[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch cabinets, and in particular to a tooling for switch cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] Switchgear is a crucial component of power systems. Some switchgear features a pressure relief channel, often referred to as a "backpack" due to its location at the rear. Before this backpack is assembled into the switchgear cabinet, it requires processing at the operating station, such as drilling, riveting, and installing pins. After processing, the backpack is then assembled into the switchgear cabinet.

[0003] These backpacks are typically quite large, making them inconvenient for workers to process or assemble. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a tooling for a switch cabinet, the switch cabinet including a backpack for the cabinet body, the tooling comprising:

[0007] A rotating assembly is fixed to the end of the support column away from the base;

[0008] A support component is fixed to the rotating component. The support component can support and fix the backpack. The rotating component can rotate the support component between a first position and a second position. When the support component is in the first position, the backpack is perpendicular to the base. When the support component is in the second position, the backpack is parallel to the base.

[0009] According to the tooling used for switch cabinets, workers can rotate the component to drive the load-bearing component, thereby rotating the backpack to the required position, which makes it easier for workers to process the backpack or install it on the cabinet, greatly improving efficiency.

[0010] Optionally, according to the tooling described above, the base includes:

[0011] Fixed frame;

[0012] A movable plate is fixed to the fixed frame and is rotatable between a third position and a fourth position. When the movable plate is in the third position, it is parallel to the upper surface of the fixed frame. When the movable plate is in the fourth position, its upper surface is lower than the upper surface of the fixed frame.

[0013] The movable board is designed so that when it is in the fourth position, it can avoid the backpack, allowing the backpack to be flipped over, and when it is in the third position, the backpack can be placed on the movable board, making it easy to install the backpack.

[0014] Optionally, according to the tooling described above, the base further includes:

[0015] A rotating shaft is rotatably fixed to the fixed frame, the movable plate is fixed on the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft can drive the movable plate to rotate between a third position and a fourth position;

[0021] A fixing pin can be inserted into the first through hole or the second through hole. When the fixing pin is inserted into the first through hole, the fixing pin can fix the position of the sliding member to prevent the linkage from moving, thereby fixing the movable plate in the fourth position. When the fixing pin is inserted into the second through hole, the fixing pin can fix the position of the sliding member to prevent the linkage from moving, thereby fixing the movable plate in the third position.

[0022] The position of the movable plate can be fixed by the cooperation of the fixing pin and the sliding part.

[0023] Optionally, according to the tooling described above, the pedal assembly includes:

[0024] A foot pedal, which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft;

The first elongated hole is perpendicular to the second elongated hole, and the second elongated hole extends in a direction perpendicular to the base. A slider passes through the first elongated hole and is connected to the foot pedal. A fixing member passes through the elongated hole and is fixed to the support column. The movable member can move in a direction perpendicular to the base as the foot pedal rotates.

[0026] This ensures the direction of movement of the linkage.

[0069] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following embodiments are provided to further illustrate this utility model in detail. The nouns and pronouns referring to "person" in this patent application are not limited to specific genders.

[0070] This utility model provides a tooling for switch cabinets, which is used to fix the backpack of the switch cabinet to facilitate the processing and assembly by workers.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the tooling for the switch cabinet includes a base, a support column 2, a rotating assembly, and a load-bearing assembly.

[0072] The base can be made of metal, specifically a metal frame, which not only reduces weight and facilitates pushing by workers but also reduces costs. More specifically, the base can be made of iron, aluminum, or stainless steel. The upper surface of the base is flat. For example, ... Figure 1 As shown, the base is shaped like a cube.

[0073] The support column 2 is set perpendicular to the base and fixed to the base. The shape of the support column 2 can be set according to actual needs. Figures 1 to 4 The diagram shows a support column 2 with a generally rectangular cross-section, but the cross-section of the support column 2 can also be circular, trapezoidal, etc. The material of the support column 2 can be the same as the material of the base. More specifically, the support column 2 can be fixed to the base by welding.

[0074] A rotating assembly is fixed to the end of the support column 2 away from the base. This rotating assembly drives the load-bearing assembly to rotate. As an example, the rotating assembly includes a rotating mechanism 31 and a rotating wheel 32. The rotating mechanism 31 is mounted on the support column 2 and fixed to the load-bearing assembly. The rotating wheel 32 is located on the top of the support column 2. The rotating wheel 32 drives the rotating mechanism 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the load-bearing assembly to rotate. Correspondingly, it also drives the backpack 7 fixed to the load-bearing assembly to rotate. The rotating mechanism 31 can be implemented in various ways, such as through a combination of gears or through the engagement of bushings. Any implementation method in the prior art can be used, which will not be elaborated here. The rotating wheel 32 can be designed as a steering wheel for easy operation. More specifically, the rotating mechanism can also have a deceleration effect, providing low-speed, high-torque transmission, allowing the operator to rotate the heavy backpack without turning the rotating wheel many times, thus saving considerable effort.

