Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of indicator lights, and in particular to a hot-swappable indicator light. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, power distribution units (PDUs) are primarily used in data center server rooms and information server rooms for power distribution to computers, computing equipment, communication equipment, and other load devices; their function is the same as that of household power strips. PDUs typically use metal casings, including sheet metal, aluminum profiles, and some are made of plastic. By using PDUs, power distribution within server racks becomes neater, more reliable, safer, more professional, and more aesthetically pleasing, while also making power supply maintenance within the rack more convenient and reliable.

[0003] PDUs are industrial-grade power distribution units, and indicator lights are key components of communication power supplies, primarily used to indicate power status. They are installed in pre-set slots within power strips. In practical applications, when a device is connected to power and operating normally, the indicator light displays the device's on / off status and working condition in a specific way (such as illuminating or flashing). However, in related technologies, the installation of these indicator lights is relatively cumbersome, and they are difficult to remove when damaged, leading to inconvenient replacement. Utility Model Content

The two stabilizing threaded tubes abut against the inner side of the PCB board respectively. The PCB board has symmetrical through holes, and stabilizing screws are inserted into the two through holes. The two stabilizing screws are threadedly connected to the two stabilizing threaded tubes respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning tube disposed on the top of the upper cover, and a lamp hole communicating with the positioning tube is opened on the top of the upper cover.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a hot-swap indicator light, as shown in the embodiments below. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the hot-swap indicator light includes a base module 1 and an indicator module 2. The base module 1 is disposed in a preset slot in the power strip, and the indicator module 2 is disposed on the base module 1. By setting the structure in which the base module 1 and the indicator module 2 cooperate with each other, the base module 1 and the indicator module 2 can be easily disassembled and assembled. When the indicator module 2 is damaged, it can be removed from the base module 1 for replacement in a timely manner, thereby realizing the effect of hot-swapping while powered on.

[0027] The structure of base module 1 is described in detail below:

[0028] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3In this embodiment, the base module 1 includes a base shell 11, an electrode frame 12, a limiting mechanism, and a base shell electrode plate 13. The base shell 11 has a rectangular structure with a hollowed-out interior. Symmetrical clamping openings 111 are provided on both sides of the base shell 11. Clamping protrusions 112 are installed on the bottom edges of both clamping openings 111. These clamping protrusions 112 are made of plastic and have a certain degree of plasticity and elasticity. They can not only be pressed down to cause the clamping protrusions 112 to shift into the interior of the base shell 11, but also automatically reset when the pressure on the clamping protrusions 112 is released.

[0029] Furthermore, symmetrical slots are provided on the inner wall of the power strip slot to engage with the locking protrusions 112. By engaging the two locking protrusions 112 with the two slots respectively, the bottom shell 11 can be securely installed in the power strip slot.

[0030] In this embodiment, two electrode frames 12 are provided, symmetrically installed inside the bottom shell 11, with the bottom ends of both electrode frames 12 extending outside the bottom wall of the bottom shell 11. Two bottom shell electrode plates 13 are provided, each installed inside the two electrode frames 12 by a limiting mechanism to effectively limit the installation of the two bottom shell electrode plates 13. The bottom ends of the two bottom shell electrode plates 13 extend along the inside of the electrode frame 12 to the outside of the bottom side of the bottom shell 11, thereby facilitating their connection with the cables installed in the slots of the power strip, and thus enabling the two bottom shell electrode plates 13 to be electrically connected to the power strip.

[0031] More specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting rod 121, clamping plates 131, and limiting components. The limiting rod 121 is mounted on the inner bottom side of the electrode frame 12. Two clamping plates 131 are symmetrically mounted on one side of the top of the bottom shell electrode plate 13. The bottom ends of the two clamping plates 131 are clamped onto the limiting rod 121, thereby limiting the bottom shell electrode plate 13 to be installed inside the electrode frame 12. The top ends of the two clamping plates 131 cooperate with the output end of the indicating module 2, allowing the output end of the indicating module 2 to be inserted along the top of the electrode frame 12 into the top ends of the two clamping plates 131. This clamps the output end of the indicating module 2, enabling the indicating module 2 and the base module 1 to be plugged and unplugged together.

[0032] Meanwhile, the limiting component is disposed between the electrode frame 12 and the bottom shell electrode plate 13 to guide and limit the installation of the bottom shell electrode plate 13. Specifically, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the limiting member includes two limiting blocks 132, which are symmetrically installed on both sides of the middle part of the bottom shell electrode sheet 13. Limiting grooves 122 are symmetrically opened on the inner bottom wall of the electrode frame 12. The two limiting grooves 122 cooperate with the two limiting blocks 132 respectively, so that when the bottom shell electrode sheet 13 is installed, the limiting blocks 132 on the bottom shell electrode sheet 13 are inserted into the limiting grooves 122, thereby realizing the positioning and guiding installation of the bottom shell electrode sheet 13.

