Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power distribution equipment technology, and in particular to an electrical control module and power distribution equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional power distribution equipment, independently configured functional modules and communication modules are typically electrically connected to achieve automated control. In related technologies, wires are commonly used to connect the functional and communication modules. This is particularly problematic when there is a significant distance between the two modules. However, due to space constraints in the power distribution equipment and the long wiring harnesses connecting the functional and communication modules, the wiring becomes messy and difficult to route during production and installation, resulting in low assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides an electrical control module and power distribution equipment to improve the technical problems of difficult assembly and low assembly efficiency of existing power distribution equipment.

[0004] One embodiment of this application provides an electrical control module. The electrical control module is applied to power distribution equipment. The electrical control module includes an electrical connection component and a control management component. The electrical connection component includes a conductive substrate, a first conductive element, and a second conductive element. The first and second conductive elements are spaced apart on the conductive substrate, and an assembly space is formed between the first and second conductive elements. The control management component includes a first functional element, a second functional element, and a communication processing element. The first functional element is electrically connected to the first conductive element, the communication processing element is electrically connected to the second conductive element, and the second functional element is installed in the assembly space and covers the conductive substrate.

[0005] In the aforementioned electrical control module, production and installation personnel only need to electrically connect the first functional component to the first conductive component and the communication processing component to the second conductive component to achieve electrical connection between the first functional component and the communication processing component. This eliminates complex wiring steps, simplifies wiring methods, and improves the assembly efficiency of the power distribution equipment. Furthermore, since the second functional component is installed within the assembly space and covers the conductive substrate, it can conceal the electrical connection structure (specifically, the conductive substrate) between the first functional component and the communication processing component, improving the overall neatness of the electrical control module and thus alleviating the problem of messy internal wiring in the power distribution equipment.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the first conductive element is provided with a first plug-in terminal, the second conductive element is provided with a second plug-in terminal, the first functional element is provided with a third plug-in terminal, and the communication processing element is provided with a fourth plug-in terminal. When the first functional element and the communication processing element are electrically connected, the first plug-in terminal and the third plug-in terminal are plugged in and engaged, and the second plug-in terminal and the fourth plug-in terminal are plugged in and engaged.

[0007] By adopting a plug-in terminal electrical connection method, firstly, it simplifies the connection process, allowing production and installation personnel to directly plug the first plug-in terminal into the third plug-in terminal, and the second plug-in terminal into the fourth plug-in terminal; secondly, it reduces the subsequent maintenance costs of the electrical control module. For example, if the third plug-in terminal in the first functional component becomes worn or damaged after long-term use, the production and installation personnel only need to replace the third plug-in terminal in the first functional component, without having to replace the entire first functional component.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the conductive substrate is provided with a first guide groove located on the periphery of the first plug terminal. The first functional component is provided with a first guide rib configured to slide along the first guide groove when the third plug terminal is plugged into the first plug terminal. The conductive substrate is provided with a second guide groove located on the periphery of the second plug terminal. The communication processing component is provided with a second guide rib configured to slide along the second guide groove when the fourth plug terminal is plugged into the second plug terminal.

[0009] The cooperation between the first guide rib and the first guide groove facilitates floating assembly between the first functional component and the electrical connection assembly. Similarly, the cooperation between the second guide rib and the second guide groove facilitates floating assembly between the communication processing component and the electrical connection assembly. This improves the assembly accuracy of both the first functional component and the communication processing component, thereby reducing the risk of interference damage to the components due to assembly errors.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the first plug-in terminal is provided with a first alignment hole, and the third plug-in terminal is provided with a first alignment portion. The first alignment hole and the first alignment portion engage to constrain the relative positions of the first plug-in terminal and the third plug-in terminal. The second plug-in terminal is provided with a second alignment hole, and the fourth plug-in terminal is provided with a second alignment portion. The second alignment hole and the second alignment portion engage to constrain the relative positions of the second plug-in terminal and the fourth plug-in terminal.

