[0030] To facilitate understanding of the power supply frame assembly provided in this application embodiment, the application scenarios of the power supply frame assembly are described below.

[0031] The power socket 1 can be installed in power distribution cabinets and other electrical facilities. It is an important component for power distribution. Specifically, the power supply delivers electrical energy to the power socket 1, and then the power socket 1 distributes the power to the appliances. As the power system continues to upgrade, the number of appliances and their power demand will also increase. In order to meet the power distribution needs, the number of power sockets 1 needs to be increased accordingly.

[0032] In the prior art, as the number of power sockets 1 increases, multiple power sockets 1 need to be connected to fix the position of the power sockets 1 and ensure the stability of power supply.

[0033] To improve the ease of connection between multiple power supply frames 1, this application provides a power supply frame assembly.

[0034] In some implementations, see Figure 1 The power socket assembly includes multiple power sockets 1 and at least one connector 2. The multiple power sockets 1 are stacked along a first direction. Each power socket 1 has at least one circumferential surface around the first direction with a plug-in structure 11. At least one connector 2 is plugged into the plug-in structure 11 to fix the multiple power sockets 1.

[0035] In the above solution, during the process of upgrading the number of power sockets 1, after stacking multiple power sockets 1, it is only necessary to plug the connector 2 into the plug-in structure 11 of multiple power sockets 1 to fix the multiple power sockets 1 together. The structure is simple and improves the convenience of connecting the power sockets 1.

[0036] In some examples, the number of power sockets 1 in the power socket assembly can be 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

[0037] In some examples, the power supply frame 1 can be a flat cuboid structure, and the first direction can be the height direction of the power supply frame 1, that is, multiple power supply frames 1 are stacked along the height direction. Meanwhile, the plug-in structure 11 can be located on the periphery of the power supply frame 1 in the height direction. When the power supply frame 1 is cuboid, the periphery of the power supply frame 1 in the thickness direction has four sides, and the plug-in structure 11 can be located on any one of the four sides.

[0038] In some examples, there may be only one plug-in structure 11 on each power socket 1. In this case, one plug-in 2 can be plugged into multiple plug-in structures 11 of the power socket 1 simultaneously.

[0039] In other examples, there can be multiple plug-in structures 11 on each power socket 1. In this case, multiple plug-in pieces 2 can be provided, and each plug-in piece 2 can be plugged into the plug-in structures 11 of multiple power socket 1 at the same time; alternatively, each plug-in piece 2 can be connected to only two adjacent power socket 1.

[0040] In some implementations, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The plug-in structure 11 includes at least one pair of claws 111. Each pair of claws 111 includes two claws 111 arranged along a second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. A plug-in space is formed between the two claws 111. The plug-in component 2 is plugged into the multiple plug-in spaces formed by the multiple pairs of claws 111 of the multiple power plug frames 1.

[0041] In the above solution, at least one pair of grippers 111 are provided along the second direction in the power socket 1, and a plug-in space is formed between the two grippers 111. After the plug-in 2 is plugged into the plug-in space, the plug-in 2 can restrict the relative movement of multiple power sockets 1 along the second direction. The structure is simple, easy to operate, and improves the convenience of connecting multiple power sockets 1.

[0042] In some examples, the number of pairs of claws 111 along the second direction can be one, two, three, etc., and the stability of the connection between power sockets 1 can be improved by increasing the number of claws 111 in the second direction.

[0043] In some examples, the number of pairs of claws 111 along the first direction can be one, two, three, etc. The stability of the connection between the connector 2 and the claws 111 can be improved by increasing the number of claws 111 in the first direction.

[0044] In some other embodiments, a plug-in ring may be provided around the circumference of the power socket 1 in the first direction, with the axis of the plug-in ring parallel to the first direction. The plug-in member 2 may be a plug rod, which is plugged into and connected to the plug-in ring.

[0045] In some implementations, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The connector 2 includes a connector body 21 and a limiting structure disposed on the connector body 21. The connector body 21 is inserted into multiple connector spaces, and the limiting structure is used to limit the position of the connector body 21 relative to the multiple power sockets 1 along a first direction.

[0046] In the above scheme, a limiting structure is provided on the connector body 21. By limiting the position of the connector body 21 relative to the multiple power sockets 1 along the first direction, the stability of the connection between the connector 2 and the power socket 1 can be improved.

[0047] In other embodiments, a limiting structure may be provided on the power socket 1 to restrict the position of the connector body 21 relative to the plurality of power sockets 1 along the first direction. For example, a threaded hole may be provided on the power socket 1, and a through hole may be provided on the connector body 21. A bolt may be inserted into the through hole and connected to the threaded hole on the power socket 1, thereby restricting the position of the connector body 21 relative to the plurality of power sockets 1 along the first direction.

[0048] In some implementations, see Figure 3 The limiting structure includes limiting portions 22 and latching portions 23 arranged at intervals along a first direction. Along the first direction, the limiting portions 22 stop at one end of the set of claws 111 of the plurality of power plug frames 1, and the latching portions 23 stop at at least at the other end of the set of claws 111 of the plurality of power plug frames 1.

