Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of substations, and in particular to a substation relay protection cabinet. Background Art
[0002] In power systems, substations are key nodes for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy, and their stable operation is crucial. Relay protection cabinets, crucial equipment within substations, monitor parameters such as current and voltage in the power system and rapidly disconnect related circuits when an anomaly or fault is detected, protecting the entire power system.
[0003] With the increasing complexity of power systems and the continuous increase in power loads, the number and density of electronic components integrated inside relay protection cabinets have also increased, which has put higher requirements on the heat dissipation performance of relay protection cabinets.
[0004] Currently, commonly used substation relay protection cabinets often feature a compact internal structure. This compact design leads to poor heat dissipation. Electronic components generate significant heat during operation. If this heat cannot be dissipated promptly and effectively, the cabinet's internal temperature will rise, affecting the performance and lifespan of the components and potentially causing failures, jeopardizing the safe and stable operation of the power system.
[0005] In view of the above problems, a substation relay protection cabinet is now designed. Utility Model Content

[0027] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0028] An embodiment of the present application provides a substation relay protection cabinet, which can solve the problem that the substation relay protection cabinet commonly used in the related art is often designed with a relatively compact internal structure, resulting in poor heat dissipation effect of the internal electronic components.
[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 A substation relay protection cabinet includes: a cabinet body 1, a partition 2, two groups of mounting frames 4 and two groups of air supply components 7; the cabinet body 1 has a cavity inside; the partition 2 is arranged in the middle of the cavity inside the cabinet body 1, and the partition 2 divides the cavity to form two mounting chambers 3 arranged front and back; two groups of mounting frames 4 are respectively arranged inside the mounting chamber 3 and are used to install various electronic components; the partition 2 has an air cavity 5 inside, and a number of ventilation holes 6 are opened on both sides of the partition 2. Two groups of air supply components 7 are arranged on the cabinet body 1, and the air supply components 7 are used to send external air into the air cavity 5, spray it out through the ventilation holes 6 and cool the two mounting chambers 3 respectively.
[0030] The interior of the cabinet 1 is divided into two independent installation chambers 3 at the front and rear by a partition 2. This design not only realizes the partition management of electronic components, but also facilitates the layout of the heat dissipation system.
[0031] The interior of the partition 2 houses an air cavity 5, the core of the heat dissipation system. This cavity 5 connects to the mounting chamber 3 via ventilation holes 6 on either side of the partition, forming an airflow path. Two air supply assemblies 7, mounted on the cabinet 1, draw in cool air from outside and deliver it to the cavity 5. As the pressure within the cavity increases, the cool air is evenly ejected through the ventilation holes 6, directly onto the electronic components within the mounting chamber 3.
[0032] After the ejected cold air exchanges heat with the electronic components, it heats up and becomes hot air. Because hot air has a lower density, it naturally rises and flows toward the top of the cabinet. Simultaneously, external cold air is continuously replenished by the air supply assembly 7 into the air cavity 5, forming a continuous airflow cycle.
[0033] The air supply assembly 7 delivers external cold air directly into the air cavity 5 and sprays it toward the electronic components, achieving active air cooling and heat dissipation for the electronic components. Compared with traditional natural heat dissipation methods, this design significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency and reduces the temperature inside the cabinet.
[0034] The ventilation holes 6 are evenly distributed on both sides of the partition 2, and the air supply assembly 7 can provide a stable airflow, thereby ensuring that the electronic components in the two installation chambers 3 can be evenly and effectively cooled, avoiding the occurrence of local overheating.
[0035] The design of the partitions, air cavities, and ventilation holes cleverly utilizes the cabinet's internal space without significantly increasing the cabinet's overall size. Furthermore, the design of the mounting rack 4 allows the user to adjust the layout and quantity of electronic components according to actual needs, increasing the flexibility and scalability of the equipment.
[0036] Good heat dissipation performance helps keep electronic components operating within the normal operating temperature range, reducing the risk of performance degradation or failure due to overheating, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire relay protection system.
