Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor electrical equipment protection technology, and more specifically, to an outdoor waterproof electrical device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of sheet metal technology for outdoor electrical equipment cabinets such as industrial and commercial energy storage cabinets and charging piles, the requirements for waterproofing of the doors of these devices are constantly increasing with their widespread use. Currently, the doors of all these devices generally use top and bottom locks with locking rods, combined with sealing strips on the upper edge of the cabinet as a waterproofing solution. However, due to limitations in sheet metal production processes, tolerances, actual assembly processes, sheet metal welding technology, deformation, and other factors, the actual produced cabinets and doors differ significantly from the actual designs. This leads to widespread waterproofing failures, resulting in failure to meet the required waterproofing requirements. According to statistics, the point of waterproofing failure for all these devices currently occurs on the side of the cabinet door where the lock assembly is installed (due to sheet metal processes, deformation, tolerances, etc.) where water leakage occurs.

[0003] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an outdoor waterproof electrical device to solve the problem of poor waterproof performance of electrical equipment cabinets used outdoors in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, an outdoor waterproof electrical device is provided, comprising: a housing having at least one opening for receiving space, wherein the electrical device is disposed within the receiving space; a door panel having at least one side connected to the housing, the door panel having a blocked state for blocking the opening, and a circumvented state for avoiding the opening; and a sealing member disposed on at least one of the door panel and the housing, the sealing member extending circumferentially along the opening; wherein at least one of the housing and the door panel is provided with a stop member, and when the door panel is in the blocked state, at least a portion of the stop member extends along the height direction of the opening, the stop member being located outside the sealing member.

[0006] Furthermore, at least one of the housing and the door panel is provided with a flange structure, which extends circumferentially along the opening.

[0007] Furthermore, the stop is connected to the flange structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the seal is connected to the flange structure, with the seal located on one side of the flange structure and the stop located on the other side of the flange structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the seal is positioned at a distance from the flange structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the seal and the stop are positioned at a distance along the radial direction of the opening.

[0011] Furthermore, at least a portion of the seal is arranged parallel to the extension direction of the stop.

[0012] Furthermore, the side of the stop facing outward forms a drainage channel with the housing and door panel, which is used to guide rainwater to flow along the extension direction of the stop.

[0013] Furthermore, the stop and the flange structure are integrally formed.

[0014] Furthermore, the stop is welded to the flange structure.

[0015] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, a stopper is provided along the height direction of the opening on the housing or door panel. The stopper can block water from the side of the electrical equipment, so that only a small amount of rainwater can pass through the stopper to the seal, which reduces the waterproof pressure on the seal and prevents rainwater from directly hitting the seal, thereby enhancing the waterproof effect.

[0033] Combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of this application, an outdoor waterproof electrical device is provided.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outdoor waterproof electrical equipment includes a housing 10, a door panel 20, and a seal 40. The housing 10 has a receiving space 100 with at least one opening 101, and the receiving space 100 is provided with electrical equipment 50. At least one side of the door panel 20 is connected to the housing 10. The door panel 20 has a blocked state that blocks the opening 101 and a circumventing state that avoids the opening 101. The seal 40 is disposed on at least one of the door panel 20 and the housing 10, and the seal 40 extends circumferentially along the opening 101. At least one of the housing 10 and the door panel 20 is provided with a stop 30. When the door panel 20 is in the blocked state, at least a portion of the stop 30 extends along the height direction of the opening 101, and the stop 30 is located outside the seal 40.

[0035] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, by providing a stop member 30 on the housing 10 or door panel 20 along the height direction of the opening 101, the stop member 30 can block water from the side of the electrical equipment, thereby allowing only a small amount of rainwater to pass through the stop member 30 to the seal member 40, reducing the waterproof pressure on the seal member 40, and preventing rainwater from directly hitting the seal member 40, thereby enhancing the waterproof effect.

