Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power distribution cabinets, and in particular to a modular power distribution cabinet bracket and a power distribution cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] The existing distribution cabinet contains multiple enclosures, each housing corresponding functional components such as an electrical integrity monitor, power supply, and terminals. These enclosures are arranged from top to bottom within the cabinet, forming the functional components for the terminals, electrical integrity monitor, and power supply. In addition, the cabinet also contains multiple indicator panels. These panels work in conjunction with functional components located remotely outside the cabinet. After measuring data, the remote components transmit the data back to the cabinet, where the results are displayed via lights or screens on the indicator panels. This allows the operator to easily obtain measurement results from remote components from the nearest cabinet.

[0003] The layout of the indicator panel and the enclosure within the distribution cabinet is similar, arranged from top to bottom. This creates an interactive side facing the operator at the front opening of the cabinet. On the other side of the cabinet, cable ports are located on the rear panel. Cables within the cabinet are arranged from top to bottom along the rear panel and connected to their respective ports. The problem with this layout is that, because the indicator panel has a light-panel-like structure and its thickness is smaller than the enclosure, the side of the indicator panel corresponding to the rear panel cannot be flush with it. The cables within the distribution cabinet need to be laid on a relatively flat mating surface to create a clear and easily identifiable cable arrangement. The size of the indicator panel prevents it from being flush with the rear panel, hindering cable routing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] On the one hand, the present invention provides a modular power distribution cabinet bracket, which can form a relatively flat mating surface extending from top to bottom in the area of ​​the rear panel of the corresponding box in the power distribution cabinet, so as to facilitate the cable arrangement from top to bottom at the rear panel of the two boxes.

[0005] The modular power distribution cabinet bracket provided by the present invention includes a snap-fit ​​part, a first bracket member, and a baffle. A plurality of the snap-fit ​​parts are spaced apart on the side wall of the power distribution cabinet along the arrangement direction of the cabinet body inside the power distribution cabinet. The first bracket member is detachably engaged with the snap-fit ​​parts. The baffle is located inside the power distribution cabinet near the rear panel of the cabinet body and is arranged sequentially with the rear panel of the cabinet body along the arrangement direction of the cabinet body inside the power distribution cabinet. The baffle is detachably engaged with the first bracket member.

[0006] Furthermore, several of the aforementioned snap-fit ​​portions are spaced apart on the first mounting component that is detachably fitted with the mating cabinet.

[0007] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​portion includes a mounting hole on the first mounting member that can mate with a snap-fit ​​nut. One end of the first bracket member is provided with a first through hole that corresponds to the mounting hole and can allow a bolt to pass through. The other end is provided with a third mating surface. The baffle abuts against the third mating surface and is connected to the first bracket member by a screw connection.

[0008] Furthermore, the modular distribution cabinet bracket also includes a second bracket component. One end of the second bracket component is provided with a second through hole that corresponds to the mounting hole and can pass through a bolt. The other end is provided with a first mating surface that can abut against the bottom end face of the cabinet. The end of the second bracket near the first mating surface is provided with a second mating surface. The cabinet can slide along the first mating surface until the rear end face of the cabinet abuts against the second mating surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the baffle is flush with the rear end face of the housing.

[0010] Furthermore, two connection holes are spaced apart on the third mating surface along the arrangement direction of the enclosure inside the power distribution cabinet, and each connection hole corresponds to one baffle.

[0011] Furthermore, the two first brackets are symmetrically mounted on two opposite side walls of the power distribution cabinet by screws.

[0012] Furthermore, the distribution cabinet has a rear opening corresponding to the rear end face of the enclosure, a wiring port is provided on the rear end face of the enclosure, and a wiring terminal is provided on the baffle. The wiring terminal has an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end is located on the side of the baffle facing the rear opening, and the outlet end is located on the side of the baffle facing the front opening.

[0013] Furthermore, a second mounting component is provided on the side wall of the power distribution cabinet between the rear opening and the first mounting component, and a plurality of cable clips are provided on the second mounting component at intervals along the arrangement direction of the cabinet inside the power distribution cabinet.

