[0041] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A guide column 12 is provided on the box body 1 , and the return spring 3 is sleeved on the guide column 12 .

[0042] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 2 , elastic mounting structures 2 are provided at both ends of the box body 1.

[0043] During installation, the installer can use two fingers to press the pressing pieces 21 at both ends of the box body 1 at the same time, align the first clamping pieces 211 at both ends with the connecting structure of the power box 10 and release the pressing pieces 21, and clamp the first clamping pieces 211 at both ends on the power box 10. The two ends of the function box are installed on the power box 10 synchronously, and there is no need to install one end first and then the other end. Similarly, the disassembly of the two ends of the function box can also be carried out synchronously. Such a setting will not only not make the installation of the function box complicated, but also the reset springs 3 at both ends of the function box can be used so that the two first clamping pieces 211 can be firmly clamped on the power box 10, which is conducive to making the installation of the function box more stable.

[0044] In some other embodiments, one end of the function box is provided with an elastic mounting structure 2, and the other end is provided with only a first clamping member 211.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The functional element 4 includes a pin assembly 42 . A pin avoidance hole 51 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1 . The pin assembly 42 extends from the pin avoidance hole 51 and protrudes from the box body 1 .

[0046] Specifically, the functional element 4 further includes a circuit board 41, and a pin assembly 42 is disposed on the circuit board 41. When the functional box is mounted on the power box 10, the end of the pin assembly 42 away from the functional box will be inserted into the socket group in the power box 10, and the power element in the power box 10 will supply power to the circuit board 41 through the pin assembly 42, so that the functional element 4 can realize the corresponding function.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 4 A guide groove 13 is also provided on the box body 1. The guide groove 13 extends from the bottom to the top of the box body 1 and is connected to the bottom of the box body 1. The guide groove 13 is used to guide the function box to approach the power box 10 during installation.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A cavity 11 is provided on the inner side of the box body 1, and the functional box also includes a sealing plate 5, on which a third clamp 52 is provided, and an opening edge of the cavity 11 is provided with a fastener 111 matching the third clamp 52, and the sealing plate 5 is installed on the box body 1 through the third clamp 52 and the fastener 111 and blocks the opening of the cavity 11.

[0049] When assembling the functional box, the functional components need to be installed in the cavity 11 first, and then the sealing plate 5 is installed on the box body 1 through the third clamp 52 and the fastener 111. The sealing plate 5 is installed using the buckle structure, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the functional box.

[0050] Furthermore, the pin avoidance hole 51 is provided on the sealing plate 5 .

[0051] This embodiment also provides a power supply device, such as Figures 5 to 8 , including the above-mentioned functional box.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, reference Figures 5 to 8 The power supply device also includes a power box 10, a function box installation position 101 is provided on the power box 10, a first limiting hole 103 is provided on the function box installation position 101, and the first clamping member 211 includes a first clamping portion 2112, and the first clamping portion 2112 can enter the power box 10 through the first limiting hole 103 and be clamped on the power box 10.

[0053] Specifically, a function box installation position 101 is provided at a corner of the power box 10, and the function box installation position 101 includes a installation position bottom surface 1011 and a installation position side surface 1012. A first limiting hole 103 is provided on the installation position bottom surface 1011, and a clamping strip 102 is provided on the installation position side surface 1012. The clamping strip 102 is matched with the guide groove 13 on the box body 1.

[0054] Two first limiting holes 103 are provided on the bottom surface 1011 of the installation position to correspond to the first clamps 211 of the elastic mounting structure 2 at both ends of the function box. During installation, the two pressing members 21 are pressed simultaneously to bring the two first clamps 211 closer to each other, and then the first clamps 211 are extended into the corresponding first limiting holes 103 until the first clamps 211 present a state of "the first clamping portion 2112 is located in the power box 10, and the first connecting rod 2111 is inserted into the first limiting hole 103". Subsequently, the pressing member 21 is released, and under the action of the reset spring 3, the first connecting rod 2111 is pressed against the side wall of the first limiting hole 103, and the first clamping portion 2112 is clamped on the upper wall inside the power box 10 to limit the function box from moving away from the power box 10, and the function box is installed on the power box 10.

[0055] The bottom surface 1011 of the mounting position is also provided with a pin connection hole 104, and the power box 10 is provided with the above-mentioned socket group, which is directly opposite to the pin connection hole 104. When the function box is installed on the power box 10, the end of the pin assembly 42 away from the function box also passes through the pin connection hole 104 and is inserted into the socket group, so as to realize the connection between the circuit board 41 and the power supply element.

[0056] The cross section of the clamping strip 102 is T-shaped, and the cross section of the guide groove 13 is also T-shaped. The clamping strip 102 can enter the guide groove 13 from the bottom of the guide groove 13. When installing the function box, the guide groove 13 is first sleeved on the clamping strip 102, and then the function box is installed on the power box 10 by pressing and releasing the pressing member 21, which is conducive to quickly locating the relative position of the function box and the power box 10 and improving the installation speed. At the same time, the cross sections of the clamping strip 102 and the guide groove 13 are both T-shaped, which can limit the function box from being away from the installation side 1012, and further stabilize the position of the function box on the power box 10.

[0057] Furthermore, the length of the first connecting rod 2111 satisfies the following conditions: when the first clamping portion 2112 just enters the interior of the power box 10, the bottom of the function box just abuts against the bottom surface 1011 of the installation position, so that the first clamping portion 2112 can no longer extend into the interior of the power box 10; and after the pressing member 21 is released, the first clamping portion 2112 just clamps on the upper wall inside the power box 10. With such a configuration, the function box is less loose after being installed on the power box 10, and is not prone to abnormal noise, and the connection between the pin assembly 42 and the socket group is more stable, which is conducive to the stability of the function box structure.

[0058] In another embodiment, a clamping strip 102 is provided on the side surface 1012 of the positioning surface, and a guide groove 13 is provided on the box body 1 .

[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
