Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equipment interlocking technology, and in particular to interlocking structures and their electrical equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In large electrical equipment, such as high-voltage switchgear, the working environment is under high voltage. To ensure operational safety, operators must strictly follow the operating procedures, open the cabinet door, and carry out internal operations.

[0003] However, due to the lack of interlock protection function, the cabinet door is prone to being accidentally disassembled by operators while the equipment is powered on, which poses a great safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an interlocking structure and its electrical equipment to realize the interlocking protection function, prevent operators from accidentally disassembling the cabinet door when the equipment is in the closed state, and improve safety.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An interlocking structure for locking and unlocking a cabinet door, the cabinet door being detachably mounted on the body by fasteners, comprising:

[0007] An interlocking plate is slidably connected to the cabinet door, and the interlocking plate has a first state of covering the fastener and a second state of opening the fastener;

[0008] A transmission component, one end of which is connected to the interlocking plate, and the other end of which is connected to the operating mechanism. When the operating mechanism switches to the closed state, it can drive the transmission component to place the interlocking plate in the first state; when the operating mechanism switches to the grounded state, it can drive the transmission component to place the interlocking plate in the second state.

[0009] As an alternative to the interlocking structure, the interlocking plate has at least two blocking parts, each of which can block the corresponding fastener.

[0010] As an alternative to the interlocking structure, the transmission component is flexible.

[0011] As an alternative to the interlocking structure, the interlocking structure further includes a support sleeve, which is sleeved on the transmission component.

[0012] As an alternative to the interlocking structure, one end of the support sleeve is screwed onto the operating mechanism.

[0013] As an alternative to the interlocking structure, the transmission component is a rigid structure.

[0014] As an alternative to the interlocking structure, the two ends of the transmission member are respectively hinged to the interlocking plate and the operating mechanism.

[0015] Electrical equipment, including operating mechanism, body, cabinet door and interlocking structure as described in any of the above schemes.

[0016] As an optional solution for electrical equipment, the cabinet door is provided with a limiting groove. When the interlocking plate is in the second state, the interlocking plate is placed in the limiting groove, and the shape of the limiting groove matches the shape of the interlocking plate.

[0017] As an optional solution for electrical equipment, the interlocking plate is provided with a sliding part, and the cabinet door is provided with a sliding groove, and the sliding part can slide within the sliding groove.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] In this invention, the cabinet door is fixed to the main body by multiple bolts. The interlocking plate is a rectangular plate. When the operating mechanism is closed, the movable plate on the operating mechanism drives the interlocking plate, causing the interlocking plate to cover the fasteners. This prevents operators from using tools to remove the fasteners, ensuring that the cabinet door cannot be disassembled while the electrical equipment is closed, and thus preventing any operation on the internal structure of the cabinet. Furthermore, when the operating mechanism is grounded, the movable plate on the operating mechanism drives the interlocking plate in the opposite direction, exposing the fasteners. This allows operators to easily disassemble the fasteners with tools, thereby enabling the disassembly of the cabinet door and operation on the internal structure of the cabinet. This interlocking structure achieves the interlocking function by switching the state of the interlocking plate through the action of the operating mechanism. It also prevents operators from accidentally disassembling the cabinet door while the equipment is closed, improving safety. In addition, operators can directly determine the state of the operating mechanism by observing the state of the interlocking plate, achieving a visualization function. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2The first aspect of this embodiment relates to an interlocking structure that can be used for locking and unlocking a cabinet door 100, such as a switchgear. In this embodiment, the cabinet door 100 is detachably mounted on the body 200 by fasteners 110. The interlocking structure includes an interlocking plate 1 and a transmission member 2. The interlocking plate 1 is slidably connected to the cabinet door 100 and has a first state that covers the fasteners 110 and a second state that opens the fasteners 110. One end of the transmission member 2 is connected to the interlocking plate 1, and the other end of the transmission member 2 is connected to an operating mechanism 300. When the operating mechanism 300 switches to the closed state, the operating mechanism 300 can drive the transmission member 2 to place the interlocking plate 1 in the first state. When the operating mechanism 300 switches to the grounded state, the operating mechanism 300 can drive the transmission member 2 to place the interlocking plate 1 in the second state.

