Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of structural design of instrument control equipment, and specifically to an implementation scheme for internally transforming and replacing an integrated frame for an industrial control cabinet. Background Art

[0002] In the field of structural design of nuclear power instrument control equipment, with the increase in the service life of on-site service cabinets, the transformation of old systems has become an important task for nuclear power plants and instrument control manufacturers in recent years. In actual transformation, in order to avoid affecting the construction period and increasing the construction difficulty due to civil engineering construction, laying of main cables, disassembly, lifting and transportation of cabinets, etc., operating nuclear power plants often require not to replace the original cabinet, but only to replace the internal equipment.

[0003] In the prior art, the transformation of only replacing internal equipment mainly faces the following difficulties:

[0004] 1. The structural interfaces of the old and new systems of the cabinet are incompatible, such as the sizes and layouts of the chassis and various modules, resulting in it being difficult for the cabinet to achieve the simplest transformation of replacing in the original position, and a large number of adapter brackets need to be designed and replaced;

[0005] 2. The transformation of the old system of the cabinet is often carried out during nuclear power plant overhauls, and the transformation time is very limited. It takes a lot of time to disassemble, install, and adapt and adjust the components, cables, and brackets inside the cabinet, and it is difficult to complete the transformation task on time;

[0006] 3. Since the mechanical properties and operability of the transformed cabinet cannot be lower than those of the original system, although there are changes in the internal equipment and installation brackets of the cabinet, the load-bearing structure of the original cabinet cannot be strengthened, making the transformation difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention provides an integrated frame suitable for overall internal transformation and replacement of an industrial control cabinet, which is used to solve the problems of time-consuming disassembly and assembly during cabinet transformation, incompatible structural interfaces, and reduction of the mechanical properties and operability of the cabinet caused by the transformation in the prior art.

[0008] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0009] The present invention proposes an integrated frame suitable for overall internal transformation and replacement of an industrial control cabinet. The device includes a welded frame, a bottom bracket, a top connecting frame, and docking screws.

[0014] In some embodiments, the longitudinal reinforcing beams and transverse reinforcing beams adopt a diamond-shaped distributed hollow design.

[0015] In some embodiments, a chassis is arranged inside the welding frame. The chassis is installed on the columns. Through-wall terminals are arranged on both sides of the chassis. One end of the through-wall terminal is threadedly connected to the butt joint hole of the column, and the other end of the through-wall terminal is connected to the outer frame of the cabinet.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the present invention proposes an integrated frame suitable for the overall renovation and replacement inside the industrial control cabinet 1. The device includes a welded frame, a bottom bracket 4, a top connection frame 5, and docking screws 102. The upper end of the welded frame is connected to the top connection frame 5 through the docking screws 102, and the other side of the top connection frame 5 is docked with the top of the cabinet 1. The lower end of the welded frame is connected to the bottom bracket 4 through the docking screws 102, and the other end of the bottom bracket 4 is docked with the bottom of the cabinet 1.

[0032] The welded frame 2 is composed of components such as welded side frames 502, longitudinal reinforcing beams 7, transverse reinforcing beams 8, and docking reinforcing beams 10. The welded side frame 502 is assembled by welding 2 columns 6 according to the design dimensions with bottom angle plates 9 and top angle plates 11. A hollow area is formed between the two columns 6, which improves the layout space inside the cabinet and reduces the weight of the frame. The column 6 has a "channel" cross-section. The concave area of the column 6 can be used for cable layout, and the column 6 is provided with a wire passing hole 12 and a docking hole 13. The wire passing hole 12 can allow cables to pass through and also reduces the weight of the frame. The docking hole 13 can be used to install a transfer rack 104. The transfer rack 104 is used for installation and matching with electronic devices with 19-inch interfaces. At the same time, the transfer rack 104 provides a direct installation interface for special components, improving the flexibility of device layout inside the cabinet. The bottom angle plates 9 and top angle plates 11 adopt an L-shaped bending structure, and the bearing surface is a trapezoidal structure with a hollow in the middle. The bottom angle plates 9 and top angle plates 11 are welded to the top and bottom of the column 6 respectively, which can strengthen the structural support.

[0033] Weld the two ends of 2 groups of welded side frames 502 to the docking reinforcing beam 10, and weld the longitudinal reinforcing beam 7 and the transverse reinforcing beam 8 between the columns 6 in the height direction of the welded frame to form an integral welded frame 2. The columns 6, longitudinal reinforcing beams 7, and transverse reinforcing beams 8 are all designed with hollowing based on topology optimization. Among them, the column 6 is gradually hollowed from top to bottom according to the position of the reinforcing beam. As shown in the attached Figure 3 drawing, the number of hollows in the four columns 6 of the frame 502 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The number of hollows is the largest between the top end and the welding position of the first layer of reinforcing beam, followed by the number of hollows between the second layer of reinforcing beam and the third layer of reinforcing beam, and there is no hollowing below the welding position of the third layer of reinforcing beam. This is to make the upper part of the column light and the lower part heavy, so that the center of the overall structure of the frame moves down and is more stable. The longitudinal reinforcing beam 7 and the transverse reinforcing beam 8 are hollowed out in a diamond distribution.

[0034] All kinds of devices inside the present invention adopt integral integration. Components such as the chassis 3 are directly installed on the columns 6 of the welding frame 2. Through-wall terminals 103 are provided on both sides of the chassis 3. One end of the through-wall terminal 103 is threadedly connected to the docking hole 13 on the column 6, and the other end is docked with the outer frame 106 of the cabinet. The through-wall terminal 103 connects the integral welding frame 2 with the outer frame of the cabinet 1 into a whole, further strengthening the wiring space inside the cabinet and the seismic performance of the whole cabinet 1. A wire groove assembly 105 is provided at the lower end of the through-wall terminal 103, and the wire groove assembly 105 is threadedly connected to the welding frame 2. The internal cables of the chassis 3, the through-wall terminal 103 and other devices are laid at the bundling points of the welding frame 2 and placed inside the wire groove assembly 105. When carrying out the transformation work, after the integral welding frame 2 integrates all the transformed devices and cables, it is directly installed as a whole inside the original cabinet. The other end of the through-wall terminal 103 is docked with the outer frame 106 of the cabinet, and then the external wire is directly connected to the through-wall terminal 103 to complete the transformation work.

[0035] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the appended claims.
