[0033] Embodiment: The utility model discloses an electrical cabinet, which is mainly used for the installation, protection and management of electrical systems. In this embodiment, a power module and a water distributor are integrated in the electrical cabinet, so that the heat dissipation of each power module is controlled by the water distributor, and at the same time, the existing heat dissipation device including the water distributor is externally placed, which makes the heat dissipation path longer and the heat dissipation effect poor. For details, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, including a cabinet 1, a plurality of power modules 2 and a water distributor 3 integrated in the cabinet 1; one side of the power module 1 extends to the front outer wall of the cabinet 1, and is provided with a control panel 21; the water distributor 3 is located on the side of the power module 2 away from the control panel 21, and is respectively connected to each power module 2 through a pipe (not shown in the figure) to control the heat dissipation of each power module 2; it can be understood that the power module 2 and the control panel 21 are arranged on the front side of the cabinet 1, the water distributor 3 and the pipe are used to be arranged on the rear side of the cabinet 1, and the side wall of the cabinet 1 is provided with a through hole 4 for the inlet and outlet water pipes connected to the water distributor 3 to pass through. The through hole 4 is arranged on the side wall of the cabinet 1 close to the bottom wall, for allowing the inlet and outlet water pipes to pass through, and is arranged below the side wall to reduce the impact on the placement position of the cabinet 1 in the usage scenario.

[0034] In this embodiment, through the above-mentioned arrangement, the water divider 3 and the power module 2 are both integrated in the electrical cabinet. As an illustration, the electrical cabinet can adopt the existing settings, or it can integrate other existing control modules therein for application in different implementation scenarios. The water divider 3 is integrated in the electrical cabinet, which is different from the existing design in which the water divider 3 is arranged outside the electrical cabinet. It can directly control the heat dissipation of each power module 2 integrated in the electrical cabinet, effectively shorten the heat dissipation path, improve the heat dissipation efficiency, and at the same time improve the space utilization.

[0035] In this embodiment, one side of the power module 2 on which the control panel 21 is arranged extends to the front outer wall of the cabinet 1, so that the side of the power module 2 can form a part of the front outer wall of the cabinet 1. Optionally, an opening can be set in advance on the front outer wall of the cabinet 1, so that after each power module 2 is placed in the cabinet 1, the sides on which the control panel 21 is set are connected to each other to close the opening, so that the operator can directly operate the control panel 21 outside the cabinet 1 to control the working status of each power module 2 or other modules connected to the cabinet 1. Furthermore, a power interface (not marked in the figure) can be set on the side of the power module 2, so that the external module can directly connect to the power module 2 to take power or supply power.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, in order to improve the regularity and stability of the arrangement of the power modules 2, a bracket 5 for supporting each of the power modules 2 is provided in the cabinet 1; each of the power modules 2 forms multiple columns stacked along the height direction of the cabinet 1 through the bracket 5. Furthermore, the power modules 1 and the control panel 21 are integrally arranged, and can be disassembled or installed together during the disassembly process, thereby improving the connection stability. The power modules 2 are stacked along the height direction of the cabinet 1 through the bracket 5, so that the power modules 2 are regularly arranged, and the control panel 21 is also vertically stacked and arranged corresponding to the front side wall of the cabinet 1, so that the power modules 2 are integrated into a compact unit, and the control panel 21 is also integrated and arranged in a certain area, so that there is no need to connect the power modules 2 separately, thereby reducing the external connection points, effectively saving space occupation, and improving space occupation rate.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the bracket 5 is provided with a reinforcement portion 51 on the side of the power module 2 away from the control panel 21, which can further improve the stability of the connection of the power module 2. Specifically, as an example, the bracket 51 can include a main connecting rod arranged along the height direction of the power module 2 (as shown in the figure, not marked in the figure), and a plurality of auxiliary connecting rods (as shown in the figure, not marked in the figure) are further provided. The auxiliary connecting rods form a plurality of spaces for accommodating each power module 2 on both sides of the main connecting rod, so that the power modules 2 are formed into two or more columns stacked along the height direction of the cabinet 1 through the bracket 5. The reinforcement portion 51 can be arranged on the rear side of the main connecting rod and / or the auxiliary connecting rod (i.e., the side away from the control panel). Optionally, it can be set to a cross shape or other shapes, or a reinforcement portion can be formed along the main connecting rod so as to increase its thickness.

