[0024] Example: See Figure 1-2As shown, a controller power distribution box which is easy to quickly replace includes a box body 1, an air inlet 3 is provided on the side wall of the box body 1, a dust screen 4 is provided outside the air inlet 3, and the dust screen 4 can be quickly disassembled and fixed to the outer wall of the box body 1 through an elastic snap-fit ​​structure; a cooling fan 14 is provided on the side wall of the box body 1, and a cooling fan mounting port 15 is provided on the side wall of the box body 1, and the cooling fan 14 can be quickly disassembled and fixed in the cooling fan mounting port 15 through a sliding snap-fit ​​structure.

[0025] The box body 1 is provided with a mounting frame 22 and a PLC controller mounting seat 23. The outer surface of the box body 1 is hingedly provided with a box door 2 at the front end.

[0026] This embodiment improves the connection between the dustproof net and the cooling fan so that both the dustproof net and the cooling fan are snap-on fixed structures for easy installation and removal, thereby improving the problem in the prior art that distribution cabinets are generally densely arranged in groups in large factories, which may interfere with the gaps between other equipment or distribution cabinets during installation and replacement, affecting the overall layout and operating efficiency.

[0027] In a specific implementation: see Figure 3-4 As shown, the elastic snap-fit ​​structure of the dustproof net 4 fixed on the outer wall of the box body 1 is: it includes a mounting frame 5 fixed on the outer side wall of the air inlet 3, and a dustproof net slide groove 6 is provided on the inner side of the mounting frame 5. The frame 7 of the dustproof net 4 is slidably adapted in the dustproof net slide groove 6; a positioning block mounting groove 8 and an operating rod through-hole 12 are provided on the mounting frame 5, one end of the operating rod through-hole 12 is connected with the positioning block mounting groove 8 and the other end is connected with the outside, a positioning block 9 is provided in the positioning block mounting groove 8, an operating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the positioning block 9, a spring A11 is sleeved on the operating rod 10, and the two ends of the spring A11 are respectively pressed against the upper surface of the positioning block 9 and the upper surface in the positioning block mounting groove 8, and the operating rod 10 extends to the outside through the operating rod through-hole 12; a positioning card groove 13 corresponding to the position of the positioning block mounting groove 8 is provided on the frame 7 of the dustproof net 4.

[0028] Preferably, the lower surface of the positioning block 9 is an inclined surface, which can ensure that the positioning block slides smoothly into the positioning slot.

[0029] In this embodiment, by providing a dustproof net, dust and particulate matter can be effectively blocked from entering the distribution box, thereby reducing the wear of the fan and internal equipment, extending the service life of the equipment, and maintaining good heat dissipation performance.

[0030] In this embodiment, the dust screen can be quickly disassembled and fixed on the outer wall of the box body through an elastic snap-fit ​​structure. During operation, the operating rod 10 is manually pulled up to move the positioning block 9 up to the positioning block mounting groove 8, and then the dust screen 4 and its frame 7 are slid into the dust screen slide groove 6. The positioning slot 13 corresponds to the positioning block mounting groove 8 up and down. The operating rod 10 is released, and the operating rod 10 moves down under the elastic force of the spring A11, so that the positioning block 9 is snapped into the positioning slot 13 to achieve snap-fit ​​fixation. During disassembly, the operating rod 10 is pulled up to move the positioning block 9 up to the positioning block mounting groove 8, and the dust screen 4 and its frame 7 can be slid out. This structure allows the dust screen to be replaced by simply pulling the operating rod, reducing the maintenance time of the distribution box, simplifying the maintenance operation, and saving time and effort.

[0031] In a specific implementation: see Figure 5-6 As shown, the sliding clamping structure of the cooling fan 14 installed in the cooling fan installation opening 15 is as follows: a plurality of clamping blocks 21 are evenly distributed around the outer wall of the cooling fan 14; a circular slideway 18 is provided on the inner side of the inner wall of the cooling fan installation opening 15, the inner diameter of the circular slideway 18 is larger than the circumferential diameter formed by the outer surfaces of the plurality of clamping blocks 21 on the cooling fan 14, a pressure ring 19 is adapted in the circular slideway 18, and one side of the pressure ring 19 is connected to the circular slideway by springs B20 evenly distributed around the circumference. The inner wall of the annular slideway 18 is connected; the inner diameter of one side of the inner wall of the cooling fan mounting opening 15 close to the outside is adapted to the diameter gap of the outer wall of the cooling fan 14; a plurality of card-connecting block entry grooves 16 and card-connecting block slots 17 corresponding to the number of the card-connecting blocks 21 are evenly distributed on one side of the inner wall of the cooling fan mounting opening 15 close to the outside; the card-connecting block entry grooves 16 are open on both the inside and outside to form through grooves and facilitate the card-connecting block 21 to enter the annular slideway 18; the card-connecting block slots 17 are open on the inside and closed on the outside and are used to engage with the card-connecting block 21.

Under the pressure of the clamping block 21, the pressure ring 19 elastically moves backward, and the cooling fan 14 is rotated so that the clamping block 21 is clamped into the clamping block slot 17 as it rotates. Then, the pressure ring 19 moves forward under the pressure of the spring B20 to press the clamping block 21, thereby fixing the cooling fan 14. When the cooling fan 14 is disassembled, the cooling fan 14 is pressed backward so that the clamping block 21 withdraws from the clamping block slot 17 to the annular slideway 18, and the cooling fan 14 is rotated so that the clamping block 21 corresponds to the clamping block entry groove 16 and comes out of the clamping block entry groove 16, thereby disassembling the cooling fan.

[0034] This structure enables the fan to be quickly taken out through simple pressing and rotating operations when replacing the cooling fan without changing the spacing between the distribution boxes, thereby reducing the maintenance time of the distribution box and reducing interference with other equipment.
