[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means a limitation on the utility model and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an electrical cabinet, which includes a cabinet body 10, a partition 20, a first fan 30 and a heat exchanger 40. The cabinet body 10 has a accommodating chamber 11. The partition 20 is arranged in the accommodating chamber 11 to separate the accommodating chamber 11 into a first chamber 111 and a second chamber 112. The partition 20 has a first opening 21 and a second opening 22. The first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 are connected to each other through the first opening 21 and the second opening 22. The first fan 30 is arranged at the first opening 21 to drive the gas to flow between the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112. The heat exchanger 40 is arranged on the first fan 30, and the heat exchanger 40 can cool down the accommodating chamber 11. Among them, the accommodating chamber 11 is a sealed space.

[0034] By applying the technical solution of the present application, the partition 20 is arranged in the accommodating chamber 11, and the partition 20 is provided with a first opening 21 and a second opening 22, the first fan 30 is arranged at the first opening 21, the heat exchanger 40 is arranged on the first fan 30, the first fan 30 can drive the flow in the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112, and the heat exchanger 40 can cool down the accommodating chamber 11. In addition, since the accommodating chamber 11 is a sealed space, the heat dissipation effect in the accommodating chamber 11 is less affected by the outside air, and the accommodating chamber 11 mainly relies on the heat exchanger 40 for heat exchange. The staff can select the temperature of the coolant in the heat exchanger 40 according to the heat dissipation requirements, so as to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the electrical cabinet, and then ensure the normal operation of the electrical cabinet, avoid the damage of the components in the electrical cabinet due to excessive temperature, increase the service life of the electrical cabinet, and avoid safety accidents.

[0035] The first chamber 111 has a first air duct, the second chamber 112 has a second air duct, one end of the first air duct is connected to one end of the second air duct through the first opening 21, and the other end of the first air duct is connected to the other end of the second air duct through the second opening 22. The first fan 30 drives the gas to flow between the first air duct and the second air duct. In this way, when the air flows in the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112, the air flow path is a circulation air duct, which can optimize the circulation channel and avoid interference between multiple air ducts, thereby further ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the electrical cabinet.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the partition 20 extends in the vertical direction, and the first opening 21 and the second opening 22 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the partition 20 along the extension direction of the partition 20. Such an arrangement can increase the flow path of the first air duct and the second air duct, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect between the heat exchanger 40 and the air in the electrical cabinet.

[0037] Further, the first fan 30 has an air inlet side and an air outlet side that are relatively arranged, and the air outlet side of the first fan 30 corresponds to the second air duct. The electrical cabinet also includes a second fan 50, which is located at the second opening 22. The second fan 50 has an air inlet side and an air outlet side that are relatively arranged, and the air outlet side of the second fan 50 corresponds to the first air duct. With such an arrangement, the first fan 30 can drive the gas to flow from the first air duct to the second air duct, and the second fan 50 can drive the gas to flow from the second air duct to the first air duct. The cooperation between the first fan 30 and the second fan 50 can speed up the flow speed of the air in the electrical cabinet, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect of the electrical cabinet.

[0038] In the prior art, when the electrical cabinet is running, a large amount of heat is generated due to the thermal effect of the current, which causes the temperature of the components in the electrical cabinet to rise. Among them, the electrical cabinet mainly consists of two parts: the grid cabinet and the control cabinet. The main heating components of the grid cabinet are the frame circuit breaker, contactor and its connecting copper busbar, and the components have high temperature resistance; the control cabinet mainly generates heat from some components such as the control board, relays and UPS, which requires a lower temperature environment.

[0039] In the present application, the first chamber 111 is a power cabinet, and the second chamber 112 is a control cabinet. In addition, the first opening 21 is arranged at the top of the partition 20, and the second opening 22 is arranged at the bottom of the partition 20. In this way, the first fan 30 can drive the cold air cooled by the heat exchanger 40 to flow downward into the second air duct, and then the air flows into the first air duct through the second opening 22. In this way, the circulating air duct generated has the same movement direction as the cold and hot air inside the electrical cabinet, and the cold air can flow through the components more evenly, further improving the heat dissipation effect of the electrical cabinet. The above structure can simultaneously meet the low temperature environment requirements of the control cabinet and the heat dissipation requirements of the power cabinet, and the number of fans and heat exchangers 40 used is small, reducing the heat dissipation cost.

