[0010] In some embodiments, the bottom wall is provided with a slot extending in a predetermined direction. The bottom wall includes a first bottom wall and a second bottom wall located on opposite sides of the slot. The slider extends into the guide groove through the slot, and the circumference of the two second rollers abuts against the first bottom wall and the second bottom wall, respectively.

[0011] In some embodiments, the bottom wall is provided with a slot extending in a predetermined direction; and the slider includes a first sliding body arranged vertically and a second sliding body arranged horizontally, the top of the first sliding body extending into the guide groove through the slot, the bottom of the first sliding body extending out of the guide groove through the slot and connected to the second sliding body, and the second sliding body being connected to the cabinet.

[0012] In some embodiments, the cabinet is connected to the slider via a vertically extending connecting portion, and the cabinet is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting portion via a rotating mechanism.

[0013] In some embodiments, the rotating mechanism includes: a first rotating body connected to a connecting portion; a second rotating body rotatably connected to the first rotating body and connected to a cabinet; and a positioning pin coupled to the first rotating body and the second rotating body respectively, the positioning pin being configured to lock the first rotating body and the second rotating body to restrict relative rotation of the first rotating body and the second rotating body, and the positioning pin being further configured to release the first rotating body and the second rotating body to allow relative rotation of the first rotating body and the second rotating body.

[0030] This application provides a mobile cabinet, see [link / reference] Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the mobile cabinet in this embodiment of the application includes a guide mechanism 10, a moving mechanism 20, and a cabinet body 30.

[0031] The guide mechanism 10 includes a guide groove 11 extending in a predetermined direction, the guide groove 11 including a top wall 13 and a bottom wall 14 disposed opposite each other. The predetermined direction can be understood as the direction of movement of the cabinet 30. In some examples, the guide mechanism 10 may be elongated (i.e., the length of the guide mechanism 10 is much greater than its width). The predetermined direction may be the length direction of the guide mechanism 10.

[0032] The moving mechanism 20 includes a slider 21, at least one first roller 24, and at least one second roller 25. Both the at least one first roller 24 and the at least one second roller 25 are rotatably connected to the slider 21 and are disposed within a guide groove 11. The rotation axis 26 of the at least one first roller 24 is close to the top wall 13, and the circumference of the at least one first roller 24 abuts against the top wall 13. The rotation axis 27 of the at least one second roller 25 is close to the bottom wall 14, and the circumference of the at least one second roller 25 abuts against the bottom wall 14. All or part of the slider 21 may be disposed within the guide groove 11. Alternatively, the slider 21 may be disposed outside the guide groove 11, provided that the position of the slider 21 satisfies the requirement that the first roller 24 and the second roller 25 are located within the guide groove 11.

[0033] The cabinet 30 is connected to and suspended below the slider 21, allowing it to move in a predetermined direction via the moving mechanism 20. The cabinet 30 can be any suitable cabinet structure and can be used to place any suitable object. For example, the cabinet 30 can be an electrical cabinet, which may house control equipment, power supply equipment, testing equipment, or monitoring equipment, etc. This application does not limit the structure or use of the cabinet 30.

[0034] In this embodiment of the application, the moving mechanism 20 has two sets of rollers deployed on the slider 21. One set of rollers includes at least one first roller 24, which is positioned near the top wall 13, and its circumference is in contact with the top wall 13. The other set of rollers includes at least one second roller 25, which is positioned near the bottom wall 14, and its circumference is in contact with the bottom wall 14. Thus, by having two sets of rollers in contact with the top wall 13 and the bottom wall 14 of the guide groove 11 respectively, vertical swaying of the slider 21 can be prevented, which helps improve the stability of the cabinet 30 during movement. Furthermore, deploying two sets of rollers helps reduce the friction between the moving mechanism 20 and the guide groove 11, reducing the probability of jamming between them.

[0035] In some embodiments, the bottom wall 14 is provided with a slot 12 extending in a predetermined direction. If the slider 21 is entirely deployed within the guide groove 11, the cabinet 30 can be connected to the slider 21 via the slot 12. If a portion of the slider 21 is deployed within the guide groove 11, the slider 21 can extend into the guide groove 11 via the slot 12.

[0036] In some examples, the bottom wall 14 includes a first bottom wall 15 and a second bottom wall 16 located on opposite sides of the slot 12, through which the slider 21 extends into the guide groove 11. The at least one second roller 25 may engage with at least one of the first bottom wall 15 or the second bottom wall 16. As an example, combining... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the guide groove 11 may include a top wall 13, a first side wall 17, a second side wall 18, a first bottom wall 15, and a second bottom wall 16. The first side wall 17 and the second side wall 18 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the top wall 13, and the bottom ends of the first side wall 17 and the second side wall 18 extend towards each other to form the first bottom wall 15 and the second bottom wall 16, respectively. A gap is provided between the first bottom wall 15 and the second bottom wall 16, and a groove 12 is formed through this gap. It can be understood that, in order to show the internal structure of the guide groove 11 and the first roller 24 and the second roller 25 deployed within the guide groove 11, Figure 1 The guide mechanism 10 shown is the effect after removing the top wall 13 and the first side wall 17. As another example, the guide mechanism 10 can be formed by bending a sheet metal. This helps to reduce processing difficulty and thus reduce production costs.

