Description

Motor Control Panel {MCC, Motor Control Center}

Motor pumps used for air conditioning, water supply and drainage, and motors provided for other purposes are used in public offices, factories, buildings and various facilities.

The present invention relates to an electric panel relating to the electric motor. Usually, such an electric panel is referred to as a motor control board, or MCC (Motor Control Center). The motor control panel distributes the electric power to the electric motor to supply electric power, or protects the electric motor and the related load device by blocking the overcurrent. To this end, the motor is controlled using a circuit using an electromagnetic switch or the like.

In addition, when the electric motor is widely used, the electric motor is controlled by fabricating an electric distribution panel dedicated to the motor in which a plurality of electric motor units are integrated in one cabinet for efficient management and operation.

In the conventional motor control panel (MCC) as a background of the present invention,

An assembled motor control panel is provided, in which the electromagnetic switch circuits for all motors are arranged in a line under one main power supply. Therefore, if only one motor circuit, or any part in the circuit, is malfunctioning or malfunctioning, it is necessary to shut off the power supply for all motors of the facility and also to turn off the power supply until the malfunction, Lt; / RTI >

Accordingly, a drawer-type motor control panel is provided to solve such a problem, and each motor circuit is formed in a separate form called a unit so that a large number of units are assembled and accommodated in a large housing. However, since many cables must be connected between the terminal block and the base plate, wiring is difficult and time consuming.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig.

First, the technical background related to the configuration of the present invention will be described again.

The motor control center (MCC) is a panel made for controlling, protecting and supplying power to motors such as motor pumps.

The internal components include: Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) / No Fuse Breaker (NFB); MC (Magnet Contactor); MPR (Motor Protectiom Relay): OCR (Over Current Relay) / EOCR (Electronic Over Current Relay); CT (Current Transfomer): A-meter: V-meter: Switch, Lamp:

The MCCB (or NFB) is turned off when the leakage current exceeds the rated current at the time of leakage current for the purpose of overload shutdown and device protection.

The MC is a device that turns on / off the load current with an external signal. In this connection, there is an MS (Magnetic Switch), and the MS is a state in which the overload relay is combined, and a signal generated in the overload relay controls the contactor operating coil power.

On the other hand, there is a Select switch for selecting a signal in the local panel or a switch in the Distributed Control System (DCS). According to the selection, a local panel or a distributed control system (DCS ).

Some of the above-described elements may be substituted, added, or omitted.

The following will discuss the motor control panel (MCC) of the present invention.

Fig. 3 shows an example of the operation switch module 2, in which various operation switches 41 (including a push button lamp) for controlling the electric motor are disposed on the operation panel 40 in units of one unit and module. The operation switch 41 is connected to the operation switch module side cable 90c serving as the control wiring 90 and is assembled in the terminal block 120 of the operation switch module side.

4, 7, and 8, the MCCB 10 and the MC 20 are coupled to each other, and the MCC module side cable 50 and the power source The cable 60 is connected to the circuit board 30 or an external power source.

On the upper surface of the MCCB 10, a cut-off switch 11 for interrupting this is formed. On the upper surface of the circuit board 30, an MCC module terminal block 110 for connection with the operation switch module 2 is disposed. The MCCB 10 is a concept including NFB.

The MCC module side terminal block 110 and the operation switch module side terminal block 120 together form a terminal block coupling portion 100.

The MCCB 10 / MC 20 is arranged so that its bottom surface is in contact with the upper surface of the circuit board 30. [ Further, the wiring of the power cable 60 and the cable of the MCC module side 50 is collected in one place by utilizing the circuit board 30. In the case of the power cable 60 wiring, one is drawn out from the MCCB 10 and the other is drawn out from the circuit board 30 to be connected to an external power source. In the case of the MCC module side cable 50, all are connected to the terminal block 110 on the MCC module through the circuit of the circuit board 30.

In this manner, all the MCC module side cables 50 necessary for motor control are gathered at one of the MCC module terminal blocks 110, and are connected or disconnected to the operation switch module side terminal block 120 to be operated. That is, the MCC module side terminal block 110 is bound to the operation terminal module side terminal block 120 for normal operation, or the binding is released to perform troubleshooting and parts replacement.

In connection with the above binding and disassembly, it takes a long time to disassemble and replace a large number of wiring cables at the time of replacing the unit parts, and at this time, an error that the wiring is wrong may occur, , There is a high possibility of device breakage due to erroneous wiring of various cables for control.

However, the MCC module 1 as well as the operation switch module 2 are each formed in the form of one unit, and the MCC module side terminal block 110 and the operation switch module side terminal block 120 If you can bind them together or unlink them as needed,

It is not necessary to disassemble and disconnect the various cable wiring lines at the time of replacing the unit parts, so that the operation can be performed quickly and efficiently. Also, when reconnecting various cables, the probability of error caused by erroneous wiring is low, and the possibility of malfunction and breakage is greatly reduced. In addition, since each component is densely packed and takes the form of one unit unit module, the volume of the entire system can be reduced, so that the utilization space of the installation space is high.

