[0002] In data centers and communication equipment rooms, PDU enclosures mostly adopt semi-enclosed or fully enclosed structures. The components are connected by fasteners such as screws and bolts. Tools are needed to fix them during installation, and multiple sets of screws are also needed to position them when connected to the cabinet in order to meet the basic protection and installation requirements of the power distribution equipment. In practical applications, existing PDU housings require repeated alignment of holes during assembly, and subsequent maintenance requires disassembling multiple fasteners, making the process quite cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-install PDU housing, which solves the problem of inconvenience in disassembly and assembly caused by the use of bolts or screws for connection in existing PDU housings.

[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A quick-install PDU housing includes a semi-enclosed housing. The semi-enclosed housing is elongated and has a U-shaped cross-section with an open top and open ends. A seat plate is slidably connected inside the opening of the semi-enclosed housing. An end baffle is provided at the open end of the semi-enclosed housing and is detachably fixed to the open end of the semi-enclosed housing by a snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0005] Optionally, the upper inner wall of the semi-enclosed shell is provided with two opposing slots, which extend along the length of the semi-enclosed shell. The base plate is provided with insertion strips on both sides along its length, and the insertion strips are respectively inserted into the slots. When installing the base plate, the base plate is inserted from the opening at one end, and the insertion strips on both sides are respectively inserted into the two slots to realize the connection between the base plate and the semi-enclosed shell.

[0006] Optionally, the locking mechanism includes symmetrically arranged positioning protrusions on the side of the end baffle near the open end, the positioning protrusions being inserted into the positioning grooves on the inner wall of the semi-enclosed housing, and a locking strip disposed on the end baffle. A groove is provided on the side wall of the semi-enclosed housing corresponding to the position of the locking strip, and an arc-shaped spring is provided in the groove. The arc-shaped spring protrudes towards the locking strip and abuts against the outer wall of the locking strip. A hemispherical block is provided on the side of the locking strip away from the end baffle near the arc-shaped spring. The hemispherical block abuts against the outer wall of the arc-shaped spring. Only one end of the arc-shaped spring is connected to the inside of the groove, and the other end is suspended in the groove.

[0007] Optionally, the upper end of the end baffle extends horizontally to the side away from the opening to form a connecting piece. The middle of the end of the connecting piece away from the opening is provided with a mounting hole. The lower end of the end baffle extends horizontally to the side away from the opening to form a gripping piece. The bottom surface of the gripping piece is provided with an arc-shaped groove that fits the shape of the fingers. The top surface of the connecting piece and the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove are respectively provided with a first anti-slip texture and a second anti-slip texture. The end baffle, gripping piece, connecting piece, locking strip, positioning protrusion, and hemispherical block are integrally constructed.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model, through the design of a slot, a connector strip, a positioning protrusion, and an elastic snap-fit ​​component, allows the base plate to be directly slid into the slot for installation during use. After the positioning protrusion of the end baffle is inserted into the positioning slot for positioning, the snap-fit ​​strip and the arc-shaped spring piece cooperate to automatically snap together, eliminating the need for tools to tighten screws. This achieves rapid assembly, greatly improves assembly efficiency, and facilitates maintenance.

[0009] 2. The present invention provides a connecting piece and a gripping piece on the end baffle. The bottom surface of the gripping piece is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and the surfaces of the two pieces are respectively provided with a first anti-slip texture and a second anti-slip texture. When disassembling and assembling the end baffle, the user can pinch the gripping piece and the connecting piece, and use the anti-slip texture to increase the friction, which makes it easier to apply force and thus makes the disassembly process of the PDU housing more convenient.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a quick-install PDU housing, including a semi-enclosed housing 1, which is elongated in shape and has a U-shaped cross-section with an open top along its length. Both ends of the semi-enclosed housing 1 are open. Two opposing slots 2 are formed on the inner wall of the upper end of the semi-enclosed housing 1 on both sides of the opening. The slots 2 extend along the length of the semi-enclosed housing 1. A base plate 3 is inserted into the opening of the semi-enclosed housing 1. Both sides of the base plate 3 extend horizontally outward to form insertion strips 4. The two insertion strips 4 are respectively inserted into the two slots 2.

[0018] The semi-enclosed shell 1 has an end baffle 5 at its open end. A positioning protrusion 6 is formed on the side of the end baffle 5 near the open end, directly opposite the slot 2. A positioning groove 17 is formed on the inner wall of the semi-enclosed shell 1 corresponding to the positioning protrusion 6. The positioning protrusion 6 is inserted into the positioning groove 17. Each of the four corners of the end baffle 5 near the positioning protrusion 6 is fixed with a retaining strip 7. The length of the positioning protrusion 6 is longer than the length of the retaining strip 7. A groove 8 is formed on the side wall of the semi-enclosed shell 1 opposite the retaining strip 7. An arc-shaped spring piece 9 is formed on the inner wall of the groove 8. The arc-shaped spring piece 9 protrudes towards the opposite side of the retaining strip 7, and only one end of the arc-shaped spring piece 9 is connected to the inside of the groove 8, while the other end is suspended in the groove 8. The protruding side of the arc-shaped spring piece 9 abuts against the outer wall of the retaining strip 7. A hemispherical block 10 is formed on the side of the retaining strip 7 away from the end baffle 5 near the arc-shaped spring piece 9. The hemispherical block 10 also abuts against the outer wall of the arc-shaped spring piece 9. The arc-shaped spring piece 9 is used to confine the end baffle 5 within the opening, completing the assembly of the entire housing. The assembly and disassembly process is faster and more convenient than the traditional screw connection method.

[0019] The upper end of the end baffle 5 extends horizontally to the side away from the opening to form a connecting piece 11. The middle of the end of the connecting piece 11 away from the opening has a mounting hole 12. When the entire PDU housing is installed inside the cabinet, the end baffles 5 on both sides are fixed to the inside of the cabinet by passing bolts or screws through the mounting hole 12, thus completing the connection between the entire PDU and the cabinet.

[0020] The lower end of the end baffle 5 extends horizontally to the side away from the opening to form a grip piece 13. The bottom surface of the grip piece 13 forms an arc-shaped groove 14, which is adapted to the shape of the fingers. The top surface of the connecting piece 11 is provided with first anti-slip textures 15 at equal intervals opposite to the arc-shaped groove 14, and the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 14 is provided with second anti-slip textures 16 at equal intervals. This design facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the end baffle 5. That is, the disassembly and assembly can be carried out by pinching the grip piece 13 and the connecting piece 11. The end baffle 5, grip piece 13, connecting piece 11, locking strip 7, positioning protrusion 6 and hemispherical block 10 are integrated into one piece.

[0021] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
