Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of low-voltage switchgear technology, and in particular to a unit positioning device and a movable drawer unit assembly for a movable drawer unit. Background Technology

[0002] The movable drawer unit of the low-voltage switchgear includes a fixed part and a movable part. The movable part is connected to the main circuit by moving its position. After the unit is installed in the unit chamber, the unit locking mechanism on both sides of the fixed part of the unit locks the unit in the unit chamber through the unit locking plate 16. However, in order to ensure that the unit locking plate 16 can be lifted and unlocked normally, there is a 1mm front and rear mating gap between the unit locking plate 16 on both sides of the fixed part and the locking hole 17 on the unit chamber shelf.

[0003] Due to the gap between the front and rear parts, the main circuit insertion resistance generated during the process of pushing the movable part into the connection position will cause the unit to move forward by 1.0mm. This causes the end face of the locking hole 17 on the pressing plate 16 of the unit to have a slight notch and burr due to the large pressing force. As the number of operations increases, the end face will have a slight notch and burr, which will further increase the gap between the front and rear parts.

[0004] At the same time, the gap between the front and rear will also reduce the connection depth of the main circuit connector by 1mm when the unit enters the connection position.

[0005] In addition, when the movable part exits the connection position, the fixed part will move backward and produce a loud noise (i.e., a bouncing sound). The production of this noise is related to poor unit advancement connection and large amount of backward movement of the fixed part. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the front and rear fit gap between the unit locking plate and the locking hole on the unit compartment shelf of the existing movable drawer unit is too large, resulting in a large amount of movement and abnormal noise when the unit is removed from the connection position.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a unit positioning device for a movable drawer unit, including a locking member, a driving member, and positioning holes on the unit compartment shelf. The locking member is slidably mounted on the fixed part of the movable drawer unit. The rear part of the driving member is fixed to the movable part of the movable drawer unit, which is used to make the driving member move back and forth with the movable part. There is a sliding groove type driving structure between the driving member and the locking member, which is used to drive the locking member to slide up and down when the driving member moves back and forth with the movable part. During the process of the movable part moving from the separated position to the connected position, the driving member drives the locking member to insert downward into the positioning hole through the sliding groove type driving structure, which is used to position the movable drawer unit. The sliding groove type driving mechanism includes a driving groove and a driving pin embedded in the driving groove. The sliding groove type driving mechanism generates a driving effect through the relative movement of the driving groove and the driving pin.

[0008] In some embodiments, optionally, the drive groove of the grooving drive structure is located on the drive member, and the drive pin is disposed on the locking member.

[0009] In some embodiments, optionally, the locking member is provided with a slide plate, the driving slide is located on the slide plate, and the driving pin is provided on the driving member.

[0010] In some embodiments, optionally, the locking element is already inserted into the positioning hole when the main circuit connector of the movable portion begins to be plugged in.

[0011] In some embodiments, optionally, the locking member is slidably mounted on the fixed portion of the movable drawer unit through a lower guide hole on the push-locking base plate of the fixed portion and an upper guide hole on the cover plate covering the push-locking base plate, with the locking member passing through the upper guide hole and the lower guide hole.

[0012] In some embodiments, optionally, the unit positioning device of the movable drawer unit further includes an auxiliary guide bracket, which is mounted on the cover plate and has an auxiliary guide hole. The upper end of the locking member passes through the auxiliary guide hole for auxiliary guidance of the locking member above the cover plate.

[0013] In some embodiments, optionally, the front section of the drive slide is a straight section, and the drive pin has entered the straight section when the main circuit connector of the movable part begins to be plugged in, and the locking member has been inserted into the positioning hole.

[0014] In some embodiments, optionally, a guide sleeve is also included, which is mounted on the propulsion interlocking base plate of the fixed portion, and the locking member and the driving member are embedded in the guide structure of the guide sleeve for movement and guidance.

[0015] In some embodiments, the locking element is optionally positioned near the propulsion mechanism of the fixed portion and located on the right side of the propulsion mechanism.

[0016] A movable drawer unit assembly includes a movable drawer unit and a unit compartment, and also includes a unit positioning device for the movable drawer unit.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it reduces the forward and backward movement of the unit when it enters and exits the connection position, which can actually be reduced to 0.2mm; the unit's advance stroke and the connection depth of the main circuit connector are effectively and correctly adjusted; the squeezing force between the unit locking plate and the locking hole is reduced; the locking component helps to bear the force; the force point is uniform; and the abnormal noise (i.e., the jumping sound) is also reduced to a normal noise level.

[0034] like Figures 1-14 As shown, a unit positioning device for a movable drawer unit includes a locking member 1, a driving member 2, and a positioning hole 4 on the unit compartment shelf 3. The locking member 1 is slidably mounted on the fixed part 5 of the movable drawer unit. The rear part of the driving member 2 is fixed to the movable part 6 of the movable drawer unit, which is used to move the driving member 2 back and forth with the movable part 6. There is a sliding groove type driving structure between the driving member 2 and the locking member 1, which is used to drive the locking member 1 to slide up and down when the driving member 2 moves back and forth with the movable part 6. During the process of the movable part 6 moving from the separated position to the connected position, the driving member 2 drives the locking member 1 to insert downward into the positioning hole 4 through the sliding groove type driving structure, which is used to position the movable drawer unit. The sliding groove type driving mechanism includes a driving groove 7 and a driving pin 8 embedded in the driving groove 7. The sliding groove type driving mechanism generates a driving action through the relative movement of the driving groove 7 and the driving pin 8.

