Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of heat dissipation testing technology for distribution boxes, and in particular to an automated testing device for distribution boxes. Background Technology

[0002] A distribution box, also known as a distribution cabinet, electrical distribution box, or power distribution box, is a device in a power system used to distribute and protect electrical energy. It distributes power from the power source to various electrical devices or loads. Distribution boxes are widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential buildings to ensure a safe and stable power supply and improve electrical safety through equipped protective devices. During use, due to the large number of electronic components inside the distribution box, its internal temperature can become high over time, necessitating the use of cooling devices to dissipate heat.

[0003] During the development of heat sinks, it is impossible to accurately and comprehensively test their heat dissipation performance, resulting in heat sinks failing to meet the actual heat dissipation requirements of equipment such as servers. Currently, it is difficult to test the heat dissipation performance of power distribution boxes, making it difficult to ensure that the internal temperature of the power distribution box remains below the set temperature during prolonged use. This can easily lead to damage to the electronic components inside the power distribution cabinet, and therefore needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0032] This application discloses an automated testing device for distribution boxes. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 An automated testing device for a distribution box includes a housing 1. Two support plates 101 are fixedly connected to the front of the housing 1. Two electric heating rods 102 are fixedly connected to the side of the two support plates 101 that are close to each other. Two fixing seats 3 are fixedly connected to the front of the housing 1. The side of the two fixing seats 3 that are close to each other is fixedly connected to the side of the two support plates 101 that are far apart from each other. The fixing seats 3 can reinforce the support plates 101, improve the stability of the fixing seats 3, and prevent the fixing seats 3 from loosening. A mounting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing 1. Two mounting holes 601 are fixedly opened on the front of the mounting plate 6. The housing 1 can be installed through the mounting plate 6 and the mounting holes 601 to prevent the housing 1 from shaking.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A testing mechanism 2 is installed on the exterior of the housing 1. The testing mechanism 2 includes two mounting bases 201 respectively installed on the left and right sides of the housing 1. A control rod 202 is slidably connected to the inner wall of each mounting base 201. A set of positioning holes 203 is provided on the side of each control rod 202 that is far apart from each other. Threaded holes 204 are provided on the side of each mounting base 201 that is far apart from each other. A threaded positioning rod 205 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of each threaded hole 204. The ends of the two threaded positioning rods 205 that are close to each other extend into the interior of two of the positioning holes 203.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A temperature sensor 206 is fixedly connected to the top of each control lever 202, a controller 210 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and an alarm 209 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1.

[0035] In use, first move the device inside the distribution box, then fix it with the mounting plate 6 to prevent it from shaking. Next, rotate the threaded positioning rod 205 to move it out of the positioning hole 203, and push the control rod 202 upward to move the temperature sensor 206 to the top of the distribution box. Rotate the threaded positioning rod 205 again to re-enter the positioning hole 203 through the threaded hole 204, thus positioning the control rod 202.

[0036] The controller 210 activates the electric heating rod 102, heating the surrounding area and simulating a high internal temperature within the distribution box. Simultaneously, the temperature sensor 206 monitors the internal temperature. When the set temperature is reached, the controller 210 shuts off the electric heating rod 102 and activates the distribution box's cooling mechanism to dissipate heat. The temperature sensor 206 monitors the temperature; if it falls below the set temperature, a signal is sent to the controller 210, which records the time the electric heating rod 102 is shut off and the time the temperature remains below the set value. If the time exceeds the set duration, the alarm 209 is activated to alert personnel that the distribution box's cooling performance is inadequate.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 Each control lever 202 has a first limiting block 207 fixedly connected to its bottom surface, and a second limiting block 208 fixedly connected to its front surface. Through the cooperation of the first limiting block 207 and the second limiting block 208, the control lever 202 can be limited to prevent it from separating from the card holder 201.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two retaining strips 4 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the housing 1. The sides of the two sets of retaining strips 4 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the front and back of the control lever 202, respectively. The retaining strips 4 can limit the control lever 202 and prevent it from shaking during use.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A protective bend plate 5 is fixedly connected to the front of the housing 1. The protective bend plate 5 has two sets of through holes 501 arranged at equal intervals on its front. The protective bend plate 5 and the through holes 501 can isolate the electric heating rod 102 to prevent workers from accidentally touching the heat source, and the through holes 501 can allow heat to be discharged to the outside.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3A U-shaped plate 502 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the protective bending plate 5. The side of the U-shaped plate 502 away from the protective bending plate 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the housing 1. The U-shaped plate 502 can support the protective bending plate 5 and increase the stability of the protective bending plate 5.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A handle 7 is provided on the top of the housing 1. The bottom surface of the handle 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing 1. The handle 7 makes it convenient for staff to carry the device, making it easy to carry.

[0042] The implementation principle of the automated testing device for a distribution box according to this application embodiment is as follows: First, the device is moved inside the distribution box and then fixed by the mounting plate 6 to prevent shaking. Next, by rotating the threaded positioning rod 205, it moves out of the positioning hole 203, pushing the control rod 202 upwards, causing the temperature sensor 206 to move upwards to the top of the distribution box. Rotating the threaded positioning rod 205 again allows it to re-enter the positioning hole 203 through the threaded hole 204, positioning the control rod 202. Then, the controller 210 activates the electric heating rod 102, heating the surrounding area and raising the internal temperature of the distribution box, simulating the high temperature inside the distribution box. Simultaneously, temperature sensor 206 senses the internal temperature of the distribution cabinet. When the temperature reaches the set temperature, controller 210 shuts off the electric heating rod 102 and then activates the heat dissipation mechanism of the distribution box to cool the interior. Temperature sensor 206 senses the temperature, and when the temperature falls below the set temperature, a signal is sent to controller 210, which records the time the electric heating rod 102 is shut off and the time the temperature falls below the set value. If the time exceeds the set duration, alarm 209 is activated to alert personnel that the heat dissipation performance of the distribution box is substandard.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
