Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical cabinets, and in particular to an automatic temperature control cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] An electrical cabinet (also known as an electrical control cabinet or distribution cabinet) is a specialized enclosure used for the centralized installation, protection, and control of electrical equipment. It is widely used in industries, buildings, and power systems. The main purpose of an electrical cabinet is to provide electrical equipment (electrical components or computer servers) with indicated operating conditions, isolating these components from the external environment and maintaining their normal operation.

[0003] To maintain a stable environment inside the electrical cabinet, the current structure of the electrical cabinet, in addition to the outer shell, is equipped with an exhaust vent, a return fan, and related heating components (the heating components are generally resistance wires). When cooling is required, the heating components do not work, only the return fan works to dissipate the heat generated by the electrical components; when the cabinet needs to be heated, the heating components work, generating heat and working with the return fan to distribute the heat to the inside of the cabinet, ensuring a constant temperature inside the electrical cabinet.

[0004] However, the airflow generated solely by the return fan, which combines heating and cooling modes with both cold and hot airflow, limits the ability of the electrical components inside the cabinet to maintain a constant temperature.

[0005] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic temperature control cabinet that can adapt to changes in the required environment inside the electrical cabinet through state switching, thereby improving the constant temperature effect of the electrical components inside the cabinet and ensuring the working environment of the components.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic temperature control cabinet, including a cabinet body and at least one set of partitions disposed within the cabinet body for supporting electrical components; the partitions are provided with a plurality of through holes for airflow; a mating plate is movably disposed below the partitions, and the mating plate is also provided with the through holes; the mating plate and the partitions are connected by a guide plate; the partitions are switched between a guiding state and a blocking state by a driving structure; in the guiding state, there is a gap between the mating plate and the partitions for airflow to pass through, and the airflow passing through the gap will enter above the through holes through the guide plate; in the blocking state, the mating plate and the partitions are fitted together, and their through holes are misaligned.

[0008] According to the present invention, in the flow guiding state, the mating plate and the partition are in a parallel state.

[0010] According to the automatic temperature control cabinet of this utility model, the guide plate is a single-plate structure with unidirectional airflow, and its two ends are hinged to the mating plate and the partition plate; at the same time, the hinge shaft of the guide plate connected to the mating plate is connected to the drive motor.

[0011] According to the automatic temperature control cabinet of this utility model, the lifting structure includes a lifting rod connected to a mating plate and a lifting device that drives the rod to move.

[0012] According to the automatic temperature control cabinet of this utility model, the included angle between the two folding plates should be less than 180°.

[0013] This utility model provides an automatic temperature-controlled cabinet, including a cabinet body. The side walls of the cabinet body are equipped with a fan to generate airflow and a heating element to generate heat.

Multiple sets of partitions are arranged parallel to each other, and the distance between adjacent partitions is adjusted according to the size of the electrical components. Several through holes are provided on the partitions for airflow. A mating plate is movably arranged below the partitions. The mating plate is a thin plate structure, and its size should be smaller than the partitions. This mating plate also has the through holes, meaning that airflow can also pass through the mating plate. The mating plate and the partitions are connected by a guide plate. In the guide plate state, the mating plate and the partitions are parallel. The guide plate not only connects the mating plate and the partitions but also guides the airflow entering the gap between the mating plate and the partitions.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0021] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides an automatic temperature control cabinet, which includes a cabinet 1; the side wall of the cabinet 1 is provided with a fan that generates airflow and a heating component that generates heat (not shown in the figure). During normal use, the temperature control cabinet will activate the fan and heating component as needed by the environment.

[0022] The cabinet 1 is provided with at least one set of partitions 2 for supporting electrical components. Multiple sets of partitions 2 are arranged in parallel, and the distance between adjacent partitions 2 is adjusted according to the size of the electrical components. The partitions 2 are provided with several through holes 21 for airflow.

[0023] A mating plate 3 is movably disposed below the partition 2. The mating plate 3 is a thin plate structure, and its size should be smaller than that of the partition 2. The mating plate 3 is also provided with the through hole 21, that is to say, airflow can also pass through the mating plate 3 through the through hole 21.

