[0002] Generator sets generally consist of a chassis, engine, and generator. Conventional generator sets are placed on the ground using an open frame. To protect the generator set and provide some sound insulation, current technology places it in a closed enclosure for noise reduction, thus providing basic protection. However, existing enclosures typically have a maintenance door on one side for access and maintenance. Due to limited space within the enclosure, accessing the generator set through only one door results in a cramped environment, restricted visibility, and difficult operation, leading to maintenance difficulties. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a generator set enclosure that facilitates maintenance and repair, addressing the problems of limited space, restricted visibility, and difficult operation during generator set maintenance.

[0026] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A generator set enclosure for easy inspection and maintenance, comprising:

[0028] Box 1, with an opening 11 on the side;

[0029] The base 2 is equipped with a generator set 22, which includes an engine 21 and a generator 22. The lower part of the base 2 is equipped with a rack 23, the length of which matches the length of the base 2.

[0030] Support plate 3 is connected to the bottom of box 1. Support plate 3 is located below base 2. The middle of support plate 3 is provided with clearance groove 31 for the rack 23 to pass through. Rollers 32 are provided on both sides of clearance groove 31. Rollers 32 are in contact with the lower part of base 2. Limiting groove 311 is provided near opening 11 of clearance groove 31.

[0031] Gear 3112 is rotatably connected to limiting groove 311. The side wall of limiting groove 311 is provided with drive motor 3111. Drive motor 3111 is connected to gear 3112 for transmission. Gear 3112 meshes with rack 23.

[0032] In the above embodiments, when it is necessary to inspect and maintain the generator 22 set inside the housing 1, the drive motor 3111 is turned on, and the gear 3112 and the rack 23 mesh and drive, so that the base 2 can slowly slide out along the side opening 11. By using the rollers 32 of the support plate 3, the base 2 can slide out stably until the entire engine 21 and generator 22 are moved out of the housing 1. Then the staff can inspect and maintain the generator 22 set on the base 2. Compared with the prior art, sliding the base 2 out of the housing 1 solves the problems of small maintenance space, limited vision and difficult operation.

[0033] As an optional implementation, a heat dissipation plate 4 matching the opening 11 is provided on one side of the base 2. The heat dissipation plate 4 is provided with heat dissipation holes 41. A limiting opening 12 is provided on the top of the housing 1. A cooling fan 511 is connected to the limiting opening 12 through a hinge device 5.

[0034] In the above embodiments, the drive motor 3111 drives the gear 3112 and the rack 23, so that the base 2 slides along the opening 11 toward the housing 1. The lower part of the base 2 can smoothly slide into the housing 1 through the roller 32. When the heat dissipation plate 4 and the opening 11 are sealed, the drive motor 3111 stops rotating, so that the generator 22 is located in the housing 1 and is protected. When working, the generator 22 is supported by the support block, and the cooling fan 511 and the heat dissipation hole 41 are used to dissipate heat from the generator 22.

[0035] As an optional implementation, the hinge device 5 includes a connecting plate 51, a first hinge seat 52, a second hinge seat 53, a first connecting rod 54, a second connecting rod 55, a third connecting rod 56, and a fourth connecting rod 57. The connecting plate 51 matches the limiting port 12. The cooling fan 511 is connected to the connecting plate 51. The first hinge seat 52 is connected to the connecting plate 51 and is located on the X-direction side of the cooling fan 511. The second hinge seat 53 is connected to the top of the housing 1 and is located on the X-direction side of the first hinge seat 52. The first hinge seat 52 has a first rotating shaft 521 and a second rotating shaft 522 arranged sequentially along the X-direction. The second hinge seat 53 has a third rotating shaft 531 and a fourth rotating shaft 532 arranged along the X-direction side. The axes of shaft 521, second rotating shaft 522, third rotating shaft 531 and fourth rotating shaft 532 are all in the Y direction. One end of each of the two first connecting rods 54 is pivotally connected to both ends of the first rotating shaft 521. A fifth rotating shaft 551 is provided between the other ends of the two first connecting rods 54. One end of the second connecting rod 55 is pivotally connected to the fifth rotating shaft 551. The other end of the second connecting rod 55 is pivotally connected to the third rotating shaft 531. One end of each of the two third connecting rods 56 is pivotally connected to the second rotating shaft 522. A sixth rotating shaft 561 is provided at the other end of the two third connecting rods 56. One end of the fourth connecting rod 57 is pivotally connected to the sixth rotating shaft 561. The other end of the fourth connecting rod 57 is pivotally connected to the fourth rotating shaft 532. The second connecting rod 55 is located on the seventh rotating shaft 552 near the fifth rotating shaft 551.

[0036] In the above embodiments, by setting the first hinge seat 52, the second hinge seat 53, the first connecting rod 54, the second connecting rod 55, the third connecting rod 56, the fourth connecting rod 57 and the seventh rotating shaft 552, the connecting plate 51 can be rotated 90°, thereby allowing the cooling fan 511 to be flipped over and the blades of the cooling fan 511 to be directly cleaned or replaced by a high-pressure air gun.

[0037] As an optional implementation, a fastening device 6 is provided on the top of the housing 1 near the opening 11. The fastening device 6 includes an L-shaped plate 61, a cylinder 62, and a limiting block 63. The top of the opening 11 is provided with a notch 111 that matches the shape of the heat dissipation plate 4. The L-shaped plate 61 is connected to the top of the housing 1, the cylinder 62 is connected to the L-shaped plate 61, the cylinder body axis of the cylinder 62 is vertical, the limiting block 63 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 62, and the top of the heat dissipation plate 4 is provided with a groove 42 that matches the limiting block 63.

[0038] In the above embodiments, when the generator 22 set of the base 2 enters the housing 1, the heat dissipation plate 4 fits with the notch 111 of the opening 11, and the groove 42 aligns with the limiting block 63 to seal the opening 11. At this time, the cylinder 62 drives the limiting block 63 to insert into the groove 42, thereby fixing the heat dissipation plate 4 and ensuring that the base 2 does not slide.

[0039] As an optional implementation, the inner walls of the housing 1 are provided with sliding grooves 13 that are slidably connected to the two sides of the base 2.

[0040] In the above embodiments, the sliding of the base 2 can be further stabilized, and the stability of the base 2 within the housing 1 can be enhanced.

[0041] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
