Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and more particularly to a surge protector. Background Technology

[0002] Surge protectors, also known as lightning arresters, are devices used to protect electronic equipment, instruments, and communication lines from damage caused by transient overvoltages. When a surge current or voltage spike suddenly occurs in an electrical circuit or communication line due to external interference, the surge protector can quickly conduct and divert the current, thus preventing damage to other equipment in the circuit. Surge protectors typically consist of a base and a surge protection module.

[0003] In existing technologies, during use, the connection between the surge protection module and the base is prone to instability, which can cause the surge protection module to fail and thus fail to provide effective protection for the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a surge protector to improve the stability of the connection between the surge protection module and the base.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a surge protector, which includes a base, a surge protection module, a slider, and a toggle plate. The base has a mounting groove, and a first limiting groove is provided on the first wall of the mounting groove. The surge protection module is inserted into the mounting groove. The slider is at least partially disposed within the surge protection module, and the slider is slidably connected to the surge protection module. The toggle plate is slidably disposed on the first side wall of the surge protection module, and the first side wall is positioned opposite to the first groove wall.

[0006] When the surge protector module is installed on the base, the portion of the slider outside the surge protector module is located within the first limiting groove to lock the surge protector module to the base. When the surge protector module is removed from the base, the lever can drive the slider to slide away from the base, allowing the slider to fully enter the surge protector module, thereby releasing the base from locking the surge protector module.

[0007] With the above design, the base is provided with a mounting slot, into which the surge protection module can be inserted to form a surge protector. A slider is provided that is slidably connected to the surge protection module, with a portion of the slider located within the surge protection module. When the surge protection module is installed into the base, the slider can be fully inserted into the surge protection module to avoid interference with the installation of the surge protection module due to any protruding portion of the slider.

[0008] A first limiting groove is set on the first groove wall of the mounting slot. When the slider corresponds to the position of the first limiting groove, part of the slider can enter the first limiting groove. In this way, the slider and the first limiting groove can limit the lightning protection module in the insertion direction, thereby locking the lightning protection module to the base. This increases the stability of the connection between the lightning protection module and the base, reduces the probability of the lightning protection module falling off the base when shaking or bumping occurs, and improves the reliability of the lightning protection module, thereby improving the reliability of the surge protector.

[0009] A lever is installed on the first side wall of the surge protection module. When the surge protection module needs to be removed from the base, the lever can be moved to allow the slider to fully enter the surge protection module, thereby unlocking the locked state between the surge protection module and the base. This makes it easier to remove the surge protection module from the base and reduces the difficulty of subsequent surge protection module maintenance.

[0010] In one possible design, the slider includes a guide surface, and the dial plate has a mounting hole. The portion of the slider outside the surge protection module passes through the mounting hole, and the wall of the mounting hole abuts against the guide surface.

[0011] With the above scheme, mounting holes are set on the dial plate and guide surfaces are set on the slider. As the slider moves toward the first limiting groove, part of the slider passes through the mounting holes, and the wall of the mounting holes abuts against the guide surfaces. When the dial plate is moved, the wall of the mounting holes can squeeze the guide surfaces, causing the slider to move away from the first limiting groove. Thus, the dial plate can be used to drive the slider to fully enter the lightning protection module.

[0012] In one possible design, a lever is provided on the part of the lever away from the mounting hole.

[0013] By incorporating a toggle block into the toggle plate using the above solution, the toggle plate becomes easier to operate. When movement is required, the toggle plate can be moved simply by toggling the toggle block, reducing the difficulty of using the toggle plate. This also makes it easier to remove the surge protection module from the base.

[0014] In one possible design, the slider and the surge protection module are connected via an elastic element. The elastic element is used to reset the slider after it has fully entered the surge protection module.

[0015] The above solution incorporates an elastic element between the slider and the surge protection module. As the lever moves the slider fully into the surge protection module, the elastic element stores energy. Once the slider aligns with the first limiting groove, the elastic element releases the energy and pushes the slider towards the first limiting groove. This achieves automatic locking between the slider and the first limiting groove, simplifying the process of fixing the surge protection module to the base. Furthermore, the elastic element allows the slider to automatically reset after fully entering the surge protection module, eliminating the need for manual removal.

