Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a control cabinet and a robot system. Background Art

[0002] The control cabinet in the related art has only one cavity, in which the controller and fan are installed. The airflow generated by the fan circulates within the cavity to dissipate heat from the controller. This control cabinet has poor heat dissipation effect. The present application provides an independent heat dissipation cavity outside the cavity where the controller is located. The controller transfers heat to the heat dissipation cavity, and the heat is then discharged from the heat dissipation cavity by the fan, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0004] To this end, the first purpose of the present invention is to provide a control cabinet.

[0005] The second purpose of the present invention is to provide a robot system.

[0006] To achieve at least one of the above-mentioned purposes, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a control cabinet is proposed, comprising: a cabinet body, comprising an installation cavity; a partition, connected to the inner wall of the cabinet body; a controller, installed on the partition, and the controller is located in the installation cavity; a cover plate, detachably installed on the cabinet body, wherein when the cover plate is installed on the cabinet body, the cover plate, the partition plate and a part of the inner wall of the cabinet body define a heat dissipation cavity, the heat dissipation cavity and the installation cavity are independent of each other, and at least part of the heat of the controller can be conducted into the heat dissipation cavity; at least one first fan, installed on the cover plate, and a first vent is provided on the inner wall of the cabinet body for constituting the heat dissipation cavity.

[0007] The present application proposes a control cabinet that can be used to control a robotic device. The control cabinet includes a cabinet body and a controller, wherein the controller is used to control the robotic device, and the cabinet body is used to install the controller and protect the controller. The cabinet body has an installation cavity, and the controller is installed in the installation cavity. The control cabinet also includes a partition, which is connected to the inner wall of the cabinet body, and the controller is installed on the partition. Specifically, the partition and the inner wall of the cabinet body jointly define the installation cavity, and the controller is installed on the side of the partition facing the installation cavity. In addition to installing the controller, other electrical components and user-selected parts can also be installed in the installation cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, the control cabinet also includes a cover plate, which is detachably connected to the cabinet body. When the cover plate is installed on the cabinet body, the cover plate, the partition plate and a portion of the inner wall of the cabinet body jointly define a heat dissipation cavity, which is used to dissipate heat for the controller. It is understandable that the controller will generate a large amount of heat during operation. Since the installation cavity has good sealing performance, the heat in the installation cavity is difficult to quickly dissipate to the outside of the cabinet. If the installation cavity is in a high temperature state for a long time, the life of the controller will be reduced and the controller will easily fail. In order to increase the heat dissipation speed, the present application forms a separate heat dissipation cavity for dissipating heat for the controller in the control cabinet. Specifically, the heat dissipation cavity and the installation cavity are independent of each other, and at least part of the heat of the controller can be conducted to the heat dissipation cavity. The heat can be conducted to the heat dissipation cavity through the partition plate, and can also be conducted to the heat dissipation cavity through other heat dissipation structures. Since part of the heat of the controller can be dissipated to the outside through the heat dissipation cavity, the heat in the installation cavity can be quickly reduced, thereby improving the heat dissipation speed of the control cabinet.

[0009] The partition can be made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity, so that the heat in the installation cavity can be quickly transferred to the heat dissipation cavity through the partition. The partition can also be made of a non-metallic material, and the heat of the controller can be transferred to the heat dissipation cavity through other heat dissipation structures.

[0010] Furthermore, the control cabinet also includes at least one first fan, which is used to generate airflow within the heat dissipation cavity to quickly dissipate heat within the heat dissipation cavity. Accordingly, the cabinet body also has a first vent that cooperates with the first fan. Specifically, the first fan is mounted on the cover plate, and the first vent is provided on the inner wall of the cabinet body that constitutes the heat dissipation cavity. When the first fan is in operation, an airflow is generated, which removes heat from the heat dissipation cavity and discharges it to the outside through the first vent, thereby achieving a heat dissipation effect.

[0011] The heat dissipation cavity can be located above, below, or to the side of the mounting cavity, and the number of cover plates can be one or more. In the case of multiple cover plates, multiple heat dissipation cavities can be formed in the control cabinet to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the control cabinet.

[0012] By installing partitions and covers in the control cabinet, a heat dissipation cavity is defined by the partitions, cover, and part of the cabinet's inner wall. This cavity acts as an airflow channel independent of the mounting cavity, dissipating heat from the controller through the heat dissipation cavity. This improves the control cabinet's heat dissipation efficiency, reduces the temperature within the mounting cavity, enhances the controller's reliability, and extends its service life. Furthermore, by forming a heat dissipation cavity in the control cabinet, heat dissipation efficiency is improved without the need for devices such as a heat exchanger, simplifying the product structure.

