the second surface 652 is located on the rear side of the first surface 651.

The second surface 652 extends at a predetermined angle from the upper surface of the support 545. The predetermined angle may be formed smaller than an angle formed by the first face 651 and an upper side surface of the supporting portion 545. In one embodiment, the prescribed angle may be an acute angle.

The rear side end of the second surface 652 extends from the upper surface of the support 545.

Accordingly, the lock plate 612 can move to the front side or the rear side along the second surface 652. On the other hand, when the lock plate 612 comes into contact with the first surface 651, the lock plate 612 does not move forward any more.

Thereby, the stopper member 610 and the front side moving distance of the cart unit 510 to which the stopper member 610 is rotatably connected can be restricted.

As described above, the front side end of the stopper member 610 moves forward or rearward together with the cart unit 510 in a state of being in contact with the upper side surface of the support portion 545. When the front end of the stopper member 610 reaches the stopper groove 650, the front end of the stopper member 610 rotates and moves downward along the second surface 652.

When the front end of the stopper member 610 contacts the first surface 651, the stopper member 610 does not move forward any more due to the shape of the first surface 651. Thereby, the cart unit 510 connected to the stopper member 610 does not move forward. Therefore, the front side moving distance of the cart unit 510 can be restricted.

In this case, it is considered that the sub-module 10 needs to be pulled out from the frame 20 for maintenance or the like. The capacitor assembly 100 and the valve assembly 200 constituting the sub-module 10 are mounted to the cart unit 510. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a process of separating the cart unit 510 from the rail unit 540 first.

As described above, when the front side end of the stopper member 610 contacts the first surface 651 of the stopper groove 650, the stopper member 610 does not move forward any more.

Accordingly, the stopper member 610 is rotated by a pressing operation, thereby being disengaged from the stopper groove 650.

Specifically, the end of the pressing operation stopper member 610 that is not in contact with the first surface 651 is the rear end in the illustrated embodiment. As a result, the end of the stopper member 610 that contacts the first surface 651, i.e., the front side end, rotates in a direction away from the first surface 651 (i.e., in a direction opposite to the first surface 651), i.e., in a clockwise direction in the illustrated embodiment, and is disengaged from the stopper groove 650.

Next, the cart unit 510 slides toward one end of the rail unit 540, i.e., the front end in the illustrated embodiment, by an external force.

At this time, the end of the rail unit 540 is in a state of being closed by the blocking plate 640. Therefore, if the fastening of the blocking fastening member 641 is released, the blocking plate 640 is separated from the rail unit 540.

Next, the cart unit 510 can be separated from the rail unit 540 by the mounting and separating unit 700 described later.

Therefore, the cart unit 510 is not arbitrarily separated from the rail unit 540. Thereby, a safety accident caused by any detachment of the cart unit 510 can be prevented.

Conversely, when the stopper member 610 moves rearward, the front end of the stopper member 610 moves rearward while contacting the second surface 652. As described above, the second face 652 may form an acute angle with the upper side of the support 545. The rear end of the second surface 652 is continuous with the upper surface of the support 545.

Therefore, the stopper member 610 can be easily moved when moving to the rear side, unlike the case of moving to the front side.

Further, blocking plates 640 may be provided at the front side end and the rear side end of the rail unit 540. The blocking plate 640 is fastened to the cart unit 510 and the rail unit 540, respectively. Thereby, the front and rear sides of the cart unit 510 are blocked by the blocking plate 640.

Therefore, the cart unit 510 is not arbitrarily detached from the rail unit 540 by the blocking plate 640. This may be applicable to situations where the sub-module 10 is moving or where it is desirable to limit the movement of the cart unit 510.

8. Description of mount-detach section 700 of embodiment of the present invention

The sub-module 10 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a mounting separation part 700. By installing the separation part 700, the cart unit 510 in which the capacitor module 100 or the valve module 200 is disposed can be easily coupled with or decoupled from the rail unit 540.

Hereinafter, the mounting-detaching portion 700 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 17 and 18.

In the illustrated embodiment, the installation separating portion 700 includes a lever member 710, a lever coupling member 720, and a lever insertion groove 730.

The lever member 710 is inserted and coupled to the lever coupling member 720 and the lever insertion groove 730. The user can easily couple the cart unit 510 to the rail unit 540 using the lever member 710. In addition, the user can easily detach the cart unit 510 from the rail unit 540 using the lever member 710.

The lever member 710 may function as a lever (lever). That is, the lever member 710 may pull the lever coupling member 720 to the front side or push it to the rear side with the lever insertion groove 730 as an axis.

The lever member 710 may be provided with the sub-module 10. For this, a member (not shown) for mounting the lever member 710 may be provided at the frame 20.

The lever member 710 may be provided separately from the sub-module 10. In case it is desired to separate the sub-module 10 from the frame 20, the user may separate the sub-module 10 by means of the lever member 710.

The lever member 710 includes an extension portion 711 and a grip portion 712.

The extension 711 is a portion combined with the lever coupling member 720 and the lever insertion groove 730. The extension portion 711 is formed to extend from one side end portion of the handle portion 712.

The extension 711 may be formed of a material having high rigidity. In one embodiment, the extension 711 may be formed of a ferrous material.

The extension part 711 includes a first extension part 711a and a second extension part 711 b.

The first extension 711a is a portion directly coupled with the lever coupling member 720 and the lever insertion groove 730. One end of the first extension 711a is connected to the second extension 711 b.

The second extension part 711b is located between the first extension part 711a and the handle part 712. The second extension portion 711b is connected to the first extension portion 711a and the handle portion 712, respectively.

The second extension 711b extends at a predetermined angle to the first extension 711 a. In one embodiment, the prescribed angle may be a right angle.

