[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0029] Embodiment

[0030] Figures 1 - 4 Shows a schematic diagram of the overall structure as a specific embodiment of the present utility model. Figures 1 - 4 Among them, a process control instrument with a safety interlocking function includes a control instrument body 1, a locking groove 101, a closing mechanism installed on one side of the control instrument body 1, and an interlocking mechanism arranged inside the locking groove 101.

[0031] The closing mechanism includes a support door 2, a lock core 201, a first lock groove 202, and a second lock groove 203. The lock core 201 is installed on the side of the support door 2 close to the control instrument body 1. The lock core 201 is rotatably installed on one side of the control instrument body 1. Both the first lock groove 202 and the second lock groove 203 penetrate through the upper and lower ends of the lock core 201.

[0032] The interlocking mechanism includes an arc-shaped locking plate 3, a rotating connection plate 301, a limit bolt 302, a limit ring 303, a connection frame 304, a locking column 305, and a waist hole 310. The rotating connection plate 301 is installed at the upper end of the arc-shaped locking plate 3. The rotating connection plate 301 penetrates through the upper and lower ends of the rotating connection plate 301. The limit bolt 302 is inserted into the rotating connection plate 301. The limit ring 303 is installed on the upper half of the outer side of the limit bolt 302. The connection frame 304 is fixedly connected to the lower half of the outer side of the limit bolt 302. The locking column 305 is installed on the upper surface of the lower end of the connection frame 304.

[0033] Among them, the arc-shaped locking plate 3 is inserted into the first locking groove 202, the locking column 305 is inserted into the second locking groove 203, and the arc-shaped locking plate 3 is rotatably arranged inside one side of the control instrument body 1.

[0034] Through the moving closing mechanism, supported by the interlocking mechanism, the moving closing mechanism and the control instrument body 1 are subjected to multiple closing limit positions, achieving the effect of safely closing and protecting the control instrument body 1. Specifically, by moving the moving support door 2, driving the lock core 201 to move towards the control instrument body 1 at the same time, so that the lock core 201 is inserted into the locking groove 101. After the support door 2 contacts the surface of the control instrument body 1, the control connecting frame 304 moves upward, so that the locking column 305 moves upward and is inserted into the second locking groove 203. At the same time, the limit bolt 302 drives the rotating connecting plate 301 to move upward. Under the rotation of the arc-shaped locking plate 3, the arc-shaped locking plate 3 moves downward into the first locking groove 202, so that the first locking groove 202 and the second locking groove 203 are both limited, achieving the effect of limiting the lock core 201, thereby achieving the effect of limiting the support door 2, closing the control instrument body 1, and playing a role in protecting the device.

[0035] Figure 1 and Figure 3 Shown is a schematic diagram of the interlocking structure as a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 3 In [the figure], there are at least two lock cores 201, and the connection methods of the two lock cores 201 are the same, and the two lock cores 201 are at different heights.

[0036] With the support of the two lock cores 201 and the setting of corresponding limit assistance mechanisms, the overall limit effect of the device is improved, the multi-layer interlocking function of the device is further improved, and the safety of the device is effectively guaranteed.

[0037] Figure 4 Shown is a three-dimensional structure schematic diagram of the interlocking mechanism as a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 In [the figure], the limit bolt 302 is located above the locking column 305, and the limit bolt 302 and the locking column 305 are located on the same side of the connecting frame 304.

[0038] Under the connection of the connecting frame 304, driving the limit bolt 302 and the locking column 305 to move simultaneously, and setting the limit bolt 302 and the locking column 305 at different heights, further ensuring the accuracy of their moving and engaging, and ensuring the overall connection stability of the device.

[0039] Figure 4 Shown is a schematic diagram of the control method structure as a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4Among them, the interlocking mechanism further includes a fixed rod 306, an engaging groove 307, an engaging wheel 308, and a control lock 309. The engaging groove 307 is formed in the lower half of the outer side of the fixed rod 306. The engaging wheel 308 is engaged with the engaging groove 307. The control lock 309 is installed on the outer surface of the engaging wheel 308, and the control lock 309 is inserted into the control instrument body 1. And the fixed rod 306 is installed on the lower end surface of the fixed rod 306.

[0040] By rotating the control lock 309, the engaging wheel 308 is driven to rotate simultaneously. Under the meshing connection of the engaging groove 307, the effect of moving the fixed rod 306 in height is achieved, thereby driving the connecting frame 304 to move, achieving the movement control of the clamping and limiting components, and ensuring the stability of the overall closing of the device and the accuracy when opening.

[0041] Figure 3 Shown is a schematic diagram of the overall interlocking structure as a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 Among them, the interlocking mechanism includes a connecting rod 311. The connecting rod 311 is installed at the upper end of the fixed rod 306, and connecting frames 304 are installed at both opposite ends of the fixed rod 306.

[0042] The number of the arc-shaped locking plates 3, the rotating connecting plates 301, the first locking groove 202, and the second locking groove 203 is the same, and the two lock cores 201 operate simultaneously.

[0043] Under the transmission of the connecting rod 311, by controlling the movement of the lower connecting frame 304, the upper and lower connecting frames 304 can be driven to move simultaneously, thereby controlling the simultaneous movement of the two interlocking mechanisms, achieving the effect of conveniently controlling the movement of the device, thus facilitating the control of the opening and closing of the device. And by setting both the plugging and closing devices in duplicate, the stability of the interlocking closing of the device is improved, thereby further enhancing the safety when the device is closed.

[0044] Working principle: First, rotate the control lock 309 to drive the engaging wheel 308 to rotate simultaneously. Under the meshing connection of the engaging groove 307, the fixed rod 306 is moved in height. Under the connection of the connecting frame 304, the limiting bolt 302 and the locking column 305 are driven to move simultaneously, causing the first locking groove 202 to contract and the locking column 305 to move downward, making the interlocking mechanism in a contracted state. Then close the support door 2, insert the lock core 201 into the locking groove 101. Rotate the control lock 309 in the reverse direction again, so that the arc-shaped locking plate 3 and the locking column 305 move in the reverse direction, simultaneously plugging the first locking groove 202 and the second locking groove 203, achieving the limitation of the lock core 201, thereby achieving the simultaneous limitation of the support door 2. And under the connection of the connecting rod 311, the two lock cores 201 are simultaneously limited, achieving the effect of stable limitation of the support door 2.

[0045] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