[0011] The snap-fitting of the first alignment part and the first alignment hole facilitates initial positioning between the first and third plug-in terminals, making subsequent plug-in mating easier. Similarly, the snap-fitting of the second alignment part and the second alignment hole facilitates initial positioning between the second and fourth plug-in terminals, also making subsequent plug-in mating easier. This results in improved assembly accuracy for the first functional component, the communication processing component, and the overall assembly efficiency of the power distribution equipment.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the first functional component includes a first housing and a functional device, the functional device being installed inside the first housing, and a third plug-in terminal being connected to the functional device. The first housing has a first plug-in interface, and the third plug-in terminal is exposed in the first housing through the first plug-in interface for plug-in engagement with the first plug-in terminal. The communication processing component includes a second housing and a communication device, the communication device being installed inside the second housing, and a fourth plug-in terminal being connected to the communication device. The second housing has a second plug-in interface, and the fourth plug-in terminal is exposed in the second housing through the second plug-in interface for plug-in engagement with the second plug-in terminal.

[0013] The first housing and the first connector ensure that the first functional component and the first connector can be properly engaged, protecting the third connector and extending its service life. Similarly, the second housing and the second connector ensure that the communication processing component and the second connector can be properly engaged, protecting the fourth connector and extending its service life. This, in turn, helps extend the overall lifespan of the power distribution equipment.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the first housing is provided with a first groove, and the first plug-in interface is located at the bottom of the first groove. When the third plug-in terminal is plugged into the first plug-in terminal, the first plug-in terminal is accommodated in the first groove. The second housing is provided with a second groove, and the second plug-in interface is located at the bottom of the second groove. When the fourth plug-in terminal is plugged into the second plug-in terminal, the second plug-in terminal is accommodated in the second groove.

[0015] By setting the first and second grooves, firstly, the parts where the first and third plug terminals are plugged into each other, as well as the parts where the second and fourth plug terminals are plugged into each other, can be protected; secondly, the space occupied by the first functional component and the communication processing component in the plugging direction can be reduced, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the power distribution equipment.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the conductive substrate is configured to be flexibly deformable, which is beneficial to improving the flexibility of the electrical connection assembly layout. For example, the conductive substrate can flexibly deform to avoid some inherent structures on the enclosure of the power distribution equipment (such as nut posts, mounting holes, etc.).

[0017] One embodiment of this application provides a power distribution device. The power distribution device includes a housing and an electrical control module as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein a conductive substrate in the electrical control module is mounted inside the housing.

[0018] The aforementioned power distribution equipment utilizes the aforementioned electrical control module. During assembly, production and installation personnel only need to electrically connect the first functional component to the first conductive component and the communication processing component to the second conductive component to achieve electrical connection between the first functional component and the communication processing component. This eliminates complex wiring steps, simplifies wiring methods, and improves the assembly efficiency of the power distribution equipment. Furthermore, since the second functional component is installed within the assembly space and covers the conductive substrate, it can conceal the electrical connection structure between the first functional component and the communication processing component, improving the overall neatness of the electrical control module and thus alleviating the problem of messy internal wiring in the power distribution equipment.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, both the first functional component and the communication processing component are fixedly connected to the enclosure. By fixing both the first functional component and the communication processing component to the enclosure, dual fixation (specifically, electrical connection to the electrical connection component and fixed connection to the enclosure) can be achieved, reducing the risk of the first functional component and the communication processing component falling off or loosening due to collisions, resulting in poor contact. This helps improve the stability of the electrical connection between the first functional component and the communication processing component, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the power distribution equipment.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the conductive substrate of the electronic control module has a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other, the housing is in contact with the first surface, and both the first conductive element and the second conductive element are disposed on the second surface.