[0013] The control cabinet according to the present invention may also have the following distinguishing technical features:

[0014] In some technical solutions, optionally, the control cabinet also includes: a radiator installed on the partition, the radiator is in contact with the controller, at least a portion of the radiator is located in the heat dissipation cavity, and the radiator is used to conduct at least a portion of the heat of the controller to the heat dissipation cavity.

[0015] In this technical solution, the structure of the control cabinet is further defined. In order to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the control cabinet, the present application also provides a radiator in the control cabinet for conducting heat to the controller. The radiator is mounted on the partition, in contact with the controller, and at least a portion of the radiator is located within the heat dissipation cavity. When the controller is running, at least a portion of the heat generated by the controller is conducted to the radiator. Since at least a portion of the radiator is located within the heat dissipation cavity, the heat conducted from the controller to the radiator is conducted to the heat dissipation cavity, thereby achieving heat conduction for the controller.

[0016] In one possible technical solution, the controller is made of aluminum alloy. It is understandable that aluminum alloy has good thermal conductivity, which can improve the thermal conductivity efficiency of the radiator, so that the heat of the controller can be quickly transferred to the heat dissipation cavity, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the radiator on the controller.

[0017] By arranging a radiator in the control cabinet, at least a portion of the heat of the controller can be conducted to the heat dissipation cavity through the radiator, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the controller.

[0018] In some technical solutions, optionally, the radiator includes: a heat sink installed on the partition, the heat sink being in contact with the controller; and a plurality of heat sink fins connected to the heat sink, the heat sink fins being located in the heat sink cavity.

[0019] This technical solution defines the structure of the radiator. It includes a heat sink and multiple fins. The heat sink is mounted on a partition. The controller contacts the heat sink, transferring heat from the controller to the heat sink. The multiple fins are connected to the heat sink and located within a heat dissipation cavity. The heat sink further transfers heat to the fins, which then dissipate the heat into the cavity, effectively dissipating heat from the controller.

[0020] In one possible technical solution, both the heat sink and the fins are made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has excellent thermal conductivity, which improves the thermal efficiency of the heat sink and fins, allowing heat from the controller to be quickly transferred to the heat dissipation cavity, enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the radiator on the controller. Furthermore, aluminum alloy is easy to process and shape, which improves the processing efficiency of the heat sink and fins.

[0021] Furthermore, there is a distance between any two adjacent heat dissipation fins, and an air guide channel is defined between any two adjacent heat dissipation fins. The airflow generated by the first fan can pass through the air guide channel between any two adjacent heat dissipation fins and flow toward the first vent.

[0022] In a possible technical solution, the first fan and the first vent are located at both ends of the control cabinet along the length direction, and multiple heat dissipation fins are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the control cabinet. This can reduce the obstruction of the heat dissipation fins to the airflow formed by the first fan and improve the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation cavity.

[0023] By providing a plurality of heat dissipation fins connected to the heat dissipation plate in the radiator, the heat dissipation area of ​​the radiator can be increased and the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator can be improved.

[0024] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cover plate includes: a bottom plate, which faces the partition when the cover plate is installed on the cabinet; a front plate, connected to the bottom plate, which faces the inner wall of the cabinet when the cover plate is installed on the cabinet, and the first fan is installed on the front plate.

[0025] In this technical solution, the structure of the cover plate is defined. The cover plate includes a bottom plate and a front plate, the front plate being connected to the bottom plate. When the cover plate is installed in the cabinet, the bottom plate faces the partition plate, the front plate faces the inner wall of the cabinet, and the first fan is installed in the front plate. Understandably, after long-term use of the control cabinet, a large amount of dust and other impurities will form at the bottom, and these impurities will fall onto the bottom plate, so that the impurities can be received by the bottom plate. And because the cover plate is detachably mounted to the cabinet, when the control cabinet needs to be cleaned, the operator can remove the cover plate from the cabinet, move the cover plate out of the cabinet, and clean the dust and impurities deposited on the bottom plate.

[0026] In a possible technical solution, both the bottom plate and the front plate are made of metal material to improve the overall heat dissipation effect of the cover plate, and the bottom plate and the front plate are formed in one piece.

[0027] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first fan is arranged opposite to the first vent.

[0028] In this technical solution, the relative positions of the first fan and the first vent are limited. Specifically, the first fan and the first vent are arranged relative to each other, so that the airflow generated by the first fan can be blown directly to the first vent, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0029] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cabinet body is provided with a guide groove, the cover plate is installed in the guide groove, and can move along the guide groove.

