Types of sheet metal boxes

1, Classified by application scenario

● Power cabinet: used to accommodate and protect power equipment, ensuring stable operation of the power system.

●Network cabinet: mainly used for installing network equipment (such as switches, routers, etc.), providing protection and management for network equipment.

● Server rack: designed specifically for IT equipment such as servers, with functions such as heat dissipation and electromagnetic shielding to ensure efficient server operation.

● Outdoor protective box: Suitable for outdoor environments, such as new energy charging station distribution boxes, outdoor control boxes for monitoring equipment, etc., it needs to have waterproof, dustproof, and corrosion-resistant characteristics.

● Control box/junction box: Used for connecting control modules or circuits of electronic and electrical equipment, commonly found in industrial automation, lighting systems, and other fields.

 

2, Classified by usage environment

● Indoor type: mainly used for indoor environments with lower protection requirements (such as ordinary electronic equipment control boxes).

● Outdoor type: To cope with environmental factors such as rainwater, ultraviolet radiation, and temperature differences, corrosion-resistant materials such as galvanized sheet and stainless steel are usually used (such as outdoor charging station boxes and wall mounted monitoring equipment chassis).

 

3, Classified by manufacturing process

● Welding type: The sheet metal parts are fixed and formed through welding technology, which has a stable structure but is difficult to maintain.

● Assembled: Assembled with bolts, buckles, and other connectors for easy disassembly and maintenance (such as some modular cabinets).

 

4, Classified by structural method

● Frame type: With a metal frame as the main body, combined with side panels, door panels and other components, it has high strength and good expandability (commonly seen in large cabinets).

● Plate type: mainly made of flat materials, with a relatively simple structure, suitable for small control boxes or junction boxes.

 

In summary, there are various types of sheet metal boxes, and the specific type needs to be selected based on actual application requirements such as environment, function, and structure.
