Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical equipment technology, specifically relating to a suspended adjustable sheet metal frame. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical cabinets, also known as distribution cabinets, are used to store electrical equipment such as switches and circuit breakers, and to protect these components for proper operation. They are typically made of steel to protect the components. Currently, in the use of electrical cabinets, when existing components inside become damaged, age, or are discontinued, replacement is necessary. During the process of trying to replace them with alternative models, there are often size differences between the new and old components, leading to inconsistencies after installation. Furthermore, some components are too large, exceeding the size limits of the electrical cabinet, further exacerbating production difficulties.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN 214960433 U provides an electrical cabinet with an adjustable and stable support structure, including an electrical cabinet body. Multiple support plates are installed inside the electrical cabinet body. Guide grooves are symmetrically formed on opposite inner walls of the electrical cabinet body, and guide columns are installed inside the guide grooves. Guide blocks penetrating the guide columns are symmetrically installed on opposite inner walls of the support plates. Guide slots are symmetrically formed on the rear inner wall of the electrical cabinet body, and clamping blocks are installed inside the guide slots. Bearings are installed inside the clamping blocks, and connecting columns are installed inside the bearings. Threaded rods penetrating the support plates are fixed on the connecting columns, and rotating disks are fixed on the threaded rods. This utility model features adjustable support plates, but its adjustment range is limited by the height of the electrical cabinet.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a suspended adjustable sheet metal frame to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses a suspended adjustable sheet metal frame, comprising an electrical cabinet body 6, a load-bearing suspension 1, a side mounting plate 2, multiple sheet metal fixing and adjustment holes 3, a first adjustable bracket 4, and a second adjustable bracket 5. The multiple sheet metal fixing and adjustment holes 3 are evenly distributed around the ends of the load-bearing suspension 1 and the side mounting plate 2. Mounting holes are provided at both ends of the first adjustable bracket 4 and the second adjustable bracket 5. The first adjustable bracket 4 is detachably connected to the sheet metal fixing and adjustment holes 3 of the load-bearing suspension 1 through the mounting holes. The second adjustable bracket 5 is detachably connected to the sheet metal fixing and adjustment holes 3 of the side mounting plate 2 through the mounting holes. The side mounting plate 2 is located at the top of the electrical cabinet body 6, and the load-bearing suspension 1 is located at the bottom of the electrical cabinet body 6.

[0026] Specifically, the side mounting plate 2 is fixed to the side of the electrical cabinet body 6 and does not serve as a load-bearing structure, while the load-bearing suspension 1 is set on the side of the electrical cabinet body 6 and can also be used as a load-bearing structure.

[0027] In the practical application of this embodiment, the side wall of the load-bearing suspension 1 is provided with multiple cavities 7, and the electrical components are routed, installed or maintained through the cavities 7.

[0028] In the practical application of this embodiment, a lifting platform 8 is also included. The lifting platform 8 is disposed at the bottom of the load-bearing suspension 1 and the electrical cabinet body 6. The lifting platform 8 includes a cylinder 9, multiple sets of connecting columns 11, a base 12, a platform 19, and two sets of linkage mechanisms. The cylinder 9 is fixed on the base 12. The piston inside the cylinder 9 is connected to the connecting column 11. One end of the connecting column 11 is connected to one set of linkage mechanisms, and the other end is connected to another set of linkage mechanisms. The top of the linkage mechanism is connected to the platform 19.

[0029] In the practical application of this embodiment, each linkage mechanism includes a first connector 13, a second connector 14, a third connector 15, a fourth connector 16, a fifth connector 17, and a sixth connector 18. One end of the first connector 13 is connected to one end of the base 12 via a bolt assembly. The first connector 13 has a mounting hole in its middle and at its end. The fifth connector 17 and the sixth connector 18 are bolted to the middle and end of the first connector 13 via the mounting holes, respectively. The other ends of the fifth connector 17 and the sixth connector 18 are bolted to the end and middle of the third connector 15, respectively.

[0031] In practical applications of this embodiment, multiple sets of casters 10 are also included, and the multiple sets of casters 10 are fixed to the bottom of the base 12.

[0032] In use, the staff first fixes the side mounting plate 2 to the top of the electrical cabinet and the load-bearing suspension 1 to the bottom of the electrical cabinet. Then, the first adjustable bracket 4 and the second adjustable bracket 5 are fixed to the sheet metal fixing adjustment holes 3 of the load-bearing suspension 1 and the sheet metal fixing adjustment holes 3 of the side mounting plate 2 respectively using bolt assemblies. The positions of the first adjustable bracket 4 and the second adjustable bracket 5 can be adjusted according to the size of the electrical cabinet. Finally, the fixed electrical cabinet is moved to the lifting platform 8. The lifting platform 8 is equipped with casters 10, so it can be moved freely. The linkage mechanism at the bottom of the lifting platform 8 drives the piston through the cylinder 9. The piston pushes the linkage mechanism, so that the linkage mechanism can perform mechanical movements of vertical extension and retraction, thereby raising or lowering the height of the electrical cabinet.

[0033] This solution can adapt to electrical installation cabinets of various specifications by adjusting the positions of the first adjustable bracket 4 and the second adjustable bracket 5, greatly expanding its application range and flexibility. Furthermore, the lifting platform 8 allows the electrical cabinet to be easily moved to any position and its height to be adjusted. In addition, the structural design of this solution is stable and reliable, effectively bearing the weight of the components. Through redundant design, it can withstand forces from different angles. Moreover, this solution has the ability to stack multiple rows of electrical components, facilitating wiring. It is especially suitable for environments with limited space, significantly improving space utilization.
