Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment and automation control technology, and more specifically, to a highly integrated network-type universal electrical box. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional electrical boxes typically have their various functional components fixed inside, requiring complete disassembly for removal. This is particularly time-consuming and inefficient during maintenance and debugging, lacking flexibility. Furthermore, the complex and messy internal wiring results in low overall integration and a generally large size, making them unsuitable for flexible placement within equipment enclosures and adaptable to changing working environments. Additionally, traditional electrical boxes are inadequate in terms of network communication and intelligent control, failing to meet the demands of modern industry for remote equipment monitoring and intelligent management, and exhibiting a low level of intelligence. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a universal electrical box with high integration, strong flexibility, and network communication capabilities. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a highly integrated universal electrical box to solve the limitations of traditional electrical boxes in terms of integration, flexibility and network communication.

[0004] The objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A highly integrated network-type universal electrical box includes a box body, a power supply module, and a network communication module. The box body has an inner mounting frame with multiple fixing holes spaced apart. The power supply module is located inside the box body on one side and is used for power supply. The network communication module is located inside the box body on the side away from the power supply module and includes multiple network ports for connecting external devices. Each module has a mounting groove on its side that mates with the mounting frame. The inner side of the mounting groove abuts against the connecting frame. Multiple mounting holes are provided through the mounting groove, and the mounting holes correspond to the fixing holes and their axes coincide.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the mounting frame is located at the inner edge of the electrical box body for the installation of various modules. During assembly, each module is placed on the mounting frame through the mounting slots on the side, so that the inner surface of the mounting slot abuts against the mounting frame. At this time, the mounting holes on the mounting slots correspond one-to-one with the connection holes on the mounting frame. Then, the modules can be fixed to the mounting frame with screws and other fastening parts. By setting mounting slots on each module, after removing the fastening parts, each module can be installed and disassembled by plugging and unplugging, making the operation faster and greatly improving the flexibility of the electrical box during use. Especially during inspection and maintenance, it is more convenient to operate each module independently. Moreover, the modular design allows each module to perform its function independently, which helps to reduce the occupied volume, achieve a higher degree of integration, and facilitate independent debugging and maintenance. Among them, the power supply module is used to supply power to the internal and external power units, and the network communication module supports multiple network communication protocols, enabling the electrical box to achieve real-time communication with other intelligent devices, thereby possessing network communication capabilities and improving the intelligence level of the electrical box.

[0007] Furthermore, the power module includes an AC module and a DC module, which are arranged in parallel.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the AC module and DC module are used to provide AC power and DC power respectively to meet the needs of different application scenarios. The parallel arrangement of the AC module and DC module helps to improve integration and reduce the space occupied.

[0009] Furthermore, the AC module includes a mounting bracket, and a circuit breaker and an AC fuse mounted on the mounting bracket, with mounting slots located on both sides of the mounting bracket.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the AC module is connected to the mounting frame through mounting slots on both sides of the mounting bracket. The circuit breaker and AC fuse are used to disconnect the circuit in case of overload or leakage, playing a protective role and ensuring the safety of use.

[0011] Furthermore, the DC module includes a mounting plate, and a switching power supply and a DC fuse mounted on the mounting plate, with mounting slots located on both sides of the mounting plate.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the DC module is connected to the mounting frame through mounting slots on both sides of the mounting plate. The mounting plate is equipped with a switching power supply and a DC fuse. The switching power supply is used to output DC power, and the DC fuse is used to provide overload protection and improve safety.

[0013] Furthermore, the network communication module includes a switch and a splitter arranged in parallel, and the mounting slot is located on the end faces of both sides of the switch and the splitter.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the network communication module includes two sets of network modules: a switch and a splitter. The switch is used for communication of mainstream protocols, while the splitter is used for communication such as EtherCAT servo and remote I / O. Through the two sets of network modules, real-time communication with other intelligent devices can be realized, which facilitates remote monitoring and intelligent management.

[0015] Furthermore, a connecting plate is provided on one side of the electrical box body, and an interface module is installed on the connecting plate. The interface module includes multiple external interfaces for connecting to the outside.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the external interface is used to connect to the outside, thereby meeting the input and output requirements of the electrical box.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a heat dissipation module, which includes an intake fan and an exhaust fan, respectively located on opposite sides of the electrical box body.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the heat dissipation module includes an intake fan and an exhaust fan installed on two opposite surfaces of the electrical box body. The intake fan and exhaust fan enhance the air circulation inside the electrical box, improve the heat dissipation speed and effect, and ensure the safety of use.

