[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The non-standard power distribution box with optimized power distribution shown includes a vertical box body, which is divided into an upper space 1 and a lower space 2 that are connected vertically. The upper space 1 is equipped with a power output unit 3, and the lower space 2 is equipped with a lead-acid battery 4.

[0020] The input terminal of the power supply output unit 3 is a three-phase four-wire input interface 5, with an input voltage of 220V / 380V. The input terminal connects to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which in turn connects to six output interfaces 6, each with an output voltage of 220V. The input power supply is connected to the UPS to ensure uninterrupted power supply, guaranteeing continuous power even in the event of a main power outage. The UPS converts the input voltage to 220V and outputs it to the six AC220V output interfaces 6. Specifically, the input interface 5 is located on the panel of the upper space 1, and the six output interfaces 6 are arranged in two groups on the upper space 1 panel. Each output interface is independently connected to a circuit breaker 11, which is installed on the inside of the panel of the upper space 1. The circuit breaker 11 has short-circuit and overload protection to prevent damage to the equipment due to short circuits or overloads. Furthermore, a residual current device (RCD) is integrated to ensure user safety.

[0021] A charging controller 7 is connected to the lead-acid battery 4. The charging controller 7 is connected to the control terminal of the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) 8, and the lead-acid battery 4 is connected to the inverter of the UPS 8. The lead-acid battery 4 in the lower space 2 is also connected to the control terminal of the UPS via the charging controller 7, and is simultaneously connected to the inverter of the UPS. The charging controller 7 ensures that the lead-acid battery is effectively charged when the main power supply is sufficient. When power from the lead-acid battery is needed, the circuit is switched via the UPS inverter.

[0022] A power monitoring module 9 is connected to the lead-acid battery 4 and the uninterruptible power supply 8. A display screen 10 is connected to the power monitoring module 9; the display screen 10 is embedded in the panel of the upper space 1 of the enclosure. The non-standard distribution box also includes a manual switching button 13, which is also embedded in the panel of the upper space 1 of the enclosure. The manual switching button is connected between the input terminal of the power output unit 3 and the uninterruptible power supply 8. The display screen 10, embedded in the panel of the upper space 1, provides intuitive power information display and fault indication. The manual switching button is also embedded in the panel of the upper space 1 for convenient user operation. Users can use the manual switching button to switch power supply to the lead-acid battery 4 when the main power supply fails, ensuring continued power supply to critical equipment. The power monitoring module 9, connected to both the lead-acid battery 4 and the UPS, collects power information and displays the current total power and power consumption of each output terminal on the display screen 10.

[0023] For example, power supply output unit 3 is implemented using independent high-frequency switching power supply modules. Each module is responsible for converting the input AC power into a stable DC power output, which is then supplied to each output interface through a common DC bus. Each module can independently perform overload protection to ensure stable system operation. High-frequency switching power supply modules, such as the RHT22005, can be used, but are not limited to this module.

[0024] The charging controller 7 uses a specially designed charging management IC, which monitors the battery's charging status and adjusts the charging current to prevent overcharging and over-discharging. Furthermore, the charging controller can communicate with a host computer via a communication interface to achieve real-time monitoring of the charging status. For lead-acid battery charging control, Battery Management Systems (BMS) integrated circuits, such as the Q24050 or BQ24060, are used. These ICs provide battery charging control, protection, and status monitoring functions.

[0025] The power monitoring module 9 uses a dedicated power monitoring IC. This IC can monitor parameters such as battery voltage, current, and temperature in real time and transmit these data to a host computer via a communication interface for real-time monitoring and display. Furthermore, the power monitoring module can adjust the charging and discharging currents based on the battery's charging and discharging states to improve battery lifespan. It uses battery power monitoring ICs such as ON Semiconductor's MAX1232 or Analog Devices' ADM6315. These ICs can monitor battery voltage, current, and temperature, and provide fault protection and status indication.

[0026] Ventilation openings 12 are provided on the panels of two opposite sides of the upper space 1 to ensure that the internal components do not overheat. Meanwhile, the lower space 2, where the lead-acid battery 4 is located, is an installation space with four open sides formed by four columns.

[0027] This utility model ensures efficient utilization and conversion of electrical energy by using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) 8 and a lead-acid battery 4. Its multiple output interfaces allow for future integration with new energy devices, adapting to load changes and expansion needs. It also features short-circuit protection, overload protection, and leakage protection, improving electrical safety. An intuitive power monitoring display screen 10 and a user-friendly interface reduce the difficulty of operation and maintenance. As a customized design based on specific applications or user needs, it provides special power management and protection functions. Through these design features, this non-standard distribution box not only optimizes power distribution but also enhances overall safety, reliability, and user experience.

[0028] The above embodiments are not intended to limit the present utility model, nor is the present utility model limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model are also within the protection scope of the present utility model.
