Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of switch cabinets, specifically relating to a transfer device and switch cabinet suitable for switch cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] In modern power systems, switchgear plays a crucial role, widely used in all aspects of power generation, transmission, distribution, and energy conversion, undertaking the important responsibilities of switching, controlling, and protecting electrical equipment. Switchgear is found in various scenarios such as power plants, substations, petrochemical plants, metallurgical steel rolling mills, factories and mines, as well as residential communities and high-rise buildings.

[0003] During the production of switchgear, it is often necessary to move the switchgear. Since conventional switchgear is typically rectangular, it can only be moved using forklift pallets. Clearly, this method has its limitations. For example, it requires a separate forklift and forklift operators, and the forklift needs considerable operating space to function properly. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a transfer device suitable for switch cabinets, the purpose of which is to solve the shortcomings of existing methods for moving switch cabinets.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a transfer device suitable for switchgear, including a support component and movable wheels. The movable wheels are installed at both ends of the bottom of the support component. The support component is provided with connecting components at both ends of the support component. The connecting components can be detachably connected to the switchgear.

[0006] In this design, the connecting component can be connected to the switchgear. Furthermore, since the connecting component is located on the supporting component, and the supporting component is equipped with casters, the casters can move the switchgear after the connecting component is connected, thus enabling the switchgear to be transferred. This method of switchgear transfer eliminates the need for a forklift, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies that use forklifts for switchgear transfer.

[0007] Preferably, since different switchgear cabinets have different sizes, in order to ensure that the transfer device can be adapted to switchgear cabinets of different sizes, the support component of this solution includes a telescopic structure, which is used to adjust the distance between the moving wheels at both ends. This solution achieves adaptation of the distance between the moving wheels to the switchgear size by adjusting the distance between the moving wheels through the telescopic structure.

[0008] Preferably, to achieve telescopic extension, the telescopic structure of this solution includes an insert and a receiving opening. Each of the insert and the receiving opening is equipped with a movable wheel. The insert is embedded into the receiving opening, and changing the embedding depth of the insert changes the distance between the movable wheels. This solution adjusts the distance between the movable wheels through the plug-in fit between the insert and the receiving opening.

[0009] Preferably, to make the transfer device more stable during movement, this solution uses four moving wheels arranged in a rectangular pattern. The four moving wheels cooperate to support the support component, making the support component more stable, and thus making the switchgear transfer process more stable.

[0010] Preferably, in order to increase the turning flexibility of the transfer device, the moving wheels in this solution are omnidirectional wheels.

[0011] Preferably, to achieve a detachable connection with the switchgear, the connecting component in this solution is a pin, which can be inserted into the switchgear. This solution uses a pin to connect with the switchgear, allowing the casters to be stably positioned at the bottom of the switchgear.

[0012] Preferably, the supporting component in this embodiment is a supporting plate, and the moving wheel is installed at the bottom of the supporting plate.

[0013] Preferably, in this second embodiment, the supporting component is a support rod, and the two ends of the support rod are provided with mounting seats, and the movable wheel is mounted on the mounting seats.

[0014] The second aspect of this utility model discloses a switch cabinet, including the aforementioned transfer device and a switch cabinet body, wherein the transfer device is detachably disposed at the bottom of the switch cabinet body. By disposing of the transfer device at the bottom of the switch cabinet body, the switch cabinet body can be moved by the transfer device.

[0015] Preferably, in order to enable the switch cabinet body and the transfer device to be detachably connected, the bottom of the switch cabinet body of this solution is provided with a socket, and the connecting part of the transfer device is plugged into the socket.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: after the connecting component is connected to the switch cabinet, the moving wheels can drive the switch cabinet to move, thereby realizing the transfer of the switch cabinet. This method of transferring switch cabinets does not require the use of a forklift, thus solving the shortcomings of the prior art that uses a forklift for transferring switch cabinets.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0024] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "inner" and "outer" are defined based on the contours of the corresponding components. Terms such as "first" and "second" used in this disclosure are for distinguishing one element from another and do not imply sequence or importance.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] The basics are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a transfer device suitable for switchgear includes a support component 1 and casters 3. The support component 1 can be a support plate, which is a rectangular plate. Four casters 3 are arranged in a rectangular pattern at the four bottom corners of the support plate. The casters 3 can be swivel casters or other wheels in the prior art, with swivel casters being more preferably preferred. Swivel casters have a locking function, facilitating the fixing of the switchgear. In some other embodiments, the casters 3 can also be steering wheels, which are powered, allowing the switchgear to be moved automatically.

