Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic switching protection devices, and specifically to an automatic switching protection device with better applicability. Background Technology
[0002] The automatic transfer switch (ATS) is a type of protection device. Its core component uses a high-performance microcontroller, comprising a CPU module, relay module, AC power supply module, and human-machine interface module. It boasts advantages such as strong anti-interference capabilities, stability, reliability, and ease of use. Its LCD digital display and buttons on the ATS panel make operation simple and convenient, and it can also be remotely controlled via an RS485 communication interface.
[0003] A known authorized patent with application number CN202222119259.0 discloses a backup automatic transfer protection device. Its background art addresses the problem that "in actual use, it was found that the operation panel of the backup automatic transfer device lacks a protective mechanism, resulting in poor waterproof and dustproof performance, and the operation panel is easily accidentally touched, leading to misoperation and affecting the use of the backup automatic transfer device." To address this problem, the technical solution is as follows: "It includes a backup automatic transfer device body, a protective shell slidably mounted on the backup automatic transfer device body, and a limiting mechanism between the protective shell and the backup automatic transfer device body; two connecting seats are fixedly mounted on the front side of the backup automatic transfer device body, and a sliding mechanism is provided between the protective shell and the connecting seats."
[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, the following problems were found in the above technical solutions: When using the existing technical solutions, it is inconvenient to buffer and distribute the pressure of pressing the operation panel. When pressing the buttons on the operation panel, the user's fingers usually come into direct contact with the buttons, which can easily cause the buttons to be subjected to concentrated or excessive force. Long-term uneven pressing force or excessive pressing force can easily damage the buttons, thereby reducing the service life of the automatic switching device. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model proposes a more applicable automatic switching protection device, which solves the problem in related technologies of buffering and distributing the impact force of pressing the operation panel.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A backup automatic transfer protection device with better applicability includes a backup automatic transfer device body, a protection component and an installation component. The protection component is located on the front side of the backup automatic transfer device body, and the installation component is located on the rear side of the backup automatic transfer device body. The protective components include a protective mechanism, a key buffer mechanism, and a fixing mechanism; The protective mechanism is located on the surface of the automatic switching device body, the button buffer mechanism is located on the protective mechanism, and the fixing mechanism is located on the protective mechanism. These mechanisms are used to close or open the protective mechanism to protect the automatic switching device body.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the protective mechanism includes a fixed frame, a protective shell, multiple springs, multiple dampers, and a transparent cover; The fixed frame is fixedly installed on the surface of the automatic switching device body, the protective shell is sealed and fitted onto the surface of the automatic switching device body, a plurality of springs are fixedly connected between the left and right sides of the fixed frame and the protective shell, a plurality of dampers are fixedly installed between the upper and lower sides of the fixed frame and the protective shell, and the transparent cover is movably installed on the protective shell.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the button buffer mechanism includes multiple sleeves, a limiting groove, a movable rod, a pressing block, a pressing rubber head, a limiting block, and a second spring.
[0009] Multiple sleeves are installed through the transparent cover. The limiting groove is formed on the surface of the sleeve. The movable rod is slidably connected inside the sleeve. The pressing block is fixedly connected to one end of the movable rod. The pressing rubber head is fixedly connected to the other end of the movable rod. The limiting block is fixedly installed on the surface of the movable rod and engages with the limiting groove. The spring is sleeved on the surface of the sleeve.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the fixing mechanism includes a sealing strip and a sealing groove; The sealing strip is fixedly installed on one side of the transparent cover, and the sealing groove is opened on one side of the protective shell. The sealing strip and the sealing groove are engaged with each other.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the mounting assembly includes a moisture-proof board, a mounting plate, and mounting holes; The moisture-proof board is fixedly installed on the rear side of the automatic start-up device body, the mounting plate is fixedly installed on one side of the moisture-proof board, and the mounting holes are opened at the four corners of the mounting plate.
[0012] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By pressing down the pressing block, the movable rod moves, causing the movable rod to bring the pressing rubber head into contact with the button. This allows for indirect contact between the user and the button. Simultaneously, the pressing force is buffered by two springs, and the pressing rubber head ensures full contact with the button, resulting in even force distribution. The pressing rubber head also provides secondary buffering of the pressing force, thus achieving both buffering and even pressure distribution. This avoids excessive force or concentrated force that could damage the button from direct pressing, effectively extending the lifespan of the automatic switching device. When not in operation, pulling the pressing block moves the movable rod and the pressing rubber head, and rotating the pressing block engages the limiting block and limiting groove to fix the movable rod, preventing accidental button activation and improving safety.

[0015] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0016] Example 1 Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 The present invention provides a backup automatic switch protection device with better applicability, including a backup automatic switch device body 100 and a protection component 200, wherein the protection component 200 is disposed on the front side of the backup automatic switch device body 100. It should be noted that the automatic switching device body 100 includes multiple connector plugs so that the automatic switching device body 100 can be connected according to different types of connectors, thereby improving applicability. This part is prior art known in the art and will not be described in detail here. The protection component 200 includes a protection mechanism 201, a button buffer mechanism 202, and a fixing mechanism 203. Specifically, the protection mechanism 201 is disposed on the surface of the automatic switching device body 100, the button buffer mechanism 202 is disposed on the protection mechanism 201, and the fixing mechanism 203 is disposed on the protection mechanism 201. It is used to close or open the protection mechanism 201 to protect the automatic switching device body 100.
