Interlocking structure to emergency rod 6 includes the fluting being located on longitudinal emergency rod 6, and is located on the lateral emergency rod 5
Hook plate, when emergency machine latch mechanism is in lockup state, the hook plate is hooked on the fluting, realize both interlocking;
When needing to enable emergency machine latch mechanism, the first emergent tapered end A is rotated first, makes lateral emergency rod 5 that lateral displacement occur to solve
Except the locking to longitudinal emergency rod 6, then by rotating the second emergent tapered end B, longitudinal emergency rod 6 is set to move up so that mechanical lock 11 is opened
Lock;
1 side of main driving plate is equipped with the first microswitch 2 and the second fine motion for limiting its upper and lower movement travel
Switch 3;The side of the longitudinal direction emergency rod 6 is equipped with the third microswitch 7 for limiting its Top Runby.
The cabinet door latch mechanism of the present invention, operation principle and operating process are as follows:
1, mechanism is opened
When being connected to unlocking instruction, motor work, motor driving driver plate 18 rotates while driving 1 downlink of main driving plate, main drive
Comparative example lever 4 applies torque during 1 downlink of movable plate so that first lever sliding slot of the ratio lever 4 along 1 lower part of main driving plate
1-1 is moved to the left(With reference to figure 1), the ratio lever 4 of sliding drives the follower lever 12 of lower part to move up, the lock of 12 lower part of follower lever
Catching groove mouth 12-4 pulls the lock shaft 11-1 of mechanical lock 11 during follower plate 12 moves up, so that mechanical lock 11 is upper
Lock 25 and lower lock 26 are disengaged from, and after lock is detached from up and down, the lock shaft 9# on slide plate 20 is detached from release from lock, at this time
It can be opened and closed hand from peripheral operation door and turn round 27, while rotation door opening and closing hand turns round 27, turn round the hand that axis 27-1 is connected with hand and turn round plectrum 21
Also it rotates therewith, pushes slide plate 20 to slide to the left, at the same time, the upper bolt assembly on slide plate 20 moves down, and lower bolt assembly moves up, side
Bolt assembly is moved to left with slide plate, and upper bolt head, lower bolt head and side bolt head are withdrawn in cabinet door 19, and mechanism is opened.
2, mechanism closes
When shutting, electric machine assembly drives main 1 uplink of driving plate, the main driving plate 1 of uplink to drive the ratio lever 4 of its underpart
It moves right(With reference to figure 1), the ratio lever 4 that moves to right drives follower lever 12 to move down, the lock notch of 12 lower part of follower lever
12-4 returns rotate clockwise an opening and closing hand and turn round 27 at this time, and hand is turned round plectrum 21 and rotated clockwise, and slide plate 20 is pushed to move right,
During slide plate 20 moves back, the lower lock 26 of lock shaft 9# promotions engages locking with upper lock 25, and 20 right cunning of slideway is simultaneously in drive
Bolt assembly moves up, lower bolt assembly is moved down and moved to right with side bolt assembly so that the bolt head of each component stretches into the bolt head bore of cabinet door 19, complete
At mechanism locking.
3, emergency opening
When emergency opening, it is inserted and rotated the key of the first emergent tapered end A outside cabinet door 19, is laterally answered when twisting key
The side slip to the right of anxious bar 5(Based on the outside of cabinet door)So that the interlocking structure between lateral emergency rod 5 and longitudinal emergency rod 6
It opens, is inserted into and rotates the key of the second emergent tapered end B at this time, longitudinal emergency rod 6 moves up twisting key simultaneously, longitudinal
Axis hole 6-4 on emergency rod 6 pulls the lock shaft 11-1 of mechanical lock 11, opens mechanical lock, at this time upper lock 25 and lower lock 26
Be detached from, discharge the lock shaft 9# on slide plate 20, rotation door opening and closing hand turns round 27, with hand turn round the hands that are connected of axis 27-1 turn round plectrum 21 also with
Rotation, push slide plate 20 to move, the upper bolt assembly being connected with slide plate 20 moves down, and lower bolt assembly moves up, the bolt on each component
Head is withdrawn, and side bolt assembly is moved together with slide plate, and side bolt head is withdrawn, and completes mechanism emergency opening.
4, emergency shutdown
When emergency shutdown cabinet door mechanism, it is inserted and rotated the key of the second emergent tapered end B, when key turns, the second tapered end
Plectrum 10 pulls longitudinal emergency rod 6 to move down, and closes mechanical lock 11, is then inserted into and rotates the key of the first emergent tapered end A, key
Lateral emergency rod 5 is set to be moved to the left when spoon rotation(Based on the outside of cabinet door), longitudinal emergency rod 6 is resisted, is allowed to and laterally answers
It is in interlocking state between anxious bar 6, the axis hole 6-4 on longitudinal emergency rod 6 and the lock shaft 11-1 of mechanical lock 11 are detached from this time, rotation
Door opening and closing hand turns round 27, and hand turns round the rotation of plectrum 21 and slide plate 20 is driven to move back, while the lock shaft 9# movements on slide plate 20 push lower lock
26 25 engages with upper lock, and the sliding of slide plate 20 drives above that bolt assembly moves up, lower bolt assembly moves down simultaneously, each component bolt head stretching cabinet
Outdoors, mechanism emergency shutdown.
