Therefore, in a state where the string-like member 73 is not pulled by the pulling operation portion 74, the locking engagement portion 71 is rotated toward the second engaged portion 52 side by the urging force of the urging member 72d. Further, when the string-like member 73 is pulled and locked by the pulling operation portion 74, the locking engagement portion 71 rotates and separates from the second engaged portion 52.

  In addition, the traction mechanism 80 includes a shaft portion 81 disposed across the opening / closing body width direction on the opening direction side of the opening / closing body 10, reel portions 82 and 82 supported on both ends of the shaft portion 81, and A pulling member 83 wound or unwound by the reel portion 82 and pulling sources 84 and 84 for urging the shaft portion 81 so as to wind the pulling member 83 by the reel portion 82 are provided (see FIG. 1). ).

  The shaft portion 81 is disposed in the width direction of the opening / closing body so as to be positioned on the upper extension line of the opening / closing body 10 in the fully closed state, and each of both end sides thereof is a stationary portion (for example, the opening / closing device 1). It is rotatably supported via a bearing bracket or the like with respect to a housing or the like to be installed.

  Each reel portion 82 is a substantially cylindrical member capable of winding and unwinding the pulling member 83, and its central portion is fixed to one end side of the shaft portion 81.

  The pulling member 83 is a metal wire, and its end on the opening / closing body opening direction side is fastened to the outer peripheral surface of the reel section 82, and its end on the opening / closing body closing direction side is It is fixed to the movable member 62.

  According to the illustrated example, the traction source 84 is a spring that winds the shaft portion 81 in the winding direction by fixing one end side to the shaft portion 81 and fixing the other end side to the immovable portion. . As another example of the traction source 84, a mechanism in which the shaft portion 81 is rotated in the winding rotation direction by the weight of the weight member, and the shaft portion 81 is rotated in the winding rotation direction by the power of an electric motor or the like. It is also possible to use a mechanism or the like.

Next, the characteristic operation and effect of the switchgear 1 having the above-described configuration will be described in detail.
As an initial state, the locking engagement portion 71 of the locking mechanism 70 is not engaged with the second engaged portion 52.

  During the normal opening / closing operation and storage operation of the opening / closing body 10, the movable member 62 of the closing prevention device 60 is pulled by the pulling member 83 against its own weight, so that the disengageable position (see FIGS. 7 and 7). 9). Therefore, the opening / closing body 10 performs an opening / closing operation and a storage operation without receiving a braking force from the closing prevention device 60.

The traction member 83 may be damaged by troubles on the traction mechanism 80 side, such as cutting of the traction member 83, idle rotation of the reel portion 82 that winds the traction member 83, idle rotation of the traction source 84 that urges the reel portion 82 in the winding direction. When the tension is lowered, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, the movable member 62 is rotated indoors (counterclockwise in the illustrated example) by its own weight.
Then, the braking engagement portion 62b of the movable member 62 becomes an engageable position facing the protruding piece portion 51b of the first engaged portion 51 in the vertical direction. For this reason, even when the opening / closing body 10 is suddenly lowered, the braking engagement portion 62b is in contact with the first engaged portion 51, so that the rapid lowering of the opening / closing body 10 can be stopped.
More specifically, at the time of the contact, the contact surface 62b1 of the braking engagement portion 62b and the projection 62b2 are simultaneously engaged with the receiving surface 51b1 of the first engaged portion 51 in a hook shape. The receiving surface 51b1 and the protrusion 51b2 of the first engaged portion 51 are also engaged with the contact surface 62b1 of the brake engaging portion 62b in a hook shape. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the braking engagement portion 62b from being bounced and disengaged due to an impact or reaction during the contact.

  In addition, during the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing body 10, the brake engaging portion 62 b and the first engaged portion 51 are arranged such that the lateral end of the opening / closing body 10, the guide rail 30, the support member 40, and the airtight means 90. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an object or the like from being caught between these engagement portions or an object or the like from contacting the braking engagement portion 62b or the first engaged portion 51.

  And since the brake engaging part 62b and the 1st to-be-engaged part 51 are arrange | positioned in the space S as mentioned above, and it is set as the structure without an engagement / disengagement part outside the space S, the width direction end of the opening / closing body 10 In this part, the number of members protruding in the opening / closing body thickness direction can be reduced, and as a result, the structure around the guide rail 30 can be made relatively thin.

