Description

FIELD



[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of electrical equipment, and more particularly, to a surge protector.

BACKGROUND



[0002] 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.

[0003] 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.

SUMMARY



[0004] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a surge protector to at least partially solve above problems.

[0005] In a first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a surge protector, including: a functional module; a base including a recessed part and an installation part, wherein the recessed part is provided for plugging and unplugging of the functional module in a plugging-unplugging direction; a limiting component disposed on a side wall of the functional module; and a latching assembly disposed on the installation part of the base and capable of matching with the limiting component, wherein when the latching assembly is in the unlocking position, the latching assembly allows the functional module to be plugged into and unplugged from the base in the plugging-unplugging direction, and when the latching assembly is in a locking position, the latching assembly can prevent the functional module from being plugged into and unplugged from the base in the plugging-unplugging direction.

[0006] According to the surge protector provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the functional module can be reliably limited to a fixed position by adopting a manner that the limiting component is matched with the latching assembly, so that the functional module is prevented from being separated from the base in a working process.

[0007] In some embodiments, the limiting component includes a guiding component, and the guiding component guides the functional module to move relative to the latching assembly in the plugging-unplugging direction when the functional module is plugged into and unplugged from the recessed part in the plugging-unplugging direction. In such embodiments, the guiding component can be provided to reliably guide the functional module to be plugged into and unplugged from the recessed part in the plugging-unplugging direction.
