Detailed Implementation
[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated in this description is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the parts or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a louver installation structure, including a housing 10 and an installation component 30. The housing 10 has a window 11 for installing louvers 20, and a window frame 12 is provided around the window 11. The louver 20 includes a louver body 21 and a mounting plate 22. The louver body 21 is fixed to the mounting plate 22, which is located inside the housing 10. The installation component 30 is disposed inside the window frame 12 and on the mounting plate 22. The installation component 30 can cooperate with the window frame 12 and the mounting plate 22 to detachably install the mounting plate 22 onto the window frame 12. By placing the installation component 30 inside the housing 10, this utility model can prevent the installation component 30 from rusting and being damaged, thereby avoiding water leakage in the housing 10, and also improving the aesthetics of the housing 10.
[0028] Please see Figure 5 The window frame 12 has a U-shaped structure with the opening facing the louver body 21. The mounting component 30 includes a bolt 31, a nut 32, an elastic washer 33, and a flat washer 34. The nut 32 is fixed inside the window frame 12, i.e., inside the U-shaped structure. The inner side of the window frame 12 is provided with a first mounting hole at the position corresponding to the nut 32. The mounting plate 22 is provided with a second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole. The elastic washer 33 and the flat washer 34 are arranged on the mounting plate 22 from the inside to the outside. The bolt 31 passes through the elastic washer 33, the flat washer 34, the second mounting hole, and the first mounting hole from the inside to the outside and is installed in conjunction with the nut 32. The use of elastic washers 33 and flat washers 34 increases the flatness between the mounting plate 22 and the bolts 31, preventing gaps and water leakage from the housing 10. Furthermore, by placing the mounting assembly 30 on the inner side of the window frame 12, compared to the prior art where self-tapping screws are exposed on the outer side of the housing 10, this invention prevents the mounting assembly 30 from rusting and being damaged, and improves the overall aesthetics of the housing 10. In addition, the use of bolts 31 and nuts 32, compared to the use of self-tapping screws in the prior art, allows for quick assembly and disassembly between the louver 20 and the housing 10, facilitating later maintenance and replacement, and saving installation time. It should be noted that bolts 31 can be M5*12 hexagonal bolts, and nuts 32 can be M5 blind hole nuts. The number of bolts 31 and nuts 32 is not limited and can be set according to the size of the louver 20 and installation requirements.
[0029] Please refer to 6-9 together. In order to further prevent water leakage in the box 10, this utility model also provides a waterproof structure and a drainage structure. The waterproof structure can prevent rainwater from entering the box 10, and the drainage structure can discharge rainwater to the outside of the box 10 in the event that the waterproof structure fails.
[0030] Please refer to it again. Figure 6The waterproof structure includes waterproof foam 41. Since the window frame 12 has a U-shaped structure with its opening facing the louver body 21, there is a gap between the inside of the window frame 12 and the louver body 11. Additionally, the window frame 12 is rigidly installed with the mounting plate 22, resulting in a gap between them as well. To prevent leakage from these gaps, this invention provides waterproof foam 41 inside the window frame 12 and between the window frame 12 and the mounting plate 22. The waterproof foam 41 absorbs water, preventing rainwater from entering the interior of the housing 10.
[0031] Furthermore, the waterproof structure also includes a blind curtain 42. The blind curtain 42 is located on the outer side of the top of the window frame 12, and the bottom of the blind curtain 42 is lower than the top of the louver body 10. In this way, rainwater can flow down the blind curtain 42 and will not enter the interior of the box 10.
[0032] Please refer to the following: Figure 7-9 Since the external structures of the housing 10 are not entirely the same, the structures around the louvers 20 are also different. For example, the outer surface of the housing 10 includes an uneven corrugated plate 13 and a flat plate 14. Therefore, this utility model provides two drainage structures 50 according to the different structures around the louvers 20.
[0033] Please see Figure 7 In Embodiment 1, the surrounding structure of the louver 20 is a corrugated plate 13 with uneven surface. The drainage structure in this embodiment includes multiple drainage holes 51, which are located at the bottom of the window frame 12. The positions of the drainage holes 51 correspond to the recessed areas 131 on the corrugated plate 13. Since the recessed areas 131 extend from top to bottom, when rainwater enters the louver 10, it flows down the louver 10 to the bottom of the window frame 12 and is discharged through the drainage holes 51 at the bottom of the window frame 12. After being discharged, it flows down the recessed areas 131 on the corrugated plate 13 to the ground.
[0034] Please see Figure 8-9 In Embodiment 2, the surrounding structure of the louver 20 is a flat plate 14. The drainage structure in this embodiment includes a diversion plate 52 and a water outlet 53. The diversion plate 52 is located at the bottom of the window frame 12, and the two ends of the diversion plate 52 are at different heights. Therefore, the diversion plate 52 is inclined as a whole. The water outlet 53 is set at the lower end. When rainwater enters the louver 10, the rainwater flows down the louver 10 to the bottom of the window frame 12, and is concentrated at the lower end by the diversion plate 52, and is discharged to the ground through the water outlet 53.
[0035] As described above, the louver installation structure provided by this utility model, by placing the installation component 30 inside the housing 10, can prevent the installation component 30 from rusting and being damaged, thereby avoiding water leakage in the housing 10 and improving the aesthetics of the housing 10. Furthermore, the use of bolts 31 and nuts 32, compared to the use of self-tapping screws in the prior art, allows for quick assembly and disassembly between the louver 20 and the housing 10, facilitating later maintenance and replacement and saving installation time. In addition, this utility model also incorporates a waterproof and drainage structure. Compared to the sealing with adhesive in the prior art, the waterproof and drainage design of the structure improves the waterproof performance of the housing 10 and extends its service life.
[0036] This utility model also provides a battery swapping station, including a housing 10 and louvers 20. The louvers 20 are mounted on the housing 10 by the louver mounting structure described above. For other technical features of this battery swapping station, please refer to the prior art, which will not be repeated here.
