[0031] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention is a multi-circuit, high-capacity power distribution cabinet comprising a cabinet body 10, which is divided into a function compartment 20, a component compartment 30, and a busbar compartment 40 by a baffle. The function compartment 20 and the component compartment 30 are arranged side by side at the front of the cabinet body 10. The height of the cabinet is 2300 mm.
[0034] In this embodiment, the baffles include vertical plates 101 and horizontal plates 102. The baffles are metal plates. The busbar chamber 40 includes a vertical busbar chamber 41, located to the right of the functional chamber 20 and behind the component chamber 30, separated by the vertical plates 101, and a horizontal busbar chamber 42, located above the functional chamber 20 and separated by the horizontal plates 102. The vertical plates 101 are L-shaped. The vertical busbar chamber 41 communicates with the horizontal busbar chamber 42.
[0035] In this embodiment, the functional room 20 is divided into four switch compartments 22 by multiple partitions 21. Each switch compartment 22 is equipped with a frame circuit breaker 23. Each frame circuit breaker 23 is fixed to the front of the corresponding partition 21. The frame circuit breakers 23 are Schneider MT08H1b / 3P frame circuit breakers. This allows the overall space of the switch compartment to be relatively small, saving overall equipment space. All frame circuit breakers 23 are connected to the copper busbars provided in the busbar compartment 40.
[0036] Combine Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the copper busbars are divided into horizontal busbars located in the horizontal busbar chamber 42 and vertical busbars located in the vertical busbar chamber 41. The frame circuit breaker 23 includes a circuit breaker body 231 and an operating panel 232 located on the front face of the circuit breaker body and extending from the front side of the corresponding switch chamber 22. Terminal blocks 233 for connecting to the copper busbars are located on the upper side of the rear face of the circuit breaker body 231, and outgoing terminal blocks 234 for connecting to the loads are located on the lower side. All terminal blocks 233 are electrically connected to the vertical busbars.
[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of horizontal busbars and vertical busbars serve as poles A 46, B 45, C 44, and N 47, respectively. The four poles of the vertical busbars are connected to the four poles of the horizontal busbars.
[0038] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, each terminal block assembly 233 includes an a-pole incoming terminal 2333, a b-pole incoming terminal 2332, and a c-pole incoming terminal 2331. Each a-pole incoming terminal 2333 is connected to the A pole 46 of the vertical busbar via a corresponding first conductor 26. Each b-pole incoming terminal 2332 is connected to the B pole 45 of the vertical busbar via a corresponding second conductor 25. Each c-pole incoming terminal 2331 is connected to the C pole 44 of the vertical busbar via a third conductor 24. Secondly, the position of each switch chamber 22 on the N pole 47 of the vertical busbar is connected to a fourth conductor 27 extending into the switch chamber 22.
[0039] In addition, in this embodiment, each outlet terminal assembly 234 includes an a-pole outlet terminal 2343 , a b-pole outlet terminal 2342 , and a c-pole outlet terminal 2341 .
[0040] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the first conductor 26 includes a first connecting plate 261, a first front riser 262 and a rear riser 263 connected to the left and right edges of the first connecting plate 261, and a first right side plate 264 connected to the rear edge of the rear riser 263. The first front riser 262 is connected to the corresponding a-pole incoming terminal 2333, and the first right side plate 264 is connected to the A pole 46 of the vertical busbar. The second conductor 25 includes a second connecting plate 251, a second front riser 252 and a first slanted plate 253 connected to the left and right edges of the second connecting plate, and a second right side plate 254 connected to the rear edge of the first slanted plate 253. The second front riser 252 is connected to the b-pole incoming terminal 2332, and the second right side plate 254 is connected to the B pole 45 of the vertical busbar. The third conductor 24 includes a third connecting plate 241, third front risers 242 connected to the left and right edges of the third connecting plate 241, and a third right side plate 243 connected to the front edge of the right third front riser 242. The left third front riser 242 is connected to the corresponding C-pole incoming terminal 2331, while the third right side plate 243 is connected to the C-pole 44 of the vertical busbar. The fourth conductor 27 includes a fourth connecting plate 271 and a second inclined plate 272 connected to the left edge of the fourth connecting plate 271. A safety shield 29 is installed behind the first connecting plate 261 in each switch compartment.