The second extension 711b extends at a predetermined angle from the grip 712. In an embodiment, the second extension part 711b may extend parallel to the handle part 712. The central axis in the direction in which the second extension 711b extends and the central axis in the direction in which the handle 712 extends may be the same.

The grip portion 712 is a portion where the user grips the lever member 710. The handle portion 712 is formed extending from one side of the second extending portion 711b in a direction away from the first extending portion 711a (i.e., in a direction opposite to the first extending portion 711 a). The handle portion 712 is continuous with the second extension portion 711 b.

The handle portion 712 extends a predetermined distance in a direction away from the second extension portion 711b (i.e., in a direction opposite to the second extension portion 711 b). In an embodiment, the extension length of the handle part 712 may be equal to that of the second extension part 711 b.

A handle member may be provided on an outer circumferential surface of the grip portion 712 for user convenience. The handle member is configured to increase friction between the grip portion 712 and the palm of the hand holding the grip portion 712. In one embodiment, the handle member may be formed of a rubber (rubber) material.

The lever member 710 is coupled to the lever coupling member 720. The user can move the lever coupling member 720 and the cart unit 510 coupled to the lever coupling member 720 to the front side or the rear side by pushing and pulling the lever member 710.

The lever coupling member 720 is coupled with the cart unit 510. Specifically, the lever coupling member 720 is located on the lower side of the front side of the cart main body portion 511. The lever coupling member 720 may be fastened to the cart main body portion 511 by a lever fastening member 531 (refer to fig. 13).

The lever coupling member 720 is formed to be protruded by a predetermined distance toward a direction away from the cart unit 510 (i.e., a direction opposite to the cart unit 510), i.e., a front side in the illustrated embodiment. Through the protrusion, the user can easily recognize the lever coupling member 720.

The lever coupling member 720 may be formed of a material having high rigidity. In an embodiment, the lever coupling member 720 may be formed of an iron material. Thereby, even if a pressure of the lever member 710 formed of a material having rigidity is received, it is possible to minimize the shape deformation of the lever coupling member 720.

The lever coupling member 720 includes a lever insertion slot 721.

The lever insertion slot 721 is formed through the inside of the lever coupling member 720. The first extension 711a of the lever member 710 is inserted through the lever insertion groove 721. The first extension part 711a may extend through the lever insertion groove 721 to the lever insertion groove 730.

In the illustrated embodiment, the lever insertion groove 721 is formed to have a quadrangular cross section. This is because a region where the first extension 711a contacts the lever coupling member 720 is a plane. The shape of the lever insertion groove 721 may be changed corresponding to the shape of the first extension part 711 a.

The length of the lever insertion groove 721 in the front-rear direction is preferably formed longer than the thickness of the first extension 711 a. Thus, the first extension part 711a may be inserted into the first lever insertion groove 731 or the second lever insertion groove 732 while penetrating the lever insertion groove 721.

The center of the lever insertion groove 721 may be located on the same plane or the same line as the centers of the first and second

lever insertion grooves

731 and 732.

The lever insertion groove 730 is a space into which an end portion of the first extension portion 711a penetrating the lever insertion groove 721 is inserted. When the user pushes and pulls the handle part 712 in a state where the end of the first extension part 711a is inserted into the lever insertion groove 730, the cart unit 510 can move to the front side or the rear side.

The lever insertion groove 730 is formed in the rail body portion 541. Specifically, the lever insertion groove 730 is formed by being recessed a predetermined distance from the front side of the upper side surface of the rail body 541.

The lever insertion groove 730 may be formed in plural. In the illustrated embodiment, two lever insertion grooves 730 are formed. Of the two lever insertion grooves 730, the lever insertion groove 730 formed at the front side may be defined as a first lever insertion groove 731, and the lever insertion groove 730 formed at the rear side may be defined as a second lever insertion groove 732.

The first lever insertion groove 731 is located on the front side of the rail body 541. Specifically, the first lever insertion groove 731 is located at the front side end portion of the rail main body portion 541. That is, the first lever insertion groove 731 is formed by being recessed a predetermined distance from the upper surface and the front surface of the rail body 541.

The end of the first extension 711a is inserted into and coupled to the first lever insertion groove 731. The end of the first extending portion 711a is in contact with the rear side of the first lever insertion groove 731, that is, the surface in the direction away from the open side of the rail body 541 (i.e., the direction opposite to the open side).

In addition, the inserted end of the first extension part 711a is also in contact with the lower side surface of the first lever insertion groove 731. The lever member 710 may function as a lever with the face as a "fulcrum".

The lever member 710 may be rotated in a counterclockwise direction, i.e., a direction in which the grip portion 712 is spaced apart from the cart unit 510 (i.e., a direction opposite to the cart unit 510) in a state of being inserted into the first lever insertion groove 731. Thereby, the first extension 711a is in contact with the front side end of the cart unit 510 or the end of the lever coupling member 720 located on the rear side of the lever insertion slot 721.

The end of the cart unit 510 or the end of the lever coupling member 720 may function as a "point of action". That is, a portion to which a force applied to the lever member 710 acts. It will be appreciated that the handle portion 712 functions as a "point of force".

A second lever insertion groove 732 is formed at a rear side of the first lever insertion groove 731.

The second lever insertion groove 732 is located on the front side of the rail body 541. Specifically, the second lever insertion groove 732 is formed at a predetermined distance to the rear side from the first lever insertion groove 731 formed at the front side end of the rail body 541. The second lever insertion groove 732 is formed to be recessed from the upper side surface of the rail body 541 by a predetermined distance.

The end of the first extension 711a is inserted into and coupled to the second lever insertion groove 732. The end of the first extension part 711a is in contact with the rear side of the second lever insertion groove 732, i.e., the surface in the direction away from the first lever insertion groove 731 (i.e., the direction opposite to the first lever insertion groove 731).

