[0001] The present application relates to the field of power supply equipment, and in particular to a power supply module and a plug-in frame assembly. Background Art

[0002] The power supply device usually includes a plug-in frame assembly, which includes a plug-in frame and a power module. The power module is plugged into the plug-in frame. When replacing the power module, the power module needs to be pulled out or pushed into the plug-in frame. The power module is usually provided with a handle and a locking member. The handle is used to facilitate pulling out the power module, and the locking member is used to lock or unlock the power module in the plug-in frame.

[0003] When replacing the power module, the locking member needs to be operated, which makes the operation of replacing the power module complicated. When the number of battery modules to be replaced is large, multiple locking members need to be operated, which consumes a lot of time. Utility Model Content

[0004] The embodiments of the present application aim to provide a power module and a frame assembly, so as to at least improve the problem of complicated operation of replacing the power module.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a power module for being plugged into an insertion frame. The power module includes a power supply assembly, a locking member, an elastic member, and a handle member. The locking member is movably arranged on the power supply assembly. The elastic member connects the locking member and the power supply assembly, and the elastic member applies an elastic force to the locking member, and the locking member is locked and connected with the insertion frame under the action of the elastic force. The handle member is rotatably arranged on the power supply assembly, and the handle member includes a first protrusion. When the handle member rotates in an unlocking direction relative to the power supply assembly, the first protrusion is used to drive the locking member to move relative to the power supply assembly so that the locking member is unlocked from the insertion frame. When the elastic member drives the locking member to be locked and connected with the insertion frame, the locking member drives the handle member to rotate in the locking direction, and the unlocking direction is opposite to the locking direction.

[0007] In some embodiments, the locking member is provided with a sliding hole, and the sliding hole extends along the first direction. The power module further includes a mounting member, and a plurality of mounting posts are provided on one side of the mounting member, and the plurality of mounting posts are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the plurality of mounting posts pass through the sliding hole and are connected to the power component. The mounting posts are used to slide in the sliding hole along the first direction.

[0008] In some embodiments, the mounting member is provided with a first hook, and the locking member is provided with a second hook. One end of the elastic member is connected to the first hook, and the other end of the elastic member is connected to the second hook.

[0009] In some embodiments, the locking member includes a locking tongue and a second protrusion, and the locking tongue is locked and connected to the insertion frame under the action of the elastic force. The second protrusion is spaced from the locking tongue, and when the handle member rotates relative to the power supply assembly toward the unlocking direction, the second protrusion applies a thrust to the first protrusion to move the locking tongue relative to the insertion frame, so that the locking tongue is unlocked from the insertion frame.

[0010] In some embodiments, the power supply assembly includes a stopper, and when the handle member rotates relative to the power supply assembly toward the locking direction until the locking member is locked and connected with the insertion frame, the handle member abuts against the stopper.

[0011] In some embodiments, the handle member is provided with a recess, and the depth direction of the recess is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the handle member. The power supply assembly is provided with a third protrusion, and the height direction of the third protrusion is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the handle member. When the handle member is rotated toward the locking direction relative to the power supply assembly until the locking member is locked and connected with the insertion frame, the third protrusion is at least partially provided in the recess to prevent the handle member from rotating relative to the power supply assembly.

[0012] In some embodiments, the power supply assembly includes a shell and a cover. The shell is provided with a receiving cavity, an opening and a fifth hole, and the fifth hole connects the receiving cavity with the outside of the power supply assembly. The locking member is at least partially provided in the receiving cavity, and the handle member is rotatably provided on the shell. The cover is provided on the opening, and the cover is provided with a avoidance hole, and the avoidance hole connects the receiving cavity with the outside of the power supply assembly. When the locking member is locked and connected with the plug-in frame, the locking member extends out of the power supply assembly from the fifth hole. When the handle member rotates toward the unlocking direction relative to the power supply assembly, the handle member drives the locking member to move from the fifth hole into the receiving cavity. When the locking member is locked and connected with the plug-in frame, at least a portion between the two ends of the handle member extends out of the power supply assembly from the avoidance hole. When the handle member rotates toward the unlocking direction relative to the power supply assembly, the handle member rotates from the avoidance hole to the outside of the power supply assembly.