[0037] It should be noted that the structure of the guide mechanism 10 described above is merely exemplary. The slot 12 of the guide groove 11 is not limited to being formed on the bottom wall 14, but can also be formed in other locations. Furthermore, the bottom wall 14 is not limited to a split structure; when the slot 12 is formed in other locations, the bottom wall 14 can also be a one-piece structure. This application embodiment does not limit this aspect.

[0038] In some embodiments, the slider 21 may include a first sliding body 22 arranged vertically and a second sliding body 23 arranged horizontally. The top of the first sliding body 22 extends into the guide groove 11 through a slot 12, and the bottom of the first sliding body 22 extends out of the guide groove 11 through the slot 12 and connects to the second sliding body 23. The second sliding body 23 is connected to the cabinet 30. In this way, the second sliding body 23 can provide connection space for the cabinet 30, which facilitates connection with the cabinet 30.

[0039] As an example, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first sliding body 22 can be formed by a plate-like structure arranged vertically, and the second sliding body 23 can be formed by a plate-like structure arranged horizontally. The bottom end of the first sliding body 22 can be connected to the middle of the second sliding body 23 to form a slider 21 with an inverted T-shaped longitudinal section. When the slider 21 moves in a predetermined direction, the second sliding body 23 can partially or completely block the corresponding slot 12 during the movement. The slider 21 has high stability, and the second sliding body 23 can provide a relatively large connection space, which facilitates the connection between the slider 21 and the cabinet 30. It should be understood that the structure of the slider 21 described above is only exemplary, and other suitable structures can be adopted according to actual needs. For example, the slider 21 can also be formed by a single plate-like structure. The embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0040] In some embodiments, in conjunction with Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the at least one first roller 24 may include a plurality of first rollers 24, which are arranged along a predetermined direction. The at least one second roller 25 may include a plurality of second rollers 25, which are arranged along a predetermined direction. By providing a plurality of first rollers 24 and / or a plurality of second rollers 25, the stability of the moving mechanism 20 during movement can be improved.

[0041] As an example, such as Figure 3As shown, the plurality of first rollers 24 may include three first rollers 24 arranged sequentially along the length direction of the slider 21, and the plurality of second rollers 25 may include two second rollers 25 arranged sequentially along the length direction of the slider 21. It should be understood that the number of first rollers 24 and second rollers 25 described above is merely exemplary; in practical applications, any number of first rollers 24 and second rollers 25 can be selected according to actual needs. For example, the moving mechanism 20 may include one first roller 24 and a plurality of second rollers 25, or it may include a plurality of first rollers 24 and one second roller 25. This application embodiment does not limit the number of first rollers 24 and second rollers 25.

[0042] In some embodiments, at least one first roller 24 and at least one second roller 25 are arranged sequentially at intervals along a predetermined direction. This improves the compactness of the arrangement of the first roller 24 and the second roller 25, reduces the size of the slider 21, and consequently lowers production costs. As an example, combined with... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the moving mechanism 20 may include three first rollers 24 and two second rollers 25, with the two second rollers 25 respectively deployed between two adjacent first rollers 24.

[0043] In some embodiments, in conjunction with Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the at least one first roller 24 includes at least one set of first rollers 24, and each set of first rollers 24 includes multiple first rollers 24 whose rotation axes 26 coincide. The at least one second roller 25 includes at least one set of second rollers 25, and each set of second rollers 25 includes multiple second rollers 25 whose rotation axes 27 coincide. By setting multiple first rollers 24 and / or multiple second rollers 25 whose rotation axes coincide, the frictional force of the moving mechanism 20 in the axial direction of the rollers can be increased, which can prevent the moving mechanism 20 from shaking along the axial direction of the rollers to a certain extent, and is conducive to further improving the stability of the cabinet 30 during movement.

[0044] In some examples, each group of first rollers 24 may include two first rollers 24, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the slider 21, and the rotation axes 26 of the two first rollers 24 coincide. That is, the rotation axes 26 of the two first rollers 24 are on the same straight line. Each group of second rollers 25 includes two second rollers 25, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the slider 21, and the rotation axes 27 of the two second rollers 25 coincide. That is, the rotation axes 27 of the two second rollers 25 are on the same straight line. In this way, the two first rollers 24 in each group of first rollers 24 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the slider 21, and the two second rollers 25 in each group of second rollers 25 are also symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the slider 21. In this way, the slider 21 can be subjected to balanced forces, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the slider 21, and thus improving the stability of the cabinet 30 during movement.

