[0034] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0035] This embodiment provides a direct-connect cabinet with a protective structure, including a cabinet body 1. Two sets of guide rails 11 are symmetrically fixed inside the cabinet body 1. Several adjusting plates 4 are slidably arranged on each set of guide rails 11. A protective shell 2 for protecting the cabinet body 1 is symmetrically slidably arranged on the outside of the cabinet body 1, and a buffer material 12 is filled between the inner wall of the protective shell 2 and the outer wall of the cabinet body 1.

[0036] Among them, a support plate 5 for placing electrical equipment is slidably arranged between two corresponding adjustment plates 4 on the two sets of guide rails 11, and a baffle 6 is slidably arranged between the two adjustment plates 4. The baffle 6 is used to protect the electrical equipment located on the support plate 5 below.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cabinet 1 is symmetrically fixed with fixed plates 3 at its upper and lower ends. A sliding groove 31 is opened through the fixed plate 3. The fixed plate 3 is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the sliding groove 31 with a limiting plate 32. A sliding plate 33 is slidably arranged in the limiting plate 32. A square groove is opened through the limiting plate 32. The sliding plate 33 is slidably arranged in the square groove. Therefore, the sliding plate 33 can extend out of the limiting plate 32.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, a groove 34 is provided in the fixed plate 3, and a plurality of springs 35 are fixedly installed in the groove 34. One end of each spring 35 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the groove 34, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slide plate 33. The groove 34 is connected to the square groove.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the protective shell 2 includes fixed shells 21 arranged symmetrically on the top and bottom. A rear shell 22 and a side shell 23 are fixedly connected between the two fixed shells 21 and are perpendicularly connected to each other. A flexible plate 24 is fixedly connected to the edge of the protective shell 2.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, a limiting groove 25 is provided at one end of the fixed shell 21. When the side shell 23 is impacted, the limiting plate 32 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 25. When the fixed shell 21 is impacted, the sliding plate 33 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 25.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, when the side shell 23 is impacted, the protective shell 2 moves laterally, and one edge of the fixed shell 21 slides horizontally along the slide groove 31 to the other side of the protective shell 2. At the same time, the limiting plate 32 slides in the limiting groove 25. The cooperation between the limiting plate 32 and the limiting groove 25 limits the range of lateral movement of the protective shell 2, preventing excessive lateral displacement, thereby protecting the electrical equipment inside the cabinet 1 from excessive impact. When the fixed shell 21 is impacted, the protective shell 2 moves longitudinally, and one edge of the fixed shell 21 slides downward along the slide groove 31. At this time, the limiting plate 32 disengages from the limiting groove 25, and the sliding plate 33 moves downward under the action of the spring 35 and inserts into the limiting groove 25. At the same time, the sliding plate... The slide plate 33 slides within the limiting groove 25. The presence of the spring 35 allows the slide plate 33 to respond promptly to the longitudinal movement of the fixed shell 21 and quickly insert into the limiting groove 25, thus playing a limiting role. The design of the slide plate 33 prevents one end of the fixed shell 21 from detaching from the sliding groove 31, thereby preventing the entire protective shell 2 from detaching from the cabinet 1. This ensures that the protective shell 2 remains connected to the cabinet 1 and continues to perform its protective function, protecting the electrical equipment inside the cabinet 1 from external impacts. Through the combined action of the restoring force of the spring 35 and the buffer material 12, the protective shell 2 can automatically slide and reset after being impacted, ensuring that it is always in an effective working position and continues to perform its protective function, protecting the electrical equipment inside the cabinet 1.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the buffer material 12 is made of foam plastic, sponge, or rubber pad. These materials are soft and elastic. During the sliding process of the protective shell 2 under external impact, the buffer material 12 is located between the inner wall of the protective shell 2 and the outer wall of the cabinet 1, which can effectively prevent the protective shell 2 from directly colliding with the cabinet 1. Direct collision may cause damage to the surface of the protective shell 2 or the cabinet 1, and may even affect the normal operation of the electrical equipment inside the cabinet 1. The buffer material 12 plays a good role in buffering and isolating. When the protective shell 2 is impacted and vibrates, the buffer material 12 can absorb and disperse the vibration energy due to its elasticity, and play a certain role in shock absorption.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the flexible plate 24 is fixed at the edge of the protective shell 2, effectively preventing the cushioning material 12 from being exposed and falling off. If the cushioning material 12 is exposed, it may not only lose its cushioning effect due to falling, but may also scatter into the surrounding environment, causing inconvenience or safety hazards. The flexible plate 24 plays the role of wrapping and fixing the cushioning material 12, ensuring that it is always in the working position between the protective shell 2 and the cabinet 1. The flexible plate 24 has a certain degree of elasticity. As the protective shell 2 moves, it will come into contact with the cabinet 1 and be squeezed and deformed, further enhancing the fit between the protective shell 2 and the cabinet 1, and limiting the range of movement of the protective shell 2 to a certain extent, preventing the protective shell 2 from losing its effective protection for the cabinet 1 due to excessive movement. It is also worth noting that the cabinet 1 is generally placed against the wall, and the back shell 22 is in a relatively safe position, not easily affected by external impacts. Even if the back shell 22 is bumped in some special circumstances, the cushioning material 12 will still provide some protection for the cabinet 1.

