Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power equipment technology, and in particular to an outdoor power cabinet with cloud monitoring based on the Internet of Things. Background Technology
[0002] The IoT-based cloud-monitored outdoor power cabinet is an intelligent power device that combines IoT technology and cloud computing, designed to enable remote monitoring and management of outdoor power cabinets. This system integrates sensors, communication modules, and controllers within the power cabinet to collect real-time operational data such as temperature, humidity, current, and voltage, and transmits this data to a cloud platform via IoT technology. Users can remotely monitor the power cabinet's operating status through a cloud interface or mobile devices, promptly identifying anomalies and performing maintenance or fault warnings. This intelligent design improves the operational efficiency and safety of power cabinets and is widely used in power, communication, and municipal infrastructure fields, providing crucial support for smart city construction.
[0003] Existing outdoor power distribution cabinets typically have ventilation openings on both sides of the cabinet for heat dissipation, ensuring normal operation of the equipment in high-temperature environments. However, this design has significant drawbacks in rainy weather. Since the ventilation openings are directly exposed to the external environment, rainwater can easily enter the cabinet through them, causing moisture damage to the electrical components and even leading to short circuits. This not only affects the stable operation of the power distribution cabinet but may also cause equipment damage or power system failures, increasing maintenance costs and safety hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a solution that can effectively prevent rainwater intrusion while dissipating heat, in order to improve the reliability and lifespan of outdoor power distribution cabinets. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, the abstract and the title of this utility model. Such simplifications or omissions shall not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the above and / or prior art, the present invention is proposed.
[0006] Therefore, this utility model aims to solve the problem of short circuits caused by rainwater intrusion into outdoor power cabinets during rainy days.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an outdoor power cabinet for cloud monitoring based on the Internet of Things, including a cabinet body, an installation cavity is opened inside the cabinet body, an installation frame is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the installation cavity, ventilation openings are symmetrically opened on the left and right sides of the installation cavity, a sliding groove is opened inside the two sets of ventilation openings, a baffle is slidably connected inside the two sets of sliding grooves, a lifting mechanism is drivenly connected to the top of the two baffles, and a heat dissipation component is provided inside the installation frame.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the IoT-based cloud monitoring outdoor power cabinet of this utility model, the baffle has a through hole inside, and the left and right sides of the through hole are connected to the heat dissipation channel of the ventilation opening.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the IoT-based cloud monitoring outdoor power cabinet of this utility model, the lifting mechanism includes a rain collection plate disposed directly above the outside of the cabinet body. The top of the rain collection plate is provided with a rain collection groove. The bottom of the rain collection plate is fixedly connected to the outer top wall of the cabinet body through a telescopic component. A sealing frame is provided at the bottom of the rain collection plate and outside the telescopic component. The bottom end of the sealing frame extends into the groove and is fixedly connected to the top wall of the two baffles.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the IoT-based cloud monitoring outdoor power cabinet of this utility model, the heat dissipation component includes a serpentine groove opened inside the mounting frame, the top of the serpentine groove is connected to a water inlet pipe, the bottom of the serpentine groove is connected to a drain pipe, and the bottom of the drain pipe penetrates the inner wall of the cabinet and extends to its exterior.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the IoT-based cloud monitoring outdoor power cabinet of this utility model, the rear end of the rainwater collection trough is provided with a drainage hole, and the output end of the drainage hole is connected to the input end of the water inlet pipe through a telescopic flexible hose.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the IoT-based cloud monitoring outdoor power cabinet of this utility model, the telescopic component includes a fixed cylinder fixedly installed on the top wall of the cabinet body, a telescopic cylinder slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder, and the top end of the telescopic cylinder being fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the rain collection plate. The fixed cylinder and the telescopic cylinder are provided with telescopic springs inside, and the top end of the telescopic springs is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the rain collection plate, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the top wall of the cabinet body.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model achieves effective rain protection for outdoor power cabinets during rainy weather through the synergistic action of the rain collection plate, rain collection trough, telescopic component, sealing frame, and baffle. When rainwater falls into the rain collection trough and gradually accumulates, its weight triggers the compression of the telescopic spring in the telescopic component, causing the rain collection plate to press down. This, along with the sealing frame, moves the baffle downwards within the chute, causing the through holes of the baffle to intersect with the ventilation openings. The solid part of the baffle effectively blocks the ventilation openings, preventing rainwater from entering the cabinet and protecting electrical components from moisture and short-circuit risks. Simultaneously, the drainage hole at the rear end of the rain collection trough is designed with a small diameter, ensuring that rainwater first fills the rain collection trough to trigger the mechanism. Excess rainwater flows into the serpentine groove of the heat dissipation component through the telescopic hose, achieving rainwater recycling, saving resources and aiding in heat dissipation. This intelligent dynamic rainproof structure significantly improves the protective performance and operational reliability of the power cabinet under severe weather conditions.

[0024] Example
[0025] Reference Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides an IoT-based cloud monitoring outdoor power cabinet, which aims to solve the problem of rainwater entering the ventilation openings during rainy days, causing electrical components to become damp and short-circuited, while achieving efficient heat dissipation and remote monitoring functions.
[0026] Specifically, the power cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, which is a robust metal structure with good corrosion resistance and weathering resistance. An installation cavity 2 is provided inside the cabinet body to house electrical equipment and related components. A mounting bracket 3, made of high-strength material, is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the installation cavity 2. This bracket provides stable support for the internal electrical components and a mounting base for the heat dissipation components, ensuring the stability of the equipment operation.
