Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of low-voltage switchgear transportation technology, and in particular to an adjustable support for transporting low-voltage switchgear. Background Technology

[0002] In modern power systems, low-voltage switchgear is a key piece of equipment for power distribution and control, with wide applications and high demand. Efficient and safe transportation is essential in all stages of its manufacturing, installation, commissioning, maintenance, and repair.

[0003] Because low-voltage switch cabinets come in a variety of specifications and have significant size differences, the existing transport support structure is relatively fixed and difficult to adapt to different cabinet specifications. During transportation, the mismatch between the support and the cabinet size makes it impossible for the cabinet to be stably supported and fixed. This can easily lead to shaking, displacement, or even tipping over during transport. This can not only cause cosmetic damage such as scratches and dents on the cabinet surface, but also loosen internal electrical components and disconnected wiring, seriously affecting the electrical performance and service life of the cabinet, increasing later maintenance costs and safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, an adjustable support for transporting low-voltage switch cabinets was designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an adjustable support for transporting low-voltage switch cabinets, thus solving the problem that the fixed structure of the transport support for low-voltage switch cabinets makes it difficult to adapt to cabinets of various specifications.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable support for transporting low-voltage switch cabinets includes a main rod with two rectangular mounting plates movably mounted on its side walls, and a horizontally arranged support plate fixedly mounted on the top of each mounting plate.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of connecting rods 2 are hinged to the side wall of the main rod, and the other end of the plurality of connecting rods 2 is respectively hinged to the side wall of the corresponding mounting plate.

[0009] Preferably, a cylindrical sliding rod is provided in the middle of the main rod, the sliding rod and the main rod are integrally formed, and a sliding block is slidably installed on the outer wall of the sliding rod.

[0010] Preferably, two inclined connecting rods are hinged to the side wall of the sliding block, and the other end of each connecting rod is hinged to a corresponding mounting plate.

[0011] Preferably, a hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the upper part of the side wall of one of the mounting plates, and the other end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the side wall of the main rod.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixedly installed on the top of each of the two support plates, and a caster wheel is provided on the bottom of each of the two mounting plates.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the support plate is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves, which are evenly distributed along the length of the support plate.

[0014] Preferably, a support rod is provided on the inner wall of the corresponding sliding groove, and the support rod is adapted to and slidably connected to the corresponding sliding groove.

[0015] Preferably, the surface of the main rod is coated with an anti-corrosion coating.

[0016] Preferably, the main rod has a cuboid column structure.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention utilizes a mounting plate movably installed on the side wall of the main pole. Driven by a hydraulic cylinder, the mounting plate can be adjusted in angle and position relative to the main pole. When transporting smaller low-voltage switch cabinets, the operator simply activates the hydraulic cylinder, causing its output shaft to retract and move the mounting plate closer to the main pole. The distance between the two support plates then decreases until it matches the bottom dimensions of the cabinet. Conversely, when transporting larger cabinets, the hydraulic cylinder's output shaft extends, pushing the mounting plate away from the main pole and increasing the distance between the support plates. This flexible adjustment method allows the device to be widely applied to various sizes of low-voltage switch cabinets, greatly improving its versatility and practicality. It avoids the hassle of changing transport equipment due to mismatched cabinet dimensions and effectively reduces costs.

[0019] This invention features multiple casters, making the device exceptionally flexible in different directions. During transportation, operators do not need to expend a lot of physical effort to push or pull the support; a gentle force is all it takes to easily change the direction of movement. Whether in narrow warehouse passages, complex production workshops, or outdoor transportation sites, the casters ensure smooth movement of the support, greatly improving transportation efficiency.

Example

[0030] Please see Figure 1-4An adjustable transport bracket for low-voltage switchgear includes a main rod 1, on which two rectangular mounting plates 2 are movably mounted. A horizontally positioned support plate 21, made of wear-resistant steel, is fixedly mounted on the top of each mounting plate 2. Multiple connecting rods 22, made of carbon structural steel, are hinged to the side wall of the main rod 1. The other ends of the connecting rods 22 are hinged to the side wall of their respective mounting plates 2, with wear-resistant bearings at the hinge points. A cylindrical sliding rod 11 is located in the middle of the main rod 1, integrally formed with the main rod 1. A sliding block 12 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the sliding rod 11, with a lubrication layer on its inner wall. Two inclined connecting rods 121 are hinged to the side wall of the sliding block 12, with the other ends of the connecting rods 121 hinged to their respective mounting plates 2. The hinge shafts are made of... The main rod 1 is made of stainless steel. A hydraulic cylinder 4 is hinged to the upper side wall of one of the mounting plates 2, with the other end of the cylinder hinged to the side wall of the main rod 1. Fixing frames 22 are fixedly installed on the tops of the two support plates 21, with rubber anti-slip pads on the inner side of the fixing frames 22. Universal wheels 23, made of high-strength polyurethane, are installed on the bottoms of the two mounting plates 2. Multiple sliding grooves 211 (which can be T-shaped) are evenly distributed on the top of the support plates 21, with equal distances along the length of the support plates 21. Support rods 2111 are installed on the inner walls of the corresponding sliding grooves 211, fitting and slidingly connecting to them. A circular anti-slip support plate is installed on the top of the support rods 2111. The surface of the main rod 1 is coated with an anti-corrosion coating. The main rod 1 has a rectangular columnar structure.