[0038] In addition, the above-mentioned bracket 5 or reinforcement part can be fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet 1 by bolts, the power module 2 and the bracket 5 can also be fixed by bolts, or can be directly supported by the bracket, and other methods can also be used to achieve a detachable connection inside the cabinet 1, including but not limited to snap-on, setting an auxiliary connection device, etc. Through the bracket 5, other modules inside the cabinet 1 can also be stably connected and easy to disassemble, so as to adjust the distribution of each module in the cabinet 1 according to the actual application scenario.

[0039] As described above, the control panel 21 is located on the front side of the cabinet 1 to facilitate manual operation to control the use status of each module in the cabinet 1, or to connect other external modules or devices through the power interface. In a preferred embodiment, the power module 2 is provided with a handle 22 on one side of the control panel 21. The handle 22 is perpendicular to the surface of the power module 2. Optionally, two handles can be provided on both sides of the control panel 21 to facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the power module 2, which is convenient and labor-saving. When disassembly is required, the power module 2 can be moved out of the bracket by the handle 22.

[0040] In this embodiment, the water distributor 3 is arranged on the side of the power module 2 away from the control panel 21, so a pipe interface 23 is provided on the side of the power module 2 away from the control panel 21 to connect the pipe to the water distributor 3, which is conducive to shortening the length of the pipe between the water distributor 3 and each power module 2, thereby reducing heat loss, and also reducing the distribution of pipes in the cabinet 1, saving space. Further, in a preferred embodiment, the water distributor 3 includes water distribution interfaces 31 corresponding to each power module 2; each of the water distribution interfaces 31 can also be arranged to be stacked and arranged in multiple rows along the height direction of the cabinet 1. In the above embodiment, the water distributor 3 is used to distribute the heat dissipation liquid input of the pipes connected to each power module 2, so each water distribution interface 31 corresponds to the pipe connected to a power module 2, and the water distributor 3 is arranged in a similar distribution mode to the power module 2, that is, it is stacked and arranged in multiple rows along the height direction of the cabinet 1. On the one hand, it can save the space occupied by the water distributor 3, and on the other hand, it can make each water distribution interface 31 correspond to the power module 2 at the corresponding position, so that the pipe connection is arranged regularly, and the problem of increased safety hazards caused by the interlacing of multiple pipes is reduced. As an option, the water distributor 3 can be arranged in two rows corresponding to the power modules 2. Considering the space occupied, it can also be arranged in multiple rows to facilitate pipeline connection and use.

[0041] Based on the above, in this embodiment, the water distributor 3 is integrated to shorten the heat dissipation path and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of heat dissipation ports 6 are provided on the side wall of the cabinet 1, wherein each of the heat dissipation ports 6 is arranged to be inclined in a certain direction, forming a heat dissipation surface in the form of a louver on the side wall of the cabinet 1. Optionally, each of the heat dissipation ports 6 can be arranged to be inclined in the same direction, such as inclined toward the top wall / bottom wall of the cabinet 1, or a part of each of the heat dissipation ports 6 can be arranged to be inclined in different directions, such as forming an arrangement that is circumferentially inclined toward the outside of the cabinet 1. Optionally, the heat dissipation port 6 is arranged on the side surface opposite to the through hole 4 through which the inlet and outlet water pipes connected to the water distributor 3 pass, so that the arrangement of the heat dissipation port 6 will not affect the use of the water distributor 3, thereby improving the safety of the use process.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, universal wheels 7 are also provided on the cabinet body 1, and the universal wheels 7 are provided at the four corners of the bottom wall of the cabinet body 1 to facilitate manual movement of the electrical cabinet and meet the use requirements of different scenarios. The universal wheels 7 can adopt including but not limited to self-locking universal wheels to improve the stability of the cabinet body 1 during use.

[0043] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention have better practicability and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Any technician familiar with the field may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent effective embodiment. However, any modification or equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
