Abstract

The present invention employs a separate rotation-adjusting member, which allows a position of a circuit breaker or a transformer to be recognized from outside without an error.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A position-indicating apparatus of a switchboard for indicating a position of a transformer or a circuit breaker, the position-indicating apparatus comprising:
a case;
a position-indicating unit provided in the case and indicating a test position or an operation position of a truck on which the circuit breaker or the transformer is mounted;
a rotation member provided in the case and connected to the position-indicating unit, the rotation member rotatable in response to rotation of the position-indicating unit; and
a rotation-adjusting member located between the rotation member and the truck, the rotation-adjusting member rotatable toward the rotation member or the truck in response to movement of the truck and configured to restrict rotation of the rotation member,
wherein the rotation-adjusting member prevents rotation of the rotation member to the operation position when the truck is located at the test position,
wherein the rotation-adjusting member prevents rotation of the rotation member to the test position when the truck is located at the operation position,
wherein the rotation-adjusting member comprises:
an adhesion pin that protrudes toward the truck; and
a rotation plate coupled to the adhesion pin, the rotation plate including a first rotation-adjusting plate provided at a first side of the rotation plate and protruding toward the rotation member and a second rotation-adjusting plate provided at a second side of the rotation plate and protruding toward the rotation member,

wherein a cover is provided at a front surface of the truck,
wherein the cover is configured to push the adhesion pin to cause the first rotation-adjusting plate to protrude toward the rotation member such that rotation of the rotation member toward the operation position is restricted by the first rotation-adjusting plate when the truck moves to the test position, and
wherein adhesion between the cover and the adhesion pin is released and the rotation plate simultaneously rotates to cause the second rotation-adjusting plate to protrude toward the rotation member such that rotation of the rotation member toward the test position is restricted by the second rotation-adjusting plate when the truck moves to the operation position.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rotation member comprises:
a first wing plate; and
a second wing plate extending from one side of the first wing plate to form a predetermined angle with the first wing plate,
wherein the first rotation-adjusting plate contacts the first wing plate to restrict rotation of the rotation member toward the test position when the rotation member rotates to the operation position in response to rotation of the position-indicating unit when the truck is located at the test position, and
wherein the second rotation-adjusting plate contacts the second wing plate to restrict rotation of the rotation member toward the operation position when the rotation member rotates to the test position in response to rotation of the position-indicating unit when the truck is located at the operation position.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first rotation-adjusting plate and the second rotation-adjusting plate are inwardly inclined by predetermined angles.
