[0033] Embodiment 1:

[0034] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model describes the above technical solution in detail through the following embodiments:

[0035] A high - security power distribution cabinet with an automatic pressure - relief function, comprising:

[0036] A cabinet body 1, in which various power distribution devices are installed. Above the cabinet body 1, several pressure - relief devices 2 are provided through a top frame 14. Several reinforcing beams 15 are arranged in the top frame 14. The reinforcing beams 15 divide the interior of the top frame 14 into several spaces, and each pressure - relief device 2 corresponds to one space.

[0037] The top frame 14 and the reinforcing beams 15 are fixedly connected by metal screws, and the position of the reinforcing beams 15 can be adjusted.

[0038] The cabinet body 1 further includes columns 13. An outer shell 11 is welded to the outside of the columns 13. A cabinet door 12 is rotatably installed at the front - side opening of the outer shell 11 through a hinge.

[0039] The space inside the outer shell 11 is used to install power distribution devices, and the cabinet door 12 is used to seal the cabinet body 1. The top frame 14 is fixedly installed at the top of the columns 13 by screws or welding.

[0040] The pressure - relief device 2 includes a fixing plate 21. A pressure - relief plate 24 is rotatably installed at the center of the fixing plate 21 through a rotating cover plate 23. A bypass groove 22 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 21 close to the locking assembly 3. The bypass groove 22 has three openings. The head of the pressure - relief plate 24 is fixedly connected to the side opening of the bypass groove 22 through the locking assembly 3. An unlocking assembly 4 is arranged in the bypass groove 22.

[0041] The fixing plate 21 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the top frame 14 by metal screws. The reinforcing beam 15 is located below the junction of two adjacent fixing plates 21 and is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 21 by metal screws.

[0042] A square through - hole is provided at the center of the fixing plate 21. The pressure - relief plate 24 is located in the central through - hole of the fixing plate 21. The tail part of the pressure - relief plate 24 is a cylinder, and the head part of the pressure - relief plate 24 is a square metal plate. There are two rotating cover plates 23. The two rotating cover plates 23 are fixedly installed on the top and bottom surfaces of the fixing plate 21 and clamp the tail part of the pressure - relief plate 24. The pressure - relief plate 24 can rotate up and down under the clamping of the two rotating cover plates 23 by using the cylinder at the tail.

[0043] A limiting plate 25 is provided below the joint of the fixing plate 21 and the pressure - relief plate 24.

[0044] The limiting plate 25 is in an inverted - U shape and is welded below the fixing plate 21. The limiting plate 25 is used for sealing the joint of the fixing plate 21 and the pressure - relief plate 24. At the same time, the limiting plate 25 can prevent the pressure - relief plate 24 from rotating downwards.

[0045] A rotating limiting plate 26 is welded below the pressure - relief plate 24. The rotating limiting plate 26 is in a fan - shape and is used to limit the upward rotation angle of the pressure - relief plate 24.

[0046] When the pressure relief plate 24 rotates upward, the rotation limit plate 26 will rotate upward with the pressure relief plate 24 until the bottom of the rotation limit plate 26 abuts against the limit plate 25, thereby stopping the rotation, and then stopping the rotation of the pressure relief plate 24, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the pressure relief plate 24. At the same time, the rotation limit plate 26 can limit the high-pressure gas from being discharged from both sides of the pressure relief plate 24.

[0047] A plurality of locking holes 27 are provided on a side of the pressure relief plate 24 away from the rotating cover plate 23 , and a limiting groove 28 is provided above the locking holes 27 .

[0048] The locking hole 27 is a circular hole, and the limiting groove 28 is a waist-shaped hole. The width of the limiting groove 28 is smaller than the inner diameter of the locking hole 27.

[0049] The locking assembly 3 includes a locking tongue 31, which is connected to the bypass groove 22 to lock the rotating cover plate 23. The locking tongue 31 is slidably installed in the lock hole 27, and an unlocking stud 32 is threadedly installed on the upper end of the lock tongue 31. The unlocking stud 32 passes through the limiting groove 28. A locking spring 33 is clamped and installed at the rear end of the lock tongue 31, and the locking spring 33 is located in the lock hole 27.

[0050] The tail end of the locking spring 33 abuts against the inner end surface of the lock hole 27, and the elastic force of the locking spring 33 drives the lock tongue 31 to slide outside the lock hole 27, while the unlocking stud 32 can prevent the lock tongue 31 from completely sliding out. Under normal pressure, the lock tongue 31 is inserted into the bypass groove 22, which can prevent the pressure relief plate 24 from rotating upward, and cooperates with the limit plate 25 to limit the rotation of the pressure relief plate 24. At the same time, the elastic force of the locking spring 33 can prevent the lock tongue 31 from accidentally sliding out of the bypass groove 22.

[0051] Applying a force toward the locking spring 33 to the unlocking stud 32 can drive the locking tongue 31 to slide in the direction of the locking spring 33, compressing the locking spring 33. When the unlocking stud 32 slides to the rear end of the limiting groove 28, the locking tongue 31 is completely received in the lock hole 27.

