Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power equipment technology, and in particular relates to a switch cabinet with linkage function. Background Technology

[0002] Switchgear, primarily composed of circuit breakers, refers to electrical equipment where high and low voltage electrical appliances, busbars, current-carrying conductors, insulators, etc., are assembled in a closed or open metal cabinet according to the requirements of the primary electrical wiring diagram. It serves as a device for receiving and distributing electrical energy in a power system. During equipment maintenance, to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel, control switches need to be added to the switchgear circuitry. Before equipment inspection, these control switches are disconnected to automatically de-energize the equipment and ensure the safety of maintenance personnel. However, in existing technologies such as the switchgear disclosed in patent CN220673124U, the control switches typically require manual opening and closing by maintenance personnel, which raises the issue of forgetting to disconnect the control switches. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a switch cabinet with a linkage function. The linkage mechanism links the cabinet door with the opening and closing of the control switch, so that when the cabinet door is opened, the control switch is disconnected, thereby ensuring the safety of maintenance personnel.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides a switch cabinet with linkage function, including a cabinet body and a rotatable cabinet door mounted on the cabinet body. The cabinet door is provided with a locking device, the cabinet body is provided with a locking plate, and the inner side of the cabinet door is also provided with a control switch that is linked to the locking device. The control switch is located on the power supply circuit of the cabinet body. When the locking device locks the cabinet door to the cabinet body, the control switch is closed in linkage under the action of the locking device. When the locking device unlocks the cabinet door, the control switch is opened in linkage under the action of the locking device.

[0005] Specifically, the locking device includes a first sliding sleeve fixedly installed on the cabinet door, a latch slidably disposed on the first sliding sleeve, a cam that pushes the latch to move, and a first return spring connected between the latch and the first sliding sleeve. The locking plate is provided with a lock groove that cooperates with the latch, and the wheel shaft of the cam passes through the cabinet door and is connected to the rotating handle on the outside.

[0006] The control switch includes a fixed contact and a moving contact. The fixed contact is mounted on the cabinet door via a mounting base.

The insulating push rod is linked to the cam.

[0007] When the cam drives the latch to insert into the lock groove, the moving contact is reset under the action of the second return spring, so that the fixed contact and the moving contact are in contact, closing the control switch. When the cam drives the push rod to separate the moving contact from the fixed contact and open the control switch, the latch is reset under the action of the first return spring and exits from the lock groove.

[0008] Specifically, both the push rod and the tail end of the latch are provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the top end of the cam. When the cam pushes the latch into the lock groove, the top end of the cam is engaged in the arc-shaped groove of the latch. When the cam pushes the push rod so that the moving contact contacts the fixed contact, the top end of the cam is engaged in the pushing arc-shaped groove.

[0009] Specifically, the mounting base and the fixed contact are connected by an insulating spring.

[0010] Specifically, the control switch is located above the cam, and the locking tongue is located below the cam.

[0020] See Figures 1-3 A switch cabinet with linkage function includes a cabinet body 1 and a cabinet door 2 rotatably mounted on the cabinet body 1. The cabinet door 2 is rotatably connected to one side of the cabinet body 1 via a hinge 19. A locking device is provided on the other side of the cabinet door 2. A locking plate 3 is provided on the cabinet body 1. A control switch 4 that is linked with the locking device is also provided on the inner side of the cabinet door 2. The control switch 4 is located on the power supply circuit of the cabinet body 1. When the locking device locks the cabinet door 2 onto the cabinet body 1, the control switch 4 is closed in linkage under the action of the locking device. When the locking device unlocks the cabinet door 2, the control switch 4 is automatically opened in linkage under the action of the locking device.

[0021] This utility model incorporates a linkage mechanism on the cabinet door 2 to link the opening and closing of the cabinet door 2 with the control switch 4. When the cabinet door 2 is in the open position, the control switch 4 is disconnected to de-energize the switch cabinet, thus ensuring the safety of maintenance personnel. When the cabinet door 2 is in the closed position, the control switch 4 is closed to energize the switch cabinet and enable it to operate normally.

