Description

FIELD

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of electrical equipment, and more particularly, to a surge protector.

BACKGROUND

A surge protector is an electronic apparatus that provides safety protection for various electronic devices, instruments, and communication lines. When a spike current or voltage is suddenly generated in an electrical circuit or a communication line due to external disturbance, the surge protector can shunt in a very short time, thereby avoiding damage to other devices in the circuit by surge.
The surge protector includes a functional module and a base provided for plugging and unplugging of the functional module. When the functional module has a replacement requirement, the functional module needs to be unplugged from the base, and at this time, the smaller a plugging force between the functional module and the base is set, the convenient it is to unplug the functional module from the base. However, in a normal working process of the surge protector, the functional module may be affected by some shock and vibration in a usage environment, so as to be easily separated from the base, and therefore, an additional locking structure is required between the functional module and the base to prevent the functional module from separating from the base.

The surge protector (200) of claim 1, characterized in that the limiting component (1) comprises a first slot (12) provided for the latching assembly (2) to extend into, and the first slot (12) is disposed on the side wall of the functional module (201) to prevent the functional module (201) from being plugged into and unplugged from the recessed part (2021) in the plugging-unplugging direction (X) when the latching assembly (2) extends into the first slot (12).
The surge protector (200) of claim 8, characterized in that the latching assembly (2) comprises:
a rotating blocking component (23) comprising a rotating main part (230), a second positioning part (231) and a blocking part (232), the rotating main part (230) being disposed against the installation part (2022), the second positioning part (231) being disposed on a side of the rotating main part (230) adjacent to the installation part (2022), and the blocking part (232) being disposed on the second positioning part (231) and extending in a direction perpendicular to an axis of the second positioning part (231); and

a rotating installation groove (24) comprising a second positioning pin groove (241) provided for inserting of the second positioning part (231) and a second slot (242) provided for the blocking part (232) to pass through, the second positioning pin groove (241) is disposed at a position corresponding to the rotating blocking component (23) on the installation part (2022), the second slot (242) is disposed on a side wall of the recessed part (2021), and a position of the second slot (242) coincides with a position of the first slot (12) when the functional module (201) is completely plugged into the recessed part (2021).
The surge protector (200) of claim 9, characterized in that the rotating blocking component (23) further comprises a second driving part (233) disposed on the rotating main part (230), the second driving part (233) extends in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the second positioning part (231) and offset relative to an extending direction of the blocking part (232) by a predetermined angle, the second driving part (233) can drive the rotating main part (230), the second positioning part (231) and the blocking part (232) to rotate relative to the second positioning pin groove (241) in a rotation direction (Z) when the external force in the rotation direction (Z) is received, and the blocking part (232) can extend into the second slot (242) under driving of the second driving part (233) when the functional module (201) is completely plugged into the recessed part (2021).
The surge protector (200) of claim 9, characterized in that when the functional module (201) is completely plugged into the recessed part (2021) and the blocking part (232) extends into the second slot (242), the latching assembly (2) is in the locking position, so that the blocking part (232) can abut against the second slot (242) to prevent the functional module (201) from being unplugged from the recessed part (2021) in the plugging-unplugging direction (X), and when the functional module (201) is completely plugged into the recessed part (2021) and the blocking part (232) does not extend into the second slot (242), the latching assembly (2) is in the unlocking position, so that the functional module (201) can be unplugged from the recessed part (2021) in the plugging-unplugging direction (X).
