[0002] With the continuous development and increasing intelligence of power systems, the requirements for the safety and reliability of switchgear are becoming increasingly higher. At the same time, relevant safety standards and specifications are also constantly being improved, prompting switchgear manufacturers to continuously seek more advanced and reliable safety interlocking technologies. Mechanical interlocking, as a mature safety technology, plays an important role in meeting these needs.

[0003] Traditional switchgear uses mechanical interlocks in some emergency situations where quick switching operations may be required. However, due to its complex structure and operating procedures, mechanical interlocks may delay operation time, affecting the system's emergency response capabilities. Operation signs are not clear enough, or the operation feel is not obvious, which can easily lead to operators misjudging the operating status and causing erroneous operations.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the problems of inflexible operation and easy misoperation of the above-mentioned traditional switch cabinet, a mechanical interlock for the switch cabinet can be designed. By adding snap plates, rotating handles and screws, the position or spacing of components inside the switch cabinet can be adjusted, and precise adjustment and positioning of internal components can be achieved. As a safety device, locking the cabinet door improves the safety and adaptability of the switch cabinet, effectively avoids electrical accidents caused by misoperation, and ensures the life safety of operators and the normal operation of equipment.