[0027] The mounting cavity 2 has symmetrical ventilation openings 4 on both sides. These two sets of ventilation openings 4 are designed as elongated structures to allow airflow, reducing the internal temperature and maintaining the normal operating temperature of the electrical components. Each set of ventilation openings 4 has a sliding groove 401 inside. The sliding groove 401 is a precision-machined slide rail structure, ensuring smooth movement of the sliding parts and reducing friction loss. Each set of sliding grooves 401 has a slidably connected baffle 5 inside. The baffle 5 is made of high-strength waterproof material, effectively preventing external rainwater intrusion. Its sliding design allows for dynamic adjustment of the opening and closing of the ventilation openings. The top of each baffle 5 is connected to a lifting mechanism 6, which automatically raises and lowers the baffle 5 through mechanical linkage, intelligently responding to changes in external weather. The mounting frame 3 has a heat dissipation component 7 inside. The heat dissipation component 7 efficiently dissipates heat from the cabinet through liquid circulation, significantly improving heat dissipation efficiency and extending the service life of the electrical components.
[0028] Furthermore, the baffle 5 has a through hole 501 inside. The through hole 501 is designed as a pore structure that matches the size of the heat dissipation channel of the vent 4. Both the left and right sides of the through hole 501 are connected to the heat dissipation channel of the vent 4, ensuring that the air can circulate smoothly when it is not raining, promoting the dissipation of heat inside the cabinet. At the same time, the precise design of the through hole 501 avoids unnecessary air turbulence and optimizes the ventilation effect.
[0029] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 6 includes a rain collection plate 601 positioned directly above the exterior of the cabinet 1. The rain collection plate 601 is a large rectangular structure with a waterproof coating to effectively collect rainwater and prevent overflow. Its top has a deep groove 601a for quickly collecting rainwater and triggering subsequent mechanism actions based on weight changes. The bottom of the rain collection plate 601 is fixedly connected to the outer top wall of the cabinet 1 via a telescopic component 602. The telescopic component 602 provides elastic support and dynamic adjustment to ensure stable operation of the rain collection plate 601 under different weather conditions. A sealing frame 603 is located at the bottom of the rain collection plate 601, outside the telescopic component 602. The sealing frame 603 is made of a high-sealing material, and its bottom extends into the slide groove 401, where it is fixedly connected to the top walls of the two baffles 5, forming a tight transmission structure. This ensures that the baffles 5 move synchronously with the lifting of the rain collection plate 601, while preventing rainwater from seeping into the cabinet through the slide groove 401.
[0030] Furthermore, the heat dissipation component 7 includes a serpentine channel 701 formed inside the mounting bracket 3. The serpentine channel 701 is a highly efficient heat-conducting pipe structure that increases the contact area between the liquid and the mounting bracket 3, thereby improving heat transfer efficiency. A water inlet pipe 702 is connected to the top of the serpentine channel 701, which introduces the cooling liquid into the serpentine channel 701. A drain pipe 703 is connected to the bottom of the channel, with its bottom end penetrating the inner wall of the cabinet 1 and extending to its exterior to drain the liquid that has absorbed heat, ensuring the continuous heat dissipation process. A drain hole 601b is provided at the rear end of the rain collection trough 601a. The drain hole 601b has a small diameter, designed to allow only a small amount of liquid to flow out slowly, ensuring that rainwater can first fill the rain collection trough 601a during rain. Its drainage volume is far less than the amount collected by the rain collection plate 601 during light rain, thus ensuring that the rain collection trough 601a can quickly accumulate enough rainwater to trigger the lifting mechanism 6. The output end of the drain hole 601b is connected to the input end of the water inlet pipe 702 through the telescopic hose 604. The telescopic hose 604 is made of flexible and pressure-resistant material, which can adapt to the lifting and lowering movement of the rain collection plate 601, ensuring that the liquid is stably transmitted to the heat dissipation component 7, and realizing the recycling of rainwater.
[0031] Preferably, the telescopic component 602 includes a fixed cylinder 602a fixedly installed on the outer top wall of the cabinet 1. The fixed cylinder 602a is a sturdy metal cylinder that provides a stable support frame. A telescopic cylinder 602b is slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder 602a. The telescopic cylinder 602b and the fixed cylinder 602a are precisely matched to ensure smooth sliding without deviation. The top end of the telescopic cylinder 602b is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the rain collection plate 601 to achieve direct force transmission. A telescopic spring 602c is provided inside the fixed cylinder 602a and the telescopic cylinder 602b. The telescopic spring 602c is made of a highly elastic material. Its top end is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the rain collection plate 601, and its bottom end is fixedly connected to the outer top wall of the cabinet 1. It provides sufficient rebound force to support the rain collection plate 601 in its initial position when there is no rain, while allowing compression under the weight of rainwater to realize the mechanism's action.
[0032] When rainwater is collected in the rain collection trough 601a, its weight is greater than the elastic force of the telescopic spring 602c, causing the telescopic spring 602c to press down. The rain collection plate 601 moves the baffle 5 downward through the sealing frame 603. The through hole 501 in the baffle 5 intersects with the vent 4. The solid part of the baffle 5 blocks the vent 4, effectively preventing rainwater from entering the cabinet and maintaining the airtightness of the cabinet, protecting the internal electrical components from moisture. When there is no rain or light rain, the rainwater in the rain collection trough 601a is insufficient to overcome the elastic force of the telescopic spring 602c. The baffle 5 remains in its initial position, and the through hole 501 is aligned with the vent 4, ensuring normal ventilation and heat dissipation.