[0016] In one possible design, the lightning protection module includes a bracket with a guide groove oriented toward a first limiting groove. A slider is slidably disposed within the guide groove.

[0017] The above solution provides support for the internal components of the surge protection module. A guide groove is provided on the bracket, which faces the first limiting groove. The slider can be installed inside the bracket and can enter the first limiting groove through the guide groove. The guide groove also guides the movement of the slider, improving its reliability and thus increasing the reliability of the fixation between the surge protection module and the base.

[0018] In one possible design, the bracket has a first limiting surface, and the portion of the slider located within the surge protection module has a second limiting surface. The first limiting surface abuts against the second limiting surface to restrict the slider's movement toward the first limiting groove.

[0019] By using the above solution, a first limiting surface is set on the bracket, and a second limiting surface is set on the part of the slider located inside the lightning protection module. The movement of the slider can be limited by the contact between the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface. This reduces the probability of the slider falling out of the bracket and improves the reliability of the slider, thereby improving the reliability of the lightning protection module.

[0020] In one possible design, the bracket contains a stop, and the elastic element is a spring. One end of the spring abuts against the stop, and the other end of the spring abuts against the slider.

[0021] The above scheme provides an installation position for the elastic element by setting a stop block inside the bracket. Furthermore, when the stop block is placed inside the bracket, the elastic element can also be installed inside the bracket, effectively utilizing the internal space of the bracket. A spring is chosen as the elastic element because it has good elastic deformation capability, a simple structure, and low manufacturing cost. This ensures the reliability of the elastic element while reducing subsequent maintenance costs, thereby lowering the operating cost of the surge protection module. By having the spring abut against the slider, the spring can drive the slider to move during the release of energy.

[0022] In one possible design, the slider has a second limiting groove on the side facing the spring. The end of the spring that abuts against the slider is located within the second limiting groove, and the end of the spring that abuts against the slider abuts against the groove wall of the second limiting groove.

[0023] With the above solution, when the spring and the slider abut against each other, the end of the spring that abuts against the slider is located in the second limiting groove. In this way, when the spring is compressed to store energy, the second limiting groove can limit the spring, reducing the probability of misalignment between the spring and the slider. Furthermore, the end of the spring that abuts against the slider abuts against the groove wall of the second limiting groove. When the spring is compressed to store energy, the groove wall of the second limiting groove can support the spring, reducing the probability of spring displacement during energy storage and increasing the reliability of the elastic component.

[0024] In one possible design, the surge protection module also includes a housing that is mounted on a bracket. A gap exists between the housing and the bracket, and a lever is clamped within this gap.

[0025] The above solution protects the bracket when the outer casing is placed over it, reducing the probability of damage. This reduces the maintenance costs of the surge protection module and consequently lowers the overall cost of the surge protector. By clamping the toggle plate within the gap between the outer casing and the bracket, the casing and bracket can limit its movement, eliminating the need for additional connecting structures on the casing or bracket. This reduces the manufacturing cost of the surge protection module and, consequently, lowers the production cost of the surge protector.

[0026] In one possible design, the surge protection module also includes a housing, with a toggle switch located on the side of the housing facing the first groove wall, which is the first sidewall.

[0027] With the above solution, the dial plate is located between the outer casing and the first groove wall, allowing it to be exposed outside the casing. This makes the operation of the dial plate more convenient, and when the dial plate is exposed outside the casing, its usage can be clearly observed. If the dial plate is damaged or worn out, it can be detected immediately and replaced, thus increasing the reliability of the surge protection module. Attached Figure Description

[0051] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the surge protector provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the base provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the lightning protection module provided in an embodiment of this application. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this application provides a surge protector, which includes a base 100, a surge protection module 200, a slider 300, and a toggle plate 400. The base 100 has a mounting groove 110, and a first limiting groove 111 is provided on the first wall of the mounting groove 110. The surge protection module 200 is inserted into the mounting groove 110. The slider 300 is at least partially disposed within the surge protection module 200, and the slider 300 is slidably connected to the surge protection module 200. The toggle plate 400 is slidably disposed on the first side wall of the surge protection module 200, and the first side wall is positioned opposite to the first groove wall.

