Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PDU socket technology, and in particular to a PDU socket wiring device. Background Technology

[0002] A PDU (Power Distribution Unit) socket is a power management device designed for server racks, data centers, or industrial environments to distribute power efficiently and safely. Compared to ordinary sockets, PDUs have higher load capacity, intelligent monitoring functions, and modular design, making them suitable for scenarios with stringent power stability requirements.

[0003] The existing PDU sockets have the following defects in wiring: First, the wiring process is cumbersome, requiring the disassembly of the end plate and bracket. This step not only increases the difficulty and complexity of wiring but also significantly reduces wiring efficiency, making the installation and maintenance process time-consuming and labor-intensive. Second, in actual wiring practice, there is a lack of an effective wire management mechanism. When inserting the live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire into the wiring hole, confusion and misalignment easily occur due to the lack of clear guidance and separation. This undoubtedly increases the error rate of wiring and poses a potential threat to the safety and stability of the circuit. Third, the pull-out terminal design of the existing PDU sockets has defects. The screw is prone to excessive disengagement after loosening, or even disengagement from the pull-out terminal without restriction, resulting in easy loss of the screw. At the same time, when tightening, the lack of necessary limiting structures greatly increases the difficulty of operation, which not only affects installation efficiency but may also damage the equipment or cause safety hazards due to improper operation.

A copper component 412 is provided on the housing 41, and the copper component 412 is fitted into the lifting terminal 410. A second through hole 412 is formed on the copper component 412. 13. A baffle 415 is provided on one outer wall of the housing 41, and a second slot 416 is provided on the baffle 415. A second buckle 417 is provided on one outer wall of the housing 41 at the position corresponding to the second slot 416, and the second buckle 417 is engaged in the second slot 416. The second slot 416 and the second buckle 417 are used to fix the baffle 415. A first buckle 46 is provided on both outer walls of the inner cover 45, and a first slot 47 is provided on both outer walls of the housing 41 at the position corresponding to the first buckle 46. The first buckle 46 is engaged in the first slot 47. The first buckle 46 and the first slot 47 are used to fix the inner cover 45. A partition rib 420 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 41. The partition rib 420 is used to separate the sub-wires from entering the corresponding wiring holes 414. A fixing screw 419 is fitted onto the flip cover 418 and is threaded into the housing 41. The fixing screw 419 is used to fix the flip cover 418. End plates 2 are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer shell 1. A bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the end plates 2. A circuit breaker 5 and a socket unit 6 are fixedly connected to the outer shell 1. The end plates 2 are used to close the outer shell 1 and fix the PDU socket as a whole through the bracket 3. The circuit breaker 5 is used to control the circuit opening and closing. The socket unit 6 is used to connect the load plug for power supply.

[0023] Working principle: When wiring the PDU socket using this utility model, the wiring operation is performed through the wiring assembly 4. Specifically, first, unscrew the fixing screw 419, rotate to open the flip cover 418. The flip cover 418 is rotatably connected to the housing 41 via the pivot 49, realizing the flip function. Insert the main cable into the housing 41 through the first through hole 42 and pass through the pressure plate 43. Subsequently, tighten the pressure screw 44 to secure the pressure plate 43 and press and fix the main cable. Generally, due to structural limitations, the first through hole 42 for the power cable in general products is designed to be small, and can only be used for low-current power cables. The first through hole 42 of the large-size power cable is too small, making it difficult for the wire to fit. Therefore, the first through hole 42 is usually enlarged. However, when using small-size wires, because the wires are thinner, a large amount of space is exposed in the upper part after the pressure plate 43 is fixed. During safety testing, a 1mm probe can be inserted and touch a live part. To avoid this problem, a limiting rib 422 is set on the pressure plate 43. When using small-size power cables, it fills the space exposed in the upper part after the pressure plate 43 is fixed, preventing a 1mm probe from touching a live part during safety testing. The main line is split into three sub-wires. The three wires—neutral, live, and ground—only need to be slightly separated with a tool. Guided by the separating rib 420, they can be smoothly inserted into their corresponding wiring holes 414 and pass through the lifting terminal 410. The wiring bolt 48 is then tightened. The wiring bolt 48 is positioned and limited by the inner cover 45 to prevent detachment and facilitate wiring fixation. The inner cover 45 is secured by the first buckle 46 and the first slot 47. The wiring bolt 48 passes through the third through hole 421 and enters the screw hole 411, pressing the sub-wire and fixing the terminal wiring. The PDU internal sub-wire... The wire passes through the second through hole 413 on the copper part 412. After the wire is threaded, it is fixed by soldering, commonly known as hook soldering. The flat surface next to the second through hole 413 can also be used for spot welding to achieve dual-function selection welding. The copper part 412 is fixed by the baffle 415 to prevent the copper part 412 from moving during wiring. The baffle 415 is fixed to the housing 41 by the second slot 416 and the second buckle 417. The end plate 2 on the outer shell 1 is used to close the outer shell 1 and fix the PDU socket as a whole by the bracket 3. The circuit breaker 5 is used to control the circuit opening and closing. The socket unit 6 is used to connect the load plug for power supply.
