Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power supply technology, specifically to an output socket structure and a power supply device. Background Technology

[0002] A power supply is a power supply unit used in computer cases such as desktops, workstations, and servers. It mainly includes a casing and an output socket. The output socket mainly includes an output motherboard, an output board soldered on the output motherboard, and an output connector soldered on the output board.

[0003] The existing output socket connection structure mainly adopts the following two methods: 1. First, the output connector is soldered onto the output board, then the output board is soldered onto the output main board, and finally the output board and the output main board are fixed in the housing with screws.

[0004] 2. First, solder the output connector onto the output board, then electrically connect the output board to the output main board via a connecting cable, and finally use screws to fix the output board and the output main board into the housing.

[0005] Both of the above output socket connection structures require the use of an output board and screws to fix them to the outer casing. The method of screw rotation also determines the required installation time; therefore, the more screws there are, the slower the installation and the lower the work efficiency. In Europe and America, repair costs are calculated relative to the number of screws a technician needs to remove and install. The screw installation method dictates that installing or removing screws requires a considerable amount of time; the more screws there are, the longer the installation or removal time.

[0006] In summary, the existing output sockets have complex connection structures, complicated assembly processes, and require a large amount of materials, resulting in low production efficiency and high production costs.

[0007] In view of this, it is necessary to improve the existing output socket structure and power supply device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
