[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] In the specific implementation process, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the surge protector includes a base 1, a shell 2 and a surge protection module 3 installed in the shell 2, the base 1 is wrapped around the back of the shell 2, and one of the triangles at the four inner corners of the base 1 is elastically engaged with one of the triangles at the four back corners of the shell 2, and the other one of the four inner corners of the base 1 is detachably fixed with the other one of the four back corners of the shell 2 by a fixing piece, firstly, the base 1 and the shell 2 are preliminarily installed and positioned by means of elastic engagement at three corners, and then the base 1 and the shell 2 are fixed by the fixing piece, which is convenient for quick installation and disassembly between the base 1 and the shell 2 on the one hand, and on the other hand, the base 1 is wrapped around the back of the shell 2 to protect the edge of the shell 2 and play a positioning effect;

[0029] It should be noted that the surge protection module 3 uses arc extinguishing technology and temperature control protection circuits to quickly cut off overcurrent and prevent electric sparks from causing fires when overcurrent occurs, and the surge protection module 3 in the utility model uses a traditional voltage-limiting surge protection module 3;

[0030] Specifically, under normal conditions, the voltage-limiting type also presents high impedance. When encountering transient overvoltage, the internal zinc oxide varistor, TVS diode or avalanche diode and other components start to work, and their impedance gradually decreases as the voltage increases, forming a nonlinear volt-ampere characteristic, clamping the overvoltage within a safe level, while allowing the surge current to be discharged to the ground through itself;

[0031] In order to prevent the shell 2 from being easily moved when being squeezed, a movable groove 17 is opened on the back of the shell 2, and a movable column 18 corresponding to the movable groove 17 is fixed on the inner side of the base 1. The movable column 18 and the base 1 are connected as an integrated structure, and the outer surface of the movable column 18 and the inner wall of the movable groove 17 are gap-matched. When the shell 2 is squeezed, the movable column 18 can play a protective supporting effect for the shell 2;

[0032] A connecting plate 4 is provided at one of the four corners of the inner side of the base 1, and through slots 5 are respectively provided on the three connecting plates 4. An elastic piece 6 in the shape of a barb 12 is provided at one of the four corners of the back of the shell 2. The elastic piece 6 passes through the through slot 5 and is interference-fitted with the connecting plate 4. Specifically, one end of the elastic piece 6 is fixedly connected to the back of the shell 2, and the other end of the elastic piece 6 is tilted and elastic, so that the elastic piece 6 can pass through the through slot 5 and engage with the connecting plate 4, so as to achieve a quick installation effect;

[0033] The fixing part includes a fixing plate 7 and a positioning column 8. The fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the base 1. A connecting groove 9 is provided on the outer side of the shell 2 for the fixing plate 7 to pass through. A positioning ring 10 is embedded in the connecting groove 9. The middle part of the positioning column 8 is composed of two opposite elastic arc plates 11, and both elastic arc plates 11 are provided with barbs 12. The barbs 12 are engaged with the inner side of the positioning ring 10. When the elastic arc plates 11 pass through the positioning ring 10, the barbs 12 on the edges of the two elastic arc plates 11 shrink inwardly, and after the positioning column 8 moves to a certain distance, the elastic arc plates 11 are expanded due to elastic force and are engaged with the inner edge of the positioning ring 10.

[0034] In order to prevent the edge of the surge protector from being too sharp, chamfering is performed on the corners of the base 1 and the shell 2 .

[0035] Embodiment 2

A positioning hole 16 that is threadedly matched with the screw 14 is also provided in the slide groove 15. The shell 2 and the connecting plate 13 are disassembled and installed by the screw 14. The connecting plate 13 on the base 1 is inserted into the slide groove 15, and the screw 14 passes through the through hole on the connecting plate 13 and is screwed into the positioning hole 16 to improve the fixing effect.

[0037] The working principle provided by the utility model is as follows: first, the base 1 and the shell 2 are preliminarily installed and positioned by means of elastic snap-fitting at the three corners thereof, and then the base 1 and the shell 2 are fixed by means of fixing parts. On the one hand, it is convenient for quick installation and disassembly between the base 1 and the shell 2, and on the other hand, the base 1 is wrapped around the back of the shell 2 to protect the edge of the shell 2 and play a positioning effect. One end of the elastic sheet 6 is fixedly connected to the back of the shell 2, and the other end of the elastic sheet 6 is tilted and elastic, so that the elastic sheet 6 can pass through the through slot 5 and snap-fit ​​with the serial plate 4 to achieve a quick installation effect.
