[0024] like Figure 1-4 This is a schematic diagram of a low-voltage switchgear with a limiting function according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the low-voltage switchgear with a limiting function includes a cabinet body 1. The cabinet body 1 has an internal mounting cavity 2 for installing electrical components. At the front end of the cabinet body 1, opposite to the opening of the mounting cavity 2, a door body 3 is fixedly connected by a hinge. The door body 3 can rotate around the hinge axis to achieve opening and closing. A limiting device 4 is fixedly installed at the edge of the opening of the mounting cavity 2. The core function of this limiting device 4 is to effectively limit the door body 3 in the closed state, preventing it from shaking or accidentally opening, while also providing a buffer. The limiting device 4 specifically includes: a mounting plate 41 as a base, which is firmly fixedly connected to the upper edge of the opening of the mounting cavity 2 by bolts; and a guide block 42 fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting plate 41. The guide block 42 has a through guide hole 421 inside, which is a circular or rectangular through hole used to guide the linear movement of the moving parts; the support block 43 is fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting plate 41 and is located in front of the guide block 42, closer to the door body 3. The surface of the support block 43 has a sliding opening 431, which is usually an elongated through hole or groove; the limiting component 44 is movably connected between the guide block 42 and the support block 43, and its front end directly contacts the inner wall surface of the closed door body 3 to provide a limiting force.
[0025] In this embodiment, the limiting component 44 consists of a movable rod 441, a spring 443, a contact component 442, and a limiting ring 444. The main body of the movable rod 441 has its rear end movably inserted into the guide hole 421 of the guide block 42, allowing it to slide axially back and forth within the guide hole 421. The contact component 442 is fixedly connected to the front end of the movable rod 441. The contact component 442 includes a sliding plate 4421, a contact wheel 4422, and a nut (4425). The sliding plate 4421 is a plate-like structure fixedly connected to the front end surface of the movable rod 441. The size of the sliding plate 4421 allows it to be movably embedded in the sliding opening 431 of the support block 43 and slide back and forth within it. The contact wheel 4422 is a rotatable roller used to contact the door body 3 to reduce friction. The contact wheel 4422 is mounted to the sliding plate 4421 via a threaded rod 4424 at its bottom. Specifically, a through hole 4423 is provided on the surface of the sliding plate 4421. A threaded rod 4424 extends downward from the bottom of the contact wheel 4422, passes through the through hole 4423, and is tightened at the end of the threaded rod 4424 through the through hole 4423 by a nut 4425, thus firmly fixing the contact wheel 4422 to the sliding plate 4421. By tightening the nut 4425, the height position of the contact wheel 4422 relative to the sliding plate 4421 can be finely adjusted to accommodate minor unevenness of the inner wall of the door body 3 or to adjust the contact preload. The limiting ring 444 is fixedly connected to the movable rod 441 and is located at the connection between the movable rod 441 and the sliding plate 4421. Spring 443: sleeved on the surface of the movable rod 441, located between the guide block 42 and the limiting ring 444. One end of the spring 443 resists the surface of the guide block 42 facing the door body 3, and the other end resists the surface of the limiting ring 444 facing the guide block 42. Therefore, the spring 443 is always in a compressed state, generating a preload force that pushes the limiting ring 444, along with the entire movable rod 441 and the contact assembly 442, to move towards the door body 3.
[0026] Working principle
[0027] Door closing: When the operator closes the door 3, the inner wall of the door 3 gradually approaches and eventually contacts the contact wheel 4422 at the front end of the limit assembly 44.
[0028] Contact and Limitation: As the door 3 continues to close to its final position, the inner wall of the door 3 pushes the contact wheel 4422, along with the sliding plate 4421 and the movable rod 441, to slide backward away from the door body along the guide hole 421. This causes the spring 443 fitted on the movable rod 441 to be further compressed.
[0029] Spring force: The compressed spring 443 generates a counterforce, which pushes the movable rod 441 forward through the limiting ring 444, thereby causing the contact wheel 4422 to press tightly against the inner wall surface of the closed door 3 with a constant preload. This pressure effectively limits the door 3, preventing it from shaking or accidentally opening due to vibration or airflow.
[0030] Buffering effect: The elasticity of spring 443 also serves as a buffer, absorbing some of the impact energy when the door 3 closes, reducing noise and component wear.
[0031] Door opening: When it is necessary to open door 3, the operator applies a pulling force to overcome the preload of spring 443, the inner wall of door 3 disengages from contact wheel 4422, and the movable rod 441 moves forward slightly to reset under the action of spring 443, so that door 3 can be opened smoothly.
[0032] The above description provides a more detailed explanation of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present invention.
