Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0026] This application presents an innovative modular power monitoring terminal block designed to significantly improve the monitoring efficiency and operational safety of power systems, while also ensuring ease of installation and system scalability. This device integrates advanced modular concepts and intelligent technologies, providing a novel solution for modern power management.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 5, the specific solution of the embodiment is as follows: A modular power monitoring terminal block includes a fixed guide rail 2 and a plurality of terminals 1 disposed on the fixed guide rail 2. The guide rail includes a straight section 21 and a snap-fit section 22 disposed on the upper and lower sides of the straight section 21. The upper end of the terminal 1 is provided with an upper wiring port 11, the lower end of the terminal 1 is provided with a lower wiring port 12, the middle part of the terminal 1 is provided with a detection module 13, and the back of the terminal 1 is provided with a slot 3 adapted to the fixed guide rail 2.
[0028] In this embodiment, terminal 1 is modularly designed. Through the design of slot 3 and fixed rail 2, terminal 1 can be quickly installed on the rail, realizing rapid installation and rapid expansion. Terminal 1 can also be quickly removed from fixed rail 2. At the same time, power monitoring function is integrated on terminal 1, which improves the safety and efficiency of the power system.
[0029] In this embodiment, the fixed guide rail 2 serves as the supporting framework of the entire system, and its design balances stability and ease of use. The guide rail consists of a straight section 21 and snap-fit sections 22 located on its upper and lower sides. The straight section 21 provides a stable mounting reference, while the snap-fit sections 22, through a tight fit with the slots 3 on the back of the terminal 1, enable quick installation and removal of the terminal 1. This design not only simplifies the installation process but also allows users to flexibly increase or decrease the number of terminals 1 according to actual needs, greatly facilitating the expansion and upgrading of the power system.
[0030] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the straight section 21 serves as the main body of the guide rail. Multiple fixing holes 23 are spaced apart along the length of the straight section 21 in the middle. The design of these fixing holes 23 allows installers to easily fix the guide rail to the preset installation position using screws, ensuring the stability of the entire system.
[0031] Recessed portions 211 are provided on both sides of the straight portion 21 located at the fixing hole 23 along the length of the straight portion 21, providing additional space for wiring, heat dissipation, etc., and further improving the practicality of the design.
[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the angle between the snap-fit portion 22 and the straight portion 21 is carefully calculated and ranges from 80° to 100°. This design ensures the stable installation of the terminal 1 on the guide rail while avoiding installation difficulties caused by excessively large or small angles. The tight contact between the snap-fit portion 22 and the inner wall of the slot 3 effectively prevents the terminal 1 from falling off due to vibration or external force, thereby ensuring the long-term stable operation of the system.
[0033] To further improve the durability and safety of the guide rail, triangular-section limiting ribs 221 are provided at the external corners of the straight section 21 and the locking section 22. This structure enhances the guide rail's resistance to deformation, allowing it to maintain its original shape even under significant external forces, thus extending its service life.
[0034] In addition, a bend is provided in the middle of the snap-fit part 22 away from the straight part 21. A reinforcing rib 222 is provided at the inside corner of the bend along the length of the snap-fit part 22, and the outside corner of the bend is a rounded corner. This structure further enhances the structural strength of the snap-fit part 22. At the same time, the rounded corner design reduces stress concentration and improves the overall durability and safety.
[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the inner top and bottom walls of the slot 3 are provided with reserved slots that are compatible with the snap-fit part 22, thereby ensuring the precise positioning and stable installation of the terminal 1 on the guide rail, and improving the convenience and reliability of installation.
[0036] A communication interface is provided at the top of terminal 1, which enables terminal 1 to easily connect to the network, realize remote data transmission and sharing, facilitate data communication between terminal 1 and external devices or systems, realize remote monitoring and management, and improve the intelligence level of the system.
[0037] In this embodiment, docking holes 14 are provided on both the left and right sides of terminal 1, which facilitates the connection and expansion between multiple terminals 1. By aligning and fixing the docking holes 14 with the connecting post 4, a power monitoring system that meets different needs can be easily constructed.
[0038] The detection module 13 is embedded in the middle of terminal 1, and this embedded detection module 13 is one of the core highlights of this technology. The detection module 13 can be flexibly configured as any one or more combinations of current detection module 13, voltage detection module 13, and power detection module 13, enabling real-time monitoring of power system parameters and providing crucial data support for the safe and stable operation of the system. Furthermore, the detection module 13 integrates a communication module and a data storage module. The communication module allows terminal 1 to easily communicate with external devices or systems, enabling remote monitoring and management and improving the system's intelligence level. The data storage module records historical data for subsequent analysis and troubleshooting. The air switch provides additional safety protection, effectively preventing equipment damage or fire accidents caused by overload or short circuit.
[0039] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: The modular power monitoring terminal block achieves rapid installation and disassembly through terminals 1 with slots 3 and fixed rails 2 equipped with snap-fit parts 22. The straight part 21 of the rail provides a stable installation reference and is fixed in a preset position through fixing holes 23. The snap-fit parts 22 and slots 3 fit tightly to ensure that the terminals 1 are secure and do not fall off. The detection module 13 embedded in the middle of the terminal 1 monitors the power system parameters in real time and realizes remote data transmission and monitoring through the integrated communication module. At the same time, the docking holes 14 of the terminal 1 are designed to facilitate the connection and expansion between multiple terminals 1. The overall design improves the safety, efficiency and intelligence level of the power system.
