Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of power supply equipment, and in particular to a modular emergency distribution box. Background Art

[0002] As the core of information technology infrastructure, the stability and reliability of the power distribution system of the data center is crucial. The power distribution system is responsible for introducing electricity from the external power grid into the data center, and distributing electricity to various servers, storage devices, network equipment and other auxiliary facilities through various levels of power distribution equipment. Once the power distribution system fails, it will cause power outages in the data center, resulting in serious consequences such as business interruption and data loss. In the power distribution system of the data center, the emergency distribution box mainly serves as a backup power supply. When the main power supply is interrupted due to a fault or emergency, the emergency distribution box can quickly switch to the backup power supply (such as diesel generators, UPS power supplies, etc.) to provide emergency power supply for the data center and ensure the normal operation of key equipment and systems. The emergency distribution box is of great significance to ensuring the continuity of data center business and the integrity of data.

[0003] However, the types of servers in the data center are different, and the configurations required by different servers are also different. For different servers, the emergency distribution boxes they need to configure are not universal, resulting in the need for data centers to prepare distribution boxes with different configurations, causing serious waste of resources and costs. At the same time, traditional distribution boxes use iron shells, which are too bulky and inconvenient to carry.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor has designed a modular emergency distribution box based on many years of production design experience in this field and related fields and after repeated experiments, in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a modular emergency power distribution box with multiple output model configurations to meet various power distribution needs.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention proposes a modular emergency distribution box, wherein the modular emergency distribution box at least includes a mobile base, an input module and one or more output modules, the input module and the output module can be detachably installed on the mobile base, and the input module and the adjacent output module are detachably connected through a plug-in electrical connector; the output module has an upper adapter support, a second circuit breaker, a lower adapter support and a plurality of mounting sockets, the upper adapter support is connected to the plug-in electrical connector, the second circuit breaker can be detachably connected between the upper adapter support and the lower adapter support, and the plurality of mounting sockets are respectively connected to the lower adapter support.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following characteristics and advantages:

[0008] The present invention proposes a modular emergency distribution box, which adopts a modular design and splits the functions of a traditional distribution box into an input module and multiple output modules. The input module is used to access the power supply and transmit power to different output modules. Multiple output modules can adopt different output configurations. Through a detachable plug-in electrical connector, appropriate output modules can be selected and temporarily assembled according to actual needs on site, which is convenient and fast and widely used.

[0009] The modular emergency distribution box proposed in the present invention has its input module and output module installed on a mobile base for easy transportation. When the main power supply fails, the modular emergency distribution box can be quickly moved to the fault location and take over, ensuring the continuous operation of various devices in the data center.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 Now, the specific implementation of the modular emergency distribution box 100 proposed by the present invention is described in detail in conjunction with an embodiment.
