What are the basic requirements that need to be met when designing a sheet metal enclosure?


For sheet metal type equipment, the design of its sheet metal enclosure is limited by a variety of factors and needs to meet the technical requirements of several aspects. Sheet metal enclosures, also called sheet metal enclosures, are made of sheet metal materials and are used to store servers, computers, power or other equipment such as boxes and shells made by sheet metal forming process, such as power cabinets, network cabinets, server cabinets, outdoor cabinets and other equipment. What are the basic requirements that need to be met when designing a sheet metal enclosure? Let's take a look at them in detail.


1. The sheet metal shell design should have good technical performance. For example, the structure of the power cabinet should be based on the electrical and mechanical properties of the equipment and the requirements of the use of the environment, a reasonable physical design and chemical design to ensure that the structure of the cabinet has good rigidity and strength and good electromagnetic isolation, grounding, noise isolation, ventilation and heat dissipation and other performance. In addition, the cabinet should have vibration resistance, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, dustproof, waterproof, radiation and other properties, in order to ensure the stability and reliability of the work of the equipment.


2. Sheet metal shell design should have good usability and necessary protection facilities, so that the equipment is easy to operate, install and maintain, use safe and reliable. For example, in the design of machine tool sheet metal shell, its structure and layout should be reasonably designed, the overall design should be ergonomic, human-machine interaction design humanized, fully taking into account various safety hazards, to ensure that the equipment is safe, reliable, easy and comfortable to operate.


3. The sheet metal shell should be easy to produce, assemble, debug and package for transportation. Generally speaking, the six steps of sheet metal shell processing are: drawing design, laser processing or (CNC stamping), bending, welding and molding, electrostatic powder spraying or (liquid painting), packaging and shipping. In the design of sheet metal shell, the material process, processing process, production cost and other factors should be taken into account, so that the design meets the process requirements, the structure is easy to assemble, the product is easy to debug and packaging and transportation, to ensure the feasibility, practicality and economy of the design drawings.


4. The design of sheet metal shell should meet the requirements of standardization, specification and serialization, and pursue beautiful, applicable and color coordination on the basis of ensuring the performance of equipment. The sheet metal shell mainly plays the role of fixing and protecting the internal structure of the equipment. In the design, the sheet metal shell should be designed according to the customer's drawings or specific specifications and meet the requirements of the internal structure design, which should be easy to process, low cost and beautiful.


  As the application of sheet metal becomes more and more widespread, the design of sheet metal parts becomes a very important part of the product development process in the design of sheet metal shells. Mechanical engineers must master the design skills of sheet metal parts and use the sheet metal process reasonably, so that the designed sheet metal can meet the requirements of both the function and appearance of the product, and also make the stamping die manufacturing simple and low cost.
