[0038] like Figure 1-10 As shown, an interlocking mechanism for a low-voltage switchgear includes a cabinet 101, a drawer 102, and a closing device. The drawer 102 is slidably connected to the cabinet 101, and the closing device is connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 101, with the closing device located at one end of the drawer 102. A movable rod 115 is provided on the drawer 102, and the movable rod 115 is slidably connected to the drawer 102. A connecting plate 105 is provided at one end of the movable rod 115, and the movable rod 115 is aligned with the closing device.

[0039] Specifically, the closure device includes a connecting seat 111, a movable block 112, and a blade 114. The movable block 112 is provided with a guide rod 113, the connecting seat 111 is provided with a guide groove, the guide rod 113 is inserted into the guide groove, the connecting seat 111 is provided with a groove corresponding to the blade 114, and the movable block 112 is provided with a first spring 119, which abuts against the connecting seat 111.

[0040] The drawer 102 has a first movable groove on its side wall for the movable rod 115 to move. A second movable groove is provided at one end of the first movable groove. A first push block 116 is provided at one end of the movable rod 115. The first push block 116 is located in the second movable groove. When the drawer 102 is inside the cabinet 101, the closure device is located in the second movable groove.

[0041] The movable rod 115 is provided with a first slider 117, and the side wall of the first movable groove is provided with a slot 121 for the first slider 117 to move. A stop block 118 is provided in the slot 121, and the stop block 118 can move in the slot 121. The height of the first slider 117 is the same as the height of the stop block 118, and the height of the first slider 117 is half the height of the slot 121. The trajectory of the stop block 118 is perpendicular to the trajectory of the first slider 117, that is, the slider moves horizontally in the slot 121, and the stop block 118 moves vertically in the slot 121.

[0042] The bottom of the slot 121 is provided with a third movable slot, and the side wall of the drawer 102 is provided with a fourth movable slot 122 that communicates with the third movable slot. The bottom of the stop block 118 is provided with an extension rod 120, which is located in the third movable slot. The inner wall of the cabinet 101 is provided with a second push block 123, which is positioned corresponding to the fourth movable slot 122. The second push block 123 is provided with an inclined surface. The stop block 118 can only move vertically within the slot 121 and cannot be dislodged from the slot 121.

[0043] A movable plate 106 is provided on the connecting plate 105, and a handle 107 is provided on the movable plate 106. The movable plate 106 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 105. A fixed plate 104 is provided on the cabinet body 101. The fixed plate 104 has an L-shaped structure and is located above the connecting plate 105. When the drawer 102 is inside the cabinet body 101, when the movable plate 106 is above the connecting plate 105, the movable plate 106 abuts against the fixed plate 104 to fix the drawer 102 inside the cabinet body 101. When the movable plate 106 is below the connecting plate 105, the movable plate 106 is offset from the fixed plate 104, and the drawer 102 can be directly pulled out from the cabinet body 101.

[0044] Furthermore, the movable plate 106 is provided with a second slider, and the connecting plate 105 is provided with a through groove for the second slider to move; the connecting plate 105 is provided with a support plate 124, the second slider is provided with a connecting rod 125, the connecting rod 125 is located above the support plate 124, and the support plate 124 is provided with a second spring 126, which abuts against the connecting rod 125.

[0045] Furthermore, the inner wall of the cabinet 101 is provided with a first positioning rod 103 and a second positioning rod 110. The first positioning rod 103 and the second positioning rod 110 are respectively located at the top and bottom of the drawer 102. The bottom of the drawer 102 is provided with a third slider 109. A baffle 108 is connected to the second positioning rod 110. The second positioning rod 110 provides support for the drawer 102, and the first positioning rod 103 limits the drawer 102. The drawer 102 is clamped between the first positioning rod 103 and the second positioning rod 110, so that the drawer 102 can only move horizontally relative to the cabinet 101. The cooperation of the third slider 109 and the baffle 108 limits the maximum distance that the drawer 102 can move, preventing the drawer 102 from being completely pulled out of the cabinet 101. The baffle 108 is fixed to the second positioning rod 110 with screws. When it is necessary to disassemble the drawer 102, the drawer 102 can be directly removed from the cabinet 101 after the baffle 108 is removed.

[0046] When drawer 102 is pulled out, push handle 107 downwards. Handle 107 moves movable plate 106 to the lower position of connecting plate 105, where movable plate 106 is offset from fixed plate 104. Pull handle 107 to move it, which in turn moves movable rod 115. First push block 116 disengages from movable block 112. First spring 119 pushes movable block 112 to move, causing blade 114 to disengage from groove, disengaging the closure, and moving first slider 117. Pull the handle 107 outward from one end of the slot 121 to pull the drawer 102 out of the cabinet 101. After the drawer 102 moves, the second push block 123 moves out from the fourth movable slot 122, and the stop block 118 falls to the bottom of the slot 121, so that the stop block 118 is on one side of the first slider 117. The first slider 117 is clamped between the stop block 118 and the inner wall of the slot 121 and cannot move, thus fixing the handle 107 and preventing the movable rod 115 from moving relative to the drawer 102.

[0047] When the drawer 102 is pushed back, the handle 107 is pushed into the cabinet 101. Since the movable rod 115 is fixed, the entire drawer 102 moves into the cabinet 101. After the drawer 102 is reset, the second push block 123 enters the fourth movable slot 122 and pushes the extension rod 120 to move. The extension rod 120 drives the stop block 118 to move towards the top of the slot 121. The stop block 118 is offset from the first slider 117. The handle 107 is pushed again, and the movable rod 115 moves relative to the drawer 102. The first push block 116 pushes the movable block 112 to move, and the blade 114 is inserted into the groove. The closure closes. After the handle 107 is released, the second spring 126 pushes the movable plate 106 to rise. The movable plate 106 moves to the side of the fixed plate 104 to form a fit and fix the drawer 102.

[0048] The above description is merely a selection of preferred embodiments of this disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept.