[0024] The mating plate 3 and the partition plate 2 are connected by a guide plate 4. In the flow guiding state, the mating plate 3 and the partition plate 2 are parallel. The guide plate 4 not only connects the mating plate 3 and the partition plate 2, but also guides the airflow entering the gap between the mating plate 3 and the partition plate 2.

[0025] During operation, the partition 2 is driven by a drive structure to switch between a flow guiding state and a blocking state. In the flow guiding state, there is a gap between the mating plate 3 and the partition 2 for airflow to pass through. The airflow passing through this gap will enter the area above the through hole 21 through the guide plate 4. In this state, the temperature control cabinet enters a heat dissipation state. After the cold airflow enters the gap between the mating plate 3 and the partition 2, it can guide the flow to the guide plate 4 and enter the area where it connects with the electrical components through the through hole 21. Subsequently, the airflow will carry away the heat of the electrical components, thereby achieving the heat dissipation effect.

[0026] When in the blocked state, the mating plate 3 and the partition plate 2 are attached together, and the through holes 21 of the two are misaligned. At this time, the inside of the temperature control cabinet enters the heat preservation state. This is because the through holes 21 on the mating plate 3 are blocked by the partition plate 2, making it difficult for the heat at the bottom of the electrical components to dissipate, thus achieving the heat preservation effect.

[0027] See Figure 4 In the first embodiment, the guide plate 4 is a single-plate structure with unidirectional airflow guidance, and its two ends are hinged to the mating plate 3 and the partition plate 2. At the same time, the hinge shaft of the guide plate 4 connected to the mating plate 3 is connected to the drive motor (when changing the state, the position of the mating plate 3 can be moved simply by the motor driving the guide plate 4 to rotate). Specifically, multiple sets of guide plates 4 can be set, and two adjacent sets of guide plates 4 form a parallelogram structure with the mating plate 3 and the partition plate 2. It should be noted that if multiple sets of guide plates 4 are set, through holes for airflow can be set in some parts of the guide plate 4 (the through holes of adjacent guide plates 4 are staggered). The guide plate 4 without through holes performs airflow guidance in some parts, while the airflow passing through the through holes can be guided by the next set of guide plates 4.

[0028] See Figure 5 In the second embodiment, the guide plate 4 is a bidirectional guide plate with a movable folding structure, which includes two folding plates 41 that are hinged to each other; the ends of the folding plates 41 are hinged to the mating plate 3 or the partition plate 2; when the airflow blows on the guide plate 4, it will be dispersed into two airflows, one upward and one downward, which blow towards the electrical components located above the gap and the other downward, respectively.

[0029] The mating plate 3 is connected to a lifting structure. The lifting structure includes a lifting rod 5 connected to the mating plate 3 and a lifting device (cylinder or linear lifting motor) that drives its movement. During operation, the lifting device drives the lifting rod 5 to move up and down, further driving the mating plate 3 to move up and down. The included angle between the two folding plates 41 should be less than 180°.

[0030] In summary, this utility model provides an automatic temperature-controlled cabinet, including a cabinet body. The side walls of the cabinet body are equipped with a fan that generates airflow and a heating element that generates heat. During normal use, the fan and heating element are activated as needed by the environment. The cabinet body contains at least one set of partitions for supporting electrical components. Multiple sets of partitions are arranged parallel to each other, and the distance between adjacent partitions is adjusted according to the size of the electrical components. Several through holes are provided on the partitions for airflow. A mating plate is movably arranged below each partition. The mating plate is a thin plate structure, and its size should be smaller than that of the partition. This mating plate also has the through holes, meaning that airflow can also pass through the mating plate. The mating plate and the partitions are connected by a guide plate. In the guiding state, the mating plate and the partitions are parallel. The guide plate not only connects the mating plate and the partitions but also guides the airflow entering the gap between the mating plate and the partitions. This invention can adapt to changes in the required environment inside the electrical cabinet by switching states, thereby improving the temperature control of electrical components inside the cabinet and ensuring the working environment of the components.

[0031] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
