[0026] This embodiment is a portable, programmable AC power supply.

[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, the device includes a programmable AC power supply body 1. A control panel 2 is provided on the upper outer surface of the programmable AC power supply body 1. A protective cover 3 is provided on the upper part of the control panel 2. A handle 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper outer surface of the protective cover 3. Sheet metal blocks 5 are fixedly installed on the upper part of the outer surfaces on both sides of the programmable AC power supply body 1. A groove 6 is provided on one side of the outer surface of the sheet metal block 5. A second limiting hole 10 is provided at the lower end of the outer surfaces on both sides of the sheet metal block 5. A first limiting hole 9 is provided at the upper end of the outer surfaces on both sides of the sheet metal block 5. Both the first limiting hole 9 and the second limiting hole 10 pass through the groove 6. Connecting arms 7 are fixedly installed in the middle of the outer surfaces at both ends of the protective cover 3. A snap-fit ​​limiting component 8 is connected to the lower end of the connecting arm 7. The snap-fit ​​limiting component 8 includes a slider 11, a connecting shaft 12, a mounting hole 13, a snap-fit ​​pin 14, and a compression spring 15. One end of the connecting shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting arm 7.

[0028] The slider 11 is slidably connected in the groove 6; a bearing is provided between the connecting shaft 12 and the slider 11, and the end of the connecting shaft 12 away from the connecting arm 7 is rotatably connected to the middle of the slider 11 through the bearing; mounting holes 13 are opened on the outer surfaces of both ends of the slider 11, and compression springs 15 are located in the mounting holes 13; the outer surface of one end of the compression spring 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting hole 13, and the outer surface of the other end of the compression spring 15 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the locking pin 14, and the outer wall of the locking pin 14 is slidably connected to the mounting hole 13. One end of the snap-fit ​​pin 14 is elastically connected to one end of the mounting hole 13 via a compression spring 15; one end of the snap-fit ​​pin 14 is detachably snapped into the first limiting hole 9 and the second limiting hole 10; when the snap-fit ​​pin 14 is snapped into the first limiting hole 9, the protective cover 3 is in the open state and separated from the programmable AC power supply body 1; when the snap-fit ​​pin 14 is snapped into the second limiting hole 10, the protective cover 3 is in the closed state and completely covers the control panel 2, and the protective cover 3 is attached to the upper outer surface of the programmable AC power supply body 1.

[0029] It should be noted that this utility model is a portable, programmable AC power supply, as shown in the attached instruction manual.