[0013] In some embodiments, the cover body is provided with a supporting surface, and the supporting surface is at least partially located in the rotation path of the handle. When the handle rotates to a preset position in the unlocking direction relative to the power supply assembly, the handle abuts against the supporting surface, and the supporting surface prevents the handle from continuing to rotate in the unlocking direction. When the handle abuts against the supporting surface, the locking member is unlocked from the insertion frame.

[0014] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a plug-in frame assembly, which includes a plug-in frame and a power module as described above: the plug-in frame is provided with a boss; and a locking piece of the power module is locked and connected to the boss.

[0015] In some embodiments, the locking member is slidably disposed on the power supply assembly along a first direction, and a portion of the locking member is used to extend from the power supply assembly along the first direction to be locked and connected with the boss. The power module is plugged into the plug-in frame along a second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. When the locking member is locked and connected with the plug-in frame, the locking member abuts against the side of the boss facing the second direction. A guide surface is provided on the side of the locking member facing the first direction, and the angle between the normal of any point of the guide surface and the second direction is an acute angle. When the power module moves relative to the plug-in frame along the second direction and the guide surface contacts the boss, the boss drives the locking member to move in the opposite direction of the first direction relative to the power supply assembly.

[0016] The power module and frame assembly of the embodiment of the present application can lock or unlock the power module to the frame by rotating the handle, and the power module can also be pulled out or pushed into the frame through the handle, which can simplify the operation of replacing the power module, improve the problem of complex operation of replacing the power module, and improve the efficiency of replacing the power module.

The terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0044] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a power module 100 , which is used to store electric energy and is used to be plugged into a plug-in frame 200 .

[0046] In some embodiments, the plug-in frame 200 can be plugged with one or more power modules 100 to store and accommodate the power modules 100 and to converge the power modules 100 .

[0047] For the above-mentioned subrack 200, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the inserting frame 200 may be in the shape of a rectangular frame.

[0048] In some embodiments, the insertion frame 200 may be provided with a slot 201 . The slot 201 may be in a rectangular shape. The slot 201 is used to insert the power module 100 .

[0049] In some embodiments, the power module 100 is inserted into the slot 201 along the second direction Y, that is, the power module 100 is plugged into the frame 200 along the second direction Y. The second direction Y may be a horizontal direction.

[0050] In some embodiments, the frame 200 is made of metal, such as copper, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel, which is beneficial to enhancing the strength of the frame 200 and reducing the problem of damage to the plugged-in power module 100 caused by deformation of the frame 200.

[0051] For the above power module 100, in some embodiments, as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the power module 100 includes a power assembly 1, a locking member 3, an elastic member 4 and a handle member 5. The power assembly 1 is used to store electric energy; the locking member 3 is movably arranged on the power assembly 1, and the locking member 3 is used to be locked and connected with the plug-in frame 200 or unlocked from the plug-in frame 200, thereby locking or unlocking the power module 100 to the plug-in frame 200; the elastic member 4 applies an elastic force to the locking member 3, and the locking member 3 is locked and connected with the plug-in frame 200 under the action of the elastic force; the handle member 5 is used to drive the locking member 3 to move relative to the power assembly 1, so that the locking member 3 is unlocked from the plug-in frame 200.

[0052] In the above manner, the handle 5 can be operated to lock or unlock the power module 100 to the plug-in frame 200, and the handle 5 can also pull the power module 100 out or push it into the plug-in frame 200, which can simplify the operation of replacing the power module 100, improve the problem of complex operation of replacing the power module 100, and improve the efficiency of replacing the power module 100.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the power module 100 includes a mounting member 2 , and the mounting member 2 movably mounts the locking member 3 on the power assembly 1 so as to movably set the locking member 3 on the power assembly 1 .