[0014] The power distribution cabinet provided by the present invention includes functional elements and indicator panels. The functional elements are located in the housing of the modular power distribution cabinet support as described in any of the above claims, and the indicator panels are arranged sequentially in the power distribution cabinet along the arrangement direction of the housing within the power distribution cabinet.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] The distribution cabinet in this solution is equipped with a baffle, which corresponds to the indicator panel. When there is an indicator panel in the distribution cabinet from top to bottom, such as when there is an indicator panel between the box containing the electrical integrity monitor and the power supply, a baffle is installed between the rear panels of the two boxes in the distribution cabinet. The baffle is close to the rear panel of the box, so that the gap between the rear panels of the two boxes is closed by the baffle. The two rear panels and the baffle form a relatively flat mating surface that extends from top to bottom in the distribution cabinet, so that the cables can be arranged from top to bottom at the rear panel of the box.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] Example

[0024] A modular power distribution cabinet bracket includes a snap-fit ​​part 6, a first support member 10, and a baffle 5. Several snap-fit ​​parts 6 are spaced apart on the side wall 4 of the power distribution cabinet 1 along the arrangement direction of the cabinet 2 inside the power distribution cabinet 1. The first support member 10 is detachably engaged with the snap-fit ​​part 6. The baffle 5 is located inside the power distribution cabinet 1 near the rear panel of the cabinet 2 and is arranged sequentially along the arrangement direction of the cabinet 2 inside the power distribution cabinet 1 and the rear panel of the cabinet 2. The baffle 5 is detachably engaged with the first support member 10.

[0025] To ensure a relatively flat mating surface at the rear panel of the enclosure 2 when an indicator plate 3 is installed inside the distribution cabinet 1, a baffle 5 structure is provided inside the distribution cabinet 1 in this solution. The baffle 5 is set corresponding to the indicator plate 3. When there is an indicator plate 3 inside the distribution cabinet 1 from top to bottom, such as when there is an indicator plate 3 between the enclosures 2 containing the electrical integrity monitor and the power supply, a baffle 5 is provided inside the distribution cabinet 1 at the position between the rear panels of the two enclosures 2. The baffle 5 is close to the rear panel of the enclosure 2, so that the gap between the rear panels of the two enclosures 2 is closed by the baffle 5. The two rear panels and the baffle 5 form a relatively flat mating surface extending from top to bottom inside the distribution cabinet 1, so that the cables can be arranged from top to bottom at the rear panels of the two enclosures 2.

[0026] Preferably, the baffle 5 is flush with the rear end face 11 of the housing 2.

[0027] In one alternative embodiment, a plurality of snap-fit ​​portions 6 are spaced apart on a first mounting member 7 that is detachably fitted with the cabinet.

[0028] Specifically, the baffle 5 is connected to the power distribution cabinet 1 via the first bracket 10. Several snap-fit ​​parts 6 are arranged from top to bottom on the side wall 4 of the power distribution cabinet 1. The first bracket 10 and the snap-fit ​​parts 6 are detachably connected, and the baffle 5 and the first bracket 10 are detachably connected.

[0029] Preferably, for ease of installation, a first mounting component 7 is provided inside the cabinet. The first mounting component 7 is a strip-shaped structure that is connected to the side wall 4 of the distribution cabinet 1 by screws. A snap-fit ​​part 6 is provided on the first mounting component 7 and is connected to the distribution cabinet 1 through the first mounting component 7. This avoids the problem of having to connect each snap-fit ​​part 6 to the distribution cabinet 1 separately, which would require too many connection structures such as screw holes on the distribution cabinet 1.

[0030] In one optional embodiment, the snap-fit ​​part 6 includes a mounting hole 8 formed on the first mounting member 7 that can cooperate with a snap-fit ​​nut. One end of the first bracket member 10 is provided with a first through hole that corresponds to the mounting hole 8 and can pass through a bolt. The other end is provided with a third mating surface 13. The baffle 5 abuts against the third mating surface 13 and is connected to the first bracket member 10 by screwing.

[0031] Mounting holes 8 are spaced apart from top to bottom on the first mounting member 7. Each clip nut has a snap-fit ​​structure at one end, which can engage with the edge of the mounting hole 8, thus forming a screw hole on the first mounting member 7. The first bracket member 10 is bent into an L-shape, so that one plate is parallel to the side wall 4 of the distribution cabinet 1, and the other plate is parallel to the rear plate of the enclosure 2. The plate of the first mounting member 7 near the side wall 4 has a first through hole, and the first bracket member 10 is engaged with the clip nut by bolts. The other plate forms a third mating surface 13 parallel to the rear plate of the enclosure 2. The baffle 5 abuts against the third mating surface 13 and is connected to the first bracket member 10 by screws, so that the baffle 5 is parallel to the rear plate of the enclosure 2, and the rear plate of the enclosure 2 and the baffle 5 form a relatively flat mating surface.

[0032] Preferably, two connection holes are provided at intervals on the third mating surface 13 along the arrangement direction of the enclosure 2 in the distribution cabinet 1, and each connection hole corresponds to a baffle 5. When multiple indicator plates 3 are arranged continuously from top to bottom, the baffles 5 at the corresponding positions are also arranged continuously from top to bottom. Therefore, multiple first support members 10 are arranged at intervals from top to bottom, and a baffle 5 is provided between every two first support members 10.

