Abstract

A transformer position adjustment preventing device includes a case having a handle insertion unit formed therein, a position displaying unit disposed in the case and displaying a test position or an operation position of a transformer truck with a transformer seated thereon, a rotating member disposed in the case, connected to the position displaying unit, rotated by the rotation of the position displaying unit to open or close the handle insertion unit, and a restricting member rotated in a direction of the rotating member or an opposite direction of the rotating member according to opening or closing of a door opening and closing the transformer chamber in which the transformer truck is disposed, so as to restrict the rotation of the rotating member or release the restriction state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A transformer position adjustment preventing device of a switchboard, the transformer position adjustment preventing device comprising:
a case having a handle insertion unit; a position displaying unit disposed in the case and displaying a test position or an operation position of a transformer truck with a transformer seated thereon; a rotating member disposed in the case, connected to the position displaying unit, rotated by the rotation of the position displaying unit to open or close the handle insertion unit; and a restricting member rotated in a direction of the rotating member or an opposite direction of the rotating member according to opening or closing of a door configured to open and close the transformer chamber in which the transformer truck is positioned, so as to restrict the rotation of the rotating member or release the restriction state.

2 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the position displaying unit comprises: a front cover having a displaying unit to display a test position or an operation position of the transformer truck, and a catch groove to correspond to the test position or operation position; a rotor rotatably fitted into the front cover and having a through-hole defined in the center thereof; and a locking body disposed to pass through the through-hole and having a first catch protrusion to be selectively fitted into the catch groove.

3 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the front cover has a box shape, the displaying unit is disposed on the front surface of the front cover, and the catch groove is defined inside the front cover.

4 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 2 , wherein the rotating member is connected to the rotor.

5 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein a catch projection protruding toward the through-hole is provided on the rotor, and a second catch protrusion contacting the catch projection when forwardly moved is provided on the locking body.

6 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein an elastic member seating groove is further defined in the rear of the locking body, and the position displaying unit further comprises an elastic member that elastically supports the locking body, the elastic member being seated in the elastic member seating groove.

7 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 1 , wherein a pressing plate capable of pressing the restricting member is protrusively disposed on the door.

8 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the restricting member comprises: a body plate rotatably connected to the inside of the case, and rotated by receiving the elastic force of an elastic member; a contact rod disposed on the body plate to correspond to the pressing plate and extending toward a door, so that the contact rod is moved toward the rear of the rotating member according to the movement of the door while being in contact with the pressing plate when the door is closed and the contact rod is moved toward the rotating member according to the rotation of the body plate when the door is opened; and one or more rotating member stoppers disposed on the body plate and restricting the rotation of the rotating member by moving toward the rear of the rotating member according to the movement of the body plate when the door is closed and by moving toward the rotating member according to the rotation of the body plate when the door is opened.

9 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 8 , wherein a contact plate that contacts the pressing plate and is bent vertically is disposed on the contact rod.

10 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the body plate is rotatably connected to a hinge unit in the case, and the elastic member is a torsion spring that elastically supports the body plate to allow the body plate to be rotated about the hinge unit in a forward direction.

11 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 8 , wherein the rotating member comprises:
a first rotary bar; and a second rotary bar forming a curved shape together with the first rotary bar.

12 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 11 , wherein the first rotary bar and second rotary bar cross each other at a right angle.

13 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 11 , wherein the rotating member stopper includes a pair of protrusion portions spaced from each other, and a spaced distance between the pair of protrusion portions is shorter than a long-direction length of each of the first and second rotary bars and is longer than a short-direction width of each of the first and second rotary bars.

14 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 11 , wherein the rotating member stopper is forwardly moved to a position at which the rotation of the first rotary bar is restricted when the position displaying unit is located at the test position and the door is opened, and
is backwardly moved to a position at which the restriction of the rotating member is released when the position displaying unit is located at the test position and the door is closed.

15 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 11 , wherein a second rotary bar extension rod is rotatably connected to the second rotary bar, and
a fitting plate having a fitting hole is disposed on the door, wherein the second rotary bar extension bar is fitted into the fitting hole to limit the opening of the door when the rotor is rotated to the operation position while the door is closed.

16 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 11 , wherein a width of each of the first and second rotary bars gradually increases from one side in which the first rotary bar and second rotary bar are connected to each other to the other side.

17 . The transformer position adjustment preventing device according to claim 1 , wherein a transformer girder is disposed in the front of the transformer truck, and
a mounting plate on which the case is placed is disposed on the transformer girder.

18 . A transformer position adjustment preventing device of a switchboard, the transformer position adjustment preventing device comprising:
a case having a handle insertion unit; a position displaying unit provided in the case and displaying a test position or an operation position of a transformer truck with a transformer seated thereon; a rotating member disposed in the case, connected to the position displaying unit, rotated by the rotation of the position displaying unit to open or close the handle insertion unit; a restricting member rotated in a direction of the rotating member or an opposite direction of the rotating member according to opening or closing of a door configured to open and close the transformer chamber in which the transformer truck is positioned, so as to restrict the rotation of the rotating member or release the restriction state; a pressing plate disposed on the door to press the restricting member; and a fitting plate disposed on the door and having a fitting hole into which the rotating member is inserted and fitted.
