AI Technical Summary
The existing soft starter cabinet's heat dissipation structure disperses airflow, resulting in poor heat dissipation.
An air duct system is adopted, including vertical and horizontal ducts. The airflow is concentrated through the vertical duct to the horizontal duct, and then dissipates heat from the electrical components through the air outlets on the horizontal duct. Combined with temperature sensing elements to control the temperature, ineffective airflow is reduced.
This results in more concentrated airflow, faster heat dissipation, more even airflow to electrical appliances, and reduced energy consumption.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soft starter cabinet technology, specifically to a soft starter cabinet with fast heat dissipation. Background Technology
[0002] Soft starter cabinets are used for starting various high-power motors. They replace traditional starting methods with soft starting to achieve smooth starting, reduce starting current, reduce the mechanical impact on the motor and the power grid caused by the large current during motor startup, improve power quality, and save energy.
[0003] When the equipment inside the soft starter cabinet is started, the heat will rise. Therefore, a heat dissipation structure is set on the soft starter cabinet. The existing heat dissipation structure usually only sets a cooling fan on the side panel to blow air into the interior to achieve the heat dissipation effect. However, the airflow blown by the fan in this structure is too dispersed and not concentrated enough, resulting in poor heat dissipation effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] In summary, to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a soft starter cabinet with more concentrated airflow and faster heat dissipation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a soft starter cabinet with fast heat dissipation, comprising a cabinet body and a blower assembly. The cabinet body is provided with several mounting brackets, and the side wall of the cabinet body is provided with an air inlet. The blower assembly is located in the cabinet body at a position corresponding to the air inlet. It also includes an air guide pipe, which includes a vertical pipe and a horizontal pipe. The vertical pipe is connected to the blower assembly, and the air guide pipe is provided with a horizontal pipe at each mounting bracket position that is connected to the vertical pipe. The horizontal pipe is provided with an air outlet facing the mounting bracket.
[0006] With this setup, when in use, the blower assembly is activated, continuously sending airflow into the cabinet from the air inlet. The airflow then flows through the vertical pipe of the air duct to the horizontal pipe, and then blows directly onto the high-temperature appliance through the air outlet on the horizontal pipe to cool it down. The cooled airflow then exits through the wiring hole, repeating this cooling process continuously. This results in more concentrated airflow, reduced ineffective flow, and faster heat dissipation. Each mounting bracket can be equipped with one horizontal pipe for cooling or two pipes for cooling from both top and bottom. Temperature sensors can also be installed inside the cabinet to detect the temperature and control the cooling when the temperature is too high, reducing energy consumption. The bottom of the mounting bracket can be adapted to the actual position and shape of the air duct.
[0007] Furthermore, the vertical tube is provided, and one end of the horizontal tube is connected to the vertical tube and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the cabinet.
[0008] With this setup, the vertical pipe will act as the main branch to distribute the air to each horizontal pipe. Once delivered to the horizontal pipe, the air will not continue to flow; it will simply flow out of the air outlet, making it more stable. The horizontal pipe can be connected to the inner wall of the cabinet using various conventional connection methods such as adhesive bonding, snap-fit, and threaded connection to enhance stability.
[0009] Furthermore, the air duct is provided with a secondary air duct, which is connected to the air duct. The secondary air duct and the horizontal pipe are located at the front and rear ends of the mounting frame, respectively. The secondary air duct is provided with a secondary air outlet facing the mounting frame at each position of the mounting frame.
[0010] With this setup, the secondary air outlet on the secondary air duct can work in conjunction with the air outlet on the horizontal duct to continuously blow air and dissipate heat from both the front and rear ends of the appliance from two directions simultaneously, resulting in more even airflow and better heat dissipation for the appliance.
[0011] Furthermore, the secondary air duct and the air guide duct are located on the same side of the cabinet body.
[0012] With this setup, when the secondary air duct and the ductwork are on the same side, the connecting pipes can be shorter, making installation easier.
[0013] Furthermore, the top of the secondary air duct is connected to the top of the air guide duct.
[0014] With this setup, airflow from the top to the secondary duct is smoother.
[0015] Furthermore, the secondary air duct is vertically arranged and located inside the cabinet on the side facing the cabinet door.
[0016] With this setup, the vertically positioned secondary air duct located on the side of the cabinet door will not interfere with the operator's work when the cabinet door is open, and the horizontal duct located inside will not affect the operator's work even if it is positioned horizontally.
[0017] Furthermore, the horizontal pipe has a downwardly inclined air inlet pipe at one end facing the vertical pipe.
[0018] With this design, the angled air inlet duct makes it easier for airflow to be diverted to the horizontal duct.
