Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and to provide a marine diesel engine side control box. The marine diesel engine side control box can adjust the installation height of the control box through a bracket to be suitable for more diesel engines of different sizes, and the internal components of the control box are cooled by a cooling fan, so the heat dissipation efficiency is high.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A ship diesel engine side control box is used to control the ship diesel engine, comprising a control cabinet, a bracket and a cooling fan, wherein the bracket comprises a first connecting member, a second connecting member and a support leg, the first connecting member being mounted on the second connecting member by means of bolts; the support leg is provided with two positioning screw holes, and the bracket is mounted and fixed on the horizontal plane of the ship through the positioning screw holes of the support leg; a connecting plate is provided on the upper part of the bracket, the connecting plate is connected to the first connecting member through screw holes, the control cabinet is mounted on the bracket through the connecting plate, and the cooling fan is mounted on the back of the control cabinet.

[0007] Furthermore, the bracket includes a first bracket and a second bracket, a connecting rod is provided between the first bracket and the second bracket, the connecting rod connects the first bracket and the second bracket through bolts, and the first connecting member and the second connecting member are also connected together through the connecting rod.

[0008] The frame structure formed by the first and second brackets, along with the use of connecting rods, enhances the overall stability and rigidity of the control box. This design effectively disperses and withstands external forces from all directions, such as vibration and shaking during navigation, thereby protecting the internal electronic equipment from damage. The use of bolted connections makes bracket assembly and adjustment more flexible and simple. The distance and angle between the brackets can be adjusted to suit different installation environments while ensuring stable installation. This design is conducive to rapid positioning and adjustment of on-site installation, reducing installation time and cost. The design concept of connecting the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece through a connecting rod embodies the modular concept, which means that when maintaining or replacing parts, the damaged part can be replaced in a targeted manner without replacing the entire bracket system, reducing maintenance costs and improving the maintainability and upgrade potential of the system. Through the precisely designed bracket structure, the limited space inside the ship or on the deck can be effectively utilized to ensure that the control box is stable after installation and does not hinder the operation of other equipment or the passage of personnel, optimize the space layout, and improve the overall utilization efficiency.
