Detailed Description
So that the manner in which the features and elements of the disclosed embodiments can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the disclosed embodiments, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to the embodiments, some of which are illustrated in the appended drawings. In the following description of the technology, for purposes of explanation, numerous details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, one or more embodiments may be practiced without these details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices may be shown in simplified form in order to simplify the drawing.
The disclosed embodiment provides a female plug.
The female connector can be applied to a socket, for example, the female connector is arranged in a jack of the socket for connecting with a plug; the female plug-in connector can also be applied to a disconnecting link, for example, the female plug-in connector is used as a static contact in the disconnecting link and is used for being connected with a moving contact in the disconnecting link; the female connector can also be used as a wiring terminal for connecting with other cables or wiring terminals.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the female plug includes:
a fixed contact piece 110 configured to be nestably connected to the mating part 210 of the male connector;
a compensating contact strip 120, the first end 121 of which is connected to the fixed contact strip 110 and the second end 123 of which is arranged to be connectable to the non-plug-in part 220 of the male connector.
The fixed contact piece 110 and the compensation contact piece 120 are conductors; the plug portion 210 of the male connector may be prism-shaped or cylindrical, the plug portion 210 of the male connector is a conductor, and the non-plug portion 220 of the male connector, which is connected to the compensation contact piece 120, is a conductor. For example, in the case of a female connector applied to a socket, the female connector is disposed in a receptacle of the socket, and the male connector is a bar-shaped or plate-shaped protrusion on a plug, and includes a fixing portion 230 fixedly connected with a socket base 250, an insertion portion 210 for nesting connection with the socket, and a supporting portion 240 between the fixing portion 230 and the insertion portion 210; the non-insertion portion 220 of the male connector may be the entire support portion 240 or a part of the support portion 240, for example, the insertion portion 210 is a portion of the support portion 240 close to the insertion portion 210.
The first end 121 of the compensation contact piece is connected with the fixed contact piece 110, the second end 123 of the compensation contact piece is connected with the non-plugging part 220 of the male plugging piece, the compensation contact piece 120 forms a conductive path between the fixed contact piece 110 and the male plugging piece, and under the condition that the shape of the plugging part 210 of the male plugging piece is not matched with the shape of the plugging part 210 of the female plugging piece, the compensation contact piece 120 can still compensate and electrify for the male plugging piece to reduce the contact resistance between the male plugging piece and the female plugging piece, so that the application range of the socket is enlarged.
The position of the second end 123 of the compensation contact piece depends on the matching manner between the female connector and the male connector, for example, in the case of the female connector applied to a socket, the fixed contact piece 110 of the female connector forms a slot or a cavity, when the fixed contact piece 110 and the inserting part 210 of the male connector are nested together, the non-inserting part 220 of the male connector is located at the entrance of the slot or the cavity, and the second end 123 of the compensation contact piece is arranged at the entrance of the slot or the cavity formed by the fixed contact piece 110; in the case of the wood plug and knife switch, the fixed contact piece 110 of the female plug is a groove-shaped clamping structure capable of clamping the connecting rod, and in the case of the groove-shaped clamping structure nested with the connecting rod, the non-plug portion 220 of the connecting rod is located at the side end of the groove of the clamping structure, and the second end 123 of the compensation contact piece is located at the side end of the groove formed by the fixed contact piece 110.
In some embodiments, the first end 121 of the compensation contact strip is fixedly connected to the fixed contact strip 110.
In some embodiments, the first end 121 of the compensation contact pad is disconnectably connected to the fixed contact pad 110. In the process of applying the female connector, the fixed contact piece 110 is in a charged state, and the compensation contact piece 120 is disconnectably connected with the fixed contact piece 110, so that the compensation contact piece 120 is not always in the charged state, that is, the number of charged conductors in a device (such as a socket) including the female connector is reduced, and the power utilization safety is improved.
In some embodiments, a first compensation contact block 122 is disposed on the first end 121 of the compensation contact strip, the first compensation contact block 122 being configured to connect with the fixed contact strip 110. The first end 121 of the compensating contact strip is connected to the fixed contact strip 110 via the first compensating contact block 122, increasing the conductive effect between the compensating contact strip 120 and the fixed contact strip 110.
