Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electrode sheets, and in particular to an electrode sheet structure for use in sockets, surge protectors, and indicator lights. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the Chinese name for PDU is Power Distribution Unit. It is mainly used in data center computer rooms and information computer rooms for power distribution of load equipment such as computers, computing power equipment, and communication equipment. Its function is the same as that of civilian power strips. PDUs usually use metal shells, which are made of sheet metal, aluminum profiles, and some are made of plastic. Due to the different internal shapes of the power plugs of load equipment, the following four types are commonly used: Chinese standard 16A module, Chinese standard 10A module, European standard C13 (10A) module, and European standard C19 (16A) module.

[0003] Furthermore, different computer rooms have different requirements, and the additional functions also vary. For example, some may require modules such as surge protectors, power indicator lights, sockets, circuit breakers, and input junction boxes. These modules can be combined into PDU products according to user requirements. However, in related technologies, for the structure of long power strips, modules such as surge protectors, power indicator lights, sockets, circuit breakers, and input junction boxes need to be installed inside the long power strip. These modules are all equipped with electrode plates, and the ends of these electrode plates have round holes. When installing these modules, copper strips need to be inserted through the round holes one by one, and then soldered to achieve the installation of these modules inside the long power strip.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the electrode plates of these modules are all designed with round holes at their ends. The method of using copper strips to pass through these electrode plates sequentially along the round holes is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also makes it difficult to connect these electrode plates in series when the copper strips are bent, resulting in high requirements for the copper strips. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an electrode sheet structure for use in sockets, surge protectors and indicator lights, in order to solve the problem that the electrode sheets of these modules are all designed with round holes at the ends. The method of using copper strips to pass through the round holes one by one is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also difficult to connect the electrode sheets in series when the copper strips are bent, which leads to high requirements for the copper strips.

[0006] The electrode sheet structure for use in sockets, surge protectors, and indicator lights provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An electrode sheet structure for use in sockets, surge protectors, and indicator lights includes an electrode sheet body, a plug-in end plate at the bottom of the electrode sheet body, a U-shaped slot at the bottom side of the plug-in end plate, the U-shaped slot engaging with the outer side of a steel strip, and a clamping end at the top of the electrode sheet body.

[0008] Furthermore, the U-shaped slot includes an arc-shaped slot formed on the plug-in end plate, and a rectangular slot connected to the arc-shaped slot is also formed on the bottom side of the plug-in end plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the U-shaped slot includes a circular slot formed on the plug-in end plate, and a rectangular slot connected to the circular slot is also formed on the bottom side of the plug-in end plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the lateral diameter of the circular slot is greater than the lateral length of the rectangular slot.

[0011] Furthermore, the rectangular slot has inclined surfaces on both sides of its slot walls.

[0012] Furthermore, a circular slot is provided on the bottom side of the plug-in end plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamping end includes a fixing plate disposed on the top end of the electrode sheet body, and clamping blocks are symmetrically disposed on one side of the top end of the fixing plate, and clamping end blocks are disposed on the top end of both clamping blocks.

[0014] Furthermore, both clamping blocks are provided with limit rods at their bottom ends.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0016] By setting up a structure in which the electrode sheet body, plug-in end plate, U-shaped slot hole, and clamping end cooperate with each other, the entire electrode sheet structure can be directly and quickly fitted onto the outside of the steel strip, which can achieve the effect of simple and quick operation, saving labor and time; at the same time, the requirements for the copper strip are not high, and even if the copper strip is bent, the electrode sheet structure can be quickly fitted onto the copper strip, thereby achieving the effect of efficient installation of multiple module electrode sheet structures.

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0025] This application discloses an electrode sheet structure for use in sockets, surge protectors, and indicator lights, with reference to... Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the electrode sheet structure includes an electrode sheet body 1, a plug-in end plate 2, a U-shaped slot 3, and a clamping end 4. The plug-in end plate 2 is mounted on the bottom side of the electrode sheet body 1, and the plug-in end plate 2 and the electrode sheet body 1 are integrally formed. The U-shaped slot 3 is located on the bottom side of the plug-in end plate 2, and the U-shaped slot 3 cooperates with the outer side of the copper strip, allowing the entire electrode sheet structure to be directly and quickly fitted onto the outer side of the steel strip, followed by subsequent welding.

