[0044] The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] This application provides a power supply fixing device. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a power supply fixing device 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the base plate 101 and the fixing plate 102 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a side view of the fixing plate 102 in an embodiment of this application.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the power supply fixing device 100 includes: a base plate 101 and a fixing plate 102. In this application, the base plate 101 has a first surface A (e.g., an upper surface) and a second surface B (e.g., a lower surface). The interior of the first surface A is provided with a pair of first bent portions 101a and a pair of second bent portions 101b protruding along a first direction X perpendicular to the first surface A.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, a pair of first bent portions 101a protrude toward a first direction X (e.g., an upward direction) and are bent relative to each other. For example, one first bent portion 101a protrudes toward the first direction X and then bends along the second direction Y+, and the other first bent portion 101a protrudes toward the first direction X and then bends along the second direction Y-, thereby forming a pair of first engaging spaces that can engage the fixing plate 102.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, a pair of second bends 101b protrude toward a first direction X (e.g., an upward direction) and are bent relative to each other. For example, one second bend 101b protrudes toward the first direction X and then bends along the second direction Y+, and the other second bend 101b protrudes toward the first direction X and then bends along the second direction Y-, thereby forming a pair of second engaging spaces that can engage the fixing plate 102.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, the fixing plate 102 can be disposed on the first surface A of the base plate 101. The interior of the fixing plate 102 has a pair of first protrusions 102a and a pair of second protrusions 102b. The pair of first protrusions 102a protrude along the first direction X and can engage with a pair of first bends 101a; the pair of second protrusions 102b protrude along the second direction Y parallel to the first surface A and can engage with a pair of second bends 101b.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, a pair of first protrusions 102a protrude toward a first direction X (e.g., upward direction), that is, the first protrusions 102a are perpendicular to the upper surface. For example, after one first protrusion 102a protrudes toward the first direction X, it engages with a first bend 101a in a first engaging space, and after the other first protrusion 102a protrudes toward the first direction X, it engages with another first bend 101a in another first engaging space.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, a pair of second protrusions 102b protrude along a second direction Y (e.g., a direction parallel to the upper surface), that is, the second protrusions 102b are parallel to the upper surface. For example, one second protrusion 102b protrudes towards the second direction Y+ and engages with a second bend 101b in a second engaging space, and the other second protrusion 102b protrudes towards the second direction Y- and engages with another second bend 101b in another second engaging space.

[0052] Therefore, according to the embodiments of this application, the protrusion directions of the first protrusion 102a and the second protrusion 102b are different. Correspondingly, the heights of the first bending portion 101a and the second bending portion 101b in the first direction X are different. This not only enables them to engage securely, but also provides space for fixing the power rail, and effectively reduces the number of bends.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the first bend 101a and the second bend 101b are arranged along a third direction Z, wherein the third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y. When the first bend 101a and the first protrusion 102a are engaged, and the second bend 101b and the second protrusion 102b are engaged, the fixing plate 102 can move relative to the base plate 101 along the third direction Z.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first bending portion 101a and the second bending portion 101b are arranged along the third direction Z, thereby forming at least two pairs of engaging spaces (a pair of first engaging spaces and a pair of second engaging spaces). The fixing plate can move while the engaging spaces are engaged, thus fixing the power rail in the third direction. Therefore, the design of the base plate and the fixing plate simplifies the mating structure of the power fixing device, effectively reduces the number of bends, reduces material consumption, and lowers costs.

[0055] In some examples, the base plate 101 is entirely flat, and the fixing plate 102 is also entirely flat. The multiple bends inside the base plate 101, the multiple bends inside the fixing plate 102, and the multiple protrusions on the outer periphery constitute a self-locking structure.

[0056] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the base plate 101 has a pair of first bends 101a, a pair of second bends 101b, and a third bend 101c inside. The fixing plate 102 has a pair of first protrusions 102a and a pair of second protrusions 102b on its outer periphery, and a fourth bend 102c inside the fixing plate 102. The pair of first bends 101a engages with the pair of first protrusions 102a, and the pair of second bends 101b engages with the pair of second protrusions 102b, thus forming a self-locking structure. This self-locking structure not only allows the base plate 101 and the fixing plate 102 to be securely engaged, but also effectively reduces the number of bends in the sheet metal.

[0057] Furthermore, in the structure of the power supply fixing device 100, the base plate 101 and the fixing plate 102 are designed by bending using the internal material of the device itself (e.g., sheet metal bending), eliminating the need for additional consumables and making full use of the material area. Therefore, this structure improves material utilization and reduces costs.

[0058] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the interior of the first surface A of the base plate 101 further has a third bend 101c protruding along the first direction X and facing the third direction Z, and the interior of the fixing plate 102 has a fourth bend 102c opposite to the third bend 101c. The power supply fixing device 100 also has an elastic element 103, through which the third bend 101c and the fourth bend 102c are connected. The elastic element 103 is, for example, a spring, but this application is not limited to this; for example, it can also be a resin element with elasticity.

[0059] In some examples, the fixing plate 102 has a hollow portion 1021, a fourth bend 102c is formed on one side of the hollow portion 1021 in the third direction Z (e.g., the side near the first protrusion 102a), the third bend 101c of the base plate 101 protrudes from the other side of the hollow portion 1021 in the third direction Z (e.g., the side away from the first bend 101a), and the elastic member 103 connects the third bend 101c and the fourth bend 102c by engaging.

[0060] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the third bend 101c on the base plate 101 protrudes along the first direction X+ and bends towards the third direction Z+, and the fourth bend 102c on the fixing plate 102 protrudes along the first direction X+ and bends towards the third direction Z-. Figure 1 As shown, the third bend 101c and the fourth bend 102c are connected by the elastic member 103 to form a third engaging space that can engage the fixing plate. The third bend 101c and the fourth bend 102c are respectively fixed to the elastic member 103. This further enhances the stability of the power supply fixing device 100.