In some embodiments, the number of fixed contact blades 110 is one or more than one. The number of fixed contacts 110 in the female connector is related to the practical application of the female connector: in the case of making one-phase conductive path through the female connector, the number of the fixed contact pieces 110 is 1; in the case of a two-phase conductive path, such as a two-phase socket, being connected through a female connector, the number of fixed contact blades 110 is 2; in the case of a three-phase conductive path being completed by a female connector, such as a three-phase receptacle, the number of stationary contact blades 110 is 3, and so on. Alternatively, the number of the fixed contact pieces 110 and the number of the compensation contact pieces 120 are in a one-to-one correspondence relationship, and in the case where the number of the fixed contact pieces 110 is one or more, the number of the compensation contact pieces 120 is one or more; alternatively, one fixed contact piece 110 corresponds to two or more compensating contact pieces 120, and in the case where the number of the fixed contact pieces 110 is one or more, the number of the compensating contact pieces 120 is two or more.
In some embodiments, the number of the first compensation contact blocks 122 is one or more. Optionally, a first compensation contact block 122 is disposed on the first end 121 of one compensation contact strip, and in the case that the number of the compensation contact strips 120 is one or more, the number of the first contact blocks is one or more; alternatively, two or more first compensation contact blocks 122 are disposed on the first end 121 of one compensation contact strip, and in the case that the number of the compensation contact strips 120 is one or more, and the number of the first compensation contact blocks 122 is two or more, one compensation contact strip 120 is connected to the fixed contact strip 110 through two or more first compensation contact blocks 122, so that the conductive effect between the compensation contact strip 120 and the fixed contact strip 110 is further increased.
In some embodiments, the second end 123 of the compensating contact strip is provided with a second compensating contact block 124, the second compensating contact block 124 being arranged to be connectable with the non-plug part 220 of the male plug-in connector. The second end 123 of the compensating contact strip is connected to the non-mating portion 220 of the male connector by the second compensating contact block 124, which increases the electrical conductivity between the compensating contact strip 120 and the tolerance joint.
In some embodiments, the number of second compensation contact blocks 124 is one or more. Optionally, a second compensating contact block 124 is disposed on the second end 123 of one compensating contact strip, and in the case that the number of compensating contact strips 120 is one or more, the number of second contact blocks is one or more; optionally, two or more second compensation contact blocks 124 are disposed on the second end 123 of one compensation contact strip, and when the number of the compensation contact strips 120 is one or more, and the number of the second compensation contact blocks 124 is two or more, one compensation contact block is connected to the male connector through two or more second compensation contact blocks 124, so as to further increase the conductive effect between the compensation contact strip 120 and the male connector.
In some embodiments, the female connector further comprises a pressing structure 130, the pressing structure 130 comprises a fixed end 132 and a movable end 131, the fixed end 132 of the pressing structure 130 is fixedly disposed relative to the fixed contact piece 110, for example, in the case of the female connector applied to a socket, the fixed end 132 of the pressing structure 130 can be fixedly disposed on the housing of the socket; in the case of a female connector for a disconnecting link, the fixed end 132 of the hold-down structure 130 may be fixedly disposed on the insulating base 250 of the disconnecting link.
The movable end 131 of the hold-down structure 130 is arranged to apply a force directed towards the non-mating part 220 of the male connector to the second end 123 of the compensating contact strip.

By the squeezing action of the pressing structure 130, the gap between the second end 123 of the compensation contact piece and the non-plugging part 220 can be reduced, the conductive effect between the second end 123 of the compensation contact piece and the non-plugging part 220 can be increased, and the compensation electrifying effect of the female plugging piece can be increased.
