[0028] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate this embodiment, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product.
[0029] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that certain well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the accompanying drawings. The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0030] like Figure 1-10As shown in the diagram, this utility model proposes a lightweight ring main unit that is easy to assemble and disassemble, comprising a base 1, a C-shaped plate assembly 2, and a roof 3. The base 1 has multiple symmetrically distributed first locking mechanisms 13 at the bottom corresponding to the C-shaped plate assembly 2. The top of the C-shaped plate assembly 2 is detachably connected to the roof 3, and the bottom surface of the roof 3 has multiple symmetrically distributed second locking mechanisms 33. By locking or unlocking the various first locking mechanisms 13 and second locking mechanisms 33, the roof and C-shaped plate assembly 2, or the base 1 and C-shaped plate assembly 2, can be installed or removed, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly of the entire ring main unit. The mechanical forms of the first locking mechanisms 13 and second locking mechanisms 33 include, but are not limited to, common mechanical locking devices such as quick-release bolts, spring clips, and eccentric wheel locks. The symmetrical distribution of the first locking mechanisms 13 on the base 1 and the symmetrical distribution of the second locking mechanisms 33 on the roof 3 ensures even stress distribution between the C-shaped plate assembly 2 and the base 1 and roof 3, which helps improve the overall stability of the ring main unit structure. The C-shaped plate assembly 2 includes a side plate 21 and a rear plate 22. The rear plate 22 has side plates 21 on both sides, and the side plates 21 are detachably connected to the rear plate 22. The side plates 21 have a detachable door 211 on the side away from the rear plate 22. By further disassembling the C-shaped plate assembly 2, the detachability of the ring main unit is improved.
[0031] The base 1 has a first positioning groove 12 on the side near the C-shaped plate assembly 2, and the bottom of the C-shaped plate assembly 2 is embedded in the first positioning groove 12. Through the cooperation of the first positioning groove 12 and the C-shaped plate assembly 2, the C-shaped plate assembly 2 can be quickly and vertically positioned on the base 1, avoiding errors from manual assembly and improving the assembly accuracy between the C-shaped plate assembly 2 and the base 1. The base 1 has multiple symmetrically distributed second positioning grooves 121 along the length of the first positioning groove 12. The side plate 21 and the rear plate 22 are respectively provided with a first positioning block 216 and a second positioning block 222 at positions corresponding to the second positioning grooves 121. Through the cooperation of the first positioning block 216 and the second positioning block 222 with the second positioning grooves 121, the side plate 21 and the rear plate 22 can be quickly positioned on the base 1, improving assembly efficiency. The base 1 has a first locking mechanism 13 at the position corresponding to the second positioning groove 121. The first locking mechanism 13 includes a vertical shaft 131 and a clamping plate 132. One end of the vertical shaft 131 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the clamping plate 132 is rotatably connected to the vertical shaft 131 and can rotate to the top of the second positioning groove 121. When it is necessary to fix the C-shaped plate assembly 2 to the base 1, the first positioning block 216 and the second positioning block 222 are both embedded in the second positioning groove 121, and then the clamping plate 132 is rotated to the top of the second positioning groove 121, that is, to be in contact with the first positioning block 216 and the second positioning block 222. At this time, the C-shaped plate assembly 2 is completely fixed to the base 1. The C-shaped plate assembly 2 and the base 1 can be installed or removed without additional fastening tools (such as wrenches or screwdrivers). Elastic pads 122 are provided on the bottom surface of the first positioning groove 12 and the second positioning groove 121, and the top surface of the elastic pads 122 is in contact with the C-shaped plate assembly 2. By setting the elastic pad 122, the sealing performance of the C-shaped plate assembly 2 and the base 1 can be improved. Simultaneously, the elastic deformation force of the elastic pad 122 ensures a tighter fit between the C-shaped plate assembly 2 and the base 1, preventing loosening due to assembly errors. The side of the base 1 away from the C-shaped plate assembly 2 has multiple symmetrically distributed support feet 11, through which the ring network box contacts the bottom surface. Each support foot 11 includes a fixed rod 111 and a telescopic rod 112. One end of the fixed rod 111 is integrated with the base 1, and the other end is threadedly connected to the telescopic rod 112. The telescopic rod 112, through its threaded engagement with the fixed rod 111, can move axially along the fixed rod 111, thereby allowing independent adjustment of the height of each support foot 11. This enables the ring network box to be stably placed on uneven ground, effectively improving its environmental adaptability.
