Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power outdoor box cooling technology, specifically relating to a power outdoor box cooling system. Background Technology
[0002] An outdoor power distribution box is a power distribution device specifically designed for outdoor environments. It features waterproof, dustproof, and weather-resistant properties to protect the internal electrical equipment and ensure a safe and stable power supply.
[0003] Because it is located outdoors, high temperatures can easily occur inside during the summer, affecting the operation of internal electronic components. Many existing solutions simply install cooling fans, which cannot effectively solve the problem of cooling.
[0004] Therefore, further improvements will be made to address the aforementioned issues. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a cooling system for outdoor power boxes, which uses a back-end module, a cleaning module, a ventilation zone adjustment module, and a temperature adjustment module to work together to efficiently dissipate heat from the outdoor power boxes. It has the advantages of good heat dissipation, wide applicability, and high safety.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a cooling system for outdoor power distribution boxes, installed in the outdoor power distribution box, comprising a backend module, a cleaning module, a ventilation zone adjustment module, and a temperature adjustment module, wherein:
[0007] The cleaning module is located near each ventilation area installed in the outdoor power distribution box (preferably with cleaning modules on both the inner and outer sides). The cleaning module includes a first processing unit, an image acquisition unit, and a robotic arm cleaning unit. The image acquisition unit acquires images of the ventilation area at a preset cycle and transmits the acquired image data to the first processing unit. The first processing unit analyzes and determines whether there are obstructions in the current ventilation area (e.g., at the air inlet or outlet, affecting ventilation and thus affecting heat insulation and cooling). If there are obstructions, a cleaning request is wirelessly transmitted to the backend module. After confirmation by the backend module (sometimes requiring manual confirmation), a cleaning instruction is fed back to the first processing unit, thereby driving the robotic arm cleaning unit to clean the obstructions. The first processing unit determines whether the cleaning is complete based on the image data acquired by the image acquisition unit. If complete, the cleaning completion information is transmitted to the backend module; otherwise, a cleaning failure information is transmitted to the backend module (staff can be arranged to check the situation on-site).
[0008] The ventilation area adjustment module is installed in each ventilation area of the outdoor power box. Each ventilation area adjustment module includes a second processing unit, a ventilation plate, a folding cover plate, and a drive motor. The ventilation plate is fixedly installed in the ventilation area and has a plurality of ventilation holes. The folding cover plate is located on the outside of the ventilation plate and is connected to the drive end of the drive motor. The second processing unit controls the drive motor according to the current internal temperature of the outdoor power box so as to drive the folding cover plate to fold, thereby adjusting the exposed area of the ventilation holes of the ventilation plate according to the degree of folding of the folding cover plate, and finally making the internal temperature of the outdoor power box within a preset temperature range.
[0009] If the internal temperature of the outdoor power box cannot be controlled within the preset temperature range even when the folded cover is folded to its maximum extent (i.e., the ventilation holes of the ventilation panel are exposed to a maximum of 100%), the background module will activate the temperature regulation module (including internal fans, small air conditioners, etc.) to reduce the current internal temperature of the outdoor power box and control it within the preset temperature range. If the internal temperature of the outdoor power box is within the preset temperature range after a preset time, a temperature control success message will be uploaded to the background module; otherwise, a temperature control failure message will be uploaded to the background module (staff can be arranged to check the situation on-site).
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the second processing unit controls the drive motor according to the current internal temperature of the outdoor power box as follows:
[0011] If the internal temperature of the outdoor power box is within the preset temperature range, the drive motor will not drive the folding cover (as long as it is within the upper limit of the preset temperature range, it does not matter if the ventilation hole of the ventilation plate is not exposed).
[0012] If the internal temperature of the current outdoor power box exceeds the upper limit of the preset temperature range by a first degree (preferably 25%), the drive motor drives the folding cover to reach a first degree of folding (preferably 25% of the ventilation hole area of the ventilation plate is exposed).
[0013] If the internal temperature of the current outdoor power box exceeds the upper limit of the preset temperature range by a second degree (preferably 50%), the drive motor drives the folding cover to a second degree of folding (preferably 50% of the ventilation hole area of the ventilation plate is exposed).
[0014] If the internal temperature of the current outdoor power box exceeds the upper limit of the preset temperature range to the third degree (preferably 75%), the drive motor drives the folding cover to the third degree of folding (preferably 75% of the ventilation hole area of the ventilation plate is exposed).
[0015] If the internal temperature of the current outdoor power box exceeds the upper limit of the preset temperature range to the fourth degree (preferably 100%), the drive motor drives the folding cover to the fourth degree of folding (preferably 100% of the ventilation hole area of the ventilation plate is exposed).
