Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cabinet waterproofing technology, specifically to a cabinet with a waterproof structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of modern society, the construction of highways has also developed rapidly. Therefore, some necessary highway auxiliary equipment also needs to be built simultaneously. As the main device of highway exit, the cabinet is an indispensable part of the highway. Cabinet-type robots are used to protect pedestrians and other vehicles when toll station lanes intersect with other tracks. As a channel card issuing and receiving device, the robot is used to manage vehicles and regulate vehicle entry and exit.
[0003] With the development of modern society, toll booths and outdoor equipment racks are becoming increasingly intelligent and island-like. As a result, some existing highway robots are no longer covered by the toll booth canopy, placing stricter requirements on their waterproofing. The internal equipment of the robots also needs to be waterproofed for maintenance, making waterproofing particularly important.
[0004] (1) The frame connecting the cabinet body and the two cabinet doors has an inward fold, and the concave fold divides the cabinet body frame into two parts. Each part is surrounded by a waterproof sealing strip. After the cabinet doors are closed, the waterproof sealing strips of each part of the cabinet body are pressed together, thereby achieving a relatively reliable waterproof performance. However, due to the presence of the central column, the installation, operation and maintenance of equipment inside the cabinet are inconvenient, and the space utilization rate inside the cabinet is low.
[0005] (2) A groove is made on the door frame of the cabinet, and then a folded edge matching the groove is set on one of the cabinet doors. A waterproof sealing strip is fixed on the back of the folded edge. The waterproof sealing strip at the folded edge is then pressed into the groove so that the folded edge and the door frame are on the same plane. Then, the door frame and the folded edge are pressed together by setting a rubber strip on the back of the other cabinet door to seal it. This design requires a large pressure to press the waterproof sealing strip into the groove. The larger the cabinet door, the more difficult it is to press the waterproof sealing strip into the groove. The flatness of the folded edge and the door frame is not easy to guarantee, which can easily lead to water leakage, poor sealing performance, and poor waterproof effect. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The inner surfaces of the left door and the right door are respectively provided with a first outer folded edge and a second outer folded edge around the perimeter, corresponding to the side facing the door edge. The upper and lower parts of the inner surface of the right side of the left door are respectively provided with a first upper support plate and a first lower support plate, and the upper and lower parts of the inner surface of the left side of the right door are respectively provided with a second upper support plate and a second lower support plate.
[0010] When the left and right doors are closed, the planes of the rubber strip mounting surface, the sealing rainproof rubber strip, the first upper support plate, and the first lower support plate on the left door form a first drainage area for rainwater evacuation between the planes and the door edge. The planes of the rubber strip mounting surface, the sealing rainproof rubber strip, the second upper support plate, and the second lower support plate on the right door form a second drainage area for rainwater evacuation between the planes and the door edge. The bottom of the first outer folded edge and the second outer folded edge are provided with a first drainage hole and a second drainage hole.
[0011] Optionally, a first water trough is provided at the bottom of the left door body corresponding to the position of the first outer fold, and a second water trough is provided at the bottom of the right door body corresponding to the position of the second outer fold. The first drain hole and the second drain hole are respectively opened on the first water trough and the second water trough.
[0012] Optionally, the first outer fold includes a first fold plate and a second fold plate, the first fold plate being perpendicularly connected to the left door body, the second fold plate being perpendicular to the first fold plate, and the second fold plate facing the inside of the left door body;
[0013] The second outer fold includes a third fold and a fourth fold. The third fold is perpendicularly connected to the right door body, and the fourth fold is perpendicular to the third fold. The fourth fold near the left side of the right door body faces the outside of the left door body, and the fourth folds near the right, upper, and lower sides of the right door body all face the inside of the left door body.
[0014] Optionally, the cabinet is provided with side doors on both the left and right sides.
[0015] Optionally, the left door and the right door are connected to the door frame via hinges or latches.
[0016] Optionally, the left door and the right door are made of a waterproof material.
