[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0029] The following is combined Figures 1 to 6 This describes an embodiment of the present application.
[0030] According to an embodiment of this application, in a first aspect, this application provides a drainage device for installation in a cabinet having a cabinet body 100 and a cabinet door 200, including a drain pipe 1, a drainage channel 2, and a guide 3. The drain pipe 1 is installed on the cabinet door 200 and has a movable outlet 11; the drainage channel 2 is installed inside the cabinet body 100 and has an inlet 21; the guide 3 is installed on the end face of the cabinet door 200 facing inwards from the cabinet body 100, and at least a portion of the drain pipe 1 is installed on the guide 3; wherein, when the cabinet door 200 is closed, the guide 3 guides the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 to communicate with the inlet 21 of the drainage channel 2.
[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, a dehumidifier 300 is installed on the cabinet door 200. The dehumidifier 300 is used to dehumidify the interior of the cabinet 100. A drain pipe 1 is installed on the side of the cabinet door 200 facing the cabinet 100. The drain outlet of the dehumidifier 300 is connected to the drain pipe 1. The outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 can move within a certain range so that the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 changes position when the cabinet door 200 is opened and closed. The drain channel 2 is preferably located at the bottom of the cabinet 100. The inlet 21 of the drain channel 2 is connected to the interior of the cabinet 100, and the other end of the drain channel 2 extends out of the cabinet 100 to collect and drain water from the cabinet 100.
[0032] A guide 3 is fixed on the end face of the cabinet door 200 facing the interior of the cabinet body 100. The guide 3 can be a guide rail or a guide pipe 32, etc. At least a portion of the drain pipe 1 is disposed inside the guide 3 or installed outside the guide 3, so that at least a portion of the guide 3 can be restricted on the guide 3. The guide 3 limits and guides the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1, so that the relative position of the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 and the cabinet door 200 is fixed. When the cabinet door 200 is opened and closed, the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 can move synchronously with the cabinet door 200.
[0033] Specifically, when the cabinet door 200 is closed, the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 corresponds to and connects with the inlet 21 of the drain channel 2, allowing water generated by the dehumidifier 300 during operation to be guided into the drain channel 2 through the drain pipe 1. When the cabinet door 200 is opened, the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 separates from the inlet 21 of the drain channel 2. In this way, the overall length of the drain pipe 1 does not change significantly during the opening and closing of the cabinet door 200, preventing wrinkles or bends and ensuring effective drainage, thus guaranteeing efficient drainage from the dehumidifier 300.
[0034] Understandably, to ensure the stable operation of internal electrical or electronic equipment, various cabinets typically require a specific humidity environment, and therefore dehumidifiers 300 are often installed inside them. The drainage device in this embodiment is applicable not only to outdoor cabinets but also to indoor cabinets, and the cabinets can be energy storage cabinets, signal cabinets, or power distribution cabinets, etc. Of course, in addition to the aforementioned cabinets, the drainage device in this embodiment is also applicable to various cabinet structures with dehumidification and drainage requirements. That is, in scenarios where the dehumidifier 300 is installed on the cabinet door and the drainage channel 2 is located inside the cabinet, the drainage device of this embodiment is also suitable.
[0035] Optionally, the drain pipe 1 can be made of a flexible material with a certain degree of elasticity and bending resistance, so that the drain pipe 1 can be guided by the guide 3, so that the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 can be connected to the inlet 21 of the drainage channel 2.
[0036] Optionally, a floor drain is installed in the drainage channel 2 to facilitate the drainage of water from the cabinet 100 through the drainage channel 2. At the same time, it can also prevent foreign objects from the outside of the cabinet from entering the cabinet through the drainage channel 2, effectively ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the electrical equipment inside the cabinet.
[0037] In one embodiment, the drain pipe 1 can be fixed to the outside of the guide 3 by binding, so that the guide 3 can guide and restrict the movement of the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1.
[0038] In another embodiment, to further facilitate the installation of the drain pipe 1 and reduce the space occupied by the drain pipe 1, the guide 3 is provided with a guide cavity 31 through which at least a portion of the drain pipe 1 passes.
[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the guide cavity 31 inside the guide member 3 serves as a continuous channel for the drain pipe 1 to pass through. That is, the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 extends into the guide cavity 31 from the first position of the guide member 3 and is arranged along the extension direction of the guide cavity 31, so that the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 extends out from the second position of the guide cavity 31. The extension direction of the guide cavity 31 is used to limit the drain pipe 1, ensuring that when the cabinet door 200 is closed, the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 corresponds to the inlet 21 of the drainage channel 2 to avoid misalignment.
