Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of protective heat dissipation for outdoor equipment, and specifically relates to a heat dissipation shell structure for surveying equipment. Background Technology
[0002] The heat dissipation housing structure of surveying equipment is a protective component designed to solve the problem of overheating of internal electronic components when high-precision surveying instruments are working continuously. It needs to achieve efficient heat dissipation in a compact space, while adapting to harsh outdoor environmental conditions (such as extreme temperatures, dust, rain, etc.). Thermal management solutions such as metal thermal conductivity, forced air cooling, or phase change materials are usually adopted, and the design needs to be coordinated with the equipment's dustproof and waterproof requirements, electromagnetic compatibility, etc.
[0003] Currently, there are structural dead spots such as continuous welds, the bottom of screw holes, or grooves in the sealing ring within the shell structure. Due to the presence of tiny gaps or low-lying structures in these areas, when the equipment is operating in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, the alternating hot and cold temperatures can cause water vapor to condense in these hidden corners. The drainage design of the shell itself is insufficient to cover all these details. Long-term retention of condensate can not only corrode metal connectors (such as screw threads and locating pins), but may also seep into the joint between the sealing ring and the shell, gradually reducing the protection level and eventually causing progressive failures such as localized corrosion or electrical short circuits. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat dissipation housing structure for surveying equipment, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A heat dissipation housing structure for a surveying equipment, comprising,
[0007] The support mechanism includes a housing and a slot formed on the top of the housing;
[0008] The guiding mechanism includes an inverted conical water collection tray that is movably engaged in the inner cavity of the slot, a placement component disposed at the bottom of the inverted conical water collection tray, and a hydrophobic component disposed in the inner cavity of the placement component.
[0009] And a support adjustment mechanism used in conjunction with the load-bearing mechanism.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guiding mechanism further includes a guiding water groove formed in the inner cavity of the inverted conical water collecting pan, and a parallel handle fixedly installed on the top of the inverted conical water collecting pan.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the placement component includes a vertical plate fixedly installed at the bottom of the inverted conical water collection tray and communicating with the guide water trough, and a honeycomb-shaped moisture-absorbing groove formed on the inner wall of the vertical plate.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the placement assembly further includes a magnetic strip fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the vertical plate, and a limiting guide rail formed in the inner cavity of the vertical plate.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the hydrophobic component includes a guide rod movably engaged in the inner cavity of the vertical plate, a plate body fixedly installed on the top of the guide rod, and a hydrophobic textured groove plate movably engaged in the groove of the plate body.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the hydrophobic component further includes a limiting plate fixedly installed on the outside of the guide rod, and a protrusion disposed on the outside of the limiting plate for hand-held removal of the overall hydrophobic structure.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support adjustment mechanism includes a fixed base, a universal adjustment base fixedly installed on the top of the fixed base, a connecting rod hinged to the inner cavity of the universal adjustment base, and a support leg hinged to the bottom of the fixed base, the top of the connecting rod being connected to the outer shell.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the supporting mechanism further includes a guide groove formed in the inner cavity of the outer shell, and an inclined surface disposed in the inner cavity of the card slot.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the continuous curved surface of the inverted conical water collection tray and the interference fit of the outer shell groove replace the traditional welding seam and screw fixation, eliminating water accumulation dead corners. The honeycomb-shaped moisture absorption groove actively absorbs residual moisture in low-lying areas such as the sealing ring groove using capillary action. The gradient surface of the hydrophobic textured groove plate can instantly guide water droplets on the surface of the metal connector to the drainage channel. Combined with the dynamic leveling function of the universal adjustment seat, it ensures that the optimal drainage effect can be maintained under any working condition. It blocks the stagnation path of condensate in the dead corners of the structure from the source, effectively prevents progressive failures caused by corrosive water accumulation, and significantly improves the reliability of the equipment in high temperature and high humidity environments.

[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0028] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0029] Example
[0030] Reference Figures 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a heat dissipation housing structure for a surveying equipment, comprising:
[0031] The support mechanism 100 includes a housing 110 and a slot 120 formed on the top of the housing 110;
[0032] The guiding mechanism 200 includes an inverted conical water collection plate 210 that is movably locked in the inner cavity of the slot 120, a placement component 220 disposed at the bottom of the inverted conical water collection plate 210, and a water-draining component 230 disposed in the inner cavity of the placement component 220.
[0033] And, a support adjustment mechanism 300 used in conjunction with the load-bearing mechanism 100.
[0034] The modular combination structure of the bearing mechanism 100 and the guiding mechanism 200 enables the active collection and discharge of condensate inside the shell 110. The slot 120 on the top of the shell 110 provides a stable installation positioning reference for the inverted conical water collection tray 210, ensuring its removability and maintainability. The introduction of the support adjustment mechanism 300 enables the shell 110 to adapt to the stable placement requirements under different terrain conditions. The overall structure maintains lightweight while taking into account environmental adaptability.
