Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to a modular equipment cabin with an unfoldable maintenance platform and a method for maintaining the equipment thereon. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of fields such as communications, power, and energy, more and more electromechanical equipment is being integrated and installed using modular equipment compartments. Modular equipment compartments typically integrate electromechanical equipment such as transformers, control equipment, and communication equipment into a container structure to facilitate transportation, installation, and on-site deployment.

[0003] During the operation of the equipment compartment, regular maintenance and repairs are required to ensure the normal operation of the internal electromechanical equipment. In existing technologies, maintenance personnel typically need to open the side door of the equipment compartment to enter and operate it, or a fixed maintenance platform is installed outside the equipment compartment to meet equipment maintenance needs.

[0004] However, existing modular equipment compartments still have the following problems: On the one hand, the internal space of the equipment compartment is usually quite compact. After the electromechanical equipment is installed, it is difficult for maintenance personnel to directly maintain the equipment located inside the equipment compartment, especially when the equipment needs to be moved or replaced as a whole, there is a lack of convenient transfer routes. On the other hand, the existing equipment compartment opening structure is usually only used to open the compartment door and cannot form a stable maintenance load-bearing structure after opening. If the opened enclosure is directly used as a maintenance platform, its load-bearing capacity is limited and it is prone to shaking, which poses a safety hazard. Meanwhile, the existing maintenance process relies heavily on manual judgment of platform deployment, guide rail connection, and equipment unlocking status, lacking interlocking control between various actions. This can easily lead to equipment movement due to the structure not being locked in place, affecting maintenance safety. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a modular equipment compartment with a deployable maintenance platform. Through the flipping movement of the movable enclosure assembly, the platform load-bearing transmission of the pulling and locking mechanism, the guide rail docking of the bridging mechanism, and the sequential control of the control module, the sequential actions of enclosure deployment, platform locking, guide rail docking, and equipment unlocking are realized, ensuring the safety of maintenance operations, improving maintenance efficiency, and maintaining the sealing performance and support force transmission performance of the equipment compartment in the closed state.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is a modular equipment compartment with a deployable maintenance platform, comprising: The equipment compartment body is used to accommodate electromechanical equipment. An opening is provided on one side of the equipment compartment body, and an inner guide rail extending to the opening is provided inside the equipment compartment body. The electromechanical equipment is slidably connected to the inner guide rail. A sliding locking mechanism is provided on the inner guide rail for limiting the movement of the electromechanical equipment; A movable enclosure assembly is provided at the opening, including an enclosure panel and an unfolding mechanism connected to the enclosure panel. The unfolding mechanism is used to drive the enclosure panel to flip outward to an unfolded state to form an inspection platform. An outer guide rail is provided on the inner side of the enclosure panel. In the unfolded state, the outer guide rail and the inner guide rail are spaced apart and located on the same straight line. The pull-lock mechanism includes a pull member movably disposed within the equipment compartment body and a locking part disposed on the enclosure panel. When the enclosure panel is in the unfolded state, the pull member is connected to the locking part to pull the enclosure panel. The bridging mechanism includes an overlapping guide rail movably disposed on the equipment compartment body and / or the enclosure plate, and a bridging locking structure for locking the overlapping guide rail. The overlapping guide rail is used to move between the inner guide rail and the outer guide rail when the enclosure plate is in the unfolded state, so that the inner guide rail and the outer guide rail form a continuous sliding channel. A status detection mechanism is used to detect the working status of the pull-lock mechanism and the bridging lock structure; The control module is connected to the bridging mechanism, the sliding locking mechanism and the status detection mechanism respectively. After the bridging locking mechanism is locked in place, it controls the overlapping guide rail to move between the inner guide rail and the outer guide rail. After the bridging locking structure is locked in place, it controls the sliding locking mechanism to release the limit on the electromechanical equipment.

[0007] A further improvement of the modular equipment compartment with an expandable maintenance platform of the present invention is that a sealing ring is connected inside the equipment compartment body, and when the enclosure is in the closed state, the sealing ring abuts against the periphery of the enclosure.

