[0028] This utility model provides a corrosion-resistant and weather-resistant outdoor meter box, which aims to solve the problems of existing outdoor meter boxes where external dust can easily enter the box and adhere to the equipment surface, affecting heat dissipation and normal operation. Furthermore, when there is a large temperature difference between day and night, water droplets can easily form inside the box, causing excessive humidity and potentially leading to short circuits, leakage, and other safety hazards. In addition, the box body is prone to aging, deformation, and corrosion when exposed to the outdoors for a long time, resulting in a decrease in the box's sealing performance and making it difficult to provide a reliable protective environment for the internal equipment.
[0029] like Figure 1-7 As shown in the figure, an outdoor meter box with corrosion resistance and weather resistance provided by this utility model includes a meter box structure 1. An air inlet louver assembly 2 is bolted to the left side of the meter box structure 1, and an air outlet louver assembly 3 is bolted to the right side of the meter box structure 1. A drying box 4 is provided on the inner wall of the meter box structure 1. A heating assembly 5 is bolted to the inner wall of the meter box structure 1. A fan assembly 6 is provided on the inner wall of the meter box structure 1. A dust filter rack 7 is snapped onto the inner wall of the meter box structure 1. The meter box structure 1 includes a base layer 101. A reinforcing layer 102 is provided on the surface of the base layer 101. A weather-resistant layer 103 is provided on the surface of the reinforcing layer 102. An anti-corrosion layer 104 is provided on the surface of the weather-resistant layer 103.
[0030] In this utility model's technical solution, by setting up an electric meter box structure 1, an air inlet louver assembly 2, an air outlet louver assembly 3, a drying box 4, a heating assembly 5, a fan assembly 6, and a dust filter rack 7, the outdoor electric meter box structure 1 forms an air convection channel through the air inlet louver assembly 2 and the air outlet louver assembly 3. Combined with the internal fan assembly 6, this effectively promotes air circulation within the electric meter box structure 1, reducing heat accumulation caused by equipment operation. Simultaneously, the dust filter rack 7 intercepts dust in the air, preventing it from entering the electric meter box structure 1 and affecting equipment operation. The drying box 4 and the heating assembly 5 can regulate the humidity within the electric meter box structure 1. To prevent short circuits or corrosion caused by condensation and effectively ensure the safe and stable operation of internal equipment, the multi-layered composite structure of the meter box structure 1, consisting of a base layer 101, a reinforcing layer 102, a weather-resistant layer 103, and an anti-corrosion layer 104, provides progressive support from mechanical strength to environmental protection. The base layer 101 provides the structural foundation, the reinforcing layer 102 enhances the strength of the box, the weather-resistant layer 103 resists the erosion of natural environments such as ultraviolet rays and wind and rain, and the anti-corrosion layer 104 isolates corrosive substances such as acids and alkalis. This improves the anti-aging and corrosion resistance of the meter box structure 1 in complex outdoor environments, extends its service life, and reduces maintenance costs.
[0031] Please refer to the following: Figure 7The reinforcing layer 102 is made of zinc-aluminum alloy, the weather-resistant layer 103 is made of polyvinylidene fluoride, and the anti-corrosion layer 104 is made of nano-silica. In this embodiment, the zinc-aluminum alloy of the reinforcing layer 102, with its excellent electrochemical protection characteristics and mechanical strength, can protect the base metal 101 from corrosion through the sacrificial anode principle and enhance the overall structural rigidity of the meter box structure 1. The polyvinylidene fluoride of the weather-resistant layer 103 has excellent resistance to ultraviolet rays and aging, and can withstand long-term corrosion from harsh outdoor climates. The nano-silica of the anti-corrosion layer 104 can form a dense protective film with ultra-small particle size, which is not only hard and wear-resistant, but also self-cleaning and hydrophobic. The three layers work together to improve the corrosion resistance and weather resistance of the meter box structure 1.