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the plug-in frame 200 is provided with a boss 202. When the locking member 3 is locked and connected with the plug-in frame 200, the locking member 3 abuts against the side of the boss 202 facing the second direction Y, thereby preventing the power module 100 from being pulled out of the slot 201 along the second direction Y, so as to achieve locking of the power module 100. It can also be understood that the locking member 3 is locked and connected with the plug-in frame 200. Correspondingly, when the locking member 3 moves relative to the power supply assembly 1, the locking member 3 also moves relative to the plug-in frame 200 and the boss 202. The locking member 3 can move away from the boss 202, so that the power module 100 can be pulled out of the slot 201 in the opposite direction of the second direction Y, so as to achieve unlocking of the power module 100. It can also be understood that the locking member 3 is unlocked from the plug-in frame 200.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the boss 202 is in the shape of a cuboid.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the boss 202 is located in the slot 201. The portion of the locking member 3 is used to extend from the power supply assembly 1 along the first direction X. When the portion of the locking member 3 extends from the power supply assembly 1, the boss 202 is located on the side of the locking member 3 in the opposite direction of the second direction Y. The locking member 3 abuts against the boss 202 to achieve a locking connection. The first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the boss 202 is provided with a locking hole (not shown), which is used to be locked and connected with the locking piece 3; or the insertion frame 200 is provided with other holes (not shown), grooves (not shown) and other structures that are locked and connected with the locking piece 3.

[0058] For the above power supply component 1, if Figure 2 As shown, the power supply assembly 1 can be in a rectangular parallelepiped shape to fit into the slot 201. Specifically, the width and height of the power supply assembly 1 fit into the slot 201, that is, the width and height of the power supply assembly 1 are respectively equal to the width and height of the slot 201, or there is a certain tolerance, such as ±1 mm. The length of the power supply assembly 1 can be greater than the depth of the slot 201, so that the power supply assembly 1 partially protrudes from the slot 201, making it easier for the power module 100 to be pulled out or pushed into the frame 200.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the power supply assembly 1 includes a housing 11 and a cover 12. The housing 11 is provided with a receiving cavity 111, and the cover 12 is covered at an opening 112 of the housing 11.

[0060] In some embodiments, the receiving cavity 111 is used to install a battery cell (not shown), and the battery cell can be conveniently installed in the receiving cavity 111 or removed from the receiving cavity 111 by removing the cover 12 .

[0061] In some embodiments, the housing 11 is made of metal, such as copper, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel, which is beneficial to enhancing the strength of the housing 11 and reducing the problem of damage to the internal battery cells caused by deformation of the housing 11.

[0062] In some embodiments, the cover 12 is made of plastic material, such as phenolic plastic, amino plastic, polyester plastic, epoxy plastic, silicone plastic, imide plastic and polyethylene, which is beneficial to improve the insulation of the cover 12 and improve the problem that the cover 12 is exposed in the slot 201 and easily causes electric shock to the user.

[0063] In some embodiments, the cover 12 can be mounted on the housing 11 by means of snaps, screws or bolts.

[0064] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 11 is provided with a first hole 113 , and the cover 12 is provided with a second hole 121 . The cover 12 can be connected to the housing 11 by passing the first fastener 6 through the first hole 113 and the second hole 121 .

[0065] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 11 is provided with a locking hole 114, and the cover 12 is provided with a hook 122. The hook 122 is locked into the locking hole 114 to connect the cover 12 to the housing 11. The first fastener 6 can be a screw or a bolt.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the shell 11 is provided with three first holes 113 and two hooks 114, and correspondingly, the cover body 12 is provided with three second holes 121 and two hooks 122. The cover body 12 is installed on the shell 11 through the first fasteners 6 and the hooks 122, which is beneficial to reduce the number of first fasteners 6, facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the cover body 12, and reduce the production cost.

[0067] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the handle 5 is rotatably disposed on the housing 11. The handle 5 is provided with a third hole 51, and the first fastener 6 can pass through the first hole 113, the second hole 121 and the third hole 51 at the same time, which can not only connect the cover 12 with the housing 11, but also rotatably dispose the handle 5 on the power supply assembly 1.

