[0026] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes an outdoor rainproof cap structure for a power distribution cabinet, including a distribution cabinet body 1, a rainproof cap assembly 2 for rain protection installed on the top of the distribution cabinet body 1, and a rainproof cap assembly 2 with a vibration prevention component 3 for preventing water and snow accumulation.

[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rain cap assembly 2 includes a top cover plate 201 installed on the top of the distribution cabinet body 1 for rain protection. The top cover plate 201 has a triangular cross-sectional shape to prevent water accumulation. Two rows of connecting columns 202 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the top cover plate 201, and mounting plates 203 are fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two rows of connecting columns 202. The mounting plates 203 are fixedly connected to the distribution cabinet body 1 by rivets. Side sealing plates 204 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top cover plate 201 perpendicular to the mounting plates 203. The bottom of the side sealing plates 204 fits tightly against the top of the distribution cabinet body 1. When in use, the triangular design of the top cover plate 201 can effectively prevent water and snow accumulation. At the same time, the two mounting plates 203 make it easy to install the top cover plate 201.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the vibration assembly 3 includes a motor base 301 fixedly installed at the bottom of the top cover plate 201. A servo motor 302 is mounted on the motor base 301 and is electrically connected to an external power supply. A positioning plate 303 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top cover plate 201. A first gear 304 is rotatably mounted on the positioning plate 303 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 302. Second gears 305 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the positioning plate 303, and the second gears 305 mesh with the first gear 304. The second gear 305 is located away from the positioning plate 303. A rotary knob 306 is mounted on the side, and a connecting rod 307 is fixedly mounted on the rotary knob 306. Two sliding chambers 308 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the top cover plate 201. A striking rod 309 is slidably mounted inside the sliding chamber 308. The lower end of the striking rod 309 is hinged to the connecting rod 307. When the motor is started, the first gear 304 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the two second gears 305 to rotate. Through the connecting rod 307, the striking rod 309 is driven to slide back and forth inside the sliding chamber 308 and strike the top cover plate 201. The vibration can prevent water and snow from accumulating on the top cover plate 201.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the heat dissipation holes 5 are divided into two rows and are respectively opened on the top and bottom sides of the hollow heat dissipation strip 4. The two rows of heat dissipation holes 5 are staggered. The staggered heat dissipation holes 5 prevent insects and other small animals from entering the power distribution cabinet and avoid potential hazards.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, drip edges 6 are fixedly installed on both ends of the top cover plate 201 near the two hollow heat dissipation strips 4. The drip edges 6 are made of stainless steel. The design of the drip edges 6 can guide rainwater to drip down quickly without spreading along the cabinet.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, a sealing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hollow heat dissipation strip 4. The sealing plate 7 is tightly fitted to the main body 1 of the power distribution cabinet. The sealing plate 7 can improve the installation effect of the top cover 201 and improve the sealing performance.

[0035] Specifically, the outdoor rainproof cap structure of this power distribution cabinet features: a triangular top cover 201 that effectively prevents water and snow accumulation; two mounting plates 203 facilitate the installation of the top cover 201; hollow heat dissipation strips 4 provide ventilation for the cabinet body 1; staggered ventilation holes 5 prevent insects and other small animals from entering the cabinet, avoiding potential hazards; and a drip edge 6 guides rainwater to drip quickly without spreading along the cabinet. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The motor is started, which drives the first gear 304 to rotate, which in turn drives the two second gears 305 to rotate. Through the connecting rod 307, the striking rod 309 slides back and forth inside the sliding chamber 308 and strikes the top cover plate 201. The vibration is transmitted to prevent water and snow from accumulating on the top cover plate 201. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 ).
