DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] The locking mechanism structure of the power cabinet in this embodiment can be found in Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a cabinet door 1, a fixing plate 2 and a mounting shaft 5; the fixing plate 2 is fixed to the outside of the cabinet door 1, a lock 3 is installed on the fixing plate 2, and a handle 4 is arranged on the front outside of the fixing plate 2; the mounting shaft 5 is rotatably mounted on the fixing plate 2, the handle 4 is fixed to the outer end of the mounting shaft 5, the inner end of the mounting shaft 5 passes through the cabinet door 1 and a driving plate 6 is fixed to the end, an arc gear 7 is sleeved and fixed in the middle of the mounting shaft 5, the arc gear 7 is meshed with a rack 8 that can move up and down, and a baffle 9 for shielding the outside of the lock 3 is fixedly connected to the rack 8; the driving plate 6 is linked to the switch control member 10, and the switch control member 10 is used to connect the power switch in the power cabinet; with the structure in this embodiment, the handle 4 is in the initial position When the lock 3 is in the locked state, the baffle 9 blocks the lock 3. When the lock 3 needs to be opened, the handle 4 needs to be turned. In the process of turning the handle 4, the arc gear 7 is driven to rotate, and then the arc gear 7 is meshed with the rack 8, thereby driving the baffle 9 to move so that the key hole on the lock 3 is exposed. At the same time, in the process of turning the handle 4, the driving plate 6 is driven to rotate and the switch control component 10 is driven to move, so that the power switch in the power cabinet is controlled by the switch control component to switch to off, so that the purpose of disconnecting the power supply before the cabinet door 1 is opened can be achieved, so that the operational safety can be guaranteed, thereby greatly reducing the potential safety hazards; if this function is not needed in actual use, the switch control component 10 can be connected to the power switch, so that the switch control component 10 will not drive the power switch state to switch when it is active.

[0022] In a further solution, a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is mounted on the mounting shaft 5, and the torsion spring always provides a reset force for the handle 4 to rotate toward the initial position. When the handle 4 is in the initial position, the baffle 9 blocks the lock 3; when the handle 4 is rotated to drive the baffle 9 to move away from the position of blocking the lock 3, the torsion spring is gradually compressed to store energy.

[0023] Exemplarily, one end of the torsion spring is connected to the arc gear 7 , and the other end is connected to the fixed plate 2 , so that the elastic torque transmitted by the torsion spring to the arc gear 7 can be transmitted to the handle 4 , thereby providing a reset elastic force for the handle 4 .

[0024] Furthermore, in order to guide and limit the baffle 9, in this embodiment, sliding grooves 21 are opened on both sides of the fixed plate 2, and sliders 91 slidingly connected to the two sliding grooves 21 are respectively provided on both sides of the baffle 9. The baffle 9 can be guided and limited by cooperating with the sliders 91 and the sliding grooves 21, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure.

[0025] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, in order to prevent the torsion spring from leaking out and impurities from easily adhering to the torsion spring, a blocking cover 11 is provided on the installation shaft 5 to shield the torsion spring from the outside, and a cavity for accommodating the torsion spring is provided inside the blocking cover 11.

[0026] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, a connecting pin 61 is fixed on the driving plate 6 at an eccentric position, and a strip hole 101 is provided on the switch control member 10. The connecting pin 61 is inserted into the strip hole 101, and the switch control member 10 is movably arranged on the inner side of the cabinet door 1, so that when the handle 4 drives the mounting shaft 5 to rotate, the connecting pin 61 moves relatively in the strip hole 101 and drives the switch control member 10 to move. When the switch control member 10 moves, the switching state of the power switch is controlled. The end of the switch control member 10 away from the strip hole 101 can be arranged on the sleeve hole 102 on which the pull handle of the power switch is sleeved. When the switch control member 10 moves, the side wall of the sleeve hole 102 applies a thrust to the handle of the power switch to switch the state of the power switch.
