Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of status indicator boards, and in particular relates to a status indicator plate. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of large manufacturing enterprises, various equipment and various pipeline valves need to be used at the same time, and the equipment and pipeline valves are not in the same state at the same time. At the same time, some equipment may be in production operation, some equipment may be in standby, some equipment may be in shutdown, and some equipment may be in maintenance. The simultaneous existence of multiple equipment states, and the status of some equipment and valves is not clear at a glance, has caused the complexity of production site management. Especially in enterprises with shift production, the production personnel who take over may not be able to understand the status of the equipment in time, which further increases the complexity of production site management. The equipment status indicator is the most direct and effective tool for transmitting equipment status information, so that all relevant personnel at the production site can always understand the status of the equipment associated with them.

[0003] With the increasing popularity of visual management concepts, equipment status signs have been widely used in the daily production management of manufacturing enterprises. However, most equipment status signs are single-state signs. Even multi-state switchable signs mostly have the problem that the identification status cannot be self-locked. Under the influence of equipment vibration or other external factors (such as magnetic fields), the indication status is switched unintentionally. Due to design defects or inconvenience in use, it is easy for equipment operators to be unwilling to use or even give up using equipment status signs, resulting in failure of equipment status information transmission and management difficulties. Ultimately, the risk of production site management increases, which may cause equipment misoperation and even personal injury to operators.

[0004] Chinese patent CN201620659324.0 discloses a device status indicator, including a chassis, a status disk, and a mask. The status disk is divided into multiple areas, each area is painted with a different color, a visual window is provided above the mask, a magnet is fixed above the chassis, an iron block is fixed on the back of each status area of ​​the status disk, the magnet and the iron block attract each other, and the indicated status position is fixed, and there is a protruding rotating bar on the edge of the status disk. This scheme can change the status words displayed in the visual window by adjusting the rotating bar, and fix the indicated position by the mutual attraction between the magnet above the chassis and the iron block on the back of the status disk. However, the device status indicator of this scheme is easily affected by the magnetic field and is not suitable for magnetic field-related equipment such as magnetic field generating equipment.

[0022] Example:

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present embodiment provides a status indicator plate, including a chassis 1, a status plate 2 and a mask 3. The status plate 2 is arranged between the chassis 1 and the mask 3, so that the entire status indicator plate can be installed at a specified position through the status plate 2. The front of the status plate 2 is provided with a plurality of status display areas distributed in a ring shape. Preferably, all the status display areas are evenly distributed on the front of the status plate 2 and evenly arranged, which is convenient for the layout of the device structure. A visual window is provided on the mask 3 for convenient observation of a status display area. The content displayed in the status display area through the visual window is the current status of the device, while the other status display areas are blocked by the mask 3 to avoid interference with the status display. A circular protrusion 101 connected to the mask 3 is provided in the middle of the front of the chassis 1, and the connection here It can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection, such as an integral connection, welding or bolt connection, etc. The stability of the mask 3 is ensured by the chassis 1, and the status disk 2 is a ring structure that matches and is sleeved on the outside of the circular protrusion 101, so that the status disk 2 and the circular protrusion 101 can rotate relative to each other, and then the status display area corresponding to the visual window is adjusted by rotating the status disk 2 to display the state that the operator wants to display, and the status disk 2 is elastically connected with the circular protrusion 101 along its circumferential direction, so that in the natural state, the status disk 2 is elastically connected to ensure stability, thereby avoiding accidental rotation of the status disk 2, etc., and during operation, the operator applies force to the circumferential direction of the status disk 2 to control the rotation of the status disk 2, thereby adjusting the display effect of this status indicator disk.

[0024] Preferably, the thickness of the status disk 2 is smaller than the thickness of the circular protrusion 101, so that the friction generated when the status disk 2 rotates between the chassis 1 and the mask 3 can be reduced, the loss of the equipment can be reduced, and the operator can adjust the display status more easily.

[0025] The utility model is provided with a circular protrusion 101 connected to the mask 3 in the middle of the front side of the chassis 1, and the stability of the mask 3 is ensured by the chassis 1, and the status disk 2 is elastically connected with the circular protrusion 101 along its circumferential direction, so that the stability of the status disk 2 is ensured by the elastic connection in the natural state, and the status disk 2 is prevented from accidentally rotating due to the influence of the magnetic field or vibration, etc. During operation, the operator applies force to the circumferential direction of the status disk 2 to control the status disk 2 to rotate, and then adjust the display effect of the status indicator disk, which is simple and practical to operate.

[0026] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that an elastic positioning plate 4 extending radially thereof is installed on the status disk 2, and a plurality of positioning grooves 201 distributed along the circumferential direction are provided on the inner wall of the status disk 2. One end of the elastic positioning plate 4 is elastically snapped into a positioning groove 201. At the same time, with the rotation of the status disk 2, the elastic positioning plate 4 and each positioning groove 201 can be accurately matched and positioned; each positioning groove is arranged corresponding to a status display area, that is, whenever one end of the elastic positioning plate 4 is elastically snapped into a positioning groove 201, the visible window just corresponds to a status display area, so that each time the status disk 2 is adjusted, a status display effect can be easily changed, so that the current device status can be observed accurately and clearly.