Here, in the case of the MCC module 1, each component such as the MCCB 10, the MC 20, the circuit board 30, and the fixed panel 70 has a fixing groove 81 for coupling with other components, . And the fixing grooves 81 are fastened with the fixing screws 80 so that the whole is bound in the form of one module or unit. In particular, reference is made to Fig.

Looking at the bottom of the circuit board 30 of the example of Fig. A protruding portion 32 formed by a trace that inevitably protrudes due to necessary soldering between the wiring and the circuit 31 from the outside is generated. The protruding portion 32 is formed along the length of the bottom surface of the circuit board 30. The first row row1 is located on the approximately left side and the second row row2 is disposed on the right side . The arrangement of the first and second rows is inevitable in accordance with the optimal arrangement of the respective components such as the MCC module side cable 50 and the MCC module side terminal block 110 attached to the upper surface of the circuit board 30.

6 and 8, the circuit board 30 is seated on the upper surface of the fixed panel 70 and fixed to form a circuit board receiving layer 71 to be received. The circuit board receiving layer 71 is formed by grooving the front surface of the upper surface of the fixing panel 70. The shape of the circuit board 30 corresponds to the shape of the circuit board 30 and has an area capable of accommodating the entire width of the circuit board 30 and a depth corresponding to the thickness of the circuit board 30. The upper surface of the circuit board 30 is placed on the same height surface as the height of the upper surface of the fixed panel 70. The upper surface of the circuit board 30 is covered with the circuit board 30, Therefore, the front side of the bottom of the MCCB 10 / MC 20 is in contact with the upper side of the rear side of the circuit board 30 and the rest of the bottom side, that is, the bottom side of the MCCB 10 / The intermediate side and the rear side come into contact on the same plane on the intermediate side and the rear side of the upper surface of the fixed panel 70. [

4 to 8, the MCCB 10 / MC 20 are arranged in parallel on the rear side of the upper surface of the circuit board 30, and the MCCB 10 / The front side of each bottom surface is brought into contact with the middle and rear sides of the upper surface of the circuit board 30. At this time, it is not fixed separately. Therefore, in the assembled state, the number of the fixing grooves and the number of the fixing screws can be reduced to reduce the cost, and the convenience of the manufacturing and disassembling operation and the speedy processing can be achieved. The circuit board 30 and the MCCB 10 / MC 20 are fixed to the fixed panel 70 and indirectly coupled to each other. Therefore, the circuit board 30 and the MCCB 10 / MC 20 need not be separately connected.

4, 7, and 8, the front side bottom surface of the MCCB 10 / MC 20 is pressurized in a downward direction pressing the upper surface of the rear side of the circuit board 30, The rear side of the circuit board 30 is naturally fixed, so that only the front side of the circuit board 30 may be fixed to the fixed panel 70.

5, the protruding portion 32 is inevitably generated on the bottom surface of the circuit board 30 and the protruding portion 32 is formed on the left side (or right side) of the bottom surface of the circuit board 30 The first row and the second row on the right side (or left side). Therefore, in order to accommodate the protrusions 32 generated in the first row and the second row form on the upper surface of the fixed panel 70, Grooves 72, which are arranged in the second row, should be formed. The grooves 72 are formed so that grooves are formed further downward from the surface of the circuit board receiving layer 71. The point where the first row and the second row meet is a zigzag shape bent twice by changing the direction as viewed from the plane.

The MCCB 10 / MC 20 can be directly fixed to the fixed panel 70, so that the fixing force is good and the fixing between the components can be prevented. It is possible to use only a minimum of fixing grooves and fixing screws and to dissipate only the minimum necessary grooves in the fixing panel 70 to create the groove 72 for receiving the circuit board receiving layer 71 and the projections, And at the same time, it is possible to reduce effort and cost in production.

FIG. 9 illustrates a case of a motor control panel in which a casing is formed to store the MCC module 1 and the operation switch module 2 of the present invention in a small case c10. Here, the MCC module 1 is fixed to and housed in the case body c11, and the operation switch module 2 is fixed (attached) to the case door c12. The same applies to the case where the vehicle is installed in the vehicle control panel door (or the motor control panel door) of the housing case of a large maneuvering platform (or motor control panel) as in the example of Fig.

9A shows a state in which the case body c11 is closed by the case door c12 and the inside is closed. Fig. 9B shows the case body c11 and the case door c12 The case hinge c13 formed on one side of the case door c12 is opened by opening the case door c12 with the hinge axis. The case c14 can be configured to facilitate opening or closing by gripping with the hand by the hand on the side opposite to the case hinge c14.

An example of mounting (attaching, securing) the operation switch module 2 to the example driving door pa or the example case door c12 of Fig. 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 10 to 17 see.

The operation panel door pa or the case door c12 is provided to the operation panel 40 and the operation panel 40 is provided with a panel member 40a provided with a plate made of metal or synthetic resin, And a switch hole 42b / 40b formed by perforating and perforating a circular or polygonal hole on the surface. The perforation of the hole is accomplished through a known technique such as punching, drilling, or cutting.

