Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ammeters, and more particularly to an assembly structure for a hot-swappable ammeter. Background Technology

[0002] PDU (Power Distribution Unit) sockets are power management devices used in computer rooms, server racks, power equipment, and other similar settings. They can provide centralized power supply and protection for multiple terminal devices. In order to protect against abnormal conditions such as overload and short circuit in the electrical system and to monitor the current usage in real time, PDU sockets are usually equipped with an ammeter.

[0003] In existing technologies, the ammeters on PDU sockets are mostly installed in a protruding manner, meaning the ammeter body protrudes from the socket's outer shell. This not only affects the aesthetics and compactness of the overall structure but also makes them susceptible to damage from external impacts during handling, installation, or use. Furthermore, the ammeter and the PDU socket's circuit board are fixed together, meaning that when the ammeter needs to be replaced, it is often impossible to disassemble it separately; the entire circuit board must be pulled out, which is not only complex to disassemble and reassemble but also affects the stability of the wiring connections. In addition, the circuit boards in some PDU sockets are exposed, making them susceptible to corrosion from external dust or moisture when replacing the ammeter, thus affecting and reducing the operational reliability of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an assembly structure for a hot-swappable ammeter that is compact and easy to disassemble and replace.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an assembly structure for a hot-swappable ammeter, comprising a socket body, a housing, an ammeter body, a circuit board, plug-in terminals, and locking bolts.

[0007] The socket body has an embedding groove at its top, and the receiving box is fitted into the embedding groove. The receiving box has a partition inside, which is used to divide the internal space of the receiving box into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The partition has a slot for connecting the upper chamber and the lower chamber.

[0008] The circuit board is fixedly connected to the lower cavity by bolts, the plug-in terminal is located in the slot and the bottom of the plug-in terminal is connected to the circuit board, the ammeter body is located in the upper cavity, and the bottom of the ammeter body is provided with a conductive socket for hot-plugging connection with the plug-in terminal;

[0009] The receiving box is provided with positioning grooves at both ends, and a threaded sleeve is provided on the positioning groove. The ammeter body is provided with positioning blocks at both ends that are adapted to the shape of the positioning groove. The locking bolt passes through the positioning block and is connected to the threaded sleeve by threads.

[0010] Using the above technical solution, in the assembly structure of the hot-swappable ammeter, the socket body includes a track housing and a panel, the two inner side walls of the track housing are respectively provided with sliding grooves, and the panel is locked in the sliding grooves.

[0011] In the assembly structure of the hot-swappable ammeter using the above technical solution, a limiting cover is provided on the top of the receiving box, and the width of the limiting cover is greater than the width of the embedding groove.

[0012] The side wall of the accommodating box is provided with an elastic locking block, and a locking gap is formed between the elastic locking block and the bottom surface of the limiting cover plate for locking the panel.

[0013] The hot-swappable ammeter assembly structure, which adopts the above technical solution, also includes a retaining spring, which is sleeved on the locking bolt and located between the positioning block and the positioning groove.

[0014] Using the above technical solution, in the assembly structure of the hot-swappable ammeter, the height of the upper surface of the ammeter body is not higher than the height of the upper surface of the receiving box.

[0015] In the assembly structure of the hot-swappable ammeter using the above technical solution, the panel is provided with an arc-shaped groove for avoiding the installation of the threaded sleeve.

[0016] In the assembly structure of the hot-swappable ammeter using the above technical solution, the locking bolt is a countersunk bolt.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The socket body of this utility model has an embedding groove on its top, which can be used to position and install the receiving box, so that the receiving box is firmly embedded in a snap-fit ​​manner, which facilitates subsequent assembly and replacement operations. When the ammeter body is vertically inserted into the receiving box, the conductive socket can form a stable hot-swappable connection with the plug-in terminal. With this design, when the ammeter needs to be replaced, only the ammeter body needs to be removed to achieve a quick pull-out operation without disassembling the circuit board, which effectively improves the efficiency of ammeter disassembly and replacement, saves time and effort, and avoids problems such as loose wiring or accidental contact caused by replacement operations, which effectively improves the safety of ammeter disassembly and replacement.

It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component centrally located at the same time.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an assembly structure for a hot-swappable ammeter, including a socket body 1, a housing 2, an ammeter body 3, a circuit board 4, plug-in terminals 5, and locking bolts 6. The socket body 1 has an embedding groove 100 on its top, and the housing 2 is snapped into the embedding groove 100. The housing 2 has a partition 21 inside, which is used to divide the internal space of the housing 2 into an upper chamber 211 and a lower chamber 212. The partition 21 has a slot 210 for connecting the upper chamber 211 and the lower chamber 212. The embedding groove 100 on the top of the socket body 1 can be used to position and install the housing 2, so that the housing 2 is firmly embedded in a snap-fit ​​manner, which facilitates subsequent assembly and replacement operations.