[0030] In this embodiment, the fastener 110 can be a common bolt. The cabinet door 100 is fixed to the body 200 by multiple bolts. The interlocking plate 1 is a rectangular plate. When the operating mechanism 300 is closed, the movable plate on the operating mechanism 300 drives the interlocking plate 1, so that the interlocking plate 1 can cover the fastener 110 accordingly. At this time, the operator cannot use tools to disassemble the fastener 110, ensuring that the entire electrical equipment cannot be operated or disassembled when the circuit is closed, and naturally, the internal structure of the cabinet cannot be operated. Furthermore, when the operating mechanism 300 is grounded, the movable plate on the operating mechanism 300 further drives the interlocking plate 1 in the opposite direction, so that the interlocking plate 1 can open the fastener 110 and expose the fastener 110, thereby facilitating the operator to disassemble the fastener 110 with tools, thereby realizing the disassembly of the cabinet door 100 and the operation of the internal structure of the cabinet.

[0031] This interlocking structure achieves the interlocking function by switching the state of the interlocking plate 1 through the action of the operating mechanism 300. At the same time, it can also prevent operators from accidentally disassembling the cabinet door 100 when the equipment is closed, thus improving safety. In addition, operators can directly observe the state of the interlocking plate 1 to determine the state of the operating mechanism 300, thus achieving a visualization function.

[0032] Optionally, the interlocking plate 1 has at least two blocking parts 11, each blocking part 11 being able to block the corresponding fastener 110.

[0033] In this embodiment, two cabinet doors 100 are arranged sequentially along the vertical direction, and each cabinet door 100 is provided with a corresponding fastener 110. The interlocking plate 1 forms a blocking part 11 at each of its two vertical ends to block the fastener 110. Those skilled in the art will understand that the number of blocking parts 11 on a single interlocking plate 1 can be adaptively adjusted. The specific arrangement of multiple blocking parts 11 can be determined according to the layout of the fastener 110. If space permits, multiple interlocking plates 1 can be set, and the multiple interlocking plates 1 can be connected sequentially to realize the linkage of multiple interlocking plates 1.

[0034] Optionally, the transmission component 2 is flexible.

[0035] Specifically, the transmission component 2 can be made of steel cable. The steel cable is flexible, but it is not stretchable in its extension direction, so it can reciprocate to drive the interlocking plate 1 to move.

[0036] In one embodiment of this invention, the transmission component 2 is flexible, enabling it to adapt to various layout configurations between the operating mechanism 300 and the cabinet door 100, thereby improving adaptability.

[0037] Furthermore, the interlocking structure also includes a support sleeve 3, which is fitted onto the transmission component 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, the support sleeve 3 can be made of non-metallic insulating material, which has a certain high voltage resistance. The support sleeve 3 is sleeved on the transmission component 2 to protect the transmission component 2.

[0039] Furthermore, one end of the support sleeve 3 is screwed onto the operating mechanism 300.

[0040] In this embodiment, the support sleeve 3 is installed on the non-moving parts of the operating mechanism 300 by bolts. The specific installation position can be determined according to the structure of the operating mechanism 300 and the assembly layout of the parts.

[0041] Optionally, the transmission component 2 is a rigid structure. Both ends of the transmission component 2 are hinged to the interlocking plate 1 and the operating mechanism 300, respectively.

[0042] In another embodiment of this invention, the transmission component 2 can be a rigid rod. By hinged to the interlocking plate 1 and the operating mechanism 300 at both ends of the transmission component 2, the transmission control of the movable plate of the operating mechanism 300 to the interlocking plate 1 can be realized.

[0043] The second aspect of this embodiment also relates to an electrical device, which includes an operating mechanism 300, a body 200, a cabinet door 100, and an interlocking structure thereof.

[0044] Electrical equipment based on the above interlocking structure can achieve interlocking protection functions, avoid operator misoperation, and improve safety.

[0045] Optionally, the cabinet door 100 is provided with a limiting groove 120. When the interlocking plate 1 is in the second state, the interlocking plate 1 is placed in the limiting groove 120, and the shape of the limiting groove 120 matches the shape of the interlocking plate 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the size of the limiting groove 120 is slightly larger than the size of the interlocking plate 1. The limiting groove 120 can stably place the interlocking plate 1 inside it, thereby preventing the interlocking plate 1 from acting in the opposite direction to the transmission component 2 due to other factors, thus affecting the position of the movable plate on the operating mechanism 300.

[0047] Optionally, the interlocking plate 1 is provided with a sliding part, and the cabinet door 100 is provided with a sliding groove, and the sliding part can slide in the sliding groove.

[0048] Specifically, the sliding part can be a slide rail, and a strip-shaped slide groove is provided on the cabinet door 100 to ensure the accuracy of the movement direction of the interlocking plate 1.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
