Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to a rotary electrical box and an air-cooled cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] An air-cooled cabinet is an air conditioning unit placed in large public spaces, such as factories, workshops, warehouses, and farms. The indoor unit of an air-cooled cabinet is similar in size to a wardrobe and requires a separate space near a corner to ensure it doesn't occupy other work areas and can operate normally.
[0003] A typical air-cooled cabinet contains multiple components, including a fan, evaporator, and electrical box. The electrical box is usually located close to the evaporator, which makes it inconvenient to connect to other electrical components and also poses a risk of water ingress. Furthermore, air-cooled cabinets are large and occupy a significant amount of space. Since most electrical boxes are fixed in place, their fixed location occupies internal space during installation or maintenance, limiting operating space and making them inconvenient to use.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. The embodiments described in this application are merely some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the spirit of this utility model, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0028] like Figures 1-7 As shown in Embodiment 1 of this utility model, a rotary electrical box is disclosed. The electrical box is installed inside a cabinet 2. The cabinet 2 has side plates 6 on its left and right sides. The electrical box includes a shell 1, an electrical box bushing 3, and a rotating shaft 5. Each vertical side of the shell 1 has two electrical box bushings 3, one upper and one lower. The two ends of the rotating shaft 5 pass through the electrical box bushings 3 and one side plate 6 and are screwed together, so that the shell 1 can be screwed in and out of the cabinet 2 with the rotating shaft 5 as the axis. This allows the electrical box to rotate with the rotating shaft 5 as the axis, and thus, depending on the maintenance and installation situation, the electrical box can be screwed in or out of the cabinet 2, improving the operating space and making it more convenient to use.
[0029] The housing 1 is screwed to one side by a rotating shaft 5 and a side plate 6, and is also fixed to the side plate 6 by fixing screws, so that the electrical box can be fixed inside the cabinet 2 when it does not need to be rotated, thus preventing it from rotating during operation or transportation.
[0030] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the rotating shaft 5 includes a fixing part 51 and a connecting part 52. The fixing part 51 has connecting parts 52 at both ends. The radius of the connecting part 52 is smaller than the radius of the fixing part 51 so that a shoulder 53 is formed at the connection between the two.
[0031] like Figure 3As shown, the side panel 6 is provided with two cabinet bushings 4 at the end facing the inside of the cabinet 2.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the connecting part 52 passes through the electrical box bushing 3 and the cabinet bushing 4 in sequence. The electrical box bushing 3 and the shoulder 53 abut against each other, so that the cabinet bushing 4 and the shoulder 53 limit and fix the electrical box bushing 3.
[0033] It is understandable that the distance between the two cabinet bushings 4 is greater than the distance between the two electrical box bushings 3, so that the electrical box bushing 3 is located inside the two cabinet bushings 4. In this way, the electrical box bushing 3 can be limited and fixed by the cabinet bushings 4 and the shoulder 53, preventing the electrical box from changing position and detaching from the cabinet 2 when rotating, thus improving rotational stability.
[0034] Embodiment 2 of this utility model discloses an air-cooled cabinet, including: a cabinet body 2, a fan component 7, an evaporator 8, and a partition 9, and also includes the aforementioned rotary electrical box, wherein:
[0035] The cabinet 2 is equipped with a partition 9. The upper side of the partition 9 is equipped with a fan component 7 and the rotary electrical box, and the lower side is equipped with an evaporator 8. By separating the fan component 7, the electrical box, and the evaporator 8, and placing the electrical box closer to the fan component 7 and further away from the evaporator 8, it is convenient to connect and route the motor and other electrical components in the fan component 7 to the electrical box, and at the same time, it reduces the risk of water entering the electrical box due to the evaporator 8.
[0036] The cabinet 2 is equipped with removable covers on the front and rear sides.
[0037] Preferably, but not limitingly, the rotation angle of the electrical box described in this invention can be from 0° to 180°.
[0038] Preferably, but not limitingly, the air-cooled cabinet of this invention can be any other air conditioning structure having a fan component 7 and an evaporator 8.
[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Remove any cover plate on the cabinet 2, remove the fixing screws on the shell 1, rotate the shell 1 of the electrical box so that the shell 1 rotates around the rotation axis 5, so that the electrical box is screwed out of the cabinet 2 as a whole, which improves the operating space and leaves space for the installation and maintenance of other components, making it more convenient to use. After installation and maintenance, rotate the shell 1 so that the electrical box is screwed back into the cabinet 2 as a whole, install the fixing screws, and then install the cover plate.
[0040] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that, compared with the prior art,
[0041] This utility model allows the electrical box to rotate around a pivot axis, enabling the entire electrical box to be screwed out or screwed into the cabinet depending on the maintenance and installation situation. This significantly increases the operating space, leaving room for the installation and maintenance of other components, saving space, making it more convenient to use, and facilitating direct maintenance of the electrical box.
[0042] The cabinet of this utility model is equipped with a partition, which separates the fan, electrical box and evaporator, so that the electrical box is close to the fan and far away from the evaporator. On the one hand, it can facilitate the connection and wiring of the motor and other electrical components in the fan to the electrical box, and on the other hand, it reduces the risk of water entering the electrical box due to the evaporator.
[0043] The rotating shaft of this utility model is connected by the electrical box bushing and the cabinet bushing, so that the electrical box bushing abuts against the shaft shoulder, and then the cabinet bushing and shaft shoulder limit and fix the electrical box, preventing the electrical box from changing position and detaching from the cabinet when rotating, thus improving the rotational stability of the electrical box.
[0044] The cabinet of this utility model is equipped with detachable covers at the front and rear. When rotating the electrical box, the electrical box can be rotated into or out of the cabinet by removing the covers.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
