Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PLC control cabinet technology, specifically to a modular PLC control cabinet with an air-cooled and moisture-proof structure. Background Technology

[0002] A modular PLC control cabinet is a type of equipment cabinet used to store PLC modules. By combining the various functional modules of the PLC system (such as input modules, output modules, CPU modules, communication modules, etc.) as needed and neatly installing them in the control cabinet, it provides a solution that is easy to install, maintain, and expand. This type of control cabinet is highly flexible and can add or replace different PLC modules according to production needs, realizing system upgrades and functional expansion. The modular design not only simplifies the wiring and connection of the PLC system, but also improves the reliability and maintainability of the system. It is suitable for various automation control applications, and its compact structure and ease of operation make it suitable for long-term stable operation in industrial environments.

[0003] Traditional modular PLC control cabinets in the prior art typically lack active heat dissipation and dehumidification functions. This leads to problems such as high temperature and humidity in PLC modules after prolonged operation. Because the heat inside the control cabinet cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, the PLC modules and their electronic components are prone to overheating failures due to excessive temperature, which in turn affects the stability and reliability of the system. In high-temperature environments, the aging rate of electronic components is accelerated, which may lead to a decrease in the response speed of the control system, or even system crashes or failures. In addition, the accumulation of moisture also has a negative impact on the PLC modules and their circuits. Humid environments can easily lead to problems such as poor electrical contact and short circuits, and in severe cases, may even cause circuit board corrosion, reducing the service life of the PLC modules. The combined effects of moisture and temperature make it more difficult to ensure the stability of the internal environment of the control cabinet, thereby affecting the reliability and safety of the entire automation control system. PLC systems that are in such an environment for a long time may face a series of problems such as frequent failures, increased maintenance costs, and system downtime, further affecting production efficiency and normal equipment operation. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a modular PLC control cabinet with an air-cooled and moisture-proof structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular PLC control cabinet with an air-cooled and moisture-proof structure, solving the problem that traditional modular PLC control cabinets in the prior art usually lack active heat dissipation and dehumidification functions. This leads to problems such as high temperature and humidity in PLC modules after long-term operation. Because the heat inside the control cabinet cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, the PLC module and other electronic components are prone to overheating failures due to excessive temperature, which in turn affects the stability and reliability of the system. In a high-temperature environment, the aging rate of electronic components is accelerated, which may lead to a decrease in the response speed of the control system, or even system crashes or failures.

A humid environment can easily lead to problems such as poor electrical contact and short circuits. In severe cases, it may also cause circuit board corrosion, reducing the service life of the PLC module. The dual effects of moisture and temperature make it more difficult to ensure the stability of the internal environment of the control cabinet, which in turn affects the reliability and safety of the entire automation control system. PLC systems that are in such an environment for a long time may face a series of problems such as frequent failures, increased maintenance costs, and system downtime, further affecting production efficiency and normal equipment operation.
