Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plug-in box technology, and in particular to a quick and labor-saving hot-swappable plug-in box and its application in busbar trunking. Background Technology
[0002] A plug-in box is a power distribution control device used to connect cables and equipment, installed in electrical systems in industrial and commercial locations. It is an open box containing multiple sockets, typically used to connect electronic equipment and tools to meet various power needs. Existing plug-in boxes are mostly made of aluminum alloy, including a back panel and a front panel. Manufacturing a single box requires six sets of stamping dies to punch holes for corresponding parts, such as holes for various micro-circuit protection covers, lamp holes, various industrial socket holes, and communication interface holes from different monitoring manufacturers. The large number of dies makes the manufacturing process very cumbersome. Furthermore, the aluminum alloy box also has handles, gears, and other plastic parts on its side panels for fixing to busbars. Therefore, manufacturing a single plug-in box requires a wide variety of materials and a large number of standard screws. Utility Model Content