[0016] As a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the temperature regulation module is installed inside the outdoor power distribution box.
[0017] As a further preferred technical solution to the above technical solution, the power outdoor box cooling system also includes a water-cooling module, which is distributed in the power outdoor box.
[0018] As a further preferred technical solution to the above technical solution, the backend module notifies the corresponding staff via SMS. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Preferred embodiment.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention discloses a cooling system for an outdoor power distribution box, installed in the outdoor power distribution box, including a backend module, a cleaning module, a ventilation zone adjustment module, and a temperature adjustment module, wherein:
[0024] The cleaning module is located near each ventilation area installed in the outdoor power distribution box (preferably with cleaning modules on both the inner and outer sides). The cleaning module includes a first processing unit, an image acquisition unit, and a robotic arm cleaning unit. The image acquisition unit acquires images of the ventilation area at a preset cycle and transmits the acquired image data to the first processing unit. The first processing unit analyzes and determines whether there are obstructions in the current ventilation area (e.g., at the air inlet or outlet, affecting ventilation and thus affecting heat insulation and cooling). If there are obstructions, a cleaning request is wirelessly transmitted to the backend module. After confirmation by the backend module (sometimes requiring manual confirmation), a cleaning instruction is fed back to the first processing unit, thereby driving the robotic arm cleaning unit to clean the obstructions. The first processing unit determines whether the cleaning is complete based on the image data acquired by the image acquisition unit. If complete, the cleaning completion information is transmitted to the backend module; otherwise, a cleaning failure information is transmitted to the backend module (staff can be arranged to check the situation on-site).
[0025] The ventilation area adjustment module is installed in each ventilation area of the outdoor power box. Each ventilation area adjustment module includes a second processing unit, a ventilation plate, a folding cover plate, and a drive motor. The ventilation plate is fixedly installed in the ventilation area and has a plurality of ventilation holes. The folding cover plate is located on the outside of the ventilation plate and is connected to the drive end of the drive motor. The second processing unit controls the drive motor according to the current internal temperature of the outdoor power box so as to drive the folding cover plate to fold, thereby adjusting the exposed area of the ventilation holes of the ventilation plate according to the degree of folding of the folding cover plate, and finally making the internal temperature of the outdoor power box within a preset temperature range.
[0026] If the internal temperature of the outdoor power box cannot be controlled within the preset temperature range even when the folded cover is folded to its maximum extent (i.e., the ventilation holes of the ventilation panel are exposed to a maximum of 100%), the background module will activate the temperature regulation module (including internal fans, small air conditioners, etc.) to reduce the current internal temperature of the outdoor power box and control it within the preset temperature range. If the internal temperature of the outdoor power box is within the preset temperature range after a preset time, a temperature control success message will be uploaded to the background module; otherwise, a temperature control failure message will be uploaded to the background module (staff can be arranged to check the situation on-site).
[0027] Specifically, the second processing unit controls the drive motor according to the current internal temperature of the outdoor power box as follows:
[0028] If the internal temperature of the outdoor power box is within the preset temperature range, the drive motor will not drive the folding cover (as long as it is within the upper limit of the preset temperature range, it does not matter if the ventilation hole of the ventilation plate is not exposed).
[0029] If the internal temperature of the current outdoor power box exceeds the upper limit of the preset temperature range by a first degree (preferably 25%), the drive motor drives the folding cover to reach a first degree of folding (preferably 25% of the ventilation hole area of the ventilation plate is exposed).
[0030] If the internal temperature of the current outdoor power box exceeds the upper limit of the preset temperature range by a second degree (preferably 50%), the drive motor drives the folding cover to a second degree of folding (preferably 50% of the ventilation hole area of the ventilation plate is exposed).
[0031] If the internal temperature of the current outdoor power box exceeds the upper limit of the preset temperature range to the third degree (preferably 75%), the drive motor drives the folding cover to the third degree of folding (preferably 75% of the ventilation hole area of the ventilation plate is exposed).
[0032] If the internal temperature of the current outdoor power box exceeds the upper limit of the preset temperature range to the fourth degree (preferably 100%), the drive motor drives the folding cover to the fourth degree of folding (preferably 100% of the ventilation hole area of the ventilation plate is exposed).
[0033] More specifically, the temperature regulation module is installed inside the outdoor power distribution box.
[0034] Furthermore, the cooling system for outdoor power distribution boxes also includes water-cooled modules, which are distributed throughout the outdoor power distribution boxes.
[0035] Furthermore, the backend module notifies the relevant staff via SMS.
[0036] It is worth mentioning that the technical features such as the outdoor power distribution box involved in this patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle, and possible control methods and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be adopted using conventional choices in the field, and should not be regarded as the inventive point of this patent.