[0040] Optionally, the inner diameter of the guide cavity 31 is adapted to the outer diameter of the drain pipe 1 to allow the drain pipe 1 to move in the guide cavity 31, while also providing constraint on the drain pipe 1 to prevent it from excessively wobbling or coming out relative to the guide 3.
[0041] In one embodiment, the guide 3 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end of the guide 3 is connected to the cabinet door 200, and the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 extends through the second end of the guide 3 and out of the guide cavity 31.
[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the first end of the guide 3 is close to and fixedly connected to the cabinet door 200, and the second end of the guide 3 faces the inside of the cabinet 100. The drain pipe 1 extends along the height direction Z of the cabinet door 200. The outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 preferably extends into the guide cavity 31 near the first end of the guide 3 and extends out from the second end of the guide 3. In this way, after the drain pipe 1 passes through the guide cavity 31, the drain pipe 1 is guided and bent by the guide 3, so that the drain pipe 1 forms an L-shaped structure or a similar L-shaped structure. While ensuring that the cabinet door 200 of the cabinet can be opened normally, the drain pipe 1 does not need to reserve too much redundant length, and the drain pipe 1 is not prone to wrinkles or bends when the cabinet door 200 is closed.
[0043] Optionally, the second end of the guide 3 extends into a specific position within the cabinet 100, which can be adaptively adjusted according to the specific position of the drainage channel 2 in the cabinet 100. Furthermore, the guide 3 can be fixed to the cabinet door 200 by means of bolt connection, snap-fit connection, or adhesive bonding.
[0044] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the drain pipe 1 to extend into the guide cavity 31, the guide 3 includes a guide pipe 32, and an inlet channel 33 is provided on the side wall of the guide pipe 32, which is connected to the guide cavity 31.
[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the guide tube 32 is a tubular component. The guide tube 32 can be a pipe with a certain rigidity. The interior of the guide tube 32 forms a guide cavity 31. The guide tube 32 has four side walls, and the inlet channel 33 can be opened on any one of the side walls. The inlet channel 33 extends along the axial direction of the guide tube 32 and communicates with the guide cavity 31. When installing the drain pipe 1 into the guide cavity 31, a portion of the drain pipe 1 is extended into the guide cavity 31 through the inlet channel 33, making the installation of the drain pipe 1 on the guide tube 32 simple and convenient.
[0046] Optionally, the width of the inlet channel 33 can be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the drain pipe 1, so that during the process of the drain pipe 1 extending into the guide cavity 31, the inlet channel 33 allows the drain pipe 1 to be squeezed into the guide cavity 31, thereby making it difficult for the pipe body portion of the drain pipe 1 extending into the guide cavity 31 to detach from the guide cavity 31.
[0047] In one embodiment, in order to further limit and fix the drain pipe 1 installed on the guide pipe 32, a limiting member 4 is provided in the inlet pipe channel 33, and the limiting member 4 is adapted to abut against the drain pipe 1.
[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, a limiting member 4 is provided in the inlet pipe channel 33. The limiting member 4 can be a limiting block or a limiting plate, etc. The following description uses a limiting plate as an example to illustrate the limiting member 4. The limiting plate is provided in the inlet pipe channel 33 and along the axial direction of the guide pipe 32. One or more limiting plates can be provided. The limiting plate is connected to the guide pipe 32 to close a portion of the guide cavity 31. After the drain pipe 1 extends into the guide cavity 31, the outer wall of the drain pipe 1 abuts against the wall of the limiting plate facing the guide cavity 31, thereby further preventing the drain pipe 1 from leaving the guide cavity 31.
[0049] In one embodiment, the limiting member 4 is fixed to the guide tube 32, that is, the limiting plate is disposed in the inlet channel 33 and fixed to the guide tube 32. When the limiting plate is provided with one or more, the limiting plate can close a portion of the guide cavity 31, and the drain pipe 1 can extend into the guide cavity 31 from the unclosed area of the limiting plate.
[0050] In another embodiment, to further facilitate the insertion of the drain pipe 1 into the guide cavity 31, the limiting member 4 is detachably connected to the guide pipe 32.