[0021] By placing the first conductive component and the second conductive component on the same side (specifically, the side of the conductive substrate facing away from the housing), production and installation personnel can directly connect the first functional component to the first conductive component and the communication processing component to the second conductive component along the installation direction of the conductive substrate, without any other extra operations. This helps to simplify the wiring method and improve the assembly efficiency of the power distribution equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0036] In traditional power distribution equipment, independently configured functional modules and communication modules are typically electrically connected to achieve automated control. In related technologies, wires are commonly used to connect the functional and communication modules. This is particularly problematic when there is a significant distance between the two modules. However, due to space constraints in the power distribution equipment and the long wiring harnesses connecting the functional and communication modules, the wiring becomes messy and difficult to route during production and installation, resulting in low assembly efficiency.

[0037] One embodiment of this application provides an electrical control module. The electrical control module is applied to power distribution equipment. The electrical control module includes an electrical connection component and a control management component. The electrical connection component includes a conductive substrate, a first conductive element, and a second conductive element. The first and second conductive elements are spaced apart on the conductive substrate, and an assembly space is formed between the first and second conductive elements. The control management component includes a first functional element, a second functional element, and a communication processing element. The first functional element is electrically connected to the first conductive element, the communication processing element is electrically connected to the second conductive element, and the second functional element is installed in the assembly space and covers the conductive substrate.

[0038] In the aforementioned electrical control module, production and installation personnel only need to electrically connect the first functional component to the first conductive component and the communication processing component to the second conductive component to achieve electrical connection between the first functional component and the communication processing component. This eliminates complex wiring steps, simplifies wiring methods, and improves the assembly efficiency of the power distribution equipment. Furthermore, since the second functional component is installed within the assembly space and covers the conductive substrate, it can conceal the electrical connection structure (specifically, the conductive substrate) between the first functional component and the communication processing component, improving the overall neatness of the electrical control module and thus alleviating the problem of messy internal wiring in the power distribution equipment.

[0039] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0040] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application provides a power distribution device 100. The power distribution device 100 is configured to be electrically connected to at least two input power sources (not shown), such as any two or more of mains power, photovoltaic, generator, energy storage devices, etc.

[0041] In some embodiments, the power distribution equipment 100 includes an electrical control module 10 and a housing 20. The electrical control module 10 is installed inside the housing 20. By installing the electrical control module 10 inside the housing 20, it is beneficial to protect the electrical control module 10, reduce the risk of damage to the electrical control module 10 due to impact or the entry of contaminants (such as rainwater, dust, etc.), and extend the service life of the power distribution equipment 100.

[0042] Please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the electronic control module 10 includes an electrical connection component 11 and a control management component 12. The control management component 12 includes a first functional component 121, a second functional component 122, and a communication processing component 123.

[0043] The first functional component 121 is used to be electrically connected to the input power source and to transmit the electrical energy input from the input source to the second functional component 122. The second functional component 122 is used to select the corresponding input power source and to transmit the electrical energy to the electrical device.

[0044] The communication processing unit 123 is used to receive communication signals from various functional components (specifically, the first functional component 121 and the second functional component 122), process them, and then feed them back to the respective functional components or output them to terminals such as mobile phones and monitors, so as to record and display the working status of each functional component and the power flow data.

[0045] In some embodiments, the electrical connection assembly 11 includes a conductive substrate 111, a first conductive element 112, and a second conductive element 113. The conductive substrate 111 is installed inside the housing 20. Specifically, the conductive substrate 111 is fixedly installed in the housing 20 by fasteners (specifically, screws, threaded parts, etc.).

[0046] In other embodiments, the conductive substrate 111 may also be installed inside the housing 20 by bonding or welding. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first conductive element 112 and the second conductive element 113 are spaced apart on the conductive substrate 111, the first functional element 121 is electrically connected to the first conductive element 112, and the communication processing element 123 is electrically connected to the second conductive element 113, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the first functional element 121 and the communication processing element 123. This eliminates complex wiring steps, simplifies the wiring method, and improves the assembly efficiency of the power distribution equipment 100.

