Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch cabinet technology, specifically a switch cabinet with a protective structure. Background Technology

[0002] Switchgear is a critical piece of equipment in power systems, primarily used for controlling, protecting, and distributing electrical energy. It includes high-voltage and low-voltage switchgear, enabling circuit switching operations and fault protection. To ensure normal power transmission, switchgear requires regular inspection and maintenance to maintain its proper operation. However, the design of the cabinet doors in existing switchgear presents certain safety hazards during inspection or maintenance. Because the cabinet doors are open during inspection, maintenance personnel can easily slam them shut due to accidental contact. This not only hinders the smooth progress of maintenance work but can also lead to serious safety accidents, especially an increased risk of electric shock.

[0003] Patent CN220324993U discloses a high- and low-voltage switchgear with a protective structure. The switchgear includes a main body with a door hinged to its front. A protective structure exists between the switchgear and the door, comprising a long strip and a hollow cover. A guide hole is provided at the top of the hollow cover, and an elastic telescopic component is installed within the guide hole. The elastic telescopic component is fixedly mounted to a corresponding rotating mechanism. A rolling auxiliary ball is provided at the bottom of the elastic telescopic component. A positioning lock hole is provided at the bottom of the hollow cover's inner cavity, and an unlocking mechanism is provided at the bottom of the hollow cover. This invention automatically locks and limits the door to the switchgear body after it is opened, preventing the door from rotating when unlocked. This avoids the safety hazard of accidental door closure and electric shock to maintenance personnel, thus improving the safety of high- and low-voltage switchgear maintenance.

[0004] The aforementioned existing technology utilizes an elastic telescopic component consisting of a connecting block, a return spring, and a locking block, combined with an unlocking mechanism positioned at the locking hole, to fix the cabinet door in its open position and facilitate closure after maintenance. However, this structure still has certain drawbacks in practical applications. Specifically, the top of the hollow cover has a guide hole. After prolonged use, external dust and impurities may enter the hollow cover through this hole, obstructing the sliding path of the connecting block and even filling the locking hole with particles. This prevents the locking block from smoothly inserting into the locking hole, thus losing its locking function. This problem directly affects the safety and reliability of the switchgear. Therefore, to address the shortcomings of this protective structure, a switchgear with a protective structure is proposed to enhance safety during maintenance and ensure a safer and more reliable working environment for maintenance personnel. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a switch cabinet with a protective structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

The bottom end of the positioning rod 372 passes through the top of the rectangular sleeve 360. When the cabinet door 200 is opened, the bottom end of the positioning rod 372 is inserted into the slot 341.

[0040] The top of the positioning rod 372 passes through the top of the inner wall of the circular cover 371 and is fixedly connected to a pull block 375. The pull block 375 is used to manually lift the positioning rod 372 to release the lock. The bottom of the pull block 375 is in contact with the top of the circular cover 371. When the positioning rod 372 is not moved up, the bottom of the pull block 375 is always in contact with the top of the circular cover 371, which can prevent dust from entering the circular cover 371.

[0041] A spring 374 is sleeved on the outer side of the positioning rod 372. The spring 374 is used to provide a reset force so that the positioning rod 372 automatically returns to its original position. An annular reset block 373 is provided in the lower middle part of the outer wall of the positioning rod 372. The annular reset block 373 is used to limit the swing of the positioning rod 372 and compress the spring 374. The outer wall of the annular reset block 373 is in contact with the inner wall of the circular cover 371. The top end of the spring 374 abuts against the top of the inner wall of the circular cover 371, and the bottom end of the spring 374 abuts against the top of the annular reset block 373.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a frame-shaped rubber pad 380 is embedded at the left end of the inner wall of the rectangular sleeve 360. The inner wall of the frame-shaped rubber pad 380 is in contact with the outer wall of the movable rod 340. The frame-shaped rubber pad 380 is used to seal the gap between the movable rod 340 and the rectangular sleeve 360 ​​to prevent dust from entering the rectangular sleeve 360.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top end of the second threaded post 321 is threaded with a second anti-loosening nut 322. The second anti-loosening nut 322 is used to prevent the second rotating sleeve block 350 from falling off the second threaded post 321. The bottom of the second anti-loosening nut 322 does not contact the top of the rectangular sleeve 360 ​​to avoid rotational interference and retain the movement clearance.

[0044] The L-shaped mounting base 320 is located at the upper right corner of the front side of the cabinet door 200. The front side of the L-shaped mounting base 320 has two mounting holes 323, and the mounting holes 323 are connected to screws 390. The screws 390 are threaded to the front side of the cabinet door 200. When the cabinet door 200 is damaged, the L-shaped mounting base 320 can be disassembled, which facilitates the installation of the protective structure 300 and the new cabinet door 200.

[0045] In this embodiment, the switchgear with a protective structure is used when the operator manually opens the cabinet door 200. The cabinet door 200 rotates around the hinge, causing the L-shaped mounting base 320 and the second rotating sleeve 350 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the rectangular sleeve 360 ​​connected to the second rotating sleeve 350 pushes the movable rod 340 to slide inside the rectangular sleeve 360. The inclined push surface 342 of the movable rod 340 contacts the positioning insert 372 of the locking member 370 and pushes it to move upward. The positioning insert 372 compresses the spring 374. After the cabinet door 200 is fully opened, the movable rod 340 slides to the preset position of the rectangular sleeve 360. When the spring 374 releases its elastic force, the positioning rod 372 automatically inserts into the slot 341 of the movable rod 340, thus locking the cabinet door 200 in the open state. During maintenance, the frame-shaped rubber pad 380 seals the gap between the movable rod 340 and the rectangular sleeve 360 ​​to prevent external dust from entering. At the same time, the fixing protrusion 310 supports the sliding path of the movable rod 340 through the first rotating sleeve block 330, ensuring locking stability. After maintenance, the operator manually pulls the pull block 375 of the locking component 370, causing the positioning rod 372 to move upward and disengage from the slot 341, and then closes the cabinet door 200.

[0046] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