[0008] A further improvement of the modular equipment compartment with a deployable maintenance platform of the present invention is that the deployment mechanism includes: The movable seat has a groove extending to the opening in the equipment compartment body, the movable seat is slidably connected to the groove, and the enclosure plate is rotatably connected to the movable seat; A translational drive component, connected to the movable seat, is used to drive the movable seat to slide outward along the slide groove, so that the enclosure plate disengages from the sealing ring; A flipping drive unit, connected between the enclosure panel and the movable seat, is used to drive the enclosure panel to flip relative to the movable seat after the enclosure panel is disengaged from the sealing ring.

[0009] A further improvement of the modular equipment compartment with an unfoldable maintenance platform of the present invention is that the length of the connecting member is adjustable, one end of the connecting member is hinged to the inner top wall of the equipment compartment body, and the other end is a free end. The locking part is adapted to the free end. The connecting member is used to adjust the length when the enclosure is in the unfolded state, and to connect the free end with the locking part to pull the enclosure.

[0010] A further improvement of the modular equipment compartment with an unfoldable maintenance platform of the present invention is that both the inner guide rail and the outer guide rail are hollow guide rails, the overlapping guide rail is slidably inserted into the inner guide rail, and the bridging mechanism further includes an electric push rod, which is connected to the inner guide rail and the overlapping guide rail, for driving the overlapping guide rail to move along the inner guide rail so that one end of the overlapping guide rail extends out of the inner guide rail and is inserted into the outer guide rail, thereby connecting the inner guide rail and the outer guide rail, and the electric push rod is connected to the control module.

[0011] A further improvement of the modular equipment compartment with an unfoldable maintenance platform in this invention is that the bridging and locking structure includes a first telescopic rod, which is connected to the overlapping guide rail and can extend and retract in a sliding direction perpendicular to the overlapping guide rail. A first slot is provided on the inner wall of the outer guide rail for the first telescopic rod to be inserted. The first telescopic rod is used to extend and insert into the first slot after the overlapping guide rail is moved into place, so as to limit the overlapping guide rail.

[0012] A further improvement of the modular equipment compartment with an unfoldable maintenance platform in this invention is that the status detection mechanism includes a first status detection component and a second status detection component. The first status detection component is disposed at the locking part and is used to detect the connection status between the pull member and the locking part. The second status detection component is disposed at the bridging locking structure and is used to detect the locking status of the overlapping guide rail. The first status detection component and the second status detection component are respectively connected to the control module to send status detection signals to the control module.

[0013] A further improvement of the modular equipment compartment with an expandable maintenance platform of the present invention is that the modular equipment compartment further includes a platform locking mechanism, which is disposed between the enclosure panel and the equipment compartment body, and is used to restrict the movement of the enclosure panel relative to the equipment compartment body when the enclosure panel is in the closed state. The platform locking mechanism is connected to the control module.

[0014] A further improvement of the modular equipment compartment with an expandable maintenance platform of the present invention is that the modular equipment compartment also includes a high-voltage power unit for supplying power to the electromechanical equipment. The power supply module is connected to the control module and is used to control the platform locking mechanism to release the locking of the enclosure plate after the high-voltage power unit disconnects the power supply.

