Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cabinet heat dissipation, and in particular relates to a cabinet passive heat dissipation structure. Background Art

[0002] An outdoor cabinet is a cabinet that is directly under the influence of natural climate, made of metal or non-metallic materials, and does not allow unauthorized operators to enter and operate. It provides an outdoor physical working environment and safety system equipment for wireless communication sites or wired network site workstations. It is suitable for outdoor environments, such as cabinets installed on the side of roads, parks, rooftops, mountainous areas, and flat ground. Base station equipment, power equipment, batteries, temperature control equipment, transmission equipment, and other supporting equipment can be installed in the cabinet, or installation space and heat exchange capacity can be reserved for the above equipment. It can provide reliable mechanical and environmental protection for the normal operation of internal equipment. However, existing cabinets are often in direct sunlight and high temperature environments. In addition, the internal power supply will cause a certain amount of heat to be generated inside the cabinet. Too much heat accumulation will cause safety hazards to the cabinet, easily lead to safety accidents, and cause unnecessary losses. In order to solve the heat dissipation problem, the existing heat dissipation methods of outdoor cabinets include natural heat dissipation and forced heat dissipation. Natural heat dissipation is suitable for low-power products, generally a closed shell of die-casting. Forced heat dissipation methods include direct ventilation using a fan, which has high heat dissipation efficiency. However, environmental pollutants, water vapor, salt spray, etc. also enter the cabinet without hindrance, causing equipment corrosion and thus failure. The use of air conditioning can achieve an internal temperature lower than the external temperature and keep the cabinet closed. However, the above-mentioned forced heat dissipation requires a large amount of electricity, resulting in energy waste. Therefore, a cabinet passive heat dissipation structure is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a passive heat dissipation structure of a cabinet is shown, a top cover 2 is installed on the top of the cabinet 1, a heat dissipation channel 3 is provided in the top cover 2, a cabinet door 4 is hingedly installed on one side of the cabinet 1, a plurality of air inlets 5 are provided on the lower side of the cabinet door 4, an assembly frame 6 is installed on the inner side of the air inlet 5 of the cabinet door 4, a filter component 7 is installed in the assembly frame 6, the filter component 7 is connected to a mounting plate 8, a plurality of through slots 9 are provided on the mounting plate 8, a drive component 10 is installed in the mounting plate 8, and a grid plate 12 is connected to the power output end of the drive component 10.

[0026] In this embodiment, by installing a component rack in the cabinet 1, installing electronic components on the component rack and powering on the component rack for use, the cabinet 1 will generate heat. When the heat is accumulated, the driving component 10 will drive the grid plate 12 according to the change in ambient temperature, so that the grid plate 12 moves on the mounting plate 8 until the grid on the grid plate 12 is aligned with the through groove 9 on the mounting plate 8. Then, the interior of the cabinet 1 is connected with the air inlet 5 to form convection, so that the external air passes through the air inlet 5 and passes through the filter component 7, the through groove 9 and the grid plate 12 in sequence to enter the cabinet 1. After the external air enters the cabinet 1, it takes away the heat in the cabinet 1 and is discharged from the heat dissipation channel 3. By utilizing the chimney principle, the air flow forms a negative pressure and extracts the hot air in the cabinet 1. When the internal temperature drops, the driving component 10 will drive the grid plate 12 to reset and close the air inlet 5, so that the cabinet 1 is open to the outside for a limited time and a limited opening range, effectively ensuring that the intrusion of environmental pollutants and water vapor is controlled to the maximum extent under the working temperature of the equipment.

[0027] Embodiment 2, as Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure on the basis of the embodiment 1: a plurality of air inlets 5 are evenly arranged on the cabinet door 4 , and a waterproof cover 13 is installed on the outer side of the air inlet 5 of the cabinet door 4 .

[0028] In this embodiment, when in use, a waterproof cover 13 is provided on the outer side of the air inlet 5 so that the waterproof cover 13 can prevent external rainwater from entering the air inlet 5 and prevent the cabinet 1 from being invaded by rainwater.

