A motor is fixedly installed at the rear side of one end of each sealing frame close to the box shell. The motor penetrates through the connecting plate. A motor shaft is rotatably connected to the middle of one end of each motor close to the sealing frame. A worm is connected to the end of each motor shaft. The end of the worm penetrates into the inner cavity on the same side. The worm is located between the two worm gears on the same vertical line and is in transmission connection with the worm gears. A sealing plate is fixed to the middle of the outer side of each shaft rod. The sealing plate is rotatably connected to the frame opening.

[0005] On the basis of the above technical solution, the bottom end of the air duct is inclined downward at an angle of 30 degrees to 60 degrees on the side close to the box side plate.

[0006] On the basis of the above technical solution, the rain shield has a hollow triangular prism structure, and the lower end of the rain shield is an open end.

[0007] On the basis of the above technical solution, the width of the hollow partition is equal to the grooving depth of the air duct, the length of the hollow partition is equal to the grooving width of the air duct, the width of the sealing frame is equal to the grooving depth of the air duct, and the length of the sealing frame is equal to the grooving width of the air duct.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: For this rainproof and dustproof box structure, through the blower, outside air can be sucked into the interior of the air duct through the air inlet. At this time, the rain shield can prevent rain dripping from top to bottom from entering the air duct, and the water droplets sucked into the air duct through the air inlet will hit the inner wall of the air duct. At the same time, the dust in the air will be filtered by the filter net, so that the water droplets and dust can both fall downward and flow out along the inclination of the bottom of the air duct toward the outlet. In this way, while dissipating heat inside the box shell, rainwater and dust are prevented from entering the box shell, thus playing a role in rainproof and dustproof for the box shell; when the box shell is placed in a low-lying area, the rainwater dripping on the ground will rise and soak into the interior of the air duct. When the rainwater rises to the position of the water level sensor, the water level sensor will come into contact with water and sense it. The water level sensor can start the motor to drive the motor shaft to rotate, and at the same time, cut off the current of the blower. At this time, the worm rotates to drive the worm gear to rotate, so that the worm gear drives the shaft rod to rotate, and the shaft rod can drive the sealing plate to rotate. When the sealing plate rotates 90 degrees from the vertical state and presents a horizontal state, the frame opening of the sealing frame can be sealed by the sealing plate, so that the sealing frame can prevent the rainwater from rising further in the air duct, thus avoiding the accumulated rainwater from entering the box shell.

Specific embodiments

[0020] The following describes the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1-6, the present invention provides a technical solution: a rainproof and dustproof box structure, including a box shell 1, box side plates 2, top side plates 3 and connecting plates 6.

