Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrical cabinets, and specifically relates to a buffer-type self-expanding storage partition for electrical cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing electrical cabinets are made of steel and are used to protect the components and ensure their normal operation. In the daily operation and maintenance of power plants, it is often necessary to connect a computer to the equipment inside the electrical cabinet to check, measure and debug the equipment.

[0003] In practical applications, there is often no designated area around the electrical cabinets for placing debugging computers or other operating tools. It is frequently necessary to bring in additional tables and chairs, or for staff to work directly with their computers. However, placing extra tables and chairs near the electrical cabinets is not only laborious and space-consuming, hindering staff movement, but also requires constantly moving the tables and chairs as the electrical cabinets change positions when debugging multiple rows of equipment, which is time-consuming, laborious, and inconvenient for staff. If staff are to use their computers for debugging, it directly affects their computer programming operations. Furthermore, when checking the equipment inside the electrical cabinets, staff can only place their tools on the ground, which not only restricts their movement but also easily damages the computers, creating safety hazards and further impacting the debugging work, thus reducing work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings and problems of existing electrical cabinets, such as the inconvenience of placing computers and other items when debugging equipment inside the cabinet, which affects the actual efficiency of staff and causes inconvenience, this invention provides a buffer-type self-expanding storage partition for electrical cabinets. This partition allows staff to place computers and other items while debugging equipment inside the electrical cabinet, avoiding the need for staff to carry them by hand or bring extra tables and chairs, which is time-consuming, laborious, and inconvenient, thus reducing work efficiency.

[0005] The solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: a buffer-type self-expanding storage partition for electrical cabinets, including an electrical cabinet, a partition body, a buffer-type support rod, and a self-expanding interlocking mechanism. The partition body is rotatably mounted on the cabinet door via a partition pivot. The self-expanding interlocking mechanism is fixedly mounted above the partition body and includes a long connecting rod, a fixing seat, a semi-circular protrusion, an L-shaped buckle, and a C-shaped connecting rod. The long connecting rod is parallel to the rear top of the partition body via the fixing seat, which is spaced apart on the cabinet door. The semi-circular protrusion and the L-shaped buckle are respectively mounted on the long connecting rods on both sides of the partition body. In its natural state... The L-shaped buckle axially fastens the partition body to the cabinet door, and the semi-circular protrusion is used to push the partition open from the fastened state when the cabinet door is opened; one end of the C-shaped connecting rod is hinged to the end of the long connecting rod, and the other end is fixed radially to the adjacent cabinet body, with its inner cavity facing the door gap between the cabinet door and the adjacent cabinet body, which can drive the long connecting rod to move left and right when the cabinet door is opened and closed; the buffer support rods are symmetrically installed on both sides of the partition body, with the top ends of the two buffer support rods respectively hinged to the two sides of the partition body, and the ends respectively hinged to the cabinet door; in the natural state, the contraction force formed by the stretching of the support rods keeps the partition body in the fastened state.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the inner tube of the buffer support rod is provided with an elastic sponge to reduce the impact when the support rod retracts.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the spacer is installed on the cabinet doors on both sides of the partition body, and the long connecting rod is slidably inserted into the two fixed seats in the horizontal direction.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the semi-circular protrusion includes a flat end and a beveled end. The flat end is installed parallel to the long connecting rod, and one side of the flat end extends into the beveled end towards the cabinet door. The beveled end abuts against the partition body in the initial state when it is in the snap-fit ​​state.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the semi-circular protrusion is installed on the long connecting rod on the left side of the partition body, and the L-shaped buckle is installed on the long connecting rod on the right side of the partition.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the center distance between the L-shaped buckle and the semi-circular protrusion is equal to the width of the partition.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention provides a storage partition inside the electrical cabinet, which facilitates the placement of tools and items by staff when debugging electrical equipment. By setting up a self-opening interlocking mechanism, the partition can be opened automatically by the opening and closing of the cabinet door, reducing the need for manual operation. It can also lock the partition in the latched state to prevent accidental opening due to vibration or other reasons, which could damage the equipment inside the cabinet. Buffer support rods are set on both sides of the partition body, which can provide a power source for the self-opening of the partition and reduce the impact generated during the opening process, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical equipment inside the electrical cabinet and increasing the service life of the electrical equipment.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 This invention provides a technical solution for a buffer-type self-expanding storage partition for electrical cabinets:

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the device includes an electrical cabinet 1, a partition body 2, a buffer support rod 9, and a self-expanding interlocking mechanism. The partition body 2 is rotatably mounted on the inner door of the electrical cabinet 1 via a partition pivot 8. One side of the partition pivot 8 is fixed to the door, and the other side is rotatably connected to the bottom of the partition body 2 to fix the partition body. The partition pivot 8 allows the partition body 2 to move along a single degree of freedom. That is, when the partition body is rotated downwards to be perpendicular to the door, it can be used to place items. When the partition body is rotated upwards, it can be folded and snapped together to be parallel and close to the door without occupying space inside the electrical cabinet. A self-expanding interlocking mechanism is installed on the door above the partition body, including a fixing seat 3, a semi-circular protrusion 4, an L-shaped buckle 5, a long connecting rod 6, and a C-shaped connecting rod 7. The long connecting rod 6 is connected to the fixing seat that is spaced apart on the door. 3. Parallel arrangement on the top rear side of the partition body 2, and the long connecting rod 6 is slidably inserted into the two fixed seats 3, allowing it to slide left and right within the fixed seats 3. The semi-circular protrusion 4 and the L-shaped buckle 5 are respectively installed on the long connecting rods on both sides of the partition body, that is, the semi-circular protrusion 4 is installed on the long connecting rod on the left side of the partition body, and the L-shaped buckle is installed on the long connecting rod on the right side of the partition body. The center distance between the L-shaped buckle and the semi-circular protrusion 4 is the width of the partition body. The semi-circular protrusion 4 includes a flat end and a beveled end. The flat end is installed parallel to the long connecting rod 6, and the flat end extends towards the cabinet door, with the beveled end abutting against the partition body. Therefore, when the long connecting rod moves to the right, the beveled end on the semi-circular protrusion can push open the partition body in the locked state as the long connecting rod moves, causing it to rotate downwards; see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The L-shaped buckle 5 is installed on the other side of the partition body. In its natural state, the L-shaped buckle can lock the partition body when it is fastened to the cabinet door, preventing it from being accidentally opened due to vibration or other reasons and damaging the equipment inside the cabinet. At the end of the long connecting rod on the right side of the L-shaped buckle, there is also a C-shaped connecting rod 7. One end of the C-shaped connecting rod 7 is hinged to the end of the long connecting rod, and the other end is fixedly hinged to the inner side wall of the cabinet adjacent to the cabinet door in the horizontal direction. The open end of the C-shaped connecting rod faces the door gap between the cabinet door and the cabinet body. When the electrical cabinet is opened, the C-shaped connecting rod can pull the long connecting rod to the right, thereby driving the semi-circular protrusion on the long connecting rod to move to the right. The inclined end on the semi-circular protrusion can push the partition body open. The opening height exceeds the height of the partition's pivot center line. At this time, the partition body is subjected to downward and backward forces from the cabinet door, thus opening downward on its own. By setting a self-opening interlocking mechanism on the electrical cabinet, the action of opening the cabinet door can generate linkage, allowing the partition to open on its own, reducing additional operations and making it convenient for staff to place tools and items.

[0022] See Figure 1 and Figure 4Buffer support rods 9 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the partition body. The top end of the buffer support rod 9 is hinged to the side wall of the partition body 2, and the tail end is hinged to the cabinet door below the partition pivot. The buffer support rod 9 can create a vacuum when stretched, forming a retraction force inside the rod tube to drive the partition body to unfold. An elastic sponge is also provided at the bottom of the rod tube to provide a certain buffering effect when the rod tube retracts. Specifically, when the partition body 2 is snapped up upwards, the buffer support rod stretches, creating a vacuum inside. The distance from the center line of the hinge point between the buffer support rod 9 and the partition body 2 to the cabinet door is less than the distance from the center line of the partition pivot 8 to the cabinet door. Under the action of the retraction force of the buffer support rod 9, the partition body is simultaneously subjected to downward and upward forces towards the cabinet door, thus maintaining the snapped state. When the partition body 2 is pushed open downwards, the buffer support rod 9 retracts. When the support rod 9 retracts to its minimum position, the buffer sponge inside can reduce the impact when the partition body rotates downwards, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical equipment inside the electrical cabinet.

[0023] In its specific operation, this invention provides a buffer-type self-expanding storage partition for electrical cabinets. When the cabinet door is opened, the C-shaped connecting rod, hinged to the end of a long connecting rod, pulls the long connecting rod to the right, simultaneously causing the semi-circular protrusion on the long connecting rod to push the partition body. The L-shaped buckle disengages, causing the partition body to rotate downwards and unfold on its own. During the unfolding process, the buffer support rod begins to retract until the partition body slowly unfolds to a horizontal state, allowing items to be placed normally. After the partition body is no longer in use, the partition body is lifted upwards to the locked state while the cabinet door is closed. Due to the retraction force of the buffer support rod, the partition body can maintain its locked state. During the closing process, the long connecting rod can move in the opposite direction under the action of the C-shaped connecting rod, simultaneously causing the L-shaped buckle on the long connecting rod to move in the opposite direction to lock the partition body and prevent accidental unfolding.

[0024] Example 2:

[0025] Based on Embodiment 1, the similarities between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 will not be repeated. The difference is that: a stop block assembly is provided on the cabinet below the semi-circular protrusion. The stop block assembly includes a mounting base and a baffle. The baffle is installed in the mounting base and can rotate within the mounting base. By rotating the position of the baffle, the partition body in the snap-fit ​​state is further locked, thereby preventing the L-shaped buckle from loosening due to vibration and causing the partition to unfold.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