[0019] Furthermore, the heat dissipation module also includes a power cooling fan located inside the electrical box, and the power cooling fan is located on one side of the power module.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the airflow direction of the power supply cooling fan is directed towards the power supply module, which is used to dissipate heat for the power supply separately and eliminate the safety hazards caused by the power supply module being too hot.

[0021] Furthermore, a filter is also provided inside the electrical box body.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the filter is used for frequency selection, eliminating harmonic interference and suppressing noise, and protecting the system in the circuit.

[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a common I / O module and a PLC control module. The common I / O module includes multiple I / O interfaces, and the PLC control module is used to control and manage the electrical box.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the IO interface is divided into input interface and output interface, which is used to connect the emergency stop, start stop and reset buttons of external devices, or safety signals such as safety light curtains and access control switches, so as to connect the electrical box with external devices. The PLC control module can receive data signals transmitted by the network communication module and control and manage the various components of the internal and external actuators of the electrical box according to the preset control strategy (PLC program).

[0025] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0026] This application adopts a modular design with high integration, reducing the overall size and facilitating flexible placement within the equipment chassis to adapt to various working environments. Each module has a mounting slot, and the electrical box body has a corresponding mounting frame, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly of modules via plug-and-play. This high flexibility eliminates the need to disassemble the entire electrical box during installation and maintenance; simply pull out the corresponding module, simplifying operation and increasing efficiency. Furthermore, the modular and quick-assembly design allows for easy selection, replacement, combination, and expansion of modules according to actual needs, effectively meeting the requirements of different application scenarios and improving compatibility. By incorporating a network communication module, this application enables the electrical box to have network communication capabilities, facilitating remote real-time monitoring and intelligent management.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0041] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In a preferred embodiment of this application, a highly integrated network-type universal electrical box is provided, which includes an electrical box body 1, a power module 2 and a network communication module 3. The inner side of the electrical box body 1 is provided with an installation frame 11, and each module has an installation groove 7 on its side that cooperates with the installation frame 11. Each module is detachably connected to the installation frame 11 through the installation groove 7.

[0044] In this embodiment, the interior of the electrical box body 1 is hollow. Mounting frames 11 are provided at the top and bottom edges of the inner side of the electrical box body 1. During assembly, after the functional modules are arranged, they abut against the mounting frames 11 via mounting slots 7. Each mounting slot 7 has a through mounting hole 71, and the mounting holes 71 correspond one-to-one with the fixing holes 111. Therefore, fastening parts (such as screws, not specifically shown in the figure) can be used to fix each module to the mounting frame 11 through the fixing holes 111 and the mounting holes 71 (the figure shows the state without fastening parts). Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the bottom and sides of the mounting frame 11 are provided with threaded sleeves 112. The threaded sleeves 112 have internal threads for use with threaded fastening parts, so that each module is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 11. After the fastening parts are removed, each module can be installed and disassembled by plugging and unplugging, which facilitates the installation of each functional module and the disassembly work during subsequent maintenance. The overall flexibility is high. In addition, through modular design, each module can perform its function independently and the wiring does not affect each other, which helps to reduce the occupied volume and achieve a higher degree of integration. During maintenance and debugging, each module can be pulled out for independent operation. The drawer-like plug-in connection makes disassembly operation more convenient.

The mounting plate 221 is equipped with a DC working indicator light 224, which is used to reflect the working status of the DC module 22.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, a filter 13 is provided on the bottom surface inside the electrical box body 1. It should be noted that the filter 13 in this embodiment mainly functions for the AC module 21 to eliminate harmonic interference and suppress high-frequency noise, thereby protecting the servo system, robotic arm system, etc. in the circuit. If necessary, a corresponding filtering device can also be provided for the DC module 22.

Specifically, the switch 31 is an EtherNET switch used for communication with mainstream protocols such as FINS, MODBUS, and ADS, while the splitter 32 is an EtherCAT splitter used for communication with EtherCAT servos and remote I / O. Through the two sets of network modules, real-time communication with other intelligent devices can be achieved, facilitating remote monitoring and intelligent management. Each set of network modules has mounting slots 7 on both the upper and lower ends for connection and installation with the mounting frame 11, and each set of network modules has 8 network ports 33 for data interaction with external connections.