[0030] In this technical solution, the structure of the cabinet is further defined. In order to enable the cover plate to be installed on the cabinet, the present application further provides a guide groove on the cabinet, which is adapted to the cover plate so that the cover plate can be installed on the cabinet. Specifically, there are two guide grooves, which are relatively arranged on two opposite side walls of the cabinet. The two ends of the bottom plate of the cover plate are respectively inserted into the two guide grooves to achieve the installation and positioning of the cover plate. Furthermore, the cover plate can be moved along the guide groove, so that the operator can pull the cover plate out of the cabinet, clean the cover plate and the cabinet, and achieve flexible installation of the cover plate.

[0031] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cover plate is installed at the bottom of the cabinet.

[0032] In this technical solution, the relative position of the cover plate and the cabinet body is defined. Specifically, the cover plate is installed at the bottom of the cabinet body. As you can imagine, after long-term use of the control cabinet, a large amount of dust and other impurities will accumulate at the bottom. By installing the cover plate at the bottom of the cabinet body, these impurities fall onto the bottom plate of the cover plate, which then collects the impurities. Furthermore, since the cover plate can be removed from the cabinet body, it is easier for the operator to clean the cover plate and the cabinet body, improving user convenience.

[0033] In some technical solutions, optionally, the control cabinet further includes: a plurality of connectors, the connectors are used to connect the cover to the cabinet body, and the connectors are detachably connected to the cabinet body.

[0034] This technical solution further defines the structure of the control cabinet. The control cabinet also includes multiple connectors for connecting the cover plate to the cabinet body. The connectors are detachably connected to the cabinet body. When the cover plate is installed on the cabinet body, the connectors are connected to the cabinet body to secure the cover plate. To remove the cover plate from the cabinet body, the connectors are first removed from the cabinet body, and then the cover plate is pulled out of the guide grooves on the cabinet body. By providing the connectors in the control cabinet, the cover plate can be installed and secured through the connectors.

[0035] In a possible technical solution, the connecting member is a screw, a through hole is provided on the cover plate, a threaded hole adapted to the connecting member is provided on the cabinet body, and the connecting member passes through the cover plate and is connected to the threaded hole on the cabinet body.

[0036] In some technical solutions, optionally, the control cabinet further includes: at least one first electrical component installed in the heat dissipation cavity, the controller includes a second electrical component, and the power of the first electrical component is greater than the power of the second electrical component.

[0037] In this technical solution, the structure of the control cabinet is further defined. The controller includes a second electrical component, and the control cabinet also includes at least one first electrical component. The first electrical component is installed in the heat dissipation cavity, and the power of the first electrical component is greater than the power of the second electrical component. It can be understood that the power of the electrical component is related to the heat generation. The greater the power of the electrical component, the greater the heat generation of the electrical component. Since the sealing of the installation cavity is better than the sealing of the heat dissipation cavity (the protection level of the installation cavity can reach IP (ingress protection) 54, and the protection level of the heat dissipation cavity can reach IP20), the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation cavity is higher than the heat dissipation efficiency of the installation cavity. The present application arranges the first electrical component with larger power in the heat dissipation cavity, which can increase the heat dissipation speed of the first electrical component to avoid the phenomenon of overheating of the first electrical component, and can also reduce the heat in the installation cavity and reduce the impact of the first electrical component on the controller. Among them, the first electrical component can be a brake resistor, and the second electrical component can be a power supply, IGBT (insulated-gate bipolar transistor), a rectifier bridge or a control module.

[0038] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first electrical component is installed at the first vent.

[0039] In this technical solution, the installation position of the first electrical component is defined. Specifically, the first electrical component is installed at the first vent. This allows the airflow generated by the first fan to quickly dissipate the heat of the first electrical component out of the control cabinet through the first vent, thereby improving the heat dissipation speed and reducing the impact of the first electrical component on other electrical components in the control cabinet.

[0040] In some technical solutions, optionally, the control cabinet further includes: a second fan located in the installation cavity, and the second fan is used to dissipate heat for the controller.

[0041] In this technical solution, the structure of the control cabinet is further limited. In order to dissipate heat from the installation cavity, the present application further provides a second fan in the installation cavity, and the airflow formed by the second fan can dissipate heat from the controller. Specifically, when the second fan is running, the second fan forms an airflow. Since the installation cavity has good sealing performance, the airflow formed by the second fan circulates in the installation cavity. When the airflow passes through the controller, the airflow takes away the heat from the controller to dissipate heat from the controller. The wall of the cabinet is made of a metal material with good heat dissipation performance. The heat in the installation cavity can be dissipated to the outside through the wall of the cabinet to dissipate heat from the installation cavity.