[0022] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The locking device includes a first sliding sleeve 5 fixedly installed on the cabinet door 2, a locking tongue 6 slidably installed on the first sliding sleeve 5, a cam 7 that pushes the locking tongue 6 to move, and a first return spring 8 connected between the locking tongue 6 and the first sliding sleeve 5. The locking plate 3 is provided with a locking groove 9 that cooperates with the locking tongue 6. The axle of the cam 7 passes through the cabinet door 2 and is connected to the outer rotating handle 10. The control switch 4 includes a fixed contact 11 and a moving contact 12. The fixed contact 11 and the moving contact 12 are respectively connected to the power supply return current through wires. The fixed contact 11 is installed on the cabinet door 2 through the mounting base 13. The moving contact 12 is fixedly connected to the insulating push rod 14. A second sliding sleeve 15 is fixedly installed on the cabinet door 2. The insulating push rod 14 is slidably installed on the second sliding sleeve 15. A second return spring 16 is connected between the insulating push rod 14 and the second sliding sleeve 15. Push rod 14 is linked with cam 7. As cam 7 rotates continuously, the top of cam 7 will push the insulating push rod 14 and the locking tongue 6 respectively, causing them to move up and down. When the top of cam 7 pushes the locking tongue 6 and inserts it into the locking groove 9, the insulating push rod 14 is reset under the action of the second return spring 16, causing the moving contact 12 to move downward and contact the locking tongue 6. The control switch 4 is closed, the power supply return to cabinet 1 is conducted, and cabinet 1 is powered normally. When the top of cam 7 pushes the push rod and causes the moving contact 12 to move upward and separate from the fixed contact 11, the control switch 4 is opened. The locking tongue 6 is reset under the action of the first return spring 8 and exits from the locking groove 9. Cabinet door 2 can be opened normally, cabinet 1 is de-energized, and maintenance personnel can carry out maintenance on cabinet 1 under the premise of ensuring the safety of maintenance personnel.

[0023] In this embodiment, by linking the cam 7 with the insulating push rod 14 and the locking tongue 6, the control switch 4 can be automatically disconnected when the cabinet door 2 is opened, thus cutting off the power to the cabinet 1. After the cabinet door 2 is closed, the control switch 4 can be automatically closed, thus automatically restoring the circuit of the cabinet 1. The overall operation is convenient and does not require manual operation of the control switch 4.

[0024] See Figure 2 and Figure 3Specifically, to ensure that the locking device and control switch 4 can be stably kept in the closed position, both the push rod and the tail end of the latch 6 are provided with arc-shaped grooves 17 that cooperate with the top of the cam 7. When the cam 7 pushes the latch 6 into the lock groove 9, the top of the cam 7 is engaged in the arc-shaped groove 17 of the latch 6, thereby keeping the latch 6 in that position. Only after holding the rotating handle 10 and applying a certain twisting force can the top of the cam 7 be disengaged from the arc-shaped groove 17. Similarly, when the cam 7 pushes the push rod so that the moving contact 12 contacts the fixed contact 11, the top of the cam 7 is engaged in the pushing arc-shaped groove 17. Only after holding the rotating handle 10 and applying a certain twisting force can the top of the cam 7 be disengaged from the arc-shaped groove 17, thereby ensuring that the control switch 4 can be stably kept in the open position.

[0025] Understandably, to effectively address the issue of high assembly precision requirements and the potential for cam 7 jamming caused by direct rigid contact between the fixed contact 11 and the moving contact 12, the mounting base 13 is connected to the fixed contact 11 via an insulating spring 18. This design allows for flexible contact between the fixed contact 11 and the moving contact 12, significantly reducing the design and assembly precision requirements of the components. The control switch 4 is positioned above the cam 7, and the locking tongue 6 is positioned below the cam 7.

[0026] Unless otherwise stated, if any of the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model discloses a numerical range, then the disclosed numerical range is a preferred numerical range. Anyone skilled in the art should understand that the preferred numerical range is merely one among many feasible numerical values ​​that has a more obvious or representative technical effect. Because there are many numerical values, it is impossible to list them all. Therefore, this utility model discloses only some numerical values ​​to illustrate the technical solutions of the invention. Furthermore, the numerical values ​​listed above should not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention.

[0027] Meanwhile, if the present invention discloses or relates to mutually fixedly connected parts or structural components, then unless otherwise stated, the fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (e.g., using bolts or screws), or a non-detachable fixed connection (e.g., riveting, welding). Of course, mutually fixed connections can also be replaced by an integral structure (e.g., manufactured by casting) (except where it is obviously impossible to use an integral forming process).
