Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention specifically relates to the technical field of switch cabinets, and in particular to a switch cabinet with a pressure relief protection structure. Background Art

[0002] Switchgear is an electrical equipment widely used in power systems. It is mainly used to control, protect, measure and distribute electrical energy. The working principle of the switchgear is based on the basic principles of circuits and the characteristics of electrical components. When the power supply is connected to the switchgear, the electrical energy is distributed to each branch or electrical equipment through the busbar. During normal operation, the circuit breaker is in the closed state, and the current flows to the load through the circuit breaker, disconnector and other equipment. When an abnormal situation occurs in the circuit, such as overload, short circuit, etc., the protection device will detect the fault signal and issue a command to trip the circuit breaker and cut off the circuit, thereby protecting the safety of electrical equipment and lines;

[0003] When a fault occurs inside the switch cabinet, such as a short circuit causing an arc, the air will instantly expand due to heat, causing the pressure inside the cabinet to rise sharply. If the pressure is not relieved in time, the excessive pressure may cause the cabinet to deform or rupture. The electrical components in the switch cabinet are easily damaged under high pressure. For example, the insulating material may be squeezed and deformed, resulting in a decrease in insulation performance. The contacts of components such as relays and contactors may be displaced or damaged due to pressure shock, affecting their normal functions.

[0004] However, in practice, people have noticed that the internal pressure needs to reach the set pressure when the pressure relief device is opened. After the pressure relief, the pressure inside the switch cabinet is only slightly lower than the pressure relief pressure. At this time, the pressure inside the switch cabinet is still higher than the pressure outside, and the high temperature inside the switch cabinet will cause the air to continue to expand. Therefore, the switch cabinet cannot be opened immediately after the pressure relief. It is necessary to wait until the temperature inside the switch cabinet is completely reduced to a safe temperature. Only then will the internal pressure be reduced to a safe value. If it is opened immediately, the internal pressure will push the cabinet door open, which may easily injure workers and cause safety accidents. Summary of the invention

[0037] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 7-8A pressure relief air duct 54 is provided on one side of the movable baffle 51. The pressure relief air duct 54 has a longitudinal groove and a plurality of transverse grooves, wherein the transverse grooves are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the longitudinal groove, and one end of the transverse groove is connected to the longitudinal groove, and the other end extends to the side of the movable baffle 51;

[0038] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib 52 is fixedly connected to the other side of the movable baffle 51 , and manual pressure relief handles 53 are fixedly connected to both ends of the reinforcing rib 52 .

[0039] Furthermore, a fixing frame 9 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the side surface of the outer frame 4 , and the fixing frame 9 is located on one side of the side baffle 6 , and a connecting ear plate 61 corresponding to the fixing frame 9 is also integrally provided on the side baffle 6 .

[0040] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4-6 The fixing frame 9 includes a support plate 91 fixedly connected to the outer frame 4 at both ends, and a mounting groove 92 is opened in the middle of the support plate 91, and circular hole plates integral with the support plate 91 are provided on both sides of the mounting groove 92.

[0041] Furthermore, a pressure reset structure 10 is movably connected in the mounting groove 92, and an end of the pressure reset structure 10 passes through the mounting groove 92 and is movably connected to the side baffle 6, wherein the pressure reset structure 10 includes a swing seat 101 placed in the mounting groove 92, and both ends of the swing seat 101 are integrally provided with protrusions that are plugged into the circular orifice plate.