[0032] Side panels 21 are provided with sliding grooves 213 on the sides corresponding to the rear panel 22 and the door 211. The rear panel 22 and the door 211 are respectively provided with first guide bars and second guide bars 221 corresponding to the sliding grooves 213. Through the cooperation of the first guide bars and the sliding grooves 213, two different side panels 21 can be quickly assembled onto the rear panel 22. This enables the rapid assembly or disassembly of the C-shaped panel assembly 2, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of assembly and disassembly of the C-shaped panel assembly 2. The side of the door 211 near the side panel 21 is provided with a hinged connecting plate 212, and the side of the connecting plate 212 away from the door 211 is provided with a second guide bar 221. The door 211 can be installed onto the side panel 21 by combining the connecting plate 212 with the side panel 21, and the connecting plate 212 also facilitates the removal of the door 211 from the side panel 21. The bottom end face of the slide groove 213 is in contact with the bottom end face of the first guide bar and the second guide bar 221, and the top end face of the slide groove 213 is higher than the top end face of the first guide bar and the second guide bar 221, so that the slide groove 213 has a certain amount of space relative to the top of the first guide bar and the top of the second guide bar 221. The canopy 3 is provided with positioning strips 32 at the positions corresponding to the door 211 and the back panel 22. The two ends of the positioning strips 32 are respectively embedded in the space at the top of the slide groove 213 of the different side panels 21. Through the cooperation between the two ends of the positioning strips 32 and the slide groove 213, the canopy can be quickly positioned onto the C-shaped panel assembly 2. The two ends of the positioning strips 32 are provided with second locking mechanisms 33, and the slide groove 213 is provided with positioning holes 2132 at the positions corresponding to the second locking mechanisms 33. The second locking mechanism 33 includes a positioning pin 331 and a compression spring 332. The end of the positioning strip 32 has an inner groove 321, within which a positioning pin 331 is positioned to engage with the positioning hole 2132. A compression spring 332 is positioned between the bottom of the inner groove 321 and the positioning pin 331. The top of the slide groove 213 has a chamfer 2131 corresponding to the position of the positioning pin 331. During the process of inserting both ends of the positioning strip 32 into the slide groove 213, the positioning pin 331 contacts the chamfer 2131 and gradually applies pressure to the compression spring 332, causing the positioning pin 331 to retract into the inner groove 321. After the positioning strip 32 is fully inserted into the slide groove 213, the positioning pin 331 aligns with the empty hole. At this point, the compression spring 332 has a tendency to elastically recover, and the positioning pin 331 inserts into the positioning hole 2132. Through the engagement of the positioning pin 331 and the positioning hole 2132, the canopy is fixedly connected to the C-shaped panel assembly 2. If the roof needs to be removed, simply apply external force to the positioning pin 331 and retract the positioning pin 331 into the inner groove 321 to remove the roof from above the C-shaped plate assembly 2. The roof 3 has multiple symmetrically distributed lifting rings 31, and threaded holes for engaging the lifting rings 31. When the ring network box needs to be hoisted as a whole, screw the lifting rings 31 into the threaded holes, and then connect the lifting rings 31 to the hoisting equipment using slings.
[0033] The side plate 21 has multiple evenly distributed through holes. These through holes improve the air permeability and heat dissipation of the side plate 21, while reducing its weight, making it lightweight. Users can easily move, install, or disassemble the side plate 21 using the handle 215 on it. The rear plate 22 is made of profiled sheet, with multiple ribs 224 along its thickness. The profiled sheet is cold-formed to enhance its mechanical properties, reducing weight while maintaining strength. It is lightweight, has high bending and compressive strength, ensuring the stability and deformation resistance of the ring main unit structure, and facilitating overall lightweight design, aligning with the trend of lightweighting in modern power equipment. The gaps between the multiple ribs 224 are filled with thermal insulation material (such as polyurethane foam, rock wool, aerogel, etc.). This insulation material protects the rear plate 22 from external high or low temperature environments (such as direct sunlight in summer or cold in winter), preventing drastic temperature fluctuations of the internal components of the ring main unit, making it particularly suitable for extreme climates. At the same time, it reduces condensation caused by temperature differences between the inside and outside of the enclosure, preventing water vapor from damaging electrical components. The rear plate 22 is provided with multiple evenly distributed reinforcing ribs 223. The reinforcing ribs 223 can effectively improve the deformation resistance of the rear plate 22 without increasing its thickness, making the rear plate 22 lighter and improving the convenience of maintaining the ring main unit.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By cooperating with the annular groove and the second guide bar 221, side plates 21 are installed on both sides of the rear plate 22, and the grooved C-shaped plate assembly 2 is assembled therefrom. Then, the C-shaped plate assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1 by the first locking mechanism 13, and the canopy is fixed to the top of the C-shaped plate assembly 2 by the second locking mechanism 33, thus quickly completing the overall assembly of the ring network box.
[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
