Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of switch cabinet valves, in particular to a switch cabinet valve mechanism. Background Art
[0002] With the development of power systems, the safety and reliability requirements for electrical equipment are becoming increasingly stringent. Switchgear, an integral component of power systems, typically houses various high-voltage and low-voltage electrical components. To protect these components from environmental influences and prevent unauthorized access to live components, which could lead to safety incidents, switchgear is typically equipped with a valve mechanism to seal and manage the internal space. For an example of a common valve mechanism, see the switchgear valve mechanism disclosed in Application No. 2018110485986.
[0003] The above-mentioned valve mechanism relies solely on the gravity of the upper valve and the mechanical force of the spring to maintain the closed state. This can easily cause the valve to open accidentally when subjected to external impact, increasing safety risks. To address the above issues, this application proposes a lockable switch cabinet valve mechanism to improve the safety of the valve. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the background technology, the utility model provides a switch cabinet valve mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, both ends of the upper valve and the lower valve are provided with guide holes that are slidably matched with the guide rods.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the torsion spring connected to the lower connecting arm has a hook portion that is hooked on the lower connecting arm.
[0011] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that by providing fixed locking holes on the upper and lower connecting arms and aligning them with corresponding locking holes on the fixing base, the upper and lower valves can be effectively locked when closed. This design ensures that the valves will not easily open even under external impact, thereby greatly improving operator safety. The locking mechanism adds an additional layer of security, reducing the risk of accidental opening of the valves due to mechanical failure or unexpected circumstances.

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0019] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0020] The utility model provides a switch cabinet movable door mechanism.
[0021] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1-4 The switch cabinet valve mechanism includes two parallel guide rods 1, an upper valve 2, a lower valve 3, an upper crank arm, a lower crank arm, a torsion spring 4 and a fixed base 5. The upper crank arm includes an upper main arm 6 rotatably connected to the upper valve and an upper connecting arm 7 rotatably connected to the upper main arm 6. The upper connecting arm 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 8 on the fixed base. The lower crank arm includes a lower main arm 9 rotatably connected to the lower valve and a lower connecting arm 10 rotatably connected to the lower main arm 9. The lower connecting arm 10 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 8 on the fixed base. The upper connecting arm and the lower connecting arm are both provided with fixed lock holes 11. The upper and lower sides of the fixed base are respectively provided with upper lock holes 12 and lower lock holes 13. When the upper and lower valves are closed, the fixed lock hole of the upper connecting arm can be exactly aligned with the lower lock hole of the fixed base, and the fixed lock hole of the lower connecting arm can be exactly aligned with the upper lock hole of the fixed base.
[0022] In the above technical solution, this design ensures that the valve can be physically locked through the keyhole when closed, increasing the safety and stability of the structure. Even if subjected to external impact, the valve is unlikely to open accidentally, thereby improving the safety of the operator.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, when the upper and lower valves are closed, the fixed lock hole of the upper connecting arm is aligned with the lower lock hole of the fixing seat, and the fixed lock hole of the lower connecting arm is aligned with the upper lock hole of the fixing seat, and then the two are locked using a pin shaft or a door lock to avoid accidental opening and improve safety of use.
[0024] Specifically, both ends of the upper valve and the lower valve are provided with guide holes 14 that are slidably matched with the guide rods.
[0025] By setting the guide hole, the upper and lower valves can slide smoothly along the guide rod.
[0026] Specifically, a plurality of through holes 15 are evenly spaced apart on the outer walls at both ends of the upper valve and the lower valve.
[0027] The through hole is used for rotational connection with the crank arm (upper crank arm and lower crank arm). When used, through holes of different heights can be selected to adapt to different working conditions.
[0028] Specifically, the torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft between the upper connecting arm and the lower connecting arm, and one end of the torsion spring is connected to the lower connecting arm, and the other end is connected to the fixing seat.
[0029] The use of a torsion spring provides the valve with an automatic reset function, meaning that when no external force is applied, the valve will automatically return to the closed state. This not only facilitates operation but also further enhances the safety performance of the system, preventing potential dangers caused by forgetting to close the valve.
[0030] In addition, the existing torsion spring only drives the lower valve to close, while the upper valve closes by its own weight. Therefore, the upper valve is made of iron and the lower valve is made of aluminum. When the upper valve closes by its own weight, it may slide poorly or scrape, which may cause the upper valve to not close. The present application uses a torsion spring for bidirectional drive, that is, in the absence of external force, the torsion spring can simultaneously drive the upper and lower valves to reset, closing the upper and lower valves. This solves the problem of the upper valve not closing due to scraping or jamming. Furthermore, the upper and lower valves can be produced with the same material and mold, reducing production costs.
[0031] Specifically, the fixing seat is bent toward one side of the rotating shaft to form a connecting plate 16 , and a connecting groove 17 connected to one end of the torsion spring is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 16 .
[0032] By setting up a special connection groove to connect the torsion spring, the stability of the torsion spring connection is ensured, and the loosening or falling off that may occur during long-term use is avoided, thereby ensuring the long-term effectiveness of the torsion spring function.
[0033] Specifically, one end of the torsion spring 4 connected to the lower connecting arm has a hook portion 18 hooked to the lower connecting arm 10 .
[0034] The hook design strengthens the connection strength between the torsion spring and the lower connecting arm, ensuring that the torsion spring can effectively transmit force to the valve, improving the reliability and durability of the overall structure.
[0035] Technical personnel please note: Although the utility model has been described according to the above specific implementation methods, the concept of the utility model is not limited to this utility model. Any modification using the concept of the utility model will be included in the scope of protection of this patent right.
