[0032] For the purpose of promoting an understanding of the present application, the present application will be described in greater detail below with reference to the drawings. The embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. However, the present application can be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and fully convey the scope of the application to those skilled in the art.
[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
[0034] It will be understood that the spatially relative terms "beneath", "below", "lower", "under", "above", "upper" and the like, can be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" or "over" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device can be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
[0035] It is noted that when an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or connected to the other element through intervening elements. "Connected" in the following embodiments, if the connected circuit, module, unit, etc. have the transmission of electrical signal or data between each other, should be understood as "electrically connected", "communicatively connected" and the like.
[0036] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises", "comprising", "includes" and / or "including", or the like, when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.
[0037] As shown in the drawings, an outdoor battery replacement cabinet for preventing equipment from overheating includes a cabinet body 1 and a main heat dissipation component 2 connected to the cabinet body 1. The main heat dissipation component 2 includes a cabinet top seat 21 connected to the top of the cabinet body 1 and a cold air component 22 connected below the cabinet top seat 21. An air extractor 23 is connected to the cabinet top seat 21 and is used to suck air from the cold air component 22 to cool the cabinet body 1. Figures 1 to 6
[0038] In this embodiment, the main heat dissipation component 2 is the key part of the heat dissipation device. It is connected to the cabinet body 1 to dissipate the heat generated inside the cabinet body 1 and maintain the appropriate temperature inside the cabinet. The main heat dissipation component 2 specifically includes the cabinet top seat 21 connected to the air extractor 23 and the cold air component 22. The air extractor 23 is used to extract air above the cabinet body 1 to dissipate heat from the cabinet body 1. The cold air component 22 is arranged below the cabinet body 1 and can cool the area below the cabinet body 1. The air extractor 23 can extract the gas at the cold air component 22 upwards to enhance the cooling effect of the cabinet body 1, increase the heat dissipation area, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The air extractor 23 plays a role in guiding the flow of air, making the cooling gas more effectively carry away the heat of the cabinet body 1.
[0039] In some embodiments, the cabinet top seat 21 is in the shape of an inverted funnel, and the cabinet top seat 21 is provided with a ventilation hole 211. The air inlet of the air extractor 23 is connected to the ventilation hole 211.
[0040] In this embodiment, the shape of the inverted funnel helps to guide the flow of air. Because the top of the funnel is wider, it can capture a larger range of air and direct it to the smaller opening at the bottom of the funnel. In this case, the smaller opening at the bottom of the funnel corresponds to the ventilation hole 211, effectively guiding the air to the air inlet of the air extractor 23. According to the principle of fluid mechanics, when air passes through a gradually narrowing space, its flow rate increases. This means that when air passes through the cabinet top seat 21, its flow rate increases, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. The design of the inverted funnel helps to reduce the vortex and dead angle inside the cabinet top seat 21, which can reduce the heat dissipation efficiency. By ensuring smooth air flow through the cabinet top seat 21, heat can be more effectively carried away from the inside of the cabinet.
[0041] In some embodiments, the main heat dissipation component 2 comprises a heat insulation component 24, which comprises mounting seats 241 connected to the four corners of the cabinet top base 21, and a roller 242 rotatably connected to two adjacent mounting seats 241, and a heat insulation curtain 243 connected to the roller 242, which is used to drop down when there is sunlight outside to insulate the cabinet body 1.
[0042] In this embodiment, the mounting seats 241 are connected to the four corners of the cabinet top base 21. They provide a stable support point for mounting and fixing the roller 242. The roller 242 is rotatably connected between two adjacent mounting seats 241. They act as the spool of the heat insulation curtain 243, allowing the heat insulation curtain 243 to be deployed or rolled up when needed. The heat insulation curtain is connected to the roller 242. This heat insulation curtain 243 is made of materials with high thermal resistance, such as reflective materials or multi-layer insulation materials. When there is sunlight or other heat sources outside, the heat insulation curtain 243 can be lowered to block the heat from entering the interior of the cabinet body 1. In this way, the temperature inside the cabinet body 1 can be better controlled even in high temperature environments.
[0043] In some embodiments, the heat insulation component 24 further comprises a gear 244 connected to the roller 242, the gear 244 is engaged with a motor gear 245, the motor gear 245 is connected to a roller motor 246, the roller motor 246 is used to drive the roller 242 to rotate to wind or unwind the heat insulation curtain 243.
[0044] In this embodiment, the gear 244 is connected to the roller 242, which acts to engage with the motor gear 245 to transmit power. This engagement ensures that the roller 242 can rotate smoothly and reliably. The motor gear 245 engages with the gear 244, which acts as a medium for power transmission. When the motor gear 245 rotates, it will drive the gear 244 and the roller 242 to rotate together through the engagement relationship. The heat insulation curtain 243 is a unified winding or unwinding type. See Figure 5 and Figure 6 When the heat insulation curtain 243 is a unified winding and unwinding type, the two ends of the four rollers 242 are connected with gears, the gears of the three rollers 242 are connected to each other to form a transmission. One end of the last roller 242 is connected with a gear, which is engaged with another gear. At the same time, a motor is connected to one of the three rollers 242, and the rotation of the motor can simultaneously drive the four heat insulation curtains 243 to wind or unwind; see Figure 6 When the heat insulation curtain 243 is a separate winding and unwinding type, one end of each roller 242 is connected with a gear, and each gear is configured with a motor, thereby realizing independent control of the heat insulation curtain 243.
