Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of generator set enclosure technology, and in particular to a modular enclosure and generator set that facilitates the installation of a muffler. Background Technology

[0002] Generator sets generate significant noise during operation, thus requiring silencers to reduce noise pollution. Existing silencers are typically fixed to specific locations within the enclosure using connectors, making installation and positioning cumbersome. Furthermore, when a silencer malfunctions and requires repair or replacement, multiple components on the enclosure must be removed, sometimes even necessitating disassembly of the enclosure structure, resulting in significant operational difficulties and impacting equipment maintenance efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a modular enclosure and generator set that facilitates the installation of mufflers. This would solve the technical problems of existing mufflers, which are generally fixed in a specific position inside the enclosure by connectors, making installation and positioning cumbersome. Furthermore, when the muffler malfunctions and needs to be repaired or replaced, multiple components on the enclosure must be removed, and the enclosure structure may even need to be disassembled, resulting in high operational difficulty and affecting the maintenance efficiency of the equipment.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this utility model provides a modular housing for easy installation of a muffler, comprising:

[0005] The upper enclosure includes two or more first enclosure modules and a muffler module. The two or more first enclosure modules are detachably connected, and the muffler module is detachably installed on one of the first enclosure modules.

[0006] Unlike existing technologies, the above-mentioned technical solution features a dedicated silencer module, which is pre-assembled, transported independently, and hoisted as a complete unit, achieving true "plug and play." Therefore, when installing the silencer, there is no need to modify the entire upper housing; the silencer module can simply be installed directly within the pre-designed first housing module. This eliminates the complex positioning and fixing steps of traditional installations, allowing ordinary workers to complete the task with standard tools, significantly reducing installation time. Furthermore, when the silencer needs maintenance or replacement, the silencer module can be directly removed from the first housing module without disassembling the entire upper housing. This simple and efficient operation avoids damage to other components of the housing and reduces equipment downtime for maintenance.

[0007] As one embodiment of this utility model, the muffler module includes a muffler housing and two mufflers installed inside the muffler housing. The top of the muffler housing is detachably connected to the top of one of the first housing modules.

[0008] Thus, the muffler housing serves as the load-bearing structure for the muffler, integrating the two mufflers into a single independent module, facilitating the overall installation and disassembly of the muffler.

[0009] As one embodiment of this utility model, a first mounting hole is provided around the top of the silencing housing, and a second mounting hole is provided on the top of a first housing module at the position corresponding to the first mounting hole, and the second mounting hole is connected to the first mounting hole.

[0010] Thus, the first and second mounting holes allow for quick and precise positioning of the muffler housing and the first housing module, preventing positional deviations during installation and ensuring the muffler's installation accuracy. Connecting the corresponding mounting holes with fasteners securely fixes the muffler housing to the top of the first housing module, preventing displacement due to vibration during operation and ensuring stable muffler operation. Furthermore, when disassembling the muffler module is necessary, simply remove the fasteners connecting the mounting holes to remove the muffler housing along with its internal components from the first housing module; the operation is simple and quick.

[0011] As one embodiment of this utility model, the modular housing that facilitates the installation of the muffler also includes a lower housing, which is located below the upper housing and is detachably connected to the upper housing.

[0012] The lower housing includes two or more sets of second housing modules, which can be detachably connected.

[0013] In this way, the modular design of the lower compartment facilitates transportation. It can also be combined with the modular design of the upper compartment, giving the entire compartment system flexible expandability and convenient transportability.

[0014] As one embodiment of this utility model, the modular housing that facilitates the installation of the muffler also includes a partition door, which is installed in the lower housing and divides the interior of the lower housing into two chambers.

[0015] In this way, the two chambers can be used to install different types of components, avoiding mutual interference between components, and facilitating the classification, management and maintenance of different components.

[0016] As one embodiment of this utility model, the upper housing also includes air inlet louvers and air outlet louvers, which are installed on the side of the upper housing.

[0017] In this way, the air intake louvers are used to introduce cool external air, while the exhaust louvers are used to expel hot air from the housing, creating air convection that effectively removes heat from the housing and provides a good heat dissipation environment for the silencer and other components. The spacing between the air intake and / or exhaust louvers can be adjusted, or the number of air intake and / or exhaust louvers can be increased, according to the air intake requirements of the generator set, to improve flexibility.