[0042] In some technical solutions, optionally, the second fan is arranged adjacent to the controller.

[0043] In this technical solution, the installation location of the second fan is defined. Specifically, the second fan is positioned adjacent to the controller. The second fan can be installed to the side of the controller or on top of the controller, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the second fan on the controller. The number of second fans can be one or more. The second fan is an axial flow fan.

[0044] In some technical solutions, optionally, the control cabinet further includes: a door body, movably mounted on the cabinet body, the door body being used to open or close the installation cavity; and a seal, mounted on the cabinet body, the door body squeezing the seal when closing the installation cavity.

[0045] This technical solution further defines the structure of the control cabinet. The control cabinet also includes a door body, on which a seal adapted for the door body is mounted. The door body is movably mounted to the cabinet body, capable of opening and closing the installation cavity. The seal is mounted at the edge of the installation cavity opening. When the door body closes the installation cavity, it squeezes the seal, improving the sealing of the installation cavity and enhancing the protection of the controller. The seal can be a rubber ring. The installation cavity can achieve an IP54 protection level.

[0046] Furthermore, a door lock is provided on the door body to lock the door body to the cabinet body.

[0047] In some technical solutions, optionally, the control cabinet further includes: at least one lifting lug, which is provided on the top of the cabinet body.

[0048] In this technical solution, the cabinet is also equipped with lifting lugs, which allow the operator to move the control cabinet. Specifically, the number of lifting lugs can be one or more, and the lifting lugs are located at the top of the cabinet. The installation of lifting lugs at the top of the cabinet makes it easier for the operator to move the control cabinet, improving user convenience.

[0049] The second aspect of the present invention further proposes a robot system, comprising: the control cabinet proposed in the first aspect of the present invention; a robot device electrically connected to the controller of the control cabinet, and the controller is used to control the robot device.

[0050] The robot system proposed in this application includes a control cabinet and a robot device, wherein the control cabinet is used to control the robot device. A controller of the control cabinet is electrically connected to the robot device, and the controller is used to control the robot device.

[0051] The robot system provided in the second aspect of the present invention includes the control cabinet proposed in the first aspect of the present invention, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the control cabinet.

[0052] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following description or will be understood through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0063] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0064] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0065] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 7 The control cabinet 100 and the robot system provided according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0066] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the present application proposes a control cabinet 100, comprising: a cabinet body 110, comprising an installation cavity 111; a partition 120, connected to the inner wall of the cabinet body 110; a controller 130, mounted on the partition 120, and the controller 130 is located in the installation cavity 111; a cover plate 140, detachably mounted on the cabinet body 110, wherein when the cover plate 140 is mounted on the cabinet body 110, the cover plate 140, the partition 120 and a portion of the inner wall of the cabinet body 110 define a heat dissipation cavity 112, and the heat dissipation cavity 112 is independent of the installation cavity 111, and at least a portion of the heat of the controller 130 can be conducted into the heat dissipation cavity 112; at least one first fan 141, mounted on the cover plate 140, and a first ventilation opening 113 is provided on the inner wall of the cabinet body 110 for constituting the heat dissipation cavity 112.

[0067] The present application proposes a control cabinet 100, which can be used to control a robot device. The control cabinet 100 includes a cabinet 110 and a controller 130, wherein the controller 130 is used to control the robot device, and the cabinet 110 is used to install the controller 130 and protect the controller 130. The cabinet 110 has an installation cavity 111, and the controller 130 is installed in the installation cavity 111. The control cabinet 100 also includes a partition 120, which is connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 110, and the controller 130 is installed on the partition 120. Specifically, the partition 120 and the inner wall of the cabinet 110 jointly define the installation cavity 111, and the controller 130 is installed on the side of the partition 120 facing the installation cavity 111. In addition to installing the controller 130, other electrical components and user-selected components can also be installed in the installation cavity 111.

[0068] Furthermore, the control cabinet 100 also includes a cover plate 140, which is detachably connected to the cabinet body 110. When the cover plate 140 is installed on the cabinet body 110, the cover plate 140, the partition plate 120 and a portion of the inner wall of the cabinet body 110 together define a heat dissipation cavity 112, which is used to dissipate heat for the controller 130. It is understandable that the controller 130 will generate a large amount of heat during operation. Since the installation cavity 111 has good sealing performance, the heat in the installation cavity 111 is difficult to dissipate quickly to the outside of the cabinet body 110. If the installation cavity 111 is in a high temperature state for a long time, the life of the controller 130 will be reduced and the controller 130 will easily malfunction. In order to improve the heat dissipation speed, the present application forms a separate heat dissipation cavity 112 in the control cabinet 100 for dissipating heat for the controller 130. Specifically, the heat dissipation cavity 112 is independent of the mounting cavity 111, and at least a portion of the heat from the controller 130 can be conducted into the heat dissipation cavity 112. This heat can be conducted into the heat dissipation cavity 112 via the partition 120 or other heat dissipation structures. Because a portion of the heat from the controller 130 can be dissipated to the outside through the heat dissipation cavity 112, the heat within the mounting cavity 111 can be quickly reduced, thereby improving the heat dissipation speed of the control cabinet 100.

