Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power auxiliary equipment, in particular to a locking auxiliary device suitable for a control handle of an equipment. Background Art

[0002] Control handles are widely used in a variety of equipment and devices. In the power system, in order to work on equipment and lines that have been powered off, it is necessary to close the grounding knife or hang the grounding wire on the equipment within the working range. No circuit breaker (switch) or fuse should be connected between the grounding wire, the grounding knife switch and the maintenance equipment. If a circuit breaker is connected between the grounding knife switch and the maintenance equipment due to equipment reasons, the circuit breaker control panel is equipped with an "open / close" control handle. After the grounding knife switch and the circuit breaker are closed, measures should be taken to ensure that the circuit breaker will not open. The start and stop (rotation) of mechanical equipment is achieved through the equipment control handle, which usually has three states: "automatic, manual, cut-off" or "open (increase), stop, close (decrease)".

[0003] Because the control handles of the circuit breaker and the equipment are not equipped with effective locking devices, in order to ensure that the circuit breaker will not be tripped, the control handle is switched to the "trip position" and a warning sign is hung; when the equipment is shut down, under maintenance or the operating mode is changed, the control handle is switched to the "cut off" or "stop" position and a warning sign is also hung to remind people.

[0004] This method of using signboards to remind people poses a safety risk. If the signboard falls or the relevant personnel forget to place the signboard, the personnel may accidentally operate the control handle, which will cause the circuit breaker or equipment to malfunction (incorrect rotation), resulting in personal injury to the operator and damage to the equipment. It is necessary to lock the handle in a limited space to avoid such accidents from happening at the root. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, a locking auxiliary device for an equipment control handle includes a fixed base 2, a rotating lock 3, a lock adjustment structure 4, and a control handle 11. The fixed base 2 is fixed to a specific position on the cabinet 1 where the control handle 11 is located by fastening nuts and bolts, welding, or using special materials, so that the fixed base 2 and the control handle 11 are correspondingly arranged. The cabinet 1 is provided with an indicator panel 12 for providing operating instructions.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixed base 2 includes a base 21, a rotating shaft hole 23, and a rotating arm hole 24. A spring bracket 22 is provided at one end of the base 21, which is used to fix the spring 43. The rotating shaft hole 23 is movably connected to the rotating shaft 33, allowing the rotating lock 3 to rotate as a whole. The rotating arm hole 24 is used to support the rotating arm 42, one end of which extends from the rotating arm hole 24. The rotating arm hole 24 is configured to be arc-shaped, and the rotating arm 42 moves along the shape of the rotating arm hole 24.

[0026] like Figure 4As shown, the rotating lock 3 includes a rotating arm body 31, a rotating lock lock hole 32, a one-way rotating structure and a rotating shaft 33. The rotating arm body 31 is an "n" type structure. The rotating lock lock hole 32 is set at the front end groove of the rotating arm body 31. The rotating shaft 33 passes through the one-way rotating structure and the rotating shaft hole 23 to rotate the rotating lock 3 and install it on the inner side of the fixed base 2.

[0027] The one-way rotation structure includes a ratchet 34, a rotating shaft 33 fixedly connected to the rotating arm body 31 and the ratchet 34, and movably connected to the rotating shaft hole 23, so that it can rotate simultaneously with the rotating arm body 31 and the ratchet 34; the rotating lock hole 32 is used to hang the mechanical lock 5, and cooperates with the handle lock hole 13 to ensure that the switch cannot be operated after being locked.

[0028] A lock adjustment structure 4 is provided corresponding to the rotating lock catch 3. The lock adjustment structure 4 can lock the rotating lock catch 3 at any angle and keep it stationary. The lock adjustment structure 4 includes a pawl 41, a rotating support arm 42, and a spring 43. The pawl 41 cooperates with the ratchet 34 to lock and release the rotating lock catch 3; one end of the spring 43 is fixed to the spring bracket 22, which is provided on the side wall of the base 21. The pawl 41 is fixed to the other end of the spring 43. The rotating support arm 42 is fixedly connected to the pawl 41 and is used to control the rotation of the pawl 41, so that the spring 43 is in a compressed state, allowing the pawl 41 and the ratchet 34 to open a certain angle, thereby separating the pawl 41 from the ratchet 34; the spring 43 is fixed to the pawl 41. Under normal circumstances, the spring 43 is in an extended state, so that the pawl 41 engages with the ratchet 34, thereby locking the rotating lock catch 3.

[0029] Working Principle: The fixed base 2 is fixed to a specific position on the cabinet 1 where the control handle 11 is located by tightening nuts and bolts, welding, or using special materials. Under normal conditions, the spring 43 of the lock adjustment structure 4 is in an extended state, causing the pawl 41 to engage with the ratchet 34, thereby locking the rotating lock 3 in the vertical position. When in use, the rotating support arm 42 is rotated to make the rotating support arm 42 rotate in the rotating support arm hole 24, so that the spring 43 is in a compressed state, allowing the pawl 41 and the ratchet 34 to open a certain angle, so that the pawl 41 and the ratchet 34 are separated, and the rotating arm body 31 can be moved to drive the rotating lock buckle 3 to rotate to the horizontal direction, so that the handle lock hole 13 is aligned with the rotating lock buckle lock hole 32 and the rotating lock buckle lock hole 32. After releasing the rotating support arm 42, the spring 43 returns to the extended state, so that the pawl 41 engages with the ratchet 34, locking the rotating lock buckle 3 in the horizontal position, and hanging the lock device 5 in the handle lock hole 13, the rotating lock buckle lock hole 32, and the rotating lock buckle lock hole 32, so that the control handle 11 cannot be rotated.

[0030] During the unlocking process, after the lock 5 is removed, the spring 43 is compressed by rotating the rotating arm 42, so that the pawl 41 and the ratchet 34 are opened to a certain angle, so that the pawl 41 and the ratchet 34 are separated, and the rotating lock 3 returns to the vertical position under the action of gravity. When the rotating arm 42 is released, the spring 43 returns to the extended state, so that the pawl 41 and the ratchet 34 are engaged, and the rotating lock 3 is locked in the vertical position.

[0031] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to be used to define the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
