, Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The disclosure generally relates to the field of power distribution systems. In particular, it pertains to provision of partitions in a switchboard.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] It is estimated that several thousand electrical accidents occur every year leading to burns, tissue damage, and in some cases, cardiac arrest and death of the victim. The most common causes of electrical accidents are faulty wiring, badly designed equipments, poor work practises and most significantly, exposed live parts. While only qualified personnel work on electrical switchboards, there could be situations when working on a part of the switchboard, they accidentally access a live part. In order to avoid such incidents, internal separation between various functional areas has been recognized as an important criterion while designing switchboards.
[0004] Internal separation in switchboards is achieved by use of barriers or partitions (including metallic or non-metallic), insulation of live parts or an integral housing. International standards have defined different forms of internal separations. For example, IEC defines 4 forms of separations – Form 1, Form 2 (2a and 2b), Form 3 (3a and 3b) and Form 4 (4a and 4b), where Form 1 represents no internal separation and Form 4 represents greatest number of separations with busbars, functional units and terminals all separated from each other.
[0005] With ever increasing functional requirements of the switchboards, the complexity of modern switchboards is increasing enormously and so is the need to improve safety of the personnel operating the switchboards. Conventional means to achieve higher degree of separation for fulfilling the requirements forces one towards incremental usage of fixing hardware leading to increased consumption of assembly time, loss of aesthetic appeal, decreased accessibility to working area of switchboard and increased inter-dependence of the fixing hardware.
[0006] Conventional partitions used to achieve desired form of separation in the switchboards have a lot of structural inter-dependence. On account of their interdependence, if one partition needs to be removed, the other dependent partition(s) also would be required to be disassembled first. Hence, assembly and disassembly of such a system forces one to follow a proper sequence every time such a need arises making it a time consuming process. Further, a person has to take utmost care to assemble all the hardware removed.
[0007] Furthermore, fixing points and corresponding screws used for assembling different partitions are not easily accessible, especially in cases where rear access is required. The situation is further worsened where the partitions need to be split in multiple parts. In such cases, it becomes tedious and time consuming to assemble various parts with use of many fixing hardware. Space constraints further restrict the tool access to fixing points requiring use of fewer sets of fixing hardware and many a times restricting number of partitions in switchboards.
[0008] There is therefore a need in the art for improved partitioning systems and methods that can enable higher degree of separation without undue increase in fixing hardware.
[0009] As used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, the meaning of “a,” “an,” and “the” includes plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Also, as used in the description herein, the meaning of “in” includes “in” and “on” unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0010] The recitation of ranges of values herein is merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range. Unless otherwise indicated herein, each individual value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g. “such as”) provided with respect to certain embodiments herein is intended merely to better illuminate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention otherwise claimed. No language in the specification should be construed as indicating any non-claimed element essential to the practice of the invention.
[0011] Groupings of alternative elements or embodiments of the invention disclosed herein are not to be construed as limitations. Each group member can be referred to and claimed individually or in any combination with other members of the group or other elements found herein. One or more members of a group can be included in, or deleted from, a group for reasons of convenience and/or patentability. When any such inclusion or deletion occurs, the specification is herein deemed to contain the group as modified thus fulfilling the written description of all Markush groups used in the appended claims.

[0054] One embodiment of the invention provides a partition comprising plurality of panels joined together to form a complete partition panel. (The panels are referred hereinafter as parts)Thus the partition 100 can comprise of a first part 102, a second part 104 and a third part 106 as illustrated in FIG. 1. The first part 102 of the partition 100 comprises sections 108, 110, 112 and 114 which are at an angled relationship to each other to meet desired structural and fixing requirements. Section 108 which can be a bent end of the first part 102 is provided with holes 116 and 118 for fixing with the structural member of the switchboard in perpendicular configuration. Section 114of the first part 102 can incorporate one or more L-shaped slots such as 120, 122 and 124 for its engagement with second part 104 of the partition 100. Second part 104of the partition 100 is provided with inverted L-shaped projections 126, 128 and 130 at one of its bent end for their engagement with slots 120, 122 and 124 respectively.
