The connection point is sealed by the wiring plug.
[0014] Furthermore, an electrical component mounting plate is fixedly installed inside the electrical cabinet, and an mounting plate is fixedly installed on the back side of the electrical cabinet.

[0032] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0033] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-2 The illustrated live-line protection control cabinet includes an electrical cabinet body 2. The electrical cabinet body 2 houses a ranging sensor 1, a signal conversion module 3, a voltage acquisition unit 4, a PLC controller 5, an execution relay 6, and an electromagnet 7. The output terminal of the ranging sensor 1 is connected to the input terminal of the signal conversion module 3, wherein the signal conversion module 3 is an XC-DW enhanced power distribution isolator, and the ranging sensor 1 is a GP2Y0A02YK0F infrared ranging sensor. The output terminal of the signal conversion module 3 is connected to the input terminal of the PLC controller 5. The LC controller model is set to FX3U-16MT / DSS. The output terminal of PLC controller 5 is connected to the input terminal of execution relay 6. The output terminal of voltage acquisition device 4 is connected to the input terminal of PLC controller 5. Voltage acquisition device 4 is set to YK-3D3 series power acquisition converter. The output terminal of execution relay 6 is connected to the input terminal of electromagnet 7. Voltage acquisition device 4 is connected to the power input terminal of electrical cabinet body 2. PLC controller 5 controls execution relay 6 to cut off the power supply by detecting the input power supply and the opening and closing status of the cabinet door of electrical cabinet body 2.
[0034] Specifically, when the electrical cabinet door 22 of the electrical cabinet body 2 is opened, the distance sensor 1 transmits the signal of the distance change detected by the door opening to the signal conversion module 3. The signal conversion module 3 converts the distance signal into an electrical signal and sends it to the PLC controller 5. The PLC controller 5 issues a command to the voltage acquisition device 4 to acquire the voltage at the power input terminal of the electrical cabinet body 2. The voltage acquisition device 4 feeds back the acquired information to the PLC controller 5. The PLC controller 5 issues an execution command to the execution relay 6 based on the feedback information. During the overall control process, the detected distance value of the electrical cabinet door 22 should be set to ensure that the opening degree of the electrical cabinet door 22 is not greater than 5mm to ensure accuracy during use. This method can prevent electric shock accidents caused by the internal circuit being energized when the cabinet door is opened due to misoperation or improper operation.
[0035] More specifically, refer to the appendix Figure 3-4 The electrical cabinet body 2 includes an electrical cabinet body 21 and an electrical cabinet door 22. One side of the electrical cabinet door 22 is rotatably connected to the electrical cabinet body 21 via a hinge. A mechanical lock 25 is provided between the electrical cabinet door 22 and the electrical cabinet body 21 on the side away from the hinge. This allows maintenance personnel to open the electrical cabinet door 22 with a key during routine maintenance, while locking the electrical cabinet door 22 with the mechanical lock 25 during non-maintenance periods to ensure daily use safety. The mechanical lock 25 serves as the daily opening and closing component of the electrical cabinet body 2.
[0036] Multiple wiring plugs 24 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the electrical cabinet body 21. Through holes are provided at the connection between the electrical cabinet body 21 and the wiring plugs 24, and the wiring plugs 24 are engaged with the through holes. The wiring plugs 24 are made of rubber material. The power cord is connected to the circuit inside the electrical cabinet body 2 through the wiring plugs 24, which effectively avoids wear or scratches caused by direct contact between the power cord and the electrical cabinet body 21. The connection is sealed by the wiring plugs 24. An electrical component mounting plate is fixedly installed inside the electrical cabinet body 21. An mounting plate is fixedly installed on the back side of the electrical cabinet body 21. The electrical cabinet body 2 is fixedly installed on the wall / ground of the assembly location by the mounting plate and bolts. The necessary electrical components such as meters, terminals, and circuit breakers are installed on the electrical component mounting plate.
[0037] A manual control button 23 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the electrical cabinet 21. The input terminal of the manual control button 23 is connected to the input terminal of the PLC controller 5. An upper baffle 27 is fixedly installed on the top front side of the inner cavity of the electrical cabinet 21. An electromagnet 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom side wall of the upper baffle 27. A lower baffle 26 is installed at the bottom of the upper baffle 27. A connecting iron block is fixedly installed at the top side wall of the lower baffle 26. Both the upper baffle 27 and the lower baffle 26 are made of transparent PVC or acrylic sheets. An adjustment groove is opened at the connection between the bottom of the electrical cabinet 21 and the lower baffle 26. A sealing strip is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower baffle 26. The sealing strip is made of rubber. An adjustment slide groove 28 is provided on the inner wall of the electrical cabinet 21. The lower baffle 26 slides up and down along the adjustment slide groove 28.
[0038] The upper baffle 27 and the lower baffle 26 together form a transparent panel embedded in the electrical cabinet body 21, adding a "safety wall" before the electrical mounting plates inside the electrical cabinet can be opened through the cabinet door 22. This allows for observation of whether the electronic components inside the electrical cabinet body 2 are still operating (energized) in case of electronic component detection errors or malfunctions, after opening the cabinet door 22 via the mechanical lock 25. If a malfunction occurs and the power is not cut off, the electromagnet 7 will attract the connected iron block, preventing the lower baffle 26 from opening and preventing maintenance personnel from accessing the internal energized components. In such cases, manual control can be used to... The manual input of an electrical signal is controlled by button 23. After receiving the electrical signal, the PLC controller 5 controls the relay 6 to cut off the power. At this time, the electromagnet 7 loses its attraction to the connected iron block. The maintenance personnel can pull down the lower baffle 26 and slide it down along the adjusting slide 28 to make the electrical component mounting plate inside the electrical cabinet 21 connected to the external electrical components, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to perform maintenance and repair. The addition of a manual adjustment mode on the basis of pure automation further avoids electric shock accidents caused by the internal circuit being energized when the cabinet door is opened due to misoperation or violation of regulations.
[0039] Working principle of this utility model:
[0040] Fully automatic detection: When the distance sensor 1 detects that the electrical cabinet door 22 is open, the PLC controller 5 sends a command to the execution relay 6 to cut off the power supply. As long as the cabinet door is open, it ensures that there is no live operation.
[0041] Manual power off: If the detection element is damaged or misjudged, the power is cut off by manually controlling button 23. In addition, a baffle consisting of upper baffle 27 and lower baffle 26 is added. In the case of non-power off, even if the electrical cabinet door 22 is opened, the circuit will still be isolated from the outside of the cabinet.
[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
