It mainly has the functions of centralized control, protection, measurement and distribution of electric energy to ensure the normal operation of the power system and protect the safety of equipment and personnel; the control cabinet includes a cabinet body, which is usually a closed or semi-closed metal cabinet body with a rectangular or square shape. Common materials include steel plates and aluminum alloys. The cabinet body is equipped with lighting, electrical components and wiring systems according to the design layout.

[0003] Control cabinet assembly is a systematic process. In the prior art, first, the assembler prepares the required electrical components, including switches, sockets, circuit breakers, power supplies, relays, and related connecting wires, insulating sleeves, fixings, etc., according to the design drawings, and determines the installation position and quantity of the electrical components, as well as the wiring method; to avoid omission of components and installation interference, the assembler needs to determine the assembly sequence based on the design requirements and the internal layout of the control cabinet, combined with work experience, install the electrical components one by one, connect the wires and plugs between the components, and connect the power supply to the electrical components in the control cabinet; after completing the electrical wiring, test and debug the electrical system of the control cabinet; after completing the electrical test, check the fixing of each component; after completing the appearance inspection, perform insulation and withstand voltage tests on the control cabinet.

[0004] Using the above assembly method, especially for larger control cabinets, on the one hand, the assembly workers need to check the drawings many times to determine the type, quantity and installation location of components, which has low installation efficiency and is prone to installation errors. They can only be discovered in the final inspection and testing stage, and they need to check one by one to find the errors, which greatly reduces work efficiency. On the other hand, the assembly workers need to rely on experience to determine the assembly sequence, which is affected by the work level of the assembly workers, and the work efficiency of new assembly workers is low.

[0031] In order to improve the level of human-computer interaction, in this specific implementation, the display module 3 adopts a touch screen.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to timely determine whether the electrical components are installed correctly and avoid using the elimination method to check one by one to find the incorrectly installed electrical components after the problem is found in the electrical test, in this specific embodiment, it also includes an image acquisition module 8 and a prompt module, the image acquisition module 8 and the prompt module are electrically connected to the control module, and the image acquisition module 8 is used to collect the image information of the installed electrical components; in this specific embodiment, the image acquisition module adopts an industrial camera, the industrial camera is connected to a turntable assembly 6, the turntable assembly 6 includes a mounting plate, a motor is arranged on the mounting plate, the motor is a motor reducer integrated machine, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the bevel gear set, the bevel gear set is connected to the industrial camera, the mounting plate of the turntable assembly 6 is connected to the electric lifting rod 7, the lower part of the electric lifting rod 7 is provided with a base, the turntable assembly 6 and the electric lifting rod 7 are electrically connected to the control module; the control module stores the installation position of the electrical components and the matching industrial camera height to ensure that the installed electrical components can be photographed; in this specific embodiment, the prompt device adopts a voice prompter.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, in this specific embodiment, the control module and the display module 3 are both installed in the box body 2, the control module is electrically connected to a USB interface, the USB interface is arranged on one side of the box body 2, the barcode scanner adopts a wired barcode scanner, which is hung on one side of the box body 2, and a voice prompter is arranged on the box body 2. This specific embodiment also includes a tool box 5 and an accessory box 1, the tool box 5 and the accessory box 1 are respectively placed on one side of the box body 2, the electric lifting rod 7 and the control cabinet to be assembled are placed at corresponding positions on the ground and arranged relatively, the placement area mark of the electric lifting rod 7 and the control cabinet to be assembled is arranged on the ground, and when the assembler moves to the front of the box body 2 to operate the display module 3, the field of view of the industrial camera is no longer blocked by the operator. Specific implementation method 2 like Figure 2 As shown, this specific embodiment provides a control cabinet assembly method, using the control cabinet assembly system of specific embodiment 1, including the following steps: S01: Determine the assembly order of electrical components of the control cabinet to be assembled, and store it in the control module; S02: Identify the barcode on the control cabinet; S03: Display the types and quantities of required electrical components, fixtures, and connecting wires; S04: Displaying the installation positions of the electrical components in sequence according to the assembly order and installing the corresponding electrical components; S05: After all electrical components are installed, wiring is performed to connect the wires and plugs between the components, and the power supply is connected to the electrical components; S06: Test and debug the electrical system of the installed control cabinet; S07: Check the fixation of each component; S08: Perform insulation and withstand voltage tests on the control cabinet.

[0035] This specific implementation method facilitates assemblers to quickly and accurately assemble the required accessories by displaying the types and numbers of required electrical components, fixtures, and connecting wires. It can also assist assemblers to assemble in the corresponding assembly sequence to avoid the impact of low manual operation level on assembly efficiency.

[0036] In S01, in order to ensure the accuracy of the assembly sequence and the efficiency of installation, the corresponding assembly sequence is generated according to the electrical principle information of the control cabinet to be assembled and the height of the electrical components. In this step, the assembly sequence can be generated by the control module, or by an assembly worker with rich assembly experience. In this specific embodiment, the component assembly sequence of the control cabinet to be assembled is generated by the assembly worker and stored in the control module, and the control module is directly called during the control process.

[0037] In this specific embodiment, in order to enable the assemblers to flexibly control the assembly system according to their own work conditions, in S03 and S04, the display module 3 will display a "Next" click button on the screen, so that the operator can click to switch to the next step and the next electrical component to be installed.

The control module determines whether the electrical components are installed correctly and whether the identification of the electrical components is clear. If the electrical components are incorrect (that is, the electrical components determined by the image are inconsistent with the type or model of the electrical components to be installed given by the control module) or the identification is unclear, the prompt module issues a prompt; at the same time, when the control module determines that the installation position of the newly installed electrical components does not match the height of the industrial camera, the control module controls the movement of the electric lifting rod 7 and the turntable assembly 6 to adjust the industrial camera to a matching position.

[0039] In this specific embodiment, when the display module 3 displays the installation positions of the corresponding electrical components, a digital model of the control cabinet to be assembled is presented, so that the assembler can determine the installation position on the cabinet more intuitively and efficiently.

Better human-computer interaction through the use of touch screens; 3. The image acquisition module 8 and the prompt module can promptly remind the assembly workers of improper or incorrect installation, and make corrections in time to improve assembly efficiency; 4. By setting the turntable assembly 6 and the electric lifting rod 7, the position of the industrial camera can be adjusted when necessary to ensure that the image of the newly installed electrical components can be collected, so that the control module can make timely and accurate judgments; 5. By displaying the types and numbers of required electrical components, fixtures, and connecting wires, it is convenient for assemblers to quickly and accurately equip the required accessories. At the same time, it can also assist assemblers to assemble in the corresponding assembly sequence, avoiding the impact of manual operation level on assembly efficiency; 6. The control module generates the corresponding assembly sequence according to the electrical principle information and the height of electrical components, which can reduce errors in the assembly process and improve assembly efficiency; 7.