[0037] Specifically, the cabinet 1 in this embodiment has openings on both sides of the cavity, with sealed doors hinged at the openings of the cavity. The cabinet 1 is provided with a plurality of downwardly facing exhaust holes 8, which are respectively connected to the two installation chambers 3. The exhaust holes 8 are located above the side walls of the cabinet 1.
[0038] First, the cavity of cabinet 1 is designed with openings on both sides, and sealed doors are hinged at these openings. This facilitates maintenance and inspection of the interior of the relay protection cabinet. When installing, replacing, or inspecting electronic components, users only need to open the corresponding sealed door without disassembling the entire cabinet. Furthermore, the presence of the sealed doors ensures the cabinet is sealed when closed, preventing external impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the cabinet and damaging the electronic components.
[0039] Several downward-facing exhaust holes 8 are provided above the upper sidewall of the cabinet body 1, and these exhaust holes 8 are connected to the two mounting chambers 3. When the air supply assembly delivers cold air into the air cavity of the partition 2 and ejects it through the vents 6 to cool the electronic components, the heated air naturally rises and flows toward the exhaust holes 8. Because the exhaust holes open downward, they effectively prevent external impurities such as dust and rain from entering the cabinet through the holes. Furthermore, the downward-facing design facilitates the exhaust of hot air and the replenishment of cold air, further enhancing the heat dissipation effect.
[0040] In one embodiment, the air supply assembly 7 includes a fan 71 arranged on the cabinet 1, the air outlet pipe of the fan 71 is connected to the air cavity 5 of the partition 2, the air inlet pipe of the fan 71 is connected to a transfer pipe 72, and a filter element is arranged inside the transfer pipe 72.
[0041] When the blower 71 starts working, it draws in external air through the air inlet pipe. This air first passes through the filter core inside the transfer pipe 72, which can effectively remove impurities such as dust and particulate matter in the air to ensure that the air entering the air cavity 5 is clean.
[0042] The filtered cold air is then delivered to the air cavity 5 inside the partition 2 through the air outlet pipe of the fan 71. As the gas pressure in the air cavity increases, the cold air is evenly ejected through the ventilation holes 6 on both sides of the partition and blows directly onto the electronic components in the installation chamber 3.
[0043] The ejected cold air exchanges heat with the electronic components and becomes hot air, which rises naturally or is discharged outside the cabinet through the exhaust holes 8 on the cabinet body 1. At the same time, the fan 71 continues to work, continuously sucking in external cold air and sending it into the air cavity 5, forming a continuous airflow cycle.
[0044] In another embodiment, when the device is placed indoors, the air supply assembly 7 includes a filter box and a transfer pipe connected to each other, the other end of the transfer pipe is connected to the delivery pipe of the external ventilation system, the filter box is connected to the air cavity 5 of the partition 2 through the pipe, and a plurality of filter screens are arranged inside the filter box.
[0045] When the substation relay protection cabinet is placed indoors, the air supply assembly 7 includes a filter box and a transfer pipe that are interconnected. One end of the transfer pipe is connected to the filter box, and the other end is connected to the delivery duct of the external ventilation system. In this way, the external ventilation system can provide a continuous source of air for the relay protection cabinet. The filter box is connected to the air cavity 5 inside the partition 2 through a pipe on the other side, ensuring that filtered air can enter the air cavity. Several filter screens are installed inside the filter box. These filter screens can effectively remove impurities such as dust and particulate matter from the air, ensuring the quality of the air entering the air cavity.
[0046] In this way, it can be efficiently integrated with the existing indoor ventilation system, using existing resources to provide a clean cold air source for the relay protection cabinet, reducing system complexity and cost.
[0047] The air is filtered layer by layer through several filters inside the filter box, which can effectively remove dust, particulate matter and other impurities in the air, improve the quality of the air entering the air cavity, and thus protect electronic components from pollution and damage.