[0049] In the above solution, the limiting part 22 and the latching part 23 respectively stop at both ends of the set of claws 111, which can limit the position of the connector body 21 relative to the multiple power sockets 1 in the first direction. The structure is simple and easy to operate, and the stability of the connection between the connector 2 and the multiple power sockets 1 is improved.

[0050] It should be noted that "the set of claws 111 of multiple power socket frames 1" refers to all the claws 111 of multiple power socket frames 1 that cooperate with the same connector 2 along the first direction.

[0051] In some examples, the limiting structure includes a limiting part 22 and a latching part 23, the limiting part 22 stopping at one end of the set of claws 111 of the plurality of power socket frames 1, and the latching part 23 stopping at the other end of the set of claws 111 of the plurality of power socket frames 1.

[0052] In other examples, the limiting structure includes multiple limiting parts 22 and multiple latching parts 23. For example, each gripper 111 has a limiting part 22 and a latching part 23 on each side.

[0053] In some specific implementation methods, see [reference] Figure 3 The number of latching parts 23 is multiple, and along the first direction, the multiple latching parts 23 respectively stop at one end of the claws 111 of the multiple power plug frames 1 that are opposite to the limiting part 22. By providing latching parts 23 at the ends of the claws 111 of the multiple power plug frames 1 that are opposite to the limiting part 22, the stability of the connection between the plug-in 2 and the power plug frame 1 is improved.

[0054] In some implementations, see Figure 3The latching part 23 includes an elastic arm 231 extending along a first direction and a groove for accommodating the elastic arm 231. The end of the elastic arm 231 away from the limiting part 22 is provided with a protrusion 232. The latching part 23 is formed by the protrusion 232 and the elastic arm 231. When the plug-in structure 11 is inserted into the plug-in member 2, the elastic arm 231 can automatically swing into the groove so that the protrusion 232 can pass smoothly under the gripper 111. The structure is simple and improves the convenience of connecting multiple power plug frames 1.

[0055] In some examples, the side of the protrusion 232 facing away from the elastic arm 231 can be set as a slope to improve the smoothness of the protrusion 232 passing under the gripper 111.

[0056] In some examples, the side of the protrusion 232 facing the elastic arm 231 can be a straight surface to improve the stability of the engagement between the protrusion 232 and the gripper 111.

[0057] In some implementations, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The power socket frame 1 includes a first peripheral surface 12 and a second peripheral surface 13, both of which are provided with a plug-in structure 11. In this way, plug-in structures 11 are provided on both sides of the power socket frame 1 and connected by plug-in parts 2, thereby improving the stability of the connection between multiple power socket frames 1.

[0058] In some other embodiments, the plug-in structure 11 can be provided on both the third circumferential surface 15 and the fourth circumferential surface, which are two adjacent circumferential surfaces of the power supply frame 1.

[0059] In some implementations, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The power socket 1 also includes an output bar 14 and a third peripheral surface 15. The third peripheral surface 15 is located between the first peripheral surface 12 and the second peripheral surface 13, and the output bar 14 is disposed on the third peripheral surface 15. The output bar 14 is used to input power to electrical appliances. The first peripheral surface 12 and the second peripheral surface 13 are provided with a plug-in structure 11. By placing the output bar 14 on the third peripheral surface 15 between the first peripheral surface 12 and the second peripheral surface 13, contact between the output bar 14 and other components can be avoided when multiple power sockets 1 are connected, thus improving operational safety.

[0060] In some other embodiments, the output row 14 may be located on the first circumferential surface 12 or the second circumferential surface 13.

[0061] In some examples, there are two output rows 14 in each power socket 1, and the two output rows 14 are spaced apart.

[0062] In some implementations, see Figure 2 and Figure 4The third peripheral surface 15 is provided with a through hole 151. Along the first direction, a flange structure 152 is provided on one side of the through hole 151. The output row 14 passes through the through hole 151 and is connected to the flange structure 152. The flange structure 152 is provided on the third peripheral surface 15 of the power socket 1, and the output row 14 is connected to the flange structure 152, which improves the convenience of fixing the output row 14.

[0063] In some examples, the third peripheral surface 15 of the power socket 1 is made of sheet metal, and the third through hole 151 is made by stamping. A flange structure 152 is reserved when stamping the through hole 151. After stamping, the flange structure 152 is folded over by bending to make it perpendicular to the first direction.

[0064] In some examples, the flange structure 152 is provided with a connection hole in which a bolt can be inserted and connected to the output row 14 to fix the output row 14 to the flange structure 152.

[0065] In some examples, an insulating element is provided between the flange structure 152 and the output row 14 to prevent the outer casing of the power socket 1 from becoming live. The insulating element may be a rubber gasket or the like.

[0066] In some implementations, see Figure 4 It also includes a U-shaped connector 3, which is used to connect multiple output bars 14 of the power supply frame 1 in parallel. Connecting multiple output bars 14 of the power supply frame 1 in parallel via the U-shaped connector 3 has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0067] In some examples, the U-shaped connector 3 can be connected to the output port 14 by bolts.

[0068] In some examples, when there are more than two power sockets 1, multiple U-shaped connectors 3 can be used to connect the output rows 14 of two adjacent power sockets 1.

[0069] In some other implementations, multiple power socket 1 outputs 14 can be connected in parallel using wires.

[0070] In the description of the embodiments of this application, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0071] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
