Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical control cabinet technology, and more specifically, to a locking device for an electrical control cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] An electrical control cabinet is an industrial device used for power distribution, equipment control, and protection. It integrates switching devices, measuring instruments, and protective electrical appliances into a metal cabinet to realize the functions of circuit switching, regulation, and protection. It is widely used in industrial automation, power systems, and other fields.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with publication number CN219085845U, which discloses a locking device for an electrical control cabinet. The device includes an electrical cabinet with a control board fixedly connected to its upper front side. The control board has a display screen on its upper front side and buttons on its lower front side. The cabinet has a door on its front side. This patent incorporates a transmission rod, gears, and a rack. When the electrical cabinet malfunctions and requires inspection and repair, for the safety of personnel, the power supply to the entire cabinet needs to be disconnected. First, the latch is detached from the lock body. Then, a second motor is controlled to rotate, driving a second shaft and gears to rotate. The gears drive the rack, which in turn moves the transmission rod within a groove, pulling one end of the transmission rod out of the power interface. This shuts off the power to the entire electrical cabinet while simultaneously opening the door, facilitating inspection and repair. However, the aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: relying solely on the latch and lock body for door fixation is insufficient. Therefore, we propose a locking device for an electrical control cabinet. Utility Model Content
