Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of signage technology, and in particular to an air switch signage. Background Technology
[0002] An air circuit breaker is a common component in power systems, primarily used to connect and isolate power sources and loads in a circuit. In existing technology, workers typically hang a "Do Not Close, People Working" sign on the air circuit breaker to prevent others from accidentally closing it by pushing the operating handle. However, in related technologies, the sign is often not securely attached to the air circuit breaker and can easily fall off. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an air switch sign to address the current problem of the sign not being securely connected to the air switch and the sign easily falling off the air switch.
[0004] An air switch sign includes:
[0005] The sign body has a snap-fit surface on one side along the first direction, and the snap-fit surface is provided with a groove;
[0006] Two grippers, each gripper including a gripping portion extending along the first direction and located on the snap-fit surface, the two gripping portions being correspondingly disposed on opposite sides of the groove along the second direction, the first direction and the second direction being intersecting, the gripping portion being connected to the sign body, and the gripping portion being configured to swing relative to the sign body along the second direction.
[0007] In one embodiment, the gripper includes a buffer layer disposed on the side of the clamping portion close to the groove along the second direction, and the side of the buffer layer opposite to the clamping portion is provided with a slot.
[0008] In one embodiment, the buffer layer has a plurality of slots on the side opposite to the clamping part, and the plurality of slots are arranged at intervals along the first direction.
[0009] In one embodiment, the buffer layer is configured to elastically deform along the second direction.
[0010] In one embodiment, the buffer layer is made of rubber.
[0011] In one embodiment, each of the grippers includes a pressing portion that extends along the first direction, and the pressing portion and the corresponding gripping portion are arranged along the first direction. The pressing portion is located on the side of the sign body opposite to the snap-fit surface along the first direction.
[0012] The pressing part is configured to swing relative to the sign body along the second direction, so as to drive the corresponding clamping part to swing relative to the sign body.
[0013] In one embodiment, each of the grippers includes a lifting portion;
[0014] The fixed end of the lifting part is located on the side of the corresponding clamping part away from the snap-fit surface, and the free end of the lifting part is away from the groove along the second direction.
[0015] In one embodiment, the groove includes an arcuate groove that is recessed in a direction away from the snap-fit surface and extends along a third direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are both intersecting the third direction;
[0016] The arc-shaped groove has protrusions on its wall, which divide the arc-shaped groove into a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove arranged along the second direction.
[0017] In one embodiment, the side of the sign body away from the snap-fit surface along the first direction is the sign surface, and the sign surface is provided with a sign for prohibiting the closing or opening of the gate.
[0018] In one embodiment, both the sign body and the gripper are made of plastic.
[0019] In this embodiment, the operator first observes the opening and closing status of the air switch, then attaches the snap-fit surface of the sign body to the air switch panel, aligning the groove on the snap-fit surface with the air switch operating handle. The air switch operating handle is then snapped into the groove, with the groove wall contacting the air switch operating handle to prevent the air switch operating handle from closing or opening. Next, a pushing force is applied to the two clamping parts in the air switch sign, causing the clamping parts to swing relative to the sign body in a second direction, moving them away from the groove. This allows the sign body to be clamped to the opposite sides of the air switch by the two clamping parts. During this process, the clamping parts undergo elastic deformation, generating elastic force at their connection point with the sign body. Under this elastic force, when the clamping parts contact the air switch, each clamping part applies pressure along the second direction towards its contact surface with the air switch, firmly clamping the sign body to the opposite sides of the air switch and reducing the risk of the air switch sign falling off the air switch.
[0020] In summary, the air switch sign in this embodiment, by setting the clamping part to swing relative to the sign body in the second direction, makes the sign body firmly clamped to the opposite sides of the air switch, reducing the risk of the air switch sign falling off the air switch.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an air switch identification plate according to an embodiment of this application is shown. An air switch identification plate 1000 provided in an embodiment of this application includes: an identification plate body 1100 and two grippers 1200. One side of the identification plate body 1100 along a first direction is a snap-fit surface 1110. The snap-fit surface 1110 is provided with a groove 1120. Each gripper 1200 includes a clamping part 1210. The clamping part 1210 extends along the first direction and is located on the snap-fit surface 1110. The two clamping parts 1210 are correspondingly provided on opposite sides of the groove 1120 along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are intersecting. The clamping part 1210 is connected to the identification plate body 1100 and is configured to swing relative to the identification plate body 1100 along the second direction.
