Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor power distribution cabinets, and in particular to an outdoor power distribution cabinet with self-locking anti-accidental contact feature. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor distribution cabinets are electrical devices used in outdoor environments, primarily for power distribution and control. Traditional outdoor distribution cabinets often rely on simple mechanical locks or padlocks for door locking. These methods are susceptible to damage from external forces or human intervention, leading to accidental opening of the cabinet door. Furthermore, mechanical locks may experience wear and corrosion over time, further reducing their reliability and failing to effectively prevent unauthorized intrusion or misoperation.
[0003] Secondly, the interior of existing distribution cabinets is usually directly exposed to operators without effective isolation or protective measures. During maintenance or repair, workers may accidentally touch electrical components outside the operating area, causing safety accidents such as electric shock or short circuits. At the same time, external personnel may also damage or malfunction the equipment due to curiosity or malicious contact. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an outdoor power distribution cabinet with self-locking anti-accidental touch protection, which solves the problems of unreliable door locking, lack of anti-accidental touch protection, and insufficient operational safety of traditional outdoor power distribution cabinets.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An outdoor power distribution cabinet with self-locking anti-accidental contact features includes a cabinet body. A left cabinet door and a right cabinet door are rotatably connected to one side of the cabinet body. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the side of the right cabinet door near the interior of the cabinet body. A gap is left between the fixing plate and the right cabinet door. A horizontal embedding groove is opened on the surface of the fixing plate. A clamping plate and a positioning plate are rotatably connected between the fixing plate and the right cabinet door through a shaft pin. An inclined groove is provided on the surface of the clamping plate. A notch is provided on the top of the clamping plate. A locking part extends from one corner of the positioning plate. Torsion springs are sleeved on the outer side of the shaft pin. The clamping plate and the positioning plate are elastically connected to the right cabinet door through corresponding torsion springs.
[0006] The left cabinet door has a sliding handle inside, and the handle has an embedded block inside. When the cabinet door is closed, the embedded block is aligned with the embedded groove.
[0007] Preferably, a knob is fixedly connected to one end of the positioning plate's pivot pin. The pivot pin is fixedly connected to the positioning plate. By rotating the knob, the pivot pin and the positioning plate are rotated, releasing the locking state of the locking plate and the positioning plate, thus realizing the controllable opening of the cabinet door.
[0008] Preferably, an inner frame is fixedly connected inside the cabinet, and a partition is rotatably connected inside the inner frame. Several operating ports are equidistantly opened on the surface of the partition. The partition divides the space inside the cabinet into an operating area and a non-operating area. The operating ports limit the operable range and prevent staff from accidentally touching non-target components.
[0009] Preferably, the inlet of the embedding slot is provided with a rounded chamfer. The rounded chamfer guides the embedding block to smoothly enter the embedding slot, reducing mechanical resistance when closing the cabinet door and improving the smoothness of operation.
[0010] Preferably, the cabinet is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket, which provides a unified interface for fixing electrical components, simplifying the installation process and ensuring that the component layout complies with safety specifications.
[0011] Preferably, observation windows are provided on both sides of the cabinet. These windows allow staff to observe the operating status of indicator lights, instruments, or components inside the cabinet without opening the cabinet door, thus reducing the risk of misoperation.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the cabinet is equipped with a rainproof cover, which blocks rainwater, protects the distribution cabinet from rainwater corrosion, and ensures stable operation of the equipment.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model effectively prevents the cabinet door from being opened accidentally through a self-locking anti-accidental touch mechanism. The cooperation of the card plate, positioning plate, embedded groove and embedded block, combined with the elastic effect of the torsion spring, realizes the automatic locking after the cabinet door is closed. This design not only avoids the cabinet door from being opened accidentally due to accidental touch or external force, but also enhances the overall safety of the power distribution cabinet and protects the internal electrical equipment from external interference or damage.