[0053] When the surge protection module 200 is installed on the base 100, the portion of the slider 300 outside the surge protection module 200 is located within the first limiting groove 111, thereby locking the surge protection module 200 to the base 100. When the surge protection module 200 is removed from the base 100, the lever 400 can drive the slider 300 to slide away from the base 100, allowing the slider 300 to fully enter the surge protection module 200, thereby releasing the base 100 from locking the surge protection module 200.

[0054] The surge protection module 200 is a device used to protect electrical and electronic equipment from surge interference caused by lightning. A connecting plate may be provided at the bottom of the mounting slot 110. The surge protection module 200 has pins facing the bottom of the mounting slot 110, and these pins can be inserted into the connecting plate. After the surge protection module 200 is inserted into the mounting slot 110, it can be used in conjunction with the base 100. Depending on the specifications, one or more surge protection modules 200 may be used.

[0055] The base 100 can be U-shaped, and the groove in the U-shape is the mounting groove 110 of the base 100. The mounting groove 110 can include a first groove wall. The first limiting groove 111 can be a groove provided on the first groove wall. The mounting groove 110 can also include a second groove wall, which is opposite to the first groove wall. The first limiting groove 111 can be provided only on the second groove wall, or one first limiting groove 111 can be provided on both the first and second groove walls. The first limiting groove 111 can limit the slider 300 in the insertion direction of the surge protection module 200. When the first limiting groove 111 is provided only on the first or second groove wall, one slider 300 can be provided at the corresponding position of the first limiting groove 111. When the first limiting groove 111 is provided on both the first and second groove walls, two sliders 300 corresponding to the first limiting groove 111 can be provided respectively. For ease of description, the following explanation only uses the first limiting groove 111 provided on the first groove wall as an example.

[0056] The slider 300 can be a block structure and can move along the opening direction of the first limiting groove 111. The slider 300 may include a limiting surface. When the slider 300 moves towards the first limiting groove 111, it can partially enter the first limiting groove 111. At this time, the limiting surface abuts against the groove wall of the first limiting groove 111, while the portion of the slider 300 not entering the first limiting groove 111 can be located within the surge protection module 200. Thus, the first limiting groove 111 can limit the slider 300 in the insertion direction of the surge protection module 200, and the slider 300 can limit the surge protection module 200 in the insertion direction of the surge protection module 200, thereby locking the surge protection module 200 to the base 100.

[0057] The lever 400 can be a plate-like structure and can be slidably connected to the first side wall of the surge protection module 200. Because the first side wall is opposite to the first groove wall, when the lever 400 is set on the first side wall, the lever 400 is also opposite to the first groove wall. Moving the lever 400 can move the slider 300 away from the first limiting groove 111. When it moves to a certain extent, the slider 300 can be fully inserted into the surge protection module 200. When the slider 300 is fully inserted into the surge protection module 200, the locking state between the surge protection module 200 and the base 100 is released, and the surge protection module 200 can then be pulled out from the base 100.

[0058] In summary, the base 100 is provided with a mounting slot 110, into which the surge protection module 200 can be inserted to form a surge protector. A slider 300 is provided to slidably connect with the surge protection module 200, and a portion of the slider 300 is disposed within the surge protection module 200. When the surge protection module 200 is installed into the base 100, the slider 300 can be fully inserted into the surge protection module 200 to avoid interference with the installation of the surge protection module 200 caused by the portion of the slider 300 protruding from the surge protection module 200.

[0059] A first limiting groove 111 is provided on the first groove wall of the mounting groove 110. When the slider 300 corresponds to the position of the first limiting groove 111, part of the slider 300 can enter into the first limiting groove 111. In this way, through the cooperation of the slider 300 and the first limiting groove 111, the surge protection module 200 can be limited in the insertion direction of the surge protection module 200, thereby locking the surge protection module 200 to the base 100. This increases the stability of the connection between the surge protection module 200 and the base 100, reduces the probability of the surge protection module 200 falling off the base 100 when shaking or bumping occurs, and improves the reliability of the surge protection module 200, thereby improving the reliability of the surge protector.