[0026] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the U-shaped slot 3 includes an arc-shaped slot 31 and a rectangular slot 32. The arc-shaped slot 31 is formed on the plug-in end plate 2; the rectangular slot 32 is formed on the bottom side of the plug-in end plate 2. The rectangular slot 32 and the arc-shaped slot 31 are interconnected, and both the rectangular slot 32 and the arc-shaped slot 31 respectively cooperate with the outer side of the copper strip. Simultaneously, the lateral length of the rectangular slot 32 is consistent with the lateral diameter of the arc-shaped slot 31. This structure, through the cooperation of the arc-shaped slot 31 and the rectangular slot 32, allows the entire electrode sheet structure to be directly and quickly fitted onto the outer side of the steel strip.

[0027] Additionally, refer to Figures 2-3In another embodiment, the U-shaped slot 3 includes a circular slot 33 and a rectangular slot 32. The circular slot 33 is formed on the plug-in end plate 2; the rectangular slot 32 is formed on the bottom side of the plug-in end plate 2, and the rectangular slot 32 and the circular slot 33 are interconnected. The lateral diameter of the circular slot 33 is greater than the lateral length of the rectangular slot 32. At the same time, the circular slot 33 cooperates with the outer side of the copper strip, and the lateral length of the rectangular slot 32 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the copper strip.

[0028] When the plug-in end plate 2 is inserted into the outside of the copper strip, the module needs to be subjected to downward force so that the copper strip enters the interior of the circular slot 33 along the rectangular slot 32. Since the lateral length of the rectangular slot 32 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the copper strip, the copper strip can be confined within the circular slot 33, thereby making the connection between the plug-in end plate 2 and the copper strip more stable and facilitating the subsequent welding process.

[0029] Better, refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, inclined surfaces 34 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the rectangular slot 32. The two inclined surfaces 34 are in the shape of an "eight". With the provision of the two inclined surfaces 34, when the module is subjected to downward force, the rectangular slot 32 can be smoothly fitted into the outside of the copper strip with less force, so that the copper strip can enter the interior of the circular slot 33 more smoothly, thereby realizing the connection between the copper strip and the plug-in end plate 2.

[0030] In addition, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In another embodiment, the bottom side of the plug-in end plate 2 is provided with a circular slot 5 or a rectangular slot 6, which cooperates with the outer side of the copper strip; in this way, by setting the circular slot 5 or the rectangular slot 6, the plug-in end plate 2 can also be sleeved on the outer side of the copper strip to realize the connection between the plug-in end plate 2 and the copper strip.

[0031] Secondly, refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the clamping end 4 is installed at the top of the electrode sheet body 1. The clamping end 4 cooperates with other components inside the module to achieve effective mutual clamping and stable installation.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping end 4 includes a fixing plate 41, a clamping block 42, and a clamping end block 43. The fixing plate 41 is mounted on the top of the electrode sheet body 1 and is integrally formed with the electrode sheet body 1. Two clamping blocks 42 are provided, symmetrically mounted on one side of the top of the fixing plate 41. Two clamping end blocks 43 are provided, respectively mounted on the top of the two clamping blocks 42, and the two clamping end blocks 43 cooperate with each other to effectively clamp and install other components inside the module.

[0033] Preferably, limiting rods 44 are installed at the bottom of both clamping blocks 42. These two limiting rods 44 cooperate with other components inside the module to effectively stabilize and position the entire electrode structure, thereby ensuring that the electrode structure is securely installed inside the module.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the electrode body 1, the plug-in end plate 2, the fixing plate 41, the clamping block 42, the clamping end block 43, and the limiting end rod 44 are all made of beryllium copper or phosphor bronze, which have good elasticity and high solderability.

[0035] Therefore, the solution of this application, by setting the electrode sheet body 1, the plug-in end plate 2, the U-shaped slot 3 and the clamping end 4 to cooperate with each other, can directly and quickly fit the entire electrode sheet structure onto the outside of the steel strip, which can achieve the effect of simple and quick operation, saving labor and time; at the same time, the requirements for the copper strip are not high, and even if the copper strip is bent, the electrode sheet structure can be quickly fitted onto the copper strip, thereby achieving the effect of efficient installation of electrode sheet structures of multiple modules.

[0036] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
