[0066] It should be noted that when the plug is inserted into the plug pin 8, the plug pin 8 and the support sleeve 9 can compress the spring ring 10 and press towards the side close to the clamping plate 2, when the plug pin 8 and the support sleeve 9 move to the preset position, the end of the plug pin 8 will be recessed relative to the end of the transmission sleeve 7, so that the plug pin 8 and the plug are located in the transmission sleeve 7, further protecting the plug pin 8 and the plug from dust and dirt. At this time, the plug pin 8 and the transmission sleeve 7 can move synchronously, so that the transmission sleeve 7 moves towards the side close to the clamping plate 2, which drives the linkage rack 6 to move, so that the linkage gear 5 engaged with the linkage rack 6 rotates, the linkage gear 5 drives the rotation shaft 4 to rotate, the rotation shaft 4 drives the forward threaded rod 11 and the reverse threaded rod 14 to rotate synchronously, so that the bottom threaded part 12 and the top threaded part 15 rotate and move up and down at the same time, thereby driving the upper cover plate 13 to move down and the lower cover plate 16 to move up.

[0067] In actual application, the shape, size and material of the boss 28 and the support sleeve 9 can be determined according to actual conditions and actual needs.

[0068] Preferably, it also includes a cabinet iron shell 1 for mounting the clamping plate 2, and the cabinet iron shell 1 is provided with a plurality of clamping plates 2 at equal intervals on one side. In actual application, the shape, size and material of the cabinet iron shell 1 can be determined according to actual conditions and actual needs.

[0069] It should be noted that the PDU power supply stabilizing device of the rack-mounted server includes a cabinet iron shell 1, a plurality of clamping plates 2 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the cabinet iron shell 1, each clamping plate 2 is fixedly installed with four groups of connecting pieces 3, a rotating groove 29 is arranged in each connecting piece 3, a rotation shaft 4 is rotatably connected in the rotating groove 29, a linkage gear 5 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotation shaft 4, a linkage rack 6 is engaged on one side of the linkage gear 5, and a transmission sleeve 7 is fixedly connected on one side of the linkage rack 6. And each plug pin 8 is provided with a jack for mounting a plug.

[0070] When the plug is plugged into the socket, the plug can extrude the latch 8 and the transmission sleeve 7, when the transmission sleeve 7 moves towards the side close to the clamping plate 2, it can drive the linkage rack 6 to move synchronously, and then make the linkage gear 5 engaged with the linkage rack 6 rotate, when the linkage gear 5 rotates, it can drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, when the rotating shaft 4 rotates, it can drive the forward threaded rod 11 and the reverse threaded rod 14 to rotate synchronously, so that the bottom threaded part 12 and the top threaded part 15 rotate and move up and down at the same time, and then drive the upper cover plate 13 to move down and the lower cover plate 16 to move up, so that the upper cover plate 13 and the lower cover plate 16 are clamped and connected to form a closed protective structure, thereby protecting the plug in three dimensions, making the plug connection more secure and reliable, and relatively improving the safety of the power supply, achieving moisture and dust prevention at the plug, and then improving the use effect of the PDU power supply. On the other hand, by arranging the arc-shaped support clamping plates 23, when the plug is plugged into the socket, the upper cover plate 13 and the lower cover plate 16 can move synchronously to drive the arc-shaped support clamping plates 23 located outside the latch 8 to move, so that the support clamping plates 23 can clamp and stabilize the plug, avoiding unnecessary trouble caused by loose plug, and relatively improving the structural stability of the PDU power supply.