[0040] The heat exchanger 40 has an air inlet side and an air outlet side, the first fan 30 is arranged on the air outlet side of the heat exchanger 40, and the heat exchanger 40 is located in the second chamber 112. In the present application, the cooled gas first flows from the top of the second chamber 112 to the bottom of the second chamber 112, then flows to the bottom of the first chamber 111 through the second opening 22, and then flows to the top of the first chamber 111, and finally flows to the first opening 21 for cooling, thereby completing a cooling cycle. The first fan 30 can drive the gas to flow from the first chamber 111 to the second chamber 112. The second fan 50 can drive the gas to flow from the second chamber 112 to the first chamber 111.

[0041] Specifically, the first fan 30 is a centrifugal fan disposed in the second chamber 112 ; the second fan 50 is an axial flow fan disposed in the first chamber 111 .

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the heat exchanger 40 has a shell 41, the shell 41 has a gas flow channel 411 and a refrigerant flow channel, a plurality of fins 412 are arranged on the shell 41, and the plurality of fins 412 are arranged at intervals in the gas flow channel 411, each fin 412 has a heat exchange flow channel, and the heat exchange flow channel of each fin 412 is connected to the refrigerant flow channel, and a liquid inlet 413 and a liquid outlet 414 are arranged on the shell 41, and the liquid inlet 413 and the liquid outlet 414 are evenly connected to the refrigerant flow channel. The coolant can enter the refrigerant flow channel through the liquid inlet 413 and then flow out through the liquid outlet 414. With such a configuration, the air can be cooled when it flows through the fins 412, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect between the coolant and the air. At the same time, such a configuration can ensure the smoothness of gas circulation and avoid gas blockage.

[0043] Furthermore, the electrical cabinet further includes a water receiving tank 60, which is disposed below the heat exchanger 40 and is disposed corresponding to the liquid inlet 413 and the liquid outlet 414. This arrangement can prevent the coolant from dripping into the second chamber 112, thereby preventing the coolant from affecting the normal operation of the components in the second chamber 112. In addition, a water outlet is disposed at the bottom of the water receiving tank 60 to discharge the coolant in the water receiving tank 60.

[0044] Specifically, an air guide plate 71 is provided on the air outlet side of the second fan 50, and the air guide plate 71 gradually tilts upward in a direction away from the second fan 50. This arrangement facilitates air to flow from the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11 to the top of the accommodating cavity 11, further improving the air flow rate, thereby further improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0045] A turbulent fan 72 is provided in the first chamber 111 to dissipate heat from the first chamber 111. In this way, the turbulent fan 72 can dissipate heat again for the main heating elements in the grid cabinet, such as the copper busbar or the frame circuit breaker, to avoid the insufficient heat dissipation effect of the heat exchanger 40, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect of the electrical cabinet.

[0046] Specifically, a protective net 73 is provided on the air inlet side of the second fan 50, and the air inlet side of the second fan 50 is provided corresponding to the second chamber 112. Such a configuration can protect the staff from being scratched when the staff operates the components in the second chamber 112, thereby ensuring the safety of the staff.

[0047] like Figure 7As shown, the electrical cabinet further includes a connector 80, and the connector 80 includes a first connector plate 81 and a second connector plate 82. The first connector plate 81 is fixedly connected to the heat exchanger 40, and the second connector plate 82 is fixedly connected to the first fan 30 and the heat exchanger 40. The first connector plate 81 is provided with a plurality of first connecting holes 811, and the first connector plate 81 is fixedly connected to the heat exchanger 40 through the first connecting holes 811. The second connector plate 82 is provided with a plurality of second connecting holes 821, and the second connector plate 82 is connected to the first fan 30 and the heat exchanger 40 through the second connecting holes 821. With such a configuration, the structure is simple, and it is convenient to fix the first fan 30 on the heat exchanger 40. Moreover, in the present application, the electrical cabinet includes two connectors 80, and the two connectors 80 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the first fan 30. With such a configuration, the stability of the first fan 30 being fixed on the heat exchanger 40 can be ensured, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the first fan 30 and the heat exchanger 40.