[0052] The unlocking assembly 4 includes an unlocking piston 42 , which is slidably installed in the bypass groove 22 . The unlocking piston 42 is used to push the locking tongue 31 out of the bypass groove 22 to release the connection between the two.

[0053] When high-temperature and high-pressure gas is generated in the cabinet 1, the limit plate 25 seals the joint between the fixed plate 21 and the pressure relief plate 24. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters from the bottom opening of the bypass groove 22, driving the unlocking piston 42 to move toward the lock tongue 31, thereby driving the lock tongue 31 to move toward the lock hole 27 until the lock tongue 31 is separated from the bypass groove 22, and then the high-temperature and high-pressure gas can drive the pressure relief plate 24 to rotate upward, and then the high-temperature and high-pressure gas can be quickly discharged from the square through hole in the center of the fixed plate 21.

[0054] The unlocking assembly 4 further includes a return spring 41 , which is clamped and installed in the bypass groove 22 and is located behind the unlocking piston 42 .

[0055] The elastic force of the return spring 41 can prevent the unlocking piston 42 from blocking the opening below the bypass groove 22 , thereby facilitating the high-temperature and high-pressure gas to enter the bypass groove 22 .

[0056] A pressure relief passage 43 is formed through the unlocking piston 42 , and the pressure relief passage 43 is L-shaped.

[0057] When the high-temperature and high-pressure gas drives the unlocking piston 42 to move toward the locking tongue 31, the return spring 41 is stretched. When the unlocking piston 42 completely pushes the locking tongue 31 out of the bypass groove 22, the upper opening of the pressure relief channel 43 is aligned with the upper opening of the bypass groove 22. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the bypass groove 22 enters the upper opening of the bypass groove 22 through the pressure relief channel 43 and is then discharged to the outside. The pressure in the bypass groove 22 is reduced. At this time, the elastic force of the return spring 41 can prevent the unlocking piston 42 from being pushed out of the bypass groove 22.

[0058] A protective cover 5 is provided above the pressure relief device 2 , and through holes are provided on the top and back of the protective cover 5 .

[0059] The protective cover 5 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the fixing plate 21 by metal screws. The protective cover 5 is used to prevent the pressure relief plate 24 from flying out and to limit the discharge direction of the high pressure gas.

[0060] Working principle:

[0061] When a short circuit fault occurs inside the cabinet 1, a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas is generated. At this time, the limit plate 25 seals the joint between the fixed plate 21 and the pressure relief plate 24. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas can only enter from the bottom opening of the bypass groove 22. The pressure at the rear of the bypass groove 22 increases, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas drives the unlocking piston 42 to move toward the lock tongue 31, thereby driving the lock tongue 31 to move toward the lock hole 27 until the lock tongue 31 is separated from the bypass groove 22.

[0062] When the locking tongue 31 is completely pushed out of the bypass groove 22, the upper opening of the pressure relief channel 43 is aligned with the upper opening of the bypass groove 22. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the bypass groove 22 enters the upper opening of the bypass groove 22 through the pressure relief channel 43 and is then discharged to the outside. The pressure in the bypass groove 22 is reduced. At this time, the elastic force of the return spring 41 can prevent the unlocking piston 42 from being pushed out of the bypass groove 22.

[0063] Since the bypass groove 22 is relatively small, the pressure cannot be completely discharged. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas can drive the pressure relief plate 24 to rotate upward, and then the high-temperature and high-pressure gas can be quickly discharged from the square through hole in the center of the fixed plate 21, enter the protective cover 5, and then be discharged from the through holes on the top and back of the protective cover 5. This can avoid causing damage to the staff in front of the cabinet 1.

[0064] When the pressure relief plate 24 rotates upward, the rotation limit plate 26 will rotate upward with the pressure relief plate 24 until the bottom of the rotation limit plate 26 abuts against the limit plate 25, thereby stopping the rotation, and then stopping the rotation of the pressure relief plate 24, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the pressure relief plate 24. At the same time, the rotation limit plate 26 can limit the high-pressure gas from being discharged from both sides of the pressure relief plate 24.

[0065] After the pressure relief is completed, the unlocking piston 42 returns to its original position under the elastic force of the return spring 41. After eliminating the short circuit fault, the protective cover 5 is removed.

[0066] Applying a force toward the locking spring 33 to the unlocking stud 32 can drive the locking tongue 31 to slide in the direction of the locking spring 33, compressing the locking spring 33. When the unlocking stud 32 slides to the rear end of the limiting groove 28, the locking tongue 31 is completely received in the lock hole 27.

[0067] Then the pressure relief plate 24 is rotated downward until the bottom surface of the pressure relief plate 24 abuts against the limiting plate 25 .

[0068] The force applied to the unlocking stud 32 is released, and the elastic force of the locking spring 33 drives the locking tongue 31 to slide outside the locking hole 27. The locking tongue 31 is inserted into the bypass groove 22, and cooperates with the limiting plate 25 to limit the rotation of the pressure relief plate 24.

[0069] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model.