[0068] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the handle 5 rotates relative to the power supply assembly 1 toward the locking direction, the handle 5 rotates toward the receiving cavity 111 to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the position shown in FIG. 1 , the handle 5 rotates counterclockwise. When the handle 5 rotates relative to the power supply assembly 1 toward the unlocking direction, the handle 5 rotates toward the direction away from the receiving cavity 111 to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the position shown in FIG, the handle 5 rotates clockwise. Therefore, when the power module 100 is locked in the plug-in frame 200, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, part of the handle 5 rotates into the receiving cavity 111 to reduce the exposed area of ​​the handle 5. When the handle 5 rotates relative to the power supply assembly 1, the unlocking direction is opposite to the locking direction.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the handle 5 rotates relative to the power assembly 1 in the unlocking direction, the handle 5 rotates from the avoidance hole 123 to the outside of the power assembly 1, that is, the handle 5 is screwed out of the power assembly 1, which is convenient for the user to hold. When the handle 5 rotates relative to the power assembly 1 in the locking direction, the handle 5 rotates from the avoidance hole 123 to the inside of the power assembly 1, that is, the handle 5 is screwed into the power assembly 1, so that the handle 5 is at least partially hidden and accommodated in the power assembly 1, reducing the exposed area and length of the handle 5, which can protect the handle 5 and improve the problem that the handle 5 is too protruding and easy to hit the user.

[0070] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the cover 12 is provided with an escape hole 123, which connects the receiving cavity 111 with the outside of the power assembly 1, and the handle 5 extends out of the power assembly 1 from the escape hole 123. In some other embodiments, a gap may also be left between the cover 12 and the housing 11 to allow the handle 5 to extend out of the power assembly 1.

[0071] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the power supply assembly 1 includes a stopper 115, which can be disposed on the housing 11 and can be formed by stamping the housing 11. When the handle 5 rotates toward the locking direction relative to the power supply assembly 1 until the locking member 3 is locked and connected with the plug-in frame 200, the handle 5 abuts against the stopper 115, which can prevent the handle 5 from continuing to rotate into the power supply assembly 1, thereby improving the problem that the handle 5 rotates into the power supply assembly 1 and it is difficult to pull the handle 5 out of the power supply assembly 1.

[0072] In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 6As shown, the handle 5 is provided with a recess 53, and the power assembly 1 is provided with a third protrusion 1231. The depth direction of the recess 53 is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the handle 5, and the height direction of the third protrusion 53 is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the handle 5. When the handle 5 rotates relative to the power assembly 1 toward the locking direction until the locking member 3 is locked and connected with the plug-in frame 200, the third protrusion 1231 is at least partially provided in the recess 53 to prevent the handle 5 from rotating relative to the power assembly 1, limit the position of the handle 5 relative to the power assembly 1, improve the problem of noise caused by the free rotation and shaking of the handle 5, improve the problem of the locking member 3 being unlocked from the plug-in frame 200 due to the free rotation or shaking of the handle 5, and can also improve the problem of the end of the handle 5 being exposed to the power assembly 1 due to the free rotation of the handle 5.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the third convex portion 1231 is disposed in the avoidance hole 123, and the concave portion 53 is disposed on one side of the handle member 5 along a direction parallel to the rotation axis. Therefore, the third convex portion 1231 is engaged with the concave portion 53 in the avoidance hole 123, and when the locking member 3 is locked and connected with the insertion frame 200, the third convex portion 1231 and the concave portion 53 are both hidden in the power supply assembly 1, which is beneficial to increasing the aesthetics of the power supply module 100.

[0074] In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the third protrusion 1231 is hemispherical.

[0075] In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, two third protrusions 1231 are relatively arranged in the avoidance hole 123, and a recess 53 is respectively arranged on the two opposite sides of the handle member 5. The two third protrusions 1231 are used to be respectively arranged in the two recesses 53 to enhance the stability of the power supply component 1 limiting the handle member 5.

[0076] In some embodiments, the two recesses 53 on opposite sides of the handle member 5 are connected to form a through hole.

[0077] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the cover body 12 is provided with a supporting surface 1232, and the supporting surface 1232 is at least partially located in the rotation path of the handle member 5. Therefore, the supporting surface 1232 can interfere with the rotation of the handle member 5.

[0078] Among them, see Figure 7As shown, when the handle 5 rotates to the preset position in the unlocking direction relative to the power assembly 1, the handle 5 abuts against the abutting surface 1232, and the abutting surface 1232 prevents the handle 5 from continuing to rotate in the unlocking direction. The preset position can be a position where the handle 5 rotates relative to the power assembly 1 toward the outside of the power assembly 1, which is convenient for the user to hold. The handle 5 is limited to the preset position by the abutting surface 1232, so that when the power module 100 is pulled out of the plug-in frame 200 through the handle 5, the handle 5 can always be located at the preset position, which improves the problem of the uneven process of pulling the power module 100 out of the plug-in frame 200 due to the rotation of the handle 5 relative to the power assembly 1, and improves the efficiency of pulling the power module 100 out of the plug-in frame 200.