[0034] In this embodiment, the operator first observes the open / closed state of the air switch (not shown), then attaches the snap-fit surface 1110 of the sign body 1100 to the air switch panel (not shown), aligning the groove 1120 on the snap-fit surface 1110 with the air switch operating handle (not shown), inserting the air switch operating handle into the groove 1120, with the groove wall of the groove 1120 contacting the air switch operating handle to prevent the air switch operating handle from closing or opening; then, a pushing force is applied to the two clamping parts 1210 in the air switch sign 1000, causing the clamping parts 1210 to swing relative to the sign body 1100 in a second direction. To keep the clamping part 1210 away from the groove 1120, the main body 1100 of the sign is clamped on the opposite sides of the air switch by the two clamping parts 1210. During this process, the clamping part 1210 undergoes elastic deformation, and the clamping part 1210 generates an elastic force at the connection between itself and the main body 1100 of the sign. Under the action of this elastic force, when the clamping part 1210 contacts the air switch, each clamping part 1210 applies pressure along the second direction toward the contact surface between itself and the air switch, so as to firmly clamp the main body 1100 of the sign to the opposite sides of the air switch, reducing the risk of the air switch sign 1000 falling off the air switch.
[0035] In summary, the air switch sign 1000 in this embodiment, by setting the clamping part 1210 to swing relative to the sign body 1100 in the second direction, makes the sign body 1100 firmly clamped to the opposite sides of the air switch, thereby reducing the risk of the air switch sign 1000 falling off the air switch.
[0036] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the gripper 1200 includes a buffer layer 1220, which is disposed on the side of the gripping portion 1210 near the groove 1120 along the second direction, and the side of the buffer layer 1220 away from the gripping portion 1210 is provided with a slot (not shown).
[0037] In this embodiment, when the sign body 1100 is clamped on the opposite sides of the air switch by the two clamping parts 1210, the buffer layer 1220 is located between the corresponding clamping part 1210 and the outer surface of the air switch. Since the buffer layer 122 has a slot on the side away from the clamping part 1210, the friction between the buffer layer 1220 and the contact surface of the air switch is increased, and the sign body 1100 can be more firmly clamped on the opposite sides of the air switch.
[0038] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the buffer layer 1220 has multiple slots on the side opposite to the clamping part 1210, and the multiple slots are arranged at intervals along the first direction.
[0039] In this embodiment, the buffer layer 1220 is provided with multiple slots arranged at intervals along the first direction on the side opposite to the clamping part 1210, which further increases the friction between the buffer layer 1220 and the air switch contact surface, thereby ensuring that the sign body 1100 is fixedly clamped to the opposite sides of the air switch.
[0040] In some embodiments, a plurality of slots arranged at intervals along a first direction are defined as a slot group. The buffer layer 1220 is provided with a plurality of slot groups on the side away from the clamping part 1210. The plurality of slot groups are arranged along a third direction, and the first direction and the second direction are both intersecting with the third direction.
[0041] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the buffer layer 1220 is configured to elastically deform along the second direction.
[0042] In this embodiment, when the sign body 1100 is clamped on the opposite sides of the air switch by the two clamping parts 1210, the buffer layer 1220 undergoes elastic deformation under the pressure applied by the clamping parts 1210 towards the air switch. Since the buffer layer 1220 is elastic, there is soft contact between the buffer layer 1220 and the outer surface of the air switch. Therefore, even if the staff clamps the sign body 1100 on the opposite sides of the air switch by the two clamping parts 1210 multiple times, the outer surface of the air switch will not be damaged or worn.
[0043] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the material of the buffer layer 1220 includes rubber.
[0044] In this embodiment, by setting the material of the buffer layer 1220 to include rubber, on the one hand, the elasticity of the buffer layer 1220 can be guaranteed, and on the other hand, the insulation of the buffer layer 1220 can be guaranteed.
