[0036] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0037] See Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides an infrared thermal imaging temperature measuring instrument for electrical cabinets, which includes a housing 100, an integrated circuit board 200, and a thermally conductive silicone sheet 300.
[0038] Regarding the housing 100, heat dissipation fins 111 are provided on the outer side of the rear wall 110 of the housing, and heat dissipation bosses 112 are provided on the inner side of the rear wall 110 of the housing, which form heat conduction with the heat dissipation fins 111 through the housing wall (see Figure 3 and Figure 5 ).
[0039] The integrated circuit board 200 is disposed in the inner cavity 1a of the housing and is located near the rear wall 110 of the housing (see...). Figure 3 and Figure 5 ).
[0040] One side of the thermally conductive silicone pad 300 is attached to the heat-generating component 210 of the integrated circuit board 200, and the other side is attached to the heat dissipation boss 112 (see...). Figure 3 and Figure 6 ).
[0041] Among them, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 There are multiple heat dissipation protrusions 112, and the position of each heat dissipation protrusion 112 corresponds one-to-one with the corresponding heat-generating component 210 on the integrated circuit board 200. The height of each heat dissipation protrusion 112 is adapted to the protrusion height of the corresponding heat-generating component 210 on the integrated circuit board 200. That is, some heat-generating components 210 protrude slightly higher, while others protrude slightly lower. The protrusion height of different heat dissipation protrusions 112 may vary and needs to be adapted to the corresponding heat-generating component 210. If the heat-generating component 210 protrudes higher, the heat dissipation protrusion 112 needs to protrude lower, and vice versa.
[0042] The aforementioned heat dissipation component 112 generally refers to various chips on the integrated circuit board 200, which are usually the components that generate the most heat on the entire integrated circuit board 200.
[0043] The aforementioned infrared thermal imaging thermometer for electrical cabinets abandons the traditional fan-based cooling solution. Instead, it optimizes the heat dissipation structure by installing heat dissipation fins 111 on the outer side of the rear wall 110 of the housing, followed by thermally conductive silicone pads 200 and heat dissipation protrusions 112. This allows heat from the heating element 210 to be conducted through the thermally conductive silicone pads 200, heat dissipation protrusions 112, and the housing wall to the heat dissipation fins 111, where it is dissipated. The thermally conductive silicone pads 200 and heat dissipation protrusions 112 create a direct heat dissipation channel with the heating element 210, enabling rapid heat transfer to the heat dissipation fins 111 and improving heat dissipation efficiency. This heat dissipation structure effectively solves the problem of the large size of traditional thermometers due to the inclusion of cooling fans.
[0044] In another embodiment, the present invention also includes a temperature measuring device 400 and a buffer and shock absorption device 500.
[0045] The temperature measuring device 400 is disposed in the inner cavity 1a of the housing. (See also...) Figure 3 and Figure 4 The temperature measuring device 400 includes a visible light lens module 410, the lens of which protrudes from the front wall 120 of the housing (see...). Figure 1 The lens barrel extends perpendicularly to the front wall 120 of the housing into the inner cavity 1a of the housing (see...). Figure 3 ).
[0046] The buffer and shock absorption device 500 is disposed in the inner cavity 1a of the housing. See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The buffer and shock absorption device 500 includes a first mounting post 510, a first fixing plate 520, a first connecting screw 530, and a spring 540. Four first mounting posts 510 are arranged around the periphery of the visible light lens module 410, with one end fixed to the front wall 120 of the housing and the other end extending perpendicularly into the inner cavity 1a of the housing. The first fixing plate 520 is mounted on the end of the first mounting post 510 by the first connecting screw 530, with a gap between the first connecting screw 530 and the first mounting post 510 (i.e., the nut of the first connecting screw 530 is not tightly pressed against the end of the first mounting post 510, but has a gap), providing space for the back-and-forth movement of the first fixing plate 520. Simultaneously, the first fixing plate 520 is relatively fixed to the visible light lens module 410. The springs 540 are four in number and are respectively sleeved around the periphery of each first mounting post 510. One end of the spring 540 abuts against the front wall 120 of the housing, and the other end abuts against the first fixing plate 520.
[0047] The aforementioned buffer and shock absorption device 500 can effectively reduce the vibration amplitude of the visible light lens module 410, thereby achieving a buffering and shock absorption effect. When the temperature measuring instrument is installed in the electrical cabinet, the vibration generated when the electrical cabinet is working will be transmitted to the visible light lens module 410, which will in turn drive the first fixed plate 520 to vibrate together. At this time, the spring 540 will absorb and buffer the vibration energy through its own deformation, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude transmitted to the visible light lens module 410 and achieving a buffering and shock absorption effect.