[0055] In an embodiment, the L-shaped slots such as 120, 122 and 124 can be configured on the Second part 104 at a position between its two sides for making a T shaped configuration of partition with the first part 102.
[0056] Hinge type of profile 132 is provided on the other end of second part 104 for its engagement with third part 106 of the partition 100. Third part 106 of the partition 100comprises section134 and section 136. Section 134 is provided with a hinge type of profile 138 for its engagement with hinge type of profile 132 of second part 104of the partition 100. Parts 104 and 106 are detachably secured to each other with the use of a fastener 144 inserted through hinged type of profiles 132 and 138. Section 136 of the third part 106 of partition 100 is provided with holes 140 and 142 for fixing with the structural member.
[0057] As illustrated in FIG. 2, first part of the partition 102comprisessections108, 110, 112 and 114 which are at an angled relationship to each other. Section 114 is provided at an angle of 90 degrees to section 112. Section 110 is provided at an angle of 90 degrees to section 112, elongated in the direction opposite to that of section 114 and is coplanar to section 114. Section 108is provided at an angle of 90 degrees to section 110, elongated in the direction of section 112 and is coplanar to section 112. However, it should be appreciated that sections 108, 110, 112 and 114 can be at any other angled relationship to each other as known in the prior art as long as they meet the desired structural and fixing requirements.
[0058] Section 114 of the first part of partition 102 is provided with L-shaped slots 120, 122 and 124 for its engagement with second part 104 of the partition 100 as illustrated in FIG. 1. Each slot is defined by a first wall forming a part of the horizontal section of L-shaped slot and another wall opposite to the first wall forming a part of the vertical section of L-shaped slot. Section 108of the first part of partition 102is provided with holes 116 and 118forfixing with the structural member. Provision of holes 116 and 118 for fixing with the structural member helps in providing support and rigidity to hold the partition properly at its place.
[0059] As illustrated in FIG. 3, second part 104 of the partition 100 is provided with inverted L-shaped projections 126, 128 and 130 at one of its end for engagement with slots 120, 122 and 124 provided at section 114 of the first part of partition 102. At the other end, hinge type of profile 132 is provided for its engagement with third part 106 of the partition 100. Hinge type of profile 132 comprises of one or more curved or bent sections to accommodate any fastener known to a person skilled in the art.
[0060] As illustrated in FIG. 4, first part of the partition 102 and second part 104 of the partition 100 can be detachably connected to each other by insertion of projections 126, 128 and 130 respectively into L-shaped slots 120, 122 and 124. The partition with provision of multiple parts connected to each other with complementary projections and slots would allow one to removably secure different parts of the partition without use of any additional fixing hardware.
[0061] As illustrated in FIG. 5, third part 106 of the partition 100 comprises sections 134 and 136 which are at an angled relationship to each other. Section 136 is provided at an angle of 90 degrees to section 134. However, it should be appreciated that sections 134 and 136 can be at any other angled relationship to each other known in the prior art as long as they meet the desired structural and fixing requirements.
[0062] Section 134 of the third part of partition 100 is provided with a hinge type of profile 138for its engagement with second part 104 of the partition 100. Hinge type of profile 138 comprises one or more curved or bent sections to accommodate any fastener(s) known to a person skilled in the art. Section 136 of the third part of partition 106 is provided with holes 140 and 142 for fixing with the structural member.
[0063] As illustrated in FIG. 6, the second part 104 of the partition 100 and the third part 106 of the partition 100 can be detachably connected to each other by means of a fastener 144. As illustrated in FIG. 6, one or more bent or curved sections which constitute the hinge type of profile 132 on the second part 104 of the partition 100 and one or more bent or curved sections which constitute the hinge type of profile 138 on the third part 106 of the partition 100 are provided at different spacing so as to form a complementary connection with a common axis passing through them when joined to each other.