[0060] A lever 400 is provided on the first side wall of the surge protection module 200. When the surge protection module 200 needs to be removed from the base 100, the lever 400 can be moved to allow the slider 300 to fully enter the surge protection module 200, thereby unlocking the locked state between the surge protection module 200 and the base 100. This makes it easier to remove the surge protection module 200 from the base 100 and reduces the difficulty of subsequent maintenance of the surge protection module 200.

[0061] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the dial provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the slider provided in an embodiment of this application from one viewpoint. Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the slider 300 includes a guide surface 310, and the dial plate 400 is provided with a mounting hole 410. The portion of the slider 300 outside the lightning protection module 200 passes through the mounting hole 410, and the wall of the mounting hole 410 abuts against the guide surface 310.

[0062] The guide surface 310 can be an inclined or arc-shaped surface that faces the bottom of the mounting groove 110 towards the slider 300. The mounting hole 410 can be a through hole provided on the lever 400, and the mounting hole 410 can be a circular hole or a rectangular hole, etc. When the slider 300 is located in the first limiting groove 111, the hole wall of the mounting hole 410 can abut against the guide surface 310. When the slider 300 moves away from the first limiting groove 111, the hole wall of the mounting hole 410 can also abut against the guide surface 310 until the slider 300 is completely inserted into the lightning protection module 200, at which point the hole wall of the mounting hole 410 and the guide surface 310 lose their abutment state.

[0063] With the above configuration, mounting holes 410 are provided on the dial plate 400, and guide surfaces 310 are provided on the slider 300. During the movement of the slider 300 toward the first limiting groove 111, part of the slider 300 passes through the mounting holes 410. At the same time, the wall of the mounting holes 410 abuts against the guide surfaces 310. When the dial plate 400 is moved, the wall of the mounting holes 410 can squeeze the guide surfaces 310, causing the slider 300 to move away from the first limiting groove 111. Thus, the dial plate 400 can be used to drive the slider 300 to completely enter the lightning protection module 200.

[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, a lever block 420 is provided at the part of the lever plate 400 away from the mounting hole 410.

[0065] The lever 420 can be a protruding structure of the lever 400 facing the first groove wall, and the lever 420 can be fixedly mounted on the lever 400. The side wall of the lever 420 facing the first groove wall can be provided with grooves to increase the friction of the surface of the lever 420. In this way, when the lever 420 is moved by moving the lever 420, it is not only easier to move, but also reduces the probability of the lever 420 slipping out of the hand due to its smooth surface, thus increasing the reliability of the lever 400.

[0066] After the surge protection module 200 is installed in the base 100, the toggle block 420 can protrude from the mounting slot 110. In this way, when it is necessary to remove the surge protection module 200 from the base 100, the toggle block 420 can be moved more easily, thereby causing the toggle plate 400 to move.

[0067] With the above-described configuration, the toggle block 420 on the toggle plate 400 makes the toggle plate 400 easier to operate. When the toggle plate 400 needs to be moved, it can be moved by toggling the toggle block 420, reducing the difficulty of using the toggle plate 400. This also makes it easier to remove the surge protection module 200 from the base 100.

[0068] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the lightning protection module provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the slider 300 is connected to the surge protection module 200 via an elastic element 500. The elastic element 500 is used to reset the slider 300 after it has fully entered the surge protection module 200.

[0069] One end of the elastic element 500 is connected to the lightning protection module 200, and the other end of the elastic element 500 is connected to the slider 300.

[0070] When the slider 300 is fully inside the lightning protection module 200, the spring is in an energy storage state. When the slider 300 corresponds to the position of the first limiting groove 111, the elastic element 500 releases energy and pushes the slider 300, causing the slider 300 to move toward the first limiting groove 111, so that part of the slider 300 can enter the first limiting groove 111.

[0071] With the above configuration, an elastic element 500 is provided between the slider 300 and the surge protection module 200. When the lever 400 moves the slider 300 to fully enter the surge protection module 200, the elastic element 500 stores energy. When the slider 300 aligns with the first limiting groove 111, the elastic element 500 releases its energy and pushes the slider 300 towards the first limiting groove 111. This achieves automatic locking between the slider 300 and the first limiting groove 111, simplifying the process of fixing the surge protection module 200 to the base 100. Furthermore, the elastic element 500 allows the slider 300 to automatically reset after fully entering the surge protection module 200, eliminating the need for manual removal of the slider 300 from the surge protection module 200.