[0048] It should be noted that the mounting frame 4 includes two support frames 41 relatively slidably arranged inside the mounting chamber 3 , and a plurality of mounting plates 42 are slidably arranged on two adjacent support frames 41 , and the mounting plates 42 are fixed to the support frames 41 by bolts.
[0049] Mounting frame 4 consists of two support frames 41 that slide relative to each other within mounting chamber 3. The positions of support frames 41 within mounting chamber 3 can be adjusted as needed, flexibly accommodating electronic components of varying sizes and quantities. Furthermore, several mounting plates 42 are slidably positioned between adjacent support frames 41. These plates 42 can be adjusted along the support frames 41 to precisely accommodate the mounting requirements of electronic components.
[0050] Specifically, the support frames 41 are the main structure of the mounting frame 4, and are designed to be relatively slidably mounted inside the mounting chamber 3. This sliding design allows the distance between the support frames 41 to be adjusted as needed to accommodate electronic components of different sizes and layouts.
[0051] Mounting plates 42 are the direct carrier for mounting electronic components. They are designed to slide between two adjacent support frames 41, allowing users to adjust the mounting plates 42 to the appropriate position based on the specific size and installation requirements of the electronic components. Mounting plates 42 are also pre-set with screw holes for securing them to the support frames 41 with bolts, ensuring the stability and safety of the electronic components during installation.
[0052] After the mounting plate 42 is adjusted to a suitable position, the user can use bolts to firmly fix them to the support frame 41. This fixing method is simple and reliable, and can ensure the stable operation of the electronic components after installation.
[0053] The design of the mounting frame 4 allows the user to flexibly adjust the position and number of the support frame 41 and the mounting plate 42 according to actual needs, thereby easily adapting to electronic components of different sizes and quantities.
[0054] The sliding design of the mounting plate 42 allows the user to make precise adjustments according to the specific size and installation requirements of the electronic components, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the electronic components during installation.
[0055] As a preferred embodiment, the support frame 41 includes a vertical rod 411 arranged in the installation chamber 3, and two sliders 412 are arranged on the vertical rod 411 in an L-shape. A plurality of slideways 9 are provided on opposite sides of the chamber of the cabinet 1, and the sliders 412 are arranged in the corresponding slideways 9 and slide in cooperation with the slideways 9. The two ends of the vertical rod 411 are in contact with the upper and lower sides of the installation chamber 3 respectively. Bolt holes are provided on the four corners of the mounting plate 42, and a plurality of bolt holes are provided on the vertical rod 411.
[0056] The vertical rod 411 is designed to be L-shaped, which not only increases its stability but also enables it to better adapt to the structure of the installation chamber 3. The two ends of the L-shaped vertical rod 411 are respectively in contact with the upper and lower sides of the installation chamber 3, forming a stable support base.
[0057] The function of the slider 412 is to enable the vertical rod 411 to slide in the slideway 9 of the cabinet 1, thereby adjusting the position of the support frame 41 in the installation chamber 3. The slideway 9 cooperates with the slider 412 to allow the support frame 41 to slide and adjust in the horizontal direction.
[0058] Mounting plate 42 has bolt holes at its four corners, which align with the bolt holes on vertical rods 411, allowing mounting plate 42 to be secured to support frame 41 via bolts. The multiple bolt holes on vertical rods 411 provide multiple fixing position options, allowing users to precisely secure mounting plate 42 to the desired location based on the size of the electronic components and installation requirements.
[0059] In one embodiment, a top cover 10 is provided above the cabinet 1 .
[0060] The top cover 10 is installed above the cabinet 1 and serves as a closed part of the entire cabinet.
[0061] The presence of the top cover 10 significantly enhances the protective performance of the substation relay protection cabinet. It blocks external contaminants such as dust, moisture, and insects from entering the cabinet, thereby protecting the internal electronic components from contamination and damage. This is crucial for maintaining the cleanliness and stable operation of the electronic components.
