Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of low-voltage power distribution technology, and more specifically, to a surge protector that is easy to install and remove. Background Technology
[0002] A surge protector, also known as a lightning arrester, is an electronic device that provides safety protection for various electronic devices, instruments, and communication lines. When a surge current or voltage spike is suddenly generated in an electrical circuit or communication line due to external interference, the surge protector can conduct and divert the current in a very short time, thereby preventing the surge from damaging other equipment in the circuit.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that existing surge protectors can only be fixed with screws and require drilling, making installation and disassembly inconvenient and time-consuming, increasing the burden on staff and causing inconvenience. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have researched and improved the existing structure to provide a surge protector that is easy to install and disassemble, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content
[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a surge protector that is easy to install and remove. This solution is equipped with a pair of synchronously reverse-adjustable snap-fit components, which can quickly install and remove the protector without the need for screws, thus improving the convenience of installation and removal. In addition, a limit component is set to adjust the movement state of the snap-fit components, reducing the occurrence of loosening problems and ensuring the installation stability of the protector.
[0006] 2. Technical Solution
[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0008] A surge protector that is easy to install and disassemble includes a protector body, a mounting plate is provided on the rear side of the protector body, a lead screw is centrally installed on the top surface of the mounting plate, a limit seat is provided on one side of the top surface of the mounting plate, a limit mechanism is provided at the top of the lead screw, and a mounting groove is centrally opened on the rear side of the protector body, with snap-fit grooves provided on both the upper and lower sides of the mounting groove.
[0009] The outer surface of the lead screw has two rotating threads, and a ball slider is fitted on the outer side of the rotating threads. A pair of locking rods are fixedly connected to one side of the ball slider.
[0010] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a handle, a connecting rod is movably connected to the bottom end of the handle, and limiting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the handle, and limiting grooves are formed inside both sides of the connecting rod.
[0011] Furthermore, the lower end of the lead screw and the ball slider are both located inside the mounting plate, and the lead screw is movably connected to the mounting plate, while the ball slider is slidably connected to the lead screw.
[0012] Furthermore, the two sections of the rotating thread are arranged with the same length but opposite directions.
[0013] Furthermore, the two pairs of locking rods are symmetrically arranged, and the outer end of the locking rod passes through the mounting plate and is locked into the locking groove.
[0014] Furthermore, the handle and the limiting seat are snapped together, the top of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw, and the limiting block is adapted to the limiting groove.
[0015] 3. Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0017] (1) This solution uses the rotation of the lead screw to cooperate with two rotating threads of the same length but opposite direction to make the two ball sliders move synchronously in opposite directions. The ball sliders drive the snap-fit rod to move, and the snap-fit rod snaps into the snap-fit groove, so that the protector body is fixed on the front side of the mounting plate, thus completing the installation of the protector. Conversely, the lead screw rotates in the opposite direction to remove the protector. Compared with the existing technology, the setting of a pair of synchronously reverse-adjustable snap-fit components eliminates the need for screws, allowing for quick installation and removal of the protector and improving the ease of installation and removal of the protector.
[0018] (2) By setting a limiting mechanism, the adjustment handle is in a vertical state, then one side of the limiting block is engaged with one side of the limiting groove, and the handle and the connecting rod are connected as a whole. The handle and the connecting rod drive the screw to rotate. When the handle is in a horizontal state, it is engaged with the limiting seat, then the position of the handle is fixed, thereby fixing the position of the connecting rod and the screw, reducing the loosening of the screw. Compared with the prior art, setting a limiting component can adjust the activity state of the engaging component, reduce the occurrence of loosening problems, and ensure the installation stability of the protector.

[0025] Example:
[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 A surge protector that is easy to install and disassemble includes a protector body 1, a mounting plate 2 is provided on the rear side of the protector body 1, a lead screw 3 is provided through the center of the top surface of the mounting plate 2, and a limit seat 4 is provided on one side of the top surface of the mounting plate 2. A limit mechanism 5 is provided at the top of the lead screw 3. A mounting groove 6 is provided in the center of the rear side of the protector body 1, and a snap-fit groove 7 is provided on both the upper and lower sides of the mounting groove 6.
[0027] The outer surface of the lead screw 3 is provided with two rotating threads 8. A ball slider 9 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating threads 8. A pair of locking rods 10 are fixedly connected to one side of the ball slider 9. The adjusting handle 11 is in a vertical state. The lead screw 3 is driven to rotate by the handle 11 in conjunction with the connecting rod 12.
[0028] See Figure 4 The limiting mechanism 5 includes a handle 11, with a connecting rod 12 movably connected to the bottom end of the handle 11. Limiting blocks 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom end of the handle 11. Limiting grooves 14 are opened on both sides inside the connecting rod 12. The limiting mechanism 5 is provided in order to limit the adjustment component and ensure the installation stability of the protector.
[0029] See Figure 3 The lower end of the lead screw 3 and the ball slider 9 are both located inside the mounting plate 2, and the lead screw 3 is movably connected to the mounting plate 2. The ball slider 9 is slidably connected to the lead screw 3, and the movement of the ball slider 9 drives the locking rod 10 to move synchronously.
[0030] See Figure 3The two rotating threads 8 are of the same length but opposite in direction. The rotation of the screw 3, in conjunction with the two rotating threads 8 of the same length but opposite in direction, causes the two ball sliders 9 to move synchronously in opposite directions.
[0031] See Figure 2 Two pairs of snap-fit rods 10 are symmetrically arranged, and one end of the snap-fit rod 10 on the outer side passes through the mounting plate 2 and is snapped into the snap-fit groove 7. The snap-fit rod 10 is snapped into the snap-fit groove 7, so that the protector body 1 is fixed on the front side of the mounting plate 2, and the installation of the protector is completed.
[0032] See Figure 4 The handle 11 is engaged with the limiting seat 4, the connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw 3, the limiting block 13 is adapted to the limiting groove 14, and when the handle 11 is rotated to a horizontal state, it engages with the limiting seat 4, thus fixing the position of the handle 11, thereby fixing the positions of the connecting rod 12 and the lead screw 3.
[0033] In use: Install the device inside the power distribution equipment using the bolt mounting plate 2. Then, move the front side of the mounting plate 2 of the protector body 1 so that the front side of the mounting plate 2 fits into the mounting groove 6 on the rear side of the protector body 1. Then, adjust the handle 11 to a vertical position, so that one side of the limiting block 13 engages with one side of the limiting groove 14. The handle 11 and the connecting rod 12 are then connected as a whole. Through the handle 11 and the connecting rod 12, the lead screw 3 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 3, in conjunction with two rotating threads 8 of the same length but opposite directions, causes the two ball sliders 9 to move synchronously in opposite directions. 9. Move the locking rod 10, and the locking rod 10 engages with the locking groove 7, fixing the protector body 1 to the front side of the mounting plate 2, completing the installation of the protector. Then, rotate the handle 11 to a horizontal position, engaging with the limit seat 4, thus fixing the position of the handle 11, which in turn fixes the positions of the connecting rod 12 and the lead screw 3, reducing the possibility of the lead screw 3 loosening and ensuring the installation stability of the protector body 1. Conversely, adjust the handle 11 to a vertical position, causing the handle 11 to drive the lead screw 3 to rotate in the opposite direction, thus separating the locking rod 10 from the locking groove 7, allowing the protector body 1 to be disassembled.
