Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the position or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations of this utility model.
[0038] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method to improve the waterproof performance of energy storage cabinets, thereby ensuring their safe operation.
[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 6 To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an energy storage cabinet with a waterproof device, including a cabinet body and a waterproof device.
[0040] The cabinet includes a cabinet body and a top cover 110 disposed on the top of the cabinet body. The cabinet body includes a front door 120 and a rear door 130, which are disposed on both sides of the cabinet body. The top of the top cover 110 is provided with a protruding structure 111 for liquid to flow to the periphery of the top cover 110.
[0041] It is understandable that the front door 120 and the rear door 130 can rotate relative to the top cover 110 for the installation and maintenance of the high-voltage power module and various live devices inside the cabinet body. After use, the front door 120 and the rear door 130 are closed and locked to keep the front door 120 and the rear door 130 in a relatively fixed position relative to the top cover 110.
[0042] The waterproofing device includes two water-blocking strips 200 disposed on the top of the cover 110. The two water-blocking strips 200 are parallel to each other, with one water-blocking strip 200 located above the front door 120 and the other water-blocking strip 200 located above the rear door 130.
[0043] Two water-blocking strips 200 are provided at the edge of the raised structure 111 to interfere with the flow direction of liquid flowing from the raised structure 111 to the water-blocking strips 200, so as to prevent most of the liquid from sliding directly down the side of the cabinet body with the front door 120 and / or the rear door 130, thereby reducing the possibility of liquid entering the cabinet body through the front door 120 and the rear door 130.
[0044] The protruding structure 111 allows the liquid to flow to the perimeter of the top cover 110. At the same time, two water-blocking strips 200 are provided on the top of the top cover 110. The two water-blocking strips 200 can block the original flow direction of the liquid, so that the liquid can only flow out along the extension direction of the two water-blocking strips 200. With one water-blocking strip 200 located above the front door 120 and the other water-blocking strip 200 located above the rear door 130, the liquid flows out along the sides of the cabinet body where the front door 120 and rear door 130 are not located, improving the waterproof effect of the front door 120 and rear door 130 in the energy storage cabinet and ensuring the safe operation of the energy storage cabinet.
[0045] In this embodiment, the cabinet body also includes two oppositely arranged side panels 140 and a top plate 150 connected to the top of the two side panels 140. The front door 120 and the rear door 130 are hinged to the side panels 140 so that the side panels 140, the top plate 150, the front door 120 and the rear door 130 together form a cavity with a receiving space. The side panels 140 have hinges for hinged connection of the front door 120 and the rear door 130. The hinge is located on the outside of the cabinet body to prevent liquid from entering the cavity through the hinge. A reinforcing beam can be provided between the two side panels 140 and the beam can be connected to the bottom of the top plate 150 to increase the overall structural strength of the cabinet body.
[0046] In addition, the cabinet body is also equipped with a bottom plate, which seals the bottom of the cavity. The height of the bottom plate from the ground can be adjusted according to the actual situation to achieve the above purpose.
[0047] The raised structure 111 is specifically a pyramid. Considering that the cabinet body is a cuboid structure, the pyramid can be a square pyramid. The bottom of the four sides of the square pyramid corresponds to the front door 120, the rear door 130, and the two side panels 140, respectively, so that the liquid flows along the four sides to the bottom edge of the square pyramid. Two water-blocking strips 200 are set on the two bottom edges, so that the liquid slides down the sides. The top of the raised structure 111 is lower than the top of the water-blocking strips 200 to avoid a sharp top protrusion, so as to facilitate the transportation or installation of the energy storage cabinet, and at the same time, it will not affect the hydrophobic performance of the top of the energy storage cabinet.
[0048] Please see Figure 7It should be noted that the top cover 110 is located above the top plate 150. Both sides of the top plate 150 are provided with extensions 160. The two extensions 160 are provided with first seals 300 on opposite sides. One first seal 300 is attached to the front door 120 in the closed state, and the other first seal 300 is attached to the rear door 130 in the closed state.
[0049] Specifically, when the front door 120 is open, the side of the front door 120 facing the rear door 130 is separated from the first sealing element 300; when the front door 120 is closed, the side of the front door 120 facing the rear door 130 is tightly fitted with the first sealing element 300, which can play a role in sealing and preventing water. When the rear door 130 is open, the side of the rear door 130 facing the front door 120 is separated from the first sealing element 300; when the rear door 130 is closed, the side of the rear door 130 facing the front door 120 is tightly fitted with the first sealing element 300, which can play a role in sealing and preventing water.