[0069] The partition 120 can be made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity, so that the heat in the installation cavity 111 can be quickly transferred to the heat dissipation cavity 112 through the partition 120. The partition 120 can also be made of a non-metallic material, and the heat of the controller 130 can be transferred to the heat dissipation cavity 112 through other heat dissipation structures.

[0070] Furthermore, the control cabinet 100 also includes at least one first fan 141, which is used to form an airflow in the heat dissipation cavity 112 to quickly discharge the heat in the heat dissipation cavity 112. Correspondingly, the cabinet body 110 also has a first vent 113 that cooperates with the first fan 141. Specifically, the first fan 141 is installed on the cover plate 140, and the first vent 113 is provided on the inner wall of the cabinet body 110 that constitutes the heat dissipation cavity 112. When the first fan 141 is in operation, an airflow is formed, which takes away the heat in the heat dissipation cavity 112 and discharges it to the outside through the first vent 113, thereby achieving a heat dissipation effect.

[0071] The heat dissipation cavity 112 can be located above, below, or to the side of the mounting cavity 111, and the number of cover plates 140 can be one or more. When there are multiple cover plates 140, multiple heat dissipation cavities 112 can be formed in the control cabinet 100 to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the control cabinet 100.

[0072] By providing a partition 120 and a cover 140 in the control cabinet 100, a heat dissipation cavity 112 is defined by the partition 120, the cover 140, and a portion of the inner wall of the cabinet body 110. This allows the heat dissipation cavity 112 to function as an air guide channel independent of the mounting cavity 111. Heat dissipation from the controller 130 is dissipated through the heat dissipation cavity 112, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the control cabinet 100, reducing the temperature within the mounting cavity 111 where the controller 130 is located, improving the reliability of the controller 130, and extending the service life of the controller 130. Furthermore, by forming the heat dissipation cavity 112 in the control cabinet 100, heat dissipation efficiency can be improved without installing devices such as a heat exchanger, thereby simplifying the product structure.

[0073] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the control cabinet 100 also includes: a radiator 150, which is installed on the partition 120, the radiator 150 is in contact with the controller 130, and at least a portion of the radiator 150 is located in the heat dissipation cavity 112, and the radiator 150 is used to conduct at least a portion of the heat of the controller 130 to the heat dissipation cavity 112.

[0074] In this embodiment, the structure of the control cabinet 100 is further defined. In order to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the control cabinet 100, the present application also provides a radiator 150 in the control cabinet 100 for conducting heat for the controller 130. The radiator 150 is mounted on the partition 120, the radiator 150 is in contact with the controller 130, and at least a portion of the radiator 150 is located in the heat dissipation cavity 112. When the controller 130 is running, at least a portion of the heat generated by the controller 130 is conducted to the radiator 150. Since at least a portion of the radiator 150 is located in the heat dissipation cavity 112, the heat conducted from the controller 130 to the radiator 150 is conducted to the heat dissipation cavity 112, thereby achieving a heat conduction effect on the controller 130.

[0075] In a possible embodiment, the controller 130 is made of aluminum alloy material. It is understandable that the aluminum alloy material has good thermal conductivity, which can improve the thermal conductivity efficiency of the radiator 150, so that the heat of the controller 130 can be quickly conducted to the heat dissipation cavity 112, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the radiator 150 on the controller 130.

[0076] By disposing the radiator 150 in the control cabinet 100 , at least a portion of the heat of the controller 130 can be conducted to the heat dissipation cavity 112 through the radiator 150 , thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the controller 130 .

[0077] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the radiator 150 includes: a heat sink 151 mounted on the partition 120 , the heat sink 151 is in contact with the controller 130 ; a plurality of heat sink fins 152 connected to the heat sink 151 , the heat sink fins 152 are located in the heat sink cavity 112 .

[0078] In this embodiment, the structure of the heat sink 150 is defined. The heat sink 150 includes a heat sink 151 and a plurality of heat fins 152. The heat sink 151 is mounted on the partition 120. The controller 130 is in contact with the heat sink 151, and heat from the controller 130 is transferred to the heat sink 151. The plurality of heat fins 152 are connected to the heat sink 151 and are located within the heat dissipation cavity 112. The heat sink 151 further transfers heat to the heat fins 152, which then dissipate the heat into the heat dissipation cavity 112, thereby achieving heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 150 on the controller 130.