[0035] Specifically, the guiding mechanism 200 also includes a guiding water trough 240 formed in the inner cavity of the inverted conical water collection tray 210, and a parallel handle 250 fixedly installed on the top of the inverted conical water collection tray 210.
[0036] Among them, the inverted conical groove design of the guide water tank 240 can accelerate the directional flow of condensate and prevent droplets from remaining on the inner wall of the water collection tray. The parallel handle 250 adopts a double-sided symmetrical layout, which serves as both a force application point for lifting the water collection tray and a limiting structure to prevent accidental contact, thus preventing the inverted conical water collection tray 210 from accidentally falling off when the equipment is tilted.
[0037] Furthermore, the placement component 220 includes a vertical plate 221 fixedly installed at the bottom of the inverted conical water collection tray 210 and communicating with the guide water trough 240, and a honeycomb-shaped moisture-absorbing groove 222 opened on the inner wall of the vertical plate 221. The placement component 220 also includes a magnetic strip 223 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the vertical plate 221, and a limiting guide rail 224 opened in the inner cavity of the vertical plate 221.
[0038] The vertical plate 221 connects the guide water tank 240 and the honeycomb moisture-absorbing tank 222 through a vertical through-cavity, forming a stepped drainage path. The microporous array of the honeycomb structure increases the surface area for moisture adsorption, which can temporarily store residual condensate that cannot be discharged in time, and slowly evaporate through the capillary action of the material itself, effectively reducing the local humidity around the electronic components. The magnetic strip 223 and the limiting guide rail 224 form a dual fixing mechanism. The former ensures the positional stability of the hydrophobic component 230 in the vibration environment through magnetic adsorption, while the latter constrains the horizontal displacement of the component through the dovetail groove guide rail, so that the disassembly and assembly operations during maintenance have clear guidance and avoid sealing failure caused by misaligned installation.
[0039] Preferably, the hydrophobic component 230 includes a guide rod 231 movably engaged in the inner cavity of the vertical plate 221, a plate 232 fixedly installed on the top of the guide rod 231, and a hydrophobic textured groove plate 233 movably engaged in the groove of the plate 232. The hydrophobic component 230 also includes a limiting plate 234 fixedly installed on the outside of the guide rod 231, and a protrusion 235 provided on the outside of the limiting plate 234 for hand-held removal of the overall hydrophobic structure.
[0040] The sliding fit structure between the guide rod 231 and the plate 232 allows the hydrophobic textured groove plate 233 to be height-adjusted to meet the installation space requirements of different models of equipment. The biomimetic hydrophobic texture on the surface of the hydrophobic textured groove plate 233 can disrupt the surface tension of the water film, causing water droplets to roll quickly to the water collection area. Its modular design makes it easy to replace worn parts individually.
[0041] Furthermore, the support adjustment mechanism 300 includes a fixed base 310, a universal adjustment base 320 fixedly installed on the top of the fixed base 310, a connecting rod 330 hinged to the inner cavity of the universal adjustment base 320, and a support leg 340 hinged to the bottom of the fixed base 310. The top of the connecting rod 330 is connected to the outer shell 110.
[0042] The combination of the universal adjustment seat 320 and the multi-degree-of-freedom connecting rod 330 enables the outer shell 110 to achieve rapid posture leveling, which is especially suitable for rugged terrain in the field. The support leg 340 adopts a folding design, and after unfolding, the rubber foot pads enhance the ground adhesion. The overall mechanism has both portability and anti-tipping ability.
[0043] Furthermore, the support mechanism 100 also includes a guide groove 130 formed in the inner cavity of the housing 110, and an inclined surface 140 provided in the inner cavity of the slot 120.
[0044] The design of the guide channel 130 and the inclined surface 140 can quickly drain water outwards and prevent accumulation.
[0045] When the device is in use, the condensate generated inside the outer casing 110 first flows along the guide groove 130 and the inclined surface 140 to the inverted conical water collection tray 210, and then accelerates the directional flow through the guide water groove 240 in its inner cavity. After the water flows into the placement component 220, part of it is temporarily absorbed and stored by the honeycomb-shaped moisture absorption groove 222 and slowly evaporates, while the rest is quickly guided out through the biomimetic surface of the hydrophobic textured groove plate 233. Finally, the directional drainage channel is formed through the guide groove 130 and the inclined surface 140 to ensure that the condensate is discharged quickly.
[0046] In summary, the guiding mechanism 200 adopts a collaborative design of an inverted conical water collection tray 210 and a honeycomb-shaped moisture absorption groove 222, which not only achieves active collection of condensate but also promotes the evaporation of residual moisture through capillary action. The adjustable structure and biomimetic texture of the hydrophobic component 230 further optimize the drainage efficiency. The outer shell 110 of the supporting mechanism 100, combined with the guiding groove 130 and the inclined surface 140, forms a directional drainage channel to ensure that condensate is discharged quickly.