[0064] As illustrated in FIG. 6, any suitable fastener 144 that would be evident to a person skilled in the art can be inserted through hinged profiles 132 and 138 along a common axis to serve as a pivot point about which second part 104 of the partition 100 and third part 106 of the partition 100 can pivot relative to each other. This arrangement allows the opening of the partition up to 120 degrees.
[0065] FIG. 7 illustrates an exemplary enlarged schematic view 700 of the fastener144 shown in FIG. 6. The fastener 144 can comprise a top portion and a body portion. Body portion has a diameter suitable for its insertion through hinge type of profiles 132 and 138. The top portion of the fastener 144 has a diameter greater than that of the body portion so as to be positively retained in place when the fastener 144 such as a pin with a head is inserted through hinged type of profiles 132 and 138. The body portion incorporates a circumferentially placed groove towards distal end opposite to the top portion to removably engage a circlip. Provision of Circlip helps to secure the fastener 144 in place and prevent its lateral movement after insertion through hinged type of profiles 132 and 138.
[0066] As illustrated in FIG. 8, circlip 800 comprises of a flexible C-shaped retainer ring. Flexibility of the circlip 800 allows for its easy insertion and removal from the slit provided at the end distal to the body portion of the fastener 144. Circlip 800 also includes three protrusions on the inner diametrical surface defining an imaginary diametrical surface with the diameter less than the inner diameter of circlip 800. Imaginary diametrical surface matches closely to the diameter of slit provided on the distal surface of the fastener 144. Provision of protrusions helps in maintenance of snug-fit relationship between circlip 800 and fastener 144.
[0067] As illustrated in FIG. 9, second part 104 of the partition 100 and third part 106 of the partition 100 can be detachably connected to each other by insertion of fastener 144 through hinged type of profiles132 and 138. Once the fastener 144 is in place, a circlip 800 is slidingly received in the slit defined on the distal body portion of the fastener 144. Provision of hinged profiles 132 and 138, fastener 144 and circlip 800 allows for quick connection and disconnection of parts of the partition without undue increase in the fixing hardware.
[0068] FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 illustrate exemplary enlarged schematic top and bottom views after assembly of second part 104 of the partition 100 and third part 106 of the partition 100in accordance with embodiments to the present disclosure.
[0069] FIG. 12 illustrates an exemplary enlarged schematic view of circlip 800 snugly received in the slit defined at distal end of body portion of the fastener 144 to prevent its lateral movement.
[0070] To assemble the partition 100, the projections of second part 104 are first inserted into vertical sections of the L-shaped slots of first part 102 and then shifted towards the end of horizontal sections of the L-shaped slots to lie in the abutting relationship with the wall forming a part of horizontal section of L-shaped slots. Then the third part 106 can be detachably connected to second part 104by bringing them in close relationship such that hinged type of profiles 132 and 138 complement each other and share a common axis acting as a pivot point. Then the fastener 144 can be inserted through profiles 132 and 138. Thereafter the circlip 800 can be slidingly received in the groove provided at the end distal to the body portion of the fastener 144 to realize assembly of the partition.
[0071] It could easily be realized that the steps shown above to assemble the partition need not be followed in the sequence provided. Any two parts of the partition can first be connected to each other and then they can be connected with the third part to complete the partition. Further, it could easily be realized that the first part 102 can first be secured to the structural member by means of holes 116 and 118 provided at one end and the nit can be connected with other two parts 104 and 106. Alternatively, the third part 106 can first be secured to the structural member by means of holes 140 and 142 provided at one end and then it can be connected with other two parts 102 and 104.
