Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of control boxes with multiple functions, specifically a valve island control box. Background Technology
[0002] Valve islands are a new generation of pneumatic-electric integrated control components. They have evolved from valve islands with multi-pin interfaces to valve islands with fieldbus, and then to programmable valve islands and modular valve islands.
[0003] The combination of valve island technology and fieldbus technology not only ensures easy wiring of electrically controlled valves, but also greatly simplifies the debugging, performance testing and diagnosis, and maintenance of complex systems.
[0004] After the valve island is installed behind the control box, it needs to dissipate heat during operation. The traditional way to dissipate heat is through a cooling fan. In order to avoid dust affecting the valve island and other components, a dust filter is installed at the airflow inlet of the control box. However, after working for a long time, a lot of dust and debris will accumulate on the dust filter, affecting the subsequent heat dissipation effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] Purpose of the utility model: To provide a valve island control box to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] Technical solution: A valve island control box, comprising:
[0007] The enclosure includes a control unit and a heat dissipation unit housed within it.
[0008] The heat dissipation unit includes:
[0009] A U-shaped plate is located at the bottom of the housing and forms a U-shaped movement cavity with the housing. A heat dissipation input fan and a heat dissipation output fan are respectively provided on the inner walls at both ends of the U-shaped plate. Openings adapted to the heat dissipation input fan and the heat dissipation output fan are opened at both ends of the U-shaped plate.
[0010] The rotating shaft is designed in four sets and is inserted into the housing, located at the corner of the loop-shaped motion cavity;
[0011] A spiral-shaped dustproof net is installed inside the moving cavity and sleeved on the rotating shaft. The spiral-shaped dustproof net is supported by the rotating shaft to form a spiral shape.
[0012] The enclosure has an input port and an output port that are adapted to the heat dissipation input fan and the heat dissipation output fan, respectively. A drive motor is provided on the back of the enclosure, and the output end of the drive motor extends into the enclosure and is connected to any set of rotating shafts.
[0013] This invention achieves heat dissipation within the enclosure by designing a heat dissipation section. During operation, airflow enters and exits the enclosure via a heat dissipation input fan and a heat dissipation output fan. When there is a significant amount of dust on the U-shaped dust filter near the input port, a drive motor rotates the shaft, causing the U-shaped dust filter to move. This moves the dust filter, which is not heavily dusty, to the input port. When the dust filter with a large amount of dust moves to the output port, the heat dissipation output fan blows the dust away from the U-shaped dust filter, allowing the U-shaped dust filter to be reused and preventing dust on the filter from affecting the heat dissipation effect.
[0014] In a further embodiment, protective frames are installed on the input and output ports.
[0015] In a further embodiment, a circulating input fan and a circulating output fan are provided on the inner wall of the top of the U-shaped plate;
[0016] The circulating input fan is located at the end of the U-shaped plate near the heat dissipation input fan, and the circulating output fan is located at the end of the U-shaped plate near the heat dissipation output fan.
[0017] By designing a circulating input fan and a circulating output fan, airflow can pass through control components such as the valve island inside the enclosure, thereby completing the heat dissipation work for these components;
[0018] In a further embodiment, a lower ventilated plate and an upper ventilated plate are provided above the shaped plate, and a predetermined gap between the lower ventilated plate and the upper ventilated plate forms a placement cavity;
[0019] A secondary dustproof net is placed inside the placement cavity;
[0020] By designing a two-stage dustproof net, the dust that is not completely blown away from the spiral dustproof net can be prevented from affecting the control components.
[0021] In a further embodiment, the top of the lower ventilated plate, the upper ventilated plate, and the U-shaped plate are provided with ventilated grooves;
[0022] By designing ventilation channels, airflow can be allowed to enter the upper space of the enclosure.
[0023] In a further embodiment, the control unit includes a ball valve, an input through-plate connector, a dual unit, a valve island, and an output through-plate connector, which are disposed in the housing and connected in sequence.
[0024] The housing is also equipped with an electrical control component that is connected to the valve island.
[0025] Beneficial Effects: This utility model discloses a valve island control box. The design incorporates a heat dissipation section to cool the box. During operation, an input and output fan directs airflow into and out of the box. When the dust filter near the input port accumulates dust, a drive motor rotates the shaft, moving the dust filter. This causes the dust filter, less dusty, to move to the input port. Conversely, when the dust filter with a high dust load moves to the output port, the output fan blows the dust away, allowing the dust filter to be reused and preventing dust from affecting heat dissipation.

[0033] This application relates to a valve island control box, which will be explained in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0034] A valve island control box, comprising:
[0035] The enclosure 1 includes a control unit and a heat dissipation unit 2 disposed within the enclosure 1.