In the pressing structure 130, the movable end 131 is driven to move relative to the fixed end 132. Optionally, the driving manner includes a passive driving manner and an active driving manner. The passive driving mode comprises any one or more than one of the following modes: the force generated by the thermal deformation material due to thermal/cold expansion is used for driving, and the force generated by the material volume change due to material phase change is used for driving; the active driving method includes any one or more than one of the following methods: the rotary motion of the motor is converted into rotary motion through the transmission mechanism, so that the extrusion effect on the compensation contact piece 120 is realized, the extrusion effect on the compensation contact piece 120 is realized by utilizing a pneumatic element, and the extrusion effect on the compensation contact piece 120 is realized by utilizing a hydraulic element. Wherein, the transmission mechanism comprises any one or more than one of the following components: the device comprises a belt transmission mechanism, a chain wheel transmission mechanism, a gear rack transmission mechanism, a worm and gear transmission mechanism, a lead screw transmission mechanism, a crank transmission mechanism and a cam transmission mechanism. Under the condition that the driving mode of the movable end 131 of the compression structure 130 is passive driving, the thermal deformation material has both a temperature sensing function and an execution function, and when the thermal deformation material is heated/cooled, the heated material drags the movable end 131 of the compression structure 130 to move; when the movable end 131 of the compressing structure 130 is driven actively, the compressing structure 130 further includes a port capable of receiving a control signal, and after the compressing structure 130 receives the control signal, the movable end 131 moves relative to the fixed end 132 under the driving action; optionally, in a case where the movable end 131 of the compacting structure 130 is actively driven, the sensor may sense an ambient temperature, or sense a presence of the male connector, or sense a power supply condition of the female connector for the male connector, and send a control signal to a port of the compacting structure 130 that can receive the control information, when an output signal of the sensor meets a preset condition. The preset condition depends on the function of the sensor, for example, in the case that the sensor senses the ambient temperature, the preset condition is that the ambient temperature is too high; when the sensor senses the existence condition of the male plug-in connector, the preset condition is that the male plug-in connector exists; when the sensor senses the condition that the female connector supplies power to the male connector, the preset condition is that the female connector supplies power to the male connector, or the preset condition is that the female connector supplies power to the male connector in a high-power mode.
In some embodiments, the movable end 131 of the hold-down structure 130 applies a force directed toward the non-mating portion 220 of the male connector to the second end 123 of the one or more compensating contact blades. Optionally, the movable end 131 of one pressing structure 130 applies a force to the second end 123 of one compensation contact piece, which is directed to the non-plug-in part 220 of the male plug-in connector, and in the case that the number of the second ends 123 of the compensation contact pieces is one or more, the number of the pressing structures 130 is one or more; alternatively, the movable end 131 of one pressing structure 130 applies a force directed to the non-plugging portion 220 of the male plug to the second ends 123 of two or more compensation contact pieces, and in the case where the number of the second ends 123 of the compensation contact pieces is two or more, the number of the pressing structures 130 is one or more.
In some embodiments, the movable end 131 of the press structure 130 is further arranged to apply a force directed towards the fixed contact strip 110 to the first end 121 of the compensating contact strip, in case the first end 121 of the compensating contact strip is disconnectably connected with the fixed contact strip 110. The movable end 131 of the pressing structure 130 can drag the first end 121 of the compensation contact strip to move, or the movable end 131 of the pressing structure 130 cannot drag the first end 121 of the compensation contact strip to move.
By the pressing action of the pressing structure 130, the gap between the first end 121 of the compensation contact piece and the fixed contact piece 110 can be reduced, the conductive effect between the first end 121 of the compensation contact piece and the fixed contact piece 110 is increased, and the compensation electrifying effect of the female plug-in unit is increased.
In some embodiments, the movable end 131 of the hold-down structure 130 applies a force directed toward the fixed contact strip 110 to the first end 121 of the one or more compensating contact strips. Optionally, the movable end 131 of one pressing structure 130 applies a force directed to the first end 121 of one compensation contact piece 110, and in the case that the number of the first ends 121 of the compensation contact pieces is one or more, the number of the pressing structures 130 is one or more; alternatively, the movable end 131 of one pressing structure 130 applies a force directed toward the fixed contact piece 110 to the first ends 121 of two or more compensation contact pieces, and in the case where the number of the first ends 121 of the compensation contact pieces is two or more, the number of the pressing structures 130 is one or more.
