Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disconnecting switch technology, and in particular to a housing structure for a disconnecting switch operating mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Disconnect switches are the most widely used electrical appliances in high-voltage switchgear, serving a isolating function. While their working principle and structure are relatively simple, their large usage and high reliability requirements significantly impact the design, construction, and safe operation of substations and power plants. A key characteristic of disconnect switches is their lack of arc-extinguishing capability; they can only open and close circuits when there is no load current.
[0003] Disconnect switches are typically integrated into an electrical box, forming a disconnect switch operating mechanism box, which protects the disconnect switch and prevents electric shock. In actual operation, the disconnect switch operating mechanism box has a double-door structure, with one side being a door facing the operating position and the other side being a maintenance door; this double-door design facilitates the maintenance of internal equipment; however, these common double-door structures can all be opened independently, posing a risk of misoperation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a housing structure for the operating mechanism of a disconnecting switch, which can solve the problems of safety risks and poor sealing effect of the double-door structure of a general disconnecting switch operating box, where both doors can be opened independently.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a housing structure for a disconnector switch operating mechanism, the innovation of which is: including a housing, a fixed sealing plate, a first side door, a second side door, and an internal locking mechanism;
[0006] The box body is rectangular; the fixed sealing plate includes a side sealing plate, a top sealing plate and a bottom sealing plate; the side sealing plates are a pair and are arranged perpendicularly to each other, and are fixedly connected to two adjacent sides of the box body; the top sealing plate is fixedly installed on the top of the box body; the bottom sealing plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the box body.
[0007] The first side door and the second side door are respectively hinged to two other adjacent sides of the box; an external latch is provided between the outer edge of the first side door and the outer wall of the box, for opening the first side door from the outside of the box; an internal locking mechanism is provided between the inner edge of the second side door and the inner wall of the box, for opening the second side door from the inside of the box.
[0008] The internal locking mechanism includes a lock head and a rotating latch. The lock head is fixedly installed at the edge of the second side door. The lock head is L-shaped and forms a gap with the inner wall of the second side door to accommodate the rotating latch. The rotating latch is located on the inner side of the housing and includes a latch plate, a fixed shaft, and a limiting bolt. The latch plate is L-shaped and has a through hole at its corner. The fixed shaft is vertically mounted on the inner wall of the housing. The latch plate is nested on the fixed shaft and connected to the fixed shaft by a torsion spring. An L-shaped connecting plate is provided below the fixed shaft, and the connecting plate has a threaded hole. The limiting bolt engages with the threaded hole on the connecting plate, and the outer wall of the limiting bolt blocks the rotation path of the latch plate, keeping the rotating latch embedded in the gap between the lock head and the second side door. By rotating the limiting bolt, the latch plate is disengaged from the rotation path of the latch plate. Under the action of the torsion spring, the latch plate pops out of the gap between the lock head and the second side door, thus opening the second side door.
[0009] Furthermore, both the inner edges of the first side-opening door and the inner edges of the second side-opening door are provided with sealing strips.
[0010] Furthermore, the latch plate and the lock head are connected by an inclined guide slope to ensure that when the latch plate is engaged with the lock head, it rotates the second side door towards the inside of the box, thus ensuring the sealing effect of the second side door when it is closed.
[0011] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs are formed on the side of the housing that mates with the first side door and the side that mates with the second side door by external punching through a mold, for sealing in conjunction with the first or second side door.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0013] 1) In this utility model, the side door of one side of the disconnect switch operating box facing the operating mechanism is designed to open internally, thus avoiding accidental operation when the side door is opened from the outside. In addition, when the first side door is open, the second side door can be opened by loosening the limiting bolt and releasing the torque of the torsion spring to make the locking tongue plate pop out. The lock head on the second side door and the locking tongue plate are engaged by a beveled engagement, which can ensure that the sealing strip of the second side door is in a compressed state when it is closed, thus ensuring the sealing, waterproof and dustproof effect of the disconnect switch operating box.
[0014] 2) In this utility model, the two side doors of the box are formed by external punching of mold to form reinforcing ribs and flanges, which ensures stable dimensional forming, beautiful surface, no welding and no leakage points; in addition, the second side door cannot be opened from the outside when the first side door is not opened; the second side door adopts an internal lock installation method, and through the cooperation of the lock head and the lock tongue, the inner sealing strip of the second side door is more tightly attached to the box body to achieve the maximum effect of waterproofing and dustproofing.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 The diagram shows a housing structure for an operating mechanism of a disconnector switch, comprising a housing 1, a fixed sealing plate 2, a first side door 3, a second side door 4, and an internal locking mechanism 5.
[0022] The box body 1 is rectangular; the fixed sealing plate 2 includes a side sealing plate, a top sealing plate and a bottom sealing plate; the side sealing plates are a pair and are arranged perpendicular to each other, and are fixedly connected to two adjacent sides of the box body; the top sealing plate is fixedly set on the top of the box body 1; the bottom sealing plate is fixedly set on the bottom of the box body 1.
[0023] The first side door 3 and the second side door 4 are respectively hinged to the other two adjacent sides of the box body 1; an external latch is provided between the outer edge of the first side door 3 and the outer wall of the box body 1, for the first side door 3 to be opened from the outside of the box body 1; an internal locking mechanism 5 is provided between the inner edge of the second side door 4 and the inner wall of the box body 1, for the second side door 4 to be opened from the inside of the box body 1.
[0024] The internal locking mechanism 5 includes a lock head 51 and a rotating latch 52. The lock head 51 is fixedly installed at the edge of the second side door 4. The lock head 51 is L-shaped and forms a gap with the inner wall of the second side door 4 to accommodate the rotating latch 52. The rotating latch 52 is located on the inner side of the housing 1 and includes a latch plate 521, a fixed shaft 522, and a limiting bolt 523. The latch plate 521 has an L-shaped structure and a through hole is provided at the corner of the latch plate 521. The fixed shaft 522 is vertically installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. The latch plate 521 is nested on the fixed shaft 522 and connected by a torsion spring. The lock tongue 521 and the fixed shaft 522 are provided below the fixed shaft 522. The connecting plate 53 is provided with a threaded hole. The limiting bolt 523 cooperates with the threaded hole on the connecting plate 53. The outer wall of the limiting bolt 523 blocks the rotation path of the lock tongue 521, keeping the rotating lock tongue 521 embedded in the gap between the lock head 51 and the second side door 4. By rotating the limiting bolt 523, the lock tongue 521 is disengaged from the rotation path of the lock tongue 521.