[0079] In one possible embodiment, both the heat sink 151 and the heat sink fins 152 are made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has excellent thermal conductivity, which improves the thermal conductivity of the heat sink 151 and the heat sink fins 152, allowing heat from the controller 130 to be quickly transferred to the heat sink cavity 112, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 150 on the controller 130. Furthermore, aluminum alloy is easy to process and shape, which improves the processing efficiency of the heat sink 151 and the heat sink fins 152.

[0080] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, there is a distance between any two adjacent heat dissipation fins 152 , and an air guide channel is defined between any two adjacent heat dissipation fins 152 . The airflow generated by the first fan 141 can pass through the air guide channel between any two adjacent heat dissipation fins 152 and flow toward the first vent 113 .

[0081] In one possible embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the first fan 141 and the first vent 113 are located at both ends of the control cabinet 100 along the length direction, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of heat dissipation fins 152 are sequentially arranged along the width direction of the control cabinet 100 , which can reduce the obstruction of the heat dissipation fins 152 to the airflow formed by the first fan 141 and improve the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation cavity 112 .

[0082] By providing a plurality of heat dissipation fins 152 connected to the heat dissipation plate 151 in the heat sink 150 , the heat dissipation area of ​​the heat sink 150 can be increased and the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink 150 can be improved.

[0083] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 6As shown, the cover plate 140 includes: a bottom plate 142, which faces the partition 120 when the cover plate 140 is installed on the cabinet 110; a front plate 143, which is connected to the bottom plate 142, and faces the inner wall of the cabinet 110 when the cover plate 140 is installed on the cabinet 110, and the first fan 141 is installed on the front plate 143.

[0084] In this embodiment, the structure of the cover plate 140 is defined. The cover plate 140 includes a bottom plate 142 and a front plate 143. The front plate 143 is connected to the bottom plate 142. When the cover plate 140 is installed in the cabinet 110, the bottom plate 142 faces the partition 120, and the front plate 143 faces the inner wall of the cabinet 110. The first fan 141 is installed on the front plate 143. It is understandable that after long-term use of the control cabinet 100, a large amount of dust and other impurities will form at the bottom. These impurities fall onto the bottom plate 142, which can then collect the impurities. Moreover, because the cover plate 140 is detachably mounted to the cabinet 110, when the control cabinet 100 needs to be cleaned, the operator can remove the cover plate 140 from the cabinet 110, move the cover plate 140 out of the cabinet 110, and clean the dust and impurities deposited on the bottom plate 142.

[0085] In a possible embodiment, the bottom plate 142 and the front plate 143 are both made of metal material to improve the overall heat dissipation effect of the cover plate 140 , and the bottom plate 142 and the front plate 143 are integrally formed.

[0086] In some embodiments, optionally, the first fan 141 is disposed opposite to the first ventilation opening 113 .

[0087] In this embodiment, the relative positions of the first fan 141 and the first vent 113 are limited. Specifically, the first fan 141 is arranged relative to the first vent 113 so that the airflow generated by the first fan 141 can be blown directly to the first vent 113, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0088] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the cabinet body 110 is provided with a guide groove 114 , and the cover plate 140 is installed in the guide groove 114 and can move along the guide groove 114 .

[0089] In this embodiment, the structure of the cabinet 110 is further defined. In order to enable the cover plate 140 to be installed on the cabinet 110, the present application further provides a guide groove 114 on the cabinet 110, and the guide groove 114 is adapted to the cover plate 140 so that the cover plate 140 can be installed on the cabinet 110. Specifically, there are two guide grooves 114, and the two guide grooves 114 are relatively arranged on two opposite side walls of the cabinet 110. The two ends of the bottom plate 142 of the cover plate 140 are respectively inserted into the two guide grooves 114 to achieve the installation and positioning of the cover plate 140. Furthermore, the cover plate 140 can move along the guide grooves 114, so that the operator can pull the cover plate 140 out of the cabinet 110, clean the cover plate 140 and the cabinet 110, and achieve flexible installation of the cover plate 140.

[0090] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 6 As shown, the cover plate 140 is installed at the bottom of the cabinet 110 .

