Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a position status indication mechanism for a centrally located cabinet handcart. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, substation operation and maintenance requires on-site operators to confirm the position of the circuit breakers and functional vehicles in the switchgear using two signal sources with different principles before and after operation. The first signal source is an electrical signal, which is generally provided by the auxiliary switches on the chassis of the circuit breaker and functional vehicle to provide signals for the working position and test position, and is electrically connected to the position indicator lights in the instrument room through the secondary circuit. The second signal source is a physical signal, which is generally determined by physically observing the position markings on the circuit breaker trolley through the observation window of the front middle door of the circuit breaker compartment.
[0003] For a second physical signal source, the following two methods are commonly used:
[0004] The first method: On the secondary line protection plates on both sides of the circuit breaker compartment, affix position indicator labels corresponding to the "test position" and "operating position" of the circuit breaker, respectively, and confirm the position signal through the observation window.
[0005] The first method is to add a position indicator mechanism to the chassis of the circuit breaker, and indicate the position through the observation window of the position indicator mechanism.
[0006] However, the above two methods have the following drawbacks: 1. The circuit breaker room is a closed compartment with no lighting, and the insufficient light is not conducive to observation; 2. Due to the requirements of arc explosion prevention, the size of the observation window of the front and middle doors cannot be too large, which limits the observation of the circuit breaker and the position of the functional vehicle. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a central switchgear trolley position status indication mechanism that is simple in structure, low in cost, easy to use, and easy to observe the arrival status of circuit breakers and functional vehicles.

[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows:
[0033] After the circuit breaker trolley is pushed into the cabinet, it is initially in the test position. At this time, the rear of the circuit breaker trolley chassis is in contact with the circuit breaker travel push plate 4 (specifically, the part of the guide connecting plate 18 extending out of the guide hole 19). When the circuit breaker trolley moves to the working position, the circuit breaker will push the circuit breaker travel push plate 4 backward. During the backward movement, the circuit breaker travel push plate 4 drives the swing connecting rod 5 to rotate clockwise (viewed from bottom to top) through the Z-shaped groove. The other end of the swing connecting rod 5 pushes the trolley position indicator plate 6 to move to the right until the circuit breaker reaches the working position. The "working position" mark on the trolley position indicator plate 6 will then be fully visible in the observation hole of the circuit breaker platform plate 1. Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown; when the circuit breaker returns from the working position to the test position, the circuit breaker travel push plate 4 will move forward under the tension of the return spring 7. During the backward movement of the circuit breaker travel push plate 4, the swing linkage 5 will rotate counterclockwise (viewed from bottom to top) through the Z-shaped groove. The other end of the swing linkage 5 will push the handcart position indicator plate 6 to the left until the circuit breaker reaches the test position. The "Test Position" mark on the handcart position indicator plate 6 will then be fully visible in the observation hole 9 of the circuit breaker platform plate 1. Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown.
[0034] The embodiments of this utility model are not limited thereto. Based on the above content of this utility model, and in accordance with the common technical knowledge and conventional means in the field, without departing from the basic technical idea of this utility model, this utility model can also be modified, replaced or changed in various other forms, all of which fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
