Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical technology, specifically to an installation structure for a transparent cover. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of intelligent technology, some circuit breakers are equipped with LCD screens that display relevant parameters, allowing operators to quickly access the relevant information.
[0003] In existing technology, a transparent cover is used to protect the LCD screen. The existing transparent cover installation structure is as follows: the upper cover has a through hole and two transparent cover slots (for engaging with the transparent cover's rotating shaft). The two transparent cover slots are located on both sides of the through hole and communicate with it, where the through hole engages with the transparent cover. To install the transparent cover, the rotating shaft is bent (shortening the distance between the left and right ends of the rotating shaft; since the transparent cover is made of plastic, it has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing for bending). The transparent cover is then installed from above the upper cover, inserting both ends of the rotating shaft into the transparent cover slots and then resetting them to their original positions, thus achieving a fixed installation. After installation, the transparent cover rotates relative to the slots through the engagement of the rotating shaft, allowing the transparent cover to open or close the upper opening of the through hole. However, this installation method results in a short rotating shaft length; if the rotating shaft is too long, bending installation becomes impossible. Simply put, the mating area between the rotating shaft and the transparent cover slots is small; increasing the mating area would prevent installation. However, the shorter rotating shaft may cause the transparent cover to fall out during vibration or drops. Utility Model Content

[0040] Example 1
[0041] This embodiment provides a transparent cover mounting structure, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1-6 As shown, the mounting structure is mounted on the body 11, the body 11 is provided with a receiving cavity 111, and the top surface of the receiving cavity 111 is provided with an upper opening 112.
[0042] The installation structure includes:
[0043] The controller module 13 is housed in the receiving cavity 111.
[0044] A transparent cover 12 has a pivot portion 121 located on one side of the transparent cover 12. The transparent cover 12 rotates around the central axis of the pivot portion 121. The cross-section of the pivot portion 121 can be circular, elliptical, or other shapes, which can be adjusted by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the pivot portion 121 is elongated, and both ends of the pivot portion 121 extend beyond the sidewalls of the rest of the transparent cover 12, for engaging with the body 11 to create a relative rotation effect. The length of the pivot portion 121 is greater than the length of the upper opening 112. In this embodiment, both ends of the pivot portion 121 extend beyond the sides of the upper opening 112 to ensure that the transparent cover 12 cannot fall off the upper opening 112. The length of the pivot portion 121 can be adjusted according to actual needs to increase the contact area between the pivot portion 121 and the pivot groove 14. The transparent cover 12 is rotatably connected to the body 11, and the transparent cover 12 opens or closes the upper opening 112.
[0045] The transparent cover 12 enters the receiving cavity 111 from the bottom surface and is assembled inside the cavity 111, meaning the transparent cover 12 is installed from the bottom. The controller module 13 follows the assembly of the transparent cover 12 and the body 11. Specifically, the transparent cover 12 is assembled with the body 11 first, and then the controller module 13 is assembled with the body 11 to achieve a limiting and locking effect on the transparent cover 12. At this time, the transparent cover 12 can only rotate. The controller module 13 cooperates with the body 11 to prevent the rotating shaft 121 from falling off the upper opening 112. Through the cooperation of the controller module 13 and the body 11, the rotating shaft 121 of the transparent cover 12 is fixed, limiting the displacement of the rotating shaft 121 in the vertical direction. At this time, the rotating shaft 121 can only rotate. Furthermore, with this structural design, the transparent cover 12 is installed from below, meaning it is first inserted into the receiving cavity 111 from below and mates with the top surface of the cavity 111. Then, the controller module 13 is installed to fix the transparent cover 12 in place. The operator can install the transparent cover 12 without bending or deforming it. Moreover, the pivot portion 121 of the transparent cover 12 can be lengthened according to actual needs. The lengthened pivot portion 121 is much longer than the upper opening 112, so the transparent cover 12 will not fall out even if it is bent or vibrated and dropped, ensuring its stability.
[0046] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 1-6As shown, the controller module 13 mates with the top surface of the receiving cavity 111 to form a rotating shaft groove 14. The rotating shaft groove 14 communicates with the upper opening 112. Here, the side of the rotating shaft groove 14 communicates with the upper opening 112. The transparent cover 12 is located in the upper opening 112. The rotating shaft portion 121 extends into the rotating shaft groove 14. At this time, both ends of the rotating shaft portion 121 respectively mate with the corresponding rotating shaft grooves 14 to form a relative rotation effect. The transparent cover 12 can rotate relative to the upper opening 112, that is, it can open or close the upper opening 112. Alternatively, the two surfaces can mate to form a vertical limit.
[0047] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 1-6 As shown, the top surface of the receiving cavity 111 is provided with a groove 113, which is located on the inner wall of the top surface of the receiving cavity 111. The groove 113 does not penetrate the entire top surface of the receiving cavity 111; the side of the groove 113 communicates with the upper opening 112, and the groove 113 faces the lower opening. The rotating shaft portion 121 extends into the groove 113. In this embodiment, there are two grooves 113, which are located on both sides of the upper opening 112, and both ends of the rotating shaft portion 121 also extend into the corresponding grooves 113. The top surface of the controller module 13 is provided with a protruding rib 131, which restricts the rotating shaft portion 121 from falling out of the groove 113. The protruding rib 131 specifically mates with the lower opening of the groove 113. The protruding rib 131 prevents the rotating shaft 121 from falling out of the groove 113. The protruding rib 131 can also close the lower opening of the groove 113, and there can be a gap between the protruding rib 131 and the groove 113. It is important to note that the rotating shaft 121 cannot slide out of the groove 113 through this gap. The shape, size, and dimensions of the protruding rib 131 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The mate between the protruding rib 131 and the groove 113 creates a limiting effect on the rotating shaft 121, preventing it from falling out. The groove 113 and the protruding rib 131 together form the rotating shaft groove 14. Alternatively, a groove can be provided on the top surface of the controller module 13, and this groove on the controller mates with the top surface of the receiving cavity 111 to create a limiting and fixing effect.
