Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrical equipment, in particular to an electrical switch cabinet. Background Art

[0002] As the load of the electrical switch cabinet increases, the current passing through the busbar in the switch cabinet becomes larger and larger. Due to factors such as the oxidation of the contact surface between the busbars, the contact resistance increases, and the aging of the components, the operating temperature of the busbar rises sharply under heavy load. Although the busbar contact surface can be treated to reduce the contact resistance or replace some aging components, and further reduce the busbar or component temperature. However, this treatment requires the switch cabinet to be shut down. If the switch cabinet is in operation and there is no plan to stop production, the shutdown of the switch cabinet will cause huge economic losses. In order to dissipate the heat of the electric cabinet, the invention patent with application number CN202110333792.4 discloses a self-heating substation cabinet, which belongs to the field of power distribution equipment technology. The self-heating transformer cabinet includes a main body, which is provided with a heat dissipation port 1 and a heat dissipation port 2, and the heat dissipation port 1 and the heat dissipation port 2 are respectively provided with a heat dissipation plate 1 and a heat dissipation plate 2, and the inner bottom wall and the inner top wall of the main body installation cavity are provided with a pushing mechanism for pushing the heat dissipation plate 1 and the heat dissipation plate 2 to move; the heat dissipation plate 1 is provided with a heat dissipation hole 1, the heat dissipation plate 1 is provided with an inner baffle plate 1, the inner baffle plate 1 is provided with a heat dissipation hole 2, and the heat dissipation plate 1 is provided with a sliding mechanism 1; the heat dissipation plate 2 is provided with a heat dissipation hole 3, the heat dissipation plate 2 is provided with an inner baffle plate 2, the inner baffle plate 2 is provided with a heat dissipation hole 4, and the heat dissipation plate 2 is provided with a sliding mechanism 2.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An electrical switch cabinet according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises a cabinet body 100, an internal circulation air duct 200, an internal circulation fan 300, a heat dissipation bellows 400 and a heat dissipation fan 500; the cabinet body 100 is equipped with electrical components, an air outlet 110 is arranged at the upper end of the cabinet body 100, an air inlet 120 is arranged at the bottom side wall of the cabinet body 100, and a switch door 130 is movably connected to the front side of the cabinet body 100; the internal circulation air duct 200 is arranged on the outer side of the cabinet body 100, one end of the internal circulation air duct 200 is connected to the air inlet 120, and the other end is connected to the air outlet 110; the internal circulation fan 300 is arranged at the air inlet 120; the heat dissipation bellows 400 is wrapped outside the internal circulation air duct 200, one side of the heat dissipation bellows 400 is provided with an air inlet 410, and the opposite side is provided with an air outlet 420; the heat dissipation fan 500 is arranged at the air inlet 410.

[0030] In actual use, the interior of the cabinet 100 is used to place various electrical components. After closing the switch door 130, the interior of the entire cabinet 100 is a closed space, isolating dust, water vapor, oil, etc. in a harsh environment. At the same time, the internal circulation fan 300 is driven to allow the air in the cabinet 100 to enter the internal circulation duct from the air outlet 110 at the upper end, and then re-enter the cabinet 100 from the air inlet 120 to form an air circulation. Among them, the hot air flowing out of the air outlet 110 will pass through the heat dissipation bellows when passing through the internal circulation air duct 200. 400, the heat dissipation fan 500 in the heat dissipation bellows 400 drives the cold air in the environment to enter from the air inlet 410 and flow out from the air outlet 420. During the flow of the cold air, heat exchange is achieved with the internal circulation air duct 200 inside the heat dissipation bellows 400, causing the hot air in the internal circulation air duct 200 to be cooled. Therefore, the temperature of the air flowing into the cabinet 100 from the air inlet 120 will be much lower than that of the air flowing out from the air outlet 110, and the cold air will fill the interior of the cabinet 100 to cool the electrical components.

[0031] In summary, the air in the cabinet 100 realizes internal circulation and is cooled during the internal circulation process. While cooling the electrical components inside the cabinet 100, it can also isolate the influence of external dust, water vapor, oil pollution, etc.

[0032] It should be mentioned that the density of hot air is less than that of cold air. Therefore, in the sealed cabinet 100, the cold air will naturally sink, and as the electrical components heat up, the hot air will float up, which can further enable most of the hot air to flow into the internal circulation duct at the air outlet 110.