[0045] In some embodiments, the cold air component 22 comprises an air inlet cover 221 connected to the bottom of the cabinet 1, and an air inlet pipe 222 connected to the air inlet cover 221, and an air inlet fan 223 connected to the air inlet pipe 222, wherein the air inlet fan 223 is arranged in the basement.
[0046] In this embodiment, the air inlet cover 221 is connected to the bottom of the cabinet 1 as the inlet part of the cold air component 22. The design of the air inlet cover 221 should ensure smooth air intake while preventing debris from entering the interior of the cabinet. The air inlet pipe 222 is connected to the air inlet cover 221 to guide the cooling air from the air inlet cover 221 to the air inlet fan 223. The length, diameter, and material of the air inlet pipe 222 may need to be selected according to the actual application scenario and the required air flow. For example, in a relatively closed environment such as a basement, a longer air inlet pipe may be needed to ensure smooth air flow. The air inlet fan 223 is arranged in the basement as the power source of the cold air component 22. The function of the air inlet fan 223 is to suck in external cooling air and send it into the interior of the cabinet through the air inlet pipe 222 and the air inlet cover 221.
[0047] In some embodiments, a temperature measuring component 3 is further included, which comprises a first temperature detector 31 connected inside the cabinet 1, a second temperature sensor 32 connected to the bottom of the cabinet 1, and a third temperature sensor 33 connected to the top of the cabinet 1.
[0048] In this embodiment, the first temperature detector 31 is used to detect the temperature inside the cabinet 1, the second temperature sensor 32 is used to detect the temperature at the bottom of the cabinet 1, and the third temperature sensor 33 is used to detect the temperature at the top of the cabinet 1. When the temperature inside the cabinet 1 reaches the preset temperature, the controller controls the main heat dissipation component 2 to start. When the temperature at the bottom of the cabinet 1 reaches the preset temperature, the controller controls the cold air component 22 to start. When the temperature at the top of the cabinet 1 reaches the preset temperature, the controller controls the exhaust fan 23 to start. The controller is a well-known technical means to those skilled in the art, which will not be described here.
[0049] In some embodiments, the cabinet 1 is further connected to an auxiliary heat dissipation component 4, which comprises water-cooled heat dissipation pipes 41 connected to both sides of the cabinet 1, and a cooling water pool 44 arranged below the cabinet 1, wherein the water inlet end of the water-cooled heat dissipation pipes 41 is connected to a cooling water inlet pipe 42, the water outlet end of the water-cooled heat dissipation pipes 41 is connected to a cooling water outlet pipe 43, the cooling water inlet pipe 42 is connected to the water outlet end of the cooling water pool 44, and the cooling water outlet pipe 43 is connected to the water inlet end of the cooling water pool 44.
[0050] In the embodiment, the water-cooled heat dissipation pipes 41 are connected to the two sides of the cabinet body 1, and are used to transfer the heat inside the cabinet body 1 to the cooling water flowing through the pipes by heat conduction. The water-cooled heat dissipation pipes 41 should be designed to ensure sufficient contact with the heat source inside the cabinet body to achieve efficient heat exchange. The cooling water inlet pipe 42 is connected to the water inlet end of the water-cooled heat dissipation pipes 41, and is used to introduce the low-temperature cooling water in the cooling water pool 44 into the water-cooled heat dissipation pipes 41. The cooling water outlet pipe 43 is connected to the water outlet end of the water-cooled heat dissipation pipes 41, and is used to discharge the high-temperature cooling water after absorbing heat, and re-introduce it into the cooling water pool 44 for cooling.
[0051] In some embodiments, the auxiliary heat dissipation member 4 further comprises a water pump 45 arranged in the cooling water pool 44, and the water pump 45 is connected to the cooling water outlet pipe 43.
[0052] In the embodiment, the water pump 45 is connected to the cooling water outlet pipe 43 to provide kinetic energy for the cooling water, and at the same time, the cooling speed can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the output power of the water pump 45 to reduce energy consumption.
[0053] In some embodiments, the cabinet top seat 21 is connected with a sliding frame 212, and the protective cover 5 is slidingly connected to the sliding frame 212, and the protective cover 5 is used to shield the exhaust fan 23.
[0054] In some embodiments, a lifting cylinder 6 is further connected to the cabinet top seat 21, and the lifting cylinder 6 is connected to the protective cover 5.
[0055] In the embodiment, when the heat dissipation is completed, the lifting cylinder 6 drives the protective cover 5 to shield the exhaust fan 23 to reduce the influence of dust, rain and ultraviolet rays outside the exhaust fan 23 on the exhaust fan 23.
[0056] Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the present application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0057] The main heat dissipation member is a key part of the heat dissipation device, which is connected to the cabinet body and is used to dissipate the heat generated inside the cabinet body to maintain the appropriate temperature inside the cabinet body. The main heat dissipation member specifically includes an exhaust fan connected to the cabinet top seat and a cold air member. Among them, the exhaust fan is used to exhaust air above the cabinet body to dissipate heat of the cabinet body. The cold air member is arranged below the cabinet body, and the cooling effect of the cabinet body can be enhanced by extracting the gas at the cold air member upward, so as to increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The exhaust fan plays a role in guiding air flow, so that the cooling gas can more effectively take away the heat of the cabinet body. The problem that the existing equipment is often in a heating state, and the long-time heating of the equipment easily affects the service life of the battery and even causes a fire of the battery replacement cabinet is solved.