In addition, the inserted end of the first extension part 711a is also in contact with the lower surface of the second lever insertion groove 732. The lever member 710 may function as a lever with the face as a "fulcrum".

The lever member 710 may press the cart unit 510 in a state of being coupled with the lever coupling member 720 and the lever insertion groove 730, respectively. That is, the lever member 710 may press the cart unit 510 toward one direction of the direction in which the rail unit 540 extends, i.e., the front side, or toward the other direction of the direction in which the rail unit 540 extends, i.e., the rear side.

Specifically, the lever member 710 is rotatable in a clockwise direction, that is, in a direction in which the handle portion 712 approaches the cart unit 510, in a state of being inserted into the second lever insertion groove 732. Thereby, the second extension 711b contacts a front end of the cart unit 510 or a rear end of the lever coupling member 720 disposed in the lever insertion slot 721.

As described above, the extension part 711 of the lever member 710 may penetrate the lever insertion groove 721 combined to the lever coupling member 720. In addition, the end of the first extension part 711a may be inserted into the first lever insertion groove 731 or the second lever insertion groove 732.

A state in which the lever member 710 is inserted into the first lever insertion groove 731 in order to pull out the cart unit 510 and the capacitor assembly 100 or the valve assembly 200 seated on the cart unit 510 from the rail unit 540 is shown in fig. 17.

When the user rotates the grip portion 712 in a counterclockwise direction, which is a direction away from the cart unit 510 (i.e., a direction opposite to the cart unit 510), the front side surface of the first extension portion 711a presses the end portion located on the front side of the lever insertion groove 721.

Thereby, the cart unit 510 connected to the lever coupling member 720 moves to the front side, so that the cart unit 510 can slide and be detached from the rail unit 540. It will be appreciated that the stop member 610 needs to be disengaged from the stop slot 650 prior to performing the procedure.

A state in which the lever member 710 is inserted into the second lever insertion groove 732 in order to couple the cart unit 510 and the capacitor assembly 100 or the valve assembly 200 mounted to the cart unit 510 to the rail unit 540 is shown in fig. 18.

When the user rotates the handle portion 712 clockwise in a direction approaching the cart unit 510, the rear surface of the first extension portion 711a presses the end of the lever insertion slot 721 located on the rear side.

Thereby, the cart unit 510 connected with the lever coupling member 720 is moved to the rear side, so that the cart unit 510 can be slid and coupled to the rail unit 540.

Accordingly, the coupling and decoupling process between the cart unit 510 and the rail unit 540 having a large weight can be easily performed.

9. Description of the short-circuit adjustment unit 800 according to the embodiment of the present invention

The sub-module 10 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a short circuit adjustment portion 800. The short-circuit adjustment unit 800 is configured to allow the capacitor elements (not shown) housed in the plurality of capacitor modules 100 to be simultaneously short-circuited or grounded by a simple operation.

The short-circuit adjustment unit 800 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 19 to 21. In the illustrated embodiment, the short circuit adjustment portion 800 is provided to the frame 20. Therefore, the short circuit adjustment unit 800 may be regarded as being included in the frame 20.

However, since the short circuit adjustment unit 800 functions to short-circuit the plurality of sub-modules 10, it is assumed that the short circuit adjustment unit 800 is included in the sub-modules 10 in the following description.

In the illustrated embodiment, the short circuit adjustment part 800 includes a moving member 810, a short circuit block 820, a variable connector 830, a link member 840, and an indication member 850.

The moving member 810 is configured to move the plurality of variable connectors 830 at the same time.

The moving member 810 is slidably coupled to the frame 20. Specifically, the moving member 810 is slidably coupled to a rear surface of the support 23 located at the rearmost side.

The moving member 810 is connected with the variable connector 830. If the moving member 810 slides, the variable connector 830 may also slide together with the moving member 810.

The moving member 810 is connected with the link member 840. The moving member 810 may slide in a left or right direction as the link member 840 moves.

The moving member 810 is formed to extend in one direction. In the illustrated embodiment, the moving member 810 is formed to extend in the left-right direction as well as the extending direction of the support portion 23. The extension length of the moving member 810 may be formed shorter than that of the support 23.

The moving member 810 includes an extended body portion 811 and an end insertion groove 812.

The extension body portion 811 forms a body of the moving member 810. The extension body 811 is formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the moving member 810.

The extension body part 811 may be inserted between the grooves formed in the short circuit block 820. That is, in the illustrated embodiment, the extended body 811 is inserted into a groove formed in the center of the short-circuit blocks 820 disposed at a predetermined distance from each other in the longitudinal direction.

Thus, the extension body 811 is positioned between the moving member support 822 of the short circuit block 820. The extension body 811 is configured to cover a portion of the short circuit block 820 located between the moving member supports 822.

The extension body portion 811 may be moved in the left or right direction in a state of being inserted into the groove. The movement is achieved by moving member supports 822 provided at upper and lower sides of the short block 820.

The end insertion groove 812 is formed through the extended body 811. A fastening member is provided on the extended body portion 811 adjacent to the end of the end insertion slot 812. The fastening member fastens the variable connector 830 to the extension body portion 811.

Both longitudinal end portions of the variable connector 830 are inserted into the end insertion grooves 812. The both side end portions of the variable connector 830 inserted into the end insertion groove 812 may penetrate the end insertion groove 812 and contact the portion of the short circuit block 820.

The short circuit block 820 may be contacted or separated with the sliding of the moving member 810.

The end insertion groove 812 is formed through the extended body 811. The end insertion groove 812 is formed to extend a predetermined length in the direction in which the extension body 811 extends.

The predetermined length of the end insertion groove 812 may be longer than the length of the short circuit block 820 in the width direction, i.e., the left-right direction. Thus, the end of the variable connector 830 penetrating to the end insertion groove 812 may be contacted or separated from the short circuit block 820.