[0015] 2. This utility model effectively isolates the operating area from other non-operating areas by using a rotatable partition inside the cabinet. The operating ports are only directly opposite the operating switch areas of the internal control components, so that the staff can only perform necessary operations through these operating ports, thereby avoiding the risk of accidentally touching other non-operating areas inside the cabinet, further improving the operational safety of the power distribution cabinet, and reducing safety accidents caused by misoperation.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides an outdoor power distribution cabinet with self-locking anti-accidental contact, including a cabinet body 1. A left cabinet door 2 and a right cabinet door 3 are rotatably connected to one side of the cabinet body 1. A fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the right cabinet door 3 near the inside of the cabinet body 1. A gap is left between the fixing plate 4 and the right cabinet door 3. A horizontal embedded groove 5 is opened on the surface of the fixing plate 4. A clamping plate 7 and a positioning plate 8 are rotatably connected between the fixing plate 4 and the right cabinet door 3 through a shaft pin 6. An inclined groove 9 is provided on the surface of the clamping plate 7. A notch 10 is provided on the top of the clamping plate 7. A snap-fit part 11 extends from one corner of the positioning plate 8. Torsion springs 12 are sleeved on the outer side of the shaft pin 6. The clamping plate 7 and the positioning plate 8 are elastically connected to the right cabinet door 3 through corresponding torsion springs 12.
[0023] The left cabinet door 2 has a sliding handle 13 inside, and the handle 13 has an embedded block 14 inside. When the cabinet door is closed, the embedded block 14 is directly opposite the embedded groove 5.
[0024] When it is necessary to lock the cabinet door, pull the push-pull handle 13 to make the embedded block 14 slide into the embedded groove 5. During the sliding process, the embedded block 14 cooperates with the inclined groove 9 of the card plate 7 to push the card plate 7 to rotate, so that the torsion spring 12 corresponding to the card plate 7 elastically deforms and stores energy until the card plate 7 rotates to the point where the opening of the groove 9 faces downward. At this time, the embedded block 14 is submerged in the innermost part of the embedded groove 5 and submerged in the groove 9.
[0025] During the rotation of the card plate 7, the positioning plate 8 is rotated by pushing the locking part 11 through the edge. The torsion spring 12 of the positioning plate 8 deforms and stores energy. When the notch 10 of the card plate 7 rotates to the edge position, the torsion spring 12 of the positioning plate 8 drives the positioning plate 8 to rotate, so that the end of the locking part 11 is locked into the notch 10, restricting the rotation of the card plate 7, thereby keeping the embedded block 14 locked in the overlapping part of the groove 9 and the embedded slot 5, realizing the locking of the cabinet door.
[0026] A knob 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the pin 6 of the positioning plate 8. The pin 6 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 8. By manually rotating the knob 15, the pin 6 of the positioning plate 8 can be rotated, thereby causing the positioning plate 8 to rotate. This allows the locking part 11 of the positioning plate 8 to separate from the notch 10 of the locking plate 7, releasing the rotation restriction on the locking plate 7 and allowing the locking plate 7 to rotate freely. After the locking plate 7 can rotate freely, the push-pull handle 13 can be pulled to make the embedded block 14 slide out of the embedded groove 5, thereby unlocking the power distribution cabinet door.
[0027] An inner frame 16 is fixedly connected inside the cabinet 1. A partition 17 is rotatably connected inside the inner frame 16. Several operating ports 18 are equidistantly opened on the surface of the partition 17. Under normal conditions, the partition 17 can be rotated to the closed position. The operating ports 18 are located in the operating switch area of the control components inside the cabinet 1. Only these switch areas are allowed to be operated through the operating ports 18 to prevent accidental contact with other non-operating areas inside the cabinet 1, thereby improving the safety of the power distribution cabinet operation.
[0028] The inlet of the embedding groove 5 is provided with a rounded chamfer. The rounded chamfer guides the embedding block 14 to smoothly enter the embedding groove 5, reducing mechanical resistance when closing the cabinet door and improving the smoothness of operation. The rounded transition reduces the collision and wear between the embedding block 14 and the edge of the embedding groove 5, and extends the service life of the component.
[0029] The cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket 19 for installing electrical components. The mounting bracket 19 provides a unified interface for fixing electrical components, which simplifies the installation process and ensures that the component layout complies with safety specifications.
[0030] Both sides of the cabinet 1 are equipped with observation windows 20, which allow staff to observe the operating status of indicator lights, instruments or components inside the cabinet without opening the cabinet door, thus reducing the risk of misoperation.
[0031] The top of the cabinet 1 is equipped with a rainproof cover 21, which can effectively protect the distribution cabinet from rainwater erosion and ensure stable operation of the equipment.
[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