[0048] Typically, the temperature measuring device 400 also includes an infrared lens module 420. See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The infrared lens module 420 is located on the side of the visible light lens module 410, and the lens of the infrared lens module 420 also protrudes from the front wall 120 of the housing.
[0049] Furthermore, the infrared lens module 420 is fixed to the housing 100 via the second mounting post 610 and the second fixing plate 620.
[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 Four second mounting posts 610 are arranged around the periphery of the infrared lens module 420, with one end of each post fixed to the front wall 120 of the housing and the other end extending perpendicularly into the inner cavity 1a of the housing. The second fixing plate 620 is secured by second connecting screws 630 (see...). Figure 6 It is locked to the end of the second mounting post 610, and the second fixing plate 620 is fixed relative to the infrared lens module 420.
[0051] Typically, to avoid insufficient lighting inside the electrical cabinet, the temperature measuring device 400 also includes a lighting lamp 430 for providing illumination to the visible light lens module 410, and the lighting lamp 430 is fixed to the front wall 120 of the housing.
[0052] The temperature measurement principle of the aforementioned temperature measuring device is as follows: Visible light images of the object are acquired through the visible light lens module 410. Image processing technology is used to extract feature information of the target area from the image, such as color, shape, and location. Then, infrared thermal imaging technology is combined to measure the temperature of the target area. This temperature measurement method overcomes the problem of accurately determining the measurement area in traditional infrared temperature measurement, improving the accuracy and reliability of temperature measurement. With data transmission and display, the highest, lowest, and average temperatures of the area can be displayed in real time. Furthermore, the highest temperature of a specific area can be plotted in real time to form a historical temperature curve for later reference.
[0053] Preferred, see Figure 5The housing 100 consists of two parts, with the front wall 120 being a separate part that is detachably connected to the other part (the part having the housing cavity 1a) by screws.
[0054] In another embodiment, the temperature measuring instrument of this invention also includes a partition plate 710. See also Figure 3 The partition plate 710 is fixed in the inner cavity 1a of the housing and separates the integrated circuit board 200 from the temperature measuring device 400 to reduce electromagnetic interference between them.
[0055] Preferably, the partition plate 710 is made of antistatic acrylic material. Although acrylic material itself does not have antistatic properties and has a high surface resistivity, making it prone to static electricity accumulation, it can be made to have antistatic properties through special processing techniques. For example, by adding antistatic agents, surface coating, or film coating techniques, acrylic material can be given excellent antistatic function. When applied to this utility model, it effectively prevents electromagnetic interference caused by electrostatic discharge and protects the normal operation of electronic equipment.
[0056] Preferably, the partition plate 710 is fixed to the housing 100 by a third mounting post 720. See details below. Figure 3 and Figure 5 There are four third mounting posts 720, which are correspondingly arranged at the four corners of the partition plate 710. One end of the third mounting post 720 is fixed to the front wall 120 of the housing, and the other end is fixed by the third connecting screw 730 (see...). Figure 6 The partition plate 710 is fixed relative to the front wall 120 of the housing.
[0057] In addition, the thermometer of this utility model also includes a wiring port 800, which is disposed on the bottom wall 130 of the housing and connected to the corresponding component in the inner cavity 1a of the housing.
[0058] In another embodiment, the thermometer of this invention also includes an angle adjustment device 900. See also... Figures 1 to 3 The angle adjustment device 900 includes a ball joint shaft 910 and a mounting base 920. One end of the ball joint shaft 910 is fixed to the outer side of the rear wall 110 of the housing, and the other end has a spherical body 911. The bottom of the mounting base 920 can be fixedly connected to the cabinet wall of the electrical cabinet by screws, and the other end is provided with a spherical groove 921. The spherical body 911 is embedded in the spherical groove 921 and can be adjusted at an angle relative to the spherical groove 921.
[0059] During installation, the bottom of the mounting base 920 is fixedly connected to the wall of the electrical cabinet with screws, thereby fixing the thermometer in the electrical cabinet. After installation, the angle of the thermometer can be adjusted by rotating the ball joint shaft 910, allowing the spherical body 911 to rotate in the spherical groove 921, so that the visible light lens module 410 and the infrared lens module 420 of the temperature measuring device 400 are aligned with the area to be measured.
[0060] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