[0072] Detachment of second part 102 of the partition 100 can be easily done from partition 100 of the present invention without even detaching the whole partition 100 from the structural member. In order to disengage second part 104 from the partition assembly 100, fastener 144 is first removed by detachment of circlip 800 from the slit, allowing detaching part 104 from part 106 of the partition. Projections of the second part 104 are then shifted backwards in horizontal section of L-shaped slots of the first part 102 to lay the projections in abutting relationship with the wall forming a part of vertical section of the L-shaped slots. The part 104 is then lifted upwards to remove projections from the vertical section of L-shaped slots. Movement of part 104 backwards in the horizontal direction to follow horizontal section of L-shaped slot place the part 104 in a plane different than that of adjacent partitions forming a composite panel structure. Since no other parts of the partition 100 or other adjacent partitions reside in the plane of part 104 while its detachment, the partition 100 eliminates the need to detach the whole partition from structural member or to detach adjacent partitions during maintenance activities of the switchboards.
[0073] As illustrated in FIG. 1-12 and from the description above, it could be realized that partition of the present invention that incorporates L-shaped slots on one part of partition, projections on the other part of partition and hinge type of profile on one or more parts of the partition eliminates structural inter-dependence of adjacent partitions allowing assembling and dissembling any particular partition of the switchboard without removing or disturbing other partitions.
[0074] FIG. 13 illustrates exemplary schematic outer view 1300 of the partition100split into three parts 102, 104 and 106in accordance with embodiments to the present disclosure.
[0075] As illustrated in FIG. 14-17, another embodiment of the present invention provides a partition split into 4 parts 102, 104, 106 and 146 that can provide a bigger partition 1500 as shown in FIG. 15. As illustrated in FIG. 14, the additional part i.e. fourth part 146 of the partition 1500can be provided with hinge type of profiles 148 and 150 at opposite ends for engagement with the second part 104 and the third part 106 of the partition 1500. It could easily be realized that in case of a need to add more number of parts to a partition to achieve higher form of segregations in the switchboard, one can easily add any number of parts with hinged profiles at both ends and connect them using fastener(s) and circlip(s).
[0076] FIG. 15A and 15B illustrate exemplary schematic front and rear views of the partition split into 4 parts 102, 104, 106 and 146, where third part 106 is provided at an angle of 90 degrees to other three parts 102, 104 and 146 in accordance with embodiment to the present disclosure.
[0077] FIG. 16A and FIG. 16B illustrate exemplary schematic front and rear views of the partition, where two parts of the partition 102 and 104 are at an angle of 90 degrees relative to other two parts of the partition 106 and 146in accordance with embodiment to the present disclosure.
[0078] FIG. 17A and FIG. 17B illustrate exemplary schematic front and rear views of the partition, where fourth part 146 is provided at an angle of 90 degrees to other three parts of the partition 102, 104 and 106 in accordance with embodiment to the present disclosure.
[0079] FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B illustrate exemplary schematic front and rear views of the partition, where all four parts of the partition 102, 104, 106 and 146 are at different angles relative to each other in accordance with embodiment to the present disclosure.
[0080] As illustrated in FIG. 1-18, and from the description above, the improved partition system as per the present disclosure has been advantageously divided into multiple parts to provide an easier solution than to handle long length partition comprising only one part and potentially jeopardizing safety of the personnel by exposing them to other live parts. Further, the partition system as per the present disclosure has less fixing points and hence, reduces the use of fixing hardware. Reduction in usage of fixing hardware allows for easy and convenient usage for the end users during their maintenance activities with simultaneous reduction in the overall cost of switchboards. Further, it improves aesthetic appearance of the assembly. Further, in case of a need to add more number of parts to a partition to achieve higher form of segregations in the switchboard, one can easily add any number of parts with hinged profiles at both ends and connect them with the use of fastener(s) and circlip(s). Further, connection using L-shaped slots and projections helps in the reduction of structural inter-dependence. This is particularly helpful when the panel is occupied with feeders and have their partitions aligned; in such cases without removing all partitions, it is possible to remove or assemble one or more partition of a particular feeder. Further, the challenge of tool access to fixing hardware like screws, bolts etc. due to space constraints has been addressed by utilization of simple fastener and circlip.
[0081] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