Further, when the opening / closing body 10 is not locked in the fully closed position, the distal end side portion (specifically, part of the third piece 71c and the second piece 71b) of the locking engagement portion 71 is in the space S. Has been placed.
When the string-like member 73 is loosened by operating the pulling operation portion 74 at the fully closed position of the opening / closing body 10, the locking engagement portion 71 is rotated indoors in the space S by the biasing member 72d. Thus, the second engaged portion 52 is engaged in a concavo-convex shape, and the opening / closing body 10 is locked so as not to be opened and closed.
Since the locking engagement portion 71 and the second engaged portion 52 are surrounded by the lateral width end of the opening / closing body 10, the guide rail 30, the support member 40, and the airtight means 90, It is possible to prevent an object or the like from being caught in the object, or an object or the like from coming into contact with the locking engagement portion 71 or the second engaged portion 52.

Even when the string-like member 73 is loosened by operating the pulling operation portion 74 at the fully open position of the opening / closing body 10, the locking engagement portion 71 is rotated by the biasing member 72d, and the second engaged portion 52 is engaged in a concavo-convex shape, and the opening / closing body 10 is locked so as not to be opened and closed (see FIGS. 11 to 13).
Therefore, in this state, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing body 10 in the fully open position from being accidentally dropped or touching the storage rail portion 32 back and forth.
Further, in this fully open position, the support member 40 and the like are not positioned around the locking engagement portion 71 and the second engaged portion 52, but since these are in a relatively high position, there are objects etc. This can prevent contact.

  The locking state at the fully closed position and the fully open position is such that if the string-like member 73 is pulled by the operation of the pulling operation portion 74, the locking engagement portion 71 rotates in the reverse direction, and the second engaged state. Since it comes off from the joint portion 52, it can be released.

  In the fully opened position, the position of the pulling operation unit 74 is high, and there is a possibility that the operation with respect to the pulling operation unit 74 may be difficult. Therefore, if necessary, the pulling operation unit 74 may be extended by a member extending downward. You may add the mechanism etc. to operate.

  Next, another example of the switchgear according to this embodiment will be described. In addition, since the opening / closing apparatus 2 shown below is obtained by changing a part of the opening / closing apparatus 1, the same reference numerals are given to portions that are substantially the same as those of the opening / closing apparatus 1, and redundant detailed description is omitted.

  The opening / closing device 2 shown in FIGS. 1, 14 to 20 replaces the opening / closing device 1 by replacing the first engaged portion 51 with the first engaged portion 51 ′ and closing the closing prevention device 60. The prevention device 60 ′ is replaced.

The first engaged portion 51 ′ is a portion that is engaged and disengaged by the braking engagement portion 62 b ′ of the closing prevention device 60 ′. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the support member 40. A flat fixed piece 51a ′ fixed to the inner surface, and a protruding piece connected to the fixed piece 51a ′ and protruding from the fixed piece 51a ′ toward the opening / closing body opening direction. The portion 51b 'is formed and has a substantially L-shaped cross section according to the illustrated example.
A plurality of the first engaged portions 51 ′ are provided at intervals in the vertical direction, and each of them is fixed to the cover piece portion 42 of the support piece portion 41 (see FIG. 14).

  As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the projecting piece 51 b ′ is a plate-like portion disposed substantially in parallel with the opening / closing body thickness direction, and has a braking engagement at the end on the opening / closing body opening direction side. It has a receiving surface 51b1 ′ for receiving the portion 62b ′ and a protrusion 51b2 ′ protruding from the receiving surface 51b1 ′ in the opening / closing body opening direction, and is formed in a substantially hook shape. The projecting piece 51b ′ is configured so that the protrusion 51b2 ′ is covered with a hook from the lower side with respect to the braking engagement portion 62b ′ when the braking engagement portion 62b ′ contacts the receiving surface 51b1 ′. Engage (see FIG. 20).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, the closing prevention device 60 ′ includes a fixing member 61 ′ fixed to the opening / closing body 10 side, and a braking engagement portion 62 b ′ supported by the fixing member 61 ′. And a movable member 62 ′ integrally therewith.

  The fixed member 61 ′ is a member fixed to the surface of the opening / closing body 10 (the surface on the outdoor side, see FIG. 14) and fixed, and the shaft portion 62d ′ of the movable member 62 is connected to the shaft portion 62d ′ via the bearing portion 61a ′. It is pivotably supported.