[0033] The structure of indicator module 2 is described in detail below:

[0034] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the indicator module 2 includes an upper cover 21, a PCB board 22, a stabilizing mechanism, a resistor 23, a diode 24, an LED light 25, a positioning mechanism, and an upper cover electrode plate 26. The upper cover 21 has a rectangular structure with a hollowed-out interior. Symmetrical clearance holes 211 are provided on both sides of the upper cover 21. When the outer side of the upper cover 21 is inserted into the interior of the bottom shell 11, the two clearance holes 211 communicate with two locking openings 111, and the two clearance holes 211 cooperate with two locking protrusions 112. When the two locking protrusions 112 are pressed inward, they tilt along the clearance holes 211 into the interior of the upper cover 21, thereby preventing the sidewalls of the upper cover 21 from obstructing the locking protrusions 112.

[0035] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the PCB board 22 is set inside the upper cover 21 by a stabilizing mechanism. The design of the stabilizing mechanism can securely install the PCB board 22 inside the upper cover 21. The resistor 23, diode 24 and LED 25 are respectively fixedly installed on the PCB board 22, and the positioning mechanism is set on the top of the upper cover 21 and cooperates with the lamp head of the LED 25, so that the lamp head of the LED 25 can extend out of the top outside of the upper cover 21, thereby enabling the indication of the power supply and the device's on / off status and working status.

[0036] In addition, in this embodiment, there are two upper cover electrode plates 26. The two upper cover electrode plates 26 are symmetrically mounted on the PCB board 22, and the bottom ends of the two upper cover electrode plates 26 respectively cooperate with the top ends of the clamping pieces 131 on the two bottom shell electrode plates 13, so that the upper cover electrode plates 26 are inserted into the inner side of the top ends of the two clamping pieces 131 to realize the mutual connection between the upper cover electrode plates 26 and the bottom shell electrode plates 13.

[0037] The structure of the stabilizing mechanism and the positioning mechanism is described in detail below:

[0038] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the stabilizing mechanism includes a stabilizing threaded tube 212 and a stabilizing screw 28. Two stabilizing threaded tubes 212 are provided, symmetrically installed at diagonal positions on the inner top wall of the upper cover 21. The ends of the two stabilizing threaded tubes 212 away from the top side of the upper cover 21 respectively abut against diagonal positions on the inner side of the PCB board 22, so that when the PCB board 22 is placed inside the upper cover 21, the two stabilizing threaded tubes 212 can effectively support the PCB board 22.

[0039] Meanwhile, through holes 27 are symmetrically provided at opposite corners of the PCB board 22. Two fixing screws 28 are provided, each passing through one of the through holes 27 and threadedly connected to one of the two fixing threaded tubes 212. When the PCB board 22 is placed inside the upper cover 21, the two through holes 27 are interconnected with the interiors of the two fixing threaded tubes 212. By screwing the two fixing screws 28 into the two fixing threaded tubes 212 along the two through holes 27, the PCB board 22 can be securely installed inside the upper cover 21.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning tube 213 and a positioning ring block 251. One end of the positioning tube 213 is fixedly installed at the inner top of the upper cover 21. The positioning tube 213 cooperates with the lamp head of the LED lamp 25, and a lamp hole 214 is provided at the top of the upper cover 21, communicating with the positioning tube 213. The positioning ring block 251 is installed on the outer side of the lamp head of the LED lamp 25. When the lamp head of the LED lamp 25 extends into the positioning tube 213, the positioning ring block 251 and the positioning tube 213 abut against each other to achieve positioning and installation of the lamp head of the LED lamp 25; and the lamp head of the LED lamp 25 cooperates with the lamp hole 214, allowing the lamp head of the LED lamp 25 to extend beyond the lamp hole 214.

[0041] Better, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, detachable protrusions 215 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper cover 21. Anti-slip textures are provided on the outer side of both detachable protrusions 215. By setting two detachable protrusions 215, it is easy to pull the indicator module 2 out of the base module 1. The anti-slip textures can effectively prevent slipping, thus making it easier to pull out the indicator module 2.

[0042] Therefore, the present application solution, by setting up a structure in which the base shell 11, electrode frame 12, limiting mechanism, base shell electrode plate 13, top cover 21, PCB board 22, resistor 23, diode 24, LED light 25, positioning mechanism and top cover electrode plate 26 cooperate with each other, can realize the convenient disassembly and assembly effect between the base module 1 and the indicator module 2. When the indicator module 2 is damaged, it can also be removed from the base module 1 for replacement in a timely manner, thereby realizing the effect of hot-swapping.
