[0031] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] On the one hand, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an anti-dropping socket, which includes: a socket body 1.

[0033] The socket body 1 includes a plug-in port 11 and an anti-slip assembly 12; the anti-slip assembly 12 includes a slide groove structure 121 and a sliding pin 122, the slide groove structure 121 is located on one side of the plug-in port 11, the sliding pin 122 is inserted into the slide groove structure 121 from the outside of the socket body 1, and can move along the first direction 001 defined by the slide groove structure 121; when the sliding pin 122 moves to the working position along the first direction 001, at least part of the sliding pin 122 is located above the plug-in port 11.

[0034] in, Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the anti-drop socket in the working state is shown, and the position of the sliding pin 122 is the above-mentioned working position. At this time, at least part of the sliding pin 122 is located above the plug port 11, which can press and clamp the plug matched with the plug port 11 to prevent the plug from falling off. For example, in this embodiment, the plug port 11 and the plug matched with it are both components that comply with national standards or industry standards.

[0035] The anti-dropping socket of the present embodiment has an anti-dropping component 12 on the socket body 1, and the anti-dropping component 12 is arranged on one side of the plug-in port 11. The sliding pin 122 can move under the limiting action of the slide groove structure 121. When the sliding pin 122 is in the first working position, at least part of the sliding pin 122 is located above the plug-in port 11, so that the plug plugged into the plug-in port 11 can be pressed and clamped, thereby preventing the plug from falling off from the plug-in port 11.

[0036] The slide groove structure 121 is matched with the slide pin 122, the structure is simple, and the single-side clamping method only needs to be operated from one side of the socket body 1, which is conducive to greatly reducing the workload of on-site operators.

[0037] Exemplarily, the anti-drop assembly 12 only needs one sliding pin 122 to achieve pressing and clamping of the plug, thereby achieving single-sided operation and single-sided clamping, thereby reducing the workload of the operator.

[0038] In some possible implementations, reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the structure of the anti-drop socket in the non-working state is shown, and the position of the sliding pin 122 is the non-working position of the sliding pin 122. When the sliding pin 122 moves to the non-working position along the first direction 001, the sliding pin 122 is completely withdrawn from the plug port 11, so that the plug can be plugged in and out of the plug port 11.

[0039] Exemplarily, a plug (not shown in the figure) that matches the plug port 11 is provided with a limiting step, and when the sliding pin 122 is in the working position, at least a portion of the sliding pin 122 can match with the limiting step.

[0040] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The anti-drop socket of this embodiment includes a non-working state and a working state:

[0041] Among them, in the non-working state, the anti-drop socket can be Figure 2As shown, the sliding pin 122 and the slide groove structure 121 are in a matching state, but the sliding pin 122 is only in a non-working position, and the sliding pin 122 is completely out of the range of the plug port 11, and the plug can be plugged in and out of the plug port 11. Figure 3 As shown, the sliding pin 122 and the slide groove structure 121 are in a separated state and can be stored and transported separately. This can be used in a scenario where there is no risk of the plug being detached. The sliding pin 122 can be removed to reduce costs and prevent the sliding pin 122 from affecting the normal insertion and removal of the plug.

[0042] In working state, the anti-drop socket is Figure 1 As shown, the sliding pin 122 is inserted into the slide groove structure 121 from the right side, and a part of the sliding pin 122 passes through the slide groove structure 121 and extends to the top of the plug port 11, and can press the limit step of the plug from above, thereby clamping the plug on the plug port 11.

[0043] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the sliding pin 122 includes two pin rod portions 1221 and a connecting portion 1222; the two pin rod portions 1221 are arranged at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the first direction 001, and are movably connected to the slide groove structure 121 respectively; the connecting portion 1222 is connected between the ends of the two pin rod portions 1221 facing away from the plug-in port 11.

[0044] Through the above arrangement, the anti-drop socket can use the two pin rods 1221 of the sliding pin 122 to respectively press and clamp the plug on the limiting steps on the opposite sides of the plug, so as to reliably and stably clamp the plug on the plug port 11. The connecting portion 1222 is connected between the ends of the two pin rods 1221, and the two pin rods 1221 and the connecting portion 1222 form a U-shaped structural member with a simple structure, low production and manufacturing costs, and easy installation and disassembly.

[0045] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the slide groove structure 121 is located at the side edge of the socket body 1 where the plug port 11 is located. The slide groove structure 121 and the socket body 1 are integrally formed, or the slide groove structure 121 is fixedly connected to the side of the socket body 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the slide groove structure 121 mainly serves to limit the moving direction of the sliding pin 122 and provide a pressing force. By way of example, the number of slide groove structures 121 and the number of sliding pins 122 correspond one to one, that is, one slide groove structure 121 can limit the moving direction of a sliding pin 122 and provide a pressing force for the sliding pin 122.

[0047] Among them, the slide groove structure 121 can be an integrally molded structure with the socket body 1, such as an integral injection molding structure; the slide groove structure 121 and the socket body 1 can also be a split structure, and the slide groove structure 121 is fixedly connected to the socket body 1 using a connecting material or a connecting structure. For example, the slide groove structure 121 is fixedly connected to the socket body 1 by bonding, clamping, fastener connection, etc.

[0048] For example, reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, at least one plug-in portion 1213 is provided at the bottom of the slide groove structure 121, and at least one plug-in hole (not shown in the figure) is provided at the side edge where the plug-in port 11 in the socket body 1 is located. The plug-in portion 1213 cooperates with the plug-in hole to fix the slide groove structure 121 on the plug-in body.

