Description

Vertical switch box with hinged door panels for opening

The present invention relates to a vertical switch box with door panels that can be rotated for opening as claimed in claim 1.

The control box according to the invention serves for the assembly of electronic components or is designed as a box in which the cabling elements are provided.

The switch box is six-sided and is made of metal and has a front door at the front. Inside the switch box, there are several rails running vertically and horizontally, on which several distribution boards are attached. The conventional switch box has only one front door, so the hand must be inserted from the front door to carry out wiring and maintenance. In particular, wiring and maintenance are even more difficult to carry out on the innermost side and the furthest corner, because the installer's hand has difficulty reaching such places and the view is easily blocked. Therefore, work in such places is difficult and time-consuming.

The invention is based on the object of eliminating the above-mentioned deficiencies and providing a vertical switch box which itself and its front door board, side door boards and rear door board can be rotated for opening, so that the assembly of components and the wiring inside the vertical switch box can be carried out practically and time-savingly.

These objects are achieved according to the invention by a vertical switch box with door panels that can be rotated for opening, which has the features specified in claims 1 and 5. 35

Further features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the following description of preferred embodiments, which refers to the accompanying drawings, in which: 5

Two cross members 30 are screwed to two vertical supports 70, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4 , which are each provided with a U-shaped base 31 at both ends, against which a fixing element 40 rests, whereby the four

Corners of the rear side of the vertical switch box 10 according to the invention are fastened by means of four fixing elements 40. The vertical switch box 10 enclosed by six boards consists of a headboard 11, a bottom board 12, two side boards 13, a front board 14 and a rear board 15. Referring to Figs. 2 and 5, the front board 14 and the side boards 13 have a fixing element 40 on one side at the top and bottom so that they are fastened to the headboard 11 and bottom board 12.

From Fig. 5 and 6 it can be seen that the fixing element 40 has a fastening plate 41, with two pipe sockets 42, 43 arranged at opposite ends of one side of the fastening plate 41. A pivot 44 with a bevelled head 441 is pushed through the two pipe sockets 42, 43, with a spring 45 located between the pipe sockets 42, 43 being pushed onto the pivot 44. A disk 46 is also pushed onto the pivot 44, against which the spring 45 is pressed, whereby the pivot 44 protrudes. From Fig. 1 and 5 it can be seen that the fixing elements 40 attached to both sides of the upper and lower cross members 30 are connected to the headboard 11 and the bottom board 12 by means of the pivot 44. When the beveled heads 441 of the fixing elements 40 on the same side of the vertical switch box 10 are pulled out as shown in Fig. 3, the vertical switch box 10 can be rotated about the fixing elements 40 on the opposite side of the vertical switch box 10, so that the vertical switch box 10 can be detached from one of the vertical posts 70 to facilitate wiring. In Figs. 2, 6 and 8 it is shown that the front board 14 is provided with a fixing element 40 on one side at the top and bottom, wherein the upper and lower fixing elements 40 are respectively inserted into the head board 11 and bottom board

12 for rotary connection so that the front board can be rotated about the fixing element 40 for opening. From Fig. it can be seen that the side board 13 is provided with a fixing element 40 on one side at the top and bottom, wherein the pivot pins 44 of the fixing elements 40 extend respectively into the head board 11 and bottom board 12 so that the side boards 13 can be rotated about the fixing element 40 for opening. Referring to Fig. 7, a wide angle 61 is attached to a corner of the bottom board 12 where a screw hole 611 is provided. When the side board 13 of the vertical switch box 10 is closed, the corner 131 is pressed against the front end of the wide angle 61, whereupon the side board 13 is screwed to the wide angle 61.

From Fig. 2 it can be seen that the rear board 15 is simply screwed on since it is rarely used.

Fig. 2 further shows that the present invention comprises a plurality of fixing elements 40 which serve as pivots of the vertical switch box 10 so that the front board and the side boards 13 can be rotated about the fixing elements 40 in order to facilitate the implementation of the wiring within the vertical switch box 10.

From Fig. 2, 4 and 6 it can be seen that a distribution rail 20 is provided inside the vertical switch box 10, which is provided with several holes and with a groove 21 at the bottom, wherein the distribution rail is arranged adjustably inside the vertical switch box 10. The adjustment is achieved in that the vertical switch box 10 is provided at the front at a corner with a fastening bracket 50, which has several screw holes 51 at the top, wherein one end of the distribution rail 20 rests on the fastening bracket 50.

•3 ^:

Referring to Figs. 5 and 6, a pipe socket 23 is provided which is inserted through the bottom of the groove 21 of the distribution rail 20 and abuts against the mounting bracket 50, and a screw 22 is inserted into the pipe socket 23 and tightened into the screw hole 51 of the mounting bracket 50, thereby forming a pivot pin. Therefore, the upper and lower ends on this side of the distribution rail 20 are opened or closed appropriately. From Figs.

2 and 7, it can be seen that a blocking block 60 with screw holes 611 is installed inside the vertical switch box 10 and at the free end of the distribution bar 20. If the distribution bar 20 is stored inside the vertical switch box 10, it is pressed exactly against the blocking block 60 and screwed to it.

Due to the above design, the present invention has the following advantages when used:

1. The front board and side boards are slightly opened to facilitate wiring, so that the wiring time is shortened and the wiring is more convenient.

2. The distribution rail according to the invention is movably arranged by means of a mounting bracket, a pipe socket and a screw, so that it is very convenient in use.

3. In the present invention, two cross beams are bolted to vertical posts by means of the fixing elements. When the fixing elements on one side of the vertical switch box are pulled out, the vertical switch box can be rotated around the fixing elements on the opposite side to facilitate wiring.

The invention is not limited to the embodiment described, but rather results for