[0018] In one embodiment of this utility model, the size of the air inlet louver is the same as the size of the air outlet louver.

[0019] In this way, air inlet louvers and air outlet louvers of the same size are less likely to be confused, making their assembly simpler.

[0020] As one embodiment of this utility model, the upper box body also includes two or more lifting beams, and the two adjacent sets of first box body modules are connected by the lifting beams, and the lifting beams are provided with lifting holes.

[0021] In this way, connecting adjacent first-level housing modules via lifting beams enhances the overall structural rigidity of the upper housing, preventing loosening or deformation after modular assembly and ensuring the structural stability of the upper housing. The lifting holes can be directly used with cranes, forklifts, and other lifting equipment. When transporting the upper housing to the site or moving it, no additional lifting structure is needed; lifting can be performed directly through the lifting holes, avoiding damage to the first-level housing modules or muffler modules during the lifting process and improving lifting efficiency.

[0022] As one embodiment of this utility model, the upper housing also includes an upper maintenance ladder, which is installed on one of the hoisting beams.

[0023] In this way, the upper maintenance ladder is fixed to the hoisting beam. With the help of the stable structure of the hoisting beam, the safety of the staff when climbing is ensured and the convenience of maintenance operations is improved.

[0024] To achieve the above objectives, in a second aspect, the present invention also provides a generator set, comprising: a modular housing that facilitates the installation of a muffler, as provided by the inventors above.

[0025] Unlike existing technologies, the technical solution of this application features a modular housing that facilitates the installation of the muffler. This modular installation simplifies the installation process, eliminates the need to disassemble the housing during maintenance and replacement, reduces downtime, and lowers maintenance costs.

[0045] Existing silencers are generally fixed in a specific position inside the enclosure by connectors, which is troublesome to install and position. When the silencer malfunctions and needs to be repaired or replaced, multiple parts on the enclosure need to be removed, and the enclosure structure may even need to be disassembled, which is difficult to operate and affects the maintenance efficiency of the equipment.

[0046] In view of this, this application provides a modular housing 100 that facilitates the installation of a muffler, including an upper housing 1. The upper housing 1 includes two or more sets of first housing modules 11 and a muffler module 12. The two or more sets of first housing modules 11 are detachably connected, and the muffler module 12 is detachably installed on one of the first housing modules 11.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this application, this embodiment relates to a generator set, including a modular housing 100 that facilitates the installation of a muffler.

[0048] The generator set also includes a chassis, generator, and engine, etc. The generator and engine are mounted on the chassis, and a modular enclosure for blocking rainwater is installed outside the generator and engine, with the bottom connected to the chassis.

[0049] The technical solution of this application features a modular housing 100 that facilitates the installation of the muffler. The modular installation of the muffler 122 simplifies the installation process of the muffler 122. During maintenance and replacement, there is no need to disassemble the housing, reducing downtime and lowering maintenance costs.

[0050] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment also relates to a modular housing 100 that facilitates the installation of a muffler, including an upper housing 1. The upper housing 1 includes two or more sets of first housing modules 11 and a muffler module 12. The two or more sets of first housing modules 11 are detachably connected, and the muffler module 12 is detachably installed on one of the first housing modules 11.

[0051] The top and four sides of the upper housing 1 are equipped with first housing modules 11, wherein the muffler module 12 is detachably installed on the first housing module 11 set on the top, thereby the muffler module 12 is located inside the upper housing 1.

[0052] The aforementioned technical solution incorporates a dedicated silencer module 12, which is pre-assembled, transported independently, and hoisted as a complete module, achieving true "plug and play." Therefore, when installing the silencer 122, there is no need to modify the entire upper housing 1; the silencer module 12 can be directly installed within the pre-designated first housing module 11. This eliminates the complex positioning and fixing steps of traditional installations, allowing ordinary workers to complete the installation with standard tools, significantly reducing installation time. Furthermore, when the silencer 122 requires maintenance or replacement, the silencer module 12 can be directly removed from the first housing module 11 without disassembling the entire upper housing 1. This simple and efficient operation avoids damage to other components of the housing and reduces equipment downtime for maintenance.

