Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrical control, in particular to an electric control cabinet. BACKGROUND

[0002] The factory is a place for enterprises to provide production, so the stability of lighting is particularly important. At present, the factory lighting system mainly takes the local environment light intensity as the standard, and sets different switching times according to different light intensities. The load of lighting is different in different environments, and the over-high lighting load is easy to cause the contact point of the intelligent control module to burn out, resulting in unstable lighting, which not only affects the passing of employees and vehicles in the factory, but also affects the operation and maintenance of personnel to the equipment, so it is necessary to maintain and replace the faulty module in time.

[0003] At present, the lighting control module is generally arranged in the electrical control cabinet. When the control element needs to be maintained due to failure, the corresponding control element needs to be removed and replaced. Generally, the control element is fixed by screws during wiring, which results in a long time required for disassembly and replacement, especially when the single element has too many connection cables, which seriously affects the maintenance efficiency. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide an electric control cabinet which is easy to maintain.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application adopts the following technical scheme: an electric control cabinet, comprising a cabinet body, at least one card rail for installing control elements and an adapter mechanism for connecting control elements and wiring cables are detachably arranged in the cabinet body; the adapter mechanism comprises a fixed plate, at least one adapter head electrically connected with the wiring cable is detachably arranged on the upper and lower sides of the fixed plate, and a conductive row is movably arranged between the adapter head and the wiring end of the control element.

[0006] The cabinet body is further provided with an adjusting mechanism capable of simultaneously moving multiple conductive rows into and out of the wiring end of the control element.

[0007] Further, the length of the fixed plate is not less than the length of the card rail, and a strip-shaped mounting hole adapted to the card rail hole is formed on the fixed plate.

[0008] Further, the adapter head comprises a first plugboard, a slide rail perpendicular to the first plugboard is arranged on the first plugboard, a wiring terminal capable of moving towards and away from the first plugboard is slidably arranged on the slide rail, a spring is arranged between the first plugboard and the wiring terminal, and the wiring terminal is at the farthest end when the spring is in a natural state.

[0009] The upper and lower sides of the fixed plate are provided with insertion grooves for the first plugboard, and the groove spacing of the insertion grooves is smaller than the thickness of the first plugboard.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the first insert plate away from the fixing plate is provided with a cable tie for organizing the wiring cables, and the opening of the cable tie is located on the side closer to the wiring terminal.

[0011] Furthermore, the conductive busbar includes a middle section and conductive contact sections located at both ends of the middle section. The middle section is covered with a protective sleeve for insulation, and the cross-section of the conductive contact sections is wavy.

[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes two side plates located at both ends of the fixed plate along its length. At least one second insert plate is provided on the side plate near the fixed plate. The thickness of the second insert plate is greater than the slot spacing. An adjustment knob is rotatably provided on the side plate away from the fixed plate. A gear is rotatably provided on the side plate near the fixed plate and fixedly connected to the adjustment knob. Two racks that mesh with the gear are slidably provided on the side plate near the fixed plate. The gear is located between the two racks. A clamping plate is provided at the end of the rack away from the gear.

[0013] The adjustment mechanism also includes a lever on the conductive busbar, with levers on both the upper and lower sides of the lever. The clamp plate has a sliding groove adapted to the lever, and the lever can move along the sliding groove towards the side closer to and away from the fixed plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a hanging rope is provided on the side plate, and a hook is provided at the end of the hanging rope away from the side plate. The adjustment knob has a hanging hole that matches the hook.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are reflected in:

[0016] This invention, by setting up an adapter mechanism for connecting control elements and wiring cables, allows the control element, after being installed on the rail, to not be directly connected to the wiring cable. Instead, the wiring cable is first electrically connected to the adapter mechanism, and then the adapter mechanism is electrically connected to the control element. When the control element malfunctions, the adjustment mechanism moves multiple conductive bars simultaneously out of the control element's wiring terminal, allowing the control element to be removed from the rail. After replacing the control element, the adjustment mechanism can quickly move multiple conductive bars to connect to the new control element. By reducing the time spent disassembling and connecting cables during assembly and disassembly, this invention achieves the goal of easy maintenance. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention discloses an electrical control cabinet, including a cabinet body 1. The cabinet body 1 is detachably provided with at least one mounting rail 2 for installing control elements and a transfer mechanism 3 for connecting control elements to wiring cables. The transfer mechanism 3 includes a fixing plate 31. At least one adapter 32 electrically connected to the wiring cables is detachably provided on both the upper and lower sides of the fixing plate 31. A conductive bar 33 is movably provided between the adapter 32 and the wiring terminal of the control element.

[0026] The cabinet 1 is also equipped with an adjustment mechanism 4 that can simultaneously move multiple conductive bars 33 into and out of the control element terminals.

[0027] This invention, by setting up a transfer mechanism 3 for connecting the control element and the wiring cable, allows the control element to be installed on the rail 2 without being directly connected to the wiring cable. Instead, the wiring cable is first electrically connected to the transfer mechanism 3, and then the transfer mechanism 3 is electrically connected to the control element. When the control element fails, the adjustment mechanism 4 drives multiple conductive bars 33 to move out of the control element's wiring terminal simultaneously, allowing the control element to be removed from the rail 2. After replacing the control element, the adjustment mechanism 4 can quickly drive multiple conductive bars 33 to connect to the new control element. By reducing the time spent disassembling and connecting cables during assembly and disassembly, the invention achieves the goal of easy maintenance.

