[0026] The present utility model will be further described in conjunction with the following embodiments and drawings:

[0027] A switch cabinet, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, includes: a cabinet body 10 having a cabinet door 11, a first circuit breaker 12, an earthing switch 13, a transformer 14 disposed in the cabinet body 10, and a mechanical interlock device 15 respectively connecting the earthing switch 13 and the cabinet door 11. The cavity in the cabinet body 10 is divided into a left front cavity 16, a right front cavity 17, a right rear cavity 18 and a left rear cavity 19. The earthing switch 13 is fixed in the middle of the left front cavity 16, the transformer 14 is fixed at the lower part of the right front cavity 17, the first circuit breaker 12 is fixed at the upper part of the right front cavity 17. The earthing switch 13 is connected to the input end of the transformer 14, and the transformer 14 is connected in series with the first circuit breaker 12.

[0028] When the equipment operates normally, the earthing switch 13 is disconnected, the first circuit breaker 12 is connected, and the transformer 14 is powered on. Due to the limiting effect of the mechanical interlock device 15, the cabinet door 11 cannot be opened at this time; when electrical equipment needs to be repaired, first disconnect the first circuit breaker 12, then the transformer 14 is powered off, and then manually connect the earthing switch 13, and the mechanical interlock device 15 is unlocked. At this time, the cabinet door 11 can be opened smoothly, thus ensuring personal safety during the repair of electrical equipment.

[0029] The switch cabinet of the present utility model reasonably divides the inner cavity of the cabinet body 10 into a left front cavity 16, a right front cavity 17, a right rear cavity 18, and a left rear cavity 19. The earthing switch 13 is fixed in the middle of the left front cavity 16, the transformer 14 is fixed at the lower part of the right front cavity 17, and the first circuit breaker 12 is fixed at the upper part of the right front cavity 17. The layout of the components is conducive to the connection between the earthing switch 13 and the transformer 14, and between the transformer 14 and the first circuit breaker 12. The wiring between the components is convenient and beautiful, saving the wiring length and reducing the wiring cost of the switch cabinet. The switch cabinet of the present utility model integrates the transformer 14, the first circuit breaker 12, and the earthing switch 13 into one cabinet body 10, with a reasonable layout, a simple and compact structure, and a high power density.

[0030] The switch cabinet of the present utility model integrates the transformer 14 on the basis of the existing switch cabinet, adding the step-down and step-up functions of the transformer 14, saving the setting of the transformer box body and having a low cost.

[0031] Preferably, as Figure 2 shown, a second circuit breaker 20 is provided at the upper part of the left front cavity 16 in the cabinet body 10, an outlet 21 is provided at the position of the second circuit breaker 20 of the cabinet body 10, a pre-charge resistor 22 is provided at the outlet 21 outside the cabinet body 10, the second circuit breaker 20 and the pre-charge resistor 22 are connected in parallel, and the output end of the first circuit breaker 12 is electrically connected to the input ends of the second circuit breaker 20 and the pre-charge resistor 22 respectively.

[0032] The main function of the pre-charge resistor 22 is to protect the components. It can prevent the charging current from being too large at the moment of direct power-on, thus avoiding the damage of the components caused by the excessive instantaneous current. Specifically, at the moment of power-on, the pre-charge resistor 22 conducts, and the second circuit breaker 20 disconnects, which can avoid the damage of the components caused by the excessive instantaneous current; when the current is stable, the pre-charge resistor 22 disconnects, and the second circuit breaker 20 connects, and the circuit operates normally.

[0033] The outlet 21 is provided at the position of the second circuit breaker 20 of the cabinet body 10, and the pre-charge resistor 22 is provided at the outlet 21 outside the switch cabinet. Since the second circuit breaker 20 is provided at the upper part of the left front cavity 16 in the cabinet body 10, such a layout setting facilitates the wiring of the second circuit breaker 20 and the pre-charge resistor 22, can save the wiring length, and further reduces the cost of the switch cabinet.

[0034] The second circuit breaker 20 is provided at the upper part of the left front cavity 16 in the cabinet body 10. Since the first circuit breaker 12 is provided at the upper part of the right front cavity 17 in the cabinet body 10, such a setting has a reasonable layout, a more compact structure, is conducive to the wiring between the first circuit breaker 12 and the second circuit breaker 20, saves the installation and operation time, and saves the wiring length, further reducing the cost of the switch cabinet.

[0035] Preferably, asFigure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in Figure 6 , a voltage transformer 23 for measuring the voltage of transformer 14 is provided at the lower part of the left rear cavity 19 inside the cabinet body 10. Both the transformer 14 and the voltage transformer 23 are provided at the lower part inside the cabinet body 10, with a reasonable layout, a compact structure, convenient wiring operation, and saving of wiring length, further reducing the cost of the switch cabinet.

