Detailed Implementation
[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example
[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 This invention provides a technical solution: a lightning protection mechanism for a power distribution box, including a surge protector 5. The surge protector 5 mainly utilizes the characteristics of nonlinear components for lightning protection. During normal operation, its internal nonlinear components (such as zinc oxide varistors) are in a high-resistance state, allowing only a very small current to pass through, without affecting the normal power supply of the circuit. When a lightning strike generates a surge overvoltage, the component instantly changes to a low-resistance state, providing a low-impedance path for the surge current, allowing it to quickly dissipate into the ground, thereby limiting the voltage amplitude across the equipment and protecting the equipment from damage caused by lightning overvoltage. After the lightning strike, the component returns to a high-resistance state, and the circuit returns to normal operation. The surge protector 5 has a housing 2 on its back, with a wiring port 21 and a threaded hole 22 on the housing 2 to facilitate cable connection. A fixing box 1 is provided on the back of the housing 2, which facilitates the installation of a pop-out component 3. A pop-out component 3 is provided between the fixing box 1 and the housing 2, which is used to pop the housing 2 out a certain distance.

[0032] Cavity 31 is provided inside the fixed box 1, and the interior of cavity 31 facilitates the installation of spring 32;
[0033] Spring 32, one end of which is fixedly connected to the cavity 31, controls the resetting of the connecting plate 33;
[0034] A connecting plate 33 is connected inside the cavity 31, and the other end of the spring 32 is fixedly connected to the back of the connecting plate 33;
[0035] The connecting post 34 has one end fixedly connected to the front of the connecting plate 33. The connecting post 34 can pass through the partition plate 12 to connect the connecting plate 33 and the fixing plate 35.
[0036] The fixing plate 35 has one side fixedly connected to the end of the connecting post 34 away from the connecting plate 33, and the other side of the fixing plate 35 is fixedly connected to the back of the outer shell 2. The fixing plate 35 facilitates the movement of the outer shell 2.
[0037] The back of the connecting plate 33 is fixedly connected to a slide rail 332, which facilitates the sliding of the adjusting block 44.

[0040] The connecting plate 33, the limiting post 331 and the slide rail 332 are integrally formed, and the integrally formed structure is stable.
[0041] When installing the surge protector 5, if the wiring port 21 on the housing 2 is located directly below the power switch and it is inconvenient to connect the cable, the pop-out component 3 can be unfolded to facilitate the connection of the cable to the wiring port 21. The spring 32 resets the connecting plate 33, and the connecting plate 33 drives the connecting column 34 to move out of the cavity 31. The connecting column 34 drives the fixing plate 35 to move. The fixing plate 35 is fixedly connected to the housing 2. Therefore, the spring 32 causes the housing 2 to move outward a certain distance, so that the wiring port 21 on the housing 2 moves out of the position directly below the power switch, making it convenient for the wiring port 21 on the housing 2 to be connected to the cable.