The end insertion groove 812 may be formed in plural. The end insertion grooves 812 are formed to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance. The prescribed distance may be formed shorter than the distance by which the short circuit blocks 820 are spaced apart from each other.

The variable connector 830 partially penetrates the end insertion groove 812. Specifically, the first connector end 831 and the second connector end 832 of the variable connector 830 are respectively formed to penetrate through the end insertion groove 812.

In other words, the first and second connector ends 831 and 832 may penetrate the end insertion slot 812 and contact or separate from the shorting block 820.

The shorting block 820 and the variable connector 830 may be electrically contacted or separated.

In the case where only one end of the variable connector 830 is in contact with the shorting block 820, voltages of the respective sub modules 10 may be maintained different from each other. In the case where both side ends of the variable connector 830 are in contact with the shorting block 820, the respective sub-modules 10 are shorted with each other, so that voltages of the respective sub-modules 10 may be changed to be identical to each other.

The shorting block 820 may be formed of a conductive material. In an embodiment, the shorting block 820 may be formed of an aluminum (Al) or iron (Fe) material.

The shorting block 820 is formed to extend in one direction. In the illustrated embodiment, the shorting block 820 is formed to extend in the up and down direction. That is, the short circuit block 820 and the moving member 810 are formed to extend to form a predetermined angle with each other.

Moving member supports 822 are provided at upper and lower sides of the short circuit block 820. A space into which the extension body portion 811 is inserted is formed between the moving member supporting portions 822.

A contact portion 823 formed to protrude in a direction away from the support portion 23 (i.e., in a direction opposite to the support portion 23) is formed in the space.

The shorting block 820 has a plurality. The plurality of short circuit blocks 820 are arranged at a predetermined distance from each other. The prescribed distance may be formed longer than the distance by which the end insertion grooves 812 are spaced apart from each other.

The short circuit block 820 is formed to extend in one direction, i.e., up and down in the illustrated embodiment. The cross-section of the shorting block 820 may be formed in a quadrangle. That is, the short block 820 may be formed in a quadrangular prism shape.

In the illustrated embodiment, the cross-section of the short circuit block 820 has a trapezoidal shape in which one side edge to be coupled to the frame 20 is a bottom edge and the other side edge opposite to the one side edge, that is, the other side edge opposite to the frame 20 is a top edge.

In other words, a length of one surface of the short circuit block 820 combined to one surface of the frame 20 in a direction in which the moving member 810 extends (i.e., a left-right direction) is longer than a length of the other surface opposite to the one surface of the short circuit block 820 in the direction in which the moving member 810 extends (i.e., the left-right direction).

Respective faces of the short circuit blocks 820 disposed adjacent to each other facing each other may be formed obliquely. In one embodiment, each of the faces may extend at an acute angle with respect to a face (i.e., a front side) of each of the shorting blocks 820 coupled to the frame 20.

That is, the respective faces of the short block bodies 820 adjacent to each other facing each other are formed obliquely in a direction away from the frame 20. In other words, respective faces of the short block bodies 820 adjacent to each other facing each other are formed obliquely away from each other in a direction facing the moving member 810.

That is, in the illustrated embodiment, the distance between the faces facing each other may increase as being away from the frame 20 in the direction toward the rear side.

By the shape of the shorting block 820, the first and second connector ends 831 and 832 of the variable connector 830 are in contact with the face (i.e., the inclined face) of the shorting block 820, and can be easily in contact with the shorting block 820.

In addition, the first connector end 831 and the second connector end 832 of the variable connector 830 may easily enter the other face of the shorting block 820 (i.e., the face spaced apart from the frame 20 and facing the frame 20) along the face (i.e., the inclined face) of the shorting block 820.

Accordingly, the shorting block 820 and the variable connector 830 may be elastically contacted without an additional elastic member. That is, the variable connector 830 contacts the short circuit block 820 while applying an elastic force to the short circuit block 820 in the direction of the short circuit frame 20. This will be described in detail later.

The shorting block 820 includes a shorting wire 821, a moving member support 822, and a contact 823.

The shorting wire 821 may electrically connect the blocking plate 640 and the variable connector 830. One end of the short wire 821 is electrically connected to the blocking plate 640. The other side end of the shorting wire 821 is electrically connectable to the variable connector 830.

Thus, the rail unit 540 and the capacitor assembly 100, which are in electrically contactable contact with the blocking plate 640, may be electrically connected with the variable connector 830.

That is, the variable connector 830 may be electrically connectable to an external electronic device (electronic equipment).

In the present description, although a case where an external electronic device is the capacitor module 100 in which a capacitor element (not shown) is housed is explained, it is understood that the short-circuit adjustment unit 800 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to any electronic device that needs a short circuit.

The shorting conductor 821 may have a plurality. Each of the plurality of shorting conductors 821 is electrically connectable with the plurality of blocking plates 640 and the plurality of variable connectors 830, respectively.

The moving member support 822 supports the moving member 810 such that the moving member 810 can slide in a state of being inserted into the short circuit block 820.

The moving member support 822 may be rotatably coupled to the short circuit block 820. If the moving member 810 slides in the left or right direction, the moving member support 822 may rotate.

The moving member support 822 may have a plurality. In the illustrated embodiment, the moving member supporting parts 822 have two, respectively located at the upper and lower sides of the short circuit block 820.

The moving member support 822 includes: a first portion 822a in contact with the shorting block 820; and a second portion 822b, continuous with the first portion 822a, located in a direction away from the shorting block 820 (i.e., in a direction opposite the shorting block 820).

The diameter of the first portion 822a may be formed to be smaller than the diameter of the second portion 822 b. The first portion 822a is formed to protrude a predetermined length from one side surface of the short circuit block 820 in a direction away from the support portion 23 (i.e., in a direction opposite to the support portion 23). The length may be greater than the thickness of the moving member 810.