[0017] Specifically, the protective mechanism 201 includes a fixed frame 201a, a protective shell 201b, multiple springs 201c, multiple dampers 201d, and a transparent cover 201e; The fixed frame 201a is fixedly installed on the surface of the automatic switching device body 100, the protective shell 201b is sealed and fitted onto the surface of the automatic switching device body 100, multiple springs 201c are fixedly connected between the left and right sides of the fixed frame 201a and the protective shell 201b, multiple dampers 201d are fixedly installed between the upper and lower sides of the fixed frame 201a and the protective shell 201b, and the transparent cover 201e is movably installed on the protective shell 201b.
[0018] Specifically, the button buffer mechanism 202 includes multiple sleeves 202a, limiting grooves 202b, movable rods 202c, pressing blocks 202d, pressing rubber heads 202e, limiting blocks 202f, and springs 202g.
[0019] Multiple sleeves 202a are installed through the transparent cover 201e. A limiting groove 202b is formed on the surface of the sleeve 202a. The movable rod 202c is slidably connected inside the sleeve 202a. The pressing block 202d is fixedly connected to one end of the movable rod 202c. The pressing rubber head 202e is fixedly connected to the other end of the movable rod 202c. The limiting block 202f is fixedly installed on the surface of the movable rod 202c and is engaged with the limiting groove 202b. The second spring 202g is sleeved on the surface of the sleeve 202a. One end of the second spring 202g is connected to the pressing rubber head 202e, and the other end abuts against the transparent cover 201e.
[0020] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 203 includes a sealing strip 203a and a sealing groove 203b; A sealing strip 203a is fixedly installed on one side of a transparent cover 201e, and a sealing groove 203b is formed on one side of a protective shell 201b. The sealing strip 203a and the sealing groove 203b are engaged with each other.
[0021] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: by rotating the transparent cover 201e, the sealing strip 203a and the sealing groove 203b are engaged, and the transparent cover 201e and the protective shell 201b are connected to shield the protective shell 201b, thereby protecting the automatic switching device body 100 inside the protective shell 201b. When the protective shell 201b is impacted, the protective shell 201b can slide against the spring 201c and the damper 201d, thereby buffering the impact force under the action of the spring 201c and the damper 201d, thus preventing impact damage to the automatic switching device body 100, thereby achieving the function of protecting the automatic switching device body 100. After the transparent cover 201e is closed, multiple pressing rubber heads 202e and the operation keys on the automatic switchgear body 100 can be aligned. When the automatic switchgear body 100 is pressed, pressing the corresponding pressing block 202d causes the pressing block 202d to move the movable rod 202c, which in turn moves the pressing rubber heads 202e to contact the keys, allowing indirect contact between the user and the keys. Simultaneously, the pressing rubber heads 202e stretch the second spring 202g, buffering the pressing force. The pressing rubber heads 202e also ensure full contact with the keys, resulting in even force distribution on the keys. Furthermore, the pressing rubber heads 202e provide secondary buffering of the pressing force, thus achieving the effect of buffering and evenly distributing the pressing force, preventing direct pressure on the keys from the user. The design effectively improves the service life of the automatic switching device body 100 by addressing issues such as excessive size and concentrated stress that could easily damage it. When not in operation, pulling the pressing block 202d moves the movable rod 202c and the pressing rubber head 202e, causing the pressing rubber head 202e to compress the spring 202g and sleeve 202a, separating them from the button. This allows the limiting block 202f to slide within the limiting groove 202b. When the pressing rubber head 202e and sleeve 202a contact, rotating the pressing block 202d moves the movable rod 202c, causing the limiting block 202f and limiting groove 202b to engage and fix the movable rod 202c. At this point, the pressing block 202d cannot be pressed to operate the button. Conversely, moving the pressing block 202d releases the fixation of the movable rod 202c for operation. This prevents accidental button presses that could operate the automatic switching device body 100, thus improving safety.
[0022] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment: the rear side of the self-discharge device body 100 is provided with an installation component 300, which includes a moisture-proof plate 301, an installation plate 302 and an installation hole 303. Specifically, the moisture-proof plate 301 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the automatic start-up device body 100, the mounting plate 302 is fixedly installed on one side of the moisture-proof plate 301, and the mounting holes 303 are opened at the four corners of the mounting plate 302.
[0023] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When installing the automatic switchgear body 100, the mounting plate 302 is placed on the mounting surface, and the mounting hole 303 is aligned with the reserved hole on the mounting surface. Then, the fastener is passed through the mounting hole 303 and connected to the reserved hole to fix the automatic switchgear body 100. By setting the moisture-proof plate 301, moisture can be prevented from affecting the installation component 300, which facilitates the installation stability of the automatic switchgear body 100.
[0024] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
