Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic module technology, specifically to an electrically controlled waterproof structure for a hydraulic module. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic modules are an indispensable component of modern HVAC systems. Their main function is to control, regulate, and distribute water to ensure efficient and stable system operation. In current technical practices, hydraulic modules typically include an electrical control box, which is responsible for receiving and sending signals to control the operating status of components such as pumps and valves. For ease of wiring during production and subsequent maintenance, the electrical control box is generally installed inside the hydraulic module's enclosure.
[0003] Besides the electrical control box, the enclosure also houses a hydrothermal system composed of water pipes, a water pump, a flow meter, a calorimeter, and an electric heater. The layout of these components directly impacts the overall performance of the hydraulic module. However, existing hydraulic modules have flaws in their internal layout. Particularly concerning is the water pipe layout; if a leak occurs, water can easily enter the electrical control box through cable openings. This can severely damage the components inside the control box, shortening its lifespan and significantly increasing the risk of electrical leakage, thus drastically reducing the equipment's safety. Utility Model Content

[0020] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, a detailed description of the invention is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The present invention includes a hydraulic module housing and an electrical control box disposed on the hydraulic module housing. The electrical control box divides the interior of the hydraulic module housing into an electrical component space and a water supply pipe space. The bottom of the electrical control box is bent to form a first wiring space connected to the electrical component space and a second wiring space connected to the water supply pipe space. A through-hole is provided at the bent portion of the bottom of the electrical control box to connect the first wiring space and the second wiring space. After the upper and lower sealing plates are respectively fastened to the first and second wiring spaces, water leakage in the water supply pipe space is effectively prevented from splashing into the electrical component space area, thus improving the waterproof effect of the electrical control box.
[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Various changes can be made to the implementation scheme as long as the effects of the present invention can be achieved.
[0022] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment proposes an electrically controlled waterproof structure for a hydraulic module, including a hydraulic module housing 1. The hydraulic module housing 1 is the main body of the hydraulic module and can be square or cylindrical. For example, in this embodiment, the hydraulic module housing 1 is a square structure.
[0024] In this waterproofing implementation, an opening is made in the wall of the hydraulic module housing 1, and an electrical control box 2 is installed at the opening. The opening is located at the upper middle position of the side wall, which is prior art and will not be described in detail again.
[0025] Furthermore, an outer transparent waterproof cover 5 is provided on the outside of the electrical control box 2 to prevent external dust and water from entering, thereby increasing the protection effect on the electrical components inside the electrical control box 2.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, after the electrical control box 2 is installed inside the hydraulic module housing 1, the interior of the hydraulic module housing 1 is divided into an electrical component space 3 for installing electrical control components and a water supply pipe space 4 for placing pipes, pumps, valve assemblies, and other components. The bottom of the electrical control box 2 is bent to form a first wiring space connected to the electrical component space 3 and a second wiring space connected to the water supply pipe space 4.
[0027] The bottom bend of the electrical control box 2 is a bent bottom partition component, including an upper partition 6 and a lower partition 8 with a horizontal height difference, and a vertical partition 7 connecting the upper partition 6 and the lower partition 8. Preferably, the upper partition 6, the vertical partition 7, and the lower partition 8 are continuous bends of the bottom plate of the electrical control box 2, wherein the horizontal position of the upper partition 6 is higher than that of the lower partition 8, and the upper partition 6 is integrally formed on the side wall panel of the electrical control box 2, while the lower partition 8 is fixed to the wall of the hydraulic module box 1 with bolts.
[0028] Furthermore, a through-hole is provided at the bottom bend of the electrical control box 2 to connect the first and second wiring spaces. The through-hole is located on the vertical partition 7, and a sealing element 13 is provided at the through-hole. Since the vertical partition 7 is vertically installed, the sealing element 13 is in a horizontal position after installation. Therefore, during wiring, the cables of the various actuators inside the water supply pipe space 4 pass horizontally through the first and second wiring spaces. The aforementioned sealing element 13 is a sealing sleeve.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, an upper sealing plate 9 covers the first wiring space, enclosing it to form an internal water seepage buffer cavity 14. A lower sealing plate 10 covers the second wiring space, enclosing it to form an external water seepage buffer cavity 12. During wiring, the upper sealing plate 9 and the lower sealing plate 10 are in the open state. The cables of each actuator pass through the second wiring space and the first wiring space in sequence and are pre-fixed in the electrical control box 2. Then, the upper sealing plate 9 and the lower sealing plate 10 are fixed to form a symmetrical internal water seepage buffer cavity 14 and an external water seepage buffer cavity 12, preventing water leakage from the water supply pipe space 4 area into the electrical control box.
[0030] Furthermore, the upper cover plate 9 has a wire-passing opening 15, and the lower cover plate 10 has a wire-passing groove 11 on its side wall. The wire-passing groove 11 is a U-shape with an open top. When installing the lower cover plate 10 after the cable has been threaded through, it is pushed upwards from bottom to top, ultimately causing the cable to be inserted into the wire-passing groove 11. The end of the cable leading into the electrical control box 2 passes through the wire-passing opening 15 on the upper cover plate 9 before the upper cover plate 9 is fixed in place.
[0031] In the main view projection, the lower cover plate 10 is "L" shaped, with both ends fixed to the side wall of the electrical control box 2 and the lower partition plate 8, respectively.
[0032] In this embodiment, it should be explained in detail that the bottom edge of the threaded groove 11 is lower than the bottom edge of the through hole, so that when the pipe breaks and water sprays out, the water that enters the external seepage buffer cavity 12 can flow out through the threaded groove 11, instead of entering the internal seepage buffer cavity 14 through the through hole.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