[0033] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 , there are multiple air inlets 410 and heat dissipation fans 500, and the air inlets 410 and heat dissipation fans 500 correspond to each other. The multiple air inlets 410 can each take in air separately, avoiding the situation where some air flows backflow. At the same time, the multiple air inlets 410 are arranged along the extension direction of the inner circulation air duct 200. The amount of air for heat exchange in the inner circulation air duct 200 per unit time is increased, the time for air to be cooled is extended, and the cooling effect is improved. Furthermore, in order to further extend the heat exchange time of the internal air of the inner circulation air duct 200 and ensure that the overall size of the heat dissipation air box 400 is not too large, the part of the inner circulation air duct 200 that passes through the heat dissipation air box 400 is a serpentine structure.

[0034] In order to further improve the arrangement of air entering and exiting the heat dissipation air box 400 , an air outlet grille 421 is provided at the air outlet 420 .

[0035] It is worth mentioning that, refer to Figure 3The internal circulation air duct 200 is equipped with a first temperature probe 210, and a temperature display 140 is arranged on the outside of the cabinet 100. The temperature display 140 is electrically connected to the first temperature probe 210 and outputs the test temperature of the first temperature probe 210. The first temperature probe 210 is arranged between the air inlet 120 and the heat dissipation bellows 400. The first temperature probe 210 is used to detect the temperature of the air inside the cabinet 100 flowing out from the air outlet 110, and provide accurate temperature data to the user in real time through the temperature display 140. On the other hand, the internal circulation air duct 200 is built with a second temperature probe 220. The temperature display 140 is electrically connected to the second temperature probe 220, and outputs the test temperature of the second temperature probe 220. The second temperature probe 220 is arranged between the air inlet 120 and the heat dissipation bellows 400. The second temperature probe 220 is used to detect the temperature of the air that will flow into the cabinet 100 from the air inlet 120 after passing through the heat dissipation bellows 400, and provide accurate temperature data to the user in real time through the temperature display 140. The user can choose whether to turn on the heat dissipation fan 500, or how many heat dissipation fans 500 to turn on, according to the temperatures measured by the first temperature probe 210 and the second temperature probe 220, so as to save energy costs.

[0036] At the same time, in order to further realize the automation of start and stop, the first temperature probe 210 is electrically connected to one of the heat dissipation fans 500 to control the start and stop of the heat dissipation fan 500. When the temperature reaches the preset temperature in the first temperature probe 210, the first temperature probe 210 also acts as a switch to start the heat dissipation fan 500 electrically connected to the first temperature probe 210 and dissipate heat for the flowing air, while the second temperature probe 220 is electrically connected to the remaining heat dissipation fans 500 to control the start and stop of the remaining heat dissipation fans 500. When the temperature detected by the second temperature probe 220 reaches the preset value, the remaining multiple heat dissipation fans 500 are synchronously started to enhance the heat dissipation effect, and while ensuring the heat dissipation effect, the energy consumption utilization rate is ensured. It should be emphasized that the preset temperature T2 of the second temperature probe 220 should be higher than the preset temperature T1 of the first temperature probe 210. After the outflowing air temperature reaches T1, a cooling fan 500 is started. At this time, the temperature passing through the cooling bellows 400 should be reduced. If the cooling capacity is insufficient, the air flowing out of the air outlet 110 will continue to heat up, and after passing through the cooling bellows 400, it will still be higher than when the cooling fan 500 is just started. At this time, if the temperature T2 is reached, multiple cooling fans 500 need to be turned on simultaneously for heat dissipation.

[0037] It should be mentioned that if the heat dissipation efficiency is insufficient, resulting in a continuous rise in the temperature in the cabinet 100, in order to timely dissipate the high-temperature air in the cabinet 100, the cabinet 100 is provided with a third temperature probe 150, and an alarm 151 is provided at the upper end of the cabinet 100, and the third temperature probe 150 and the alarm 151 are electrically connected. When the temperature reaches the preset temperature of the third temperature probe 150, the alarm 151 is directly activated to inform the staff, who immediately shut down the electrical components in the cabinet 100 and open the switch door 130 for heat dissipation to avoid accidents.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