[0031] The circuit board 4 is fixedly connected to the lower chamber 212 by bolts. The plug-in terminal 5 is located in the slot 210, and the bottom of the plug-in terminal 5 is connected to the circuit board 4. The ammeter body 3 is located in the upper chamber 211. The bottom of the ammeter body 3 is provided with a conductive socket 30 for hot-plugging connection with the plug-in terminal 5. The housing 2 is used to carry the ammeter body 3 and the circuit board 4. The space inside is divided into an upper chamber 211 and a lower chamber 212 by a partition 21. The upper chamber 211 is used to install the ammeter body 3, which facilitates the display of current information and replacement operation. The lower chamber 212 is used to fix the circuit board 4, which isolates the circuit board 4 from the external environment and prevents the circuit board 4 from being affected by external dust or moisture, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical connection. It should be noted that when the ammeter body 3 is vertically inserted into the housing 2, the conductive socket 30 forms a stable hot-swappable connection with the plug-in terminal 5. With this configuration, when the ammeter needs to be replaced, only the ammeter body 3 needs to be removed to achieve a quick pull-out operation without disassembling the circuit board 4. This effectively improves the efficiency of ammeter disassembly and replacement, saves time and effort, and avoids problems such as loose wiring or accidental contact caused by replacement operations, thus effectively improving the safety of ammeter disassembly and replacement.

[0032] The housing 2 has positioning grooves 22 at both ends, and threaded sleeves 221 are provided on the positioning grooves 22. The ammeter body 3 has positioning blocks 31 at both ends that are adapted to the shape of the positioning grooves 22. The locking bolts 6 pass through the positioning blocks 31 and are connected to the threaded sleeves 221 by threads. When the ammeter body 3 is inserted into the upper cavity 211 of the housing 2, the positioning blocks 31 on both sides are embedded in the positioning grooves 22, thereby achieving the initial positioning of the ammeter body 3. Subsequently, the locking bolts 6 pass through the positioning blocks 31 in sequence and are screwed into the threaded sleeves 221. The threaded engagement achieves reliable fixation between the ammeter body 3 and the housing 2, avoiding the problem of poor contact caused by the loosening of the ammeter body 3. When replacing the ammeter body 3, the positioning blocks 31 can be released by removing the locking bolts 6, thereby achieving quick removal of the ammeter body 3, effectively improving the stability of the ammeter assembly structure and the convenience of disassembly.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the socket body 1 further includes a track housing 11 and a panel 12. The track housing 11 has two inner sidewalls respectively provided with sliding grooves 110, and the panel 12 is fitted into the sliding grooves 110. When the panel 12 needs to be installed, it can be easily inserted into the sliding grooves 110. Through the guiding function of the sliding grooves 110, the panel 12 can be stably positioned and slid into the track housing 11, thereby improving the ease of installation of the panel 12 and preventing misalignment or tilting between the panel 12 and the socket body 1, effectively improving the overall assembly efficiency and precision.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the receiving box 2 is provided with a limiting cover plate 23, the width of which is greater than the width of the embedding groove 100. The side wall of the receiving box 2 is provided with an elastic locking block 24, and a locking gap is formed between the elastic locking block 24 and the bottom surface of the limiting cover plate 23 for locking the panel 12. During assembly, when the receiving box 2 is inserted into the embedding groove 100, the elastic locking block 24 automatically compresses and returns to its original shape after the panel 12 is inserted into the locking gap, thus securing the receiving box 2 firmly within the embedding groove 100, effectively improving the ease of assembly between the receiving box 2 and the socket body 1.

[0035] like Figure 5As shown, it further includes a retaining spring 61, which is sleeved on the locking bolt 6 and located between the positioning block 31 and the positioning groove 22. When the locking bolt 6 is loosened, the retaining spring 61 applies an upward force through its elastic force, forcing the positioning block 31 to pop out of the positioning groove 22, thereby facilitating the removal of the ammeter body 3 for replacement and effectively improving maintenance efficiency.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, furthermore, the height of the upper surface of the ammeter body 3 is not higher than the height of the upper surface of the housing 2. In this way, the surface of the ammeter body 3 will not protrude after assembly, thereby avoiding damage to the ammeter body 3 caused by external impact.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the panel 12 is further provided with an arc-shaped groove 120 for avoiding the installation of the threaded sleeve 221, so as to facilitate the precise alignment and installation between the receiving box 2 and the socket body 1.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the locking bolt 6 is a countersunk bolt.

[0039] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
