[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a modular heat-dissipating low-voltage combiner cabinet is provided, including a cabinet body 1, an input component 2, a combiner component 3, and an output component 4.

The output component 4 is located in the first cavity 11 and is cooled independently by the first air-cooling component 6. The converging component 3 is located in the second cavity 12 and is cooled independently by the second air-cooling component 7. The output component 4 is located in the third cavity 13 and is cooled independently by the third air-cooling component 8.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2As shown, the input component 2 includes an incoming busbar 21, the busbar component 3 includes a first busbar 31, a second busbar 32, and several circuit breakers 33, and the output component 4 includes a disconnect switch 41 and an outgoing busbar 42.

One end of the outgoing busbar 42 is connected to an external back-end device, and the other end is connected to the disconnect switch 41. The other end of the disconnect switch 41 is connected to the output terminal 332 of the circuit breaker 33 through the second busbar 32. The partition structure 5 includes a vertically arranged first cabinet plate 51 and a second cabinet plate 52. The second cavity 12 is located between the first cabinet plate 51 and the second cabinet plate 52. A first crossbeam for mounting several circuit breakers 33 is provided between the first cabinet plate 51 and the second cabinet plate 52. A second crossbeam for mounting the disconnect switch 41 is provided between the second cabinet plate 52 and the inner wall of the cabinet body 1. The notch includes a first clearance opening on the first cabinet panel 51 and a second clearance opening on the second cabinet panel 52. The outer end of the first busbar 31 passes through the first clearance opening and its end is located in the first cavity 11 and connected to the incoming busbar 21. The outer end of the second busbar 32 passes through the second clearance opening and its end is located in the third cavity 13 and connected to the terminal of the disconnect switch 41.
[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the partition structure 5 also includes a horizontally arranged third cabinet panel 53, a fourth cabinet panel 54, and a vertically arranged fifth cabinet panel 55. The third cabinet panel 53, the first cabinet panel 51, and the inner wall of the cabinet body 1 constitute the first cavity 11. The fourth cabinet panel 54, the first cabinet panel 51, the second cabinet panel 52, and the inner wall of the cabinet body 1 constitute the second cavity 12. The fifth cabinet panel 55, the second cabinet panel 52, and the inner wall of the cabinet body 1 constitute the third cavity 13. The third cabinet panel 53, the fourth cabinet panel 54, the fifth cabinet panel 55, and the inner wall of the cabinet body 1 form the fourth cavity 14. The first air-cooling component 6, the second air-cooling component 7, and the third air-cooling component 8 are all disposed in the fourth cavity 14.
[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the first air-cooling component 6 includes a first air guide shroud 61 and a first fan (not shown in the figure). The third cabinet plate 53 has a first mounting groove adapted to the air outlet end of the first air guide shroud 61. The air inlet end of the first air guide shroud 61 is located inside the fourth cavity 14, and its end is connected to a first air inlet pipe 62. The other end of the first air inlet pipe 62 is connected to the first fan. The first fan is located on the outer side of the cabinet body 1. Specifically, the structure and function of the second air-cooling component 7 are the same as those of the first air-cooling component 6. The difference is that the second air-cooling component 7 is located at the bottom of the second cavity 12 through the fourth cabinet plate 54. The structure and function of the third air-cooling component 8 are the same as those of the first air-cooling component 6. The difference is that the third air-cooling component 8 is located on the side wall of the third cavity 13 through the fifth cabinet plate 55. The first air guide shroud 61 and the second air guide shroud are both vertically oriented, while the third air guide shroud is horizontally oriented. Integrating three sets of air guide shrouds in the fourth cavity 14 helps to reduce the space occupied in the vertical direction in this embodiment.
[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a first air inlet plate 63, which covers the air outlet port of the first air guide shroud 61 and is connected to the third cabinet plate 53. The first air inlet plate 63 has several equally spaced strip-shaped air inlet slots 631. Specifically, the edge of the air outlet port of the first air guide shroud 61 has a flange extending outward and rests on the first mounting slot through the flange. The first air inlet plate 63 is connected to the third cabinet plate 53 by screws and covers the air outlet end of the first air guide shroud 61. The first air inlet plate 63 presses against the flange to achieve the effect of installing and fixing the first air guide shroud 61. The multiple strip-shaped air inlet slots 631 adjust the air inlet diameter of the air guide shroud, which helps to improve the air flow speed. On the other hand, it reduces the possibility of large particles of impurities in the cavity entering the air guide shroud or maintenance tools falling into the air guide shroud during routine equipment maintenance. The installation structure and function of the second air-cooling component 7 and the third air-cooling component 8 in this embodiment are the same as those of the first air-cooling component 6, so they will not be described again here.
[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, a first temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) is further included. The first temperature sensor is located inside the first cavity 11 and can monitor the temperature inside the first cavity 11 in real time. Specifically, a second temperature sensor is also included in the second cavity 12, a third stabilizing sensor is included in the third cavity 13, and an information processor (not shown in the figure) is included in the fourth cavity 14. The first, second, and third temperature sensors are electrically connected to the information processor. The first, second, and third fans are electrically connected to the power supply through the information processor. The three temperature sensors monitor the temperature inside the three cavities in real time. When the temperature reaches a preset value that needs to be cooled, the information processor transmits a working signal to the fans to dissipate heat according to the heat level of different components.
[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, it also includes several equally spaced strip-shaped air outlet slots 111. These slots 111 are located on the top wall of the first cavity 11 and are arranged vertically opposite to the strip-shaped air inlet slots 631. The hot air inside the cavity is dissipated using these slots 111. The tops of the second cavity 12 and the third cavity 13 are respectively provided with strip-shaped air outlet slots 111, the length of which needs to be adjusted according to the width of the cavity. The three sets of strip-shaped air outlet slots 111 directly dissipate the hot air in the corresponding cavities to the outside, preventing heat from accumulating in the cabinet body 1.
[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a first dust cover 9, which covers the top wall of the cabinet body 1 and seals several of the strip-shaped air outlet slots 111. The first dust cover 9 has first air outlets 91 on both sides, and a first dust baffle 92 is provided on the outer side of each first air outlet 91. The bottom of the first dust baffle 92 has a vertically oriented opening. Specifically, the bottom of the first dust cover 9 has an outwardly extending flange, which is connected to the top of the cabinet body 1 by screws. By using the dust cover and the side-designed first air outlets 91, the vertically oriented air outlets are adjusted to a horizontal orientation, and the dust baffle reduces the entry of external dust into the cavity.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