[0036] It should be noted that some of the stop members 30 extend along the height direction of the opening 101, while other stop members 30 can be set on the top side of the opening 101, effectively blocking rainwater from the top and sides to prevent a large amount of rainwater from entering the outdoor waterproof electrical equipment from the top and sides and affecting the normal operation of the electrical equipment 50 in the housing space 100, thereby enhancing the waterproof rating.

[0037] Those skilled in the art should understand that the application scenarios of the outdoor waterproof electrical equipment in this embodiment include, but are not limited to, industrial and commercial outdoor energy storage cabinets, charging piles, and other occasions where electrical equipment 50 needs to be kept dry in the outdoor environment. When assembling the outdoor waterproof electrical equipment, sealing components 40 and stop components 30 are respectively set to form a double-layer waterproof structure.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6As shown, at least one of the housing 10 and the door panel 20 is provided with a flange structure 200, which extends circumferentially along the opening 101. The flange structure 200 increases the contact area between the door panel 20 and the housing 10 when the door panel 20 is in a sealed state, thereby improving the sealing performance and ensuring good waterproofing even when there are small gaps between the door panel 20 and the housing 10.

[0039] It should be noted that the flange structure 200 can provide a platform for installing the seal 40 or the stop 30, ensuring that even in severe weather conditions, such as strong winds or heavy rain, the door panel 20 can form a tight seal with the housing 10 when closed, preventing moisture from entering the interior.

[0040] In one embodiment of this application, the stop 30 is connected to the flange structure 200. The connection between the stop 30 and the flange structure 200 forms a continuous waterproof barrier. The stop 30 effectively intercepts and guides rainwater, while the flange structure 200 increases the stability and sealing of the stop 30. Simultaneously, the stop 30 helps the door panel 20 to be precisely positioned when closed, preventing the door panel 20 from being over-closed or deviating from its normal trajectory during opening. It also serves as a guide when the door panel 20 is closed, ensuring that the seal 40 between the door panel 20 and the housing 10 is evenly pressurized, thereby improving sealing performance.

[0041] In another embodiment of this application, the sealing element 40 is connected to the flange structure 200, with the sealing element 40 disposed on one side of the flange structure 200 and the stop element 30 disposed on the other side of the flange structure 200. Utilizing the flange structure 200 as a support ensures the relative position between the sealing element 40 and the stop element 30, thereby improving the waterproofing effect. Even after prolonged use, the sealing element 40 can maintain good sealing performance, preventing waterproofing failure due to aging or wear.

[0042] It should be noted that the sealing element 40 is connected to the flange structure 200, and the sealing element 40 is located inside the opening 101, while the stop element 30 is located outside the opening 101, forming a three-layer structure from the outside to the inside consisting of the stop element 30, the flange structure 200, and the sealing element 40, which can further increase the sealing performance and reliability of outdoor waterproof electrical equipment.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, the seal 40 is positioned at a distance from the flange structure 200. By leaving a certain gap between the seal 40 and the flange structure 200, the gap can act as an additional waterproof layer, capturing and guiding incoming rainwater. This further reduces the amount of rainwater directly impacting the seal 40, while allowing the door panel 20 to have a certain degree of elasticity when closed. This improves the adaptability and durability of the seal 40, ensuring that it maintains a good seal even when the door panel 20 is subjected to external impact or deformation.

[0044] Preferably, the seal 40 is typically made of rubber or other polymer materials with a certain degree of elasticity. These materials may age or wear faster under continuous pressure. By maintaining a distance from the flange structure 200, the seal is only subjected to pressure where necessary when the door is closed, avoiding unnecessary stress and extending its service life. At the same time, the seal 40 can maintain a good sealing state under temperature changes or material expansion and contraction, improving the adaptability of the system.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the seal 40 and the stop 30 are positioned at a distance along the radial direction of the opening 101. This arrangement separates the seal 40 and the stop 30 in the radial direction, reducing physical interference between them during functional operation. It achieves a higher level of waterproofing and structural protection without sacrificing structural compactness. Furthermore, by forming a buffer zone between the seal 40 and the stop 30, the seal 40 can function independently even if rainwater penetrates the stop 30, ensuring waterproofing effectiveness, improving the redundancy of the waterproof structure, and enhancing the waterproof reliability of outdoor electrical equipment.

