Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, specifically to a power switch locking structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the daily maintenance and repair of numerous devices, ensuring that the equipment is powered off during maintenance is a crucial step in guaranteeing the safety of maintenance personnel and the stability of the equipment. However, existing power-off locking measures have many shortcomings and urgently need improvement.

[0003] On the one hand, simple solutions such as warning signs and plastic cable ties are widely used to remind maintenance personnel to pay attention to the power-off status. However, these solutions have obvious drawbacks. Warning signs are easily overlooked, and plastic cable ties can be easily removed, failing to effectively prevent the power switch from being accidentally operated from a physical perspective. This can lead to maintenance personnel facing the risk of electric shock, and equipment may also be damaged due to accidental power-on.

[0004] On the other hand, while traditional mechanical locks can provide physical locking to a certain extent, they rely on the keyhole of the switch itself. This requires maintenance personnel to have various sizes of locks and corresponding tools. This cumbersome preparation not only increases the complexity of maintenance operations but may also lead to delays due to incompatible tools. Furthermore, the use of traditional mechanical locks suffers from low security and high cost, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern equipment maintenance for efficiency, safety, and economy. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a power switch locking structure to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned technology.

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

[0007] A power switch locking structure includes a lock frame, a lock bar, and a padlock:

[0008] The lock frame includes a first fixing plate, a second fixing plate, and a third fixing plate. The first fixing plate is used to connect to the power equipment box and is located near the power switch. One end of the second fixing plate is fixedly connected to one end of the third fixing plate, and the second fixing plate and the third fixing plate are arranged perpendicularly. Both the second fixing plate and the third fixing plate are perpendicular to the first fixing plate and fixedly connected. A first opening is provided at the connection between the second fixing plate and the third fixing plate, and a second opening is provided on the third fixing plate for the padlock to pass through.

[0009] The locking bar includes a fourth fixing plate, the thickness of which is less than the size of the first opening. The fourth fixing plate has a third opening for the padlock to pass through. The fourth fixing plate is also provided with a fixing member, and the fourth fixing plate is fixedly connected to the second fixing plate or the third fixing plate through the fixing member.

[0010] Optionally, the fastener is a screw that cannot be loosened by hand, and the screw passes through the fourth fixing plate.

[0011] Optionally, the second fixing plate is provided with a first threaded hole corresponding to the hand-tightened screw, and the fourth fixing plate is fixed to the second fixing plate by the hand-tightened screw.

[0012] Optionally, the third fixing plate is provided with a second threaded hole corresponding to the hand-tightened screw, and the fourth fixing plate is fixed to the third fixing plate by the hand-tightened screw;

[0013] When the fourth fixing plate is fixed to the third fixing plate, one end of the fourth fixing plate passes through the first opening and is placed at the power switch to lock the power switch, and at this time the second opening and the third opening are in the same position.

[0014] Optionally, the first fixing plate has at least two fourth openings, and the fourth openings of the first fixing plate are fixedly connected to the power supply equipment box by bolts.

[0015] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This utility model uses a first fixing plate to be directly fixed next to the switch on the power supply equipment. The second and third fixing plates are vertically fixed to the first fixing plate, and the second and third fixing plates are perpendicular to each other. A first opening is made between the second and third fixing plates, through which a fourth fixing plate can pass. Depending on whether it is under maintenance or not, the fourth fixing plate is connected to the second or third fixing plate by a fastener. In the maintenance state, the fourth fixing plate passes through the first opening to limit the power switch. In the non-maintenance state, it is fixed to the second fixing plate, which will not affect the normal use of the power switch, and at the same time prevents the locking rod from moving or being lost.

[0017] The second and third openings are made on the third and fourth fixing plates, respectively, so that the padlock can pass through the two openings and be double-locked with the fixing parts to further lock the fourth fixing plate, so that it can be made unremovable and can be moved at will.

The fourth fixing plate 9 is also provided with a fixing member, and the fourth fixing plate 9 is fixedly connected to the second fixing plate 7 or the third fixing plate 8 through the fixing member.

[0034] The first fixing plate 6 has at least two opposing planar structures. One side is connected to the power supply box 12, and the other side is connected to the second fixing plate 7 and the third fixing plate 8. One end of the second fixing plate 7 and the third fixing plate 8 are connected to form a right-angle structure. One side of the second fixing plate 7 is fixed to the first fixing plate 6. The second fixing plate 7 is located near the power switch 16. The first opening 2 is provided along the two surfaces of the second fixing plate 7 and the third fixing plate 8 that are close to each other. A through hole is opened at the position where the second fixing plate 7 and the third fixing plate 8 are connected to allow the locking rod 14 to pass through the first opening 2 from two directions. The fourth fixing plate 9 of the locking rod 14 includes two parts. One part is a fixing block connected to the second fixing plate 7 or the third fixing plate 8. The other part is a limiting rod structure adapted to the first opening 2. The limiting rod is integrally set with the fixing block, and a fixing member is provided on the fixing block. The fourth fixing plate 9 is fixedly connected to the second fixing plate 7 or the third fixing plate 8 through the fixing member.

[0035] In the maintenance state, the fourth fixing plate 9 is fixed on the third fixing plate 8, and the limiting rod of the fourth fixing plate 9 passes horizontally through the first opening 2 and is placed at the power switch 16 to limit the power switch 16; in the non-maintenance state, the fourth fixing plate 9 is fixed on the second fixing plate 7, and the limiting rod of the fourth fixing plate 9 passes vertically through the first opening 2, without limiting the power switch 16.

[0036] The locking rod 14 can be set in different shapes, as long as one end can pass through the first opening 2 and limit the power switch 16.

[0037] In a further embodiment, a padlock 15 is also provided, and a second opening 3 is provided on the third fixing plate 8, and a third opening 10 is provided on the fixing block of the fourth fixing plate 9. When the fourth fixing plate 9 is fixed on the third fixing plate 8, when the limiting rod passes through the first opening 2 to limit the power switch 16, the second opening 3 corresponds to the third opening 10. The padlock 15 passes through the two openings to hold the fourth fixing plate 9 and the third fixing plate 8 together, so that they cannot be moved arbitrarily and cannot be removed.

[0038] Additionally, it should be noted that the second opening 3 and the third opening 10 can be set with a diameter larger than that of most conventional padlock models 15, so as to be compatible with different padlocks 15. In addition, other types of locks can also be installed in the two openings, as long as they can pass through the two openings and be locked.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, the fastener is a hand-tight screw 11 that cannot be removed, and the hand-tight screw 11 is disposed through the fourth fixing plate 9.

[0040] By setting the fastener to a screw 11 that cannot be loosened by hand, maintenance personnel can complete the change of maintenance status without carrying too many tools.

[0041] In a further specific embodiment, the second fixing plate 7 is provided with a first threaded hole 5 corresponding to the hand-tightened non-detachable screw 11, and the fourth fixing plate 9 is fixed to the second fixing plate 7 by the hand-tightened non-detachable screw 11.

[0042] The third fixing plate 8 is provided with a second threaded hole 4 corresponding to the hand-tightened non-removable screw 11, and the fourth fixing plate 9 is fixed to the third fixing plate 8 by the hand-tightened non-removable screw 11.

[0043] When the fourth fixing plate 9 is fixed to the third fixing plate 8, one end of the fourth fixing plate 9 passes through the first opening and is placed at the power switch 16 to lock the power switch 16. At this time, the second opening 3 and the third opening 10 are in the same position.