[0015] A method for maintaining equipment in a modular equipment compartment with a deployable maintenance platform, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Provide the modular equipment compartment with the deployable maintenance platform described above; Step 2: Use the control module to control the unfolding mechanism to drive the enclosure to flip and unfold to form a maintenance platform; Step 3: Connect the pull member in the pull-lock mechanism to the locking part provided on the enclosure panel to pull the enclosure panel in the unfolded state, and obtain the locking state of the pull-lock mechanism through the state detection mechanism. Step 4: After the locking mechanism is detected to be locked in place, control the bridging mechanism to move the overlapping guide rail between the inner and outer guide rails, and lock the overlapping guide rail through the bridging locking structure. Step 5: Obtain the locking status of the overlapping guide rail through the status detection mechanism. When the overlapping guide rail is detected to be locked in place, control the sliding locking mechanism to release the limit on the electromechanical equipment. Step 6: Move the electromechanical equipment along the continuous sliding channel formed by the inner guide rail, the overlapping guide rail and the outer guide rail to the maintenance platform for maintenance.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: 1. By setting up an unfolding mechanism to drive the enclosure panel to first translate and then flip, the enclosure panel is separated from the sealing ring before flipping, which avoids shearing wear of the sealing ring and ensures waterproof, dustproof, fireproof and sound insulation performance when closed. 2. By setting up a pull-locking mechanism, the platform load is transferred to the equipment compartment body through the pull-locking parts after the enclosure panel is unfolded, which avoids the load being concentrated on the tilting drive parts and improves the safety and load-bearing capacity of the enclosure panel. 3. By setting up a bridging mechanism and control module, the guide rail can only be connected after the locking mechanism is locked in place, and the limit on the electromechanical equipment can only be released after the bridging locking structure is locked in place. This forces a sequential relationship of platform locking → guide rail docking → equipment unlocking, effectively preventing safety accidents caused by incorrect sequence.

[0024] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0025] The modular equipment compartment with an expandable maintenance platform and its equipment maintenance method of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, the modular equipment compartment with a deployable maintenance platform includes: The equipment compartment body 1 is used to accommodate the electromechanical equipment 5. An opening is provided on one side of the equipment compartment body 1, and an inner guide rail extending to the opening is provided inside the equipment compartment body 1. The electromechanical equipment 5 is slidably connected to the inner guide rail. A sliding locking mechanism is provided on the inner guide rail to limit the movement of the electromechanical equipment 5; A movable enclosure assembly is provided at the opening, including an enclosure panel 2 and an unfolding mechanism connected to the enclosure panel 2. The unfolding mechanism is used to drive the enclosure panel 2 to flip outward to an unfolded state to form an inspection platform. An outer guide rail is provided on the inner side of the enclosure panel 2. In the unfolded state, the outer guide rail and the inner guide rail are spaced apart and located on the same straight line. The pull-lock mechanism includes a pull-connector 3 movably disposed within the equipment compartment body 1 and a locking part 4 disposed on the enclosure 2. When the enclosure 2 is in the unfolded state, the pull-connector 3 is connected to the locking part 4 to pull the enclosure 2. The bridging mechanism includes an overlapping guide rail movably disposed on the equipment compartment body 1 and / or the enclosure panel 2, and a bridging locking structure for locking the overlapping guide rail. The overlapping guide rail is used to move between the inner guide rail and the outer guide rail when the enclosure panel 2 is in the unfolded state, so that the inner guide rail and the outer guide rail form a continuous sliding channel. A status detection mechanism is used to detect the working status of the pull-lock mechanism and the bridging lock structure. The control module is connected to the bridging mechanism, the sliding locking mechanism and the status detection mechanism respectively. After the bridging locking mechanism is locked in place, it controls the overlapping guide rail to move between the inner guide rail and the outer guide rail. After the bridging locking structure is locked in place, it controls the sliding locking mechanism to release the limit on the electromechanical equipment 5.

[0027] Specifically, the control module has a preset maintenance state switching logic. The control module executes control actions in the order of unfolding the enclosure 2, pulling and locking, bridging the guide rail, and unlocking the equipment. When the pulling and locking mechanism is not locked in place, the control module prohibits the control of the bridging mechanism. When the bridging locking structure is not locked in place, the control module prohibits the control of the sliding locking mechanism from releasing the limit, thereby preventing the electromechanical equipment 5 from moving due to the failure of the maintenance platform's load-bearing structure to be formed, and improving the safety of the equipment during maintenance.

[0028] By pre-setting maintenance state switching logic within the control module, the unfolding, locking, guide rail bridging, and equipment unlocking of the enclosure 2 are executed sequentially according to a preset order. The status detection results are used as the trigger conditions for subsequent actions, thereby avoiding premature release of equipment limits before the maintenance platform has formed a stable load-bearing structure or before the movement channel of the electromechanical equipment 5 has been established. This improves the operational safety during equipment maintenance and reduces the risk of enclosure 2 becoming unstable, guide rail misalignment, or abnormal equipment movement due to misoperation.