[0036] Preferably, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a current transformer 24 for measuring the current of transformer 14 is provided at the upper part of the right rear cavity 18 inside the cabinet body 10. Both the transformer 14 and the current transformer 24 are provided on the right side inside the cabinet body 10, with a reasonable layout, a compact structure, convenient wiring operation, and saving of wiring length, further reducing the cost of the switch cabinet.

[0037] Preferably, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a heat exchange component 25 is provided in the middle of the right front cavity 17 inside the cabinet body 10. The heat exchange component 25 can be a heat exchange component 25 in the prior art, such as a water-cooled or air-cooled radiator, etc. The heat exchange component 25 is provided in the middle of the right front cavity 17 inside the cabinet body 10, that is, between the first circuit breaker 12 and the transformer 14. Since a large amount of heat is generated when the first circuit breaker 12 and the transformer 14 are operating, this setting is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the first circuit breaker 12 and the transformer 14.

[0038] Preferably, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, a first partition plate 27 with a first ventilation opening 26 is provided behind the heat exchange component 25 inside the cabinet body 10, a second partition plate 28 for isolating the grounding switch 13 is provided on the left side of the heat exchange component 25 of the cabinet body 10, a third partition plate 29 is provided behind the transformer 14, the lower part of the third partition plate 29 has a second ventilation opening 30, and a third ventilation opening 31 is provided behind the first circuit breaker 12.

[0039] When the heat exchange component 25 is working, hot air enters the heat exchange component 25 from the first ventilation opening 26. The heat exchange component 25 absorbs heat, and the hot air cools down to cold air. The cooled cold air enters the upper first circuit breaker 12 and the lower transformer 14 from the upper and lower ends of the heat exchange component 25 respectively. After the cold air absorbs the heat of the first circuit breaker 12, it becomes hot air and flows out from the third ventilation opening 31. After the cold air absorbs the heat of the transformer 14, it becomes hot air and flows out from the second ventilation opening 30. The hot air enters the heat exchange component 25 from the first ventilation opening 26 again, and the above steps are cycled, continuously dissipating heat from the first circuit breaker 12 and the transformer 14, effectively reducing the heat generated during the operation of the first circuit breaker 12 and the transformer 14, avoiding damage to the first circuit breaker 12 and the transformer 14 due to excessive temperature, and thus extending the service life of the switch cabinet.

[0040] Preferably, as Figure 7 shown, a fourth partition plate 32 is provided at the corresponding position of the voltage transformer 23 in the lower part of the left front cavity 16 in the cabinet body 10. The fourth partition plate 32 can isolate the voltage transformer 23 from the left front cavity 16 in the cabinet body 10, facilitating the setting of other weak-current components in the left front cavity 16 of the cabinet body 10 and realizing the isolation of strong current and weak current.

[0041] Preferably, as Figure 6 shown, busbars 33 are provided in the upper middle parts of the left rear cavity 19 and the right rear cavity 18 of the cabinet body 10. By uniformly providing busbars 33 in the upper middle parts of the left rear cavity 19 and the right rear cavity 18 of the cabinet body 10, it is convenient to uniformly arrange the busbars 33 between various components, making the wiring more neat and beautiful.

[0042] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the cabinet door 11 includes a left front door panel 34, a right front door panel 35 and a left side door panel 36. The mechanical interlock device 15 is arranged at the corresponding position of the earthing switch 13 on the left front door panel 34. Travel switches 37 for controlling the on / off of the first circuit breaker 12 are arranged at the upper ends of the left front door panel 34, the right front door panel 35 and the left side door panel 36 of the cabinet body 10.

[0043] The mechanical interlock device 15 is arranged at the corresponding position of the earthing switch 13 on the left front door panel 34, which can facilitate the setting and installation of the mechanical interlock device 15. The travel switch 37 can be a travel switch 37 in the prior art, and its contact is actuated by the collision of the moving part of the production machinery to realize the connection or disconnection of the control circuit, achieving a certain control purpose. Specifically, when the left front door panel 34, the right front door panel 35 and the left side door panel 36 are opened, the travel switch 37 is triggered to control the first circuit breaker 12 to disconnect, that is, when the first circuit breaker 12 is not disconnected and the left front door panel 34, the right front door panel 35 and the left side door panel 36 are opened, the first circuit breaker 12 can be automatically disconnected in time to ensure the personal safety of maintenance personnel.

[0044] Preferably, as Figure 4 shown, a cooling fan 38 is provided in the upper part of the left rear cavity 19 in the cabinet body 10. The cooling fan 38 can cool the second circuit breaker 20 to prevent the second circuit breaker 20 from being damaged due to excessive temperature during operation.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
