Abstract

A mounting device for an apparatus having a heat dissipation requirement; the apparatus is housed in a cabinet, and comprises a heat dissipation part; the mounting device comprises a box body (1) housed in the cabinet (4); the box body (1) comprises a peripheral wall (11) on the sides, and a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface respectively located at the ends of the peripheral wall (11) on the sides; the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface are oppositely disposed and form an opening in the rear wall of the cabinet; the first mounting surface is mounted around the opening inside the cabinet, and is provided with an opening corresponding to the opening thereon; the apparatus is mounted on the second mounting surface; the heat dissipation part pushes through the second mounting surface, and extends into the box body (1) but does not go beyond the first mounting surface. The apparatus is completely housed in the cabinet, and no heat dissipation part extends outside the cabinet, thus the cabinet can be properly placed against the wall.

Claims

1. A mounting device for an apparatus having a heat dissipation requirement, the apparatus being housed in a cabinet and having a heat dissipation part, the mounting device comprising:

a box body configured for mounting the cabinet, the box body including;

a peripheral wall extending around sides of the box body;

a first mounting surface located at a first side of the peripheral wall, the first mounting surface configured for mounting around an opening in a rear wall of the cabinet, the first mounting surface having a second opening corresponding to the opening in the rear wall; and

a second mounting surface located at a second side of the peripheral wall on the sides, the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface being oppositely disposed on the peripheral wall, wherein the second mounting surface is configured to allow mounting of the apparatus to the second mounting surface; and

wherein the mounting device passes through the second mounting surface and is configured to allow the heat dissipation part to extent into the box body.

2. The mounting device according to claim 1, further comprising a flange configured to connect the apparatus and the second mounting surface.

3. The mounting device according to claim 1 in combination with the apparatus and wherein the apparatus is a frequency converter.

4. The mounting device according to claim 1, further comprising a first sealing device configured to be mounted between the first mounting surface and the cabinet.

5. The mounting device according to claim 4, further comprising a second sealing device configured to be mounted between the second mounting surface and the flange.

6. The mounting device according to claim 5, wherein the first sealing device and the second sealing device comprise at least one of a waterproof sponge and a sealing gasket.

7. The mounting device according to claim 1, wherein the box body is hexahedron-shaped, and the peripheral wall includes four sidewalls, each of which is either trapezoidal or rectangular.

8. The mounting device according to claim 1, wherein the box body is cylinder-shaped, and wherein and the peripheral wall includes a circumferential wall.

9. The mounting device according to claim 1, and wherein the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface are respectively composed of a first edge and a second edge surrounding the two opposite ends of the peripheral wall on the sides.