[0041] In this embodiment, the first conductor 26 , the second conductor 25 , the third conductor 24 and the fourth conductor 27 are all made of copper.
[0042] In addition, a vertical busbar clamp 411 for fixing the vertical busbar is installed in the vertical busbar chamber 41. A horizontal busbar clamp 421 for fixing the horizontal busbar is installed in the horizontal busbar chamber 42. Figure 7 The middle horizontal busbar clamp 421 is divided into an upper half 4211 and a lower half 4212. Thus, during installation, the upper half 4211 can be disassembled first, the horizontal busbar can be installed into the lower half 4212 first, and then the upper half 4211 can be snapped onto the lower half 4212 and fixed with bolts, thereby facilitating installation.
[0043] The upper portion of the function room 20 is equipped with a wiring compartment 28, separated by a layer plate 201. This wiring compartment 28 communicates with the horizontal busbar compartment 42. Each switch compartment 22 has a front door 221 at the front end and a horizontal insulating plate 205 at the rear end. Vertical metal plates 209 are installed at the rear of the vertical busbar compartment 41. The horizontal insulating plates 205 and vertical metal plates 209 separate the rear portion of the function room 20 into a cable compartment 206. A rear door 103 is installed at the rear of the cable compartment 206.
[0044] The bottom of the functional room 20 is divided by the lowest partition 21 into an air duct 207 that communicates with the vertical busbar chamber 41 and the cable chamber. A first panel 202 is installed in front of the air duct 207. A second panel 203 is installed in front of the wiring chamber 28. First vents 204 are provided on the lower portion of the rear cabinet door 103 and the first panel 202. Second vents 208 are provided on the upper portion of the rear cabinet door 103, the second panel 203, and the upper portion of the horizontal busbar chamber 42. In this way, fresh air enters the air duct from the first vent 204, passes through the vertical busbar chamber 41 and the horizontal busbar chamber 42, and is discharged from the second vent 208. Through exchange with the air in the vertical busbar chamber 41 and the horizontal busbar chamber 42, the heat generated by the copper busbars is effectively transferred out of the cabinet, thereby achieving cooling.
[0045] Metal side panels 104 are installed on the left and right sides of the cabinet 10 .
[0046] In this embodiment, the frame circuit breaker is a zero-flashover circuit breaker. In this way, when a short circuit occurs, there is no arc leakage in all directions of the distribution cabinet, thereby protecting the safety of equipment and personnel.
[0047] The frame circuit breakers 23 are equipped with arc extinguishing hoods. Each frame circuit breaker 23 is properly separated within the cabinet by a front door 221, a vertical plate 101 on the right side, a left side panel 104 on the left side, a safety baffle 29 on the rear side, and partitions 21 on both the upper and lower sides. The horizontal plate 102 on the upper side of the topmost frame circuit breaker 23 serves as a backup in the event of a frame circuit breaker failure, controlling arc leakage to minimize the impact of a failure and ensure operator safety.
[0048] This technical solution allows a 2300mm high distribution cabinet to simultaneously accommodate four 800A high-current outputs, multiple high-capacity circuits, and the power needs of a large number of new energy vehicles charging simultaneously. Furthermore, the use of zero-flashback circuit breakers eliminates arc leakage in all directions during a short circuit, ensuring personal safety.
[0049] Example 2
[0050] Combine Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, this embodiment is a technical improvement based on Example 1. The height of the distribution cabinet is 2350mm, and each horizontal busbar is composed of 9 branch busbars 48. In this embodiment, the branch busbars 48 are made of 10mm×50mmTMY. The horizontal busbar clamp 421 is provided with multiple installation slots 49 for the branch busbars 48 to pass through. When the cross-sectional area of the horizontal busbar in Example 1 is the same as the cross-sectional area of the horizontal busbar in this embodiment, this structure is adopted. The surface area of the horizontal busbar in this embodiment is larger than the surface area of the horizontal busbar in Example 1, thereby increasing the surface area of the horizontal busbar for heat dissipation and improving the current carrying capacity. Secondly, the number of branch busbars can be increased or decreased according to the actual current used, which is flexible and convenient to use. Furthermore, each 10mm×50mmTMY branch busbar is small in size and light in weight, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of installation.
[0051] The above describes an embodiment of the present invention in detail. However, the above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