12 and 13, the position of the switch hole 42b / 40b is formed by the switch hole marking 42 shown in FIG. Work can be done. At this time, the switch hole 42b formed in the switch hole marking 42 and the switch hole 40b formed in the panel member 40a are simultaneously bored.

More specifically, the switch hole marking 42 is provided as a sticker member 42a, and a perforation mark 42c is displayed on the front surface of the perforation mark 42c. And is made to cope with it. The operation information (info) corresponding to the operation switch 41 such as 'manual / automatic, operation, stop' is inputted to the switch hole marking 42 It is also displayed. The back surface of the switch hole marking 42 is coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive (or adhesive) 42d so as to be attached to the front surface of the panel member 40a. In this case, for convenience of use, the back surface 42e of the switch hole marking 42 to which the adhesive is applied may be coated with a backing paper 42e. The switch hole marking 42 may be immediately attached to the surface of the panel member 40a after the backing paper is torn off at the time of fabrication (or installation).

The conventional duct p3 in the example of FIG. 1B is replaced by an operation switch support 43 of the present invention in the form of FIGS. 10, 11, 14 and 15. The operation switch support base (43)

14, a support-side fastening hole 43b is formed on the plane so that the switch / button lamp 41b and the fastening male thread 41c of the operation switch 41 are fastened to the fastening- It can be inserted and inserted vertically. In the form of the side surface, as shown in an enlarged example on the right side of FIG. 15, both sides of the cross section are bent to take a form of 'c' in which three sides are closed. This is referred to as a support bend portion 43c.

The left and right sides of the operation switch 41 are in contact with the end edges of the support bend portion 43c, respectively, so that their positions can be fixed so as not to turn right and left.

In the control wiring 90,

The operation switch wirings 90b may be disposed in an inner storage space of the support bend portion 43c so that the operation switch wirings 90b may be arranged and fixed so as to be exposed to the outside. For example, as shown in Fig. 9B, the operation switch wiring 90b exposed to the outside can be housed in the accommodating space of the support bend portion 43c, as shown in Fig. 15, and neatly arranged.

The operation switch wiring 90b is connected to the operation switch terminal 90a and connected to the operation switch module side cable 90c. At this time, the operation switch terminal block 90a is configured such that the upper surfaces of the both ends of the operation switch terminal block 90a are attached to and fixed to the lowermost end surfaces 43c 'of the support frame bending portions 43c.

The operation switch 41 and the control wiring 90 are coupled to the operation switch support 43 through the same method so that the operation switch 41 and the control wiring 90 are provided in the form of a single assembled cartridge, it is not necessary to perform the wiring operation according to p3. Therefore, in the field, it is possible to prepare the assembled package, the unit type support assembly (asy), and quickly assemble it with other components.

The assembled support assembly asy can be simply coupled to the operation panel 40 without using any separate bolts or engaging iron pieces,

The switch / button lamp 41b and the fastening male thread 41c of the operation switch 41 are directly inserted into the switch holes 42b / 40b by vertically inserting them as shown in Figs. 15 to 17A. Then, as shown in Fig. 17, the fastening female thread 41a is coupled to the fastening male thread 41c by spin bonding. The fastening female screw 41a is vertically pierced so that the upper end thereof is exposed to the outside after passing through the switch / button lamp 41b. On the inner circumference of the fastening female screw 41a, And threaded portions corresponding to the threads of the threaded portion 41c are formed and can be fastened to each other. The constructor can simply fasten the fastening female screw 41a to fasten the operation panel 40 and the support assembly asy. According to such a configuration and method, disassembly and replacement for inspection and repair at the time of malfunction and malfunction can be performed easily and easily, and reassembly is also easy.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16, when the fastening female screw 41a is fastened by spinning, the operating switch 41 can also spin together with the rotation of the screw. Particularly, in the case where the width of each of the operation switches 41 is different from the width of the left and right widths of the operation switches 41 and can not strongly contact the end edge of the support bend portion 43c, it can not be fastened.

In order to prevent this, referring again to the example of FIG. 14, at least one groove cutout portion 41c1 is formed by cutting the groove perpendicularly to the male screw 41c. In the example of the drawing, the outer circumferential arc of the fastening male thread 41c is divided into four equal parts to form a total of four. The protruding engaging portions 43b1 corresponding to the recessed engaging portions 41c1 of the fastening male thread 41c are formed on the support-side fastening holes 43b. In the example shown in the drawing, the inner arc of the support base side fastening hole 43b is divided into four equal parts to form a total of four protruding engagement portions 43b1. The projecting engagement portion 43b1 is engaged with the recessed engagement portion 41c1 so that the operation switch 41 is moved along the spim rotation of the engagement female screw 41a as shown in FIG. Spim rotation is disabled. Therefore, the fastening can be performed with ease.

The installation operation of the operation switch module 2 through such a process according to the present invention can be performed very quickly, accurately, conveniently, and easily as compared with the conventional operation.
