Description

Technical Field

[0001] This document specifically relates to a plug-in box integrating PDU functions. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial and commercial electrical systems, the effective transmission of energy and electricity is the basic guarantee for ensuring daily operations. Although the traditional cable connection method is widely used in various scenarios, with the continuous growth of power demand and the improvement of professional requirements, a new generation of electrical connection device - the busbar trunking system has emerged. In this system, the plug-in box plays a crucial role.

[0003] A plug-in box, also known as a continuity box or busbar joint box, is a device for electrical connection in the busbar trunking system. It is usually used in areas where branching or additional connection points are required, such as connecting equipment to the busbar trunking, merging the main line channel with other branches, or performing wire splitting, etc.

[0004] The plug-in box is usually made of insulating materials, with high electrical insulation performance to ensure the safe operation of the electrical system. The internal design of the plug-in box has a plug-in unit, which contains multiple plug-in points, allowing multi-line connection inside the box. At the same time, the plug-in box also has a certain heat dissipation function to ensure that the equipment does not overheat during high-power transmission.

[0005] Generally speaking, a complete plug-in box includes structures such as busbars, insulating material housings, plug-in units, fastening systems, and terminal blocks, etc., which can achieve the rapid and safe connection of wires and busbar trunkings. And it can achieve the expansion and branching of the busbar trunking. However, at present, the functions of the plug-in box still need to be further expanded. Especially for the PDU cabinets used in data centers and radio stations, the current socket types and quantities have caused certain obstacles to expandability and convenience. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, this document proposes a tapping unit for busbar trunking with standard sockets to expand the application range of the existing plug-in box, and mainly aims at the usage scenarios of PDU cabinets to facilitate the existing installation and debugging.

[0007] A plug-in box integrating PDU functions includes a plug-in box main body. Inside the plug-in box main body, there is a power take-off head. One end of the power take-off head is inserted into the busbar trunking to be connected, and the other end of the power take-off head is embedded inside the plug-in box main body; on the outer surface of the plug-in box main body, there are several standard sockets, and the wiring terminals of the standard sockets are connected to the power take-off head through conductors.

[0008] An elastic contact block is provided in the power taking head. The elastic contact block is controlled by an elastic component, such as a spring sheet, and can be ejected outward and contact the busbar in the busbar duct, thereby maintaining a certain power taking stability.

[0009] In order to facilitate installation and connection, a knob is provided on the upper section of the main body of the plug-in box, and the knob can slide in a transverse slide slot, and the plug-in box main body and the bus duct are fixed by rotation. The transverse slide slot can facilitate finding the center of gravity position of the installation and realize installation at the specified position, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the bus duct and the tapping unit.

[0010] In order to facilitate touching and rotating by hand, a notch is provided on the surface of the knob.

[0011] In order to facilitate power supply and unified power connection and disconnection, the standard sockets are arranged in rows, and each row of standard sockets is controlled to open and close by an independent switch. The independent switch can be selected with an indicator light on the surface.

[0012] In order to facilitate maintenance, such as expansion or replacement of fuses, a maintenance window is provided on the surface of the plug box body. The bottom of the maintenance window is connected to the plug box body by a rotating bolt, and the top of the maintenance window is connected to the plug box body by a hinge.

[0013] In order to facilitate the application of the branch unit in various spaces, the main body of the plug-in box and the power-taking head are arranged in parallel or vertically.

[0014] Furthermore, a power inlet is provided on the surface of the plug box body.

[0015] Furthermore, the surface of the plug-in box body is made of insulating material.

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] The design of the tap units in this solution focuses on safety and practicality. They are equipped with sockets that meet the C13 / C19 / C39 international standards, which are sufficient to provide the necessary current for most electrical devices. The design takes into account the user's operational convenience when inserting and unplugging the plug, providing users with ample space and convenience.

[0018] Compared with existing tap units, the installation process is extremely simple, thanks to its standardized design and interface, which can be easily completed by following simple installation instructions. Compared with traditional PDU cabinets, it occupies less space, which is especially important in data center environments where space is often limited.

[0019] In addition, this plug-in box has extremely high layout flexibility and can adapt to multiple wiring points in the data center, whether on the rack, under the floor or on the wall. Its compatibility is also very strong and it can cooperate with multiple devices such as power distribution cabinets and network switches to meet the needs of diverse environments.

[0020] The usage cost is economical. Due to its standardized materials and design, the production cost is effectively controlled. Coupled with its high durability, this plug-in box can play a long-term and stable role.

[0021] Taking everything into consideration, this plug-in box equipped with C13 / C19 / C39 sockets provides an excellent solution, which not only improves the wiring efficiency and safety level of the data center, but also shows strong advantages in terms of usage convenience and cost-effectiveness, indicating that it will become an indispensable part of modern data center wiring.
