[0034] As a preamble to the embodiments of this application, large electrical cabinets on the market currently refer to the structure of shipping containers, with heights exceeding 2.8 meters. Electrical and fire protection units installed within these containers typically require maintenance and operation at considerable heights. Combined with the height of the battery cabinet's foundation, the maintenance and operation of electrical and fire protection units located in the upper and middle layers are inconvenient, increasing maintenance difficulty. Furthermore, maintenance is limited by site constraints, occupies additional space, and suffers from poor timeliness and convenience.

[0035] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide an electrical cabinet, which aims to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 7As shown, this application embodiment provides an electrical cabinet, including a frame 1 and a pedal device 2. The pedal device 2 includes a connector 21 and a pedal 22. The connector 21 is fixedly connected to the frame 1; the pedal 22 is rotatably connected to the connector 21. The pedal 22 can rotate relative to the connector 21 between a first position a and a second position b. When the pedal 22 is in the first position a, the pedal 22 unfolds relative to the frame 1; when the pedal 22 is in the second position b, the pedal 22 retracts relative to the frame 1. It should be understood that by combining the pedal device 2 with the frame 1 of the electrical cabinet, more convenient and timely maintenance is achieved without occupying external space of the electrical cabinet. The design of the pedal 22 and the connector 21 for rotation is highly flexible. When the pedal 22 is in the first position a, that is, when the pedal 22 unfolds outward relative to the frame 1, the operator can stand at a higher position using the pedal 22 to facilitate operation, debugging, and maintenance of equipment at higher positions in the electrical cabinet. The operator does not need to use additional climbing tools; they can easily access the equipment by simply stepping on the unfolded pedal 22, reducing preparation time and improving work efficiency. Compared to using a ladder, the step 22 is connected directly to the electrical cabinet, offering better stability and reducing safety risks for operators working at heights. When the step 22 is in the second position b, i.e., when it is retracted relative to the frame 1, it does not occupy additional space around the electrical cabinet. This allows the electrical cabinet to maintain a compact shape when the step 22 is not in use, preventing obstruction of passageways or collisions with other equipment, thus effectively improving space utilization. The step device 2 in the electrical cabinet of this application has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and install, and has low maintenance costs.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the frame 1 includes a column 11, and a connector 21 is disposed on the column 11; the pedal 22 has a first end 221 and a second end 222 opposite to each other. The first end 221 is rotatably connected to the connector 21. When the pedal 22 switches from the first position a to the second position b, the second end 222 can move toward the column 11. When the pedal 22 switches from the second position b to the first position a, the second end 222 can move away from the column 11. It should be understood that by providing the pedal device 2 on the column 11 of the frame 1, the connection between the column 11 and the pedal 22 is stable and can provide sufficient support strength for the pedal 22, providing more reliable support for the operator, reducing shaking interference during operation, and further improving the convenience and efficiency of operation. Furthermore, the pedal 22 can fit against the column 11 to the maximum extent when retracted, further reducing the space occupied around the electrical cabinet. It should be understood that the connector 21 in this application includes a fixed seat and a rotating shaft (e.g., a rotating shaft disposed on the fixed seat) Figure 3The mounting base and the column 11 are attached and fixedly connected. The specific connection method includes one or a combination of screw connection, welding, and mortise and tenon connection. The mounting base and the column 11 adopt a detachable connection method, which facilitates installation and manufacturing, and at the same time helps to reduce the maintenance cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment, and ensures greater safety.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the pedal device 2 further includes a support member 23, which is disposed on the connector 21. When the pedal 22 is in the first position a, the pedal 22 is supported on the support member 23. It should be understood that the support member 23 can provide additional support for the pedal 22, further enhancing the stability of the pedal 22. Integrating the support member 23 into the connector 21 facilitates manufacturing, reduces modifications to the frame 1, and since the support member 23 is a consumable part, its placement on the connector 21 facilitates maintenance and replacement. In some embodiments, there are two first positions a, located in two opposite rotational directions, and two corresponding support members 23 are provided. The pedal 22 can rotate in either direction and is supported on the support member 23, providing additional backup support and limiting for the pedal 22.