[0027] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that one end of the elastic positioning plate 4 is an arc-shaped plate structure, so that the side of the elastic positioning plate 4 facing the positioning groove 201 can be an arc-shaped surface, and when one end of the elastic positioning plate 4 is elastically clamped in the positioning groove 201, the length of one end of the elastic positioning plate 4 extending into the positioning groove 201 is less than the arc depth of the arc plate structure. In this way, when the rotating state disk 2 makes the elastic positioning plate 4 disengage from the positioning groove 201, the position where the elastic positioning plate 4 contacts is an arc-shaped surface. In this way, the reverse force of the positioning groove 201 can also be utilized, so that the elastic positioning plate 4 can be disengaged from the positioning groove 201 under the elastic effect, and it will not be stuck, thereby realizing the adjustment of the display state.

[0028] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that a mounting groove extending radially thereof is provided on the front side of the circular protrusion 101, and the elastic positioning plate 4 elastically slides in the mounting groove to limit the elastic positioning plate 4, thereby ensuring that the elastic positioning plate 4 can stably slide along the radial direction of the circular protrusion 101, and at the same time, the mask 3 can also be in contact with the surface of the circular protrusion 101, thereby further enhancing the stability of the mask 3, making the fixation of the mask 3 simpler, and also making the overall thickness not too thick, thereby reducing the overall weight. One end of the mounting groove is an open end that passes through the circular protrusion 101, so that one end of the elastic positioning plate 4 can pass through the open end and elastically engage with the positioning groove 201.

[0029] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the elastic positioning plate 4 includes a positioning plate 401 and a spring 402. The positioning plate 401 is slidably connected to the installation groove, and one end of the positioning plate 401 is clamped in a positioning groove 201. The two ends of the spring 402 are respectively abutted against the other end of the positioning plate 401 and the other end of the installation groove. Under normal circumstances, the spring 402 is in a compressed state, and it itself has an elastic force that pushes the positioning plate 401 toward the positioning groove 201. When the installation groove corresponds to the positioning groove 201, the positioning plate 401 can slide under the action of the elastic force, thereby causing one end of the positioning plate 401 to be clamped in a positioning groove 201. When the display state needs to be switched, the operator only needs to rotate the state disk 2, and the positioning groove 201 on the state disk 2 is squeezed into the installation groove. The positioning plate 401 can be rotated until the positioning plate 401 is completely retracted into the installation groove, and the status disk 2 can be rotated. When the installation groove corresponds to the next positioning groove 201, the positioning plate 401 slides again under the action of elastic force to realize the positioning of the status disk 2 and the switching of the display status; the length of the positioning plate 401 is not greater than the length of the installation groove, so that the positioning plate 401 can slide in the installation groove and be completely retracted into the installation groove without affecting the rotation of the status disk 2; the thickness of the positioning plate 401 is not greater than the groove depth of the installation groove, so that the mask 3 can be in contact with the circular protrusion 101 surface, further enhancing the stability of the mask 3, making the fixing of the mask 3 simpler, and also reducing the friction generated when the positioning plate 401 slides, avoiding the positioning plate 401 from being stuck between the chassis 1 and the mask 3 due to friction.

[0030] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the other end of the positioning plate 401 is provided with an extension plate portion that slides in the installation groove. The extension plate portion is spaced apart from the other end of the installation groove, leaving a gap for the positioning plate 401 to slide in the installation groove. One end of the spring 402 is sleeved on the outside of the extension plate portion, which can enhance the stability of the spring 402 and reduce the possibility of bending of the spring 402.

[0031] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the positioning plate 401 includes a positioning plate portion, a limiting plate portion and the extending plate portion which are connected in sequence from one end to the other end, and one end of the positioning plate portion is an arc-shaped plate structure elastically snapped into the positioning groove 201, and the mounting groove includes a first mounting groove section corresponding to the positioning plate portion, a second mounting groove section corresponding to the limiting plate portion and a third mounting groove section corresponding to the extending plate portion, and the length of the second mounting groove section is greater than the length of the limiting plate portion, so that the limiting plate portion can only slide in the second mounting groove section, thereby ensuring the stability of the positioning plate 401 in the mounting groove, and at the same time, the sliding distance of the limiting plate portion in the second mounting groove section can also be used to limit the sliding range of the entire positioning groove 201, so that the positioning groove 201 can be snapped into place with the positioning groove 201, and can also be completely withdrawn from the positioning groove 201.

[0032] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that at least one L-shaped toggle rod 202 is connected to the edge of the status disk 2, one end of the L-shaped toggle rod 202 is located on the front of the mask 3 and is spaced apart from the mask 3. Preferably, one end of the L-shaped toggle rod 202 is parallel to the mask 3, so that the entire device is more regular, and the other end of the L-shaped toggle rod 202 is located on the outside of the mask 3, and then when the status disk 2 needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to toggle the L-shaped toggle rod 202 to rotate the status disk 2, so that the rotation adjustment of the status disk 2 is more convenient.

[0033] Preferably, two L-shaped toggle rods 202 are provided, and the two L-shaped toggle rods 202 are symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the status disk 2, and the visual window and the status disk 2 are located on a straight line perpendicular to each other. This can make the overall structure more regular, the appearance is better, and the operation of the status disk 2 is easier.

[0034] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the positioning groove 201 is an arc groove, which is simple to process, and when the status disk 2 rotates, it is ensured that the inner wall of the arc groove can push the elastic positioning plate 4 in the reverse direction, so that the elastic positioning plate 4 can retract into the circular protrusion 101, thereby realizing the rotation of the status disk 2.

[0035] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that at least two connecting plates 102 are arranged on the chassis 1, and each connecting plate 102 is provided with a connecting hole for facilitating its installation on an external device through a connecting member (such as a screw), thereby facilitating the installation of the status indicator panel.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
