[0021] The following will be combined with the 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.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5The present invention provides the following technical solution: a safe distribution box for opening, including a distribution box body 4, a fixing block 3 connected to the side wall of the distribution box body 4, a cabinet door 5 connected to one side of the distribution box body 4 and located outside the fixing block 3, a locking mechanism 2 provided on both the fixing block 3 and the cabinet door 5, a U-shaped locking rod 1 provided between the two locking mechanisms 2, a cleaning component 6 provided inside the fixing block 3, and a plug-in component 7 provided on the side wall of the cabinet door 5.

[0024] Specifically, the cleaning component 6 includes a placement box 62, a side plate 63, a wiping cotton pad 66, a mounting plate 67, and a sliding member 68. The placement box 62 is located at one end of the interior of the fixing block 3. The mounting plate 67 is located inside the placement box 62. The sliding member 68 is located between the placement box 62 and the mounting plate 67. The wiping cotton pad 66 is connected to the top of the mounting plate 67. The side plate 63 is connected to one end of the placement box 62.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when staff need to use fingerprint recognition to release the locking effect of the locking mechanism 2, the side plate 63 is moved to the periphery of the fixing block 3. After the side plate 63 moves, the placement box 62 moves away from the fixing block 3. Then, the staff places the finger to be used on the wiping cotton 66 for rubbing and cleaning to ensure the cleanliness of the staff's fingers, which is convenient for subsequent fingerprint recognition. The cleaned finger is then placed on the fingerprint recognition area on the locking mechanism 2 for fingerprint recognition. After successful fingerprint recognition, the pushing component 68 pushes the mounting plate 67 upward inside the placement box 62. The upward movement of the mounting plate 67 moves the wiping cotton 66 upward. When the wiping cotton 66 moves out of the placement box 62, it is then removed from the placement box 62 and used to wipe and clean the fingerprint recognition area on the locking mechanism 2. This prevents the staff's fingerprints from remaining on the fingerprint recognition area of ​​the locking mechanism 2, thus providing fingerprints to other personnel and causing them to open the cabinet door 5.

[0026] Specifically, the pushing component 68 includes a pushing groove 681, a pushing block 682, a pushing rod 683, a groove 684, and a second spring 685. One end of the mounting plate 67 is connected to the pushing block 682. A pushing groove 681 is provided on the side wall of the placement box 62 at a position corresponding to the pushing block 682. A pushing rod 683 is connected to the side wall of the pushing block 682. A groove 684 is provided on the side wall of the pushing groove 681 at a position corresponding to the pushing rod 683. A second spring 685 connects the pushing rod 683 and the groove 684.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the push block 682 moves upward along the push groove 681. The upward movement of the push block 682 drives the push rod 683 to move into the groove 684 and the mounting plate 67 moves upward inside the placement box 62. The movement of the push rod 683 squeezes the second spring 685, making it easier for the operator to move and take out the wiping cotton block 66.

[0028] Specifically, the cleaning component 6 also includes a connecting rod 61, a connecting groove 64, and a first spring 65. The connecting rod 61 is connected to the side of the placement box 62 away from the side plate 63. The connecting groove 64 is provided inside the fixing block 3 at the position corresponding to the connecting rod 61. The first spring 65 connects the connecting rod 61 and the connecting groove 64.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement of the placement box 62 causes the connecting rod 61 to move inside the connecting groove 64. The movement of the connecting rod 61 causes the first spring 65 to stretch. When the connecting rod 61 moves and fits against the side wall of the connecting groove 64, the connecting rod 61 is blocked and stops moving, thereby preventing the placement box 62 from continuing to move and preventing the placement box 62 from detaching from the fixing block 3. After the wiping cotton 66 is taken out from inside the placement box 62, the placement box 62 is released, and the first spring 65 loses its external force and returns to its original state, causing the placement box 62 to move and retract into the fixing block 3, which facilitates the movement and reset operation of the placement box 62.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the operator needs to open the cabinet door 5 to operate the electrical components inside the distribution box body 4, the side plate 63 is moved to the periphery of the fixing block 3. The movement of the side plate 63 causes the placement box 62 to move, which in turn causes the connecting rod 61 to move. The movement of the connecting rod 61 causes the first spring 65 to stretch. After the placement box 62 moves out of the fixing block 3, the operator places the finger to be used on the wiping cotton block 66 for rubbing and cleaning to ensure the cleanliness of the operator's finger, which is convenient for subsequent fingerprint recognition. Then, the cleaned finger is placed on the fingerprint recognition area on the locking mechanism 2 for fingerprint recognition. After successful fingerprint recognition, the pushing block 682 is moved upward along the pushing groove 681. The upward movement of the pushing block 682 causes the pushing rod 6 to move upward. 83 moves into the groove 684 and the mounting plate 67 moves upward inside the placement box 62. The push rod 683 moves to compress the second spring 685. The mounting plate 67 moves upward, causing the wiping cotton block 66 to move upward. After the wiping cotton block 66 moves out of the placement box 62, the wiping cotton block 66 is taken out from the placement box 62. The wiping cotton block 66 is then used to wipe and clean the fingerprint recognition area on the locking mechanism 2 to prevent the fingerprints of the staff from remaining on the fingerprint recognition area on the locking mechanism 2 and providing fingerprints to other personnel. This would allow other personnel to open the cabinet door 5 and then use their own keys to open the locking mechanism 2 with another locking effect. Then, the U-shaped locking rod 1 is taken out from the two locking mechanisms 2, the cabinet door 5 is opened, and then the electrical components inside the distribution box body 4 are operated.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the plug-in assembly 7 includes a plug-in block 71 and a plug-in hole 72. The plug-in block 71 is connected to the side wall of the cabinet door 5, and the plug-in hole 72 is provided inside the plug-in block 71.

