Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power distribution cabinet technology, and more particularly to an Internet of Things (IoT) power distribution cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Originating in the media sector, the Internet of Things (IoT) represents the third revolution in the information technology industry. IoT refers to connecting any object to a network through information sensing devices and according to agreed-upon protocols. Objects exchange and communicate information through information transmission media to achieve functions such as intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, and monitoring. A distribution cabinet is a general term for the control center of an electric motor, primarily used in situations where the load is relatively dispersed and the number of circuits is limited.

[0003] Currently, distribution cabinets are mainly divided into power distribution cabinets, lighting distribution cabinets, and metering cabinets. Existing distribution cabinets located in the central control room primarily consist of a cabinet body, a door, and internal electrical components. The door is located on the front of the cabinet, which is typically enclosed by a base plate, uprights, side panels, and a top plate. This enclosure serves to organize and protect the internal electrical components, facilitating external inspection and maintenance. Ventilation holes are usually provided on the side panels for airflow. However, existing distribution cabinets located in the central control room have increasingly stringent temperature requirements. When the cabinet is indoors, the internal temperature is only cooled by the indoor air conditioning system through the ventilation holes, resulting in poor air circulation. To address this issue, those skilled in the art have incorporated exhaust fans inside or outside the IoT distribution cabinet to accelerate air exchange. However, this requires significant space, typically necessitating external enclosure design or internal space allocation for heat dissipation.

[0004] To solve the above problems, there is an urgent need to design an Internet of Things (IoT) power distribution cabinet. Summary of the Invention

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides an IoT power distribution cabinet, which includes a cabinet body 100 and a cabinet door 200. The cabinet door 200 is located on the front side of the cabinet body 100. The cabinet body 100 includes a bottom plate 110, side plates 120 and a top plate 130. The side plates 120 are located on the left, right and rear sides of the cabinet door 200. The top plate 130 is located at the top of the side plates 120 and the cabinet door 200. The bottom plate 110 is located at the bottom of the side plates 120 and the cabinet door 200. The cabinet body 100 also includes two uprights 140, two channel columns 150 and a heat dissipation device 160. Specifically, two uprights 140 are respectively located at both ends of the rear side of the base plate 110, and two channel columns 150 are respectively located at both ends of the front side of the base plate 110. The two channel columns 150 are located on both sides of the cabinet door 200. The side panel 120 includes a left side panel, a right side panel, and a rear panel. The rear panel is located between the two uprights 140, and the left side panel and the right side panel are respectively located between adjacent uprights 140 and channel columns 150. Furthermore, a receiving groove 151 is provided on the front side of the channel column 150, and a heat dissipation device 160 is located in the receiving groove 151. By placing the heat dissipation device 160 in the receiving groove 151, heat exchange between the inside and outside of the cabinet 100 can be achieved.

[0046] With the above structure, when heat dissipation is required inside the cabinet 100, the hot air inside the cabinet 100 is exhausted to the outside of the cabinet 100 through the heat dissipation device 160, and the cold air outside the cabinet 100 is input into the cabinet 100 through the heat dissipation device 160, thereby realizing heat exchange between the inside and outside of the cabinet 100. With two slot columns 150, at least two heat dissipation devices 160 can be installed, which can better realize heat exchange between the inside and outside of the cabinet 100; and the heat dissipation device 160 is integrated with the slot column 150 to improve space utilization.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the above-mentioned heat dissipation device 160 includes a ventilation plate 161, which is disposed at the open end of the receiving groove 151. The ventilation plate 161 has multiple ventilation holes 1611, which allow the air inside and outside the cabinet 100 to flow through the ventilation holes 1611, thereby realizing the heat exchange between the inside and outside of the cabinet 100 and thus realizing the heat dissipation function of the heat dissipation device 160.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the heat dissipation device 160 also includes an air duct baffle 162, which is disposed inside the receiving groove 151. An exhaust channel 163 is formed between the air duct baffle 162 and the ventilation plate 161, enabling the hot air inside the cabinet 100 to be discharged to the outside of the cabinet 100 through the ventilation port 1611. An air inlet channel 164 is formed between the air duct baffle 162 and the bottom of the receiving groove 151, enabling the introduction of cool air from outside the cabinet 100 into the cabinet 100. Through the above structure, heat exchange between the inside and outside of the cabinet 100 can be achieved.

[0049] Optionally, the air duct baffle 162 includes a first plate 1621, a second plate 1622, and a third plate 1623. The first plate 1621 is connected to the base plate 110. The third plate 1623 is parallel to the first plate 1621 and close to the ventilation plate 161. The second plate 1622 is inclinedly connected between the first plate 1621 and the third plate 1623, making the exhaust channel 163 narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. When hot air inside the cabinet 100 enters the exhaust channel 163, due to the narrower exhaust channel 163 at the third plate 1623, the air pressure is greater than that of other parts, causing most of the gas inside the cabinet 100 to flow quickly to the third plate 1623 and be discharged from the vent 1611 opposite to the third plate 1623. The remaining small portion of gas is discharged from the vent 1611 opposite to the second plate 1622. Preferably, the density of ventilation openings 1611 on the portion of the ventilation plate 161 opposite to the third plate 1623 is greater than that in other locations, which can improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation device 160.