[0091] In this embodiment, the relative position of the cover plate 140 and the cabinet body 110 is defined. Specifically, the cover plate 140 is installed at the bottom of the cabinet body 110. As can be understood, after long-term use of the control cabinet 100, a large amount of dust and other impurities will accumulate at the bottom. By installing the cover plate 140 at the bottom of the cabinet body 110, these impurities can fall onto the bottom plate 142 of the cover plate 140, thereby catching the impurities. Furthermore, since the cover plate 140 can be removed from the cabinet body 110, it is easier for the operator to clean the cover plate 140 and the cabinet body 110, improving user convenience.

[0092] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 2 As shown, the control cabinet 100 further includes: a plurality of connectors 160 , which are used to connect the cover 140 to the cabinet body 110 , and the connectors 160 are detachably connected to the cabinet body 110 .

[0093] In this embodiment, the structure of the control cabinet 100 is further defined. The control cabinet 100 also includes a plurality of connectors 160, which are used to connect the cover plate 140 to the cabinet body 110. The connectors 160 are detachably connected to the cabinet body 110. When the cover plate 140 is installed on the cabinet body 110, the connectors 160 are connected to the cabinet body 110 to secure the cover plate 140. When the cover plate 140 needs to be removed from the cabinet body 110, the connectors 160 are first removed from the cabinet body 110, and then the cover plate 140 is pulled out of the guide groove 114 on the cabinet body 110. By providing the connectors 160 in the control cabinet 100, the cover plate 140 can be secured by the connectors 160.

[0094] In a possible embodiment, the connector 160 is a screw, the cover 140 is provided with a through hole, the cabinet 110 is provided with a threaded hole adapted to the connector 160 , and the connector 160 passes through the cover 140 and is connected to the threaded hole on the cabinet 110 .

[0095] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 4 As shown, the control cabinet 100 further includes: at least one first electrical component 170 installed in the heat dissipation cavity 112, the controller 130 includes a second electrical component, and the power of the first electrical component 170 is greater than the power of the second electrical component.

[0096] In this embodiment, the structure of the control cabinet 100 is further defined. The controller 130 includes a second electrical component, and the control cabinet 100 also includes at least one first electrical component 170. The first electrical component 170 is installed in the heat dissipation cavity 112, and the power of the first electrical component 170 is greater than the power of the second electrical component. It can be understood that the power of an electrical component is related to the heat generation. The greater the power of the electrical component, the greater the heat generation of the electrical component. Since the sealing of the installation cavity 111 is better than the sealing of the heat dissipation cavity 112 (the protection level of the installation cavity 111 can reach IP54, and the protection level of the heat dissipation cavity 112 can reach IP20), the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation cavity 112 is higher than the heat dissipation efficiency of the installation cavity 111. The present application arranges the first electrical component 170 with a larger power in the heat dissipation cavity 112, which can improve the heat dissipation speed of the first electrical component 170 to avoid the phenomenon of overheating of the first electrical component 170, and can also reduce the heat in the installation cavity 111, reducing the impact of the first electrical component 170 on the controller 130. The first electrical component 170 may be a brake resistor, and the second electrical component may be a power supply, an IGBT, a rectifier bridge, or a control module.

[0097] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 4 As shown, the first electrical component 170 is installed at the first ventilation opening 113 .

[0098] In this embodiment, the installation position of the first electrical component 170 is limited. Specifically, the first electrical component 170 is installed at the first vent 113. In this way, the airflow formed by the first fan 141 can quickly discharge the heat of the first electrical component 170 from the first vent 113 out of the control cabinet 100, thereby improving the heat dissipation speed and reducing the impact of the first electrical component 170 on other electrical components in the control cabinet 100.

[0099] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 5 As shown, the control cabinet 100 further includes: a second fan 115 located in the installation cavity 111 , and the second fan 115 is used to dissipate heat for the controller 130 .

[0100] In this embodiment, the structure of the control cabinet 100 is further defined. In order to dissipate the heat from the installation cavity 111, the present application further provides a second fan 115 in the installation cavity 111. The airflow formed by the second fan 115 can dissipate the heat from the controller 130. Specifically, when the second fan 115 is running, the second fan 115 forms an airflow. Since the sealing of the installation cavity 111 is good, the airflow formed by the second fan 115 circulates in the installation cavity 111. When the airflow flows through the controller 130, the airflow takes away the heat from the controller 130 to dissipate the heat from the controller 130. The wall of the cabinet 110 is made of a metal material with good heat dissipation. The heat in the installation cavity 111 can be dissipated to the outside through the wall of the cabinet 110 to dissipate the heat in the installation cavity 111.

[0101] In some embodiments, optionally, the second fan 115 is disposed adjacent to the controller 130 .