[0044] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the adjusting plate 4 has a mounting groove 41 on one side, and the support plate 5 is slidably disposed in the mounting grooves 41 of the two adjusting plates 4 on both sides. Therefore, when it is necessary to repair or replace electrical equipment, the designated support plate 5 can be pulled to slide out along the mounting groove 41, which improves the convenience of operation and avoids the difficulties and inconveniences that may be encountered when performing repair or replacement operations directly in the narrow space inside the cabinet 1, such as limited operation due to space constraints and difficulty in accurately contacting the equipment; and the adjusting plate 4 has a slot 43 at one end.

[0045] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a long groove 42 is also provided on one side of the adjusting plate 4, and the long groove 42 is located below the mounting groove 41. The baffle 6 is slidably disposed in the long groove 42.

[0046] like Figure 9 As shown, the baffle 6 includes a first connecting plate 61 and a second connecting plate 62, with one end of the first connecting plate 61 and the second connecting plate 62 rotatably connected, and one end of the second connecting plate 62 inserted into the slot 43.

[0047] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, since the front of the cabinet 1 has a door, the protective shell 2 cannot protect the door area. When the door is impacted and deformed, it may affect the internal electrical equipment. Therefore, when the support plate 5 of the installed electrical equipment is inserted into the cabinet 1, the baffle 6 between the upper adjustment plates 4 can be pulled, that is, the first connecting plate 61 can be pulled to disengage it from the long slot 42. Then, the first connecting plate 61 is rotated around the hinge with the second connecting plate 62. Then, one end of the first connecting plate 61 is inserted into the slot 43 on the lower adjustment plate 4. At this time, the baffle 6 is L-shaped, thus providing a sealed environment for the electrical equipment between the two adjustment plates 4. This helps to reduce the entry of dust and other impurities through the gaps in the cabinet 1, and avoids dust from contaminating and damaging the electrical equipment. In addition, the baffle 6 has a certain degree of rigidity. When the door is impacted and deformed, it may come into contact with the baffle 6. The baffle 6 can withstand the impact with its hardness and strength, avoiding damage to the internal electrical equipment and playing an additional protective role.

[0048] In practical use, the support plate 5 for placing electrical equipment is slidably installed on both sides in the mounting grooves 41 of the two adjusting plates 4. After the support plate 5 is installed, the baffle 6 between the upper adjusting plates 4 can be pulled. Specifically, the first connecting plate 61 is pulled to disengage from the long groove 42, then the first connecting plate 61 is rotated around the hinge point with the second connecting plate 62, and finally one end of the first connecting plate 61 is inserted into the slot 43 on the lower adjusting plate 4, and then the door is closed. When the side shell 23 is impacted, the protective shell 2 moves laterally. One edge of the fixed shell 21 slides horizontally along the slide groove 31 to the other protective shell 2, while the limiting plate 32 slides in the limiting groove 25. When the fixed shell 21 is impacted, the protective shell 2 moves longitudinally, and one edge of the fixed shell 21 slides downward along the slide groove 31. At this time, the limiting plate 32 disengages from the limiting groove 25, and the sliding plate 33 moves downward under the action of the spring 35 and inserts into the limiting groove 25. At the same time, the sliding plate 33 slides in the limiting groove 25. After being impacted, the protective shell 2 slides back to its original position under the restoring force of the spring 35 and the buffer material 12.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