[0029] Specifically, the equipment compartment body 1 includes a rectangular frame 101, one side of which is movably connected to the enclosure panel 2, and the other sides are fixed with panels 102. The enclosure panel 2 adopts a high-rigidity plate structure and is connected to the unfolding mechanism so as to close the equipment compartment body 1 in the closed state and serve as a maintenance platform to support the electromechanical equipment 5 in the unfolded state.

[0030] By setting the enclosure panel 2 as a high-rigidity plate structure, and making it serve as the enclosure structure of the equipment compartment body 1 in the closed state and convert it into a maintenance platform to support the electromechanical equipment 5 in the unfolded state, the enclosure panel 2 has both protective and load-bearing functions, eliminating the need for an additional independent maintenance platform structure, thereby reducing the overall structural complexity of the equipment compartment and improving the convenience of maintenance of the electromechanical equipment 5 inside the equipment compartment.

[0031] Specifically, the enclosure panel 2 includes a load-bearing frame and a surface layer connected to the load-bearing frame. The load-bearing frame is formed by splicing metal profiles to improve the bending resistance of the enclosure panel 2 after it is unfolded. The surface layer covers the outside of the load-bearing frame to form a continuous load-bearing surface.

[0032] Specifically, there are multiple equipment compartment bodies 1, which are stacked one on top of the other. Each rectangular frame 101 has multiple mounting protrusions connected at intervals on its top, and each rectangular frame 101 has multiple mounting grooves at intervals on its bottom for the mounting protrusions of adjacent equipment compartment bodies 1 to be inserted into one another.

[0033] By setting an installation protrusion on the top of the equipment compartment body 1 and setting an installation groove at the bottom of the equipment compartment body 1 that matches the installation protrusion, adjacent equipment compartment bodies 1 can be quickly positioned and connected by plugging, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and assembly efficiency when multiple equipment compartments are assembled and installed, and enhancing the overall stability after stacking.

[0034] Specifically, the mounting protrusion and the mounting groove adopt a tapered insertion structure. After the mounting protrusion is inserted into the mounting groove, it can restrict the horizontal relative movement between two adjacent equipment compartment bodies 1, so as to improve the overall stability after multiple equipment compartment bodies 1 are stacked and installed.

[0035] Specifically, the outer side of the equipment compartment body 1 located above is also connected to a diagonal brace 6 for connecting to the ground.

[0036] By setting diagonal braces 6 on the outside of the upper equipment compartment body 1 and extending the diagonal braces 6 to connect to the ground, additional support is provided for the stacked equipment compartment bodies 1, limiting the overturning or shaking of the equipment compartment bodies 1 under external forces, and improving the overall stability and safety of multiple equipment compartments after assembly.

[0037] Specifically, after the electromechanical equipment 5 moves to the enclosure panel 2, the control module keeps the pulling locking mechanism and the bridging locking structure in a locked state and prohibits the unfolding mechanism from reversing.

[0038] By keeping the pull-lock mechanism and the bridging lock structure locked after the electromechanical equipment 5 moves to the enclosure plate 2, and restricting the unfolding mechanism from performing reverse actions, the enclosure plate 2 is prevented from undergoing positional changes such as retraction or displacement during maintenance. This ensures a stable connection between the enclosure plate 2 and the guide rail bridging structure, and improves the safety and reliability of the maintenance platform during the load-bearing process.

[0039] Preferably, a sealing ring is connected inside the equipment compartment body 1, and when the enclosure 2 is in the closed state, the sealing ring abuts against the periphery of the enclosure 2.

[0040] By setting this sealing ring and having it abut against the periphery of the enclosure 2 when it is in the closed state, the sealing performance of the connection between the enclosure 2 and the equipment compartment body 1 is improved, preventing moisture, dust and other external environmental factors from entering the equipment compartment, reducing the impact of environmental factors on the operational reliability of the electromechanical equipment 5, and improving the protective capability of the equipment compartment.