[0072] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the support structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the lightning protection module 200 includes a bracket 210, which has a guide groove 211 facing the first limiting groove 111. The slider 300 is slidably disposed within the guide groove 211.

[0073] The bracket 210 has an internal installation space where all internal components of the surge protection module 200 can be housed. The bracket 210 has a through groove facing the first limiting groove 111, which can be a guide groove 211. The slider 300 can slide along the guide groove 211. When the slider 300 abuts against the wall of the first limiting groove 111, part of the slider 300 can be located within the installation space of the bracket 210. When the slider 300 is fully inserted into the surge protection module 200, it can be entirely located within the installation space of the bracket 210. Since the installation space of the bracket 210 is not completely filled, the slider 300 can be positioned in the gaps within the installation space. This arrangement avoids interfering with the internal components of the surge protection module 200 and effectively utilizes the internal installation space of the bracket 210.

[0074] With the above configuration, the bracket 210 can support the internal components of the surge protection module 200. The bracket 210 is provided with a guide groove 211 facing the first limiting groove 111, so that the slider 300 can be installed in the bracket 210. The slider 300 can enter the first limiting groove 111 through the guide groove 211. The guide groove 211 can also guide the movement of the slider 300, improving the reliability of the slider 300 and thus increasing the reliability of the fixation between the surge protection module 200 and the base 100.

[0075] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the bracket 210 has a first limiting surface, and the portion of the slider 300 located within the lightning protection module 200 has a second limiting surface. The first limiting surface and the second limiting surface abut against each other to restrict the slider 300 from moving toward the first limiting groove 111.

[0076] The bracket 210 may have a groove inside, forming a stepped surface inside the bracket 210 in the moving direction of the slider 300. This stepped surface can serve as the first limiting surface. Alternatively, the bracket 210 may have a protruding structure inside, with the side wall of the protruding structure facing the slider 300 serving as the first limiting surface. Or, the inner wall of the bracket 210 may serve as the first limiting surface.

[0077] The portion of the slider 300 located within the lightning protection module 200 has a protruding structure, and the sidewall of the protruding structure facing the first limiting surface can be the second limiting surface.

[0078] As the slider 300 moves toward the first limiting groove 111, the first limiting surface can abut against the second limiting surface. When the slider 300 is located in the first limiting groove 111, the bottom of the first limiting groove 111 can limit the movement of the slider 300.

[0079] The groove wall of the first limiting groove 111 facing the slider 300 is the bottom of the first limiting groove 111. When part of the slider 300 is located in the first limiting groove 111, one end of the slider 300 facing the first limiting groove 111 can abut against the bottom of the first limiting groove 111. In this way, the bottom of the first limiting groove 111 can limit the movement of the slider 300. When the bottom of the first limiting groove 111 cannot limit the movement of the slider 300, the first limiting surface can abut against the second limiting surface, which can limit the movement of the slider 300.

[0080] With the above configuration, a first limiting surface is provided on the bracket 210, and a second limiting surface is provided on the part of the slider 300 located inside the lightning protection module 200. The movement of the slider 300 can be limited by the contact between the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface. This reduces the probability of the slider 300 falling out of the bracket 210, improves the reliability of the slider 300, and thus improves the reliability of the lightning protection module 200.

[0081] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the bracket 210 has a stop 212 inside, and the elastic element 500 is a spring. One end of the spring abuts against the stop 212, and the other end of the spring abuts against the slider 300.

[0082] The stop block 212 can be a protrusion structure provided within the bracket 210. The stop block 212 can be positioned opposite to the guide groove 211. Furthermore, a groove can be provided on the side wall of the stop block 212 facing the guide groove 211. When the spring abuts against the stop block 212, the end of the spring abutting against the stop block 212 can be located within this groove. This design allows the groove wall to support the spring during energy storage, reducing the probability of spring displacement during energy storage and increasing the reliability of the elastic element 500.