[0017] Optionally, the waterproof material is wood, metal, rubber, or thermoplastic elastomer.
[0018] Optionally, the upper and lower parts of the door edge are provided with concave structures corresponding to the closed positions of the left and right door bodies.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. Based on further analysis and research of existing technical problems, this application provides a cabinet with a waterproof structure, including a cabinet body. The front of the cabinet body is provided with a door frame, a left door, and a right door. A sealing rainproof strip is provided on the outer edge of the door frame, and a drainage groove is provided around the outer edge of the sealing rainproof strip. The inner surfaces of the left door and the right door are provided with a first outer folded edge and a second outer folded edge. When the left and right doors are closed, the left and right doors respectively form a first drainage area and a second drainage area for rainwater evacuation. The bottom of the first and second outer folded edges is provided with a first drainage hole and a second drainage hole. This application adopts... The double-door design effectively addresses the width requirements of server racks for different applications, improving economy and adaptability. It also solves the problems of inconvenient maintenance and poor waterproofing, avoiding safety hazards. The overall structure is simple, easy to install, implement, and maintain, offering high practicality and reliability. The use of sealing rainproof strips, outward-folding edges, four support plates, and a drainage area effectively prevents rainwater from seeping in through the door gaps. Furthermore, the door opening design, with both doors opening outwards, prevents water droplets from being brought into the equipment during opening. The sealing rainproof strips are O-rings; when the doors are closed, the strips compress to ensure a tight seal and prevent water ingress.
[0021] 2. The drainage channel and drain holes at the bottom of the door in this application effectively collect and drain rainwater entering the bottom of the cabinet, guiding the collected water to the outside of the equipment to prevent water seepage and ensure internal dryness. Combined with waterproof sealing strips, this creates a strong seal when the door is closed, preventing rainwater from seeping through gaps between the door and the cabinet, significantly improving the cabinet's waterproof and moisture-proof performance. This design not only extends the cabinet's lifespan but also prevents rainwater from damaging internal electrical components, ensuring normal equipment operation, reducing maintenance frequency, lowering the failure rate, and improving the stability and reliability of equipment operation.
[0022] 3. The upper and lower parts of the door edge of this application are provided with concave structures corresponding to the closed positions of the left and right door bodies. This concave design allows the door body to naturally form a concave surface when closed, preventing water from flowing into the equipment.
[0023] 4. The door frame and door body of this application are made of waterproof materials to enhance the water resistance of the overall structure. Attached Figure Description

[0050] One embodiment of this application provides a cabinet with a waterproof structure, such as... Figures 1-13As shown, it includes: a cabinet 1, a door frame 2 on the front of the cabinet 1, and a left door 3 and a right door 4 connected to the door frame 2. A door edge 21 is provided along the inner perimeter of the door frame 2, and a sealing and rainproof strip 5 is provided on the outer perimeter of the door edge 21. A guide groove 501 is provided around the outer perimeter of the sealing and rainproof strip 5 (see...). Figure 12 );
[0051] The inner surfaces of the left door body 3 and the right door body 4, corresponding to the side facing the door edge 21, are respectively provided with a first outer folded edge 6 and a second outer folded edge 7 around the perimeter.

The third fold plate 701 is perpendicularly connected to the right door body 4, and the fourth fold plate 702 is perpendicular to the third fold plate 701. The fourth fold plate 702 near the left side of the right door body 4 faces the outside of the left door body 3, and the fourth fold plates 702 near the right, upper, and lower sides of the right door body 4 all face the inside of the left door body 3. One side of the second upper support plate 12 and the second lower support plate 13 is connected to the right door body 4, and the other side is fixedly connected to the junction of the third fold plate 701 and the fourth fold plate 702.
[0058] The way the outer edges of the two doors fit together is as follows: Figure 12 As shown.
[0059] Preferably, the left and right sides of the cabinet 1 are provided with side doors for easy maintenance and disassembly.
[0060] Preferably, the left door body 3 and the right door body 4 are connected to the door frame 2 via hinges or latches.
