Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0028] Active overcurrent cut-off UPS protection structure, including:

[0029] Active over-current cut-off UPS body 1;

[0030] The bottom plate 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the active overcurrent cut-off UPS body 1, and the lower end of the bottom plate 2 is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 3 by bolts;

[0031] A protection frame 4 is provided at the lower end of the active overcurrent cut-off UPS body 1;

[0032] The protection mechanism includes a base 5, a slide 7, a slider 8, a first cross frame 9 and a buffer protection component. The base 5 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the protection frame 4, the slide 7 is opened at the side end of the protection frame 4, the slider 8 is slidably connected in the slide 7, the first cross frame 9 is fixedly connected to the side end of the slider 8, the first cross frame 9 is connected to the mounting plate 3, and the buffer protection component is arranged at the lower end of the first cross frame 9 to realize active overcurrent cut-off protection of the UPS body 1.

[0033] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the active overcurrent cutoff UPS body 1 is the central component of the entire system. It not only provides a stable power supply but also actively cuts off power when an overcurrent condition is detected, thereby protecting connected devices from damage. The specific connection and implementation of the active overcurrent cutoff UPS body 1 are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail in this solution. The base plate 2 is used to securely connect the UPS body 1 and is bolted to the mounting plate 3, ensuring that the UPS body 1 is securely mounted in a suitable location. The mounting plate 3 is bolted to the base plate 2, allowing the entire UPS system to be secured to surfaces such as walls and cabinets for ease of installation and maintenance. A protective frame 4 is provided at the lower end of the UPS body 1, providing additional physical protection for the UPS body and serving as a base for mounting a protective mechanism. The primary purpose of the protective mechanism is to mitigate or absorb impact forces caused by accidental collisions or vibrations, thereby protecting the UPS body 1. A base 5 is secured to the lower end of the protective frame 4 and serves as a mounting base for the other components of the protective mechanism. The combination of the slide 7 and slider 8 allows the first crossbar 9 to move horizontally, absorbing some of the energy in the event of an impact, reducing the direct impact force on the UPS body. The first crossbar 9 is fixedly connected to the side ends of the slider 8 and to the mounting plate 3, thus firmly integrating the entire protective mechanism with the UPS body. A buffering protection component is located at the lower end of the first crossbar 9. Its primary function is to further mitigate the impact force in the event of impact or vibration, thereby protecting the UPS body from damage.

[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 1-4 The buffer protection component includes a second cross frame 10, two mounting seats 11, two connecting rods 12 and a buffer assembly. The second cross frame 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 5. The two mounting seats 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper end of the second cross frame 10 and the lower end of the first cross frame 9. The two connecting rods 12 are respectively connected to the two mounting seats 11 through rotating shafts. The buffer assembly is arranged at the side end of the connecting rod 12 to achieve further buffering.

[0035] In this embodiment: the second cross frame 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 5 and serves as the basic structure for installing the buffer assembly. It provides a stable platform required for connecting the buffer assembly. Two mounting seats 11 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the second cross frame 10 and the lower end of the first cross frame 9 respectively. This design allows the buffer assembly to be effectively installed and can form a movable space between the first cross frame 9 and the second cross frame 10 so that the buffer assembly can play a role when impacted. The two connecting rods 12 are respectively connected to the two mounting seats 11 through rotating shafts. The design of the connecting rods 12 allows them to rotate in the direction of the impact force, which helps to absorb the impact force and convert it into rotational motion of the connecting rods 12. The buffer assembly is arranged at the side end of the connecting rod 12 to further buffer the impact force. The buffer assembly may include components such as a telescopic rod 13 and a spring 14, which work together to absorb the impact force and reduce the impact on the UPS body.

[0036] For details, please refer to Figure 1-4 The buffer assembly includes a telescopic rod 13 and a spring 14 . The telescopic rod 13 is rotatably connected to the side end of the connecting rod 12 through a rotating shaft, and the spring 14 is sleeved and connected to the telescopic rod 13 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the telescopic rod 13 is rotatably connected to the side end of the connecting rod 12 via a rotating shaft. This design allows the telescopic rod 13 to expand or contract when subjected to external forces, thereby absorbing the impact force. A spring 14 is sleeved and connected to the telescopic rod 13. The spring 14 provides an elastic restoring force. When the telescopic rod 13 expands or contracts, the spring 14 helps the telescopic rod 13 return to its original position and further absorbs any remaining energy. When the UPS body 1 is subjected to external impact or vibration, the first cross member 9 moves within the chute 7 via the slider 8 to absorb some of the impact force. Simultaneously, the connecting rod 12 rotates in the direction of the impact, driving the telescopic rod 13 to expand or contract. The expansion or contraction of the telescopic rod 13 causes the spring 14 to compress or expand, and the elasticity of the spring 14 further absorbs any remaining impact energy. After the impact force dissipates, the elastic restoring force of the spring 14 returns the telescopic rod 13 to its original position, completing the buffering process.