[0029] Embodiment 3, as Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure on the basis of embodiment 1, the filter assembly 7 includes a filter installation frame 14, and the filter installation frame 14 is installed with waterproof and breathable cotton 15, smoke filter cotton 16 and dust filter net 17. The waterproof and breathable cotton 15, smoke filter cotton 16 and dust filter net 17 are installed in the filter installation frame 14 from the outside to the inside.

[0030] In this embodiment, when in use, external air needs to pass through the waterproof and breathable cotton 15, the smoke filter cotton 16 and the dust filter 17 in sequence before entering the cabinet 1. When the external air passes through the waterproof and breathable cotton 15, the smoke filter cotton 16 and the dust filter 17, the waterproof and breathable cotton 15, the smoke filter cotton 16 and the dust filter 17 can filter the water vapor, salt mist and dust in the air to prevent them from entering the cabinet 1.

[0031] Embodiment 4, as Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure on the basis of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 3, and the four corners of the mounting plate 8 are fastened and mounted on the filter mounting frame 14 by screws.

[0032] In this embodiment, during installation, the mounting plate 8 is mounted on the filter mounting frame 14 by screwing the four corners, so that the mounting connection is fixed and convenient for later disassembly, maintenance and use.

[0033] Embodiment 5, as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure on the basis of embodiment 1, the driving assembly 10 includes a fixing seat 18 locked and mounted on the mounting plate 8, the fixing seat 18 is arranged in an L-shaped structure, a notch groove 19 is provided on one side of the fixing seat 18, a limit mounting seat 20 is installed in the notch groove 19, the limit mounting seat 20 is connected to a spring 21, the free end of the spring 21 is connected to a connector 22, and a heat-expandable material 23 is provided between the limit mounting seat 20 and the connector 22.

[0034] In this embodiment, when in use, the driving component 10 adopts the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. The heat-expanding material 23 expands after being heated, thereby pushing the connecting head 22. When the connecting head 22 pushes the grid plate 12, it will also drive the spring 21 to stretch. After the internal temperature drops due to heat dissipation, the heat-expanding material 23 contracts. At the same time, the spring 21 pulls the connecting head 22, and the connecting head 22 drives the grid plate 12 to reset, thereby achieving the effect of passive drive heat dissipation.

[0035] Embodiment 6, as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure on the basis of embodiment 5: the position limiting mounting seat 20 and the connector 22 are both made of brass. Such a structural design improves the heat conduction efficiency.

[0036] In this embodiment, when in use, the limit mounting seat 20 and the connector 22 made of brass material can improve the heat conduction efficiency, so that the heat-expandable material 23 can work stably.

[0037] Embodiment 7, as Figure 4As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure on the basis of Embodiment 5: the connecting head 22 is connected with a locking bolt 24 , and the connecting head 22 is locked and installed on the grid plate 12 by the locking bolt 24 .

[0041] Embodiment 9, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment adds the following structure on the basis of embodiment 1: fixed connection devices 27 are further installed on the upper and lower sides of the back of the cabinet 1, and the cabinet 1 is installed on the external holding pole 28 through the fixed connection device 27. A heat pipe 29 is also installed on the external holding pole 28, and the input end of the heat pipe 29 is connected to the output end of the heat dissipation channel 3. Such a structural design uses the existing pole as a chimney to achieve the heat dissipation function, and can also prevent rainwater from entering during heat dissipation.

[0042] In this embodiment, when installing the cabinet 1, a fixed connection device 27 can be installed on the cabinet 1, so that the cabinet 1 is installed on the external holding rod 28 through the fixed connection device 27. The external holding rod 28 is used as a chimney to allow the heat discharged from the heat dissipation channel 3 to be transported to the external holding rod 28 through the heat pipe 29 and discharged from the external holding rod 28. At the same time, the heat is dissipated through the external holding rod 28, and rainwater can be prevented from entering from the top of the cabinet 1, thereby protecting the electronic components in the cabinet 1.