[0028] In one embodiment, the length of the fixing plate 31 is not less than the length of the rail 2, and the fixing plate 31 is provided with a strip-shaped mounting hole that matches the hole position of the rail 2.

[0029] This design allows the fixing plate 31 to be fixed inside the cabinet 1 while the mounting rail 2 is being installed, saving internal space in the cabinet 1 and simplifying the installation process.

[0030] In practice, since the widths of the cabinets 1 are not uniform, the lengths of the purchased rails 2 are also different. Therefore, users can cut the fixing plate 31 in the length direction of the fixing plate 31 according to the specific usage situation so that the length of the fixing plate 31 matches the length of the rail 2.

[0031] In one embodiment, the adapter 32 includes a first insert plate 321, a slide rail 322 perpendicular to the first insert plate 321 is provided on the first insert plate 321, a terminal block 323 slidably provided on the slide rail 322 that can move toward and away from the first insert plate 321, and a spring 324 is provided between the first insert plate 321 and the terminal block 323. When the spring 324 is in its natural state, the terminal block 323 is at its farthest end.

[0032] The fixing plate 31 has slots on both the upper and lower sides for the insertion of the first insert plate 321. The slot spacing is less than the thickness of the first insert plate 321.

[0033] This design alters the depth of the first insert plate 321 within the slot, thereby changing the spacing between the terminal block 323 and the control element. This allows for adaptation to control elements of different heights. Since the slot spacing is less than the thickness of the first insert plate 321, the first insert plate 321, once inserted, can be temporarily fixed in place by the clamping force of the fixing plate 31, preventing other first insert plates 321 from interfering with the already installed position. Sliding the first insert plate 321 within the slot adjusts the spacing between adjacent terminal blocks 323, enabling adaptation to control elements with different wiring spacing. Finally, sliding the terminal blocks 323 along the slide rail 322 adjusts their position, allowing for adaptation to control elements with different wiring positions.

[0034] In practice, in order to improve the installation stability of the first insert plate 321, the surface of the first insert plate 321 is provided with a resistance-increasing groove to increase the clamping friction. At the same time, after all the first insert plates 321 are evenly distributed, self-tapping screws are installed on the fixing plate 31 to further clamp the side panels of the slot.

[0035] In one embodiment, the end of the first insert plate 321 away from the fixing plate 31 is provided with a cable tie 5 for organizing the wiring cables, and the opening of the cable tie 5 is located on the side close to the terminal block 323.

[0036] This design allows for the organization and securing of tangled cables into the cable tie 5 after the cables are connected to the terminal block 323, facilitating the identification of the correct cables during subsequent maintenance.

[0037] In one embodiment, the conductive busbar 33 includes a middle section and conductive contact sections located at both ends of the middle section. The middle section is covered with a sheath for insulation protection, and the cross-section of the conductive contact sections is wavy.

[0038] This design, with its corrugated cross-section, allows the conductive contact section to compress under pressure, enabling it to fit the wiring holes of various control components. Furthermore, the self-resetting force after compression ensures that the conductive contact section can make tight contact with the wiring holes of the control components, guaranteeing stable circuit connectivity without the need for additional screw tightening.

[0039] In one embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 4 includes two side plates 41 located at both ends of the fixed plate 31 along its length. At least one second insert plate 42 is provided on the side of the side plate 41 near the fixed plate 31. The thickness of the second insert plate 42 is greater than the slot spacing. An adjustment knob 43 is rotatably provided on the side of the side plate 41 away from the fixed plate 31. A gear 44 is rotatably provided on the side of the side plate 41 near the fixed plate 31 and is fixedly connected to the adjustment knob 43. Two racks 45 that mesh with the gear 44 are slidably provided on the side of the side plate 41 near the fixed plate 31. The gear 44 is located between the two racks 45. A clamping plate 46 is provided at the end of the rack 45 away from the gear 44.

[0040] The adjustment mechanism 4 also includes a lever 47 disposed on the conductive busbar 33. The lever 47 has levers 48 disposed on both the upper and lower sides. The clamping plate 46 has a sliding groove adapted to the levers 48. The levers 48 can move along the sliding groove towards the side closer to and away from the fixed plate 31.

[0041] This design allows the adjustment mechanism 4 to be connected to the fixed plate 31 via the second insert plate 42, saving on installation parts and not affecting maintenance personnel from adding or removing control elements according to specific needs.

[0042] It should be noted that during installation, first install the corresponding control element onto the rail 2, then insert the conductive busbar 33 into the wiring hole of the control element, and then install the adapter 32. Adjust the position of the wiring terminal 323 in the adapter 32 so that the wiring terminal 323 can also be connected to the conductive busbar 33. Then move the two levers 48 to the upper and lower sides of the lever block 47, and then rotate the adjusting knob 43 to make the two clamps 46 move in opposite directions until the lever 48 can be inserted into the slide groove. At this time, fix the position of the lever 48 in the clamp 46 with screws. Then, adjusting the forward and reverse movement of the knob 43 can drive the conductive busbar 33 to move in and out of the wiring terminal of the control element.

[0043] In one embodiment, a hanging rope is provided on the side plate 41, and a hook is provided at the end of the hanging rope away from the side plate 41. The adjustment knob 43 has a hanging hole adapted to the hook.

[0044] This design, by connecting the hook to the hanging hole, prevents the adjustment knob 43 from rotating further, thereby ensuring the stability of the control system when the electrical control cabinet is working normally.

[0045] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0046] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0047] Additionally, "multiple" refers to two or more.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