[0031] Fixing frames 22 are fixedly installed on the top of the two support plates 21 respectively. Rubber anti-slip pads are provided on the inner side of the fixing frames 22. When the goods are placed on the support plates 21, they can be fixed by the fixing frames 22. The rubber anti-slip pads have good elasticity and anti-slip performance, which can increase the friction between the goods and the goods and prevent the goods from sliding, shaking or shifting during transportation. The surface of the main rod 1 is sprayed with an anti-corrosion coating. The anti-corrosion coating can form a protective film on the surface of the main rod 1, effectively preventing oxygen, moisture, chemicals and other substances from corroding the main rod 1 and extending its service life. Multiple T-shaped sliding grooves 211 are evenly opened on the top of the support plate 21. The multiple sliding grooves 211 are evenly distributed along the length of the support plate 21, so that the support rod 2111 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and shape of the goods, providing more precise support for the goods.

[0032] The support rod 2111 is fixedly connected to the sliding groove 211 on one of the support plates 21 and slidably connected to the sliding groove 211 on the top of the other support plate 21, so that the support rod 2111 forms a stable support point at this end. When the goods are placed on the adjustable transport bracket, the fixed end of the support rod 2111 can bear part of the weight of the goods and effectively transfer it to the support plate 21.

[0033] The outer wall of the sliding rod 11 is rounded to make the sliding block 12 slide more smoothly. The thickness of the sliding rod 11 is less than the thickness of the mounting plate 2 to prevent the sliding block 12 from contacting the mounting plate 2 when it moves, thus reducing the friction when the sliding block 12 slides.

[0034] Workflow

[0035] When the distance between the two support plates 21 needs to be adjusted according to the length of the bottom edge of the low-voltage switchgear to be transported, the hydraulic cylinder 4 is activated, and its output shaft begins to extend outward. Since one end of the hydraulic cylinder 4 is hinged to the side wall of the main rod 1 and the other end is hinged to the side wall of one of the mounting plates 2, as the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 4 extends, the mounting plate 2 is pushed, causing the top support plate 21 to gradually move away from the main rod 1. During this process, multiple connecting rods 2 3 hinged between the main rod 1 and the mounting plate 2 will rotate around the hinge point as the axis, providing structural support while ensuring the smooth movement of the mounting plate 2. As the mounting plate 2 moves, the connecting rod 1 121 hinged to the mounting plate 2 will move together. Since the other end of the connecting rod 1 121 is hinged to the sliding block 12, and the sliding block 12 can slide on the outer wall of the sliding rod 11 in the middle of the main rod 1, the movement of the connecting rod 1 121 will cause the sliding block 12 to move along the radial direction of the sliding rod 11. The movement of the sliding block 12 will then be transmitted through the connecting rod 1 121 hinged on the other side. The other mounting plate 2 and its top support plate 21 move synchronously. Eventually, the two mounting plates 2 move to both sides, and the distance between them increases. When the two mounting plates 2 move, the support rod 2111 slides in the sliding groove 211 on the top of the two support plates 21. This design not only further enhances the connection stability between the two support plates 21, but also effectively disperses the pressure of the low-voltage switchgear on the support plate 21 during transportation, avoiding deformation or damage to the support plate 21 due to excessive local stress. At the same time, the sliding of the support rod 2111 in the sliding groove 211 has a certain guiding effect, which can limit the movement direction of the support plate 21 and prevent it from deviating during transportation. When the distance is adjusted to match the bottom size of the low-voltage switchgear, the action of the hydraulic cylinder 4 stops. At this time, the low-voltage switchgear can be placed stably on the two support plates 21. The cabinet is assisted in fixing by the fixing frame 22, and convenient transportation can be achieved by the casters 23 on the mounting plate 2.

[0036] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
