[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 4, this utility model provides an embodiment of a conveniently installed PDU assembly, including a PDU assembly housing 1. The PDU assembly housing 1 is used to install various components and is the base of the entire device. An installation mechanism 2 is provided on the PDU assembly housing 1. The installation mechanism 2 includes an installation plate 201. A T-slot 202 is opened inside the installation plate 201. A T-block 203 is slidably connected inside the T-slot 202, so that the T-block 203 can move along the inside of the T-slot 202, thereby achieving the effect of vertically changing the position of the fastening plate 204 and changing the position of the bolt slot opened on the fastening plate 204. The fastening plate 204 is fixedly connected to the T-block 203. The fastening plate 204 is opened with bolt slots. Bolts pass through the fastening plate 204 and are fixed to the mounting holes opened on the cabinet, thereby achieving the effect of installing and fixing the PDU assembly housing 1.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1-3, a transmission mechanism 3 is provided on the PDU component housing 1. The transmission mechanism 3 includes a threaded rod A301. The two ends of the threaded rod A301 are rotatably connected to the interior of the PDU component housing 1, so that the PDU component housing 1 provides support for the threaded rod A301. A concave frame 303 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod A301. By rotating the threaded rod A301, the threaded rod A301 drives the concave frame 303 to move laterally. A guide rod 305 is slidably connected through the interior of the concave frame 303. The design of the guide rod 305 ensures the stability of the concave frame 303 during lateral movement. The two ends of the guide rod 305 are fixedly connected to the interior of the PDU component housing 1, so that the PDU component housing 1 provides support and fixation for the guide rod 305. The outer side of the concave frame 303 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting plate 201, so that the mounting plate 201 moves laterally at the same time during the lateral movement of the concave frame 303.

[0031] Referring to Figures 3, 5, and 6, a threaded rod B302 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the PDU assembly housing 1, providing support for the threaded rod B302. The threads on the threaded rod B302 are opposite to those on the threaded rod A301. An inner rod 304 is slidably connected through the inner wall of the threaded rod A301, allowing the inner rod 304 to move along the interior of the threaded rod A301. A rectangular groove 307 is provided inside the threaded rod A301. A rectangular block 308 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner rod 304. The outer wall of the rectangular block 308 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove 307, so that when the inner rod 304 rotates, the rectangular block 308, in conjunction with this, drives the threaded rod A301 to rotate simultaneously.

[0032] Referring to Figures 3, 5, and 6, one end of the inner rod 304 is elastically connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod A301 via a spring 306. One end of the spring 306 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod A301, and the other end of the spring 306 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner rod 304. The design of the spring A306 ensures that the conical plug 309 remains separated from the slot 310 when the inner rod 304 is not pressed. The other end of the inner rod 304 is fixedly connected to the conical plug 309, thus keeping the inner rod 304... 04 During the movement, the conical plug 309 moves simultaneously. As shown in Figure 6, it can be clearly seen that the outer wall of the conical plug 309 is fixedly connected with a locking block. During the process of the conical plug 309 being inserted into the slot 310, the uneven locking block design causes the slot 310 and the threaded rod B302 to rotate simultaneously when the conical plug 309 rotates. The threaded rod B302 has a slot 310, and the inner wall of the slot 310 is inserted into the outer wall of the conical plug 309.

[0033] Working principle: During the installation of the PDU component housing 1, if the bolt holes on the fastening plate 204 are not vertically aligned with the mounting holes, the position of the fastening plate 204 is moved, causing the fastening plate 204 to move the T-block 203 along the inner wall of the T-slot 202, thereby changing the vertical position of the fastening plate 204 and adjusting its position to maintain the alignment of the bolt holes with the mounting holes.

[0034] Meanwhile, considering that the bolt holes and mounting holes are not aligned laterally, the operator can press the inner rod 304 inward to move it laterally along the inner wall of the threaded rod A301. This allows the tapered plug 309 at the other end of the inner rod 304 to engage with the slot 310 inside the threaded rod B302. Then, by rotating the threaded rod A301, the threaded rod A301 drives the threaded rod B302 to rotate simultaneously. This causes the threaded rods A301 and B302 to move the two sets of mounting plates 201 laterally at the same time, thereby changing the lateral position of the bolt holes on the two sets of mounting plates 201 and making lateral adjustment more convenient.

[0035] At the same time, the position of a set of mounting plates 201 can be adjusted individually without pressing the inner rod 304. The purpose of adjusting the lateral position of a single set of mounting plates 201 can be achieved by directly rotating the inner rod 304 or by rotating the threaded rod B302 alone. This further improves the adaptability of the device. When faced with two different situations, such as simultaneous adjustment and individual adjustment, the corresponding processing method can be selected to quickly and conveniently solve the adjustment problem.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
