Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and more specifically, to a surfer control box. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with social progress and the continuous improvement of living standards, people's pursuit of swimming as a sport has been increasing. However, most swimmers are limited by the size of the pool and find it difficult to swim to their heart's content. A surfer is a device that uses a directional counter-current to propel swimmers in a pool, preventing them from getting close to the shore, thus achieving the goal of unlimited swimming. With the help of a surfer, swimmers can experience an infinity pool even in a smaller pool.
[0003] The electrical control box is a core component of a surfer. As an electrical device used in a swimming pool, it needs to minimize its output voltage to ensure swimmer safety to the greatest extent possible. However, the output voltage of the control boxes in existing surfers on the market is generally between 18V and 36V, exceeding the 12V safe voltage for the human body. This makes it difficult to guarantee swimmer safety in the event of a safety accident involving the electrical device. Furthermore, considering the large amount of water splashed during surfing, there are certain requirements for the waterproof function of the control box, and the waterproof structure of existing control boxes has room for improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to overcome at least one of the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a surfer control box that can reduce the output voltage to a safe range, while keeping it away from water and improving waterproofing, thereby effectively ensuring the safety of swimmers and the stable operation of surfers.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is to provide a surfer control box, including a box body, a power supply assembly, a controller assembly, and a fan. The box body includes a front panel, a first side wall, and a back panel, which together form a first cavity. The power supply, controller, and fan are electrically connected to and mounted on the back panel. The box body also includes a hanging plate and a second side wall. The hanging plate is mounted on the back side of the back panel and, together with the second side wall and the back panel, forms a second cavity. The hanging plate has through holes for suspending the box body on a wall. This solution suspends the surfer control box on a wall, away from the water, ensuring swimmer safety and stable surfer operation, which has significant advantages compared to existing surfers that rely on built-in batteries.
[0006] Furthermore, the output voltage of the controller does not exceed 12V. 220V AC power is input to the power supply component, converted to 24V DC, and then output to the controller component. The controller component is equipped with an inverter to convert the 24V DC power back to 12V AC power for output. Limiting the output voltage prevents difficulties in ensuring human safety in the event of a safety accident involving live equipment.
[0007] Furthermore, the mounting plate area is smaller than the back panel. The housing is equipped with a power switch and a power cord inlet, installed at the bottom of the second side wall. Since surfing generates a large amount of water splashing, the control box should have a certain degree of waterproofing. The design of the mounting plate area being smaller than the back panel allows the surfer control box to be suspended from the wall via the mounting plate, while the back panel blocks the second side wall located between the back panel and the mounting plate. The second side wall has a power switch and a power cord inlet, thus preventing splashing water from entering the housing, protecting the control circuitry, and ensuring the stable operation of the surfer.
[0008] Furthermore, a support column is provided at the bottom of the back plate on the outside of the second cavity to support the back plate against the wall.
[0009] Furthermore, the second cavity is divided into at least two slots by a partition. The fan includes a power supply cooling and waterproof fan and a controller assembly cooling and waterproof fan, each installed in one of the slots. While dissipating heat, the fan also expels humid air from inside the electrical box, ensuring stable operation of the control box. The rational division of the second cavity allows for a more compact arrangement of the electrical box components, which is beneficial for saving space and centralized heat dissipation.
[0010] Furthermore, both the first and second sidewalls are equipped with ventilation panels. Multi-angle ventilation is beneficial for heat dissipation and dehumidification.
[0011] Furthermore, the surfer control box also includes a terminal block socket installed at the bottom of the first side wall for connecting the power cord of the surfer main unit.