[0019] Furthermore, the blowing assembly is a blower.
[0020] With this configuration, the blower generates airflow faster and has a better heat dissipation effect. Attached Figure Description

[0025] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present embodiment and is not intended to limit the present embodiment. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to the present embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of the present embodiment.
[0026] Referring to the accompanying drawings, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a soft starter cabinet with fast heat dissipation, including a cabinet body 1 and a blower assembly 2. The cabinet body 1 is provided with several mounting brackets 101. The side wall of the cabinet body 1 is provided with an air inlet 102. The blower assembly 2 is located in the cabinet body 1 at a position corresponding to the air inlet 102. It also includes an air guide pipe 3. The air guide pipe 3 includes a vertical pipe 301 and a horizontal pipe 302. The vertical pipe 301 is connected to the blower assembly 2. The air guide pipe 3 is provided with a horizontal pipe 302 connected to the vertical pipe 301 at each position of the mounting bracket 101. The horizontal pipe 302 is provided with an air outlet 3021 facing the mounting bracket 101. The above configuration is not limited, and the cabinet body 1 may also be provided with additional air outlet holes.
[0027] With this setup, when in use, the blower assembly 2 is activated, continuously sending airflow into the cabinet 1 from the air inlet 102. The airflow then flows through the vertical pipe 301 of the air duct 3 to the horizontal pipe 302, and then blows directly onto the high-temperature appliance through the air outlet 3021 on the horizontal pipe 302 to cool it down. The cooled airflow is then discharged again from the wiring hole. This cooling process is repeated continuously, making the airflow more concentrated, reducing ineffective flow, and cooling down faster. One mounting bracket 101 can be equipped with one horizontal pipe 302 for air blowing and cooling, or two pipes can be equipped to blow air from the top and bottom at the same time for cooling. A temperature sensing element can also be installed inside the cabinet 1 to detect the temperature. When the temperature is too high, the air blowing and cooling can be controlled to reduce energy consumption. The bottom of the mounting bracket 101 can be adapted to the air duct 3 according to the actual position and shape.
[0028] In this preferred embodiment, the vertical pipe 301 is provided, and one end of the horizontal pipe 302 is connected to the vertical pipe 301 and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 1.
[0029] With this configuration, the vertical pipe 301 will serve as the main branch to distribute the air to each horizontal pipe 302. After being delivered to the horizontal pipe 302, the air will not continue to flow but will only flow out from the air outlet 3021, which is more stable. The horizontal pipe 302 and the inner wall of the cabinet 1 can be connected by various conventional connection methods such as glue, snap-fit, and threaded connection to enhance stability.
[0030] In this preferred embodiment, the air duct 3 is provided with a secondary air duct 303, which is connected to the air duct 3. The secondary air duct 303 and the horizontal pipe 302 are respectively located at the front and rear ends of the mounting frame 101. The secondary air duct 303 is provided with a secondary air outlet 3031 facing the mounting frame 101 at each position of the mounting frame 101.
[0031] With this configuration, the secondary air outlet 3031 on the secondary air duct 303 can work in conjunction with the air outlet 3021 on the horizontal duct 302 to continue blowing air and dissipating heat from both ends of the appliance from two directions simultaneously, resulting in more even airflow and better heat dissipation for the appliance.
[0032] In this preferred embodiment, the secondary air duct 303 and the air guide duct 3 are located on the same side inside the cabinet 1.
[0033] With this configuration, when the secondary air duct 303 and the air guide duct 3 are located on the same side, the connecting pipe can be shorter, making installation more convenient.
[0034] In this preferred embodiment, the top of the secondary air duct 303 is connected to the top of the air guide duct 3.
[0035] With this configuration, the airflow from the top to the secondary duct 303 is smoother.
[0036] In this preferred embodiment, the secondary air duct 303 is vertically arranged and located inside the cabinet 1 on the side facing the cabinet door.
[0037] With this configuration, the vertical secondary air duct 303, located on the side of the cabinet door, will not interfere with the operator's work when the cabinet door is opened, and the horizontal duct 302 located inside will not affect the operator's work even if it is horizontally positioned.
[0038] In this preferred embodiment, the horizontal pipe 302 is provided with a downwardly inclined air inlet pipe 3022 at one end facing the vertical pipe 301.
[0039] With this configuration, the inclined air inlet duct 3022 makes it easier for airflow to be diverted to the horizontal duct 302.
[0040] In this preferred embodiment, the blowing component 2 is a blower.
[0041] With this configuration, the blower generates airflow faster and has a better heat dissipation effect.