Thereby, a predetermined space is formed between the one side surface of the short circuit block 820 and the second portion 822 b. The upper and lower ends of the moving member 810 may be inserted into the predetermined spaces formed at the upper and lower sides, respectively.

The contact portion 823 is a portion that contacts the

respective end portions

831, 832 of the variable connector 830. The contact portion 823 is located between the plurality of moving member supporting portions 822.

The contact portion 823 is formed to protrude by a predetermined length in a direction away from the support portion 23 (i.e., in a direction opposite to the support portion 23). Thereby, the

respective end portions

831, 832 of the variable connector 830 can be easily brought into contact with the contact portion 823.

The width direction of the contact portion 823, that is, each end portion in the left-right direction in the illustrated embodiment may be formed to be inclined in a direction toward the support portion 23. That is, each of the end portions of the contact portion 823 may be configured such that the protruding length in the direction toward each other increases.

Thereby, the

respective end portions

831, 832 of the variable connector 830 can easily enter the inside of the contact portion 823. In addition, the

respective end portions

831, 832 of the variable connector 830 can be easily detached to the outside of the contact portion 823.

The variable connector 830 forms or releases the energized state between the short circuit blocks 820 different from each other. The variable connector 830 is configured to contact or be separated from one or more short circuit blocks among the plurality of short circuit blocks 820 adjacent to each other.

The variable connector 830 may be formed of a conductive material. In an embodiment, the variable connector 830 may be formed of a copper (Cu) material.

The variable connector 830 may be provided in a form having elasticity. In one embodiment, the variable connector 830 may be provided in the form of a leaf spring.

Thus, the first and second connector ends 831 and 832 may be elastically deformed when in contact with the contact portion 823. Thereby, the contact state between the first and second

connector end portions

831 and 832 and the contact portion 823 can be stably maintained.

In addition, the first and second connector ends 831 and 832 are elastically deformed and can be restored to an original shape by a stored restoring force in a state of being separated from the contact portion 823.

Specifically, the first and second connector ends 831 and 832 may store elastic force by a predetermined deformation when moving along the inclined surface of the short circuit block 820.

At this time, the shorting block 820 is formed in a trapezoidal shape. Therefore, as each

connector end

831, 832 moves toward a face facing the frame 20 (i.e., a face between the inclined faces on both sides), the magnitude of the elastic force stored in each

connector end

831, 832 increases.

If each

connector end

831, 832 moves along the face (i.e., the inclined face) of the shorting block 820 and enters the other face of the shorting block 820, the shortest distance between each

connector end

831, 832 and the shorting block 820 is further reduced. Therefore, the magnitude of the elastic force stored in each of the connector ends 831 and 832 becomes maximum.

Thereby, the shape of the variable connector 830 is deformed and contacts the short circuit block 820 in a state of storing an elastic force and can move in a direction (i.e., a left-right direction) in which the moving member 810 extends.

Thereby, even if an additional elastic member or the like is not provided, contact reliability between the variable connector 830 and the short circuit block 820 may be improved.

The variable connector 830 is coupled to the moving member 810. The variable connector 830 may slide in the left and right direction together with the moving member 810.

The variable connector 830 may be located at one of a first position where it is electrically contactable with at least one of the short circuit blocks 820 disposed adjacent to each other and a second position where it is separated from both the short circuit blocks 820 disposed adjacent to each other.

In other words, the variable connector 830 may contact both of the two short circuit blocks 820 disposed adjacent to each other, or may contact only one short circuit block 820, or may not contact both of the short circuit blocks 820.

The variable connector 830 and the short wire 821 are electrically connectable. Thereby, the variable connector 830 and the blocking plate 640 are electrically connectable.

The variable connector 830 is formed to extend a predetermined length in a direction in which the moving member 810 extends, i.e., a left-right direction in the illustrated embodiment. The extended length of the variable connector 830 is preferably determined according to the distance by which the short circuit blocks 820 are spaced apart.

Specifically, the extension length of the variable connector 830 is preferably formed to be equal to or greater than the distance between the facing ends of the respective contact portions 823 of the short circuit blocks 820 adjacent to each other.

That is, in the embodiment shown in fig. 20b, the extension length of the variable connector 830 is preferably formed to be more than the distance between one side end of the short circuit block 820 contacting the first connector end 831 of the variable connector 830 and one side end of the short circuit block 820 contacting the second connector end 832.

Accordingly, if the moving member 810 slides, the first and second connector ends 831 and 832 of the variable connector 830 may be electrically connectable with the short block bodies 820 different from each other, respectively. Thereby, the submodules 10 different from each other can be short-circuited at the same time.

Variable connector 830 includes a first connector end 831 and a second connector end 832.

The first connector end 831 is defined as one side end in the length direction of the variable connector 830.

In the illustrated embodiment, the first connector end 831 is located on the left side of the variable connector 830. The first connector end 831 is bent toward the contact portion 823.

The second connector end 832 is defined as the other side end in the length direction of the variable connector 830. In the illustrated embodiment, the second connector end 832 is located on the right side of the variable connector 830. Second connector end 832 is located on an opposite side of first connector end 831. The second connector end 832 is bent toward the contact portion 823.

The first connector end 831 and the second connector end 832 are respectively continuous with a portion located therebetween and extending in the one direction (i.e., the left-right direction).

The first connector end 831 and the second connector end 832 can extend obliquely relative to the portions toward the frame 20. In an embodiment, first connector end 831 and second connector end 832 may form an obtuse angle with the portions and extend.

Therefore, in the illustrated embodiment, the cross section of the variable connector 830 has a partial shape of a trapezoid that has the first connector end 831 and the second connector end 832 oblique sides and the portion of the variable connector 830 as a bottom side when viewed from the upper side.