[0075] The load-bearing component is fixed to the rotating component. The load-bearing component can support and secure the backpack 7. The rotating component allows the load-bearing component to rotate between a first position and a second position. When the load-bearing component is in the first position, the backpack 7 is perpendicular to the base; when the load-bearing component is in the second position, the backpack 7 is parallel to the base. Figure 2 As shown.

[0076] In this way, with the load-bearing component in the first position, it is convenient for workers to install the backpack 7 onto the switch cabinet. With the load-bearing component in the second position, it is convenient for workers to process the backpack 7, such as drilling holes, fixing bolts, or adding other components.

[0077] According to the tooling used for the switch cabinet, the operator can rotate the component to drive the load-bearing component, thereby rotating the backpack 7 to the required position, which makes it easier for the operator to process the backpack 7 or install it on the cabinet, greatly improving efficiency.

[0078] As an example, the base includes a fixed frame 11 and a movable plate 12, wherein the movable plate 12 is fixed to the fixed frame 11 and is rotatable between a third position and a fourth position. When the movable plate 12 is in the third position, it is parallel to the upper surface of the fixed frame 11; when the movable plate 12 is in the fourth position, its upper surface is lower than the upper surface of the fixed frame 11. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the movable plate 12 is located on the upper surface of the fixed frame 11 and at the center of the upper surface. One side of the movable plate 12 in the center can be hinged to one of the fixed frames 11, and the other side of the movable plate 12 can move freely. Alternatively, it can be as follows: Figures 1 to 3As shown, each side of the base is a free end. The base also has a rotating shaft 13, which is rotatably fixed within the fixed frame 11. A movable plate 12 is fixed to the rotating shaft 13. When the rotating shaft 13 rotates, it drives the movable plate 12 to rotate, causing the upper surface of the movable plate 12 to rotate to a third position parallel to the upper surface of the fixed frame. More specifically, the upper surface of the movable plate 12 is flush with the upper surface of the fixed frame. This design of the movable plate 12 allows it to avoid obstructing the backpack 7 when in the fourth position, enabling the backpack 7 to flip over. Furthermore, when in the third position, the backpack 7 can be placed on the movable plate 12, facilitating its installation. Figures 1 to 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the movable plate 12 in the fourth position is shown.

[0079] To facilitate the rotation of the rotating shaft 13, the base also includes a pedal assembly connected to the rotating shaft 13, more specifically, to one end of the rotating shaft 13. Operators can easily rotate the rotating shaft 13 by stepping on or lifting the pedal assembly.

[0080] To keep the movable plate 12 in the fourth position and prevent accidental rotation, the fixture also includes a positioning assembly. This positioning assembly includes a slider 50, a connecting rod 51, and a fixing pin 52. The slider 50 is slidable along the length of the support column 2 and has a first through hole and a second through hole 502. The connecting rod 51 extends along the length of the support column 2 and is connected to both the pedal assembly and the slider 50. Rotation of the pedal assembly causes the connecting rod 51 and the slider 50 to move along the length of the support column 2. The fixing pin 52 can pass through both the first and second through holes 502. When the fixing pin 52 is in the first through hole, it fixes the position of the slider 50 to prevent the connecting rod 51 from moving, thus fixing the movable plate 12 in the fourth position. When the fixing pin 52 is in the second through hole 502, it fixes the position of the slider 50 to prevent the connecting rod 51 from moving, thus fixing the movable plate 12 in the third position. As an example, the support column 2 also has corresponding through holes. The fixing pin 52 passes through the through holes in the sliding plate 50 and the support column 2, thus fixing the position of the sliding plate 50. That is, the position of the fixing pin 52 inserted into the support column 2 is fixed, but the through holes in the sliding plate 50 can be different. Figure 4As shown, the fixing pin 52 is inserted through the first through hole. Specifically, in its natural state, the movable plate 12 is in the third position. When it is necessary to rotate the movable plate 12, the pedal assembly can be lifted (rotated counterclockwise), causing it to rotate the movable plate 12 from the third position to the fourth position via the rotating shaft 13. The fixing pin is then inserted into the first through hole, preventing the sliding plate 50 from moving further. This allows the movable plate 12 to avoid the backpack 7, enabling the backpack 7 to rotate as needed. If it is necessary to return the movable plate 12 to the third position, the fixing pin 52 can be pulled out of the first through hole. Then, the pedal assembly is stepped on, causing the movable plate 12 to rotate to the third position via the rotating shaft 13. The fixing pin 52 is then inserted into the second through hole 502, preventing the pedal assembly from rotating. Alternatively, a reset element can be provided for the rotating shaft 13, allowing it to rotate the movable plate 12 to either the third or fourth position. When the movable plate 12 is in the third position, which is parallel to the upper surface of the fixed frame 11, it provides a certain supporting force to the backpack 7 when it is perpendicular to the base.