[0041] Preferably, the deploying mechanism includes: The movable seat has a groove extending to the opening inside the equipment compartment body 1. The movable seat is slidably connected to the groove, and the enclosure plate 2 is rotatably connected to the movable seat. A translational drive unit, connected to the movable seat, is used to drive the movable seat to slide outward along the slide groove so that the enclosure plate 2 is disengaged from the sealing ring; A flipping drive is connected between the enclosure 2 and the movable seat, and is used to drive the enclosure 2 to flip relative to the movable seat after the enclosure 2 is disengaged from the sealing ring. Specifically, the movable seat has a first position and a second position. The translation drive is a hydraulic rod, one end of which is connected to the equipment compartment body 1 and the other end is connected to the movable seat. When the movable seat is in the first position, the enclosure 2 is in a closed state. When the hydraulic rod extends and drives the movable seat to the second position, the enclosure 2 separates from the sealing ring.

[0042] By setting the first and second positions of the movable seat and using the hydraulic rod to drive the movable seat to switch between the two positions, the enclosure plate 2 can maintain contact with the sealing ring in the closed state and separate from the sealing ring before unfolding. This avoids interference or friction damage between the enclosure plate 2 and the sealing ring during the flipping process, ensuring the smoothness of the unfolding action of the enclosure plate 2 and improving the reliability of the equipment compartment sealing structure.

[0043] Specifically, the unfolding mechanism is connected to the control module. A first displacement sensor is installed inside the hydraulic rod to detect the extension and retraction state of the hydraulic rod. When the moving seat moves to the second position, it sends a translational positioning signal to the control module. The control module controls the hydraulic rod to stop moving according to the translational positioning signal and controls the flipping drive to drive the enclosure panel 2 to flip.

[0044] By installing a first displacement sensor inside the hydraulic rod, the extension and retraction state of the hydraulic rod is detected in real time. The translational movement and flipping action of the enclosure plate 2 are controlled according to the position of the moving seat, thereby preventing the enclosure plate 2 from flipping before it is completely detached from the sealing ring. This ensures the accuracy and continuity of the unfolding mechanism's operation and improves the reliability of the automatic unfolding process of the enclosure plate 2.

[0045] Specifically, the flipping drive includes an electric rotating shaft, and the enclosure panel 2 is rotatably connected to the movable seat via the electric rotating shaft. The electric rotating shaft is connected to the control module. When the movable seat moves to the second position and the control module receives the translation positioning signal, the control module controls the electric rotating shaft to rotate, so as to drive the enclosure panel 2 to flip relative to the movable seat, so that the enclosure panel 2 switches from the closed state to the unfolded state.

[0046] Specifically, the electric rotating shaft has a preset rotation angle, and stops rotating when the enclosure panel 2 rotates to the horizontal unfolded position.

[0047] By setting a preset rotation angle for the electric rotating shaft, the enclosure panel 2 can stop rotating after reaching the horizontal unfolded position, thereby ensuring that the enclosure panel 2 forms a stable horizontal bearing surface and improving the bearing reliability and safety of the maintenance platform.

[0048] Preferably, the length of the connecting member 3 is adjustable. One end of the connecting member 3 is hinged to the inner top wall of the equipment compartment body, and the other end is a free end. The locking part 4 is adapted to the free end. The connecting member 3 is used to adjust the length when the enclosure is in the unfolded state and to connect the free end to the locking part 4 so as to pull the enclosure 2.

[0049] Specifically, the locking part 4 includes a snap-fit ​​seat with a socket for inserting the free end. A second telescopic rod is connected to the free end. A second slot is provided on the inner wall of the socket for inserting the second telescopic rod. When the enclosure panel 2 is in the unfolded state, the operator adjusts the length and position of the pull member 3, inserts the free end of the pull member 3 into the socket, and controls the second telescopic rod to pop out and insert into the second slot, thereby limiting the pull member 3 and realizing the locking connection between the pull member 3 and the enclosure panel 2.

