Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technology of shore container cranes, and more specifically, to an outdoor module box with a cooling system. Background Art

[0002] The function of the outdoor module box is to serve as a remote site for the shore bridge PLC to collect signals from surrounding sensors. Ordinary outdoor module boxes are generally made of stainless steel boxes. For outdoor module boxes at docks in tropical regions, there is no internal heat dissipation system. Therefore, for projects in tropical regions, there has always been a problem that the internal components of the outdoor module box will overheat. In this case, the outdoor module box is usually moved into an air-conditioned room, but this will cause problems such as too long cables, overcrowding in the air-conditioned room, and too high costs. Therefore, it is particularly important to install an outdoor module box with temperature regulation function outdoors. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] Aiming at the above-mentioned defects existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an outdoor module box with a cooling system, so that the equipment in the outdoor module box can work normally in a hot environment by installing a refrigeration system and temperature regulation limit in the outdoor module box.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] An outdoor module box with a cooling system, comprising a box body, an air conditioner and a temperature and humidity detection sensor;

[0006] The air conditioner is installed through the box body on the side of the box body to reduce the temperature inside the box body;

[0007] The temperature and humidity detection sensor is arranged inside the box body and establishes data communication with the main PLC of the shore bridge;

[0008] The air conditioner is an integrated air conditioner, and the controller on the air conditioner establishes a control connection with the main control PLC of the shore bridge.

[0009] Preferably, there are 2 air conditioners.

[0010] Preferably, the air outlet on the air conditioner is located inside the box body.

[0011] Preferably, there is also a communication interface on the main unit of the air conditioner;

[0012] The communication interface establishes data communication with the main control PLC of the shore bridge.

[0013] The outdoor module box with a cooling system provided by the present utility model can combine the characteristics of the hot climate and long direct sunlight time at the on-site dock. When the outdoor module box is inevitably exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, by installing an air conditioner and a temperature and humidity detection sensor inside the box, the equipment inside the box can work normally in a hot environment.

[0017] In order to better understand the above technical solutions of the present utility model, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0018] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 shown, an outdoor module box with a cooling system provided by the present utility model includes a box body 1, an air conditioner 3, and a temperature and humidity detection sensor 2.

[0019] The air conditioner 3 is installed on the side of the box body 1 through the body.

[0020] The temperature and humidity detection sensor 2 is installed inside the box body 1 and establishes data communication with the main control PLC of the quay crane.

[0021] The air conditioner 3 adopts an integrated air conditioner, and the controller on the air conditioner 3 establishes a control connection with the main control PLC of the quay crane.

[0022] There are 2 air conditioners 3. The power of the air conditioners 3 needs to consider the total heat generated by the components inside the box body 1 and the heat generated by direct sunlight outdoors. The air conditioners 3 are installed on the side of the box body 1 and are directly installed by drilling holes. The installation position of the air conditioners 3 needs to consider the quantity and position of the components inside the box body 1 at the same time, with the principle that the air outlet of the air conditioner 3 is not blocked by the components, to control the temperature inside the box body 1 and prevent the equipment from overheating.

[0023] To prevent excessive humidity, a temperature and humidity detection sensor 2 is installed inside the cabinet 1. When the temperature and humidity detection sensor 2 detects that the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet 1 exceed the set value, it will send a fault signal to the main control PLC of the quay crane. The main control PLC of the quay crane closes the controller 4 on the air conditioner 3, causing the air conditioner 3 to start running. When the temperature and humidity detection sensor 2 detects that the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet 1 are lower than the critical value, the main control PLC of the quay crane will close the controller 4 on the air conditioner 3 after a 30-minute delay, causing the air conditioner 3 to stop working. The 30-minute delay can effectively avoid the frequent startup of the air conditioner 3. The above process loops continuously. By means of the temperature and humidity detection sensor 2, the constant temperature and humidity of the outdoor module box of the present invention are controlled, and the service life of the components is extended.

[0024] There is also a communication interface on the main unit of the air conditioner 3. The communication interface establishes data communication with the main control PLC of the quay crane, enabling the main control PLC to read the status of the air conditioner 3, such as whether the air conditioner 3 is overheated, whether the compressor of the air conditioner 3 is normal, the operating time of the air conditioner 3, etc. And based on these parameters, combined with factors such as the equipment operation time, the local weather at the dock, and the sunrise and sunset time, the operating time of the air conditioner 3 is controlled.

[0025] The conventional setting modes of the outdoor module box of the present invention are as follows:

[0026] 1) Periodic switching mode: Two air conditioners 3 are installed on the cabinet 1, and the two air conditioners 3 work alternately. The working time of each air conditioner 3 is 1 week. The advantage of this is that the working time of each air conditioner 3 is relatively balanced, extending the service life of the air conditioner 3.

[0027] 2) Redundant mode: Usually, one air conditioner 3 works alone, and the other air conditioner 3 is in standby mode. When one air conditioner 3 breaks down, the other air conditioner 3 can automatically switch to the working state, thus ensuring that the quay crane can continue to work normally.

[0028] Periodic switching mode, redundant mode, etc. can also be set between the two air conditioners 3.

[0029] Those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. As long as within the scope of the essential spirit of the present invention, changes and variations of the above-described embodiments will fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