[0045] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, each gripper 1200 includes a pressing portion 1230 extending along a first direction. The pressing portion 1230 and the corresponding clamping portion 1210 are arranged along the first direction. The pressing portion 1230 is located on the side of the sign body 1100 away from the snap-fit surface 1110 along the first direction. The pressing portion 1230 is configured to swing relative to the sign body 1100 along a second direction to drive the corresponding clamping portion 1210 to swing relative to the sign body 1100.
[0046] In this embodiment, the operator applies pressure to the two pressing parts 1230, which pushes the pressing parts 1230 to swing relative to the sign body 1100 in the second direction, and causes the pressing parts 1230 to approach the groove 1120. During this process, each clamping part 1210 swings relative to the sign body 1100 in the second direction under the action of the corresponding pressing part 1230, so as to move away from the groove 1120. When the two clamping claws 1200 contact the opposite sides of the air switch, and the sign body 1100 is clamped on the opposite sides of the air switch by the two clamping parts 1210, the operator removes the pressing pressure, and the pressing parts 1230 stop swinging.
[0047] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, each gripper 1200 includes a lifting portion 1240, the fixed end of the lifting portion 1240 is located on the side of the corresponding clamping portion 1210 away from the snap-fit surface 1110, and the free end of the lifting portion 1240 is away from the groove 1120 along the second direction.
[0048] In this embodiment, the operator can apply a lifting force to the lifting part 1240 to pull the clamping part 1210 to swing relative to the sign body 1100 in the second direction, so that the clamping part 1210 moves away from the groove 1120, separating the contact between the clamping part 1210 and the air switch, and then remove the air switch sign 1000 from the air switch.
[0049] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the groove 1120 includes an arc-shaped groove (not shown in the figure), which is recessed in a direction away from the snap-fit surface 1110. The arc-shaped groove extends along a third direction, and both the first and second directions are intersected with the third direction. The groove wall of the arc-shaped groove is provided with a protrusion 1121, which divides the arc-shaped groove into a first limiting groove 1122 and a second limiting groove 1123 arranged along the second direction.
[0050] In this embodiment, when the air switch is opened, the air switch operating handle is engaged in the first limiting groove 1122, and the groove wall of the first limiting groove 1122 contacts the air switch operating handle, preventing the air switch operating handle from closing; when the air switch is closed, the air switch operating handle is engaged in the second limiting groove 1123, and the groove wall of the second limiting groove 1123 contacts the air switch operating handle, preventing the air switch operating handle from opening.
[0051] Alternatively, when the air switch is closed, the air switch operating handle is engaged in the first limit groove 1122, and the groove wall of the first limit groove 1122 contacts the air switch operating handle, preventing the air switch operating handle from opening; when the air switch is opened, the air switch operating handle is engaged in the second limit groove 1123, and the groove wall of the second limit groove 1123 contacts the air switch operating handle, preventing the air switch operating handle from closing.
[0052] In some embodiments, the size of the sign body 1100 along the second direction is 4.5cm, the distance between the side of the clamping part 1210 away from the card contact surface 1110 along the first direction and the side of the sign body 1100 away from the card contact surface 1110 along the first direction is 1.8cm, and the size of the sign body 1100 along the third direction is 0.9cm.
[0053] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the side of the sign body 1100 away from the card contact surface 1110 along the first direction is the sign surface 1130, and the sign surface 1130 is provided with a sign 1140 for prohibiting the closing or opening of the gate.
[0054] In this embodiment, by setting the identifier 1140, it is possible to prevent subsequent staff from altering the air switch operating handle.
[0055] In some embodiments, the identifier 1140 is in red font to serve as a warning, as the red color is eye-catching and makes it easy for subsequent staff to see the identifier 1140.
[0056] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, both the sign body 1100 and the gripper 1200 are made of plastic.
[0057] In this embodiment, both the sign body 1100 and the gripper 1200 are made of plastic. On the one hand, this ensures that the sign body 1100 and the gripper 1200 are insulated. On the other hand, it reduces the manufacturing cost of the sign body 1100 and the gripper 1200, thereby reducing the cost of producing the air switch sign 1000 and facilitating its widespread use.
[0058] In other embodiments, the sign body 1100 and the gripper 1200 are made of ABS thermosetting plastic.
[0059] In this embodiment, compared with traditional plastics, ABS thermosetting plastic is insulating and has higher flexibility, which can improve the service life of the air switch sign 1000.
[0060] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0061] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