[0050] By setting a second telescopic rod at the free end of the connector 3 and using the second telescopic rod to cooperate with the second slot on the snap-fit ​​seat, a quick locking connection between the connector 3 and the enclosure 2 is achieved, thereby improving the fixing effect of the enclosure 2 after it is unfolded, preventing the enclosure 2 from rotating or displacing under load, and improving the stability of the maintenance platform.

[0051] Specifically, the pull-out member 3 is provided with a control button, which is electrically connected to the second telescopic rod and is used to control the extension or retraction of the second telescopic rod.

[0052] Preferably, both the inner guide rail and the outer guide rail are hollow guide rails. The overlapping guide rail is slidably inserted into the inner guide rail. The bridging mechanism also includes an electric push rod connected to the inner guide rail and the overlapping guide rail. The electric push rod is used to drive the overlapping guide rail to move along the inner guide rail so that one end of the overlapping guide rail extends out of the inner guide rail and is inserted into the outer guide rail, thereby connecting the inner guide rail and the outer guide rail. The electric push rod is connected to the control module.

[0053] Specifically, both sides of the overlapping guide rail are connected to limit blocks, and the inner and outer guide rails are provided with limit grooves on their respective inner walls for the limit blocks to slide.

[0054] By setting limiting blocks on both sides of the overlapping guide rail and setting limiting grooves in the inner and outer guide rails to cooperate with the limiting blocks, the overlapping guide rail is subject to limiting and guiding action during movement, thereby improving the stability of the overlapping guide rail movement, preventing the overlapping guide rail from deviating or shaking, and ensuring that the overlapping guide rail can be accurately inserted between the inner and outer guide rails.

[0055] Specifically, a limit block is provided at one end of the outer guide rail away from the equipment compartment body 1. The limit block is used to abut against the electromechanical equipment 5 when the electromechanical equipment 5 moves to the maintenance position, so as to restrict the electromechanical equipment 5 from continuing to move outward.

[0056] By setting a limiting block at the end of the outer guide rail away from the equipment compartment body 1, the electromechanical equipment 5 can be limited and blocked when it moves along the continuous sliding channel to the maintenance position, thereby preventing the electromechanical equipment 5 from leaving the outer guide rail due to inertia or excessive operation, and improving the safety of the electromechanical equipment 5 during the movement process.

[0057] Preferably, the bridging locking structure includes a first telescopic rod connected to the overlapping guide rail and capable of telescopic extension and retraction in a sliding direction perpendicular to the overlapping guide rail. A first slot is provided on the inner wall of the outer guide rail for the insertion of the first telescopic rod. The first telescopic rod is used to extend and insert into the first slot after the overlapping guide rail has moved into place, so as to limit the overlapping guide rail.

[0058] Specifically, the electric push rod is equipped with a second displacement sensor, which is used to detect the movement position of the overlapping guide rail. When the overlapping guide rail moves to a preset position, the second displacement sensor sends a position signal to the control module, and the control module controls the first telescopic rod to move according to the position signal.

[0059] By detecting the movement position of the overlapping guide rail by the second displacement sensor, the control module can control the first telescopic rod to move after the overlapping guide rail has moved accurately to the preset position, thereby avoiding premature locking when the overlapping guide rail has not fully extended and improving the accuracy and reliability of the bridging mechanism.

[0060] Preferably, the status detection mechanism includes a first status detection component and a second status detection component. The first status detection component is disposed at the locking part 4 and is used to detect the connection status between the pull member 3 and the locking part 4. The second status detection component is disposed at the bridging locking structure and is used to detect the locking status of the overlapping guide rail. The first status detection component and the second status detection component are respectively connected to the control module to send status detection signals to the control module.

[0061] Specifically, the first state detection element is disposed in the second slot and is used to detect whether the second telescopic rod is inserted into the second slot. When the second telescopic rod is inserted into the second slot, the first state detection element sends a pull-lock signal to the control module. The second state detection element is disposed in the first slot and is used to detect whether the first telescopic rod is inserted into the first slot. When the first telescopic rod is inserted into the first slot, the second state detection element sends a bridging lock signal to the control module.