[0048] Understandably, when it is necessary to electrically connect the first functional component 121 to the communication processing component 123, the production and installation personnel only need to electrically connect the first functional component 121 to the first conductive component 112 and the communication processing component 123 to the second conductive component 113 to achieve the electrical connection between the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123.

[0049] When it is necessary to disconnect the electrical connection between the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123, the production and installation personnel only need to disconnect the electrical connection between the first functional component 121 and the first conductive component 112, and disconnect the electrical connection between the communication processing component 123 and the second conductive component 113.

[0050] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, an assembly space (not shown) is formed between the first conductive element 112 and the second conductive element 113, and the second functional element 122 is installed in the assembly space and covers the conductive substrate 111.

[0051] By placing the second functional component 122 in the assembly space and covering the conductive substrate 111, it is beneficial to hide the electrical connection structure (specifically the conductive substrate 111) between the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123, thereby improving the overall neatness of the electrical control module 10 and thus improving the problem of messy wiring inside the power distribution equipment 100.

[0052] The electrical control module 10 provided in this application can not only eliminate the complex wiring steps between the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123, simplify the wiring method, and improve the assembly efficiency of the power distribution equipment 100, but also hide the electrical connection component 11 between the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123, improve the overall neatness of the electrical control module 10, and thus improve the problem of messy internal wiring of the power distribution equipment 100.

[0053] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the conductive substrate 111 has a first surface 1113 and a second surface 1114 disposed opposite to each other, the housing 20 is in contact with the first surface 1113, and the first conductive element 112 and the second conductive element 113 are both disposed on the second surface 1114.

[0054] By placing the first conductive element 112 and the second conductive element 113 on the same side (specifically, the side of the conductive substrate 111 facing away from the housing 20), production and installation personnel can directly connect the first functional element 121 to the first conductive element 112 and the communication processing element 123 to the second conductive element 113 along the installation direction of the conductive substrate 111, without any other extra operations. This helps to simplify the wiring method and improve the assembly efficiency of the power distribution equipment 100.

[0055] Please refer to the following: Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, the first conductive element 112 is provided with a first plug-in terminal 1121, the second conductive element 113 is provided with a second plug-in terminal 1131, the first functional element 121 is provided with a third plug-in terminal 1211, and the communication processing element 123 is provided with a fourth plug-in terminal 1231.

[0056] When the first functional component 121 is electrically connected to the communication processing component 123, the first plug-in terminal 1121 is plugged into the third plug-in terminal 1211, and the second plug-in terminal 1131 is plugged into the fourth plug-in terminal 1231.

[0057] By adopting the electrical connection method of plug-in terminals, firstly, it is beneficial to further simplify the connection steps, allowing production and installation personnel to directly plug the first plug-in terminal 1121 into the third plug-in terminal 1211 and the second plug-in terminal 1131 into the fourth plug-in terminal 1231; secondly, it is beneficial to reduce the subsequent maintenance cost of the electrical control module 10.

[0058] For example, if the third plug-in terminal 1211 in the first functional component 121 is worn or damaged after long-term use, the production and installation personnel only need to replace the third plug-in terminal 1211 in the first functional component 121, without having to replace the entire first functional component 121.

[0059] For example, if the fourth connector 1231 in the communication processing unit 123 wears or is damaged after long-term use, the production and installation personnel only need to replace the fourth connector 1231 in the communication processing unit 123, without having to replace the entire communication processing unit 123.

[0060] It is worth noting that when the user needs to disconnect the electrical connection between the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123, the production and installation personnel can simply separate the first plug terminal 1121 and the third plug terminal 1211 from each other, that is, pull the first functional component 121 out of the electrical connection assembly 11.

[0061] Alternatively, the production and installation personnel may simply separate the second plug terminal 1131 from the fourth plug terminal 1231, that is, unplug the communication processing unit 123 from the electrical connection assembly 11.

