DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The following will be combined with the implementation of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the implementation of the utility model. Obviously, the described implementation is only a part of the implementation of the utility model, not all of the implementations. Based on the implementation of the utility model, all other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a dehumidification device for an outdoor electrical equipment box of the utility model comprises a box body 1, a valve 2, a fan 3, a rainwater collection component 4 and a control component 5.
[0028] The box 1 is an electrical equipment box installed outdoors, usually with a door that can be opened and closed, so the box 1 is not a completely sealed environment, which makes it easy for moisture from the outside environment to enter the box 1 in rainy days. Combined with the heat generated by the operation of the electrical equipment inside the box 1, the humidity inside the box 1 will increase significantly. A window 101 is opened on one side of the box 1, and a fan 3 is usually installed inside the window 101 for heat dissipation and dehumidification.
[0029] The valve 2 is arranged in the box body 1 and located inside the window 101 . The valve 2 moves relative to the box body 1 and opens or closes the window 101 . The valve 2 can be closely attached to the inner wall of the box body 1 .
[0030] The fan 3 is disposed in the housing 1 and performs air convection inside and outside the housing 1 through the window 101 .
[0031] The rainwater collecting assembly 4 is arranged on the top of the box 1 and collects rainwater. In a rainy environment, rainwater will naturally fall into the rainwater collecting assembly 4, and the weight of the rainwater collecting assembly 4 will increase; and when it becomes a sunny environment, the rainwater in the rainwater collecting assembly 4 will gradually evaporate, and the weight of the rainwater collecting assembly 4 will decrease.
[0032] The control component 5 is connected to the valve 2 and the rainwater collection component 4. The control component 5 drives the valve 2 to open under the gravity of the rainwater, or drives the valve 2 to close after the rainwater evaporates. It should be noted that the control component 5 can also control the opening and closing of the fan 3 at the same time. When the valve 2 is opened, the fan 3 is also turned on, and when the valve 2 is closed, the fan 3 is also turned off; the fan 3 can also be controlled to open and close by another control system, so as to achieve normal opening or normal closing or regular intermittent opening and closing.
[0033] exist Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment shown, in order to drive the valve 2 to move, a driving assembly 6 is also included.
[0034] The driving component 6 is connected to the valve 2 and drives the valve 2 to move relative to the box 1 . The driving component 6 is electrically connected to the control component 5 and is started or stopped under the action of the control component 5 .
[0035] exist Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment shown, in order to effectively collect rainwater, the rainwater collection assembly 4 includes a sliding pin 41 , a collection bowl 42 and an elastic member 43 .
[0036] A slot 102 is formed on the top of the box body 1 in a vertical direction along the horizontal plane.
[0037] One end of the sliding pin 41 is inserted into the slot 102 and the other end extends away from the box body 1 to the outside of the box body 1. The sliding pin 41 moves along the slot 102 and connects with the control component 5 or disconnects from the control component 5, so that the control component 5 controls the drive component 6 to open or close.
[0038] The collecting bowl 42 is arranged in the sliding pin 41 and moves synchronously with the sliding pin 41, and the collecting bowl 42 receives the rainwater that falls naturally. A step is also arranged around the slot 102 on the box body 1 to limit the moving distance of the sliding pin 41 and to support the collecting bowl 42.
[0039] The elastic member 43 is disposed between the collection bowl 42 and the top of the box body 1, and its two ends are respectively connected to the bottom surface of the collection bowl 42 and the top surface of the box body 1. The elastic member 43 is elastically compressed when rainwater is contained in the collection bowl 42, and pushes the collection bowl 42 to return to its original position after the rainwater in the collection bowl 42 evaporates. The elastic member 43 may be a spring.
[0040] exist Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment shown, in order to drive the valve 2 to rise and fall, the driving assembly 6 includes a screw 61 , a slider 62 , a slave gear 63 , a motor 64 and a master gear 65 .
[0041] Among them, at least one screw 61 is set on the inner wall of the box body 1 and located on one side of the window 101. The two ends of the screw 61 extend along the vertical direction of the horizontal plane and are respectively axially connected to the box body 1; but the screws 61 are usually symmetrically set on both sides of the window 101.
[0042] The slider 62 is fixed on the side of the valve 2 , and the slider 62 is screwed onto the screw rod 61 and moves along the screw rod 61 .
[0043] The slave gear 63 is disposed at one end of the screw rod 61 and rotates axially synchronously with the screw rod 61 .
[0044] The motor 64 is disposed in the housing 1 and has an output terminal. The motor 64 can be a rotary motor.
[0045] The main gear 65 is disposed on the output end of the motor 64 and is driven by the motor 64 to rotate axially. The main gear 65 cooperates with the slave gear 63 .
[0046] When the above technical solution is adopted, the motor 64 starts and drives the main gear 65 to drive the slave gear 63 to rotate, and the screw 61 rotates along the axis of the slave gear 63. Since the slider 62 is threadedly connected to the screw 61, and the valve 2 fixed to the slider 62 restricts the slider 62 from rotating synchronously with the screw 61, the slider 62 will drive the valve 2 to rise and fall along the screw 61; the driving direction of the motor 64 is changed by changing the flow direction of the current inside the motor 64, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the valve 2.
