Embodiment 1
[0030] As Figures 1-4 shown, Embodiment 1 provides a waterproof energy storage cabinet 100. The waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 includes a frame 12 and a mask 11. The mask 11 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the frame 12. And a first waterproof structure 13 is provided on the mask 11. The first waterproof structure 13 is disposed at the connection between the mask 11 and the frame 12. A second waterproof structure 14 is provided on the frame 12. The second waterproof structure 14 is disposed at the connection between the frame 12 and the mask 11. Both the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14 are respectively provided with a connection end and an extension end, that is: the first waterproof structure 13 is provided with a connection end and an extension end, and the second waterproof structure 14 is also provided with a connection end and an extension end. Along the setting direction of the frame 12, the connection end of the first waterproof structure 13 and the connection end of the second waterproof structure 14 are arranged in a staggered manner. The extension end of the first waterproof structure 13 extends towards the second waterproof structure 14, and the extension end of the second waterproof structure 14 extends towards the first waterproof structure 13. At the same time, the extension end of the first waterproof structure 13 and the extension end of the second waterproof structure 14 at least partially overlap in the setting direction of the frame 12.
[0031] Specifically, the setting direction of the frame 12 refers to the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of the frame 12. In the vertical direction, the connection ends of the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14 are arranged in a staggered manner. That is to say, the connection ends of the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14 are located at different heights in the vertical direction. And in the vertical direction, the extending end of the first waterproof structure 13 extends vertically towards the second waterproof structure 14, and the extending end of the second waterproof structure 14 extends vertically towards the first waterproof structure 13. The extending ends of the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14 overlap at least partially in the vertical direction of the frame 12, that is, there is an overlapping area. In the horizontal direction, the connection ends of the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14 are arranged in a staggered manner. That is to say, the connection ends of the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14 are located at different positions in the horizontal direction. And in the horizontal direction, the extending end of the first waterproof structure 13 extends horizontally towards the second waterproof structure 14, and the extending end of the second waterproof structure 14 extends horizontally towards the first waterproof structure 13. The extending ends of the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14 overlap at least partially in the horizontal direction of the frame 12, that is, there is an overlapping area.
[0032] Therefore, by setting the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14, a double waterproof protection is formed at the connection between the mask 11 and the frame 12, forming an effective barrier to effectively prevent moisture from penetrating into the interior of the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 and protecting the items stored inside the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 from getting damp. And the two waterproof structures are arranged in a staggered manner in the setting direction of the frame 12, and their extending ends extend towards each other, so that in the vertical direction of the frame 12, the inner waterproof structure can form a waterproof groove for carrying the moisture that flows into the gap between the mask 11 and the frame 12 but does not enter the interior of the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100, improving the sealing effect of the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100. In addition, the above two waterproof structures have a simple and reliable structure and can be applied to frames 12 and masks 11 of various environments and various materials, improving the environmental adaptability and material compatibility of the waterproof structure.
[0033] And since the opening and closing part is the area of the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 that is most likely to let water in, at least a second waterproof structure 14 is provided on one side of the frame 12 for opening and closing the mask 11, and a first waterproof structure 13 corresponding to the second waterproof structure 14 is provided on the mask 11 for opening and closing. Setting a double waterproof structure here can effectively prevent moisture from entering the cabinet through the opening and closing action.
[0034] In this embodiment, two waterproof structures are provided on the entire periphery of the frame 12. Specifically, on each periphery of the frame 12 and in each direction of each periphery of the frame 12, that is, two waterproof structures are provided on the four sides of each periphery. This can improve the sealing performance of the mask 11 and the frame 12 at the connection in all directions, ensuring that there are waterproof measures in any direction at the connection between the mask 11 and the frame 12, achieving 360-degree waterproof protection. In this way, even under extreme external conditions such as strong wind and heavy rain, a good waterproof effect can be maintained, improving the reliability of the seal of the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100.
[0035] Preferably, the connecting end of the first waterproof structure 13 is provided at the outer edge of the mask 11, and the extending end of the first waterproof structure 13 extends towards the second waterproof structure 14; the connecting end of the second waterproof structure 14 is provided at the inner edge of the frame 12, and the extending end of the second waterproof structure 14 extends towards the first waterproof structure 13. That is to say, along the setting direction of the frame 12, the second waterproof structure 14 is arranged inside the first waterproof structure 13.
[0036] In this way, by setting the connecting end of the first waterproof structure 13 at the outer edge of the mask 11 and the connecting end of the second waterproof structure 14 at the inner edge of the frame 12, a more tightly sealed layer can be formed at the edge, reducing the possibility of water penetration.
[0037] As Figures 2-4 shown, both the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14 are bent structures. The bent structure can form a complex liquid flow path at the connection between the mask 11 and the frame 12, extending the path length of liquid infiltration. In this way, it is more difficult for the liquid to penetrate into the interior of the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100, thereby enhancing the sealing performance.