[0038] For details, please refer to Figure 1-4 One side of the active over-current cut-off UPS body 1 is fixedly connected to a display screen 16 , and the other side of the active over-current cut-off UPS body 1 is fixedly connected to a heat dissipation port 15 .

[0039] In this embodiment, a display screen 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the UPS body 1 and is used to display important data such as the UPS's operating status, power level, and alarm information. This is very important for monitoring the operating status of the UPS and can help users promptly identify potential problems and take appropriate measures. A heat dissipation vent 15 is fixedly connected to the other side of the UPS body 1 and is used to dissipate heat generated inside the UPS. The UPS generates a certain amount of heat during operation. If it is not dissipated in a timely manner, it may cause the internal temperature of the UPS to become too high, affecting the stability and service life of the UPS. The design of the heat dissipation vent helps to keep the internal temperature of the UPS within a safe range. The display screen 16 provides users with intuitive information feedback, such as the UPS's voltage, current, battery level, operating mode such as AC mode or battery mode, and any alarm information. This information is very useful for daily monitoring and troubleshooting. The heat dissipation vent 15 ensures that the electronic components inside the UPS will not be damaged due to overheating. The design of the heat dissipation vent usually takes into account the optimization of air flow to more effectively dissipate heat.

[0040] For details, please refer to Figure 1-4 A control switch 17 and a device interface 18 are provided at the side end of the active overcurrent cut-off UPS body 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the user can easily control the UPS's startup and shutdown via control switch 17, which is very convenient for daily use. Furthermore, in emergency situations, such as when a power outage is required, control switch 17 also provides the necessary means of operation. Device interfaces 18 allow the user to connect various devices to the UPS, ensuring that these devices continue to operate normally during power outages or other power supply issues. The number and type of interfaces can be determined based on the UPS's design and target market.

[0042] For details, please refer to Figure 1-4 The side end of the protection frame 4 is fixedly connected with a handle 6.

[0043] In this embodiment, handle 6 is fixedly attached to the side of the protective frame 4. Its main function is to provide a convenient grip, allowing the user to more easily move the entire UPS protective structure. The design of handle 6 takes into account ergonomic principles, making it more comfortable and safe to carry.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of the present invention are as follows: First, fix the bottom plate 2 to the lower end of the active overcurrent cut-off UPS body 1. Use bolts to connect the mounting plate 3 to the lower end of the bottom plate 2 to ensure a secure installation. Set the protective frame 4 to the lower end of the active overcurrent cut-off UPS body 1 to ensure it is correctly installed. Fix the base 5 to the lower end of the protective frame 4. Open a slide 7 at the side end of the protective frame 4 and ensure that the slider 8 can slide freely in the slide 7. Fix the first cross frame 9 to the side end of the slider 8 and connect it to the mounting plate 3. Fix the second cross frame 10 to the upper end of the base 5. Fix the two mounting seats 11 to the upper end of the second cross frame 10 and the lower end of the first cross frame 9 respectively. Connect the two connecting rods 12 to the two mounting seats 11 respectively via a rotating shaft. Rotate the telescopic rod 13 to connect it to the side end of the connecting rod 12 via the rotating shaft, and sleeve the spring 14 on the telescopic rod 13 to complete the installation of the buffer assembly. Confirm that all components have been correctly installed and check whether the connection is secure. Check the display 16 for normal operation to confirm the UPS's operating status. Turn on the UPS using the control switch 17 and ensure it is in standby mode. Connect the equipment to be protected to the UPS body 1 through the device interface 18. Monitor the operating status of the UPS body 1 and ensure that the heat dissipation vents 15 are unobstructed to maintain good heat dissipation. When the UPS needs to be moved, easily lift the entire protective structure using the handle 6 for transportation.
