Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of explosion-proof electrical technology, and in particular to a drainage protection structure for an explosion-proof distribution cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Explosion-proof distribution cabinets, as crucial electrical control equipment used in flammable and explosive environments, are widely applied in special industrial sites such as chemical, mining, and petroleum industries. Their primary function is to ensure the safe operation of power distribution systems and prevent explosions caused by electrical sparks or short circuits. Because these environments often present challenges such as high humidity, high dust levels, and even water vapor infiltration, the sealing and drainage capabilities of the distribution cabinet are particularly critical. Especially outdoors or underground, heavy rain or humid air can easily cause moisture to enter the cabinet, affecting the normal operation of components and even leading to short circuits or safety accidents.
[0003] Existing explosion-proof distribution cabinets generally employ a welded or bolted cabinet frame design, with drainage holes or channels at the bottom to allow internal water to drain out through gravity. Internal components are typically mounted on an integrated mounting plate, with cable trays or clamps securing the wiring to ensure stability and safety. Additionally, some units have sloping guide surfaces at the bottom to aid in water collection and drainage to the outlet. These structures physically guide water out, reducing the corrosive effect of water on electrical components.
[0004] However, existing explosion-proof distribution cabinets generally suffer from large gaps between the cabinet door and the cabinet body, allowing moisture to easily enter. Especially in heavy rainfall or high humidity environments, poor sealing inside the cabinet can lead to rainwater or condensation seeping in, causing electrical faults. Furthermore, traditional drainage designs often rely on simple openings, making backflow prevention difficult. If external water flows back into the cabinet, it not only cannot be drained promptly but may also exacerbate the internal humidity environment, affecting the equipment's operational stability and explosion-proof safety performance. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a drainage protection structure for explosion-proof distribution cabinets, aiming to improve the problems that exist in existing explosion-proof distribution cabinet structures, such as large gaps between the cabinet door and the cabinet body, easy entry of water vapor, and inability to expel internal water vapor.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drainage protection structure for an explosion-proof distribution cabinet, comprising a base, a distribution motor body fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, a distribution unit disposed inside the distribution motor body, a drainage groove disposed inside the distribution unit, a water collection tank fixedly connected to the lower surface of the distribution unit, a one-way drain valve fixedly connected to the lower surface of the water collection tank, a hinge fixedly connected to the outer wall of the distribution motor body, a distribution door fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hinge, and a sealing component disposed inside the distribution door;
[0007] The sealing assembly includes a sealing strip one, which is disposed inside the power distribution door. A spring one is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the power distribution door. A push plate is fixedly connected to one end of the spring one. The outer wall of the push plate is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the sealing strip one.

[0008] Furthermore, a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the power distribution unit body. A protective plate is fixedly connected to one sliding end of the sliding rod. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective plate. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the fixing plate. A compression plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing frame. A buffer ring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the compression plate. A spring is provided on the inner wall of the buffer ring. A compression plate is fixedly connected to one end of the spring. A buffer block is fixedly connected to one end of the compression plate. A compression rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the buffer block. A spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the compression rod. A fixing block is slidably connected to one end of the compression rod.
[0009] Furthermore, a top plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the power distribution unit, and a waterproof cover is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top plate.
[0010] Furthermore, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top plate, and a button is provided on the outer wall of the power distributor.
[0011] Furthermore, the sliding rod is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the power distribution unit, and the buffer block is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the power distribution unit.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. In this utility model, by setting a power distributor inside the power distribution unit and a drainage groove on its outer wall, condensate water is facilitated to collect to one side. A water collection tank and a one-way drain valve are set below in sequence to realize the centralized discharge of condensate water and prevent water accumulation. In addition, a sealing component is set between the power distribution door and the power distribution unit, including two layers of sealing strips, springs and push plates, etc., to enhance the sealing performance, effectively prevent external moisture from seeping into the cabinet, and ensure the insulation and safety of electrical components inside the cabinet.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, a buffer structure is installed on the outer wall of the power distribution unit to enhance its impact resistance. The buffer structure includes a protective plate, a buffer ring, a spring, and multiple sets of compression and sliding connectors. When the cabinet is subjected to external impact, the spring deformation and component sliding can absorb part of the impact force, effectively mitigating and dispersing the energy. This avoids problems such as significant deformation of the cabinet, weld cracking, or paint peeling, thereby improving the durability and stability of the overall structure and meeting the high requirements for impact resistance in explosion-proof environments.

[0030] Working principle: When a drainage protection structure for an explosion-proof distribution cabinet is required, a distribution body 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. A distributor 11 is installed inside the distribution body 2. A drainage groove 15 is installed on the outer wall of the distributor 11. The upper drainage groove 15 is designed with one end higher than the other. A water collection tank 13 and a one-way drain valve 14 are fixedly connected below to collect and discharge condensate or seepage water to prevent water accumulation. The distribution door 4 is installed on the outer wall of the distribution body 2 via a hinge 3 and has a sealing component inside. The sealing component includes a sealing strip 16 on one side of the outer wall of the distribution door 4 and a sealing strip 17 inside the distribution body 2. Together with the auxiliary pressing structure formed by the spring 18 and the push plate 19, it can enhance the sealing performance when the door is closed and effectively prevent water vapor from entering the cabinet.
[0031] In addition, a sliding rod 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the distribution motor body 2. A protective plate 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 9.