[0042] To be more specific, the inner side of the swing seat 101 is threadedly connected to a threaded connecting rod 102, one end of the threaded connecting rod 102 is movably connected to the connecting ear plate 61 on the side of the side baffle 6 through a pin, and the other end of the threaded connecting rod 102 passes through the swing seat 101 and is threadedly matched with a threaded adjustment ring 104.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, when a fault occurs inside the switch cabinet, such as a short circuit generating an arc, the air will expand instantly due to heat, causing the pressure in the cabinet to increase sharply. The pressure will push the movable baffle 51 to move outward, and the side baffles 6 at both ends of the movable baffle 51 will rotate along with the movement of the movable baffle 51, and the end of the side baffle 6 away from the movable baffle 51 is connected by sliding between the cylindrical slider 62 and the slide groove, so that the end of the side baffle 6 slides toward the inside of the outer frame 4, and at the same time, the connecting ear plate 61 on the side of the side baffle 6 drives the threaded connecting rod 102 to move on the inside of the swing seat 101, and the threaded adjustment ring 104 follows the movement of the threaded connecting rod 102 to compress the compression spring 103, and the movable baffle 51 moves to the side of the outer frame 4. At this time, the pressure inside the switch cabinet is released through the gap between the movable baffle 51 and the outer frame 4. When the pressure inside the switch cabinet is lower than the elastic force of the compression spring 103, the compression spring 103 will drive the side baffle 6 to reset through the threaded connecting rod 102, thereby resetting the side baffle 6 and the movable baffle 51. Before the worker opens the front cabinet door 3, he needs to manually open the movable baffle 51 through the manual pressure relief handle 53 to completely release the pressure inside the switch cabinet.

[0045] In this embodiment, a plug-in push rod 8 is symmetrically provided on one side of the outer frame 4 located in the cabinet 1.

[0047] In this embodiment, the push plate 82 is located on the side of the movable baffle 51 close to the pressure relief air duct 54, and the end of the push plate 82 is arranged in a Y shape. The push plate 82 is used to enable the connecting plate 81 to push the movable baffle 51 to move to the outside of the outer frame 4, so that the switch cabinet can be manually depressurized on the other side.

[0048] In this embodiment, the two push plates 82 are respectively located on both sides of the movable baffle 51 to facilitate manual opening of the movable baffle 51 .

[0049] The working principle of the present invention is: when a fault occurs inside the switch cabinet, such as a short circuit generating an arc, the air will expand instantly due to heat, causing the pressure in the cabinet to increase sharply, and the pressure will push the movable baffle 51 to move outward, and the side baffles 6 at both ends of the movable baffle 51 will rotate following the movement of the movable baffle 51, and the end of the side baffle 6 away from the movable baffle 51 is connected by sliding between the cylindrical slider 62 and the slide groove, so that the end of the side baffle 6 slides in the outer frame 4, and at the same time, the connecting ear plate 61 on the side of the side baffle 6 drives the threaded connecting rod 102 to move on the inner side of the swing seat 101, and the threaded adjustment ring 104 follows the movement of the threaded connecting rod 102 to compress the compression spring 103, and the movable baffle 51 moves to the side of the outer frame 4. At this time, the pressure inside the switch cabinet is released through the gap between the movable baffle 51 and the outer frame 4. When the pressure inside the switch cabinet is lower than the elastic force of the compression spring 103 , the compression spring 103 will drive the side baffle 6 to reset through the threaded connecting rod 102, thereby resetting the side baffle 6 and the movable baffle 51. Before the worker opens the front cabinet door 3, he needs to manually open the movable baffle 51 through the manual pressure relief handle 53 to completely release the pressure inside the switch cabinet. After opening the rear cabinet door 7, the connecting plate 81 can be used to push the movable baffle 51 to move outward through the push plate 82 until the movable baffle 51 moves to the outside of the outer frame 4, and the pressure on the inside is completely released through the gap. The threaded adjustment ring 104 is rotated, and the position of the threaded adjustment ring 104 on the outside of the threaded connecting rod 102 is adjusted through the threaded cooperation between the threaded adjustment ring 104 and the threaded connecting rod 102, thereby adjusting the distance between the swing seat 101 and the threaded adjustment ring 104, and adjusting the compression ratio of the compression spring 103, thereby adjusting the opening pressure of the movable baffle 51.