[0049] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the slide slot structure 121 is provided with at least one slide slot hole 1211 , and the at least one slide slot hole 1211 penetrates the slide slot structure 121 along the first direction 001 , and the sliding pin 122 is inserted into the at least one slide slot hole 1211 .

[0050] Through the above arrangement, the slide groove structure 121 can utilize the slide groove hole 1211 to be plugged and slidably matched with the sliding pin 122, thereby limiting the movement direction of the sliding pin 122 and providing a pressing force for the sliding pin 122. The structure is simple and the installation and disassembly of the sliding pin 122 is more convenient.

[0051] For example, the number of the slide slot holes 1211 on the slide slot structure 121 is one, two, three, etc. The number of the slide slot holes 1211 may be the same as the number of the slide rod parts in the slide pin 122 or may be different from the number of the slide rod parts in the slide pin 122 .

[0052] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of the slide slot hole 1211 is one; the slide pin member 122 includes two pin rod portions 1221 and a connecting portion 1222 .

[0053] The two pin rods 1221 and the connecting portion 1222 are both movably inserted into the slide slot hole 1211. When the sliding pin 122 moves to the working position along the first direction 001, the ends of the two pin rods 1221 facing away from the connecting portion 1222 and at least part of the connecting portion 1222 are located above the plug-in port 11.

[0054] Through the above arrangement, a larger slide slot hole 1211 on the slide slot structure 121 can be used to accommodate two pin rod parts 1221 and the connecting part 1222 at the same time. The cross-sectional size of the slide slot hole 1211 is larger, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of positioning the sliding pin part 122 and the slide slot hole 1211, and realizing quick alignment and plug-in.

[0055] At the same time, the connecting portion 1222 located at the end of the two pin rod portions 1221 can also extend into the top of the plug-in port 11 through the slide slot hole 1211, so that the two pin rod portions 1221 respectively press against the opposite sides of the clamping plug, and the connecting portion 1222 can press against the other side of the clamping plug. The three sides of the plug are pressed and clamped, so that the plug is clamped on the plug-in port 11 more stably and reliably.

[0056] In addition, since the connecting portion 1222 can also be pressed against one side of the plug, the connecting portion 1222 can be used as a movable limiter for the sliding pin 122 along the first direction 001 when pressed against the plug, and there is no need to arrange a special limiter structure for the sliding pin 122.

[0057] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of the slide slot holes 1211 is two; the sliding pin member 122 includes two pin rod portions 1221 and a connecting portion 1222 .

[0058] The two pin rod portions 1221 are movably inserted into the two slide slot holes 1211 respectively, and the connecting portion 1222 is located on the outer side of the slide slot structure 121 facing away from the plug-in port 11; when the sliding pin 122 moves to the working position along the first direction 001, the ends of the two pin rod portions 1221 facing away from the connecting portion 1222 are located above the plug-in port 11.

[0059] Through the above arrangement, the two slide slot holes 1211 arranged at intervals on the slide slot structure 121 can be respectively inserted and accommodated with the two pin rod portions 1221, and the connecting portion 1222 is located on the outer side of the slide slot structure 121 facing away from the plug-in port 11. When the sliding pin member 122 moves along the first direction 001, the connecting portion 1222 abuts against the outer side surface of the slide slot structure 121, thereby providing a limit for the sliding pin member 122.

[0060] Combination Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the slide groove structure 121 is provided with inwardly recessed notches 1212 on both sides perpendicular to the first direction 001 , and the two notches 1212 serve as two slide groove holes 1211 for accommodating two pin rods 1221 .

[0061] Through the above arrangement, the notches 1212 provided on both sides of the slide groove structure 121 perpendicular to the first direction 001 are utilized as two slide groove holes 1211 to accommodate the pin rod portion 1221. On the one hand, the difficulty of processing the slide groove structure 121 can be reduced, and on the other hand, the difficulty of plugging the pin rod portion 1221 into the slide groove hole 1211 can be reduced without affecting the limiting effect of the slide groove structure 121 on the sliding pin member 122.

[0062] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a guide portion 1223 is provided at the end of the pin portion 1221 away from the connecting portion 1222 , and the guide portion 1223 on each pin portion 1221 is located on a side facing the other pin portion 1221 .

[0063] By arranging the guide portion 1223 at the end of the pin rod portion 1221, it can play a guiding role when the pin rod portion 1221 is inserted into the slide slot hole 1211 and the pin rod portion 1221 cooperates with the limiting step of the plug, thereby reducing the difficulty of positioning the pin rod portion 1221 and reducing the workload of the staff.

[0064] In some embodiments, the plug port 11 includes one of C5, C13, C14, and C19. Among them, C5, C13, C14, and C19 are plug structures of different sizes, shapes, and electrical parameters defined in national standards or industry standards, and the above different types of plug structures can be applied to the anti-drop socket scenario of this embodiment.

[0065] On the other hand, this embodiment provides a power distribution unit, which includes the anti-drop socket of this application. The power distribution unit of this embodiment adopts the anti-drop socket of this embodiment and has all the beneficial technical effects of this application.

[0066] Exemplarily, the power distribution unit of this embodiment is applied to a data center. The data center also includes at least one server, and the power distribution unit can use the anti-drop socket of this application to provide power to the at least one server.

[0067] Among them, the server can be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDN), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The terminal can be a smart phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, desktop computer, smart speaker, smart watch, etc., but is not limited to this. The terminal and the server can be directly or indirectly connected through wired or wireless communication, which is not limited in this disclosure.