[0046] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the sealing element 40 extends in a direction parallel to the extension direction of the stop element 30. This arrangement ensures that when the door panel 20 is closed, the sealing element 40 forms a continuous sealing surface with the housing 10 or another door panel 20, minimizing the possibility of water, dust, or other external substances entering, while also simplifying the complexity of assembling the equipment door.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6As shown, the side of the stop 30 facing outward forms a drainage channel 300 with the housing 10 and the door panel 20. The drainage channel 300 is used to guide rainwater to flow along the extension direction of the stop 30. By setting the stop 30 and the corresponding drainage channel 300 at the edge of the door panel 20, rainwater can be effectively prevented from directly impacting the seal 40, reducing the working pressure on the seal 40 and extending its service life. The design of the drainage channel 300 can quickly guide rainwater to places away from critical parts of the equipment, reducing the chance of water accumulating near the door gap, thereby further enhancing the overall waterproof performance of the equipment. Utilizing the guiding effect of the stop 30, rainwater is guided downward from the side of the equipment, avoiding rainwater accumulation on the top or side of the equipment and reducing the possibility of water leakage.

[0048] Furthermore, the stop 30 and the flange structure 200 are integrally formed. This integral forming improves the bonding strength between the stop 30 and the flange structure 200, eliminates the seam between them, avoids potential leakage points, and reduces structural deformation caused by external impacts or prolonged use. Even after prolonged use, the connection between the stop 30 and the flange structure 200 will not loosen, maintaining stable waterproof performance.

[0049] Preferably, the stop 30 is welded to the flange structure. Welding allows for the fusion of the metal layers between the stop 30 and the flange structure 200, forming a connection that is more robust than a mechanical connection. This high-strength connection is particularly important for resisting external impacts and deformation, ensuring that the stop 30 maintains a stable position and good waterproof performance even under harsh conditions such as strong winds and heavy rain.

[0050] This application also provides a preferred embodiment of an outdoor waterproof electrical device, which, by adding an extra layer of protection, avoids the situation where the sealing strip on a normal structure is directly exposed to rainwater, thereby reducing the pressure on the main waterproof area or the sealing strip or reducing the risk of waterproof failure.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, an L-shaped stop 30 is welded to the outside of the flange structure 200 of the sealing component 40 on the outdoor waterproof electrical equipment to guide rainwater. The L-shaped stop 30 is located on the weakest side of the waterproofing of the outdoor waterproof electrical equipment (i.e., the top and side of the opening 101). When rainwater sprays onto the outdoor waterproof electrical equipment from the top or obliquely from the side, the rainwater will flow or spray in through the gap between the door panel 20 and the housing 10 (the gap is usually 2-5mm, but it will be larger if the tolerance is too large due to process reasons, etc.), causing the door panel 20 and the housing 10 to not be tightly attached. (or contact, resulting in leakage) At this time, the rainwater will be blocked by the L-shaped stop 30 welded to the opening 101, which restricts or blocks a large amount of rainwater. While blocking the rainwater on the front, it will guide the rainwater to flow vertically downward along the drainage channel 300 from the bottom of the outdoor waterproof electrical equipment. At this time, a small amount of rainwater may pass through the L-shaped stop 30 and run towards the seal 40, but the amount of rainwater has been greatly reduced. This successfully reduces the pressure of the seal 40 directly facing the external rainwater and avoids the situation where the external rainwater directly faces the seal 40 of the opening 101, thereby achieving a waterproof reinforcement effect.

[0052] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: by welding an L-shaped stop 30 at the flange structure 200 of the cabinet, an additional protective layer is provided for the existing sealing strip, effectively guiding rainwater away from the critical sealing area, significantly reducing the risk of waterproofing failure. This not only enhances the waterproofing performance of the equipment but also improves its safety and stability under harsh weather conditions, providing users with a more reassuring user experience. Furthermore, the flexibility and wide applicability of this technical solution enable it to meet the waterproofing needs of electrical equipment of different sizes and structures.
