Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underground electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a charging cabinet for small underground tools. Background Technology
[0002] Fire risk is one of the greatest safety risks in underground mines, and once it occurs, it can easily cause catastrophic accidents with mass casualties. Underground fires in metal mines are primarily caused by external ignition sources, with common causes including open flames, cable fires, electric arcs from electrical equipment, and blasting operations. Currently, there are many types of small tools that require charging underground, mainly including miners' lamps, law enforcement recorders for blasting, battery-powered tools, and portable gas detectors. During routine safety inspections, it has been found that construction workers commonly engage in improper charging practices: most simply place the batteries and equipment directly on the table in the underground rest chamber and connect them to a power source via an extension cord or PZ30 distribution box. This method easily leads to increased energy loss and generates a large amount of heat, which can easily cause a fire if it accumulates. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a charging cabinet for small underground tools, which solves the problem of non-standard wiring entanglement in existing charging methods for small underground tools, which can easily lead to fire accidents due to heat accumulation.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A charging cabinet for small underground tools includes a cabinet body, a junction box installed on the upper part of the cabinet body, a number of sockets installed on the junction box, and a number of storage slots opened in the lower part of the cabinet body. A cover plate is installed on the opening of the storage slot, and an insulating rubber sheet is provided at the rear end of the cover plate on the opening of the storage slot. A number of wire passage holes are opened on the insulating rubber sheet.
[0005] Furthermore, a shelf is provided below the socket on the cabinet, and the shelf is divided into several storage areas by partitions.
[0006] Furthermore, the top of the cabinet is hinged with a baffle for concealing the junction box.
[0007] Furthermore, the number of sockets, storage slots, cable holes, and storage areas are all the same, and their locations correspond to each other.
[0008] Furthermore, the cover plate is a pull-out cover plate.
[0009] Furthermore, a handle is provided on the top surface of the cover plate.
[0010] Furthermore, an insulating pad is provided at the bottom of the cabinet.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: each tool corresponds to an independent charging unit, and the charging cable is connected to the tool in the storage slot through the corresponding wire hole, which completely solves the problem of wire crossing and tangling. The insulating rubber has several wire holes, which not only allows the charging cable to be threaded in an orderly manner through the wire holes, but also effectively insulates and ensures electrical safety.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0015] A charging cabinet for small underground tools includes a cabinet body 1. The outer side of the cabinet body 1 is coated with anti-rust paint to adapt to the harsh environment of dampness and dust in underground environments. A junction box 8 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the cabinet body 1. The junction box 8 is connected to the underground power supply through a circuit breaker 7, which can realize circuit overload and short circuit protection. Several sockets 6 are evenly installed on the junction box 8. The sockets 6 are smart sockets with automatic power-off when fully charged and power-off when unloaded, which can avoid the risk of overheating caused by long-term charging. The lower part of the cabinet 1 has several storage slots 13 vertically arranged. Each storage slot 13 has a cover plate 2 installed at the slot opening. The cover plate 2 is a pull-out structure. The two sides of the slot opening of the storage slot 13 have sliding grooves that are adapted to the cover plate 2. The cover plate 2 is slidably arranged in the sliding grooves. The top surface of the cover plate 2 is provided with a handle 5 for easy pull-out operation by construction personnel. The rear end of the cover plate 2 at the slot opening of the storage slot 13 is fixedly attached with an insulating rubber sheet 10. Several wire holes 11 are opened on the insulating rubber sheet 10. The diameter of the wire holes 11 is adapted to the diameter of common charging cables, which facilitates wire routing and insulation, and can also isolate external dust and moisture. A shelf 3 is fixedly installed on the cabinet 1 directly below the socket 6. The shelf 3 is evenly divided into several storage areas by vertical partitions 4. Each storage area corresponds vertically to a socket 6 and is used to place the charger of the tools. A baffle 9 is hinged to the top of the cabinet 1 to cover the junction box 8, which can prevent dust from falling into the junction box 8 and affecting the circuit safety. An insulating pad 12 is pasted on the bottom of the cabinet 1 to further improve the overall insulation performance and reduce the risk of electric shock. The number of sockets 6, storage slots 13, wire holes 11, and storage areas are all the same, and the positions of each component correspond one-to-one, ensuring that the charging lines of individual tools are independent and orderly, and avoiding wire crossing and tangling. When in use, the construction worker first opens the cover 2 through the handle 5, places the charger of the tool in the corresponding storage area, and plugs the charger plug into the corresponding socket 6 above; then, the tool to be charged is placed in the storage slot 13, the charging cable is passed through the corresponding wire hole 11 on the insulating rubber 10 and connected to the tool in the storage slot 13, and the cover 2 is closed to complete the charging preparation; during the charging process, the smart socket 6 can automatically cut off the power according to the charging status of the tool, and the circuit breaker 7 monitors the circuit status in real time. If an overload or short circuit occurs, the power will be automatically cut off; when not in use, closing the baffle 9 can prevent dust from falling into the junction box 8 and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0016] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is 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 should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