[0079] It should be noted that when the handle 5 abuts against the abutting surface 1232, the locking member 3 is unlocked from the insert frame 200. When the handle 5 abuts against the abutting surface 1232, the locking member 3 may be unlocked from the insert frame 200 just in time, or before the handle 5 abuts against the abutting surface 1232, the locking member 3 may have been unlocked from the insert frame 200.

[0080] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the abutting surface 1232 is a portion of the inner wall of the avoidance hole 123 .

[0081] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting member 2 and the elastic member 4 are both disposed in the receiving cavity 111. The mounting member 2 and the elastic member 4 are protected in the receiving cavity 111, which improves the problem that the mounting member 2 and the elastic member 4 are exposed and easily scratch the user, and can reduce the corrosion of the mounting member 2 and the elastic member 4 and extend the service life.

[0082] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing 11 is provided with a fourth hole 116, and the second fastener 7 passes through the fourth hole 116 and is connected to the mounting member 2, so as to set the mounting member 2 in the receiving cavity 111. At least part of the locking member 3 is movably arranged between the mounting member 2 and the housing 11, one end of the elastic member 4 is connected to the portion of the locking member 3 located in the receiving cavity 111, and the other end of the elastic member 4 is connected to the mounting member 2, so as to set the elastic member 4 in the receiving cavity 111 and apply an elastic force to the locking member 3.

[0083] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the housing 11 is provided with a fifth hole 117, and the fifth hole 117 connects the receiving cavity 111 with the outside of the power supply assembly 1. When the locking member 3 is locked and connected with the plug-in frame 200, part of the locking member 3 extends out of the power supply assembly 1 from the fifth hole 117; when the handle member 5 rotates in the unlocking direction relative to the power supply assembly 1, the handle member 5 drives the locking member 3 to move from the fifth hole 117 to the receiving cavity 111. Among them, the locking member 3 can be completely retracted from the fifth hole 117 into the power supply assembly 1, including being completely retracted into the receiving cavity 111, or retracted into the space formed by the connection between the receiving cavity 111 and the fifth hole 117. It can be understood that the locking member 3 is at least partially disposed in the receiving cavity 111.

[0084] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the fifth hole 117 penetrates the housing 11 along the first direction X. When the locking member 3 is locked and connected with the insertion frame 200, part of the locking member 3 extends from the fifth hole 117 to the power supply assembly 1 along the first direction X. When the handle member 5 rotates relative to the power supply assembly 1 in the unlocking direction, the handle member 5 drives the locking member 3 to move from the fifth hole 117 to the receiving cavity 111 in the opposite direction of the first direction X.

[0085] For the above-mentioned mounting member 2, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a mounting post 21 is provided on one side of the mounting member 2, and the second fastener 7 passes through the fourth hole 116 and is connected to the mounting member 2, so as to set the mounting member 2 in the receiving cavity 111. Thus, the portion of the mounting member 2 except the mounting post 21 is spaced from the housing 11, and the locking member 3 can be movably disposed between the portion of the mounting member 2 and the housing 11.

[0086] In some embodiments, the mounting member 2 is substantially in the shape of a rectangular sheet.

[0087] In some embodiments, the mounting member 2 is made of metal, such as copper, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel, to enhance the strength of the mounting member 2 and reduce the problem that the mounting member 2 is deformed and causes the position displacement of the locking member 3, thereby causing the locking member 3 to fail to work properly.

[0088] In some embodiments, the locking member 3 can be rotatably mounted on the power supply assembly 1 , or can be movably mounted on the power supply assembly 1 , and the locking member 3 can be locked and connected to the plug-in frame 200 or unlocked from the plug-in frame 200 by rotating or moving.

