[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] A waterproof and dustproof ventilation cabinet for railway signaling equipment, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes a cabinet 1, and the side of the cabinet 1 has a heat dissipation vent;
[0028] Separation window 2 is set on the outer wall of the heat dissipation vent on the side of the cabinet 1. Separation window 2 includes window frame 201. Several separation strips 202 are installed in a straight, equidistant array on the inner wall of window frame 201.
[0029] The separation strip 202 has a wavy cross-section. The extension line of the air passage formed by the connection between two separation strips 202 and the air inlet and outlet of the air passage is perpendicular to the heat dissipation vent on the side of the cabinet 1. That is, a wavy and tortuous air passage is formed along the direction perpendicular to the side of the cabinet 1 and pointing to the heat dissipation vent. Each pair of adjacent separation strips 202 forms an independent curved air passage. The center line of the air inlet and outlet of the air passage is perpendicular to the heat dissipation vent on the side of the cabinet 1, which facilitates the external airflow to pass through and enter the heat dissipation vent.
[0030] The cleaning component 3 includes a piston strip 301, whose shape is adapted to form an air passage between two separating strips 202 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the air passage. It can be driven by the first displacement drive component 304 to rise and fall in a direction perpendicular to the ground. This application sets the separating strips 202 and designs the cross-section of the separating strips 202 to be wavy. Several separating strips 202 are arranged in parallel. When external dust-laden and humid air enters from the tortuous air passage, it continuously impacts the bends of the wavy separating strips 202, causing the dust-laden and humid air to continuously change direction as it passes through. Most of the water vapor and dust impact the surface of the separating strips 202, physically blocking water vapor and dust and condensing water vapor. When it is necessary to clean the air passage, the separator 5 is first raised to block the front and rear openings of the separating window 2, and then the piston strip 301 is raised and lowered to clean the air passage. This facilitates cleaning and prevents a large amount of dust from escaping, solving the problems of poor moisture-proof performance and poor cleaning function of the heat dissipation area of the existing railway signal equipment waterproof and dustproof ventilation cabinet.
[0031] Specifically, the separation window 2 is fixed to the outer wall of the cabinet 1 by bolts, nuts and washers. The piston strip 301 is shaped to fit between the two separation strips 202 to form an air passage and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the air passage. It can be driven by the first displacement drive 304 to move up and down in a direction perpendicular to the ground, thereby scraping the two separation strips 202 up and down.
[0032] Preferably, a slide rod 302 is fixed to the top of the piston strip 301, and a top plate 303 is mounted on the top of the slide rod 302. The top plate 303 can be driven by the first displacement drive member 304, thereby driving the slide rod 302 and the piston strip 301 to move. Under the drive of the first displacement drive member 304, the piston strip 301 reciprocates up and down in the air passage in a direction perpendicular to the ground, so that the cleaning member 3 can scrape and clean the dust attached to the separating strip 202. The first displacement drive member 304 can be a linear electric cylinder, an electric push rod, or a lead screw assembly driven by an electric motor.
[0033] Preferably, a separator 5 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the separation window 2. The separator 5 includes a first sealing plate 501 and a second sealing plate 503 slidably connected to the openings on the front and rear sides of the window frame 201, respectively. The bottom of the first sealing plate 501 is connected to a bottom plate 502 and the second sealing plate 503 is connected through the bottom plate 502.
[0034] Preferably, the bottom of the second sealing plate 503 is connected to the bottom plate 502, and the bottom of the bottom plate 502 is equipped with a second displacement drive 504 and can be driven by the second displacement drive 504. The second displacement drive 504 drives the bottom plate 502, the first sealing plate 501 and the second sealing plate 503 to move together.
[0035] Specifically, a groove is provided on the corresponding location of the outer wall of the separation window 2, and sliding strips are provided on the sides of the first sealing plate 501 and the second sealing plate 503, which are inserted into the grooves. The bottom of the second displacement drive component 504 is installed on the outer wall of the cabinet 1, and can be a linear electric cylinder, an electric push rod, or a lead screw assembly driven by an electric motor. After the second displacement drive component 504 drives the separator 5 to rise, the first sealing plate 501 and the second sealing plate 503 can respectively seal the openings at both ends of the separation window 2, so as to block and cover the dust for cleaning.
[0036] Preferably, a filter screen is installed on the inner wall of the heat dissipation vent, and the outer wall of the filter screen can be matched with the piston strip 301, that is, the end of the piston strip 301 near the filter screen abuts against the filter screen, and the shape is adapted to the shape of the filter screen, so that the piston strip 301 can scrape off the dust on the filter screen when it moves.
[0037] Preferably, a side groove 203 is provided at the bottom of the window frame 201, and a dust collection tray 4 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the side groove 203 for collecting dust scraped off by the piston strip 301.
[0038] The working principle of the device in this application is as follows:
[0039] When the equipment inside the cabinet 1 generates heat and needs to dissipate heat, there is a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cabinet. External air enters the curved air passage formed by the wave-shaped separation strip 202 from the air inlet of the separation window 2.
[0040] When dusty and humid air passes through these wave-shaped air ducts, its flow direction is forced to change continuously and drastically. Since the mass and inertia of dust particles and water droplets are much greater than those of air molecules, they continuously collide with and adhere to the arc-shaped wall of the separation bar 202, achieving passive separation of gas and solid, and gas and liquid. This removes most of the dust and water vapor. The separated air then passes through the end of the air duct and is further filtered by the filter screen inside the heat dissipation vent of the cabinet 1 before entering the cabinet.
[0041] The large surface area of the separation strip 202 is conducive to the condensation of water vapor in the air. The separation strip 202 is preferably made of metal. After the precipitated liquid water gathers on the surface of the separation strip 202, it flows down the wall under the action of gravity to the bottom of the window frame 201 and finally drips into the dust collection tray 4 at the bottom.
[0042] When the ventilation resistance increases or the predetermined cleaning cycle is reached, external power is supplied, and the first displacement drive component 304 and the second displacement drive component 504 are turned on through an external switch.
[0043] First, the second displacement drive 504 is activated, pushing the separator 5 upward until the first sealing plate 501 and the second sealing plate 503 seal the front and rear openings of the separation window 2, forming a relatively closed cleaning chamber.
[0044] Then, the first displacement drive 304 is activated, driving the piston strip 301 of the cleaning component 3 to move horizontally from top to bottom in the air passage, pushing the sludge down, so that the sludge falls into the sludge collection tray 4 under its own gravity. The edge of the piston strip 301 fits against the wavy surface of the separating strip 202, like a piston, scraping the sludge attached to the wall surface, greatly reducing the secondary pollution caused by dust escaping into the cabinet 1 or being blown outward during cleaning.
[0045] After the cleaning process is completed, the external power supply activates the second displacement drive component 504 via an external switch, driving the separator 5 to descend and restoring the unobstructed flow of the front and rear openings of the separation window 2. Maintenance personnel can periodically remove the dust collection tray 4 to clean up accumulated dust and condensate, making maintenance very convenient.
[0046] It should be noted that all parts of this invention that require connection to an external power source have an interface on the corresponding component. When power is required, the interface is connected to the portable power source.
[0047] The first displacement drive 304 and the second displacement drive 504 adopt existing products. Preferably, they can be linear electric cylinders, electric push rods or lead screw assemblies driven by electric motors (both the first displacement drive 304 and the second displacement drive 504 adopt existing products and are connected to external switches and external power sources).
[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
