Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model provides an embodiment of a locking mechanism for a ring main unit and the ring main unit itself. The ring main unit includes a cabinet 1, which serves as the external frame of the entire device. A rotating door 2 is rotatably connected to the front of the cabinet 1, providing protection for the interior of the cabinet 1 and enabling flexible opening and closing. A partition plate 3 is fixedly connected inside the cabinet 1, dividing the internal space and improving the rationality of the layout. A rotating handle 4 is rotatably connected inside the rotating door 2, serving as the component for operating the locking mechanism. A bevel gear 5 is fixedly connected to the rear of the rotating handle 4, meshing with a bevel gear 10. A through hole 6 is provided on the exterior of the partition plate 3, providing space for the meshing of the bevel gear 5 and the bevel gear 10.

[0033] Reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, electrical component 7 is fixedly connected inside the cabinet 1. Electrical component 7 is the core component of the ring main unit. The external parts of electrical component 7 and the external parts of the card block 8 are electrically connected. The card block 8 can cooperate with the connecting block 14 to realize the on / off control of the circuit. The internal parts of the partition plate 3 are fixedly connected to the card block 8. The position of the card block 8 is reasonably designed so that it can accurately cooperate with the connecting block 14. The internal parts of the partition plate 3 are rotatably connected to the rotating rod 9. The rotating rod 9 is a component for transmitting power. The external parts of the rotating rod 9 are fixedly connected to the bevel gear 10. The bevel gear 10 can mesh with the bevel gear 5 for transmission. The external parts of the bevel gear 10 are fixedly connected to multiple elliptical blocks 11. The elliptical blocks 11 can push the arc block 12 to move during rotation. The external parts of the elliptical blocks 11 are rotatably connected inside the partition plate 3 to ensure the stable movement of the elliptical blocks 11.

[0034] The external bevel gear 10 is rotatably connected to the inside of the partition plate 3 to ensure the stable movement of the bevel gear 10. The external elliptical block 11 is rotatably connected to the arc block 12, which can move under the push of the elliptical block 11. Multiple support blocks 13 are fixedly connected inside the partition plate 3. The support blocks 13 can provide support for the connecting block 14 and ensure the stable movement of the connecting block 14. The internal arc block 12 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 14, which can cooperate with the locking block 8 to realize the on / off control of the circuit. The bottom of the connecting block 14 is rotatably connected to the top of the support block 13 to ensure the stable movement of the connecting block 14. The external of the connecting block 14 is engaged with the internal of the locking block 8 to realize the connection control of the circuit.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the cabinet 1 has a cable management compartment 15 inside, which serves as a space for organizing and arranging cables. Two fixing blocks 16 are fixedly connected inside the cable management compartment 15. The fixing blocks 16 are components for installing label assemblies and clamping cables. Label assemblies for identification are fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing blocks 16. The label assemblies include multiple label clips 17, which can mark different cables, allowing operators to quickly identify the cables. The multiple label clips 17 are arranged linearly outside the fixing blocks 16, ensuring neat label arrangement and easy viewing.

[0036] The fixed block 16 has two sliding grooves 18 inside, which provide a track for the sliding of the slider 26. The fixed block 16 has a limiting groove 19 outside, which provides space for the movement of the limiting block 21. A limiting rod 20 is fixedly connected inside the limiting groove 19, which serves as a sliding track for the limiting block 21. The limiting block 21 is slidably connected to the outside of the limiting rod 20 to ensure the stability of the movement of the limiting block 21. The limiting block 21 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed block 16 and the limiting groove 19 to ensure the stability of the movement of the limiting block 21.

[0037] A spring 22 is fitted around the outside of the limiting block 21. The spring 22 provides elastic restoring force to the mounting block 24. One side of the spring 22 is fixedly connected to the inside of the limiting groove 19 to ensure that the spring 22 is securely installed. The other side of the spring 22 is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting block 21, so that the spring 22 can effectively act on the limiting block 21. A connecting rod 23 is rotatably connected to the outside of the limiting block 21, and the connecting rod 23 can connect the limiting block 21 and the mounting block 24.

[0038] The front sides of the two connecting rods 23 are rotatably connected to the mounting block 24. The mounting block 24 serves as a component for connecting the first clamping plate 25. The first clamping plate 25 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting block 24. The first clamping plate 25 can cooperate with the second clamping plate 27 to clamp the line. The first clamping plate 25 is fixedly connected to the outside of the two sliders 26. The sliders 26 can slide in the slide groove 18. The second clamping plate 27 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing block 16. The second clamping plate 27 can cooperate with the first clamping plate 25 to clamp the line.

[0039] Working Principle: In the ring main unit, the partition plate 3 in cabinet 1 divides the internal space of cabinet 1, improving the rationality of the internal layout. When opening and closing the rotating door 2, the locking operation must be completed first. Rotating the handle 4 causes the handle 4 to drive the bevel gear 5 to rotate. The bevel gear 5 meshes with the bevel gear 10 on the rotating rod 9 inside cabinet 1 through the through hole 6 on cabinet 1. When the rotating rod 9 rotates, it drives the elliptical block 11 to rotate. During its rotation, the elliptical block 11 pushes the arc block 12 to move. The arc block 12 pulls the connecting block 14, causing the connecting block 14 to disengage from the locking block 8, thus disconnecting the locking block 8 from the electrical component 7. This achieves the function of shutting down and disconnecting the ring main unit circuit, ensuring a quick and safe circuit cutoff in case of maintenance or emergency.

[0040] Inside cabinet 1, the cable management compartment 15 is specifically designed for organizing and arranging cables. Label clips 17 mounted on the fixing block 16 can mark different cables, allowing operators to quickly identify the purpose and connection status of each cable, facilitating management and maintenance. Cables are placed between clamping plates 25 and 27, and the slider 26 slides within the groove 18, causing clamping plate 27 to move closer to clamping plate 25, thus clamping the cable. A limiting block 21 moves within a limiting groove 19, restricting the movement range of the slider 26 and ensuring appropriate clamping force—neither too loose, causing cable loosening, nor too tight, damaging the cable. Spring 22, via connecting rod 23, pushes the mounting block 24, causing it to move clamping plate 25 in conjunction with clamping plate 27 to classify and organize the cables, keeping them neat and orderly, preventing tangled cables, and facilitating quick and accurate location of target cables during maintenance and repair, improving work efficiency and safety.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
