Description

This disclosure generally relates to power supply poles. More specifically, this disclosure relates to power supply poles configured to allow the installation of a power supply unit. Patent Document 1 discloses a power supply pole comprising a hollow cylindrical pole body and a device mounting body. The pole body has an opening at one end and through-holes in its side walls. The device mounting body is attached to the pole body, and wiring devices are mounted on the side of the pole body. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2012-244727 Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating that in the power supply pole according to this embodiment, a first switching plate and a second switching plate are interchangeably mounted as switching plates in the opening.Figure 2 is a front view of the main components of the same power supply pole, in which a first switching plate is attached to the opening and a first power supply unit is installed on the first switching plate.Figure 3 is a front view of the main components of the same power supply pole, where a second switching plate is attached to the opening and a second power supply unit is installed on the second switching plate.Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the main part of the same power supply pole, in which a first switching plate is attached to the opening and a first power supply unit is installed on the first switching plate.Figure 5 is a front view of the main part of the same power supply pole when the first and second switching plates are not installed in the opening.Figure 6 is a perspective view of the main body of the same power supply pole, with the top plate omitted, in the case where the first switching plate is attached to the opening.Figure 7 is a perspective view of the main body of the power supply pole of the first modified example, in which the top plate of the main body is omitted, with the first switching plate attached to the opening.Figure 8 is a perspective view of the main body of the power supply pole of the second modified example, in which the top plate of the main body is omitted, with the first switching plate attached to the opening.Figure 9 is a perspective view of the main body of the power supply pole of the third modified example, in which the top plate of the main body is omitted, with the first switching plate attached to the opening.Figure 10 is a front view of the main components of another modified power supply pole, in which a third switching plate is attached to the opening and a third power supply unit is installed on the third switching plate.