[0027] To achieve connection with the switchgear, this embodiment provides a connecting component 2 on the top of the supporting component 1. The connecting component 2 is preferably a pin, which is vertical. Two connecting components 2 are provided, one at each end of the supporting component 1. The pin can be inserted into the bottom of the switchgear, thereby achieving connection with the switchgear.

[0028] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the connecting component 2 is preferably a pin. However, in some other embodiments, the connecting component 2 can be other connection structures in the prior art. For example, the connecting component 2 can also be a clamp that can hold the bottom of the switch cabinet, thereby achieving a detachable connection with the switch cabinet. The connecting component 2 can also be an electromagnet that can be attracted to the bottom of the switch cabinet, thus connecting the connecting component 2 to the switch cabinet.

[0029] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the installation of the mobile device at the bottom of the switch cabinet, the switch cabinet needs to be lifted or tilted using a hoist or other structure, so as to facilitate the installation of the mobile device at the bottom of the switch cabinet.

[0030] The following detailed description illustrates the implementation method: When the switchgear needs to be moved, the transfer device is placed at the bottom of the switchgear, and the connecting component 2 in the transfer device is connected to the switchgear. Driven by the transfer device, the switchgear can be easily moved to different locations in the production workshop. Finally, when the switchgear needs to be shipped, the transfer device is separated from the switchgear, allowing the switchgear to be transported independently.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the support component 1 is a support rod, which is a rectangular rod. Mounting seats are respectively provided at both ends of the support rod. These mounting seats can be existing mounting seats for adapting to casters, such as mounting plates, on which fasteners can be installed for the casters. The mounting seats and the support rod can be fixedly connected by welding, ensuring that the mounting seats and support rod will not separate.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1 or embodiment 2, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the support component 1 includes a telescopic structure. The distance between the moving wheels 3 at both ends is adjusted by the telescopic structure, so that the transfer device can be adapted to switch cabinets of different sizes.

[0035] The telescopic structure of this embodiment includes an insert 11 and a receiving opening 12. Both the insert 11 and the receiving opening 12 are located in the middle of the support member 1, and the insert 11 and the receiving opening 12 correspond to the two ends of the support member 1, respectively. The insert 11 is inserted into the receiving opening 12, so that the two ends of the support member 1 are connected. The length of the support member 1 can be changed by varying the depth to which the insert 11 is inserted into the receiving opening 12. At the same time, in order to lock the telescopic structure after moving to a predetermined position, a fixing port is provided on the side of the receiving opening 12, and a fastener can be installed in the fixing port. When the fastener is installed in the fixing port, the fastener abuts against the insert 11, thereby locking the telescopic structure.

[0036] It is understood that the telescopic structure in this embodiment is only one implementation method. In some other implementation methods, the telescopic structure may also include a connector and a receiving port 12. The receiving ports 12 correspond to the two ends of the supporting component 1, and the connector is located between the two receiving ports 12, with both ends of the connector embedded inside the receiving ports 12 at both ends. The connector is a connecting rod. The connector is embedded into the receiving ports 12 at different depths, thereby adjusting the distance between the moving wheels 3 at both ends. At the same time, in order to lock the telescopic structure after moving to a predetermined position, a fixing port is provided on the side of the receiving port 12, and a fastener can be installed in the fixing port. When the fastener is installed in the fixing port, the fastener abuts against the connector, thereby locking the telescopic structure.

[0037] To precisely adjust the telescopic state of the telescopic structure, a telescopic cylinder can be installed between the insert 11 and the receiving port 12. The two ends of the telescopic cylinder are connected to the insert 11 and the receiving port 12 respectively via fasteners. When the telescopic cylinder operates, the depth to which the insert 11 is inserted into the receiving port 12 changes, ultimately resulting in a precise change in the length of the support member 1. Adjusting the telescopic state using a telescopic cylinder allows for higher precision.

[0038] Example 4

[0039] This embodiment provides a switch cabinet, including a transfer device as described in Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, or Embodiment 3, and a switch cabinet body 4. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the switch cabinet body 4 is a rectangular cabinet, and the bottom of the switch cabinet body 4 has a socket. The transfer device is located at the bottom of the switch cabinet body 4, and the connecting part 2 in the transfer device is a pin. The pin is inserted into the socket to realize the connection between the transfer device and the switch cabinet body 4.