[0062] Alternatively, the production and installation personnel may simultaneously disconnect the first plug-in terminal 1121 from the third plug-in terminal 1211, and the second plug-in terminal 1131 from the fourth plug-in terminal 1231, that is, simultaneously unplug the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123 from the electrical connection assembly 11. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0063] In other embodiments, the electrical connection between the first conductive element 112 and the first functional element 121, and between the second conductive element 113 and the communication processing element 123, may not use plug-in terminals, but other suitable electrical connection methods. The electrical connection methods between the first conductive element 112 and the first functional element 121, and between the second conductive element 113 and the communication processing element 123, may also be different. For example, the first conductive element 112 and the first functional element 121 may be electrically connected via plug-in terminals, while the second conductive element 113 and the communication processing element 123 may not be electrically connected via plug-in terminals. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0064] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 In some embodiments, the conductive substrate 111 is provided with a first guide groove 1111, which is located on the periphery of the first plug terminal 1121. The first functional member 121 is provided with a first guide rib (not shown), which is configured to slide along the first guide groove 1111 when the third plug terminal 1211 is plugged into the first plug terminal 1121.

[0065] The cooperation between the first guide rib and the first guide groove 1111 facilitates the floating assembly between the first functional component 121 and the electrical connection assembly 11.

[0066] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 In some embodiments, the conductive substrate 111 is provided with a second guide groove 1112, which is located on the periphery of the second plug terminal 1131. The communication processing unit 123 is provided with a second guide rib 1232, which is configured to slide along the second guide groove 1112 when the fourth plug terminal 1231 is plugged into the second plug terminal 1131.

[0067] The cooperation between the second guide rib 1232 and the second guide groove 1112 facilitates the floating assembly between the communication processing component 123 and the electrical connection component 11.

[0068] By setting guide grooves (specifically, the first guide groove 1111 and the second guide groove 1112) and guide ribs (specifically, the first guide rib and the second guide rib 1232), it is beneficial to improve the assembly accuracy of the first functional component 121 and the assembly accuracy of the communication processing component 123, thereby reducing the risk of interference damage between the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123 and the components due to assembly errors.

[0069] In other embodiments, the guide groove and guide rib may also be arranged in reverse. For example, the conductive substrate 111 is provided with a first guide rib and a second guide rib 1232, the first functional component 121 is provided with a first guide groove 1111, and the communication processing component 123 is provided with a second guide groove 1112. The first guide groove 1111 and the second guide groove 1112 may also be provided in the first plug-in terminal 1121 and the second plug-in terminal 1131. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0070] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7In some embodiments, the first plug terminal 1121 is provided with a first alignment hole 11211, and the third plug terminal 1211 is provided with a first alignment portion 12111. The first alignment hole 11211 and the first alignment portion 12111 are engaged to constrain the relative positions of the first plug terminal 1121 and the third plug terminal 1211.

[0071] The snap-fitting of the first alignment part 12111 and the first alignment hole 11211 facilitates the initial positioning between the first plug terminal 1121 and the third plug terminal 1211, which in turn facilitates the subsequent plugging and mating of the first plug terminal 1121 and the third plug terminal 1211.

[0072] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 In some embodiments, the second plug terminal 1131 is provided with a second alignment hole 11311, and the fourth plug terminal 1231 is provided with a second alignment portion 12311. The second alignment hole 11311 and the second alignment portion 12311 are engaged to constrain the relative positions of the second plug terminal 1131 and the fourth plug terminal 1231.

[0073] The snap-fitting of the second alignment part 12311 and the second alignment hole 11311 facilitates the initial positioning between the second insertion terminal 1131 and the fourth insertion terminal 1231, which in turn facilitates the subsequent insertion and mating of the second insertion terminal 1131 and the fourth insertion terminal 1231.

[0074] By setting up alignment holes (specifically, the first alignment hole 11211 and the second alignment hole 11311) and alignment parts (specifically, the first alignment part 12111 and the second alignment part 12311), it is beneficial to improve the assembly accuracy of the first functional component 121 and the assembly accuracy of the communication processing component 123, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the power distribution equipment 100.