[0083] With the above configuration, the stop 212 inside the bracket 210 provides an installation position for the elastic element 500. Furthermore, when the stop 212 is placed inside the bracket 210, the elastic element 500 can also be placed inside the bracket 210, thus effectively utilizing the internal space of the bracket 210. A spring is chosen as the elastic element 500 because it has good elastic deformation capability, a relatively simple structure, and low manufacturing cost. This ensures the reliability of the elastic element 500 while reducing its subsequent maintenance costs, thereby lowering the operating cost of the surge protection module 200. By having the spring abut against the slider 300, the spring can drive the slider 300 to move during the release of energy.

[0084] Figure 8This is a schematic diagram of the slider provided in an embodiment of this application from another perspective. (See diagram below.) Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the slider 300 has a second limiting groove 320 on the side facing the spring. The end of the spring that abuts against the slider 300 is located in the second limiting groove 320, and the end of the spring that abuts against the slider 300 abuts against the groove wall of the second limiting groove 320.

[0085] The second limiting groove 320 can be a groove provided on the side of the slider 300 facing the spring, or the second limiting groove 320 can be the gap between two protruding structures provided on the side of the slider 300 facing the spring.

[0086] With the above configuration, when the spring abuts against the slider 300, the end of the spring that abuts against the slider 300 is located within the second limiting groove 320. In this way, when the spring is compressed to store energy, the second limiting groove 320 can limit the spring, reducing the probability of misalignment between the spring and the slider 300. Furthermore, the end of the spring that abuts against the slider 300 abuts against the groove wall of the second limiting groove 320. When the spring is compressed to store energy, the groove wall of the second limiting groove 320 can support the spring, reducing the probability of spring shifting during energy storage and increasing the reliability of the elastic element 500.

[0087] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the surge protection module 200 also includes a housing 600, which is mounted on the bracket 210. There is a gap between the housing 600 and the bracket 210, and the lever 400 is clamped in the gap.

[0088] The housing 600 has an internal installation space. When the housing 600 is placed over the bracket 210, it protects the bracket 210 and the internal components of the surge protection module 200. The bracket 210 has a locking block, and the housing 600 has a locking slot. When the housing 600 is placed over the bracket 210, the locking block and the locking slot cooperate to fix the housing 600 to the bracket 210.

[0089] A gap exists between the inner wall of the outer casing 600 and the side wall of the bracket 210. The lever 400 is disposed within this gap, and the lever 400 slides in contact with both the inner wall of the outer casing 600 and the side wall of the bracket 210. A through groove is provided at the corresponding position of the outer casing 600 and the lever 420. When the lever 400 is located within the gap, the lever 420 can protrude from the outer casing 600 through the through groove, so that the lever 400 can be moved by moving the lever 420 outside the outer casing 600.

[0090] With the above configuration, the housing 600, when enclosing the bracket 210, can protect the bracket 210, reducing the probability of damage to the bracket 210. This reduces the maintenance costs of the surge protection module 200, thereby lowering the operating cost of the surge protector. By clamping the toggle plate 400 within the gap between the housing 600 and the bracket 210, the housing 600 and bracket 210 can limit the toggle plate 400, eliminating the need for additional connection structures on the housing 600 or bracket 210 to connect the toggle plate 400. This reduces the manufacturing cost of the surge protection module 200, thus lowering the production cost of the surge protector.

[0091] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the lightning protection module 200 also includes a housing 600, and a toggle plate 400 is disposed on the side of the housing 600 facing the first groove wall, which is the first side wall.

[0092] The outer casing 600 has a connecting structure on the side facing the first groove wall, and the lever 400 is slidably connected to the connecting structure.

[0093] With the above configuration, the toggle plate 400 is located between the outer casing 600 and the first groove wall, allowing the toggle plate 400 to be exposed outside the outer casing 600. This makes the operation of the toggle plate 400 more convenient. Furthermore, when the toggle plate 400 is exposed outside the outer casing 600, its usage can be clearly observed. If the toggle plate 400 is damaged or worn out, it can be detected immediately and replaced. This increases the reliability of the surge protection module 200.