The first connector end 831 and the second connector end 832 can be spaced apart from the frame 20. In addition, the first and second connector ends 831, 832 may extend in contact with the shorting block 820.

In other words, the first connector end 831 and the second connector end 832 may extend to an extent that they do not contact the frame 20 and can contact the shorting block 820.

Therefore, when the variable connector 830 moves in the one direction (i.e., the left-right direction), the respective connector ends 831, 832 are elastically deformed in contact with the inclined surface of the short circuit block 820 and can move in the one direction.

Therefore, if the variable connector 830 comes into contact with the short circuit block 820, the variable connector 830 is deformed and moves in a state of storing an elastic force. That is, the variable connector 830 and the shorting block 820 are elastically contacted.

In addition, the sides of the first and second connector ends 831 and 832 toward the frame 20, i.e., the front side in the illustrated embodiment, may be formed in an arc shape.

Thus, if the moving member 810 moves in one direction (i.e., the left-right direction), the first and second connector ends 831 and 832 may easily enter the inclined surface of the short circuit block 820.

As a result, a contact pressure (contact pressure) above a certain level can be ensured between the variable connector 830 and the short circuit block 820. Thereby, the reliability of the contact between the variable connector 830 and the shorting block 820 can be secured.

The first and second connector ends 831 and 832 may be penetratingly inserted into the end insertion groove 812, respectively.

The first connector end 831 is inserted through one of the end insertion grooves 812 and electrically contacts the contact portion 823 of one of the short block bodies 820.

The second connector end 832 is inserted through the other end insertion groove 812 to be electrically contacted with the contact portion 823 of the other short circuit block 820.

It is understood that the certain one end insertion groove 812 and the other end insertion groove 812, through which the first connector end 831 and the second connector end 832 are respectively inserted, are disposed adjacent to each other.

Likewise, it is understood that the certain shorting block 820 and the other shorting block 820 that are in electrical contact with the first connector end 831 and the second connector end 832, respectively, are also disposed adjacent to each other.

That is, the variable connector 830 slides between the adjacent short circuit blocks 820, and can be electrically connected to at least one of the adjacent short circuit blocks 820.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 20a, the variable connector 830 is in electrically contactable contact with only one of the shorting blocks 820 adjacent to each other. That is, the second connector end 832 is in contact with a shorting block 820, and the first connector end 831 is not in contact with the shorting block 820.

In this state, the plurality of sub-modules 10 are not short-circuited to each other. Thus, the capacitor elements (not shown) provided in the plurality of sub-modules 10 can hold voltages different from each other.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 20b, the variable connectors 830 are respectively in electrically contactable contact with the short circuit blocks 820 adjacent to each other. That is, the second connector end 832 maintains a state of being in contact with the certain short-circuiting block 820, and the first connector end 831 is in electrically contactable contact with another short-circuiting block 820 among the short-circuiting blocks 820 adjacent to each other.

Although not shown, as described above, the variable connector 830 may be separated from each of the short circuit blocks 820 adjacent to each other.

Thus, each shorting block 820 is energized through the variable connector 830. Similarly, the capacitor elements (not shown) of the submodules 10, which are electrically connectable to the short-circuiting blocks 820, are also electrically connected.

In this state, the plurality of sub-modules 10 are short-circuited with each other. Thus, the capacitor elements (not shown) provided in the plurality of sub-modules 10 can have the same voltage. In an embodiment, the state may be a grounded state.

The link member 840 is connected to the moving member 810, and converts the rotational motion of the short-circuit adjustment lever 854 into the linear motion of the moving member 810. The link member 840 is connected to the moving member 810 and the short circuit adjustment lever 854, respectively.

The link member 840 may be provided in any form that converts rotational motion to linear motion or converts linear motion to rotational motion. In one embodiment, the link member 840 may be a two-piece link, a three-piece link, or the like.

The link member 840 includes a rotation shaft portion 841, a first link 842, and a second link 843.

The rotation shaft 841 transmits the rotation of the short-circuit adjustment lever 854 to the first link 842. The rotation shaft 841 is connected to the short-circuit adjustment lever 854 and the first link 842. The rotation shaft 841 is rotatable together with the short circuit adjustment lever 854 and the first link 842.

In the illustrated embodiment, the rotation shaft 841 is disposed at a predetermined distance from the vertical frame 21. In one embodiment, the rotation shaft 841 may be formed to extend vertically in the up-down direction, i.e., with respect to the ground.

The rotation shaft 841 can be maintained in a state of being perpendicular to the ground while being spaced apart from the vertical frame 21 by a prescribed distance by a support member.

An insulating member 24 may be provided at a lower side of the rotation shaft portion 841. The insulating member 24 may be configured to surround the outer side of the rotating shaft section 841 adjacent to the indicating member 850. Thereby, it is possible to prevent a safety accident due to high pressure that may occur when the user operates the indication member 850.

The first link 842 transmits the rotational movement of the rotation shaft 841 to the second link 843.

The first link 842 extends in one direction. One side of the first link 842 in the extending direction is connected to the rotation shaft 841. In one embodiment, the first link 842 may be penetratingly coupled to the rotation shaft 841. The first link 842 is rotatable together with the rotation shaft 841.

The other side of the first link 842 is rotatably coupled with the second link 843. When the first link 842 rotates, the second link 843 may perform a linear motion.

The second link 843 converts the rotational motion of the first link 842 into a linear motion and transmits the linear motion to the moving member 810.

The second link 843 is formed to extend in one direction. In the illustrated embodiment, the second link 843 is formed to extend in the left-right direction.

One side of the second link 843 in the extending direction is rotatably coupled to the first link 842. If the first link 842 rotates, the second link 843 may linearly move in a direction facing the moving member 810 or in a direction away from the moving member 810 (i.e., in a direction opposite to the moving member 810).

