[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0027] Example 1: A ring main unit for metering and preventing electricity theft, see [link / reference] Figures 1 to 8The system includes a mechanical locking mechanism, comprising insertion holes 38 at the upper and lower ends of the inner cavity of the cabinet body 1 and a circular hole 3 on the cabinet door 11. The cabinet door 11 is hinged to the cabinet body 1. A drive shaft 312 rotatably passes through the inner cavity of the circular hole 3. A gear 37 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft 312, and a connecting plate 311 is fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft 312 away from the gear 37. Unlocking holes 310 are provided on both sides of the connecting plate 311. Both sides of the wheel 37 are engaged with racks 34, which correspond to the insertion holes 38. A reset mechanism is provided between one end of the rack 34 and the cabinet door 11. An electronic locking mechanism includes an electromagnet 33 fixedly connected to the cabinet door 11 and an iron block 313 fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the cabinet body 1. The iron block 313 corresponds to the electromagnet 33. The end of the connecting plate 311 away from the drive shaft 312 is rotatably connected to a fixed plate 31 via a bearing. Both ends of the fixed plate 31 are fixedly connected to connecting blocks 39, and the other end of the connecting blocks 39 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular hole 3. A card reader 32 is embedded in the fixed plate 31. The card reader 32 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 33 via a control module through a wire. The size of the fixed plate 31 is larger than the size of the connecting plate 311, and the front end of the fixed plate 31 is on the same horizontal plane as the front end of the cabinet body 1. An unlocking mechanism is used to open the mechanical locking mechanism and the electronic locking mechanism. The unlocking mechanism includes an unlocking cylinder 4. The unlocking cylinder 4 has notches 41 at both ends, and adjustment grooves 46 are provided on both sides of one end of the inner cavity of the unlocking cylinder 4. An adjustment plate 45 is slidably connected in the adjustment groove 46. A first spring 47 is fixedly connected between one end of the inner cavity of the adjustment groove 46 and the adjustment plate 45. Insert rods 42 are slidably inserted through both ends of the inner cavity of the unlocking cylinder 4, and one end of the insert rod 42 is placed in the adjustment groove 46 and fixedly connected to the adjustment plate 45. An IC card 44 is provided in the middle of the inner cavity of the unlocking cylinder 4.

[0028] During operation, when the cabinet door 11 is closed, the rack 34 precisely inserts into the socket 38 to complete the primary mechanical locking. Simultaneously, the electromagnet 33 and the iron block 313 are in close contact, generating a strong magnetic attraction after being energized to form a secondary electronic lock. This dual locking mechanism significantly enhances the anti-theft performance of the cabinet door 11. To open the cabinet door 11, the special unlocking cylinder 4 must be inserted into the round hole 3 and fitted with the fixing plate 31. Under the elastic force of the first spring 47, the insertion rod 42 automatically positions itself and inserts into the unlocking hole 310. Rotating the unlocking cylinder 4 drives the gear 37 via the drive shaft 312, causing the rack 34 to smoothly exit the socket 38. At this time, the IC card 44 contacts the card reader 32, and the card reader 32 reads the card information (such as card number and encrypted data). The card reader 32 sends the read data to the control module for authorization verification (the card reader 32 reads the IC card 44 and then cuts off the power, which is a well-known technology and will not be elaborated on here). After successful verification, the control module cuts off the power supply to the electromagnet 33 (the electromagnet 33 loses its magnetism after being de-energized), thereby enabling the cabinet door 11 to be opened. Through the combination of the double locking mechanism, the hidden unlocking mechanism and the specific unlocking mechanism, the anti-theft effect of the cabinet 1 is improved and the risk of electricity theft from the ring network cabinet is reduced. When the cabinet door 11 is closed, a door magnetic sensor is installed on the electromagnet 33. When the door magnetic sensor detects that the cabinet door 11 is closed, the control module is powered on again, the electromagnet 33 regains its magnetism, and attracts the iron block 313, thus locking the cabinet door 11.

[0029] For details, see Figure 3 The reset mechanism includes a connecting plate 35 fixedly connected to the cabinet door 11. A second spring 36 is fixedly connected between the connecting plate 35 and the rack 34. The elastic force of the second spring 36 is greater than the weight of the rack 34. When the rotating unlocking cylinder 4 drives the gear 37 through the drive shaft 312 to smoothly exit the insertion hole 38, the rack 34 compresses the second spring 36. After unlocking, the elastic force of the second spring 36 pushes the rack 34 to reset, which facilitates the relocking of the cabinet door 11 after it has been opened.

[0030] Further, see Figure 8 A limiting groove 5 is provided at one end of the cabinet door 11 near the rack 34. A limiting block 51 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 5, and the limiting block 51 is fixedly connected to the rack 34. Both the limiting groove 5 and the limiting block 51 are T-shaped. The limiting block 51 guides the movement within the limiting groove 5, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the rack 34 and thus improving the stability of the rack 34 locking the cabinet door 11.

[0031] It is worth noting that, see Figure 5 and Figure 6The inner wall of the unlocking cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to a limiting cylinder 43. A third spring 48 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the limiting cylinder 43, and the IC card 44 is slidably connected inside the limiting cylinder 43. The bottom of the third spring 48 is fixedly connected to the IC card 44. When the unlocking cylinder 4 is inserted into the round hole 3, the third spring 48 can buffer the force of the IC card 44 contacting the fixed plate 31, effectively protecting the IC card 44. Furthermore, the elastic force of the third spring 48 pushes the IC card 44 into precise contact with the card reader 32, ensuring that the card reader 32 can read the information of the IC card 44.

[0032] It is worth noting that, see Figure 6 The top of the adjustment plate 45 extends through the outside of the adjustment groove 46, making it easy for personnel to manually adjust the insertion rod 42 to disengage from the lock hole 310 and remove the unlocking cylinder 4 from the round hole 3.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cabinet body 1 on both sides of the circular hole 3 is provided with a baffle 2, and a baffle 21 is provided between the two baffles 2. The baffle 21 is slidably inserted into the slot at the opposite end of the two baffles 2. The baffle 21 can block the circular hole 3 to prevent a large amount of dust and impurities from accumulating in the circular hole 3 and affecting the insertion of the unlocking cylinder 4.

[0034] In addition, all components designed in this utility model are general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. Those skilled in the art can fully implement them, so there is no need to elaborate. The content protected by this utility model does not involve improvements to the internal structure and method.

Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