[0035] Locking component 1 is a rod-shaped component, driving component 2 is a plate component, and the fitting clearance between locking component 1 and positioning hole 4 is designed to be 0.1mm, thereby reducing the forward and backward movement of the corresponding unit to 0.2mm.

[0036] In the sliding drive structure, the drive slide 7 is located on the drive component 2, and the drive pin 8 is located on the locking component 1. Alternatively, the locking component 1 may have a slide plate, with the drive slide 7 located on the slide plate and the drive pin 8 located on the drive component 2.

[0037] The locking member 1 is slidably mounted on the fixed part 5 of the movable drawer unit through the lower guide hole on the push-lock base plate 9 of the fixed part 5 and the upper guide hole on the cover plate 10 covering the push-lock base plate 9. The locking member 1 passes through the upper guide hole and the lower guide hole.

[0038] The unit positioning device of the movable drawer unit also includes an auxiliary guide bracket 11 and a guide sleeve 12. The auxiliary guide bracket 11 is mounted on the cover plate 10 and has an auxiliary guide hole. The upper end of the locking member 1 passes through the auxiliary guide hole and is used to provide auxiliary guidance for the locking member 1 above the cover plate 10. The guide sleeve 12 is mounted on the push-lock base plate 9 of the fixed part 5. Both the locking member 1 and the driving member 2 are embedded in the guide structure of the guide sleeve 12 for movement guidance.

[0039] This solution requires that the locking element 1 be inserted into the positioning hole 4 when the main circuit connector of the movable part 6 is first plugged in.

[0040] Meanwhile, because the locking member 1, which is inserted into the positioning hole 4, experiences significant force in the front-to-back direction when the main circuit connector begins to be plugged in, the front section of the drive slide 7 is designed to be a straight section. When the main circuit connector of the movable part 6 begins to be plugged in, the drive pin 8 has already entered this straight section, and the locking member 1 has already been inserted into the positioning hole 4. This design prevents the locking member 1 from undergoing downward insertion under significant force.

[0041] Therefore, in this embodiment, as Figures 7-9 As shown, the drive slide 7 is a three-section slide, consisting of a first straight section 7-1, a second straight section 7-3, and an inclined section 7-2 from front to back. The first straight section 7-1 and the second straight section 7-3 are arranged vertically, with the first straight section 7-1 located below the second straight section 7-3. The inclined section 7-2 is located between the first straight section 7-1 and the second straight section 7-3, connecting them continuously. When the movable part 6 is advanced to the test position, the drive pin 8 is in the middle position of the inclined section 7-2. At this time, the drive pin 8 has driven the locking member 1 to insert into the positioning hole 4, thus positioning the fixed part 5.

[0042] To ensure uniform force distribution on the locking member 1, the locking member 1 is positioned close to the pushing mechanism of the fixed part 5. Since there is no mounting position on the left side of the pushing mechanism of the fixed part 5 in this embodiment, the locking member 1 is positioned close to the right side of the pushing mechanism. The pushing mechanism includes a pushing screw 13 and a screw nut. The pushing screw 13 of the pushing mechanism is mounted on the fixed part, and the screw nut is mounted on the screw nut plate 15 of the movable part 6. The screw nut plate 15 is part of the base plate of the movable part. The movable part includes a base plate, which is divided into front and rear parts: the front screw nut plate 15 and the rear base plate. The screw nut plate 15 is used for mounting the screw nut.

[0043] like Figures 11-14As shown, a movable drawer unit assembly includes a movable drawer unit, a unit chamber 14, and a unit positioning device for the movable drawer unit.

[0044] The movable drawer unit includes a fixed part 5 and a movable part 6. The fixed part 5 includes a push-in interlock base plate 9 and slide brackets 18 on both sides of the push-in interlock base plate 9. A cover plate 10 is installed on the push-in interlock base plate 9. The fixed part 5 is connected to the movable part 6 in a horizontally movable manner through the slide brackets 18. The movable part 6 includes a bottom plate, which is divided into two parts: a front threaded mother plate 15 and a rear bottom plate. The fixed part 5 and the threaded mother plate 15 constitute the unit assembly of the movable drawer unit.

[0045] The three-position operation process of the movable drawer unit in this embodiment is as follows:

[0046] Separated position: The movable drawer unit is inserted into the unit chamber 14, and the locking head of the unit locking plate 16 of the unit locking mechanism is inserted into the locking hole 17 on the unit chamber shelf 3, locking the movable drawer unit. The movable part 6 of the movable drawer unit is in the separated position, and the locking element 1 is in the initial high position, such as... Figure 7 As shown.

[0047] Separation to the test position: The movable part 6 is moved by cranking the push screw 13 with the handle. When the movable part 6 is advanced to the test position, the locking member 1, driven by the drive member 2, has already inserted into the positioning hole 4. Figure 8 As shown.

[0048] Test to the connection position: Move the movable part 6 to the connection position by cranking the push screw 13 with the handle. During the advancement process, when the main circuit connector of the movable part 6 begins to connect, the drive pin 8 has already entered the first straight section 7-1, and the locking piece 1 no longer inserts downwards. Figure 9 As shown.

[0049] Pull out the movable drawer unit: Reverse the above steps and move the movable part 6 to the separation position. When the separation position is reached, the locking member 1 has been pulled out of the positioning hole 4. Then, by lifting the handle of the unit locking mechanism, the unit locking plate 16 is lifted, and the locking head of the unit locking plate 16 disengages from the locking hole 17 of the unit chamber 14, unlocking the movable drawer unit. The movable drawer unit can then be pulled out of the unit chamber 14.
