[0024] Figure 2 It is an explosion diagram of the utility model;

[0025] Figure 3 It is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model relates to a switch control box drying device, which is mainly used to improve the drying effect inside the switch control box, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the control system. The drying device has a reasonable structural design and comprehensive functions, and effectively solves the problem of water accumulation in traditional switch control boxes in humid environments.

[0028] The device comprises a box body 1 located within a switch control box. An opening 11 is formed at the top of the box body 1. A top cover 2 is detachably connected to the opening 11. The top cover 2 comprises a cover frame 21 and a water-absorbing membrane 22. The membrane 22 is made of a water-absorbing material, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film. This membrane has excellent water absorption capacity and can continuously absorb moisture from the switch control box, maintaining a dry environment.

[0029] Inside the box 1, a desiccant 3 is installed to effectively enhance dehumidification, ensuring that moisture does not affect important electrical components and the oil pump. A drain port 12 is located at the bottom of the box 1. This drain port is connected to the oil leak hole on the control box via a drain pipe 4, allowing excess moisture inside the control box to drain smoothly out, preventing it from accumulating inside.

[0030] Specifically, when the water-absorbing membrane 22 absorbs moisture from the switch control box and reaches a certain saturation level, it drips excess water onto the desiccant 3. By absorbing this moisture, the desiccant 3 further enhances the drying effect of the internal environment. This design achieves multi-level moisture management: first, the water-absorbing membrane collects the moisture, and then the desiccant absorbs it deeply.

[0031] In order to increase the practicality and convenience of the desiccant 3, the design takes into account the replaceability of the desiccant. The desiccant 3 can be made of high-efficiency water-absorbing particles such as calcium chloride and silica gel, and the user can replace it regularly as needed. More preferably, the desiccant 3 can also be made of a disappearing desiccant such as soda lime. When the soda lime absorbs water, it will be converted into a muddy flow state with strong fluidity, which can be smoothly discharged to the outside of the control box through the drain pipe 4. This design not only reduces the frequency of maintenance, but also prevents the water absorbed in the desiccant from evaporating again, thereby improving the overall drying effect of the switch control box.

[0032] Furthermore, a support mesh 5 is removably mounted within the inner cavity of the box body 1. This mesh is designed to effectively support the desiccant 3, allowing it to remain suspended within the box body. This suspended design not only increases the desiccant's contact area and enhances its water absorption capacity, but also facilitates subsequent drainage. The support mesh prevents the desiccant 3 from directly contacting the bottom of the box body, preventing water accumulation caused by humid environments and ensuring efficient desiccant use.

[0033] Preferably, the inner cavity of the box body 1 is also filled with a layer of buffer cotton, especially around the desiccant 3. The provision of such buffer cotton can effectively reduce the shaking of desiccant particles caused by equipment vibration, ensure the stability and uniformity of the desiccant during use, and thus improve the overall dehumidification effect.

[0034] Furthermore, a funnel-shaped water collection chamber 13 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the box body 1. The design of the water collection chamber 13 allows water to naturally flow to the lowest point, facilitating subsequent drainage. The drain port 12 is located at the lowest point of the water collection chamber 13, ensuring that if water accumulates, it can be drained quickly and smoothly, keeping the interior of the control box dry.

[0035] To avoid interference with the fixtures described later, the lower portion of the water collection chamber 13 is intentionally offset to one side. This design takes into account the spatial relationship between the water collection chamber and the fixtures, ensuring that the shape and position of the water collection chamber do not affect the proper function of the fixtures during use. By offsetting the lower portion of the water collection chamber 13, sufficient space is effectively freed up to provide the necessary range of motion and installation position for the fixtures.

[0036] To enhance the drainage system's functionality, the drain pipe 4 is equipped with a U- or V-shaped trap section 41. This trap section 41, similar in design to the traps found in bathroom sewers, primarily prevents small animals such as insects, rats, and ants from entering the drain pipe. Furthermore, the trap section 41 effectively blocks air flow between the inside and outside, further protecting the stability of the switch control box's internal environment.

[0037] Furthermore, the drain pipe 4 is detachably connected to a joint 42, which is used to connect the two drain pipes 4 together. Both ends of the joint 42 are threaded, making it easy to disassemble and maintain. A pocket-shaped filter 421 can also be connected to the joint 42 as a secondary protection device to further prevent small animals such as insects, rats, and ants from entering the drainage system. Of course, the trap section 41 can also be omitted, and the filter 421 can be used alone to achieve this protection function.

[0038] Furthermore, a one-way valve 7 is provided on the drainage pipe 4. The setting of the one-way valve can not only prevent the entry of small animals such as insects, rats, and ants, but also prevent water from flowing back, ensure the unidirectionality of the drainage system, and effectively maintain the dry environment inside the switch control box.

[0039] Finally, the lower end of the drain pipe 4 is provided with a connection base 8, to which a hollow drain bolt 81 is rotatably connected. The inner cavity of drain bolt 81 is connected to the drain pipe 4 and is fixed to the oil leakage hole of the switch control box via a threaded connection. This design facilitates the fixing of the drain pipe 4 while ensuring that water can be discharged smoothly to the outside, effectively enhancing the stability and reliability of the overall drainage system.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to prevent the drying device from shaking or loosening during operation, thereby affecting the normal operation of other components in the switch control box, a special fixing device 6 is provided on the box body 1. This fixing device 6 can effectively fix the box body 1 firmly in the switch control box, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire system during use.

[0041] Preferably, the fixing device 6 comprises a hoop 61 connected to the bottom of the box body 1 and a locking bolt 62 for locking the hoop 61. The design of the hoop 61 allows it to be firmly fixed to the oil pump position in the control box. This configuration not only enhances the fixing force but also adapts to the internal structure of the control box, providing better support. By adjusting the locking bolt 62, the tightness of the hoop 61 can be adjusted at any time as needed, thus achieving a flexible fixing solution.

[0042] Furthermore, the cover frame 21 of the top cover 2 is tightly combined with the opening 11 in a snap-fit ​​manner. At the same time, in order to further enhance the firmness between the top cover 2 and the box body 1, a strapping belt 9 (such as Figure 1 As shown, the two ends of the strapping band 9 are connected to the box body, and the middle is pressed on the top cover 2. The strapping band 9 not only strengthens the top cover 2, but also effectively prevents the top cover from shaking or detaching due to vibration during use.

[0043] This multi-fixing method ensures that the entire drying device maintains excellent stability within the switch control box, ensuring the effective operation of each component, whether in normal operation or in high-vibration environments. This design improves the overall performance and service life of the equipment, providing users with a safer and more reliable operating experience.
