Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is a protective cover for a button box. Background Technology

[0002] Pushbutton boxes are widely used in industrial automation control systems, primarily housing buttons, switches, and terminal blocks. They are a key component for human-machine interaction between operators and equipment. In practical applications, pushbutton boxes are typically exposed to the production environment, making them susceptible to external factors such as dust, moisture, oil, and accidental impacts. These factors can lead to button malfunctions, electrical short circuits, or abnormal equipment operation, and in severe cases, may even cause safety accidents.

[0003] In existing technologies, to prevent external objects from damaging button boxes, sealed covers or protective plates are typically used. However, these protective structures generally suffer from problems such as inconvenient installation, insufficient structural rigidity, limited protection range, or high cost, making it difficult to balance on-site adaptability with the need for efficient protection. Especially in situations with limited space or requiring frequent operation and maintenance, the bulky structure of existing protective devices is more likely to cause interference, reducing equipment efficiency and operational comfort.

[0004] Furthermore, some traditional protective structures lack safety design in terms of material selection and edge treatment, resulting in sharp edges and corners, and easy corrosion, which not only affect the appearance and durability of the equipment but also pose a significant risk of personal injury. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a button box protective device that is simple in structure, securely installed, safe and reliable, and has excellent protective performance to meet the diverse needs of industrial sites. Utility model content:

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a protective cover for a button box.

[0006] A button box protective cover includes a protective plate, the protective plate having a bent structure, comprising a connecting section and a protective section, the connecting section being fixedly connected to the rear end face of the button box, and the protective section having an arched three-bend structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting section is connected to the rear end face of the button box by multiple bolts.

[0008] Furthermore, the arched three-bend structure of the protective section includes a first bend section, a second bend section, and a third bend section connected in sequence, wherein the first bend section is connected to the connecting section, and the third bend section extends freely.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the third bending segment is bent inward to form a rounded corner.

[0010] Furthermore, the protective plate is made of metal sheet, and the surface of the sheet has an anti-rust coating.

[0011] Furthermore, the thickness of the protective plate is 1.5mm to 3mm.

[0012] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, this utility model has many significant advantages in terms of structural design and functional implementation. First, by adopting a bent protective plate and introducing an arched triple-bend design, a protective form with good spatial containment and drainage capacity is formed, which significantly improves the protective performance of the button box and can effectively block the direct impact of dust, water droplets and external objects, thereby protecting the safety and reliability of the buttons and electrical components.

[0013] Secondly, the protective cover is mechanically fixed to the rear end of the button box using multiple bolts through the connecting section, enhancing the overall structural stability and vibration resistance, ensuring that it is not prone to loosening or deformation during long-term operation or in industrial environments. Meanwhile, the three-section bending structure not only improves the rigidity of the protective plate but also enhances human and machine safety by forming rounded corners at the ends through inward folds, reducing the risk of scratches and meeting the high standards of safe operation required in industrial settings.

[0014] Furthermore, the protective plates are made of metal and coated with an anti-rust coating, enhancing the equipment's oxidation resistance in humid and corrosive environments, extending its service life, and reducing maintenance costs. The 1.5mm to 3mm plate thickness design ensures the protective plates maintain appropriate weight while guaranteeing strength, facilitating transportation, installation, and future replacement.

[0018] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0019] A button box protective cover includes a protective plate, which has a bent structure and includes a connecting section 1 and a protective section 2. The connecting section 1 is fixedly connected to the rear end face of the button box, and the protective section 2 has an arched three-bend structure.

[0020] The button box protective cover uses a protective plate to cover the space above the button box, effectively preventing dust, water droplets, and external objects from directly falling into the buttons or wiring areas. The protective plate is formed into two parts: a connecting section 1 and a protective section 2, through a bending process. The connecting section 1 is vertically positioned and tightly fitted to the rear end face of the button box for structural fixation. The protective section 2 extends from the top of the connecting section 1, using a three-section bending to form an arched structure, giving its upper surface a certain angle and height, thus providing good drainage and protective space. The three-bending structure specifically includes a first bending section 3 (the inclined portion extending from the connecting section 1), a second bending section 4 (the middle section with a transition angle), and a third bending section 5 (the edge section extending towards the front of the button box). This structural combination enhances its overall rigidity and mechanical performance.

