Definitions

• the invention relates to a series of control cabinets lined up in which the vertical frame legs of adjacent control cabinets are connected to one another and the bottom and top sides of the frame frames are closed with base and cover plates and in which the base and cover plates are provided with bends at least on the sides facing one another are, the bevels are set back from the outer sides of the vertical frame legs lying against one another and form a type of groove with end sections of the bevels and / or profile sides of the facing horizontal frame legs.
• the cabinets of this type are also set up individually, with the bevels of the cover plate forming a kind of rain gutter, in particular absorbs rainwater running off the cover plate and drains it from the front and / or rear of the control cabinet.
• the bevels are advantageous when the control cabinet is set up individually, but in a series of control cabinets lined up next to each other they do not close the joint between the adjacent control cabinets, so that water collects here and can penetrate into the interior of the control cabinet.
• the bottom and / or top side are closed in flush planes, so that the joints are clearly sealed. If water enters between the cover strip and the base and / or cover plate, it is led out of the area of the joints by the folds of the cover and base plates and the profile sides of the frame legs and on the front and / or rear of the Control cabinets derived.
• one embodiment provides that mutually directed end sections of the folds of the floor and / or Cover sheets of adjacent switch cabinets are spaced from each other and that the cover strips protrude with a molded web between the end sections and reach behind them.
• the assembly can then be carried out so that the cover strips are locked transversely to their longitudinal direction in the channels between the floor and / or cover plates of adjacent cabinets or that the cover strips are longitudinally in the grooves between the floor and / or cover plates of adjacent cabinets are inserted.
• a good grip of the cover strip in the grooves of adjacent soil and / or cover plate is achieved according to one embodiment, that the end portions to the top portions assume an acute angle, and that the webs of the covering strip are designed as dovetail crosspieces with corresponding ⁇ the inclination.
• cover strips are designed as sections of a plastic strand, then they can be produced easily and inexpensively using the plastic extrusion process. To reduce the manufacturing costs, it can also be provided that the cover strips are designed as sections of a plastic strand.
• the ends of the hollow cover strips can be closed by means of cover plates which are inserted into cavities of the hollow cover strips with molded plug-in lugs and are held thereon by means of a snug fit and / or an interference fit.
• cover plates which are inserted into cavities of the hollow cover strips with molded plug-in lugs and are held thereon by means of a snug fit and / or an interference fit.
• the cover plates 13.1 and 13.2 of the switch cabinets 10.1 and 10.2 are bent in an L-shaped manner, the initial sections 14.1 and 14.2 being set back with respect to the outer sides. If the control cabinets 10.1 and 10.2 are set up individually, then the cover plates 13.1 and 13.2 with their end sections 15.1 and 15.2 form a type of rain gutter that directs the rainwater accumulating on the cover plate 13.1 and 13.2 to the front and rear of the control cabinet 10.1 and 10.2 . The rain gutter can extend over all sides of the cover plate 13.1 or 13.2 and be open in the corner regions of the cover plate. If the control cabinets 10.1 and 10.2 are strung together and firmly connected to each other, then adjacent control cabinets are created at the joints
• the depth struts of the lined up frame frames lie snugly against each other and are covered except for the distance between the mutually directed end sections 1 5.1 and 1 5.2 of the folds of the cover plates 13.1 and 13.2.
• a cover strip 20 is used, which extends from the front to the back of the control cabinets 10.1 and 10.2.
• a web 22 is formed on the underside of the cover strip 20, which projects between the end sections 1 5.1 and 1 5.2 and engages behind them, so that it can be fixed in the channel without additional fastening means.
• the cover strip 20 can be snapped into the channel transversely to its longitudinal direction or inserted into the channel in the longitudinal direction and held therein.
• the cover strip 20 is a section of a plastic strand, whereby it can be produced inexpensively as a hollow profile 21 with a molded web 22 in the plastic extrusion process.
• the web 22 on the cover strip 20 can also be designed as a dovetail web which is adapted to this angle with its flanks. The hold of the cover strip 20 in the assembled channel is improved.
• the ends of the hollow cover strips 20 are closed by means of cover plates 23 which are provided with molded plug-in lugs.
• the plug-in lugs 24 are inserted into cavities of the hollow profile 21 and held therein by means of a snug fit and / or an interference fit.
• the switch cabinets 10.1 and 1 0.2 can be closed flush using floor plates and cover strips in the same way if this is necessary.
