[0002] Most pharmaceutical manufacturing companies have large equipment rooms to meet the process requirements, such as steam cooling and pressure reduction equipment rooms, boiler equipment rooms, chiller high-pressure distribution rooms, and steam heat exchange rooms. The operation of the equipment will generate a lot of heat, and the rooms are in a high temperature state all year round. At present, most process equipment needs to be equipped with PLC control cabinets to control the operation status of the equipment, and the PLC control cabinets have high requirements for the ambient temperature. Most PLC control cabinets operate in a high temperature environment, which easily causes the number of PLC control cabinet failures to grow exponentially. Failure of the PLC control cabinet will affect the stability of the operation of the plant's process equipment and cause greater production risks.

[0003] Traditional PLC control cabinets use fans integrated in the cabinets to cool down and dissipate heat. Since the temperature in the high-temperature machine room is high and the PLC control cabinet does not produce volatile substances to undergo phase change to take away heat during operation, the fan can only play the role of air circulation. It is difficult to effectively cool down the inside of the PLC control cabinet when the ambient temperature is high, so the cooling effect is not ideal. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a cooling mechanism for a PLC control cabinet in a high-temperature machine room in view of the above problems.

[0011] In the above-mentioned cooling mechanism of the PLC control cabinet in a high-temperature machine room, the axial flow fan is powered by the PLC control cabinet.

[0012] In the above-mentioned cooling mechanism for a PLC control cabinet in a high-temperature machine room, an exhaust system is provided in the high-temperature machine room, and the air pressure range in the high-temperature machine room is -50 to -80 Pa.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a cooling mechanism for a PLC control cabinet in a high-temperature machine room includes a PLC control cabinet 2 arranged in a high-temperature machine room 1, an upper end of the PLC control cabinet 2 is connected to an open air inlet channel 3, and one end of the open air inlet channel 3 is connected to a low-temperature machine room 4 located next to the high-temperature machine room 1, an axial flow fan 5 is arranged in the open air inlet channel 3, and the axial flow fan 5 is started and stopped by a temperature control component 6 arranged in the PLC control cabinet 2.

[0022] The high temperature machine room 1 and the low temperature machine room 4 are separated by a wall 7 , an open air inlet passage 3 is passed through the wall 7 , and the axial flow fan 5 is arranged in the open air inlet passage 3 and located at the wall 7 .

[0023] One end of the open air inlet passage 3 located in the low-temperature machine room 4 is an air inlet 31 , and a nylon filter and shutters are arranged at the air inlet 31 .

[0024] The air entering the PLC control cabinet 2 needs to be filtered through a nylon mesh filter. Since most of the power comes from the air flow generated by the pressure difference, it is a green and pollution-free power source, and at the same time the energy-saving effect is also excellent.

[0025] The open air inlet channel 3 is located at one end of the high temperature machine room 1 and penetrates the PLC control cabinet 2 , and the end thereof is an air outlet 32 ​​, and the air outlet 32 ​​faces the PLC heating element 21 in the PLC control cabinet 2 .

[0026] The air outlet 32 ​​arranged toward the PLC heating element 21 can quickly cool down the PLC control cabinet 2 .

[0027] The temperature control component 6 includes a temperature sensor 61 . The temperature sensor 61 is disposed on the upper side of the PLC control cabinet 2 , and the temperature sensor 61 is connected to the main control module 62 .

[0028] The axial flow fan 5 is turned on and off by a fan control switch 63 , and the fan control switch 63 is connected to the main control module 62 .

[0029] When the temperature sensor 61 detects that the temperature inside the PLC control cabinet 2 has an increasing trend, the axial flow fan 5 is turned on to force an increase in the ventilation frequency to ensure that when the temperature in the low-temperature machine room 4 rises or the pressure difference on both sides of the wall 7 decreases, the heat exchange in the PLC control cabinet 2 is weakened, so as to ensure that the temperature in the PLC control cabinet 2 does not rise significantly.

[0030] The axial flow fan 5 is powered by the PLC control cabinet 2. The PLC control cabinet 2 is provided with a power supply to power the axial flow fan 5.

[0031] An exhaust system is provided in the high temperature machine room 1 , and the air pressure range in the high temperature machine room 1 is -50 to -80 Pa, and the air pressure range in the low temperature machine room 4 is greater than that in the high temperature machine room 1 .

[0032] The exhaust system is usually in the open state to create a negative pressure environment in the high-temperature machine room 1, so as to allow the inflow of low-temperature air. The low-temperature air enters the PLC control cabinet 2 through the open air inlet channel 3 for cooling.

[0033] The negative pressure conditions in the low-temperature machine room 4 and the high-temperature machine room 1 are utilized to create conditions for low-temperature air flow to cool down the PLC control cabinet 2.

[0034] The axial flow fan 5 is a small axial flow fan 5 and is usually in a closed state.

[0035] When selecting the axial flow fan 5 , the appropriate air volume and air pressure are selected according to the size of the PLC control cabinet 2 and the length of the open air inlet channel 3 .

[0036] In summary, the principle of this embodiment is: by adding an open air inlet channel 3 to the traditional PLC control cabinet 2 to connect to the low-temperature machine room 4, the temperature difference between the high and low temperature areas and the negative pressure in the high-temperature machine room 1 are used to create the conditions for low-temperature air flow, so as to cool down the PLC control cabinet 2. When the temperature sensor 61 detects that the temperature has an upward trend, the axial flow fan 5 is turned on to force the ventilation frequency to increase, so as to ensure that when the temperature of the low-temperature machine room 4 rises, or when the pressure difference between the two sides decreases, the heat exchange in the PLC control cabinet 2 is weakened, so as to ensure that the temperature of the PLC control cabinet 2 will not rise significantly.

[0037] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0038] Although this article uses more terms such as high temperature machine room 1, PLC control cabinet 2, PLC heating element 21, open air inlet channel 3, air inlet 31, air outlet 32, low temperature machine room 4, axial flow fan 5, temperature control component 6, temperature sensor 61, main control module 62, fan control switch 63, wall 7, etc., it does not exclude the possibility of using other terms. The use of these terms is only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the utility model; interpreting them as any additional restrictions is contrary to the spirit of the utility model.
