[0038] like Figures 1-10 As shown, this utility model provides a small, high-protection robot control cabinet, including a cabinet body with a cavity inside; at least one support plate 1 is provided inside the cabinet body to divide the cavity into at least two installation areas; each installation area can be used to install electronic components; considering that some electronic components have a high protection level while others have a low protection level, in order to achieve zoned protection, this embodiment also includes a protective structure set in some installation areas to provide dust and water protection for the low protection level electrical components in those installation areas; by installing low protection level electronic components in the same installation area and then selectively protecting that installation area, the protection level of that installation area is improved, thereby providing targeted protection for the low protection level electronic components; all electronic components in the installation areas are arranged in a stacked manner, which can save space and reduce the floor area.
[0039] The control cabinet provided by this utility model improves the internal space utilization of the control cabinet by optimizing the layout of each component and adopting controller stacking technology, making wiring convenient and the structure compact. At the same time, the upper and lower layered design and zoned protection enable the control cabinet to achieve an overall IP54 protection level, making it suitable for various harsh working environments.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in one optional embodiment of this utility model, the cabinet includes a bottom plate 2, a front panel 3, a rear panel 4, a cable routing groove 5, and an upper cover plate 6; wherein:
[0041] Both the upper cover plate 6 and the lower bottom plate 2 are U-shaped structures, and the upper cover plate 6 covers the top of the lower bottom plate 2;
[0042] The front panel 3 is located on the front side of the lower base plate 2 and the upper cover plate 6;
[0043] The rear panel 4 is located on the rear side of the lower base plate 2 and the upper cover plate 6;
[0044] The two ends of the support cable tray 5 are connected to the mounting ears of the front panel 3 and the rear panel 4 by screws, respectively.
[0045] To facilitate connection and ensure connection sealing and stability, in this embodiment, the top of the two free ends of the lower base plate 2 is provided with an inwardly bent first fold 7, and a sealing strip 11 is provided on the first fold 7, and the support plate 1 is fixedly connected to the lower base plate 2 by screws.

Screws are used to press the sealing strips 11 between the front panel 3, rear panel 4, and support plate 1, isolating the upper and lower layers of the support plate 1. Similarly, sealing strips 11 are affixed to the upper cover plate 6, and screws are used to press it tightly against the sealing strips 11 between the front panel 3, rear panel 4, and support plate 1, isolating the upper layer of the support plate 1 from the outside environment. Through the protective isolation provided by the sealing strips 11, components on the upper layer of the support plate 1 that lack high protection are protected. Components such as I / O ports and network ports installed on the front panel 3 and rear panel 4, as well as cooling fans and resistors below the support plate 1, are selected with a protection rating of IP54 or higher.

High-voltage devices are installed in the high-voltage installation area 13, and low-voltage devices are installed in the low-voltage installation area 12. This installation method prevents mutual interference.
[0053] This utility model installs the components on both sides of the electrical cabinet according to the type of strong and weak current, and separates the wiring according to the layout of strong and weak current to avoid interference between strong and weak current. At the same time, the main and auxiliary controllers 16 are stacked and installed by brackets to reduce the occupied area and maximize the utilization of internal space.
[0054] This utility model adopts a layered design and zoned protection. The upper cavity of the control cabinet is sealed and protected, and components in the upper cavity that do not have high protection are protected. The front panel plugs, buttons, and the fan and resistors in the lower cavity are selected with high protection components, so that the control cabinet as a whole reaches the IP54 protection level, which can cope with various harsh working environments. It solves the problem that the traditional control cabinet has a low protection level and cannot be used in high temperature, high humidity and dusty environments.

[0057] This utility model optimizes the layout of various components, adopts stacking technology, and integrates electronic components, thereby reducing the size of internal control modules and components, improving the utilization rate of internal space, and achieving convenient wiring and compact structure. It is suitable for various small space scenarios, facilitates integration and deployment, and solves the problems of traditional control cabinets being large in size, heavy in weight, and difficult to transport.
[0058] As a further improvement of this utility model, the front panel 3 is equipped with an IO port, a network port, a switch, a button, and an indicator light.

[0061] The control cabinet provided by this utility model, through structural design and component selection, achieves an overall IP54 protection rating, providing dust and water protection. It is suitable for use in harsh working environments. It not only significantly reduces the size of the control cabinet, making it suitable for various small space scenarios and easy to integrate and deploy, but also solves the problems of traditional control cabinets being large, heavy, and difficult to transport, as well as the problem of traditional control cabinets having low protection levels and being unable to be used in high-temperature, high-humidity, and dusty environments.