[0051] In this embodiment, the limiting member 4 can be detachably connected to the guide tube 32 by means of bolt connection or snap connection. When it is necessary to extend the drain pipe 1 into the guide inner cavity 31, the limiting member 4 can be removed to facilitate the drain pipe 1 to extend into the guide inner cavity 31 from the inlet pipe channel 33. After the drain pipe 1 is installed, the limiting member 4 is installed on the guide tube 32 to limit the drain pipe 1 and prevent the drain pipe 1 from falling off the guide tube 32.
[0052] In one embodiment, the guide tube 32 includes a base plate 321 and side plates 322 respectively disposed on both sides of the base plate 321, the base plate 321 and the two side plates 322 forming a guide cavity 31.
[0053] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the drain pipe 1 is typically located below the dehumidifier 300, and extends from high to low in the height direction Z to facilitate drainage. The guide pipe 32 is located below the dehumidifier 300. To further facilitate the drain pipe 1's insertion into the guide pipe 32, the inlet channel 33 is located on the top surface of the guide pipe 32. That is, the guide pipe 32 may include a base plate 321 and side plates 322 fixed on both sides of the base plate 321, so that the guide pipe 32 as a whole forms a semi-enclosed structure with an open top surface. The base plate 321 supports and guides the drain pipe 1, causing the drain pipe 1, which extends downward in the height direction Z, to bend under the action of the base plate 321 and extend towards the inside of the cabinet 100. The side plates 322 on both sides of the base plate 321 can limit the drain pipe 1, making it difficult for the drain pipe 1 to detach from the base plate 321 in the horizontal direction.
[0054] In one embodiment, the drainage channel 2 is located at the bottom of the cabinet 100. When the cabinet door 200 is closed, the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 corresponds to the inlet 21 of the drainage channel 2 in the height direction Z of the cabinet 100.
[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the drainage channel 2 is installed at the bottom of the cabinet 100. When the cabinet door 200 is closed, guided by the guide pipe 32, the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 is preferably located above the inlet 21 of the drainage channel 2. The water discharged from the drain pipe 1 falls to the inlet 21 of the drainage channel 2 under the action of gravity. In this way, there is a certain distance between the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 and the inlet 21 of the drainage channel 2 in the height direction Z. During the closing of the cabinet door, the movement of the drain pipe 1 is less likely to interfere with the threshold or other structures inside the cabinet 100, which facilitates the arrangement of the drain pipe 1.
[0056] Optionally, the specific distance between the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 and the inlet 21 of the drain channel 2 in the height direction Z can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs to prevent large liquid splashing during drainage and ensure the drainage efficiency and drainage effect of the drain channel 2.
[0057] In one embodiment, the guide 3 is perpendicular to the cabinet door 200; and / or, a tube bundle 5 is provided on the cabinet door 200, and the tube bundle 5 is connected to the drain pipe 1.
[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, when the guide 3 is installed on the cabinet door 200, the axial extension direction of the guide 3 is approximately perpendicular to the end face of the cabinet door 200, so that the guide 3 reduces the overall length of the guide 3 while ensuring that the drain pipe 1 is guided.
[0059] The tube bundler 5 can be a cable tie, clamp, or Velcro, etc. It binds the part of the drain pipe 1 outside the guide 3, so that the other part of the drain pipe 1 is fixed on the cabinet door 200. This prevents the drain pipe 1 from swinging or drooping on the cabinet door 200 and getting tangled with other parts on the cabinet door 200, thus improving the safety and aesthetics of the drain pipe 1 arrangement.
[0060] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a cabinet, including a cabinet body 100 and a cabinet door 200; and a drainage device of any of the above, wherein a drain pipe 1 is disposed on the cabinet door 200 and a drain channel 2 is disposed at the bottom of the cabinet body 100.
[0061] In this embodiment, the cabinet has the aforementioned drainage device. During the opening and closing of the cabinet door 200, the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 on the cabinet door 200 can move with the cabinet door 200. After the cabinet door 200 is closed, under the action of the guide 3, the outlet 11 of the drain pipe 1 can be connected to the inlet 21 of the drainage channel 2, so as to achieve effective drainage of the dehumidifier 300. Moreover, the drain pipe 1 is not prone to wrinkles or bends, ensuring the drainage effect of the drain pipe 1.
[0062] Although embodiments of this application have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of this application, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
