Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of arc light protection technology, specifically to an arc light protection device applied in a power distribution cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Distribution cabinets (boxes) are divided into power distribution cabinets (boxes), lighting distribution cabinets (boxes), and metering cabinets (boxes). They are the final stage equipment of the power distribution system. When a fault occurs in the internal interval of the switch equipment in the distribution cabinet, the resulting electric arc will cause the pressure and temperature in the switch equipment to increase rapidly. Furthermore, the excessively high temperature at the center of the electric arc can lead to the melting and vaporization of copper busbars and aluminum busbars, the melting of cables, or the ignition of cable sheaths.
[0003] Therefore, in the existing technology, arc flash detectors are installed in the power distribution cabinet and are connected to existing arc flash protection devices via optical fibers for protection. However, in actual use, the arc flash protection device needs to be connected to multiple optical fibers at the same time. A large number of optical fibers piled up near the arc flash protection device are prone to entanglement. This causes other optical fibers to move when one set of optical fibers is repaired, resulting in loosening of the connection between the optical fibers and the arc flash protection device. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the arc flash protection device for use in the power distribution cabinet to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an arc light protection device applied in a power distribution cabinet, including a mounting frame 1, a mounting plate 2 fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting frame 1, a cover plate 3 provided on the top of the mounting frame 1, a connecting plug 4 fixedly connected to the front of the mounting frame 1, an optical fiber body 5 inserted into the connecting plug 4, an arc light probe 6 fixedly connected to the front of the optical fiber body 5, a winding roller 7 rotatably connected inside the mounting frame 1, a limiting collection mechanism 8 provided inside the mounting frame 1, and an auxiliary installation mechanism 9 provided outside the arc light probe 6.
[0028] The limiting and collecting mechanism 8 includes a limiting component 81 and a collecting component 82. The limiting component 81 is disposed inside the mounting frame 1, and the collecting component 82 is disposed inside the mounting frame 1.
[0029] Furthermore, the limiting component 81 includes a limiting platform 811, which is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 1. A button 812 is slidably connected inside the limiting platform 811, and a first spring 816 is fixedly connected inside the limiting platform 811. An elastic clamping ring 814 is fixedly connected to the end of the first spring 816 away from the limiting platform 811. A clamping block 815 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the elastic clamping ring 814, and a sliding rod 813 is fixedly connected to the end of the elastic clamping ring 814 near the first spring 816. This facilitates the adjustment of the opening and closing degree of the clamping block 815, thereby meeting the requirements for contact clamping of optical fiber cables of different sizes and avoiding accidents such as loosening during use.
[0030] Furthermore, the button 812 contacts the elastic clamping ring 814, and the limiting platform 811 and the corresponding position of the slide bar 813 are provided with grooves, and the slide bar 813 is slidably connected inside the groove, which makes the limiting process more stable.
[0031] Furthermore, the collecting component 82 includes a first fixing block 821, which is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 1. A rotating frame 822 is rotatably connected inside the first fixing block 821. A limiting roller 823 is rotatably connected inside the rotating frame 822. A second fixing block 824 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating frame 822. A first rotating block 825 is rotatably connected inside the second fixing block 824. A third fixing block 826 is fixedly connected inside the mounting frame 1. A second rotating block 827 is rotatably connected inside the third fixing block 826. A damping rod 828 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating block 827 near the first rotating block 825. A second spring 829 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating block 827 near the first rotating block 825. This ensures that the limiting roller 823 is always in contact with the optical fiber cable, preventing accidental loosening.
[0032] Furthermore, the damping rod 828 is fixedly connected to the first rotating block 825, and the second spring 829 is fixedly connected to the first rotating block 825, which facilitates a more stable winding process. Example
[0033] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 6-7 Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, the auxiliary installation mechanism 9 includes a connecting platform 91, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the arc probe 6. A bidirectional threaded rod 92 is rotatably connected inside the connecting platform 91. A limiting rod 95 is fixedly connected inside the connecting platform 91. A movable block 93 is slidably connected outside the limiting rod 95. An installation block 94 is fixedly connected outside the movable block 93, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the installation block 94, thereby meeting the adaptation and installation requirements of different reserved installation hole positions of the power distribution cabinet.
[0034] Furthermore, the movable block 93 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 92, and the connecting platform 91 has a groove at the corresponding position of the movable block 93, and the movable block 93 is slidably connected inside the groove, which makes the installation process more stable.
[0035] In actual operation, when this device is used, the relevant external moving parts can be sealed and dustproofed using sealing rings, etc. First, the staff moves the device to the designated installation position on the distribution cabinet and uses the mounting bolts to complete the installation between the mounting plate 2 and the distribution cabinet. The staff then adjusts according to the reserved mounting holes on the distribution cabinet. The staff uses tools such as a hex wrench to rotate the bidirectional threaded rod 92. The rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 92, in conjunction with the limit rod 95, causes the moving block 93 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the mounting block 94. With the installation bolts, the arc probe 6 is installed between the distribution cabinet. After installation, the fiber optic body 5 is plugged into the connector 4. Correspondingly, the mounting frame 1 limits the excess fiber optic cables connected to external equipment. The staff presses button 812, which is set to... 2. Movement causes the elastic clamping ring 814 to move, cooperating with the clamping block 815, causing the slide rod 813 to slide inside the limiting platform 811, thereby adjusting the opening and closing degree of the clamping block 815. After the optical fiber cable is passed through the clamping block 815, the button 812 is released. Under the action of the first spring 816, the clamping block 815 contacts and clamps the optical fiber cable. After clamping, the excess optical fiber cable is wound around the winding roller 7. The movement of the optical fiber cable causes the limiting roller 823 to move. The movement of the limiting roller 823 causes the rotating frame 822 to rotate inside the first fixed block 821. Cooperating with the second fixed block 824, the first rotating block 825 moves. Cooperating with the damping rod 828 and the second spring 829, the second rotating block 827 rotates inside the third fixed block 826, ensuring that the limiting roller 823 and the optical fiber cable are always in contact and limited, avoiding accidental loosening.
