[0002] In the power electronics cabinet, electronic modules need to be charged, and batch-upgraded and downloaded software are required. To achieve these functions and improve efficiency, independent slots are designed in the cabinet according to the size of the modules. The independent slots are equipped with guides and positioning devices, and cooperate with the front quick-fix device on the cabinet to quickly fix the modules, thereby realizing batch operation of the modules.

[0003] Currently, in power electronics cabinets, modular devices are generally fixed to the cabinet using multiple screws. During installation and removal, the screws securing the modules need to be repeatedly tightened and loosened, making the operation cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, bringing unnecessary trouble to commissioning and maintenance. Secondly, the screw fixing method requires specially designed components for fixing the modules within the cabinet, which not only increases the number of components but also takes up internal space, reducing space utilization. Finally, some modules on the market are fixed using a male-female plug-in connection method. On-site installation and use often rely on brute force, which has a certain impact on the module itself, greatly reducing the life of the connector and reducing the module's reliability. During production, daily use, and after-sales maintenance, the module needs to be installed, tightened, and disassembled multiple times. Utility Model Content
