Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of outdoor cabinet technology, and in particular to an outdoor waterproof cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor server racks serve as outdoor installation carriers for core devices such as communication base stations, environmental monitoring terminals, and industrial automation control equipment. Their operational stability directly determines the reliability and service life of downstream equipment. Because outdoor server racks are exposed to complex outdoor environments such as sun and rain, sandstorms, salt spray corrosion, drastic temperature changes, and external impacts, they must simultaneously meet numerous stringent performance requirements, including waterproofing, dustproofing, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, and thermal insulation.
[0003] In existing technologies, the waterproof design of outdoor server racks generally adopts a single-layer sealing structure. This involves adding a rubber sealing strip at the joint between the rack door and the rack body, relying on the elastic deformation of the rubber sealing strip to fill the gaps and block the intrusion path of rainwater and dust. The waterproof performance of this structure depends entirely on the material properties of the rubber sealing strip and the tightness of its installation. However, in actual outdoor application scenarios, the above design has significant reliability defects: On the one hand, long-term ultraviolet radiation and alternating high and low temperatures in the outdoor environment will accelerate the aging process of the rubber sealing strip, leading to problems such as hardening, cracking, and shrinkage, and the sealing performance will decline sharply over time. On the other hand, traditional rubber sealing strips are mostly flat-fit designs. When the rack is slightly deformed by external forces such as strong winds and vibrations, gaps can easily appear on the surface where the sealing strip and the rack body are fitted. Rainwater can seep into the interior of the rack through these gaps, causing short circuits in circuit boards, corrosion of metal components, and other malfunctions. In severe cases, it can directly damage internal precision equipment, causing accidents such as communication interruptions, loss of monitoring data, and failure of industrial control.
[0004] In addition to the inherent defects of the sealing structure mentioned above, existing outdoor cabinets usually neglect the design of drainage systems, which further exacerbates the risk of water leakage and affects the reliability of outdoor cabinets. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an outdoor waterproof cabinet to solve the problems existing in the prior art, adapt to outdoor rainy environments, and provide long-lasting and stable waterproof performance.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: This invention provides an outdoor waterproof cabinet, comprising a main frame, several water guide channels, and multiple encapsulation plates. The multiple encapsulation plates are respectively encapsulated on each side of the main frame. A bending structure is provided between the main frame and the encapsulation plates. A sealing strip is installed inside the bending structure. The sealing strip is interference-fitted with the bending structure. The water guide channels are located on the main frame and / or the encapsulation plates, and the water guide channels are used to drain rainwater.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] The purpose of this invention is to provide an outdoor waterproof cabinet to solve the problems existing in the prior art, adapt to outdoor rainy environments, and provide long-lasting and stable waterproof performance.
[0021] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1-11 As shown, this embodiment provides an outdoor waterproof cabinet, including a main frame 1, several water guide channels 13, and multiple encapsulation plates 2. The multiple encapsulation plates 2 are respectively encapsulated on various surfaces of the main frame 1, isolating the interior of the main frame 1 from the outside environment, facilitating the encapsulation and protection of its internal components. A bending structure is provided between the main frame 1 and the encapsulation plates 2, and a sealing strip 12 is installed within the bending structure. The sealing strip 12 is pressurized against the bending structure, thereby sealing the gap between the main frame 1 and the encapsulation plates 2. The waterproofing system is designed to prevent rainwater from entering the main frame 1 and affecting the normal operation and lifespan of internal components. The water guide channel 13 is located on the main frame 1 and / or the encapsulation plate 2. The water guide channel 13 is used to drain rainwater. Even if rainwater reaches the main frame 1, the water guide channel 13 can guide the rainwater, facilitating its drainage and preventing it from entering the main frame 1. This ensures that the waterproof and dustproof performance of the outdoor waterproof cabinet reaches IP65 or higher, significantly improving the protection capability of the outdoor waterproof cabinet for the internal components.
[0023] Specifically, the main frame 1 is a cuboid frame. Those skilled in the art can also make adaptive adjustments to its shape and size according to actual needs. The main frame 1 is a welded frame. The encapsulation plate 2 at the top of the main frame 1 is the top plate 7, the encapsulation plate 2 at the bottom of the main frame 1 is the bottom plate 9, the encapsulation plate 2 on the front of the main frame 1 is the door panel 6, the encapsulation plate 2 on the back of the main frame 1 is the rear plate 8, and the encapsulation plates 2 on both sides of the main frame 1 are the side plates 5. The encapsulation of the main frame 1 in all directions is achieved through six encapsulation plates 2. There are bending structures between the top plate 7 and the main frame 1, between the side plates 5 and the main frame 1, and between the rear plate 8 and the main frame 1, so as to seal the various connections and improve the waterproof effect.
[0024] The bending structure includes a first bending plate 10 and a second bending plate 11. The first bending plate 10 is installed on the main frame 1, and the second bending plate 11 is installed on the door panel 6, side panel 5, or rear panel 8. The sealing strip 12 is pressed by the first bending plate 10 and the second bending plate 11, and the structure formed by the first bending plate 10 and the second bending plate 11 and the sealing strip 12 adopt an interference fit, so that the outdoor waterproof cabinet forms a sealed structure.
[0025] The free ends of the first bending plate 10 and the second bending plate 11 are arranged facing each other and not on a straight line. That is, the free ends of the first bending plate 10 and the second bending plate 11 are arranged parallel to each other, with the free end of the first bending plate 10 facing a first direction and the free end of the second bending plate 11 facing a second direction. The first and second directions are opposite. The free end of the first bending plate 10 can extend into the sealing strip 12, and the sealing strip 12 can clamp the free end of the first bending plate 10 and press it into the second bending plate 11 under the action of the first bending plate 10, so as to prevent the sealing strip 12 from coming out.
[0026] There are two door panels 6, and the two door panels 6 are located in the same plane. Each door panel 6 is equipped with a handle 4, which facilitates the opening and closing of the door panel 6 and makes operation convenient.
[0027] The bending structure is installed on both sides of each door panel 6, both sides of the back panel 8, and both sides of each side panel 5, thereby enabling sealing in key areas and improving sealing and waterproofing effects.
[0028] The inner side of the main frame 1 is provided with multiple adapter pieces 14. Each adapter piece 14 is a Z-shaped plate, with an elongated hole 15 at each of its two parallel ends. One end of the adapter piece 14 is bolted through one elongated hole 15 to connect to the main frame 1, and the other end is bolted through the other elongated hole 15 to connect to the side plate 5 or the rear plate 8. This allows the side plate 5 and the rear plate 8 to be installed on the main frame 1. The design of the elongated holes 15 facilitates adjustment of the installation position so that the side plate 5 and the rear plate 8 can fit the main frame 1. Alternatively, one elongated hole 15 can be arranged horizontally, and the other vertically. Because the adapter pieces 14 are located on the inner side of the main frame 1, there are no threaded holes or other openings on the outer wall of the main frame 1, significantly improving waterproof performance.
[0029] Water guide channels 13 are installed on the outer side walls of the top plate 7. The ends of the water guide channels 13 are arc-shaped to facilitate the outward guidance of rainwater and achieve rapid drainage of rainwater.
[0030] The sealing strip 12 is a steel strip sealing strip 12, which has good structural stability and long service life.
[0031] A rain cap 3 is integrally connected to the top of the main frame 1. The outer edge of the rain cap 3 extends out of the upper outer edge of the main frame 1, thus serving to block rain.
[0032] Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