[0089] Take the locking member 3 as an example, which is movably mounted on the power supply assembly 1. For example, Figure 4 As shown, the locking member 3 is provided with a sliding hole 31 , and the mounting column 21 passes through the sliding hole 31 to be connected to the power supply assembly 1 . The mounting column 21 is used to slide in the sliding hole 31 , so that the locking member 3 can move or slide relative to the power supply assembly 1 .

[0090] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple mounting posts 21, and the multiple mounting posts 21 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The sliding hole 31 extends along the first direction X, and the mounting post 21 is used to slide in the sliding hole 31 along the first direction X, so that the locking member 3 can move or slide relative to the power supply assembly 1 along the first direction X. Under the restriction of multiple mounting posts 21, the locking member 3 can be prevented from rotating around the mounting post 21, which improves the problem that the locking member 3 cannot be normally locked and connected with the plug-in frame 200 or unlocked from the plug-in frame 200 due to the rotation of the locking member 3 relative to the power supply assembly 1, and improves the working stability of the locking member 3.

[0091] In some embodiments, the mounting column 21 is cylindrical, a threaded hole is disposed at the end of the mounting column 21 , and the second fastener 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the mounting column 21 .

[0092] For the above locking member 3, in some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the length direction of the locking member 3 is parallel to the first direction X, and one end of the locking member 3 along the length direction includes a locking tongue 32, so that when the locking member 3 slides relative to the power supply assembly 1 along the first direction X, the locking tongue 32 can abut against the boss 202 or move away from the boss 202. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 4, the locking tongue 32 continuously abuts against the boss 202, that is, the locking tongue 32 is locked and connected with the frame 200.

[0093] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking member 3 may be substantially in the shape of a rectangular sheet.

[0094] In some embodiments, the locking member 3 is made of metal, such as copper, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel, to enhance the strength of the locking member 3 and reduce the problem of the locking member 3 not being able to work properly due to deformation of the locking member 3.

[0095] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking tongue 32 is provided with a guide surface 321, that is, the locking member 3 is provided with a guide surface 321. The guide surface 321 is located on the side of the locking tongue 32 facing the first direction X, that is, the angle between the normal direction of any point of the guide surface 321 and the first direction X is an acute angle. Moreover, the angle between the normal direction of any point of the guide surface 321 and the second direction Y is an acute angle. The guide surface 321 can be a plane or a curved surface, and can also be a plurality of planes, a plurality of curved surfaces spliced ​​together, or a curved surface and a plane spliced ​​together, etc. Figure 6As shown, taking the guide surface 321 as a plane, any point where the guide surface 321 contacts the boss 202 is oriented toward the first direction X and deviates toward the second direction Y. When the power module 100 moves relative to the plug-in frame 200 along the second direction Y, and the guide surface 321 contacts the boss 202, under the guiding action of the guide surface 321, the boss 202 drives the locking member 3 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction X relative to the power component 1, and then the locking member 3 passes over the boss 202 along the second direction Y, and then under the elastic force of the elastic member 4, the locking member 3 moves along the first direction X to abut against the side of the boss 202 toward the bottom of the slot 201. In the process of pushing the power module 100 into the plug-in frame 200, there is no need to drive the locking member 3 to move through the handle member 5, which simplifies the steps of pushing the power module 100 into the plug-in frame 200 and improves the efficiency of installing the power module 100 into the plug-in frame 200.

[0096] For the elastic member 4, in some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the elastic member 4 connects the locking member 3 and the mounting member 2 , that is, the elastic member 4 connects the locking member 3 and the power supply assembly 1 , thereby applying an elastic force to the locking member 3 .

[0097] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the mounting member 2 is provided with a first hook 22, and the locking member 3 is provided with a second hook 34. One end of the elastic member 4 is connected to the first hook 22, and the other end of the elastic member 4 is connected to the second hook 34, so that the elastic member 4 applies an elastic force to the locking member 3, and the locking member 3 is locked and connected with the insertion frame 200 under the action of the elastic force.

[0098] In some embodiments, the elastic member 4 may be a straight spring or a tension spring.

[0099] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the second hook 34 is located above the first hook 22 , and the elastic member 4 applies a pulling force to the first hook 22 and the second hook 34 , thereby applying an elastic force along the first direction X to the elastic member 4 and the locking member 3 .