[0039] Please see Figures 4 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the frame 1 includes a crossbeam 12, and a connector 21 is disposed on the crossbeam 12; the pedal 22 has a first end 221 and a second end 222 opposite to each other, the first end 221 is rotatably connected to the connector 21, and the second end 222 can rotate around the crossbeam 12. It should be understood that by placing the pedal device 2 on the crossbeam 12, the connection between the crossbeam 12 and the pedal 22 is stable and can provide sufficient support strength for the pedal 22, providing more reliable support for the operator, reducing shaking interference during operation, and further improving the convenience and efficiency of operation. When the pedal 22 switches from the first position a to the second position b, the second end 222 rotates around the crossbeam 12, and finally the pedal 22 retracts relative to the frame 1 and is housed in the space enclosed by the crossbeam 12 and the column 11, making the electrical cabinet compact when the pedal 22 is not in use, greatly improving space utilization.

[0040] Please see Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, connecting members 21 are provided on both sides of the pedal 22 in the extending direction of the crossbeam 12. It should be understood that by providing connecting members 21 on both sides of the pedal 22, the pedal 22 is made more stable during unfolding and retraction, and the connection reliability is higher. At the same time, it can provide a more uniform force distribution in the unfolded state of the pedal 22, reduce shaking interference during operation, and improve stability.

[0041] Please see Figures 5 to 6As shown, in some embodiments, the pedal device 2 further includes a support member 23, which is disposed on the pedal 22. The pedal 22 is in a first position a, and the pedal 22 is supported on the crossbeam 12 by the support member 23. It should be understood that by integrating the support member 23 onto the pedal 22, the support member 23 can form a stable support with the crossbeam 12, ensuring that the pedal 22 is in a stepable state. At the same time, the pedal 22 and the support member 23 can be an integral structure or a combined structure. Placing the support member 23 on the pedal 22 facilitates manufacturing and maintenance. It should be noted that after the pedal device 2 is installed, the crossbeam 12 retains sufficient space for the support member 23 to abut. The support member 23 can abut vertically against the upper surface of the crossbeam 12, or the support member 23 can abut against the outer side of the crossbeam 12 in the form of a diagonal brace.

[0042] Please see Figures 6 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the connector 21 includes an extension 211 and a connecting section 212 connected together. The connecting section 212 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 12, the extension 211 is arranged along the height direction X of the frame 1, and the pedal 22 is rotatably connected to the extension 211. It should be understood that the connector 21 can be an L-shaped structure, wherein the connecting section 212 is used for fixed connection to the crossbeam 12, and the extension 211 is arranged along the height direction X of the frame 1 for rotatable connection to the pedal 22, allowing for more flexible and controllable rotation range and angle of the pedal 22. It should be noted that in this application, the pedal 22 is provided with a rotating shaft for forming a rotational engagement with the extension 211.

[0043] Please see Figures 6 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the connector 21 further includes a limiting segment 213, which is connected to the end of the extension segment 211 away from the connecting segment 212. The pedal 22 is in the second position b, and the limiting segment 213 is connected to the foot surface 220 of the pedal 22. It should be understood that when the pedal 22 is in the second position b, the limiting segment 213 provides a limiting position for the pedal 22, ensuring that the pedal 22 is fixed in its retracted state. This prevents damage to the equipment inside the electrical cabinet due to the pedal 22 flipping and entering the cabinet, or causing short circuits and other safety accidents, greatly improving the safety of the electrical cabinet during use.

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 7As shown, in some embodiments, the pedal device 2 includes a limiting component 24. When the pedal 22 is in the second position b, the limiting component 24 connects the pedal 22 to the connecting member 21 or the frame 1 to lock the pedal 22. It should be understood that by setting the limiting component 24 to lock the pedal 22 in the second position b, the stability and safety of the pedal 22 in the retracted state are further enhanced. Even in extreme situations such as strong vibration or external impact, the limiting component 24 can ensure that the pedal 22 will not loosen or shift arbitrarily, effectively preventing safety accidents that may be caused by the accidental opening of the pedal 22, such as personnel injury or equipment damage, providing a more reliable guarantee for the safe use of the electrical cabinet.

[0045] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting component 24 includes a limiting seat 241 and a limiting pin 242. The limiting seat 241 has a positioning hole 2410; the limiting pin 242 can be inserted into the positioning hole 2410 of the limiting seat 241; one of the limiting seat 241 and the limiting pin 242 is provided on the pedal 22, and the other of the limiting seat 241 and the limiting pin 242 is provided on the frame 1 or the connecting member 21. The pedal 22 is in the second position b, and the limiting component 24 can lock the pedal 22. It should be understood that using the insertion and engagement of the limiting seat 241 and the limiting pin 242 to limit the pedal 22 is highly flexible, has low installation and maintenance costs, and is easy to operate.