[0012] Furthermore, the surfer control box also includes a display panel assembly mounted on the panel.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] The surfer control box provided by this utility model effectively ensures swimmer safety by reducing the output voltage to a safe range of 12V and suspending it away from water. Through a water-splash protection circuit within the box body, enhanced fan cooling through partitioned slots, and multi-angle ventilation panels, it integrates waterproofing, heat dissipation, and dehumidification functions, ensuring stable surfer operation. Simultaneously, its compact structure saves space and facilitates centralized heat dissipation. This control box has significant advantages over existing technologies and is suitable for widespread application. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this invention. To better illustrate the following embodiments, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a surfer control box, including a housing, a power supply assembly 8, a controller assembly 7, and a fan. The housing includes a front panel 1, a first side wall 2, and a back panel 9, which together form a first cavity. The power supply assembly 8 is mounted on a housing stud 205 on the inner surface of the first side wall 2 using nine power screws 801. Figure 5 As shown; the controller assembly 7 is mounted on the housing stud 204 on the inner surface of the first sidewall 2 by two controller screws 701, as... Figure 6 As shown, the backplate 9 is connected via four backplate screws 907, as follows. Figure 9 As shown; the power supply assembly 8, controller assembly 7, and fan are electrically connected; the back plate 9 is fixed to the studs on the inner side of the first sidewall 2 by 15 screws, as shown. Figure 8 As shown; the enclosure also includes a mounting plate 10 and a second side wall 3, the mounting plate 10 being installed on the back of the back panel 9 by 15 screws, as shown. Figure 10 As shown, it forms a second cavity with the second side wall 3 and the back plate 9. The hanging plate 10 has through holes for suspending the box on the wall. This solution suspends the surfer control box on the wall, away from the water, ensuring the safety of the swimmer and the stable operation of the surfer. Compared with existing surfers that rely on built-in batteries, this solution has significant advantages.
[0028] The controller's output voltage does not exceed 12V. 220V AC power is input to the power supply component 8, converted to 24V DC, and then output to the controller component 7. The controller component 7 is equipped with an inverter to convert the 24V DC power back to 12V AC power for output. Limiting the output voltage prevents potential safety risks to personnel in the event of an accident involving live equipment.
[0029] The area of the mounting plate 10 is smaller than that of the back plate 9. The housing is equipped with a power switch and a power cord inlet, and is installed at the bottom of the second side wall 3. In this embodiment, the power switch is a rocker switch 901. The rocker switch 901, waterproof cable head 902, and waterproof head 903 are inserted into the three bottom ports of the second side wall 3. The power cord 904 is passed through the waterproof cable head 902, and the bracket nut is tightened for fixation. Since surfing generates a large amount of water splashing, the control box should have a certain degree of waterproofing. The design of the mounting plate 10 being smaller than that of the back plate 9 allows the back plate 9 to block the second side wall 3 located between the back plate 9 and the mounting plate 10 after the surfer control box is suspended on the wall via the mounting plate 10. This prevents splashing water from wetting the rocker switch 901 or the power cord 904, protects the control circuit, and ensures the stable operation of the surfer.
[0030] The bottom of the back plate 9 is provided with a support column 908 on the outside of the second cavity, which is used to support the back plate 9 on the wall.
[0031] The fan includes a power supply cooling and waterproof fan 905 and a controller cooling and waterproof fan 906; the second cavity is divided into 4 slots by a partition, such as... Figure 7As shown, the power supply cooling and waterproof fan 905 is mounted in the slot near the top with four screws, and the controller cooling and waterproof fan 906 is mounted in the slot near the bottom with four screws. The power supply assembly 8 and the controller assembly 7 are located in adjacent slots. While dissipating heat, the fans also expel humid air from inside the electrical box, ensuring stable operation of the control box. The second cavity is rationally divided, allowing for a more compact arrangement of the electrical box components, which helps save space and concentrate heat dissipation.
[0032] Furthermore, ventilation panels 5 are provided at the bottom of the first sidewall 2 and the second sidewall 3. Multi-angle ventilation is beneficial for heat dissipation and dehumidification.
[0033] The surfer control box also includes a terminal block socket 4, installed at the bottom of the first side wall 2, for connecting the power cord of the surfer main unit. Figure 2 As shown, there are 3 terminal block sockets 4, which are installed and fixed in the screw holes 201 of the box by 12 screws 401.
[0034] The surfer control box also includes a display panel assembly 6, which is installed in the first cavity and attached to the panel 1. In this embodiment, as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, panel 1 is made of glass and is attached to the first sidewall 2 by adhesive. Display panel assembly 6 includes a screen and operation buttons, and is fixed to the housing studs 203 on the inner surface of panel 1 by 11 screws 601. Panel 1 has an inner frame that conforms to the overall shape of display panel assembly 6 and the shapes of the screen and operation buttons, so that panel 1 and display panel assembly 6 fit tightly together.
[0035] The surfer control box provided in this embodiment effectively ensures swimmer safety by reducing the output voltage to a safe range of 12V and suspending it away from the water. Through a water-splash protection circuit within the box, enhanced fan cooling via partitioned slots, and multi-angle ventilation panels 5, it integrates waterproofing, heat dissipation, and dehumidification functions, ensuring stable surfer operation. Simultaneously, its compact structure saves space and facilitates centralized heat dissipation. This control box has significant advantages over existing technologies and is suitable for widespread application.
