Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0030] The utility model embodiment provides a kind of outdoor control box, referring to Figs. 1-3 , Fig. 1 It is the structural diagram of outdoor control box, the outdoor control box includes: box 1, installation back plate 2 and heat conducting piece 3;

[0031] The front of box 1 is equipped with openable and closable door plate 11;

[0032] Installation back plate 2 is arranged in box 1, for fixing device;

[0033] Heat conducting piece 3 is arranged between installation back plate 2 and box 1, for the heat of installation back plate 2 is transmitted to box 1;

[0034] Box 1 is equipped with heat dissipation structure 4 outside.

[0035] It needs to be explained that, by being equipped with openable and closable door plate 11 in the front of box 1, not only facilitate device installation, but also after the closure of door plate 11, the sealing of control box whole can be guaranteed, to guarantee that the waterproof level of control box is not less than IP65.

[0036] It also needs to be explained that, since device needs to be fixed by bolt 5 on installation back plate 2, installation back plate 2 needs to be kept a certain distance from box 1, to guarantee that the heat of installation back plate 2 can be quickly transmitted to box 1, therefore, the present application is by being arranged between installation back plate 2 and box 1 heat conducting piece 3, the heat of installation back plate 2 is transmitted to box 1 by heat conducting piece 3, and is cooled by the heat dissipation structure 4 of box 1, finally realizes that the inside of box 1 is cooled.

[0037] This utility model embodiment features an openable door panel 11 on the front of the housing 1, a mounting back plate 2 for fixing components inside the housing 1, a heat-conducting element 3 between the mounting back plate 2 and the housing 1 for transferring heat from the mounting back plate 2 to the housing 1 for heat dissipation, and a heat dissipation structure 4 on the outside of the housing 1. With this disclosed outdoor control box, the heat-conducting element 3 can transfer heat from the mounting back plate 2 to the housing 1, and the housing 1 dissipates heat through the heat dissipation structure 4. Therefore, the temperature of the components on the mounting back plate 2 can be effectively reduced, ensuring the normal operation of the components inside the housing 1. Compared with existing open-pore heat dissipation methods, this application not only ensures the waterproof performance of the control box but also effectively ensures heat dissipation, thereby preventing damage to internal components due to excessive temperature inside the housing 1.

[0038] Specifically, the mounting backplate 2 is installed on the rear backplate 12 of the housing 1;

[0039] The back panel 12 has a heat dissipation structure 4 on its exterior.

[0040] It should be noted that the mounting back panel 2 can be installed on the rear back panel 12 of the housing 1, or on the side panels of the housing 1. Those skilled in the art can choose according to their needs.

[0041] Furthermore, the mounting back plate 2 is installed on the rear back plate 12 of the housing 1 by bolts 5.

[0042] It should be noted that the mounting back plate 2 can be installed on the rear back plate 12 of the enclosure 1 by bolts 5, or it can be installed on the rear back plate 12 of the enclosure 1 by other means (such as snap-fit, riveting, etc.). Those skilled in the art can choose according to their needs.

[0043] Specifically, thermal conductive component 3 is thermal grease;

[0044] Multiple crossbars 6 are provided on the side of the mounting backplate 2 that contacts the heat-conducting component 3.

[0045] It should be noted that thermal grease, commonly known as heat dissipation paste, is a thermally conductive silicone grease compound made primarily of silicone with added heat-resistant and thermally conductive materials. It is used for heat conduction and dissipation of electronic components such as power amplifiers, transistors, electron tubes, and CPUs, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical performance of electronic instruments and meters.

[0046] It should also be noted that since the thermal grease is in paste or fluid form, multiple horizontal bars 6 are required on the side of the mounting back plate 2 that contacts the heat-conducting component 3. This effectively prevents the thermal grease from flowing to the bottom of the mounting back plate 2 under gravity, ensuring that the heat from the mounting back plate 2 can be evenly transferred to the back plate 12 through the contact area between the thermal grease and the back plate 12. This ensures uniform heat dissipation at every point on the mounting back plate 2 and effectively guarantees the overall temperature uniformity inside the enclosure 1.

[0047] Furthermore, the rear panel 12 is provided with multiple heat dissipation fins to form a heat dissipation structure 4, wherein the heat dissipation fins are made of metal.

[0048] It should be noted that the back panel 12 can be configured with multiple heat dissipation fins to form a heat dissipation structure 4, or it can be configured with a cooling fan 7 for heat dissipation. Those skilled in the art can choose according to their needs.

[0049] In this application, the heat dissipation structure 4 is configured as a heat dissipation fin plate, which can increase the contact area with the external gas, thereby enabling rapid heat dissipation and cooling.

[0050] It should also be noted that using metal to make the heat dissipation fins can improve heat transfer efficiency, thereby enabling rapid heat dissipation and quickly reducing the temperature inside the enclosure.

[0051] Furthermore, the heat dissipation fins are welded to the rear backplate 12.

[0052] It should be noted that the heat dissipation fins are welded to the back panel 12, or they can be connected and fixed by other means (such as snap-fit, bolt 5 connection, riveting, etc.). Those skilled in the art can choose according to their needs.

[0053] Specifically, the upper end of the mounting back plate 2 is bent toward the front of the housing 1 to form a bent section.

[0054] It should be noted that bending the upper end of the mounting back plate 2 toward the front of the housing 1 can further increase the contact area between the mounting back plate 2 and the air inside the housing 1, so that the heat in the air can be transferred to the mounting back plate 2, and then transferred to the heat dissipation structure 4 of the housing 1 through the heat conduction component 3 for heat dissipation.

[0055] Furthermore, the lower end of the mounting back plate 2 is bent toward the front of the housing 1.

[0056] It should be noted that bending the lower end of the mounting back plate 2 toward the front of the housing 1 can further increase the contact area between the mounting back plate 2 and the air inside the housing 1, so that the heat in the air can be transferred to the mounting back plate 2, and then transferred to the heat dissipation structure 4 of the housing 1 through the heat conduction component 3 for heat dissipation.

[0057] Specifically, the casing 1 is made of metal.

[0058] It should be noted that the enclosure 1 can be made of metal (such as aluminum, iron, copper, stainless steel, etc.) or non-metallic materials with good thermal conductivity. Those skilled in the art can choose according to their needs.

[0059] Furthermore, the outdoor control box also includes: fan 7;

[0060] Fan 7 is installed inside housing 1 and is used to deliver hot air to the bend.

[0061] It should be noted that by placing the fan 7 inside the enclosure 1 and delivering hot air to the bend, the contact efficiency between the air inside the enclosure 1 and the mounting backplate 2 can be accelerated. This allows the air inside the enclosure 1 to quickly transfer heat to the mounting backplate 2, and then transfer it to the heat dissipation structure 4 outside the enclosure 1 through the heat-conducting component 3 for heat dissipation. This can effectively achieve rapid cooling of the air inside the enclosure 1, thereby ensuring the service life of the components inside the enclosure 1.

[0062] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