[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the muffler module 12 includes a muffler housing 121 and two mufflers 122 installed inside the muffler housing 121. The top of the muffler housing 121 is detachably connected to the top of one of the first housing modules 11.

[0054] Thus, the muffler housing 121 serves as the supporting structure for the muffler 122, integrating the two mufflers 122 into a single independent module, facilitating the overall installation and disassembly of the muffler 122.

[0055] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, a first mounting hole is provided around the top of the silencer housing 121, and a second mounting hole is provided on the top of a first housing module 11 at the position corresponding to the first mounting hole, and the second mounting hole is connected to the first mounting hole.

[0056] Thus, the first and second mounting holes enable quick and precise positioning of the muffler housing 121 and the first housing module 11, avoiding positional deviations during installation and ensuring the installation accuracy of the muffler 122. Connecting the corresponding mounting holes with fasteners securely fixes the muffler housing 121 to the top of the first housing module 11, preventing displacement due to vibration during equipment operation and ensuring stable operation of the muffler 122. Furthermore, when disassembling the muffler module 12, simply remove the fasteners connecting the mounting holes to remove the muffler housing 121 along with the internal muffler 122 from the first housing module 11; the operation is simple and quick.

[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, the modular enclosure 100, which facilitates the installation of the muffler, also includes a lower enclosure 2, which is located below the upper enclosure 1 and is detachably connected to the upper enclosure 1; the lower enclosure 2 includes two or more sets of second enclosure modules 21, which are detachably connected.

[0058] Thus, the modular design of the lower box 2 facilitates transportation. It can also be combined with the modular design of the upper box 1, giving the entire box system flexible expandability and convenient transportability.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, the modular enclosure 100, which facilitates the installation of the muffler, also includes a partition door 22. The partition door 22 is installed inside the lower enclosure 2 and divides the interior of the lower enclosure 2 into two chambers 23.

[0060] Optionally, the partition door 22 can be detached and installed, and its installation position can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby changing the space size of the two chambers 23, adapting to the installation needs of different specifications of components, and improving the space adaptability of the lower box 2.

[0061] In this way, the two chambers 23 can be used to install different types of components, avoiding mutual interference between components, and facilitating the classification, management and maintenance of different components.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper housing 1 also includes an air inlet louver 13 and an air outlet louver 14, which are installed on the side of the upper housing 1.

[0063] Thus, the air intake louvers 13 are used to introduce external cold air, and the exhaust louvers 14 are used to exhaust hot air from the upper housing 1, forming air convection and effectively removing heat from the upper housing 1, providing a good heat dissipation environment for the silencer 122 and other components. The spacing between the air intake louvers 13 and / or the exhaust louvers 14 can be adjusted, or the number of air intake louvers 13 and / or exhaust louvers 14 can be increased, according to the air intake requirements of the generator set, to improve flexibility.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the dimensions of the air inlet louver 13 are the same as those of the air outlet louver 14.

[0065] In this way, the air inlet louvers 13 and air outlet louvers 14 of the same size are less likely to cause confusion, making their assembly simpler.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper box body 1 also includes two or more lifting beams 15. The two adjacent sets of first box body modules 11 are connected by the lifting beams 15, and the lifting beams 15 are provided with lifting holes.

[0067] Thus, connecting adjacent first box modules 11 via lifting beams 15 enhances the overall structural rigidity of the upper box 1, preventing loosening or deformation after modular assembly and ensuring the structural stability of the upper box 1. The lifting holes can be directly used with cranes, forklifts, and other lifting equipment. When transporting the upper box 1 to the site or when it needs to be moved, no additional lifting structure is required; lifting can be performed directly through the lifting holes, avoiding damage to the first box module 11 or the muffler module 12 during the lifting process and improving lifting efficiency.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper housing 1 also includes an upper maintenance ladder 16, which is installed on one of the hoisting beams 15.

[0069] Optionally, the lower housing 2 is provided with a lower maintenance ladder at the corresponding position of the upper maintenance ladder 16, and workers can climb up to the upper maintenance ladder 16 via the lower maintenance ladder.

[0070] In this way, the upper maintenance ladder 16 is fixed on the hoisting beam 15. With the help of the stable structure of the hoisting beam 15, the safety of the staff when climbing is ensured and the convenience of maintenance operations is improved.

[0071] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection for this utility model.
