An exhaust duct 9 is installed at the top center of the electric control cabinet body 1. An exhaust fan 10 is installed in the exhaust duct 9. When the electric control cabinet is working, the outside air is introduced into the electric control cabinet through the air intake fan 5, and then the introduced air is heat-exchanged to form cold air through the cooling box 6. The cold air is evenly distributed in the electric control cabinet through the wind equalizing mechanism 8 and then discharged through the exhaust fan 10, forming a cold air circulation inside the electric control cabinet, which greatly reduces the temperature of the electronic components in the electric control cabinet and improves the reliability of the operation of the electric control cabinet.

[0026] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cooling box 6 is provided with partitions 601 on both sides. A cooling chamber 602 is formed between the two partitions 601. An air inlet chamber 603 is formed between one side of the cooling box 6 and the corresponding partition 601, while an air outlet chamber 604 is formed between the other side of the cooling box 6 and the corresponding partition 601. Multiple cooling air ducts 605 are provided within the cooling chamber 602. The cooling air ducts 605 are made of copper. Both ends of the cooling air ducts 605 pass through the partitions 601 and are connected to the air inlet chamber 603 and the air outlet chamber 604, respectively. An air inlet 606 communicating with the air inlet cavity 603 is provided on one side of the cooling box 6, the outlet of the air inlet hood 4 is connected to the air inlet 606, and an air collecting hood 607 is installed inside the air outlet cavity 604. The outlet of the air collecting hood 607 passes through the cooling box 6 and is connected to the air duct 7.

The cooling liquid circulation is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] Specifically, when the electrical control cabinet is in use, the air introduced by the air intake fan 5 enters the air intake cavity 603, and the introduced air is dispersed into multiple cooling air ducts 605. The cooling water circulates in the cooling cavity 602 through the operation of the coolant circulation mechanism, thereby heat-exchanging and cooling the air in the cooling air duct 605 to form cold air. The cold air then enters the air outlet cavity 604, is collected by the air collecting hood 607, and then enters the air equalization mechanism 8 through the air supply pipe 7, which can quickly cool the introduced air to form cold air, thereby quickly cooling the electrical control cabinet.

[0028] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The air distribution mechanism 8 includes an air distribution plate 801 mounted on the fixed plate 3. A plurality of air delivery slots 802 are arranged inside the air distribution plate 801 from top to bottom. The length of the air delivery slots 802 increases from top to bottom. An air outlet 803 is provided at the top of one side of the air delivery slot 802. An air distribution cover 804 connected to the air delivery slot 802 is provided on the side of the air distribution plate 801 away from the air outlet 803. The air distribution cover 804 passes through the fixed plate 3 and its inlet is connected to the air delivery pipe 7. A plurality of air distribution plates 805 connected to the air distribution plate 801 are arranged inside the air distribution cover 804. 5 is one less than the number of air ducts 802. The air distribution cover 804 is evenly divided into several air passages by multiple air distribution plates 805. Each air passage is connected to an air duct 802. After the cold air enters the air distribution cover 804, the cold air is evenly distributed to each air duct 802 through the air distribution plates 805. The length of the air duct 802 increases from top to bottom. The air outlet 803 is set at the top of one side of the air duct 802, so that the cold air can be evenly distributed to the inside of the electric control cabinet, thereby evenly cooling the inside of the electric control cabinet and improving the heat dissipation and cooling effect.

[0029] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A protective cover 11 is provided on the outer side of the exhaust duct 9 at the top of the electric control cabinet body 1. The protective cover 11 is used to protect the exhaust fan 10 from damage. Filters 1101 are installed on both sides of the protective cover 11 and the inlet of the air intake cover 4. The filter 1101 is used to filter dust particles in the air to avoid pollution and erosion inside the electric control cabinet.

[0030] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5A base 12 is provided under the main body 1 of the electric control cabinet, and a groove 1201 is provided on the top of the base 12. A limit block 13 is provided at the bottom of the main body 1 of the electric control cabinet. The cross section of the limit block 13 is smaller than the cross section of the groove 1201. The limit block 13 is placed in the groove 1201. A plurality of shock absorbers 14 are installed between the bottom of the limit block 13 and the bottom end of the groove 1201. The vibration and shaking generated by the air cooling of the electric control cabinet are alleviated by the provided shock absorbers 14, so that the electric control cabinet is quieter and more stable when in use.

[0031] In a preferred example of the present application, limiting rods 15 are installed around the groove 1201 at the top of the base 12, and a limiting groove 16 corresponding to the position of the limiting rod 15 is opened at the bottom of the electric control cabinet body 1. The limiting rod 15 is movably inserted into the limiting groove 16, and the stability of the electric control cabinet is guaranteed by the limiting rod 15 and the limiting groove 16.

[0032] The control mode of the present invention is controlled by a controller, and the control program of the controller can be realized by simple programming by those skilled in the art, so the present invention will not further explain the control mode and circuit connection in detail.

[0033] Working principle: When the electric control cabinet is working, the air from outside is introduced into the electric control cabinet through the air intake fan 5, and then the air introduced by the air intake fan 5 enters the air intake cavity 603 of the cooling box 6, and the introduced air is dispersed into multiple cooling air ducts 605. The cooling water is circulated in the cooling cavity 602 by the coolant circulation mechanism, so that the air in the cooling air duct 605 is cooled by heat exchange to form cold air. The cold air then enters the air outlet cavity 604, is collected by the air collecting hood 607, and then enters the air distribution mechanism 8 through the air supply pipe 7. The air introduced into the air distribution hood 804 can be quickly cooled to form cold air, which can quickly cool the electric control cabinet. The cold air is evenly distributed to each air duct 802 through the air distribution plate 805. The length of the air duct 802 increases from top to bottom. The air outlet 803 is set at the top of one side of the air duct 802, so that the cold air can be evenly distributed to the inside of the electric control cabinet, and then discharged through the exhaust fan 10, forming a cold air circulation inside the electric control cabinet, which greatly reduces the temperature of the electronic components in the electric control cabinet and improves the reliability of the operation of the electric control cabinet.