[0100] For the handle member 5, in some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the handle 5 can be in the shape of a bent rod.

[0101] In some embodiments, the handle piece 5 is made of metal, such as copper, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel, to enhance the strength of the handle piece 5 and reduce the problem of deformation or even breakage of the handle piece 5 under the force applied by the user, resulting in damage to the handle piece 5.

[0102] There are many ways for the handle 5 to drive the locking member 3 to move relative to the power supply assembly 1, such as the handle 5 pushing the locking member 3 to move, or the handle 5 and the locking member 3 are meshed through a gear or rack, or the handle 5 and the locking member 3 are linked through a connecting rod, etc.

[0103] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the handle member 5 includes a first protrusion 52. When the handle member 5 rotates relative to the power supply assembly 1 in the unlocking direction, the first protrusion 52 drives the locking member 3 to move relative to the power supply assembly 1, so that the locking member 3 is unlocked from the plug-in frame 200. For example, the first protrusion 52 directly abuts against one end of the locking member 3. When the handle member 5 rotates relative to the power supply assembly 1 in the unlocking direction, the first protrusion 52 directly pushes the locking member 3 to move relative to the power supply assembly 1, and moves the locking member 3 away from the boss 202, so that the locking member 3 is unlocked from the plug-in frame 200. It can be understood that when the handle member 5 is released, the elastic member 4 drives the locking member 3 to be locked and connected with the plug-in frame 200, and the locking member 3 drives the handle member 5 to rotate in the locking direction.

[0104] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking member 3 includes a second protrusion 33. When the handle member 5 rotates in the unlocking direction relative to the power supply assembly 1, the second protrusion 33 applies a thrust to the first protrusion 52, so that the lock tongue 32 moves relative to the plug-in frame 200, so that the lock tongue 32 is unlocked from the plug-in frame 200. The second protrusion 33 is spaced from the lock tongue 32, so that the second protrusion 33 can be located in the receiving cavity 111, and the first protrusion 52 does not need to extend out of the power supply assembly 1, thereby improving the problem of interference between the first protrusion 52 and the boss 202 and the inside of the slot 201.

[0105] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, when the handle 5 is rotated toward the locking direction relative to the power assembly 1 until the locking member 3 is locked and connected with the plug-in frame 200, at least part of the self-avoidance hole 123 between the two ends of the handle 5 extends out of the power assembly 1. It is convenient for the user to pull out the handle 5, and the problem of difficulty in pulling the handle 5 out of the power assembly 1 is improved. In addition, the end of the handle 5 is located in the power assembly 1, that is, the handle 5 can be partially hidden and accommodated in the power assembly 1, reducing the exposed area and length of the handle 5, which can not only protect the handle 5, but also improve the problem that the end of the handle 5 is easy to get caught on the wire or the user's clothing, thereby improving the safety of the user.

[0106] In the second aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a plug-in frame assembly (not shown), which includes a plug-in frame 200 and a power module 100. As in the above embodiment, the plug-in frame 200 is provided with a boss 202; the locking member 3 of the power module 100 is locked and connected with the boss 202. The plug-in frame assembly has the structural features and beneficial effects of the power module 100, which will not be repeated here.

[0107] In some embodiments, the subrack assembly includes one subrack 200. In other embodiments, the subrack assembly includes a plurality of subracks 200.

[0108] The power module 100 and the plug-in frame assembly of the embodiment of the present application can lock or unlock the power module 100 in the plug-in frame 200 by rotating the handle 5, and the power module 100 can also be pulled out or pushed into the plug-in frame 200 through the handle 5, which can simplify the operation of replacing the power module 100, improve the problem of complex operation of replacing the power module 100, and improve the efficiency of replacing the power module 100. In the process of pushing the power module 100 into the plug-in frame 200, there is no need to drive the locking member 3 to move through the handle 5, which simplifies the step of pushing the power module 100 into the plug-in frame 200 and improves the efficiency of installing the power module 100 into the plug-in frame 200. The handle 5 can be partially hidden and accommodated in the power assembly 1, reducing the exposed area and length of the handle 5, which can not only protect the handle 5, but also improve the problem that the end of the handle 5 is easily caught on the wire or the user's clothing, thereby improving the safety of the user.