The other side of the second link 843 in the extending direction is coupled to the moving member 810. If the second link 843 moves linearly, the moving member 810 may also move linearly in a direction away from the second link 843 (i.e., in a direction opposite to the second link 843) or in a direction facing the second link 843.

The indicating member 850 is operated by a user. The user can short-circuit the plurality of sub-modules 10 to the same voltage or can release the short-circuit state by operating the short-circuit adjusting lever 854.

The indication member 850 is disposed adjacent to the insulating member 24 provided below the rotation shaft 841. Thereby, an accident of electric shock of a user approaching the indication member 850 can be prevented.

The indication member 850 includes an indication cover 851, a first display portion 852, a second display portion 853, a short-circuit adjustment lever 854, and a pin member 855.

The indicating cover 851 forms a main body of the indicating member 850. In the illustrated embodiment, the center portion indicating the width direction of the cover 851 is concavely formed. That is, the indicating cover 851 may have a "C" shape when viewed from the upper side.

The indicating cover 851 may be disposed apart from the sub-module 10. Thus, the short adjustment lever 854 may be operated even if a user does not access the sub-module 10. Thereby, a safety accident caused by contact with the sub-module 10 may be prevented.

A first display portion 852, a second display portion 853, a short-circuit adjustment lever 854, and a pin member 855 are provided on the upper surface of the indicator cover 851.

The first display portion 852 and the second display portion 853 display whether or not the plurality of sub-modules 10 are in a short-circuited state. The user can visually recognize whether or not it is in the short state through the first display portion 852 and the second display portion 853.

The first display portion 852 and the second display portion 853 are disposed at a predetermined distance from each other. The prescribed distance may be determined according to a rotation radius and a rotation angle of the short adjustment lever 854.

Specifically, the first display portion 852 may be located at a position that is shielded by the short circuit adjustment lever 854 when the short circuit adjustment lever 854 is rotated toward the first display portion 852. In an embodiment, the first display 852 may be completely obscured by the short adjustment lever 854 when the short adjustment lever 854 is rotated to a maximum position.

Similarly, the second display portion 853 may be located at a position where the short-circuit adjustment lever 854 blocks when the short-circuit adjustment lever 854 rotates toward the second display portion 853. In an embodiment, the second display portion 853 may be completely shielded by the short adjustment lever 854 when the short adjustment lever 854 is rotated to the maximum position.

The first display portion 852 may be shielded when the plurality of sub-modules 10 are in one of a short-circuited state and a non-short-circuited state. In addition, the second display portion 853 may be shielded when the plurality of sub-modules 10 are in the other one of the short-circuited state and the non-short-circuited state.

The first display portion 852 and the second display portion 853 may display a state different from a state in which the short circuit adjustment lever 854 is rotated.

That is, when the short-circuit adjustment lever 854 is rotated to shield the first display portion 852, the state displayed on the second display portion 853 may be an energized state by the rotation of the short-circuit adjustment lever 854.

Similarly, when the short-circuit adjustment lever 854 is rotated to block the second display portion 853, the state displayed on the first display portion 852 may be an energized state by the rotation of the short-circuit adjustment lever 854.

That is, the first display portion 852 and the second display portion 853 are alternately shielded or exposed in each state. Thus, the user can grasp whether each sub-module 10 is in a short-circuited state by using whether or not the first display portion 852 and the second display portion 853 are exposed.

The short-circuit adjusting lever 854 is operated in order to simultaneously short-circuit or release the short-circuit state of the plurality of sub-modules 10. The short adjustment lever 854 may be rotated automatically or manually.

The short circuit adjustment lever 854 is rotatably coupled to the indicating cover 851. The coupling is achieved by a pin member 855.

The short-circuit adjustment lever 854 is connected to the rotation shaft 841. When the short circuit adjustment lever 854 rotates, the rotation shaft 841 may also rotate. As described above, the rotation is transmitted to the moving member 810 through the first link 842 and the second link 843.

The short adjustment lever 854 is formed to extend by a predetermined length. In an embodiment, the short adjustment lever 854 may extend longer than the distance between the first and

second displays

852, 853 and the pin member 855.

Accordingly, the short-circuit adjustment lever 854 can rotate to shield the first display portion 852 or the second display portion 853 in a state of being rotatably coupled to the indication cover body 851 by the pin member 855.

The pin member 855 rotatably couples the short adjustment lever 854 to the indicating cover 851. The pin member 855 functions to short-circuit the rotation shaft of the adjustment lever 854.

The pin member 855 may be located at one side end portion of the direction in which the short circuit adjustment lever 854 extends. In an embodiment, the pin member 855 may be located at an end of the short adjustment lever 854 in a direction away from, i.e., opposite to, the first display portion 852 and the second display portion 853.

Referring to fig. 21 (a), the short circuit adjustment lever 854 is rotated clockwise to shield the first display portion 852. That is, the second display portion 853 is exposed.

Referring to fig. 21 (b), the short circuit adjustment lever 854 is rotated counterclockwise to block the second display portion 853. That is, the first display portion 852 is exposed.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 21, it is understood that the illustration of the rotation shaft section 841 is omitted.

As the short circuit adjustment lever 854 rotates, the rotation shaft 841 also rotates. The rotation is transmitted to the moving member 810 through the first link 842 and the second link 843, so that the moving member 810 slides toward the left or right side.

As described above, the variable connector 830 is in electrically contactable contact with at least one of the short circuit blocks 820 adjacent to each other.

In the case where the variable connector 830 is in contact with a certain shorting block 820, the respective sub modules 10 may maintain voltages different from each other. In the case where the variable connectors 830 are in contact with the short circuit blocks 820 adjacent to each other, the respective sub-modules 10 may be short-circuited to become the same voltage.