[0021] This embodiment offers advantages such as simple structure and convenient installation, and the three-bend arched structure significantly enhances the protective cover's anti-drip and anti-impact functions. Since the protective plate is fixed to the button box via the rear connecting section 1, it does not obstruct the operation panel, and the arched structure provides sufficient space to prevent structural compression from affecting button operation. Furthermore, this design effectively reduces the direct impact of external mechanical collisions or falling objects on the button box, extending the equipment's service life and improving operational safety.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the connecting section 1 is connected to the rear end face of the button box by a plurality of bolts.

[0023] In this embodiment, the connecting section 1 is fixed to the rear end face of the button box using multiple bolts, achieving a stable installation of the protective cover. Bolts, as mechanical fasteners, provide reliable connection strength, effectively preventing the protective cover from loosening or falling off due to external forces such as vibration and impact, thus improving the overall durability and reliability of the structure.

[0024] The bolted connection method simplifies and speeds up installation, and facilitates subsequent maintenance or replacement. Furthermore, the multi-point connection helps to evenly distribute the load, improving the structure's tensile and shear strength, and ensuring the stability of the protective cover during use and its long-term operational stability.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the arched three-bend structure of the protective section 2 includes a first bend section 3, a second bend section 4, and a third bend section 5 connected in sequence, wherein the first bend section 3 is connected to the connecting section 1, and the third bend section 5 extends freely.

[0026] This structure incorporates three continuous bends in the protective section 2. The first bend, 3, extends forward and upward from the connecting section 1, forming the initial inclination of the protective cover. The second bend, 4, further changes direction, forming an arched transition structure in the middle. The third bend, 5, extends outward as the terminal structure, forming an effective covering edge. This design creates a stable and spatially balanced coverage that does not obstruct vision or operation while increasing the protective area and rigidity.

[0027] The three-bend structure creates an arched structure with a specific shape for the protective panel, enhancing its protective space's containment and drainage capacity, effectively preventing problems such as water accumulation and dust buildup. Simultaneously, this continuous structure possesses good bending and compressive strength, helping to cope with external pressures and environmental impacts in daily working conditions.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the end of the third bending segment 5 is bent inward to form a rounded corner 6 at its end.

[0029] This implementation method involves bending inwards again at the end of the third bending section 5, resulting in a smooth transition at the edge and forming a rounded corner structure 6 without sharp angles. This bending angle design not only reduces the exposed length of the board edge but also enhances safety during use by blunting the edge, preventing scratches or collision injuries from human contact.

[0030] The rounded corner design at the ends significantly reduces the risk of personal injury caused by sharp edges of the protective cover, improving safety and user-friendliness at the application site. This structure also reduces stress concentration at the ends to some extent, preventing fatigue cracks or breakage due to localized stress during prolonged use.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the protective plate is made of sheet metal with a rust-proof coating on its surface.

[0032] In this embodiment, metal sheets, such as stainless steel or galvanized steel, are used as the base material for the protective plate, possessing good mechanical strength and processing performance. To enhance its durability in humid and corrosive environments, an anti-rust coating is applied to the metal surface, such as epoxy resin paint, powder coating, or anodized layer, thereby effectively isolating it from air and moisture and slowing down the corrosion process.

[0033] The application of anti-rust coatings significantly improves the corrosion resistance of protective covers, extends their service life in outdoor or high-humidity environments, and reduces maintenance frequency and replacement costs. At the same time, it maintains the structural strength and rigidity of the metal substrate, ensuring long-term stable protective function.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the thickness of the protective plate is 1.5 mm to 3 mm.

[0035] By setting the thickness of the protective plate between 1.5mm and 3mm, sufficient structural strength and impact resistance are ensured while controlling the overall weight, facilitating handling and installation. This thickness range is considered medium within the metalworking industry, suitable for routine bending and surface treatment operations, ensuring structural forming accuracy and long-term service strength.

[0036] Within this thickness range, the protective plate not only possesses good rigidity and stability, capable of withstanding the impacts and vibrations of daily operation, but also has a moderate weight, avoiding excessive additional load on the button box. This design optimizes the balance between manufacturing cost and protective performance, and has good engineering adaptability.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