[0050] The extension 160 has a bent structure and includes a first segment 161, a second segment 163 and a third segment 162 connected in sequence. The first segment 161 extends toward the side away from the top cover 110, the third segment 162 extends toward the top cover 110, the second segment 163 is connected to the bottom of the first segment 161 and the third segment 162 to form a water guide groove 164, and the first seal 300 is disposed at the end of the third segment 162 away from the second segment 163.
[0051] In this embodiment, the extension 160 has a U-shaped structure. The first segment 161 and the third segment 162 respectively constitute two vertical parts of the U-shaped structure, and the second segment 163 constitutes the bottom of the U-shaped structure. Preferably, the first segment 161 and the third segment 162 are parallel to each other and both perpendicular to the second segment 163, so as to facilitate the processing of the extension 160. The distance between the first segment 161 and the third segment 162 can be selected according to the actual situation, as long as the above purpose can be achieved.
[0052] The first segment 161 is connected to the top plate 150, and the vertical distance of the third segment 162 is less than the vertical distance of the first segment 161, so that when the second segment 163 is set horizontally, the top of the third segment 162 is lower than the top of the first segment 161, so that the height corresponding to the first sealing member 300 set on the top of the third segment 162 is lower than the height of the top cover 110, so as to satisfy the contact between the top of the front door 120 or the rear door 130 and the first sealing member 300.
[0053] In some embodiments, the top cover 110 includes a first horizontal portion 112 and a first vertical portion 113 connected together. The first horizontal portion 112 extends toward the first segment 161, and the first vertical portion 113 extends toward the second segment 163. The top of the front door 120 and the rear door 130 are each provided with a second horizontal portion 121 and a second vertical portion 122 connected together. The second horizontal portion 121 extends toward the first segment 161, and the second vertical portion 122 extends toward the second segment 163. The height of the first horizontal portion 112 is higher than the height of the second horizontal portion 121, and the first vertical portion 113 is located between the second vertical portion 122 and the first segment 161. A second sealing member 400 is provided on the side of the second horizontal portion 121 facing the first horizontal portion 112 to seal the first gap between the front door 120 and the top cover 110, and the second gap between the rear door 130 and the top cover 110, to prevent some liquid from entering the opposite side of the front door 120 and the rear door 130 along the first gap under the influence of natural weather such as wind.
[0054] The second seal 400 can be fixed by adhesive bonding, screw fixing or other methods to achieve a stable connection.
[0055] A third gap is formed between the first vertical portion 113 and the second vertical portion 122, and the bottom opening of the third gap is located above the water guide channel 164, so that the liquid flowing out along the third gap flows into the water guide channel 164, thereby preventing the liquid from contacting the opposite side of the front door 120 and the rear door 130. The width of the water guide channel 164 is the distance between the first segment 161 and the third segment 162. The width of the water guide channel 164 should be greater than or equal to five times the distance between the first vertical portion 113 and the second vertical portion 122, so that the liquid located in the third gap can fall into the water guide channel 164 in a better way. At the same time, the depth of the water guide channel 164 (the length of the second end in the vertical direction) should be 1.1 to 1.5 times the width of the water guide channel 164, within which a good waterproof effect is achieved.
[0056] In this embodiment, the cabinet body also includes a vertical flow channel that connects to both ends of the water guide trough 164 for liquid outflow. By setting the vertical flow channel on the outside of the cabinet body, the liquid in the water guide trough 164 can flow out in a timely manner and will not enter the interior of the cabinet body.
[0057] The bottom of the first vertical section 113 and the bottom of the second vertical section 122 are both lower than the top of the first segment 161, and the bottom of the second vertical section 122 is higher than the top of the third segment 162. Through the different height difference between the bottom of the second vertical section 122 and the top of the third segment 162, collisions with the extension 160 during the opening and closing of the front door 120 or the rear door 130 can be avoided.
[0058] Meanwhile, the third section 162 has a slot for fixing the first seal 300 on the side facing the first section 161 to ensure the stability of the first seal 300. The first seal 300 can be made of EPDM sealing strip, which is installed at the top of the third section 162 and has a good sealing effect. After a 10-minute spray test with a 360-degree water flow rate of not less than 15L per minute, there is no leakage inside the equipment, which meets the IPX5 waterproof characteristics.
[0059] The second sealing element 400 is specifically a sealing felt strip. The second sealing element 400 can be made of polypropylene. The materials and types of the first sealing element 300 and the second sealing element 400 can be selected according to the actual situation, as long as the above purpose can be achieved.
[0060] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.
[0061] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
[0062] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
