Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shell heat dissipation, in particular to a high-temperature industrial instrument shell structure with a heat sink. Background Art
[0002] In modern industrial production, high-temperature environments pose a severe challenge to the performance and lifespan of industrial instruments. Industrial instruments are widely used in high-temperature environments such as metallurgy, chemical engineering, and electric power, where temperatures often exceed the operating range of conventional electronic equipment. To ensure stable operation of industrial instruments in high-temperature conditions, heat dissipation design becomes a key factor.
[0003] Traditional industrial instrument housings typically utilize simple metal shells. While these provide basic physical protection, they suffer from numerous deficiencies in heat dissipation. First, existing heat sink designs often have limited heat dissipation areas, failing to effectively increase the heat conduction surface area, making it difficult for heat to be quickly transferred to the outside air. Second, the layout and shape of the heat sinks are often less than optimal, resulting in poor air circulation and poor natural convection heat dissipation. Furthermore, many existing designs fail to fully utilize forced convection heat dissipation, meaning they are not equipped with fans or other auxiliary heat dissipation devices to enhance air flow, further reducing heat dissipation efficiency. In some high-temperature applications, if the heat generated by internal electronic components cannot be dissipated in a timely manner, the temperature can rise sharply, affecting measurement accuracy and reliability. Long-term exposure to high temperatures can also damage electronic components due to overheating, shortening the instrument's service life. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a high-temperature industrial instrument housing structure with a heat sink to solve the problems of low heat dissipation efficiency of existing high-temperature industrial instrument housings under extreme temperature conditions and easy overheating and damage of internal electronic components.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a high-temperature industrial instrument housing structure with a heat sink is provided, comprising a housing body, heat sinks symmetrically provided on both side walls of the interior of the housing body, a first heat sink mechanism provided on both sides of the interior of the heat sink, a second heat sink mechanism provided between the two first heat sink mechanisms, and first ventilation openings symmetrically provided on both sides of the housing body at corresponding positions of the two heat sinks.
[0006] As a further improvement of the present technical solution, the second heat dissipation mechanism includes a heat dissipation substrate arranged on one side wall of the heat dissipation fin, the heat dissipation substrate is arranged corresponding to the first vent, and the other end of the heat dissipation substrate is fixedly connected to a plurality of heat-conducting columns, and the other end of the heat-conducting columns is fixedly connected to a heat-conducting fin.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present technical solution, a circuit board is provided inside the heat sink on the side opposite to the thermal conductive plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The housing structure of this high-temperature industrial instrument with a heat sink significantly increases the heat dissipation surface area by providing a first heat dissipation mechanism on both sides of the interior of the heat sink, and a second heat dissipation mechanism between the two first heat dissipation mechanisms. The combined design of the heat sink substrate, heat-conducting columns, and heat-conducting plates more effectively transfers heat from the heat source to the heat sink, and quickly dissipates it to the external environment through heat dissipation holes and fan-assisted forced convection.

[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a high-temperature industrial instrument housing structure with a heat sink, including a housing body 1. The housing body 1 is made of high-temperature resistant material to ensure that the structural stability and protective performance can be maintained under extreme temperature conditions. Heat sinks 6 are symmetrically provided on both side walls of the interior of the housing body 1. These heat sinks 6 not only increase the surface area, but also further improve the heat dissipation efficiency through the first heat dissipation mechanism 8 and the second heat dissipation mechanism 9 inside. The first heat dissipation mechanism 8 includes a plurality of heat-conducting fins 11 fixedly connected to the other end of the heat-conducting fin 13. These heat-conducting fins 11 are provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 12, which effectively increase the heat dissipation area and promote air flow. The second heat dissipation mechanism 9 is composed of a heat dissipation substrate 15 provided on one side wall of the heat sink 6. The heat dissipation substrate 15 is arranged corresponding to the first vent 3 and is connected to the heat-conducting fin 13 through a heat-conducting column 14, forming an efficient heat conduction path.
[0025] To further enhance heat dissipation, fans 10 are installed on the inner wall of the heat sink 6, corresponding to the heat-conducting fins 11. These fans 10 force airflow, accelerating heat dissipation. Dust covers 7 are located on either side of the fan 10, preventing dust and foreign matter from entering the instrument and protecting the electronic components from contamination. This design not only enhances heat dissipation but also increases the reliability and service life of the instrument.
[0026] A circuit board 16 is located inside the heat sink 6, on the side opposite the thermally conductive sheet 13, ensuring that the electronic components operate in a favorable heat dissipation environment. A display screen 2 is located on one side of the outer surface of the housing body 1, allowing operators to monitor instrument data in real time. A handle 4 is located at the top of the housing body 1, facilitating transport and installation, enhancing ease of use. Furthermore, a second vent 5 is located on the side of the housing body 1 opposite the display screen 2, forming an effective airflow channel with the first vent 3, further enhancing overall heat dissipation performance.
[0027] A multi-layered heat dissipation design, combining natural and forced convection, significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency, ensuring stable operation of the instrument in high-temperature environments. The heat sink 6, thermal fins 11, heat dissipation holes 12, and fan 10 work together to form an efficient heat dissipation system, rapidly transferring heat from the heat source to the external air and preventing damage to electronic components caused by excessive internal temperatures.
[0028] The dust cover 7 and seal design effectively prevent the intrusion of dust and moisture, extending the service life of electronic components. The dust cover 7 not only blocks dust but also reduces maintenance frequency and costs. Furthermore, the seal design ensures the instrument operates normally in harsh environments such as dusty and humid environments, improving overall protection.
[0029] Display 2 provides an intuitive data display, while handle 4 facilitates transport and installation. The design of display 2 allows operators to easily read instrument data and keep abreast of device status. The presence of handle 4 further facilitates transport and installation, significantly improving work efficiency in applications requiring frequent movement or repositioning.
[0030] The optimized ventilation opening layout and fan 10 assist in heat dissipation, allowing the instrument to maintain good operating conditions even in harsh environments such as dust and high humidity. The rational layout of the first and second ventilation openings 3 and 5, combined with the forced convection of fan 10, ensures that heat inside the instrument can be effectively dissipated even in dusty and high-humidity environments, thereby ensuring the long-term stable operation of the instrument.
[0031] In summary, this embodiment provides an efficient and reliable high-temperature industrial instrument housing structure, solves the problem of insufficient heat dissipation in existing designs, and provides a more stable and durable solution for industrial production.
[0032] Working Principle: This high-temperature industrial instrument housing structure ensures efficient heat dissipation even under extreme temperature conditions through an optimized heat dissipation design and air circulation mechanism. When heat is generated within the instrument, it is first transferred to the heat conducting plate 13 via the circuit board 16, and then conducted to the heat sink substrate 15 via the heat conducting pillars 14. The heat sink substrate 15 corresponds to the first vent 3, promoting natural convection heat dissipation. Simultaneously, a fan 10 forces air flow, accelerating the dissipation of heat from the heat conducting fins 11 and heat dissipation holes 12 on the heat sink 6 to the external environment. A dust cover 7 prevents the ingress of dust and foreign matter, protecting the internal electronic components. The display 2 provides real-time data monitoring, while the handle 4 facilitates transportation and installation. The second vent 5 and the first vent 3 form an effective airflow channel, further enhancing the overall heat dissipation effect. Through this multi-layered heat dissipation design and optimized air circulation path, the structure significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency, ensuring stable operation of the instrument in harsh environments such as high temperatures and dust.