[0045] As an example, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, if the slider 21 includes a first sliding body 22 and a second sliding body 23, and the top of the first sliding body 22 extends into the guide groove 11 via the slot 12. Two first rollers 24 in each set of first rollers 24 can be respectively deployed on opposite sides of the first sliding body 22. The first rollers 24 can be connected to the first sliding body 22 via, for example, their own pivot. Similarly, two second rollers 25 in each set of second rollers 25 can also be respectively deployed on opposite sides of the first sliding body 22. The second rollers 25 can also be connected to the first sliding body 22 via, for example, their own pivot.

[0046] In some examples, if the bottom wall 14 is provided with a slot 12 extending in a predetermined direction, and the bottom wall 14 includes a first bottom wall 15 and a second bottom wall 16 located on opposite sides of the slot 12, then the circumference of the two second rollers 25 in each set of second rollers 25 can abut against the first bottom wall 15 and the second bottom wall 16 respectively. This ensures that the slider 21 is subjected to balanced forces.

[0047] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the cabinet 30 can be connected to the slider 21 via a vertically extending connecting portion 31. For example, if the slider 21 includes a first sliding body 22 and a second sliding body 23, the top end of the connecting portion 31 can be connected to the second sliding body 23, and the bottom end of the connecting portion 31 can be connected to the cabinet 30. Thus, the guide mechanism 10 can be installed at a relatively high position, and the cabinet 30 can be deployed at a convenient operating height via the connecting portion 31, thereby improving the ease of operation of the cabinet 30. In some examples, the connecting portion 31 can be formed by a rigid rod-like structure. This allows the cabinet 30 to be stably suspended below the slider 21, which helps improve the stability of the cabinet 30 during movement.

[0048] In some examples, the connector 31 can be a hollow structure, which can be configured to accommodate cables extending from the cabinet 30, such as communication cables, power cables, connection cables for testing / monitoring, etc. As an example, the connector 31 can be formed using, for instance, a profile with a hollow structure. This achieves the purpose of concealing and protecting the cables.

[0049] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the cabinet 30 can be rotatably connected to the lower part of the slider 21 via a rotating mechanism 32. This allows the user to adjust the angle of the cabinet 30 according to actual usage needs, improving the ease of operation. For example, the cabinet 30 can be connected to the bottom end of the connecting part 31 via the rotating mechanism 32, and the top end of the connecting part 31 can be connected to the slider 21. Thus, the connecting part 31 and the slider 21 remain relatively fixed, and the cabinet 30 can rotate relative to the connecting part 31.

[0050] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotating mechanism 32 may include a first rotating body 33 and a second rotating body 34. The first rotating body 33 may be connected to the connecting part 31, and the second rotating body 34 is rotatably connected to the first rotating body 33 and connected to the cabinet 30. As an example, the second rotating body 34 may be configured to rotate about a vertically extending rotation axis.

[0051] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the rotating mechanism 32 may further include positioning pins 35 coupled to the first rotating body 33 and the second rotating body 34, respectively. The positioning pins 35 may have a locked position and a released position. If the user needs to rotate the cabinet 30, the positioning pins 35 can be switched to the released position, releasing the first rotating body 33 and the second rotating body 34, allowing them to rotate relative to each other. This allows the user to adjust the angle of the cabinet 30. If the user needs to operate the cabinet from a relatively fixed position, the positioning pins 35 can be switched to the locked position. The positioning pins 35 lock the first rotating body 33 and the second rotating body 34, restricting their relative rotation, thereby allowing the cabinet 30 to be fixed in a specific posture according to the user's needs.

[0052] As an example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first rotating body 33 can be fixedly connected to the connecting part 31, and the second rotating body 34 can be annular and sleeved on the outside of the first rotating body 33. The positioning pin 35 can be threadedly connected to the second rotating body 34. By screwing in the positioning pin 35, the protruding end of the positioning pin 35 can be pressed against the outer periphery of the first rotating body 33, thereby restricting the relative rotation of the first rotating body 33 and the second rotating body 34. By unscrewing the positioning pin 35, the protruding end of the positioning pin 35 can be disengaged from the outer periphery of the first rotating body 33, thereby allowing the first rotating body 33 and the second rotating body 34 to rotate relative to each other.

[0053] It is understood that the positioning pin 35 is not limited to being threadedly connected to the second rotating body 34, but can also be used to lock the first rotating body 33 and the second rotating body 34 by means of snap-fit ​​or other methods. Furthermore, the aforementioned rotating mechanism 32 is merely exemplary, and the cabinet 30 can also be connected to the slider 21 via other types of rotating mechanisms 32, such as a universal joint. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0054] In some embodiments, the mobile cabinet may further include a drive mechanism, which may be connected to the slider 21 in a transmission manner. The drive mechanism can drive the slider 21 to move in a predetermined direction, thereby causing the cabinet 30 to move in the predetermined direction. As an example, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, examples of the drive mechanism may include, but are not limited to, motors, engines, etc. The drive mechanism can be connected to the slider 21 via, for example, a transmission chain 40. Of course, the drive mechanism can also be connected to the slider 21 via other transmission mechanisms such as linkages, gears, etc., to drive the slider 21 to move in a predetermined direction.

[0055] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or technical improvements to the embodiments in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