[0081] As an example, to ensure the direction of movement of the linkage 51, the pedal assembly may include a foot pedal 14 and a movable plate 15. The foot pedal 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 13. The movable plate 15 is fixedly connected to the foot pedal 14 and connected to the linkage 51. The movable plate 15 is provided with a first elongated hole 151 and at least one second elongated hole 152. The first elongated hole 151 is perpendicular to the second elongated hole 152, and the second elongated hole 152 extends in a direction perpendicular to the base. Figure 4 The figure shows two second elongated holes 152. A slider (not shown) passes through the first elongated hole 151 and is connected to the foot pedal 14. A fixing member (not shown) passes through the second elongated holes 152 and is fixed to the support column 2. The movable plate 15 can move in a direction perpendicular to the base as the foot pedal 14 rotates. When the foot pedal 14 rotates, it drives the slider to move in the first elongated hole 151, and at the same time drives the movable plate 15 to move up and down. The cooperation of the second elongated holes 152 and the fixing member ensures the direction of movement of the movable plate 15. More specifically, the foot pedal 14 is located in Figure 4 In the case of the position, that is, in the tilted state, the movable plate 12 is located Figure 4The fourth position shown is also tilted. At this time, the fixing pin 52 is inserted into the first through hole. Next, the fixing pin 52 can be pulled out of the first through hole, and the operator can rotate the foot pedal 14 clockwise (for example, the foot pedal 14 is stepped on). This can drive the movable plate 12 to rotate from the fourth position to the third position, that is, the position where the movable plate 12 is parallel to the upper surface of the fixed frame 11. At this time, the fixing pin 52 can be inserted into the second insertion hole 502, so that the movable plate 52 cannot rotate. In addition, when the foot pedal 14 rotates clockwise, it can drive the movable plate 15 to move away from the base, that is, move upward. At the same time, the movable plate 15 drives the connecting rod 51 to move upward. If it is blocked by the fixing pin 52, it cannot move any further. When the foot pedal 14 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the movable plate 15 to move closer to the base, that is, move downward. At the same time, it drives the connecting rod 51 to move downward. At the same time, the foot pedal 14 drives the movable plate 12 to rotate from the third position to the fourth position.

[0082] As an example, the support assembly includes a support frame 41 and at least one clamping device. The support frame 41 is fixed to the rotating assembly; the clamping device is located on the side of the support frame 41 and is used to fix the backpack 7 to the support frame 41. The support frame 41 is designed to both support the backpack 7 and reduce the overall weight of the tooling. Furthermore, the support frame 41 includes two parallel strips 411 and an anti-slip bar 412 located between the two strips 411. The anti-slip bar is fixed between and perpendicular to the two strips 411. The two anti-slip bars 412 have through holes for fixing anti-slip nylon strips, preventing the backpack from sliding and minimizing scratches on the sheet metal. Figures 1 to 3 The diagram shows multiple clamping devices, and there are two types of clamping devices. The first type, clamping device 421, is a quick-clamp device, and each quick-clamp device is located on the side of the support frame 41 closer to the rotating mechanism 31. The second type, clamping device 422, is a quick-tensioning device, and each quick-tensioning device is located on the side of the support frame 41 away from the rotating mechanism 31. Among them, the quick-clamp device has a larger clamping force, which can better fix the backpack 7, while the quick-tensioning device has a telescopic rod, which can press down on the other side of the backpack 7, providing a greater degree of freedom and making it suitable for various types of backpacks 7. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first type of clamping device 421 includes two types, which can be used to clamp backpacks 7 of different sizes. For example, the two first type clamping devices 421 located in the middle can clamp backpacks 7 with smaller thickness, while the first type clamping devices 421 located on both sides can clamp backpacks 7 with smaller thickness. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The backpack 7 shown is relatively thick. This makes the workwear more versatile.

[0083] As an example, the tooling includes wheels 61 and / or a lifting member 63. The wheels 61 are located at the bottom of the base. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the wheel 61 can be a swivel wheel, facilitating adjustment of the tool's direction of travel. Additionally, each wheel 61 has a locking part 62 that can lock the wheel 61 in place to prevent slippage, thereby fixing the tool's position. Since the backpack 7 is generally heavy, the tool can also have a lifting member 63 to better secure it. This lifting member 63 is located at the bottom of the base and can lift the base up to a position where each wheel 61 is off the ground. The bottom of the lifting member 63 is flat. This allows for better positioning of the tool. The number of lifting members 63 can be set according to actual needs; for example, one lifting member 63 can be installed in each of the four directions.

[0084] As another example, the tooling also has a handle 64, which is fixed to the base. The handle 64 allows the tooling to be pulled, facilitating its movement by the operator.

[0085] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