[0102] In this embodiment, the installation position of the second fan 115 is limited. Specifically, the second fan 115 is arranged adjacent to the controller 130. The second fan 115 can be installed on the side of the controller 130 (such as Figure 5 As shown in FIG, the second fan 115 may be installed at a location such as the top of the controller 130, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the second fan 115 on the controller 130. The number of the second fan 115 may be one or more. The second fan 115 is an axial flow fan.

[0103] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the control cabinet 100 further includes: a door body 180 movably mounted on the cabinet body 110 , the door body 180 being used to open or close the installation cavity 111 ; a sealing member 116 mounted on the cabinet body 110 , the door body 180 squeezing the sealing member 116 when closing the installation cavity 111 .

[0104] In this embodiment, the structure of the control cabinet 100 is further defined. The control cabinet 100 also includes a door body 180, and a seal 116 adapted to the door body 180 is installed on the cabinet body 110. The door body 180 is movably mounted on the cabinet body 110, and the door body 180 can open or close the installation cavity 111. The seal 116 is installed at the edge of the opening of the installation cavity 111. When the door body 180 closes the installation cavity 111, the door body 180 squeezes the seal 116, which can improve the sealing of the installation cavity 111 and thus improve the protection effect of the controller 130. The seal 116 can be a rubber ring. The protection level of the installation cavity 111 can reach IP54.

[0105] Furthermore, a door lock is provided on the door body 180 to lock the door body 180 to the cabinet body 110 .

[0106] In some embodiments, optionally, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the control cabinet 100 further includes: at least one lifting lug 117 , which is disposed on the top of the cabinet body 110 .

[0107] In this embodiment, the cabinet 110 is further provided with a lifting lug 117, which allows the operator to move the control cabinet 100. Specifically, the number of the lifting lug 117 can be one or more, and the lifting lug 117 is provided at the top of the cabinet 110. The provision of the lifting lug 117 at the top of the cabinet 110 facilitates the operator's movement of the control cabinet 100, thereby improving user convenience.

[0108] The second aspect of the present invention further proposes a robot system, comprising: the control cabinet 100 proposed in the first aspect of the present invention; a robot device electrically connected to the controller 130 of the control cabinet 100, and the controller 130 is used to control the robot device.

[0109] The robot system proposed in this application includes a control cabinet 100 and a robot device. The control cabinet 100 is used to control the robot device. The controller 130 of the control cabinet 100 is electrically connected to the robot device and is used to control the robot device.

[0110] The robot system provided in the second aspect of the present invention includes the control cabinet 100 proposed in the first aspect of the present invention, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the control cabinet 100.

[0111] In one possible embodiment, the industrial robot control cabinet (i.e., control cabinet 100) of the present invention utilizes independent external cooling ducts to effectively dissipate heat for the IGBT, rectifier bridge, and brake resistor, preventing hot air from re-entering the control layer (i.e., mounting cavity 111) and causing excessive heat accumulation. This solves the problem of poor and uneven heat dissipation in existing industrial robot control cabinets. This allows the various functional components within control cabinet 100 to operate within a controllable temperature range, improving the reliability and lifespan of the industrial robot control cabinet. Control cabinet 100 utilizes both internal and external cooling. A fan (i.e., second fan 115) is located within the high-protection area (i.e., mounting cavity 111) within control cabinet 100. This creates internal air flow within the high-protection area, exchanging temperature with the outside air through the sheet metal housing (i.e., the walls of cabinet body 110), achieving internal cooling. Components with high heat output transfer heat to the external cooling duct (i.e., heat dissipation cavity 112) via radiator 150 for external cooling. This reduces the cost of additional equipment, such as heat exchangers. Greatly reduced costs, thereby increasing market competitiveness.

[0112] Furthermore, high-heat-generating components such as IGBTs and rectifier bridges are designed and laid out using a PCBA (printed circuit board assembly) to direct heat into the heat sink 151 of the radiator 150. Made of an aluminum alloy with high thermal conductivity, the heat sink 151 rapidly directs the heat to the fins 152, where it is quickly dissipated by an external fan (i.e., first fan 141) to ensure sufficient air volume and pressure. The brake resistor (i.e., first electrical component 170), which generates a large amount of heat, is placed near the air outlet (i.e., first vent 113). This allows the generated heat to be quickly discharged from the control cabinet 100 without affecting the temperature and performance of other components.

[0113] Furthermore, by locking or disassembling the hand-tightening screws (i.e., the connecting piece 160) and the cabinet body 110, the base plate 142 (i.e., the front plate 143 of the cover 140) that fixes the fan can be quickly disassembled, thereby quickly cleaning the dust accumulation on the cover 140 after long-term use, thereby improving the radiator 150 capacity of the control cabinet 100.
