Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] Example

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a moisture-proof structure, including a cabinet 10 and a moisture-proof part 20.

[0026] The moisture-proof part 20 is located inside the cabinet 10. It not only has a simple overall structure, but also plays a good role in moisture prevention, providing better protection for the electrical components inside the PLC control cabinet.

[0027] The moisture-proof component 20 includes a cover plate 210, a fan 220, an electric heating element 230, and a guide channel steel 240. The cover plate 210 is fixed inside the cabinet 10, and the cover plate 210, the bottom wall, and the side wall of the cabinet 10 form an installation cavity. The fan 220 is installed at the bottom of the cover plate 210 to blow air into the cabinet 10. The electric heating element 230 is installed on the bottom wall of the cabinet 10 below the fan 220. Two sets of guide channel steel 240 are respectively set on both sides inside the cabinet 10. The bottom end of the guide channel steel 240 penetrates the cover plate 210, and a ventilation gap is reserved between the top end of the guide channel steel 240 and the top wall of the cabinet 10. The guide channel steel 240 is provided with a guide slot 250 near the inner wall of the cabinet 10.

[0028] The air in the mounting cavity formed between the cover plate 210 and the cabinet 10 is heated by the electric heating element 230. The heated air is then sent into the electrical component chamber inside the cabinet 10 by the fan 220. The hot air evaporates the moisture inside the cabinet 10, and the warmer air rises to the top of the guide channel steel 240 and flows back into the mounting cavity below the cover plate 210 through the guide channel opening 250 for reuse. This moisture-proof structure has a simple design and can quickly remove moisture from inside the cabinet 10, ensuring that the PLC and other electrical components inside the cabinet 10 can operate stably in a dry environment.

[0029] In a specific configuration, the moisture-proof section 20 also includes a second filter 260, which is located at the top of the guide channel 250. The second filter 260 reduces the flow of dust, debris, and other impurities from inside the cabinet 10 into the mounting cavity at the bottom of the cover plate 210.

[0030] The moisture-proof structure also includes a lifting and sealing section 30, which includes an electric push rod 310, a bracket 320, and a sealing plate 330. A ventilation opening 110 is provided on the side wall of the cabinet 10, and the sealing plate 330 is located inside the ventilation opening 110. The electric push rod 310 is installed below the cover plate 210, and the bracket 320 connects the output rod end of the electric push rod 310 and the sealing plate 330.

[0031] When the air outside the cabinet 10 is not humid, the electrical components inside the cabinet 10 can be cooled by the cooperation of the lifting and blocking part 30 and the moisture-proof part 20. During the cooling operation, the electric heating tube 230 stops operating, and the electric push rod 310 drives the blocking plate 330 to move upward through the bracket 320. The blocking plate 330, which was originally blocking part of the vent 110, moves upward, and the cold air outside can enter the installation cavity through the vent 110. The operation of the fan 220 sends the cooler air into the cabinet 10 to cool the electrical components inside the cabinet 10. The hotter air inside the cabinet 10 will flow back from the inner top of the cabinet 10 through the guide slot 250 to the installation cavity below the cover plate 210, and then dissipate outward through the vent 110 on the outside of the cabinet 10.

[0032] Furthermore, a first filter 120 is installed inside the vent 110. The first filter 120 serves to filter dust, preventing external dust and debris from entering the cabinet 10.

[0033] Specifically, the cabinet 10 has multiple ventilation openings 110 on its outer wall. An exhaust vent is located on the cover 210, and a fan 220 is installed at the bottom of the exhaust vent. Grilles are installed above and below the fan 220.

[0034] This application also provides a PLC intelligent control cabinet, including the aforementioned moisture-proof structure, which is adaptable to installation inside control cabinets of various specifications.

[0035] The control cabinet can be equipped with humidity and temperature sensors to control and regulate humidity and temperature by detecting the humidity and temperature inside the cabinet.

[0036] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the fan 220, electric heating element 230, and electric actuator 310 need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here. The power supply and principle of the fan 220, electric heating element 230, and electric actuator 310 are clear to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] The working principle of this moisture-proof structure and PLC intelligent control cabinet is as follows: During use, the air in the mounting cavity formed between the cover plate 210 and the cabinet 10 is heated by the electric heating tube 230. The heated air is then sent into the electrical component chamber inside the cabinet 10 by the fan 220. The hot air evaporates the moisture inside the cabinet 10, and the warmer air rises to the top of the guide channel steel 240 and flows back to the mounting cavity below the cover plate 210 through the guide channel opening 250 for reuse. This moisture-proof structure has a simple design and can quickly remove moisture from inside the cabinet 10, ensuring that the PLC and other electrical components inside the cabinet 10 can operate stably in a dry environment.

[0038] 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.