There are two connecting plates 6 in total, and the connecting plates 6 are correspondingly and seamlessly welded to one end of the box side plates 2 close to the box shell 1. An air duct 10 is opened at one end of each connecting plate 6 close to the box side plate 2. A hollow partition 12 is fixed in the middle of each air duct 10. A filter screen 13 is arranged inside each hollow partition 12. An air outlet 11 is penetrated through the upper side of one end of each air duct 10 close to the box shell 1. A fan mounting plate 9 is connected to each air outlet 11 by screws. Fans 8 are embedded and installed on the front and rear sides of one end of each fan mounting plate 9 close to the box shell 1. A sealing frame 14 is fixed below the hollow partition 12 inside each air duct 10. A frame opening 24 is penetrated from top to bottom in the middle of each sealing frame 14. A switching power supply 7 is installed at one end of the left top side plate 3 close to the box shell 1. The bottom end of the air duct 10 inclines downward at an angle of 30 degrees to 60 degrees on the side close to the box side plate 2. The rain shield 4 has a hollow triangular prism structure, and the lower end of the rain shield 4 is an open end. The width of the hollow partition 12 is equal to the grooving depth of the air duct 10. The length of the hollow partition 12 is equal to the grooving width of the air duct 10. The width of the sealing frame 14 is equal to the grooving depth of the air duct 10. The length of the sealing frame 14 is equal to the grooving width of the air duct 10. A water level sensor 15 is embedded at the front side of the lower end of each sealing frame 14. An inner cavity 17 is provided inside the rear side of each sealing frame 14. Bearings 18 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the rear end inner wall of each inner cavity 17. A shaft rod 19 is rotatably connected to the front end of each bearing 18. The front end of the shaft rod 19 penetrates through the frame opening 24 and is rotatably connected to the frame opening 24. A worm gear 21 is fixed to the outer rear side of each shaft rod 19. A motor 25 is fixedly installed at the rear side of one end of each sealing frame 14 close to the box shell 1. The motor 25 is penetrated through the connecting plate 6. A motor shaft 26 is rotatably connected to the middle of one end of each motor 25 close to the sealing frame 14. A worm 20 is connected to the end of each motor shaft 26. The end of the worm 20 penetrates into the inner cavity 17 on the same side.The worm gear 20 is located between two of the worm wheels 21 on the same vertical line and is in transmission connection with the worm wheels 21. A sealing plate 23 is fixed in the middle of the outer part of each shaft rod 19. The sealing plate 23 is rotatably connected to the frame opening 24. The length and width of the sealing plate 23 correspond to and are equal to the length and width of the frame opening 24 respectively. The blower 8 and the motor 25 are both electrically connected to the switching power supply 7. The water level sensor 15 is connected to the switching power supply 7. The water level sensor 15 is respectively in signal connection with the blower 8 and the motor 25 through the switching power supply 7. First, through the blower 8 in the blower mounting plate 9, outside air can be inhaled into the air duct 10 through the air inlet 16. At this time, the rain shield 4 can prevent rainwater dripping from top to bottom from entering the air duct 10, and the air enters the air inlet 16 through the opening at the lower end of the rain shield 4. The water droplets inhaled into the air duct 10 through the air inlet 16 will hit the inner wall of the air duct 10. At the same time, the dust in the air will be filtered by the filter screen 13 in the hollow partition 12, so that the inhaled air can be inhaled into the casing 1 along the air outlet 11 for heat dissipation inside the casing 1. In this way, the water droplets and dust can both fall downward and flow out along the inclination of the bottom of the air duct 10 to the outlet 5. In this way, while dissipating heat inside the casing 1, rainwater and dust can be prevented from entering the inside of the casing 1, thus playing a role in rain and dust protection for the casing 1.,

[0022] When the casing 1 is placed in a low-lying area, the rainwater dripping on the ground will rise and infiltrate into the air duct 10. When the rainwater rises to the position of the water level sensor 15 inside the air duct, the water level sensor 15 will come into contact with the water and sense the water level signal. At this time, the water level sensor 15 can start the motor 25 to drive the motor shaft 26 to rotate. At the same time, the blower 8 is powered off. At this time, the worm gear 20 is driven by the motor shaft 26 to rotate, so that the worm gear 20 drives the upper and lower two worm wheels 21 to rotate between the worm wheels 21. In this way, the worm wheel 21 drives the shaft rod 19 to rotate through the bearing 18, so that the shaft rod 19 drives the sealing plate 23 to rotate inside the frame opening 24.

[0023] When the sealing plate 23 rotates 90 degrees from the vertical state to the horizontal state, the frame opening 24 of the sealing frame 14 can be sealed by the sealing plate 23. In this way, the sealing frame 14 can prevent the rainwater from rising further inside the air duct 10, thus avoiding the accumulated rainwater from entering the casing 1.

[0024] When the sealing plate 23 rotates 90 degrees from the horizontal state to the vertical state, the inhaled air can pass through the frame opening 24 of the sealing frame 14.

[0025] Preferably, sealing sleeves 22 are embedded on the upper and lower sides at the front and rear ends of the inner wall of the frame opening 24. The shaft rod 19 passes through the front and rear two sealing sleeves 22 on the same horizontal line. Through the sealing sleeves 22, the sealing performance between the shaft rod 19 and the frame opening 24 can be improved.

[0026] Preferably, motor brackets 27 are fixed to both the front and rear sides of the end of the motor 25 close to the sealing frame 14, and the motor brackets 27 are fixedly connected to the sealing frame 14. The motor brackets 27 can play a role in fixing the motor 25.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