[0050] Optionally, the receiving slot 151 has an air inlet 1631 at the bottom end of the side wall facing the interior of the cabinet 100, which is an exhaust channel 163. Hot air inside the cabinet 100 can enter the exhaust channel 163 through the air inlet 1631 and then be discharged to the outside of the cabinet 100 through the vent 1611 on the ventilation plate 161, thus venting the gas inside the cabinet 100. Optionally, a fan 166 is provided at the air inlet 1631. The fan 166 can draw the gas inside the cabinet 100 into the exhaust channel 163, thereby allowing the gas inside the cabinet 100 to be discharged to the outside of the cabinet 100 through the vent 1611.

[0051] Optionally, the ventilation opening 1611 of the ventilation plate 161, which is higher than the third plate 1623, serves as the air inlet of the air inlet channel 164. The bottom of the receiving groove 151 is provided with an air outlet 1641. Cold air from outside the cabinet 100 can enter the air inlet channel 164 through the ventilation opening 1611 and then enter the cabinet 100 through the air outlet 1641, thereby achieving the cooling and heat dissipation effect on the inside of the cabinet 100.

[0052] Preferably, the heat dissipation device 160 further includes a dustproof net 165, which is disposed at the air inlet of the air inlet channel 164. One end of the dustproof net 165 is connected to the third plate 1623, and the other end is connected to the top plate 130. It can filter external air and prevent dust mixed in the external air from entering the cabinet 100 and causing pollution and damage to the internal structure of the cabinet 100. More preferably, the dustproof net 165 is inclined towards the side away from the ventilation plate 161, which increases the air inlet and the air intake area of ​​the air inlet channel 164, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. Optionally, the dustproof net 165 is sealed to the two side walls opposite to the receiving groove 151, so that all external air entering the air inlet channel 164 can pass through the dustproof net 165 for dust removal and filtration. It is understood that in other embodiments, the dustproof net 165 can also be replaced by a dustproof plate or other dustproof and breathable structures, which will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Furthermore, the air duct baffle 162 is sealed to the two opposite side walls of the receiving groove 151, which can achieve a seal between the exhaust channel 163 and the air inlet channel 164, preventing hot air and cold air from mixing and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation device 160. Optionally, in this embodiment, a sealing strip is provided between the air duct baffle 162 and the two opposite side walls of the receiving groove 151, which can achieve a seal between the air duct baffle 162 and the two opposite side walls of the receiving groove 151.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the heat dissipation device 160 also includes a monitor 167, which is located in the air intake channel 164. The monitor 167 is connected to the fan 166 via a signal. The monitor 167 can monitor the temperature inside the cabinet 100. When the detected temperature is too high, it controls the fan 166 to turn on, so that the exhaust channel 163 exhausts air and the air intake channel 164 intakes air. Since the monitor 167 is located in the air intake channel 164, it can be cooled down.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, other electrical components may also be integrated into the receiving slot 151. For example, the receiving slot 151 may be integrated with a display light panel 168 to determine whether the working status of the wiring terminals inside the cabinet 100 is normal.

[0056] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4As shown, when the monitor 167 detects that the temperature inside the cabinet is too high and reaches the preset temperature value, the fan 166 is turned on. The fan 166 draws the hot air inside the cabinet 100 into the exhaust channel 163, and most of the hot air is discharged from the vent 1611 opposite to the third plate 1623, while a small portion of the hot air is discharged from the vent 1611 opposite to the second plate 1622. At this time, due to the negative pressure effect inside the cabinet 100, the cold air outside the cabinet 100 passes through the dust filter 16. Air enters through the vent 1611 and is filtered by the dust filter 165 before entering the air intake channel 164. This not only cools the monitor 167 but also allows the air to enter the cabinet 100 through the exhaust vent 1641, thus cooling the internal components of the cabinet 100. This facilitates heat exchange between the inside and outside of the cabinet 100, thereby achieving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation device 160. Furthermore, the heat dissipation device 160 is integrated with the channel column 150, improving space utilization.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] This embodiment provides an IoT power distribution cabinet. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the two uprights 140 on the rear side of the base plate 110 are replaced with slotted columns 150, that is, the cabinet body 100 includes four slotted columns 150. At the same time, it also includes at least four heat dissipation devices 160, which greatly improves the heat exchange between the inside and outside of the cabinet body 100 of the IoT power distribution cabinet, improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the IoT power distribution cabinet, and has a high degree of integration, further improving the space utilization rate.

[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
