Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power distribution cabinet equipment technology, specifically to a PLC power cabinet with rainproof function. Background Technology
[0002] A PLC cabinet is a device that integrates a programmable logic controller (PLC) and related electrical components, and is widely used in industrial automation. Existing PLC cabinets lack adequate rain protection, allowing rainwater to easily seep into the cabinet and damage the internal electronic components. There is an urgent need in the market for a PLC cabinet with good rain protection to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problem of poor rainproofing in existing PLC cabinets, this invention provides a PLC cabinet with rainproof functionality. The specific technical solution of this invention is as follows:
[0004] A PLC cabinet with rainproof function includes a cabinet body and a waterproof cover on the top of the cabinet body. The waterproof cover has a sloping roof structure. A first side plate and a second side plate are provided between the waterproof cover and the cabinet body. The first side plate and the second side plate are used to connect the bottom perimeter of the waterproof cover and the top perimeter of the cabinet body. The first side plate is located on the front and rear sides of the cabinet body, and the second side plate is located on the left and right sides of the cabinet body. Ventilation holes are provided on the first side plate and the second side plate. Waterproof sections are provided on both sides of the cabinet body. A cooling fan is provided in the cabinet body and the cooling fan is located at the waterproof section.
[0005] Furthermore, the ventilation holes are elongated and arranged on the first side plate.
[0006] Furthermore, the first side panel is horizontally positioned and is integrated with the waterproof cover.
[0007] Furthermore, an inverted L-shaped bend is provided at the connection between the first side panel and the cabinet.
[0008] Furthermore, the second side panel includes a horizontal panel and a vertical panel. The horizontal panel is horizontally arranged and has ventilation holes. The bottom of the vertical panel is integrally formed with the horizontal panel, and the top of the vertical panel is fitted to the bottom of the side of the waterproof cover.
[0009] Furthermore, the top of the side of the cabinet is higher than the top of the horizontal plate of the second side panel.
[0010] Furthermore, each side of the cabinet is provided with four waterproof sections, and a cooling fan is provided next to each waterproof section.
[0011] Furthermore, the inner wall of the side of the cabinet is provided with a support column, and the cooling fan is mounted on the support column.
[0012] Furthermore, LED lights are installed inside the cabinet.
[0013] Furthermore, the waterproof cover has placement slots on both sides of its bottom, and the LED lights are placed in the placement slots.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The PLC cabinet described in this application has a first side plate and a second side plate between the cabinet body and the waterproof cover. The first and second side plates effectively prevent rainwater from entering the cabinet body from between the waterproof cover and the cabinet body. Ventilation holes are provided on the first and second side plates, which, in addition to effectively preventing rainwater, also allow for heat dissipation inside the cabinet. Instead of providing air inlets for the cooling fan on the side of the cabinet, the cooling fan is directly located at the waterproof part on the side of the cabinet, which improves both the waterproof and heat dissipation effects of the cabinet.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a PLC cabinet with rainproof function includes a cabinet body 1 and a waterproof cover 2 set on the top of the cabinet body 1. The waterproof cover 2 has a sloping roof structure, that is, it is higher in the middle and lower on both sides, forming two slopes to prevent rainwater from accumulating on the top of the PLC cabinet. The overall width of the waterproof cover 2 is greater than the overall width of the cabinet body 1 to prevent rainwater from the waterproof cover 2 from flowing onto the cabinet body 1. A first side plate 3 and a second side plate 4 are provided between the waterproof cover 2 and the cabinet body 1. The first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4 are used to connect the bottom perimeter of the waterproof cover 2 and the top perimeter of the cabinet body 1. The first side plate 3 is located on the front and rear sides of the cabinet body 1, and the second side plate 4 is located on the left and right sides of the cabinet body 1. Ventilation holes 5 are provided on the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4. Waterproof parts 6 are provided on both sides of the cabinet body 1. A cooling fan 7 is provided in the cabinet body 1, and the cooling fan 7 is located at the waterproof parts 6.