[0033] Specifically, the plug-in assembly 7 also includes a side groove 73, a pull rod 74, a third spring 75, an external rod 76, and an arc-shaped block 77. A side groove 73 is provided on the side wall of the plug-in hole 72. The pull rod 74 is plugged into the side groove 73. External rods 76 are connected to both sides of the pull rod 74. A third spring 75 connects the external rod 76 and the side groove 73. An arc-shaped block 77 is connected to one end of the pull rod 74.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the pull rod 74 is pulled to the periphery of the insertion block 71. The movement of the pull rod 74 causes the outer rod 76 and the arc block 77 to move. The movement of the outer rod 76 compresses the third spring 75. Then, the removed U-shaped locking rod 1 is inserted into the insertion hole 72. Then, the pull rod 74 is released, and the third spring 75 loses its external force and returns to its original shape, causing the outer rod 76 to move. The movement of the outer rod 76 causes the pull rod 74 to move. The movement of the pull rod 74 causes the arc block 77 to move and fit against the side wall of the U-shaped locking rod 1. The arc block 77 is used to press the U-shaped locking rod 1 to ensure the stability of the insertion and placement of the U-shaped locking rod 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, after removing the U-shaped locking rod 1 from the two locking mechanisms 2, the pull rod 74 is pulled towards the periphery of the insertion block 71. The movement of the pull rod 74 causes the outer rod 76 and the arc-shaped block 77 to move. The movement of the outer rod 76 compresses the third spring 75. Then, the removed U-shaped locking rod 1 is inserted into the insertion hole 72. Then, the pull rod 74 is released, and the third spring 75 returns to its original state after losing external force, causing the outer rod 76 to move. The movement of the outer rod 76 causes the pull rod 74 to move, and the movement of the pull rod 74 causes the arc-shaped block 77 to move and fit against the side wall of the U-shaped locking rod 1. The arc-shaped block 77 is used to press the U-shaped locking rod 1 against the wall, ensuring the stability of the insertion and placement of the U-shaped locking rod 1, preventing the U-shaped locking rod 1 from being lost, and facilitating the subsequent reuse of the U-shaped locking rod 1.

[0036] The structure and principle of the locking mechanism 2, consisting of mounting base 1, mounting base 2, lock head, pull handle, fingerprint unlocking area, control button, and lock cylinder, in this utility model have been disclosed in a distribution box disclosed in Chinese patent application number 202323334028.2. Its working principle is as follows: Mounting base 2 is connected to the side wall of cabinet door 5, and mounting base 1 is connected to the side wall of fixing block 3. Lock heads are connected to the side walls of both mounting base 1 and mounting base 2. A lock cylinder is installed on the lock head. A control button is located on the lock head and on one side of the lock cylinder. A fingerprint unlocking area is located on the lock head and on the other side of the lock cylinder. Mounting base 1... A handle is connected to the mounting base 2 and located below the lock head. The lock head can use existing technology to lock both ends of the U-shaped locking rod 1. In addition, due to the lock cylinder, two keys are required to open both lock heads to remove the U-shaped locking rod 1 from the lock head and open the cabinet door 5. Similarly, the two fingerprint unlocking areas also require two fingerprints to open the lock head, which helps to improve the security performance of the equipment. After the U-shaped locking rod 1 is removed from the lock head, the staff can pull the handle to open the cabinet door 5. The operation is simple and provides convenience for the staff.

[0037] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the operator needs to open the cabinet door 5 to operate the electrical components inside the distribution box body 4, the side plate 63 is moved outward from the fixing block 3. The movement of the side plate 63 causes the placement box 62 to move, which in turn causes the connecting rod 61 to move. The movement of the connecting rod 61 causes the first spring 65 to stretch. After the placement box 62 moves outward from the fixing block 3, the operator then places the finger part to be used on the wiping cotton block 66 for rubbing and cleaning, ensuring the cleanliness of the operator's fingers and facilitating subsequent cleaning. Continuing with the fingerprint recognition operation, the cleaned finger is placed on the fingerprint recognition area of ​​the locking mechanism 2 for fingerprint recognition. After successful fingerprint recognition, the push block 682 moves upward along the push groove 681. The upward movement of the push block 682 causes the push rod 683 to move into the groove 684 and the mounting plate 67 to move upward inside the placement box 62. The movement of the push rod 683 compresses the second spring 685, and the upward movement of the mounting plate 67 causes the wiping cotton block 66 to move upward. After the wiping cotton block 66 moves out of the placement box 62, it is then removed from the placement box 62. The fingerprint recognition area on the locking mechanism 2 is wiped clean using a wiping cotton pad 66 to prevent fingerprints from remaining on the area and being used by other personnel to open the cabinet door 5. Then, the U-shaped locking rod 1 is removed from both locking mechanisms 2. The rod 74 is then pulled towards the periphery of the insertion block 71. The movement of the rod 74 moves the outer rod 76 and the arc-shaped block 77. The outer rod 76 compresses the third spring 75, and then the U-shaped locking rod 1 is removed from the two locking mechanisms 2. The U-shaped locking rod 1 is inserted into the insertion hole 72. Then, the pull rod 74 is released, and the third spring 75 returns to its original state after losing external force, which drives the external rod 76 to move. The movement of the external rod 76 drives the pull rod 74 to move. The movement of the pull rod 74 drives the arc block 77 to move and fit against the side wall of the U-shaped locking rod 1. The arc block 77 is used to press the U-shaped locking rod 1 to ensure the stability of the insertion and placement of the U-shaped locking rod 1, prevent the U-shaped locking rod 1 from being lost, and facilitate the subsequent reuse of the U-shaped locking rod 1. Then, the cabinet door 5 is opened, and then the electrical components inside the distribution box body 4 are operated.
