Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0020] See attached document Figure 1In this embodiment 1, a modular electrical control cabinet for teaching includes a cabinet 100. A base plate 110 is disposed within the cabinet 100. A mounting plate 120 is slidably connected to the upper side of the base plate 110. An electronic module 130 is placed on the mounting plate 120. A driving device is provided between the base plate 110 and the cabinet 100. The driving device includes a vertical guide rail 200, a synchronous belt mechanism 300, and a shifting and fixing device 400. The vertical guide rail 200 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 100, and the base plate 110 is slidably mounted on the vertical guide rail 200. The synchronous belt mechanism 300 includes a driving pulley 310, a driven pulley 320, and a synchronous belt 330. The driven pulley 320 and the driving pulley 310 are respectively... Rotatably mounted at the upper and lower ends of the vertical guide rail 200, the drive pulley 310 is connected to the worm gear reducer 340, and the worm gear reducer 340 is connected to the rotary driver 350. The base plate 110 is fixedly mounted with a displacement retainer 400, which is used to fix the base plate 110 to the vertical guide rail 200 or the synchronous belt. A lead screw and slider mechanism 500 is provided between the base plate 110 and the mounting plate 120. A clutch 600 is provided between the lead screw of the lead screw and slider mechanism 500 and the tooth surface of the synchronous belt 330. The clutch 600 is used to cut off or transmit the power input to the lead screw and slider mechanism 500 after the vertical motion of the synchronous belt 330 is converted into horizontal motion.

[0021] How to use:

[0022] 1. Fixed state: When in use, the shift fixer 400 fixes the substrate 110 to the vertical guide rail 200, thereby fixing the height position of the substrate 110 and the electronic module 130 on it within the cabinet 100.

[0023] 2. Lifting state: When in use, the shifting and fixing device 400 fixes the base plate 110 to the synchronous belt 330. The rotary driver 350 (i.e., the motor) starts to rotate and drives the synchronous belt mechanism 300 through the worm gear reducer 340. This allows the synchronous belt 330 to lift the base plate 110 and the electronic module 130 on it, thereby adjusting the height of the electronic module 130 and rationally allocating the space inside the cabinet.

[0024] 3. Pull-out state: In the fixed state described above, the clutch 600 engages with the synchronous belt 330, transmitting the power from the up-and-down motion of the synchronous belt 330 to the horizontal motion input to the screw-slider mechanism 500. The screw of the screw-slider mechanism 500 rotates, driving the mounting plate 120 (i.e., the slider) to move left and right through the thread, thereby realizing the pull-out function of the electronic module 130, making it convenient for users to replace it.

[0025] As attached Figure 2As shown in Example 2, based on Example 1, the displacement fixer 400 includes a first adjusting screw 410 and a first sliding block 420. The first adjusting screw 410 is rotatably mounted on the base plate 110. One end of the first adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the first sliding block 420. The first sliding block 420 is slidably connected to the base plate 110. Springs 430 are fixedly connected to both sides of the first sliding block 420. The springs 430 are fixedly connected to the locking block 440. The locking block 440 is slidably connected to the sliding block.

[0026] When the first adjusting screw 410 rotates, it drives the first sliding block 420 to move left and right through the thread, so that the locking block 440 can be engaged with the vertical guide rail 200 or the synchronous belt. The spring 430 can delay the separation and engage the locking block 440, which plays a safety role and better realizes the transition between the two, preventing the base plate 110 from being accidentally dropped.

[0027] The locking block 440 is provided with a locking tooth 441, and the vertical guide rail 200 is fixedly provided with a rack 210. The locking tooth 441 engages with the rack 210 or the synchronous belt. The locking tooth 441 and the rack 210 facilitate fixed connection and release.

[0028] Preferably, the locking block 440 is provided with a limiting movable groove 442, and a locking tooth 441 is slidably installed on the limiting movable groove 442. An elastic pad 443 is provided between the upper and lower ends of the locking tooth 441 and the limiting movable groove 442. The elastic pad 443 can provide a certain amount of vertical movement, reducing the requirements for engagement positioning accuracy and preventing jamming during switching.

[0029] Preferably, a magnetic friction pad is fixedly installed at the tip of the tooth 441. A soft magnet is provided inside the vertical guide rail 200, and the soft magnet is connected to an electromagnet. When the electromagnet is energized, the soft magnet is magnetized, which magnetically attracts the magnetic friction pad, thereby improving the locking effect of the tooth 441.

[0030] As attached Figure 3 As shown in Embodiment 2, based on Embodiment 1 or 2, the clutch 600 includes a second adjusting screw 610 and a second sliding block 620. The second adjusting screw 610 is rotatably mounted on the base plate 110, and one end of the adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the second sliding block 620. The second sliding block 620 and the base plate 110 are slidably connected. A gear commutator 630 is provided on the second sliding block 620. A drive gear 631 is fixedly mounted on the input shaft of the gear commutator 630. The drive gear 631 meshes with the tooth surface of the synchronous belt 330. The output shaft of the gear commutator 630 and the lead screw of the lead screw slider mechanism 500 are circumferentially fixed and axially slidingly connected.

[0031] When the second adjusting screw 610 rotates, it drives the second sliding block 620 to move left and right through the thread, so that the driving gear 631 of the gear reversing device 630 can be engaged or disengaged from the synchronous belt. When engaged, the synchronous belt drives the driving gear 631 to rotate, and after the gear reversing transmission through the gear reversing device 630, the power is output to the lead screw slider mechanism 500 to drive the lead screw to rotate and work.

[0032] The gear commutator 630 has a pair of meshing bevel gears inside. The two bevel gears 632 are fixedly connected to the input shaft and output shaft respectively, enabling the aforementioned reversing transmission. The output shaft end of the gear commutator 630 is provided with a hexagonal bar, and the lead screw end face of the lead screw mechanism 500 is provided with an internal hexagonal hole, which is inserted into the hexagonal bar. The internal hexagonal hole and the hexagonal bar provide a method for achieving circumferential fixation and axial sliding connection.

[0033] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes in form and detail are possible within the scope of the claims.