[0047] exist Figure 7 In a preferred embodiment shown, the combination Figure 4 In order to control the direction of the current inside the motor 64 and control the valve 2 to move with the movement of the sliding pin 41, the control component 5 includes a power supply 51, a first circuit branch 52, a second circuit branch 53, a first travel switch 54, a second travel switch 55 and a third travel switch 56.
[0048] The power source 51 is arranged in the box body 1. The power source 51 can be a storage battery.
[0049] The motor 64 is electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the power source 51 through the first circuit branch 52 , and the motor 64 is electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the power source 51 in reverse direction through the second circuit branch 53 .
[0050] The first travel switch 54 is disposed on the inner wall of the slot 102 .
[0051] A notch 401 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the insertion end of the sliding pin 41, and the sliding pin 41 moves along the direction of the insertion slot 102 and triggers the first travel switch 54 to connect the first circuit branch 52, and the notch 401 is aligned with the first travel switch 54. The top and bottom inner walls of the notch 401 can be set as inclined surfaces or convex arc surfaces, so as to effectively trigger the first travel switch 54.
[0052] The sliding pin 41 moves in the direction of disengaging the slot 102 and triggers the first travel switch 54 again to connect the second circuit branch 53, and the first travel switch 54 is spaced apart from the insertion end of the sliding pin 41. The bottom of the sliding pin 41 can be set as a ball head or a cone head so that the first travel switch 54 can be effectively triggered.
[0053] The second travel switch 55 and the third travel switch 56 are respectively arranged on the inner wall of the box body 1 , and the second travel switch 55 and the third travel switch 56 are respectively arranged at two ends of the moving path of the valve 2 , and the second travel switch 55 is arranged above the third travel switch 56 .
[0054] The valve 2 moves toward the second travel switch 55 and triggers the second travel switch 55 to disconnect the first circuit branch 52 ; the valve 2 moves toward the third travel switch 56 and triggers the third travel switch 56 to disconnect the second circuit branch 53 .
[0055] When the above technical solution is adopted, in a rainy day environment, the rainwater collected in the collecting bowl 42 increases the weight, causing the sliding pin 41 to move downward and trigger the first stroke switch 54 for the first time. The first stroke switch 54 connects the first circuit branch 52 to connect the power supply 51 to the motor 64, and the motor 64 drives the valve 2 to rise until the valve 2 triggers the second stroke switch 55. The second stroke switch 55 disconnects the first circuit branch 52 to disconnect the power supply 51 from the motor 64; in a rainy or sunny day environment, the rainwater in the collecting bowl 42 gradually evaporates to reduce the weight, the elastic member 43 pushes the sliding pin 41 to rise and reset and trigger the first stroke switch 54 for the second time. The first stroke switch 54 connects the second circuit branch 53 and disconnects the first circuit branch 52, and also causes the power supply 51 to reversely connect the motor 64. The motor 64 flips and drives the valve 2 to descend until the valve 2 triggers the third stroke switch 56. The third stroke switch 56 disconnects the first circuit branch 52 to disconnect the power supply 51 from the motor 64. It should be noted that it is a common function of the travel switch that the first travel switch 54 is triggered twice and connected to different circuit branches respectively, so the principle and specific circuit structure of the travel switch having the function of switching circuit branches are not described in detail here.
[0056] exist Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment shown, in order to prevent foreign matter from entering the collection bowl 42 and causing the sliding pin 41 to be unable to return to its original position after moving downward, the rainwater collection assembly 4 also includes a cover 44.
[0057] The cover body 44 is disposed on the collection bowl 42 , and mesh holes are evenly arranged on the cover body 44 , so the cover body 44 has a filtering capability to prevent external debris from entering the collection bowl 42 .
[0058] exist Figure 6In a preferred embodiment shown, the cover body 44 is hemispherical, so that foreign debris falling onto the cover body 44 will be bounced aside, allowing rainwater to enter the collection bowl 42 normally.
[0059] exist Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment shown, in order to prevent foreign matter from entering the box body 1 , a filter screen 7 is further included, and the filter screen 7 is arranged in the window 101 .
[0060] exist Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment shown, in order to prevent rainwater from flowing into the box body 1 through the window 101 along the outer wall of the box body 1, a shielding plate 8 is also included.
[0061] One end of the shielding plate 8 is disposed on the top of the window 101 and the other end thereof extends horizontally in a direction away from the window 101 .
[0062] exist Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment shown, a sealing ring 9 is also included.
[0063] The sealing ring 9 is arranged around the end edge of the valve plate facing the window 101 , and the sealing ring 9 is closely attached to the inner wall of the box body 1 , so that when the valve 2 is closed, it can prevent foreign matter from entering the box body 1 .
[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
