When choosing the box material of the outdoor LED cabinet, both die-cast aluminum boxes and sheet metal iron boxes have their own advantages and disadvantages. The specific choice needs to be determined based on actual needs and budget.
The advantages of die-cast aluminum boxes mainly include:
1. Light weight: Die-cast aluminum cabinets are light in weight and easy to transport and install. They can be carried by one person with one hand, saving installation time.
2. Thin and high strength: The cabinet body is made of die-cast aluminum, which has high strength, toughness, high precision, and is not easy to deform. The thin design is easy to transport.
3. Quick installation: The cabinet body adopts a quick-locking mechanism for the upper, lower, left and right connections. Two boxes can be locked by turning a handle. The installation speed is fast and the accuracy is high.
4. Good heat dissipation: The die-cast aluminum cabinet has good heat dissipation performance and does not require external fans, air conditioners and other equipment, reducing noise and operating costs.
5. High waterproofness: Use car-specific waterproof strips to ensure waterproofness, and the back can reach IP54 level.
However, die-cast aluminum boxes also have some disadvantages, such as high manufacturing costs and not suitable for small batch production.
The advantages of sheet metal iron boxes include:
1. Sturdy and durable: The steel plate of the sheet metal cabinet can form a solid shell after multiple processes such as forming, welding, and surface treatment, which greatly improves the durability of the cabinet and is suitable for use in more difficult environments.
2. Simple manufacturing process: The sheet metal box cabinet is made of sheet metal materials. The manufacturing process is simple, easy to achieve large-scale and mass production, and the cost is relatively low.
However, the disadvantages of sheet metal iron boxes are also obvious. For example, the sealing performance is poor, and rivets are generally used for connection. Other waterproof measures must be taken for the storage and transportation of items with high sealing requirements.
To sum up, when it comes to choosing outdoor LED cabinets, if you pay more attention to lightness, high strength, quick installation and waterproof performance, and if the budget allows, die-cast aluminum cabinets are a good choice. If you pay more attention to durability and manufacturing costs, and the sealing performance requirements are not particularly high, sheet metal iron cabinets are a more economical and practical choice.
