[0005] In order to enable the functional module handles on the modular gate pump box to automatically flip and reset, reducing the collision between the handles and the control box door, this utility model provides a modular gate pump control box.

[0006] This utility model provides a modular gate pump control box, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A modular gate pump control box includes a control box housing, a control module mounted on the control box housing, and a handle mounted on the control module. The handle is provided with a hinge ball, and the control module is provided with a hinge rod passing through the hinge ball. The control module has a mounting slot for mounting the hinge ball, the hinge rod, and the handle. The control module is provided with a reset mechanism for flipping and resetting the handle, and a spring-loaded component for moving and resetting the handle.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, after the staff installs the control module using the handle, the hinge ball on the handle moves and resets on the hinge rod via the spring mechanism.

[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 This application discloses a modular gate pump control box, including a control box housing 1, a control module 2, and a handle 3. The control module 2 is installed in the control box housing 1 and is used to control external gate pump devices. Different control modules 2 control different gate pump devices. Multiple control modules 2 can be placed in a single control box housing 1. Handles 3 are symmetrically installed on the control modules 2. The handles 3 are used to facilitate the operator to lift and replace the control modules 2 so as to install the control modules 2 into the control box housing 1.

[0041] refer to Figure 2 A hinge rod 5 for mounting a handle 3 is installed on the control module 2. A hinge ball 4 is integrally formed on the handle 3. The hinge ball 4 is used to be installed through the hinge rod 5 to rotate and fix the handle 3 on the control module 2. An installation slot 6 is provided on the control module 2 for mounting the hinge rod 5, the hinge ball 4, and the handle 3. A gripping slot 30 is provided on the control module 2 for removing the handle 3. The handle 3 is flipped through the gripping slot 30 to lift the control module 2.

[0042] In order for the articulated ball 4 to return to its original position, a spring-loaded component 8 is installed on the control module 2. The spring-loaded component 8 includes a compression spring 9 installed on the side of the control module 2 away from the ground. The control module 2 has a slide groove 10 for mounting the compression spring 9 and for sliding the articulated ball 4. The slide groove 10 is interconnected with the mounting groove 6.

[0043] The compression spring 9 is sleeved in the hinge rod 5, with one side of the compression spring 9 fixed to the hinge ball 4 and the other side of the compression spring 9 fixed to the wall of the mounting groove 6. The hinge rod 5 is installed in the mounting groove 6, and the hinge rod 5 passes through the hinge ball 4 and the compression spring 9 in sequence in the mounting groove 6. The handle 3 is fixed in the mounting groove 6 by passing through the hinge ball 4.

[0044] refer to Figure 3 A reset mechanism 7 is installed in the hinge ball 4 to allow the handle 3 to return to the mounting groove 6. The hinge ball 4 has an assembly groove 14 for installing the reset mechanism 7. The reset mechanism 7 includes a torsion spring 11, a moving block 12, and a U-shaped fixing member 15. The torsion spring 11 is installed between the hinge ball 4 and the hinge rod 5, and is used to drive the hinge ball 4 to reset. The moving block 12 is used to drive the torsion spring 11 to move with the hinge ball 4. The moving block 12 is installed in the hinge rod 5, and the hinge rod 5 has a sliding groove 13 for the moving block 12 to engage and move. The U-shaped fixing member 15 is used to fix the torsion spring 11 in the hinge ball 4. The hinge ball 4 has an insertion groove 16 for one side of the U-shaped fixing member 15 to be inserted and fixed. An integrally formed mounting ring 17 is formed on the side away from the insertion slot 16. One side of the torsion spring 11 is fixed to the side of the moving block 12 away from the hinge rod 5. The other side of the torsion spring 11 is installed in the mounting ring 17 of the U-shaped fastener 15 and fixed in the hinge ball 4 by the U-shaped fastener 15. The two connecting parts of the U-shaped fastener 15 are flexible. During installation, one side is installed on the torsion spring through the mounting ring 17, and the other side is pulled to install the other end into the insertion slot 16.