The movement of the variable connector 830 is achieved by a moving member 810. The moving member 810 is slidably coupled to the support 23. The variable connector 830 is coupled with the moving member 810 to slide together with the moving member 810.

The movement of the moving member 810 is achieved by the rotating operation of the short circuit adjusting lever 854 and the link member 840. The rotational motion of the short circuit adjustment lever 854 is converted into a linear motion by the link member 840, thereby sliding the moving member 810.

The rotation operation of the short-circuit adjustment lever 854 is displayed by the first display portion 852 and the second display portion 853. When one of the first display portion 852 and the second display portion 853 is shielded by the short-circuit adjustment lever 854, a state based on a rotation operation of the short-circuit adjustment lever 854 can be displayed.

Therefore, the plurality of sub-modules 10 can be easily short-circuited, and a user can easily grasp the short-circuited state.

In the illustrated embodiment, the pipe support member 942 is located below the sub-pipe unit 920 and the valve connection pipe 950. The position of the piping support member 942 may be changed.

The pipe support member 942 is formed to extend in the front-rear direction in the illustrated embodiment, which is the direction in which the sub-pipe unit 920 extends.

The pipe support member 942 may be formed of a material that can achieve a predetermined deformation. In an embodiment, the piping support member 942 may be formed of a synthetic resin material. Thus, even if vibration is generated by the operation of the sub-module 10, the pipe support member 942 can absorb the vibration by deforming.

One side of the direction in which the pipe support member 942 extends, i.e., the front side in the illustrated embodiment, extends to the sub-pipe unit 920. The front end of the pipe support member 942 is bent toward the sub-pipe unit 920.

Valve connecting pipe 950 connects pipe connecting unit 940 and cooling plate 430. The valve connection pipe 950 communicates with the pipe connection unit 940 and the cooling plate 430, respectively.

The valve connection piping 950 may have a plurality. The valve connecting pipes 950 are respectively connected to the inlet 431 and the pipe connecting unit 940, and the outlet 432 and the pipe connecting unit 940.

Valve connection piping 950 extends between piping connection unit 940 and cooling plate 430. The valve connection piping 950 may have a plurality. A plurality of valve connection piping 950 may be provided in each sub-module 10.

The valve connection piping 950 includes a valve inflow piping 951 and a valve outflow piping 952.

The low-temperature cooling fluid flowing in flows into the inner space of the cooling plate 430 through the inflow port 431.

The valve outlet pipe 952 is disposed adjacent to the valve inlet pipe 951.

The high-temperature cooling fluid flowing through the cooling plate 430 and exchanging heat with the IGBT440 flows into the valve outlet pipe 952. The valve outlet pipe 952 communicates with the internal space of the cooling plate 430 through the outlet 432.

The high-temperature cooling fluid that has flowed in flows into the main outflow pipe 912 through the valve outflow pipe 952.

The residual water collecting unit 960 collects residual water discharged from the pipe connecting unit 940. The residual water collecting unit 960 may be located at a lower side of a portion where the first and second

end coupling members

941a and 941b are coupled.

The residual water collecting unit 960 is combined with the capacitor module 100. Specifically, the residual water collecting unit 960 is combined with a bracket member provided at an upper side of the capacitor assembly 100.

The residual water collecting unit 960 may be detachably coupled to the capacitor module 100. If the residual water collecting unit 960 collects residual water of a prescribed capacity or more, the user can drain the collected residual water by detaching the residual water collecting unit 960.

The residual water collecting unit 960 may have a plurality. A plurality of residual water collecting units 960 may be provided in each sub-module 10.

The residual water collecting unit 960 is formed extending upward from the capacitor module 100. Specifically, the residual water collecting unit 960 includes: a first portion extending in parallel with an upper side of the capacitor element 100; a second portion formed at a predetermined angle to the first portion and extending upward from the first portion; and a third portion extending horizontally from the second portion.

The residual water collecting unit 960 includes a residual water collecting space portion 961. The residual water collecting space 961 is a space for collecting residual water dropped from the pipe connection unit 940. The residual water collecting space portion 961 is formed recessed from the third portion by a predetermined distance.

As described above, the cooling flow path section 900 is circulated with a cooling fluid for cooling the IGBT 440. The low-temperature cooling fluid flows from the cooling fluid circulation device (not shown) into the cooling plate 430 through the main inflow pipe 911, the branch inflow pipe 931, the sub inflow pipe 921, the pipe connection unit 940, and the valve inflow pipe 951.

The low-temperature cooling fluid flowing into the cooling plate 430 flows through the inner space of the cooling plate 430 and exchanges heat with the IGBT 440. The heat generated in the IGBT440 is transferred to the cooling fluid of low temperature. Thereby, the low-temperature cooling fluid becomes a high-temperature cooling fluid.

The cooling fluid of high temperature is discharged from the cooling plate 430. The discharged high-temperature cooling fluid flows to the cooling fluid circulation device (not shown) through the valve outflow pipe 952, the pipe connection unit 940, the sub outflow pipe 922, the branch outflow pipe 932, and the main outflow pipe 912.

Therefore, the heat generated in the IGBT440 can be discharged through the cooling fluid. Thus, the IGBT440 maintains a proper temperature, and the operational reliability of the sub-module 10 can be improved.

The sub pipe unit 920 and the valve connection pipe 950 are supported by a pipe support member 942. The sub pipe unit 920 is fixed by a pipe fixing member 943.

Therefore, the coupling of the respective components of the cooling passage section 900 is not released by the vibration generated by the operation of the sub-module 10.

A residual water collecting unit 960 is provided below the pipe connecting unit 940. The residual water collecting unit 960 collects residual water dropped from the pipe connecting unit 940. Thus, the dropped residual water does not flow into the capacitor assembly 100 or the valve assembly 200.

This prevents the cooling fluid from flowing out arbitrarily and damaging the components of the submodule 10.

While the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims.
