Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electrical equipment, and in particular to a small IP68 multi-functional protective enclosure. Background Technology

[0002] In electrical construction, the protection rating refers to the degree of protection provided by the enclosure, partitions, and other parts to the human body when approaching live parts and touching moving parts, as well as to prevent external objects from entering the internal equipment. IP68 is a dust protection rating, completely preventing dust and completely protecting against contact with live parts inside the cabinet. I represents the level of protection against solid foreign objects, with the highest level being 6. P represents the level of protection against water ingress, with the second digit indicating the degree of waterproofing, the highest level being 8.

[0003] In the construction of projects such as overhead lines, cable tunnels, and intelligent grounding, the high-specification IP68 protection requirements often necessitate significant investment in mold-making costs. Furthermore, the failure rate of protection after mold making is high, and the protection level often fails to meet national requirements, necessitating repeated mold repairs, leading to exhaustion and unnecessary waste. On-site installation often requires opening the enclosure (for inserting public / private network communication cards, etc.), which compromises the product's factory IP protection. Re-closing the enclosure on-site cannot fully guarantee the IP68 protection specification. Additionally, while the conventional method for achieving IP68 protection is to pot glue inside the enclosure, this is only applicable to general products. For certain products that cannot be potted internally (such as on-site enclosure opening, PCB board heat dissipation, and connection issues with plug-and-play wiring), conventional methods cannot be used. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a small IP68 multi-functional protective enclosure that saves costs and is convenient for on-site operation.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model includes a chassis housing, in which a chamber is provided. An upper cover plate is closed on the upper end of the chassis housing, and a lower cover plate is closed on the lower end. A first sealing element is provided between the upper cover plate and the chassis housing, and a second sealing element is provided between the lower cover plate and the chassis housing. An opening communicating with the chamber is provided on the chassis housing, and a plug is detachably connected to the opening.

[0006] Furthermore, the chassis body is provided with a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer. The first adhesive layer is located at the joint between the upper cover plate and the chassis body, and the second adhesive layer is located at the joint between the lower cover plate and the chassis body.

[0007] Furthermore, both the first and second seals are silicone seals and are arranged in a U-shape.

[0008] Furthermore, connecting plates extend outward from both sides of the lower cover plate, and connecting holes are provided on the connecting plates.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting plate and the lower cover plate are integrally formed.

[0010] Furthermore, the opening is located on the side of the chassis.

[0011] Furthermore, the plug is threaded onto the opening.

[0012] Furthermore, the plug is an external hexagonal metal plug.

[0013] Furthermore, both the upper cover and the lower cover are connected to the chassis body by screws.

[0014] Furthermore, the chassis is made of square aluminum tubing.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] Compared to the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention eliminates the need for mold making by fitting the upper and lower cover plates onto the upper and lower ends of the chassis, saving on mold costs. Secondly, the inclusion of a first sealing element between the upper cover plate and the chassis, and a second sealing element between the lower cover plate and the chassis, ensures the IP68 protection rating of the multi-functional protective chassis. Furthermore, the detachable plug at the opening of the chassis allows for easy access to the chassis during on-site construction. After construction, the plug is reinstalled to maintain the IP68 protection performance of the multi-functional protective chassis, preventing damage to the overall sealing performance of the chassis from extensive opening. Therefore, this invention saves costs with its simple structure, maintains the protection rating of the chassis without overall glue application, and facilitates on-site operations when work inside the chassis is required, ensuring the IP68 protection rating after construction. These advantages make this invention cost-effective and convenient for on-site work. Attached Figure Description

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the present invention includes a chassis 1, a chamber 2 is provided in the chassis 1, an upper cover plate 3 is covered at the upper end of the chassis 1 and a lower cover plate 5 is covered at the lower end, a first sealing element 6 is provided between the upper cover plate 3 and the chassis 1, a second sealing element 7 is provided between the lower cover plate 5 and the chassis 1, and an opening 8 communicating with the chamber 2 is provided on the chassis 1, with a plug detachably connected to the opening 8.

[0028] Compared to the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model eliminates the need for mold making by fitting the upper cover plate 3 and the lower cover plate 5 onto the upper and lower ends of the chassis body 1, thus saving mold making costs. Secondly, the arrangement of a first sealing element 6 between the upper cover plate 3 and the chassis body 1, and a second sealing element 7 between the lower cover plate 5 and the chassis body 1, satisfies the IP68 protection level requirement for the multi-functional protective chassis. Furthermore, the detachable plug 9 connected to the opening 8 of the chassis body 1 allows for easy removal during on-site construction. The plug 9 facilitates on-site work inside the chassis. After construction, the plug 9 is reinstalled on the opening 8 to maintain the IP68 protection performance of the multi-functional protective chassis and avoid large-scale opening that could damage the overall sealing performance of the chassis. Therefore, this utility model saves costs with its simple structure, and can ensure the protection level of the protective chassis without overall potting. It is also easy to operate when on-site construction requires work inside the chassis, ensuring the IP68 chassis protection level after construction. This utility model has the advantages of cost saving and ease of on-site operation.

[0029] In some embodiments, the chassis 1 is surrounded by a first adhesive layer 10 and a second adhesive layer 11. The first adhesive layer 10 is located at the joint between the upper cover plate 3 and the chassis 1, and the second adhesive layer 11 is located at the joint between the lower cover plate 5 and the chassis 1. Both the first sealing element 6 and the second sealing element 7 are silicone sealing elements and are arranged in a U-shape. Specifically, in order to maximize the IP68 protection level, by providing the first adhesive layer 10 at the joint between the upper cover plate 3 and the chassis 1 and the second adhesive layer 11 at the joint between the lower cover plate 5 and the chassis 1, an additional layer of protection can be provided on top of the first sealing element 6 and the second sealing element 7, further ensuring that the protection level reaches IP68.

[0030] In some embodiments, connecting plates 12 extend outward from both sides of the lower cover plate 5, and the connecting plates 12 have connecting holes 13; the connecting plates 12 are integrally formed with the lower cover plate 5; the opening 8 is opened on the side of the chassis 1; the plug 9 is threaded onto the opening 8; the plug 9 is an external hexagonal metal plug; both the upper cover plate 3 and the lower cover plate 5 are connected to the chassis 1 by screws. The plug 9 is made of SUS304 stainless steel. Specifically, the connecting plates 12 are placed on the mounting surface and connected to the connecting holes 13 by screws for fixed installation.

[0031] In some embodiments, the chassis 1 is made of square aluminum tubing. Specifically, square aluminum tubing is a common material on the market, and using square aluminum tubing as the chassis 1 can save costs.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in specific implementation, the small IP68 multi-functional protective enclosure can be applied to an edge IoT agent device in a cable channel. During the production process, the inside of the enclosure 1, which houses the device antenna, aviation plug, and switch, is sealed with waterproof glue. After debugging, the upper cover plate 3 and the lower cover plate 5 are sealed, and the joint is sealed with glue to form the first glue layer 10 and the second glue layer 11. During on-site construction, the engineers need to open the plug 9, which is an IP68 external hexagonal metal plug, and install the customer's proprietary public / private network communication SIM card on the PCB board. After installation, the plug 9 is re-locked onto the opening 8 of the enclosure 1 using a wrench.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model.