[0033] Preferably, two first mounting parts 7 are symmetrically mounted on two opposite side walls 4 of the distribution cabinet 1 by screws, and a number of first support parts 10 are symmetrically arranged on the two first mounting parts 7, that is, each baffle 5 has four screw holes and is connected to four first support parts 10.

[0034] In one optional embodiment, the modular distribution cabinet bracket further includes a second bracket 9. One end of the second bracket 9 is provided with a second through hole that corresponds to the mounting hole 8 and can pass through a bolt. The other end is provided with a first mating surface 12 that can abut against the bottom end face of the cabinet 2. The second bracket is provided with a second mating surface at the end near the first mating surface 12. The cabinet 2 can slide along the first mating surface 12 until the rear end face 11 of the cabinet 2 abuts against the second mating surface.

[0035] The enclosure 2 is connected to the distribution cabinet 1 via the second bracket 9. Specifically, the second bracket 9 is connected to the first mounting component 7. A retaining nut is embedded in the mounting hole 8 on the first mounting component 7. A second through hole is opened on the second bracket 9, and the retaining nut is engaged by a bolt. The second support member 9 is bent to form an L-structure, so that one of the plates is parallel to the side wall 4 of the distribution cabinet 1. A second through hole is opened on the plate, which is engaged with a bolt and a clip nut. A first mating surface 12 is formed on the other plate. The first mating surface 12 and the bottom end face of the box 2 form a slide rail, so that the box 2 can be moved into the distribution cabinet from the front opening and then slide into position on the first mating surface 12. In this solution, the sliding position is reached when the box 2 slides to a preset position where the next wiring process can be carried out. Specifically, in order to facilitate the determination of the sliding position of the box 2, the end of the plate with the first mating surface 12 near the rear opening of the distribution cabinet 1 is bent to form a second mating surface. The box 2 can slide along the first mating surface 12 until its rear end face 11 abuts against the second mating surface. At this time, the box 2 is confirmed to be in position.

[0036] In one optional embodiment, the distribution cabinet 1 has a rear opening corresponding to the rear end face 11 of the enclosure 2. The rear end face 11 of the enclosure 2 is provided with a wiring port, and the baffle 5 is provided with a wiring terminal. The wiring terminal has an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end is located on the side of the baffle 5 facing the rear opening, and the outlet end is located on the side of the baffle 5 facing the front opening.

[0037] The distribution cabinet 1 has a front opening and a rear opening. The side wall 4 panels are located between the front opening and the rear opening. That is, the two opposite side wall 4 panels and the upper and lower end panels enclose the cabinet of the distribution cabinet 1 with openings at both ends. When the cabinet 2 and the indicator plate 3 are located inside the distribution cabinet 1, the rear end face 11 of the cabinet 2 arranged from top to bottom forms a cable arrangement area between it and the rear opening of the distribution cabinet 1. The indicator plate 3 and the front end face of the cabinet 2 face the front opening of the distribution cabinet 1 to form an interactive side facing the operator.

[0038] When multiple indicator plates 3 are arranged continuously from top to bottom, corresponding baffles 5 are also arranged continuously from top to bottom. A relatively independent space is formed between the baffles 5 and the indicator plates 3. To facilitate the cable arrangement of the indicator plates 3, at least one baffle 5 is provided with a terminal block. The cable is electrically connected to the inlet end of the terminal block, and then electrically connected to each indicator plate 3 through the cable outlet end of the terminal block.

[0039] When assembling the indicator plate 3, first connect the indicator plate 3 to the power distribution cabinet 1, then connect the cables at the output end of the wiring terminal on the baffle 5 to each indicator plate 3, then connect the baffle 5 to the power distribution cabinet 1, and finally connect the cables in the power distribution cabinet 1 to the input end of the wiring terminal.

[0040] In one optional embodiment, a second mounting component is provided on the side wall 4 of the power distribution cabinet 1 between the rear opening and the first support component 10. The second mounting component is provided with a number of cable clips at intervals along the arrangement direction of the cabinet 2 inside the power distribution cabinet 1.

[0041] The second mounting component is arranged parallel to the first mounting component 7, which is also a strip-shaped structure extending downwards within the distribution cabinet 1 and connected to the side wall 4 of the distribution cabinet 1 by screws. Several cable clips are arranged on the second mounting component from top to bottom using screws or clips. Their function is to secure the cables, allowing them to be arranged from top to bottom within the distribution area of ​​the distribution cabinet 1 without tangling. When the cables on the second mounting component pass through the corresponding enclosure 2 or baffle 5, they extend laterally to the cable port on the rear panel of the enclosure 2; when the cables pass through the baffle 5 equipped with terminals, they extend laterally to the connection terminal.
