It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0026] See Figure 1-5 The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fixing structure for a motor protector, including a mounting base 1 and a protector 2 mounted on the mounting base 1, with a protective cover 3 detachably connected to the protector 2.

[0027] Protector 2 can be installed in the electrical control cabinet via mounting base 1. Mounting base 1 is installed on the inner side of the electrical control cabinet, and protector 2 is detachably connected to mounting base 1. The front of protector 2 faces the cabinet door. Protector 2 has several wire holes 25 and several terminals 24 for wiring. The wire holes 25 can be used to pass through the three-phase wires 01 of the motor; the terminals 24 are used to connect to the connection wires 02 of external electrical equipment. Through the circuit connection, protector 2 completes the functions of detection, monitoring, and real-time communication. Protector 2 contains a control chip and corresponding logic circuits, which can monitor parameters such as the operating current and temperature of the motor. The principle of protector 2 is the same as that of common electronic motor protectors with microprocessor chip thick-film circuits on the market. Its motor protection function is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] The protector 2 has a current setting dial on its front side, which includes a display screen, adjustment buttons, indicator LEDs, and two adjustment knobs 22 for adjusting the current and delay time. The adjustment knobs 22 can be used to adjust the magnitude of the protective current and the delay time to adapt to the operating conditions of different motor specifications.

[0029] The front of the mounting base 1 has a recess that matches the size of the back of the protector 2 (i.e., the side away from the adjustment knob 22 on the protector 2), and the back of the protector 2 can be embedded in the recess of the mounting base 1. The recess of the mounting base 1 has a hollowed-out mounting part 11, which can be used to fix the mounting base 1 to the inner side of the electrical control cabinet through the cooperation of the mounting part 11 and bolts. The top and bottom of the mounting base 1 are respectively fixedly connected to a first wire fixing plate 13 and a second wire fixing plate 14. The first wire fixing plate 13 and the second wire fixing plate 14 are respectively provided with a plurality of first wire fixing grooves 131 and a plurality of second wire fixing grooves 141, and the first wire fixing grooves 131 and the second wire fixing grooves 141 are respectively matched with the diameters of the three-phase wire 01 and the connecting wire 02.

[0030] The protective cover 3 is a square shell with one open side. The size of the protective cover 3 matches the size of the front of the protector 2. The end of the protective cover 3 away from the opening is provided with an adjustment hole 302 that matches the position of the adjustment knob 22. The adjustment hole 302 can expose the straight hole on the adjustment knob 22. Thus, the adjustment knob 22 can be adjusted even when the protective cover 3 is installed on the protector 1.

[0031] The protective cover 3 has a first baffle 32 at the upper edge of the opening that cooperates with the first wire fixing plate 13. The first baffle 32 has a fourth wire fixing groove 321 that corresponds to and matches one-to-one with a plurality of first wire fixing grooves 131. The fourth wire fixing groove 321 and the first wire fixing grooves 131 can enclose and surround the three-phase wire 01 passing through the wire hole 25.

[0032] The bottom of the protective cover 3 is equipped with several second baffles 33 that cooperate with the terminal 24. When the protective cover 3 is installed, the second baffles 33 can block the terminal 24, thus protecting the terminal 24. There is a notch between adjacent second baffles 33, which can avoid the three-phase wire 01 passing through the wire hole 25, and at the same time, can avoid interfering with the second baffles 33 blocking the terminal 24. A third wire fixing plate 34 is provided at the end of the second baffle 33 near the second wire fixing plate 14. The third wire fixing plate 34 has a third wire fixing groove 341 that corresponds one-to-one with the second wire fixing groove. The third wire fixing groove 341 and the second wire fixing groove can enclose and surround the connecting wire 02. Thus, the combination of mounting base 1 and protective cover can protect the three-phase wire 01 passing through the wire hole 25 and the connector of the connecting wire 02 connected to the terminal block 24, preventing dust, debris and flying insects from entering, reducing the risk of accidental activation of the protection mechanism due to external factors, and improving the stability and safety of the equipment. The second baffle 33 can effectively shield and protect the terminal block 24, preventing short circuits or damage caused by accidental activation or external factors, thus improving the safety of the equipment.

[0033] Preferably, a plurality of support bars 31 are installed on the top inside the protective cover 3. The height of the support bars 31 matches the distance between the protector 2 and the inner top surface of the protective cover 3. The support bars 31 can make the protective cover 3 more secure and less likely to fall off after installation.

[0034] Preferably, the mounting base 1 has two symmetrical first locking portions 101 on both sides, the protective cover 3 has two symmetrical second locking portions 301 on both sides, and the protector 2 has a first locking groove 21 and a second locking groove 23 on both sides corresponding to the first locking portions 101 and the second locking portions 301, respectively. When the protector 2 is installed, it is aligned with the recess on the mounting base 1 and pushed in. When pushed to the end, the first locking portion 101 on the mounting base 1 engages in the first locking groove 21, completing the installation of the protector 2. The protector 2 can also be disassembled by operating the first locking portion 101, thus achieving a detachable connection. When the protective cover 3 is installed, it is aligned with the protector 2 and pushed in. When pushed to the end, the second locking portion 301 elastically deforms and engages in the second locking groove 23, completing the engagement. During disassembly, the protective cover 3 can be removed by hand, thus achieving quick disassembly of the protector 2 and the protective cover, facilitating equipment maintenance and repair.

[0035] Preferably, the mounting base 1 is provided with a plurality of mesh holes 12, which can reduce the weight of the mounting base 1 and save material costs.

[0036] Preferably, the protective cover 3 is made of transparent material. The transparent material of the protective cover 3 allows the staff to directly observe the working status of the protector 2 and the information on the display screen without removing the protective cover, which facilitates the monitoring and maintenance of the equipment and also improves the overall aesthetics of the equipment.

[0037] Preferably, a soft pad 322 is installed on the fourth wire fixing groove 321. The soft pad 322 is configured in conjunction with the first wire fixing groove 131 to better enclose the three-phase wire 01, while also preventing the original hard contact from damaging the three-phase wire 01.

[0038] Therefore, the installation and use method of this device is as follows: First, fix the mounting base 1 to the inner side of the electrical control cabinet with bolts. Push the back of the protector 2 into the recess of the mounting base 1 until the first locking part 101 locks into the first locking groove 21 to complete the installation. During installation, the front of the protector 2 faces the cabinet door. The three-phase wire 01 passes through the first fixing groove 131 on the first fixing plate 13 and enters the wire hole 25. The external connecting wire 02 corresponds to the second fixing groove 141 and is connected to the terminal 24. Then, push the protective cover 3 into the protector 2. The second locking part 301 is fixed by the elastic cooperation between itself and the locking groove. At this time, the third and fourth fixing grooves can cooperate with the second and first fixing grooves respectively to clamp and fix the three-phase wire 01 and the connecting wire 02. The installation is complete. When maintenance is required, the protective cover 3 or the protector 2 can be quickly removed by moving the locking part.

[0039] Therefore, this device adopts a modular snap-fit ​​structure to achieve rapid assembly and disassembly, significantly improving maintenance efficiency. Secondly, through the coordinated design of several cable trays and baffles, it achieves both enclosed fixing of the wiring and prevention of foreign object intrusion, significantly improving electrical safety. The design of the mounting base 1 and the mesh hole 12 balances structural strength and material economy. The precise fit between the components not only optimizes space utilization, but its anti-accidental contact characteristics and environmental adaptability also effectively reduce equipment failure rates, making it particularly suitable for motor protection systems in complex industrial environments, with outstanding practical value and market competitiveness.

[0040] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