[0038] In other embodiments, both the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14 can also be arc-shaped fan-shaped structures, that is, the connecting end of the first waterproof structure 13 is connected to the mask 11, the extending end of the first waterproof structure 13 smoothly extends towards the second waterproof structure 14, the connecting end of the second waterproof structure 14 is connected to the frame 12, and the extending end of the second waterproof structure 14 smoothly extends towards the first waterproof structure 13. In this way, a waterproof groove for carrying liquid can also be formed between the second waterproof structure 14 and the frame 12. In other embodiments, the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14 can also be irregular fan-shaped structures or bent structures. Therefore, the specific structural forms of the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14 can be set as required.
[0039] Moreover, in this embodiment, the first waterproof structure 13 and the mask 11 are integrally formed structures, and the second waterproof structure 14 and the frame 12 are also integrally formed structures. In this way, the waterproof structure and the main body structure (the mask 11 or the frame 12) form a continuous whole without seams or gaps, reducing potential water leakage points, thereby improving the sealing performance between the mask 11 and the frame 12. Moreover, the integrally formed structure reduces the assembly steps and enhances the structural strength of itself.
[0040] In other embodiments, the first waterproof structure 13 and the mask 11 can also be detachably connected, and the second waterproof structure 14 and the frame 12 can also be detachably connected. This makes the installation of the waterproof structure more intuitive and simple. The installer can directly operate at the edges of the mask 11 and the frame 12 without a complex alignment process. Therefore, for the installation methods of the two waterproof structures relative to the mask 11 and the frame 12, it can be specifically set according to the structural form of the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 itself and the waterproof requirements as needed.
[0041] In addition, the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 further includes a rubber strip 15. The rubber strip 15 is arranged at the extended end of the first waterproof structure 13 and / or the extended end of the second waterproof structure 14. The rubber strip 15 can fill the tiny gaps, combine with the first waterproof structure 13 and / or the second waterproof structure 14 to form a tighter seal, and effectively prevent the penetration of liquid.
[0042] In this embodiment, the rubber strip 15 is arranged at the extended end of the second waterproof structure 14. In other embodiments, the rubber strip 15 can also be arranged at the extended end of the first waterproof structure 13, or the rubber strip 15 can be arranged at the extended ends of both the first waterproof structure 13 and the second waterproof structure 14. It can be specifically set according to the environment where the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 is located and the sealing requirements as needed.
[0043]
Embodiment 2
[0044] As Figures 5-7 shown, Embodiment 2 provides a fire suppression device 200. The fire suppression device 200 includes a tray 21 and the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 described in Embodiment 1. The tray 21 is arranged at the bottom end of the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 and is used to carry the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100. The fire suppression device 200 adopts the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 described in Embodiment 1. Since the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 can effectively prevent moisture from entering, the electronic components inside the fire suppression device 200 will not malfunction due to water ingress, ensuring that the fire suppression device 200 can operate normally under thermal runaway conditions, thereby improving the reliability of the fire suppression device 200.
[0045] Moreover, the tray 21 is not only used to carry the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100, but also can protect the bottom structure of the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 from being damaged.
[0046] As Figure 7 shown, the tray 21 is provided with blind holes 22 for connecting with rivet nuts. The tray 21 is connected to the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 through rivet nuts. The rivet nuts are fixed in the blind holes 22 by mechanical locking, providing a more secure connection than traditional screws, reducing connection looseness caused by vibration or impact, and improving the stability of the connection between the two. Moreover, the waterproof design of the rivet nuts, combined with the sealing effect of the blind holes 22, further enhances the waterproof ability at the connection point and prevents liquid from penetrating through the connection point.
[0047] As Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, along the vertical direction of the frame 12, the cross-section of the tray 21 is the same as that of the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100. Therefore, a plurality of blind holes 22 are provided, and the plurality of blind holes 22 are arranged at intervals in sequence along the extending direction of the tray 21. Preferably, the plurality of blind holes 22 are all arranged at the top corners of the tray 21. The top corners are relatively strong parts of the tray 21. Therefore, arranging the blind holes 22 at the top corners can enhance the overall stability of the connection between the tray 21 and the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100. Moreover, the distribution of the blind holes 22 at the top corners helps to evenly disperse the weight from the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100, reducing the pressure on a single connection point, thereby improving the load capacity of the tray 21. In addition, the arrangement of the blind holes 22 at the top corners makes the installation of the two more intuitive and convenient, and the installer can quickly locate and complete the installation of the rivet nuts.
[0048] As Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, the tray 21 is further provided with a seal 23. The seal 23 is arranged on the surface of the tray 21 facing the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100 and extends along the extending direction of the tray 21. Specifically, the seal 23 is a sealing strip, which fills the gap at the connection between the tray 21 and the waterproof energy storage cabinet 100, and can effectively prevent liquid from penetrating through these gaps, thereby enhancing the overall waterproof performance. And the sealing strip is easy to install and can be quickly installed on the surface of the tray 21, simplifying the installation steps.
[0049] The above description has fully disclosed the specific embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that any changes made by those skilled in the art to the specific embodiments of the present application do not depart from the scope of the claims of the present application.