For convenience of description, the term "first compression structure 130" is used to denote: a pressing structure 130 that applies a force directed towards the fixed contact strip 110 to the first end 121 of the compensating contact strip; the term "second compression structure 130" is used to denote a compression structure 130 that applies a force directed towards the non-mating part 220 of the male connector to the second end 123 of the compensating contact strip. Optionally, the first pressing structure 130 and the second pressing structure 130 are the same pressing structure 130, that is, the movable end 131 of the pressing structure 130 simultaneously applies a force directed to the non-plugging portion 220 of the male connector to the second end 123 of the compensation contact piece, and applies a force directed to the fixed contact piece 110 to the first end 121 of the compensation contact piece, for example, the compensation contact piece 120 is a rigid compensation contact piece 120, the force applied by the movable end 131 of the pressing structure 130 acts on the middle portion of the rigid compensation contact piece 120, and the connection/disconnection between the first end 121 of the rigid compensation contact piece and the fixed contact piece 110 is realized under the driving of the movable end 131 of the pressing structure 130, and the second end 123 of the rigid compensation contact piece is connected/disconnected with the non-plugging portion 220 of the male connector; alternatively, the first and second hold-down structures 130, 130 are two separate hold-down structures 130, one for applying a force to the first end 121 of the compensating contact strip directed toward the fixed contact strip 110 and one for applying a force to the second end 123 of the compensating contact strip directed toward the non-mating part 220 of the male connector.
In the case where the first and second pressing structures 130 and 130 are two independent pressing structures 130, the compensation contact piece 120 includes a flexible compensation contact piece 120 made of a flexible material, and the first end 121 and the second end 123 thereof can be arbitrarily moved; the compensating contact piece 120 is an elastic compensating contact piece 120 made of elastic material, the first end 121 and the second end 123 of the compensating contact piece move in the stress direction, and after the stress is removed, the first end 121 and the second end 123 recover to the relative positions before the stress.
In the case that the compensation contact piece 120 is a flexible compensation contact piece 120, the first end 121 of the flexible compensation contact piece is dragged by the movable end 131 of the first pressing structure 130 to move, so as to be disconnectably connected with the fixed contact piece 110; the second end 123 of the flexible compensation contact piece is dragged by the movable end 131 of the second pressing structure 130 to move, so that the flexible compensation contact piece is disconnectably connected with the plug part 210 of the male connector.
Under the condition that the compensation contact piece 120 is an elastic compensation contact piece 120, the first end 121 of the elastic compensation contact piece is deformed to different degrees under the action of the movable end 131 of the first pressing structure 130, so as to realize the disconnectable connection with the first end of the fixed contact piece 110; the second end 123 of the elastic compensation contact piece is deformed to different degrees under the action of the movable end 131 of the second pressing structure 130, so as to be disconnectably connected with the non-insertion portion 220 of the male connector.

and an elastic member 133 disposed between the movable end 131 of the pressing structure 130 and the compensation contact piece 120. Optionally, the elastic member 133 includes any one or more of a spring, rubber, and an air bag.
An elastic component 133 is arranged between the movable end 131 of the pressing structure 130 and the compensation contact piece 120, so that the movable end 131 of the pressing structure 130 is indirectly contacted with the compensation contact piece 120, the elastic component 133 can play a role in buffering, the movable end 131 of the pressing structure 130 cannot impact the compensation contact piece 120, and the risk of damaging the compensation contact piece 120 can be reduced. In the case of the pressing structure 130 exerting a force directed towards the non-plug-in part 220 of the male connector on the second end 123 of the compensation contact, the risk of damaging the non-plug-in part 220 of the male connector is reduced, as well as the adverse effect on the nesting effect between the plug-in part 210 of the male connector and the fixed contact 110 due to the pressing action; in case the hold-down structure 130 applies a force directed towards the fixed contact strip 110 to the first end 121 of the compensation contact strip, the risk of damaging the fixed contact strip 110 is reduced.