[0062] By placing the first status detection component in the second slot and the second status detection component in the first slot, the insertion status of the second telescopic rod and the first telescopic rod can be directly detected, thereby accurately determining whether the pull-lock mechanism and the bridging lock structure are locked in place. This avoids the control module misjudging the locking status due to the pin not being fully inserted, and improves the reliability of status detection and the safety of equipment operation during the deployment of the maintenance platform.

[0063] Specifically, the first state detection element and the second state detection element can be any one of a pressure sensor, a proximity sensor, or a position sensor.

[0064] Preferably, the modular equipment compartment also includes a platform locking mechanism, which is disposed between the enclosure 2 and the equipment compartment body 1, and is used to restrict the movement of the enclosure 2 relative to the equipment compartment body 1 when the enclosure 2 is in the closed state. The platform locking mechanism is connected to the control module.

[0065] Specifically, the platform locking mechanism includes a third telescopic rod connected inside the equipment compartment body 1. The end face of the enclosure plate 2 is provided with a locking hole for the third telescopic rod to be inserted. The third telescopic rod is connected to the control module.

[0066] By setting the third telescopic rod and the locking hole that cooperates with it, the movement of the enclosure 2 relative to the equipment compartment body 1 can be restricted when the enclosure 2 is in the closed state, thereby improving the connection stability of the enclosure 2 after it is closed.

[0067] Specifically, under normal operating conditions, the third telescopic rod remains inserted into the locking hole, so that the enclosure 2 is fixedly connected to the equipment compartment body 1; when maintenance is required, the control module controls the third telescopic rod to disengage from the locking hole, so that the unfolding mechanism can drive the enclosure 2 to move.

[0068] Preferably, the modular equipment compartment also includes a high-voltage power unit for supplying power to the electromechanical equipment 5. The power supply module is connected to the control module and is used to control the platform locking mechanism to release the locking of the enclosure panel 2 after the power supply to the high-voltage power unit is disconnected.

[0069] Specifically, the power supply module also includes a low-voltage unit for supplying power to the control module, the deployment mechanism, the bridging mechanism, the platform locking mechanism, and the status detection mechanism. The high-voltage unit and the low-voltage unit are set up independently. The high-voltage unit is used to meet the high-power power supply requirements of the electromechanical equipment 5, and the low-voltage unit is used to provide working power to the control, detection, and execution mechanisms.

[0070] Specifically, during the maintenance process, the high-voltage unit is first disconnected to stop the operation of the electromechanical equipment 5; at the same time, the low-voltage unit is kept powered so that the control module can still control the platform locking mechanism, the unfolding mechanism and the bridging mechanism.

[0071] By disconnecting the high-voltage unit during maintenance, the electromechanical equipment 5 can be stopped from operating, thus preventing accidents caused by accidental start-up and ensuring the personal safety of maintenance personnel. At the same time, the low-voltage unit is kept powered, allowing the control module to still control the platform locking mechanism, the deployment mechanism, and the bridging mechanism. This ensures that the maintenance platform can be deployed and set up while the equipment is powered off, improving the safety and ease of operation during maintenance.

[0072] A method for maintaining equipment in a modular equipment compartment with a deployable maintenance platform, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Provide the modular equipment compartment with the deployable maintenance platform described above; Step 2: Use the control module to control the unfolding mechanism to drive the enclosure panel 2 to flip into the unfolded state to form a maintenance platform; Step 3: Connect the pull member 3 in the pull-lock mechanism to the locking part 4 provided on the enclosure panel 2 to pull the enclosure panel 2 in the unfolded state, and obtain the locking state of the pull-lock mechanism through the state detection mechanism. Step 4: After the locking mechanism is detected to be locked in place, control the bridging mechanism to move the overlapping guide rail between the inner and outer guide rails, and lock the overlapping guide rail through the bridging locking structure. Step 5: Obtain the locking status of the overlapping guide rail through the status detection mechanism. When the overlapping guide rail is detected to be locked in place, control the sliding locking mechanism to release the limit on the electromechanical equipment 5.
