AI Technical Summary
When the internal arc failure of existing switch equipment, the shell panel is prone to deformation and rupture, or the arc overflow and splashing and injury. At the same time, the ventilation and heat dissipation performance is insufficient, resulting in temperature rise exceeding the limit, making it difficult to meet the protection and heat dissipation requirements at the same time.
The window ventilation frame and protective cover structure are adopted. A metal mesh is installed on the window ventilation frame. The protective cover is composed of multiple plates with an installation angle of 110-150 degrees. The length of the metal cross-slot is 5-10 times the partition length, forming a natural convection ventilation port, which can self-close and protect the arc overflow under high pressure.
Effectively prevent the shell from deforming and rupturing or arc splashing, while ensuring good ventilation and heat dissipation performance, meeting the safety protection and temperature rise requirements in the event of internal arc failure.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a panel structure, in particular to a panel that can be automatically closed to prevent deformation and cracking of an outer shell (door or cover plate) or arc overflow and splashing that may injure people who can touch it, and a ventilated heat dissipation panel structure that can protect against internal arc faults while also taking ventilation into account. Background Art
[0002] Internal arc fault and temperature rise tests are important items for the safety and performance evaluation of power equipment, and are mainly used in switchgear.
[0003] The purpose of an internal arc fault is to evaluate the safety performance of switchgear during an internal arc fault, ensuring personnel safety and limiting equipment damage. Personnel protection: The equipment casing must be able to withstand the pressure of the arc, with no fragments flying. The arc must not ignite the outside of the equipment, and side panels, panels (doors or cover plates), etc. must not open or break, causing injury to accessible operators. To meet the above requirements, the switchgear casing must have sufficient strength to encapsulate and prevent internal arcs from spilling and splashing, causing injury to personnel. Movable parts such as panels (doors) must remain closed during an internal arc fault.
[0004] The purpose of the temperature rise test is to verify whether the temperature rise of the components, materials, and insulation media of the equipment exceeds the limit under the long-term rated current, so as to avoid insulation aging or failure caused by overheating. In order to meet the temperature rise limit requirements of the cabinet components, materials, and insulation media, the cabinet structure has good ventilation and heat dissipation performance to accelerate the convection exchange between the cabinet and the outside air.
[0005] The internal arc fault test and the temperature rise test have conflicting requirements for the enclosure of the switchgear housing panel (door or cover). Specifically, in the switchgear field, especially for high-current (≥2500A) cabinet structures, the temperature rise test places extremely high demands on the ventilation and heat dissipation of the cabinet structure. Tightly enclosing the outer panel (door or cover) will cause the temperature rise of the cabinet components, materials, and insulation medium to exceed the limit, resulting in test failure.
[0006] The internal arc fault test and temperature rise test have different requirements for the switchgear casing to meet the corresponding protection level, but they also need to be considered in a coordinated manner. Summary of the Invention