[0045] refer to Figure 4A rotating rod 22 is provided on the control module 2. A flip plate 21 is installed in the middle of the rotating rod 22. The flip plate 21 is asymmetrically installed on the rotating rod 22. A rotator 23 for flipping the flip plate 21 is installed on the side of the rotating rod 22 closest to the ground. A first magnet 18 and a third magnet 20 are installed on both sides of the flip plate 21. A second magnet 19 is embedded in the handle 3, which attracts the first magnet 18 and repels the third magnet 20.

[0046] When the handle 3 is fixed in the mounting groove 6, the control module 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 31 for mounting the rotating rod 22, the rotator 23, the first magnet 18, the third magnet 20 and the flip plate 21. The snap-fit ​​groove 31 is connected to the mounting groove 6. The rotating rod 22 is equipped with a mounting block 24 for protecting the rotating rod 22. The mounting block 24 is bolted in the snap-fit ​​groove 31.

[0047] When the handle 3 is flipped, the second magnet 19 and the third magnet 20 on the handle 3 repel each other to reduce the pressure of flipping the handle 3. By rotating the flip plate 21 under the action of the rotator 23, the first magnet 18 is aligned with the second magnet 19 so that they attract each other to improve the stability of the handle 3.

[0048] refer to Figure 5 The rotator 23 includes a coil spring 25, a coil spring housing 26, and a coil spring cover 27. The coil spring 25 is used to drive the rotating rod 22 to rotate. The coil spring housing 26 is used to restrict the circumferential movement of the coil spring 25. The coil spring cover 27 is used to restrict the axial movement of the coil spring 25 and to allow the rotating rod 22 to pass through the coil spring cover 27 to install the coil spring 25.

[0049] The coil spring 25 has an integrally formed inner fixing block 28 and an outer fixing block 29. The inner fixing block 28 passes through the rotating rod 22, and the outer fixing block 29 is fixedly installed in the coil spring shell 26. After the rotating rod 22 rotates, the coil spring 25 rotates and generates a rewinding force. After it stops rotating, the rotating rod 22 is reset.

[0050] Working process: When it is necessary to replace the control module 2, the staff first opens the control cabinet door of the control box shell 1. After opening, the handle 3 of the control module 2 to be replaced is turned out of the mounting slot 6 through the gripping slot 30. After the handle 3 is turned out, the second magnet 19 on the handle 3 moves away from the mounting slot 6. When the handle 3 is pulled out, the distance between the second magnet 19 and the third magnet 20 increases, the magnetic force weakens, and the coil spring 25 releases potential energy to drive the rotating rod 22 to rotate, so that the flip plate 21 rotates and interchanges the positions of the first magnet 18 and the third magnet 20.

[0051] After turning the handle 3, the control module 2 is pulled out of the control box housing 1. After being pulled out, the control module 2 moves downward under the influence of gravity and presses the compression spring 9. The staff places the control module 2 to one side and replaces it with a new control module 2. The handle 3 is removed in the same way as above, and the control module 2 is installed into the mounting slot 6 of the control box housing 1.

[0052] When the worker removes their hand from handle 2, the spring 9 returns to its original position, causing the hinge ball 4 to return to its original position. After returning to its original position, the torsion spring 11 in the hinge ball 4 drives the hinge ball 4 to rotate towards the mounting groove 6. At this time, the third magnet 20 in the mounting groove 6 corresponds to the second magnet 19. When the handle 3 flips downward under the action of the torsion spring 11, the second magnet 19 gradually approaches the flipping plate 21, first generating a repulsive force with the third magnet 20 to buffer the falling speed. When the handle 3 approaches the bottom of the mounting groove 6, the repulsive force pushes the flipping plate 21 to overcome the resistance of the coil spring 25 and rotate, so that the first magnet 18 aligns with the second magnet 19 and attracts it, thereby fixing the handle 2 in the mounting groove 6.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