[0075] In other embodiments, the alignment portion and alignment hole may also be arranged in reverse. For example, the first plug-in terminal 1121 is provided with a first alignment portion 12111, and the third plug-in terminal 1211 is provided with a first alignment hole 11211. The second plug-in terminal 1131 is provided with a second alignment portion 12311, and the fourth plug-in terminal 1231 is provided with a second alignment hole 11311. This application does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can choose according to the actual situation.

[0076] In some embodiments, the conductive substrate 111 is configured to be flexible and deformable, which is beneficial to improving the flexibility of the electrical connection assembly 11 layout. For example, the conductive substrate 111 can flexibly deform to avoid some inherent structures on the housing 20 of the power distribution equipment 100 (such as nut posts, mounting holes, etc.).

[0077] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first functional component 121 includes a first housing 1212 and a functional device 1213. The functional device 1213 is installed inside the first housing 1212, and a third plug-in terminal 1211 is connected to the functional device 1213. The first housing 1212 is provided with a first plug-in interface (not shown), and the third plug-in terminal 1211 is exposed in the first housing 1212 through the first plug-in interface to be plugged into and cooperate with the first plug-in terminal 1212.

[0078] By providing the first housing 1212 and the first plug-in interface, the third plug-in terminal 1211 can be protected and its service life extended while ensuring that the first functional component 121 and the first plug-in terminal 1121 are plugged in and engaged.

[0079] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the communication processing unit 123 includes a second housing 1233 and a communication device 1234. The communication device 1234 is installed inside the second housing 1233, and a fourth plug-in terminal 1231 is connected to the communication device 1234. The second housing 1233 has a second plug-in interface 12331, and the fourth plug-in terminal 1231 is exposed in the second housing 1233 through the second plug-in interface 12331 for plugging and mating with the second plug-in terminal 1131.

[0080] By providing the second housing 1233 and the second plug-in interface 12331, the fourth plug-in terminal 1231 can be protected while ensuring that the communication processing unit 123 and the second plug-in terminal 1131 are plugged in and engaged, thereby extending the service life of the fourth plug-in terminal 1231.

[0081] The arrangement of the housing (specifically, the first housing 1212 and the second housing 1233) and the plug-in interface (specifically, the first plug-in interface and the second plug-in interface 12331) helps to extend the service life of the power distribution equipment 100.

[0082] Please refer to the following: Figures 5 to 8 In some embodiments, the first housing 1212 is provided with a first groove (not shown), and the first insertion interface 12131 is located at the bottom of the first groove. When the third insertion terminal 1211 is inserted into the first insertion terminal 1121, the first insertion terminal 1121 is accommodated in the first groove.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second housing 1233 is provided with a second groove 12332, and the second insertion interface 12331 is located at the bottom of the groove 12332. When the fourth insertion terminal 1231 is inserted into the second insertion terminal 1131, the second insertion terminal 1131 is accommodated in the second groove 12332.

[0084] By setting the first groove and the second groove 12332, firstly, the part where the first plug terminal 1121 and the third plug terminal 1211 are plugged into each other, and the part where the second plug terminal 1131 and the fourth plug terminal 1231 are plugged into each other can be protected; secondly, the space occupied by the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123 in the plugging direction can be reduced, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the power distribution equipment 100.

[0085] In some embodiments, the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123 are both fixedly connected to the housing 20. Specifically, the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123 are fixedly installed on the housing 20 by fasteners (specifically, screws, threaded parts, etc.).

[0086] By fixing both the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123 to the housing 20, a dual fixation of the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123 can be achieved (specifically, the plug-in connection with the electrical connection component 11 and the fixed connection with the housing 20). This reduces the risk of the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123 falling off or loosening due to collisions, resulting in poor contact. It also helps to improve the stability of the electrical connection between the first functional component 121 and the communication processing component 123, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the power distribution equipment 100.

[0087] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the essential spirit and scope of this application fall within the scope of this application's disclosure.
