[0040] An outdoor cabinet type device comprises an outdoor cabinet type heat dissipation air duct structure.

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, this patent provides an outdoor cabinet heat dissipation duct structure, which consists of a cabinet shell 2, a rainproof elbow 16, a first rain shield 19, a second rain shield 20, a fan assembly 6, a wind guide plate 17, a speed regulating plate 18, a first main heating assembly 13, a second main heating assembly 14, a first partition 8, a second partition 9, a third partition 10, a fourth partition 11, a fifth partition 12, a heat exchanger 7 and an internal heating assembly 15. The cabinet shell 2 is divided into four cavities and two duct cycles by the first partition 8, the second partition 9, the third partition 10, the fourth partition 11, and the fifth partition 12. The air flow at the air inlet of the main air duct 3 passes through the rainproof elbow 16, the first rain shield 19, and the second rain shield 20, and enters the fan assembly 6 after dust filtering. The wind guide plate 17 homogenizes the air flow, and after the first main heating component 13 dissipates the heat, the wind speed and air flow cross-section are adjusted by the speed regulating plate 18. After the second main heating component 14 dissipates the heat, the main air duct 3 discharges the air flow through the air outlet to achieve heat dissipation of the main heating components; the auxiliary air duct 4 is composed of a heat exchanger 7, a DC chamber 36, a return air duct 5, and an AC chamber 37. The external wind flows into the air inlet at the bottom of the heat exchanger 7, and enters the bottom of the AC chamber 37 through the S-shaped labyrinth channel and the dustproof net 31 on the heat exchanger 7. After dissipating the heat of the internal heat generating components, the wind flows into the DC chamber 36 through the honeycomb ventilation holes on both sides of the bottom of the third partition 10 and the fourth partition 11. After dissipating the heat of the internal heat generating components of the DC chamber 36, the wind flows back to the upper part of the heat exchanger 7 through the upper part of the DC chamber 36. The upper part of the heat exchanger 7 is equipped with a centrifugal fan 27, which extracts the hot air flow and discharges it to the outside of the equipment cabinet housing 2 to complete the auxiliary cycle. The two cycles are independent and uncoupled to achieve heat dissipation of different heat generating components. Improve heat dissipation efficiency and reliability.

[0042] The fifth partition 12 divides the cabinet shell 21 into two parts, the upper part is the air collecting chamber. The first partition 8 and the second partition 9 divide the lower part into three chambers, which are the AC chamber 37, the main air duct 3, and the DC chamber 36 from right to left. The AC chamber 37 is equipped with a heat exchanger 7, and the heat exchanger 7 separates the AC chamber 37 into two parts, the upper part and the lower part. The third partition 10 and the fourth partition 11 divide the cabinet shell 2 into three parts, the main air duct 3 and the two return air ducts 5. The third partition 10 and the fourth partition 11 have mesh holes at both ends of the lower side, and the AC chamber 37 and the DC chamber 36 are connected to the return air duct 5 through the mesh holes. There is a gap between the three groups of main heating components, connecting the upper part of the DC chamber 36 and the upper part of the AC chamber 37.

[0043] The air duct circulation of the utility model includes the main air duct 3 circulation and the auxiliary air duct 4 circulation. The main air duct 3 circulation is the upper air intake, the airflow enters the top rainproof elbow 16, enters the fan assembly 6 after passing through the S-shaped maze composed of the first rain shield 19 and the second rain shield 20, and the fan assembly 6 is installed with a centrifugal fan 27 and a wind guide plate 17. The centrifugal fan 27 sucks the wind and forces it to flow downward, providing driving force for the main air duct 3 circulation. The wind guide plate 17 disperses the centrifugal airflow to the three main heating components to dissipate the heat. The airflow passing through the first main heating component 13 reaches the upper part of the second main heating component 14 through the main air duct 3 cavity, and the airflow cross section is contracted by the speed regulating plate 18, so that the airflow speed is accelerated and concentrated to the periphery of the second main heating component 14, and the second main heating component 14 is effectively dissipated. The heat flow after heat dissipation is discharged from the outside of the equipment through the bottom to complete the main circulation; the auxiliary air duct 4 circulation is the upper air intake mode. The wind flows to the bottom of the heat exchanger 7 and enters the lower part of the AC chamber 37. After cooling the internal heat generating components, the wind flows into the return air duct 5 through the mesh holes at the bottom of the third partition 10 and the fourth partition 11, and then enters the DC chamber 36 through the return air duct 5. The wind in the DC chamber 36 flows from bottom to top. After cooling the internal heat generating components, the wind flows back to the upper part of the heat exchanger 7 through the gaps between the main heat generating components and the gaps between the main heat generating components and the cabinet shell 2. A centrifugal fan 27 is installed on the upper part of the heat exchanger 7 to extract the hot air out of the equipment to complete the circulation. The driving force for the circulation of the auxiliary air duct 4 is the centrifugal fan 27 of the heat exchanger 7, and the centrifugal fan 27 is an exhaust type.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the air inlet channel of the rainproof elbow 16 is perpendicular to the air outlet channel, and the rainproof elbow 16 is composed of a shell 21, an air inlet assembly 22, a hinge 23, and a sealing strip 24. The bottom of the air inlet assembly 22 is a well-shaped frame, and dustproof cotton is installed on the frame to ensure the maximum air intake and good protection ability. The air inlet assembly 22 is connected to the right side of the shell 21 through a hinge 23, and the left side of the air inlet is fixed to the left side of the shell 21 with screws. When the left screws are removed, the air inlet assembly 22 can swing 90° counterclockwise, which is convenient for later maintenance. On the right side of the shell 21, a drainage hole 25 is opened at the position where the air inlet assembly 22 is installed, so that rainwater entering the rainproof elbow 16 can be discharged to achieve a rainproof function. The sealing strip 24 is attached to the installation surface of the rainproof elbow 16 and the cabinet, and fits with the cabinet after installation to achieve a good seal.

[0045] like Figure 5As shown. The structure of the heat exchanger 7 is composed of a mounting frame 26, a centrifugal fan 27, a first partition plate 28, a second partition plate 29, a cavity plate 30, a dust screen 31, a third rain shield 32, a fourth rain shield 33, an air inlet wire mesh 34 and an air outlet wire mesh 35. The interior of the heat exchanger 7 is composed of the first partition plate 28 and the second partition plate 29 as two upper and lower cavities. The lower cavity is the air inlet cavity. The bottom of the air inlet cavity is provided with an air inlet wire mesh 34. The upper part of the air inlet wire mesh 34 is the third rain shield 32 and the fourth rain shield 33, which are arranged at an angle to each other to form a protective maze to prevent large particles of foreign matter from entering. A dust screen 31 is installed on the side wall of the casing in front of the fourth rain shield 33 to further improve the dustproof ability. The upper part of the heat exchanger 7 is an exhaust cavity, which is equipped with a centrifugal fan 27 and an exhaust wire mesh 35. The centrifugal fan 27 is a suction type, and the wind flows outward. There is a partition plate 30 in the middle of the outside of the heat exchanger 7, which divides the outside of the heat exchanger 7 into two parts, upper and lower.