[0036] The control unit includes a ball valve 31, an input through-plate connector 32, a double unit 33, a valve island 34, and an output through-plate connector 35, which are arranged in sequence inside the housing 1.
[0037] The housing 1 is also equipped with an electrical control component that is connected to the valve island 34.
[0038] The heat dissipation unit 2 includes:
[0039] A U-shaped plate 21 is located at the bottom of the housing 1 and forms a U-shaped motion cavity 24 with the housing 1. A heat dissipation input fan 211 and a heat dissipation output fan 212 are respectively provided on the inner walls at both ends of the U-shaped plate 21. Openings adapted to the heat dissipation input fan 211 and the heat dissipation output fan 212 are opened at both ends of the U-shaped plate 21.
[0040] Four sets of rotating shafts 28 are designed and inserted into the housing 1, located at the corner of the loop-shaped motion cavity 24;
[0041] A spiral-shaped dustproof net 27 is disposed inside the moving cavity and sleeved on the rotating shaft 28. The spiral-shaped dustproof net 27 is supported by the rotating shaft 28 to form a spiral shape.
[0042] The housing 1 has an input port and an output port that are adapted to the heat dissipation input fan 211 and the heat dissipation output fan 212, respectively. A drive motor 29 is provided on the back of the housing 1. The output end of the drive motor 29 extends into the housing 1 and is connected to any set of rotating shafts 28.
[0043] This invention utilizes a heat dissipation unit 2 to dissipate heat within the housing 1. During operation, the heat dissipation input fan 211 and heat dissipation output fan 212 direct airflow into and out of the housing 1. When the circular dust filter 27 near the input port has a significant amount of dust, the drive motor 29 rotates the shaft 28, causing the circular dust filter 27 to move. This moves the circular dust filter 27, which is not heavily dusty, to the input port. When the circular dust filter 27 with a large amount of dust moves to the output port, the heat dissipation output fan 212 blows the dust away from the circular dust filter 27, allowing it to be reused and preventing dust on the filter from affecting the heat dissipation effect.
[0044] Protective frames 26 are installed on the input and output ports.
[0045] The inner wall at the top of the spiral plate 21 is provided with a circulating input fan and a circulating output fan;
[0046] The circulating input fan is located at the end of the U-shaped plate 21 near the heat dissipation input fan 211, and the circulating output fan is located at the end of the U-shaped plate 21 near the heat dissipation output fan 212;
[0047] By designing a circulating input fan and a circulating output fan, airflow can pass through control components such as the valve island 34 inside the housing 1, thereby completing the heat dissipation work for these components;
[0048] Above the U-shaped plate 21, there is also a lower ventilated plate 23 and an upper ventilated plate 22, and the predetermined gap between the lower ventilated plate 23 and the upper ventilated plate 22 forms a placement cavity 25.
[0049] A secondary dustproof net is placed inside the placement cavity 25;
[0050] By designing a two-stage dustproof net, the dust that is not completely blown away from the spiral dustproof net 27 is prevented from affecting the control components.
[0051] The top of the lower ventilated plate 23, the upper ventilated plate 22, and the U-shaped plate 21 are provided with ventilated grooves;
[0052] By designing ventilation channels, airflow can be allowed to enter the upper space of box 1.
[0053] Working principle description: During operation, the airflow from the external air source enters through the ball valve 31, is filtered by the dual unit 33, and then enters the valve island 34. The working port of the valve island 34 is connected to the output through-plate connector 35. The customer only needs to connect the output through-plate connector 35 to use the control box.
[0054] When the heat dissipation unit 2 is working, the airflow is introduced into the shaped plate 21 through the heat dissipation input fan 211, then into the upper part of the cabinet 1 through the circulation input fan, then into the shaped plate 21 again through the circulation output fan, and then out of the cabinet 1 through the heat dissipation output fan 212, thus completing the heat dissipation of the upper space of the cabinet 1.
[0055] After prolonged operation, a large amount of dust accumulates on the U-shaped dust filter 27 located at the input port. At this time, the drive motor 29 drives the rotating shaft 28 to rotate, causing the U-shaped dust filter 27 to move. This moves the U-shaped dust filter 27, which is no longer covered with a large amount of dust, to the input port. When the U-shaped dust filter 27 with a large amount of dust moves to the output port, the cooling output fan 212 blows the dust away from the U-shaped dust filter 27, allowing the U-shaped dust filter 27 to be recycled and preventing the dust on the dust filter from affecting the heat dissipation effect.
[0056] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various equivalent transformations can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such equivalent transformations fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