[0061] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixing plate 102 has a hollow portion 1021 inside. The third bending portion 101c protrudes along the first direction X+ and bends towards the third direction Z+. The fourth bending portion 102c protrudes along the first direction X+ and bends towards the third direction Z-. The third bending portion 101c is exposed on the upper surface of the fixing plate 102 through the hollow portion 1021 and is opposite to the fourth bending portion 102c. One end of the elastic member 103 engages with the third bending portion 101c, and the other end engages with the fourth bending portion 102c, thereby fixing the power rail 104.

[0062] Furthermore, in the structure of this power supply fixing device 100, the elastic element 103 is not obstructed, so the working state of the elastic element 103 can be directly observed by the operator, which facilitates the operator's assembly of the power supply, and the overall thickness of the power supply fixing device 100 is reduced.

[0063] In some examples, in the fixed plate 102, a pair of third protrusions 102d protruding along the first direction X are also provided on both sides of the hollow portion 1021 in the second direction Y. For example, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a pair of third protrusions 102d are arranged in the second direction Y and protrude toward the first direction X+. The height of the third protrusions 102d can be the same as the diameter of the elastic member 103. Thus, a space can be formed to protect the elastic member 103 and to guide and limit the elastic member 103.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixing plate 102 has a pair of first protrusions 102a protruding in the first direction X+, a pair of third protrusions 102d protruding in the first direction X+, and a fourth bent portion 102c protruding in the first direction X+ and bending in the third direction Z-. Thus, the first protrusions 102a, third protrusions 102d and fourth bent portions 102c on the fixing plate 102 protrude in the same direction and can directly engage with the first bent portion 101a and second bent portion 101b on the base plate 101 and the elastic member 103, effectively reducing the thickness of the power supply fixing device 100.

[0065] In some examples, the outer periphery of the base plate 101 also has a pair of fifth bends 101d protruding in the first direction X and facing the second direction Y; the fixing plate 102 also has a pair of fourth protrusions 102e protruding in the second direction Y that can engage with the fifth bends 101d.

[0066] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sheet metal material of the outer periphery of the base plate 101 at the third direction Z-edge can be bent in the first direction X to form a pair of fifth bends 101d arranged in the second direction Y, with the fifth bends 101d protruding in the first direction X+. The pair of fifth bends 101d can further engage and fix the plate 102.

[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the fixing plate 102, a pair of fourth protrusions 102e protrude in the second direction Y. For example, one fourth protrusion 102e protrudes in the second direction Y+, and the other fourth protrusion 102e protrudes in the second direction Y-. Thus, in the fixing plate 102, the first protrusion 102a, the second protrusion 102b, and the fourth protrusion 102e form grooves P and M at the edge of the fixing plate 102, which not only cooperates with the self-locking structure but also reduces the number of bends and the amount of material used.

[0068] In some examples, the outer periphery of the base plate 101 also has a pair of sixth bends 101e protruding along the first direction X, and a pair of first protrusions 102a of the fixing plate 102 each have a seventh bend 102f facing the third direction Z. The sixth bends 101e engage one side of the power rail 104, and the seventh bends 102f engage the other side of the power rail 104.

[0069] For example, such as Figure 1As shown, a pair of sixth bends 101e protrude toward the first direction X+ and are bent relative to each other (e.g., have bends 101g toward the Z- direction), and a pair of first protrusions 102a each have a seventh bend 102f protruding toward the third direction Z+. In the third direction Z, the pair of sixth bends 101e engage with one side of the power rail, and the pair of seventh bends 102f engage with the other side of the power rail 104.

[0070] In some examples, the outer periphery of the base plate 101 also has a pair of fifth protrusions 101f protruding along the first direction X, the fifth protrusions 101f abutting against the other side of the rail power supply.

[0071] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, a pair of fifth protrusions 101f are arranged in the second direction Y, protruding towards the first direction X+. The power rail 104 engages with a pair of sixth bends 101e in the third direction Z+, and engages with a pair of seventh bends 102f in the third direction Z-, abutting against the pair of fifth protrusions 101f. Thus, the power fixing device 100 can be securely engaged with the power rail 104.

[0072] The power supply fixing device 100 of the present application embodiment has been illustrated above, but the present application is not limited thereto. The power supply fixing device 100 may also include other components, and relevant technologies can be consulted for details.

[0073] This application embodiment also provides a power supply 200, which includes a power rail 104 and the power fixing device 100 in the foregoing embodiment.

[0074] Figures 4 to 7 This is a schematic diagram of an installation process of the power supply 200 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0075] When installing power supply 200, firstly, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the fixing plate 102 is installed on the first surface A of the base plate 101. The outer periphery of the fixing plate 102 has two pairs of slots P and slots M of different sizes. The slots P and slots M are respectively aligned with a pair of second bends 101b and a pair of fifth bends 101d on the base plate 101.

[0076] After that, as Figure 5 As shown, the fixing plate 102 is slid from the negative direction (Z-) of the third direction Z to the positive direction (Z+) of the third direction Z until the bottom end of the hollow part 1021 of the fixing plate 102 slides to the third bent part 101c of the bottom plate 101 and engages, forming a self-locking fit structure.

[0077] Then, as Figure 6As shown, one end of the elastic member 103 is engaged with the third bending portion 101c, and the other end is engaged with the fourth bending portion 102c;

[0078] Finally, as Figure 7 As shown, the power rail 104 is installed using the power fixing device 100.

[0079] In this embodiment, the design of the base plate and the fixing plate simplifies the matching structure of the power supply fixing device, effectively reduces the number of bends, and can reduce material consumption and lower costs.