The movable member 62 ′ has an engageable position (see FIG. 20) at which the brake engaging portion 62b ′ can be engaged with the first engaged portion 51 ′, and the first engaged portion 51. The traction member 83 of the traction mechanism 80 can be rotated from an unengageable position (see FIG. 19) where it is impossible to engage the braking engagement portion 62b with respect to the opening / closing body opening direction side. When the tension of the pulling member 83 is lost, it is configured to rotate to the engageable position side by its own weight.
More specifically, the movable member 62 ′ includes a movable main body 62a ′ that is rotatably supported by a fixed member 61 ′ via a shaft 62d ′, and a side surface of the movable main body 62a ′. And a braking engagement portion 62b ′ protruding into the space S along the lateral width direction of the opening / closing body.

  The movable main body 62a ′ is pivotally supported with respect to the fixed member 61 ′ via a shaft portion 62d ′, and its pivot point (center of the shaft portion 62d ′) is set to one side in the opening / closing body thickness direction (see FIG. 19). According to this, it is arranged at a position biased to the outdoors (left side). The movable main body 62a ′ is pulled by the pulling member 83 on the other side in the opening / closing body thickness direction from the pivot point (indoor (right) side according to FIG. 19) and closer to the lower end. The to-be-towed part 62c is projected.

  The braking engagement portion 62b 'is fixed to the side surface of the movable main body portion 62a' by a fixing means such as welding, and protrudes from the side surface in the lateral direction of the opening / closing body. According to the illustrated example, the brake engaging portion 62b ′ is formed in a substantially wedge shape (see FIG. 15) having a narrow width toward the lower side, and a first engaged portion 51 ′ is formed at the lower end portion thereof. And a protrusion 62b2 ′ protruding from the corresponding contact surface 62b1 ′ in the opening / closing body closing direction, and the protruding end side is formed in a substantially hook shape. The braking engagement portion 62b ′ has a protrusion 62b2 ′ from above with respect to the receiving surface 51b1 ′ when the abutting surface 62b1 ′ contacts the receiving surface 51b1 ′ of the first engaged portion 51 ′.

  Therefore, according to the opening / closing device 2 shown in FIGS. 1, 14 to 20, during the normal opening / closing operation and storage operation of the opening / closing body 10, the movable member 62 of the closing prevention device 60 ′ resists its own weight. By being pulled by the pulling member 83, the engagement position is maintained (see FIG. 19).

The traction member 83 may be damaged by troubles on the traction mechanism 80 side such as cutting of the traction member 83, idle rotation of the reel portion 82 that winds up the traction member 83, idle rotation of the traction source 84 that urges the reel portion 82 in the winding direction. When the tension is lowered, as shown in FIG. 20, the movable member 62 ′ is rotated to the outdoor side (clockwise in the illustrated example) by its own weight.
Then, the braking engagement portion 62b ′ of the movable member 62 ′ becomes an engageable position facing the protruding piece portion 51b ′ of the first engaged portion 51 ′. For this reason, even when the opening / closing body 10 is suddenly lowered, the braking engagement portion 62b ′ abuts on the first engaged portion 51 ′, and the rapid lowering of the opening / closing body 10 can be stopped.
More specifically, the contact surface 62b1 'and the protrusion 62b2' of the braking engagement portion 62b 'are hooked to the receiving surface 51b1' of the first engaged portion 51 'during the contact. At the same time, the receiving surface 51b1 ′ and the projection 51b2 ′ of the first engaged portion 51 ′ are engaged with the contact surface 62b1 ′ of the brake engaging portion 62b ′ in a hook shape. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the braking engagement portion 62b 'from being bounced and not engaged by an impact or reaction during the contact.

  Further, during the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing body 10, the braking engagement portion 62 b ′ and the first engaged portion 51 ′ are surrounded by the lateral width end of the opening / closing body 10, the guide rail 30, and the support member 40. Since the object is located in the space S, the object or the like may be caught between these engagement points, or the object or the like may come into contact with the braking engagement part 62b ′ or the first engaged part 51 ′. Can be prevented.

  Since the braking engagement portion 62b ′ and the first engaged portion 51 ′ are arranged in the space S as described above and there is no engagement / disengagement portion outside the space S, the width of the opening / closing body 10 is reduced. At the end of the direction, the number of members protruding in the opening / closing body thickness direction can be reduced, and as a result, the structure around the guide rail 30 can be made relatively thin.

  In the example shown in FIG. 14, the airtight means 90 is omitted. However, the airtight means 90 is added in the same manner as the opening / closing device 1, and the object is added to the braking engagement portion 62b ′ and the first engaged portion 51 ′. Etc. may be more effectively prevented from contacting.