[0048] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 1-6 As shown, the end of the rib 131 extends beyond the groove 113. The end of the rib 131 is designed to better fit with the groove 113, preventing the rotating shaft 121 from falling off. For example, the groove 113 located to the left of the upper opening 112 has its right side connected to the upper opening 112, while its left side is closed. The left end of the rib 131 will extend beyond the left side of this groove 113; similarly, the right end of the rib 131 will also extend beyond the groove 113 located to the right of the upper opening 112. In this case, the length of the rib 131 is greater than the distance between the two grooves 113.
[0049] Specifically, there is one protruding rib 131, which is elongated and positioned below the rotating shaft 121 to prevent it from detaching. Alternatively, there may be at least two protruding ribs 131, spaced apart from each other. When there are two protruding ribs 131, each rib corresponds to a groove 113, meaning one protruding rib 131 mates with one groove 113. There may also be three, four, or more protruding ribs 131. It should be noted that one groove 113 can mate with one protruding rib 131 to prevent the rotating shaft 121 from detaching, or one groove 113 can mate with two or more protruding ribs 131 to prevent the rotating shaft 121 from detaching.
[0050] Specifically, an LCD screen 15 is also fixed on the top surface of the controller module 13. The LCD screen 15 and the protruding rib 131 are set independently and do not interfere with each other.
[0051] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 2 As shown, a support block 114 is provided on the side wall of the upper opening 112, and the support block 114 is located on the rotation trajectory of the transparent cover 12. The support block 114 is provided to provide support, and when the transparent cover 12 closes the upper opening 112, it provides support and fixation.
[0052] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 2 As shown, a first latch 122 is provided on the side of the transparent cover 12 away from the pivot 121, and the first latch 122 engages with the side wall of the upper opening 112. The first latch 122 forms a fixed effect after the transparent cover 12 closes the upper opening 112. Here, the first latch 122 and the side wall of the upper opening 112 are tightly fastened, and the operator can release the lock by applying a certain amount of force, thus allowing the transparent cover 12 to be flipped. Here, the transparent cover 12 is also provided with a drive groove for the operator to drive, making it convenient for the operator to open the transparent cover 12 and release the latch 122.
[0053] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 1-3 As shown, the main body 11 includes a first cover plate 16 and a second cover plate 17. The first cover plate 16 and the second cover plate 17 cooperate to form a receiving cavity 111. The first cover plate 16 is located above the second cover plate 17, and a groove 113 is provided on the inner wall of the first cover plate 16. The controller module 13 is connected to the second cover plate 17. The first cover plate 16 and the controller module 13 cooperate to form a rotating shaft groove 14. Through the mutual cooperation between the first cover plate 16, the second cover plate 17, and the controller module 13, the installation of the transparent cover 12 is realized, achieving the relative rotation effect of the transparent cover 12.
[0054] Specifically, one of the controller module 13 and the second cover plate 17 is provided with a fixing post 18, and the other of the controller module 13 and the second cover plate 17 is provided with a fixing hole 19 that mates with the fixing post 18. The fixing post 18 and the fixing hole 19 mate to form a fixed effect between the two. Alternatively, they can be fastened with bolts. In this embodiment, the second cover plate 17 is provided with three fixing posts 18, and the controller module 13 is provided with four fixing holes 19. The three fixing posts 18 mate with the three corresponding fixing holes 19, and the remaining fixing hole 19 is connected and fixed to the second cover plate 17 by a bolt passing through it, forming a connection and fixation effect between the controller module 13 and the second cover plate 17. In addition, the controller module 13 and the second cover plate 17 can also be directly installed and fixed by bolts, or the controller module 13 and the second cover plate 17 can be fixed by a snap-fit connection.
[0055] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 5-6 As shown, the controller module 13 includes a cover 20 and a base 21. The cover 20 and the base 21 cooperate to form a chamber 22, and a circuit board 23 is fixed in the chamber 22. The circuit board 23 is electrically connected to the liquid crystal display screen 15, which is prior art and therefore will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The cooperation between the cover 20 and the base 21 fixes the circuit board 23, making the circuit board 23 more stable. The cover 20 is located above the base 21, and a protruding rib 131 is provided on the cover 20. The bottom surface of the base 21 is also provided with a wire hole for the power cord to pass through.
[0056] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 5-6 As shown, both the cover 20 and the base 21 are provided with support ribs 24, which support and fix the circuit board 23. The number and size of the support ribs 24 can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0057] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 5-6 As shown, one of the cover 20 and the base 21 is provided with a second buckle 25, and the other of the cover 20 and the base 21 is provided with a second groove 26 that cooperates with the second buckle 25. The second buckle 25 and the second groove 26 cooperate to form a fixed installation between the cover 20 and the base 21 without tools, making assembly more convenient.
[0058] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
