Description

Adaptor connector

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to power transmission devices, and more particularly, to a connector.

Background

With the progress and development of technology, the working efficiency of the power supply device is gradually improved, so that the power provided by the power supply device is increased. Currently, in communication network devices and server devices, as the power demand of power supplies is increasing, a high-power supply device is required to provide power for the client devices. However, the specification of the power socket used by the power supply device needs to match the power of the power supply device, so that the power supply device with high power must use a socket capable of carrying higher rated current, such as the C20 socket specified by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC 60320) standard. In addition, the client device needs to use a power line with a plug of C19 to electrically connect the client device and the power supply device through the matching assembly between the plug of C19 and the socket of C20, so as to realize power transmission and power supply.

However, in practice, the client device portion will use a device with lower power requirements, which typically uses a power cord with a plug of C13. Since the rated current carried by the C13 plug is low, and the profile thereof can only be interfitted with the C14 socket, but cannot be interfitted with the C20 socket of the high-power supply device, if the plug needs to be matched with the C20 socket of the high-power supply device, the client device must be changed or replaced, or the power supply device must be replaced, which causes limitation and inconvenience in application.

Therefore, there is a need to develop a adaptor connector to solve the problems faced by the prior art.

Disclosure of Invention

The present invention provides a adaptor connector, which can provide a power adaptor function of, for example, a dual C14 socket to a single C19 plug, and can avoid the wire damage caused by single-side power supply and the occurrence of electrical error contact, and achieve the effect of adapting a power line with a lower rated current to a high-power supply device, so as to implement power transmission.

To achieve the above objective, a broader aspect of the present invention is to provide a switch connector, which includes a body, a plug, a first socket, a second socket, a first conductive assembly and a second conductive assembly. The body is provided with a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is opposite to the second end. The plug is arranged at the first end of the body and comprises a first live wire terminal and a first neutral wire terminal. The first socket is arranged at the second end of the body and comprises a second live wire terminal and a second neutral wire terminal. The first socket is configured on a first power line plug which can be accommodated in a pluggable manner and is electrically connected with the first power line. The second socket is arranged at the second end of the body and comprises a third live wire terminal and a third neutral wire terminal. The second socket is configured on a second power line plug which can be accommodated in a pluggable manner and is electrically connected with the second power line. The first lead-connection component comprises a first lead-connection end, a second lead-connection end and a third lead-connection end, wherein the second lead-connection end is connected to the first live wire terminal, the first lead-connection end is connected to the second live wire terminal, and the third lead-connection end is connected to the third live wire terminal.

In the present embodiment, the first guiding assembly 5 includes a first movable guiding element 51, a first guiding element 52 and a second guiding element 53. The first moving guide 51 includes a first segment 511, a second segment 512 and a connecting segment 513, wherein the connecting segment 513 connects the first segment 511 and the second segment 512.

Please refer to fig. 4 to 6, 8, 11 and 12. Fig. 11 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the adaptor connector shown in fig. 1, and fig. 12 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the adaptor connector shown in fig. 1 assembled to a second power line plug and a socket of a power supply device. In the present embodiment, the second guiding assembly 6 includes a second movable guiding element 61, a third guiding element 62 and a fourth guiding element 63. The second moving guide 61 includes a first segment 611, a second segment 612 and a connecting segment 613, wherein the connecting segment 613 connects the first segment 611 and the second segment 612. The first segment 611 includes a top portion 611b and a first contact portion 611a, the first segment 611 is disposed on the surface of the second sidewall 45 of the second socket 4, the top portion 611b is accommodated in the second through groove 45a, the top portion 611b is partially exposed in the second recess 44, and the first contact portion 611a is located at an end of the first segment 611. In one embodiment, the abutting portion 611b is an elastic concave portion. In this embodiment, the fourth conductive end 612b of the second conductive element 6 is an end of the second section 612, wherein the fourth conductive end 612b of the second section 612 is in contact with a portion of the third neutral terminal 42 of the second socket 4 exposed outside the second bottom wall 46, and the other end of the second section 612 opposite to the fourth conductive end 612b has a second contact portion 612 a. In this embodiment, the fifth connecting end 621 of the second connecting element 6 is an end of the third connecting element 62, wherein the fifth connecting end 621 of the third connecting element 62 is connected and fixed to the first neutral terminal 22 of the plug 2. The contact end 622 of the third guide 62 is a free end and is adjacent to the second contact portion 612a of the second section 612 of the second moving guide 61, wherein the third guide 62 is a multi-section bent guide. In the present embodiment, the sixth connection end 631 of the second connection assembly 6 is an end of the fourth connection element 63, wherein the sixth connection end 631 of the fourth connection element 63 is connected and fixed to the second neutral terminal 32 of the first socket 3. The contact end 632 of the fourth conductive member 63 is a free end and is adjacent to the first contact portion 611a of the first section 611 of the second movable conductive member 61, and the fourth conductive member 63 is a multi-section bent conductive member. The contact end 622 of the third guide 62 and the second contact portion 612a of the second section 612 of the second moving guide 61 are separated from each other, and the contact end 632 of the fourth guide 63 and the first contact portion 611a of the first section 611 of the second moving guide 61 are separated from each other. As shown in fig. 12, when the second power cord plug 90 is inserted into the second socket 4, the second power cord plug 90 abuts against the abutting portion 611b of the first section 611 of the second moving guide 61 of the second guide assembly 6, so that the abutting portion 611b is deformed by a force to drive the first section 611 to move toward the plug 2, and at this time, the first contact portion 611a of the first section 611 contacts with the contact end 632 of the fourth guide 63 to connect. In addition, the first segment 611 moves the second segment 612 toward the plug 2 through the connecting segment 613, at this time, the fourth contact end 612b of the second segment 612 moves correspondingly and is constantly in contact with the portion of the third neutral terminal 42 of the second socket 4 exposed out of the second bottom wall 46, and the second contact portion 612a of the second segment 612 is in contact with the contact end 622 of the third guide 62 for connection. Thus, when the second power cord plug 90 is not interfitted with the second receptacle 4, the second docking assembly 6 disconnects the first neutral terminal 22 of the plug 2, the second neutral terminal 32 of the first receptacle 3 and the third neutral terminal 42 of the second receptacle 4. When the second power cord plug 90 is mated with the second receptacle 4, the conductive connection between the second moving guide 61, the third guide 62 and the fourth guide 63 of the second conductive assembly 6 connects the first neutral terminal 22 of the plug 2, the second neutral terminal 32 of the first receptacle 3 and the third neutral terminal 42 of the second receptacle 4 to each other.

When the first power cord plug 80 is inserted into the first outlet 3, the second power cord plug 90 is not inserted into the second outlet 4, only the conduction between the first moving guide 51, the first guide 52 and the second guide 53 of the first conduction assembly 5 connects the first hot terminal 21 of the header 2, the second hot terminal 31 of the first socket 3 and the third hot terminal 41 of the second socket 4 to each other, the second moving guide 61, the third guide 62 and the fourth guide 63 of the second guide assembly 6 are separated from each other, so that the first neutral terminal 22 of the plug 2, the second neutral terminal 32 of the first socket 3 and the third neutral terminal 42 of the second socket 4 are not connected to each other to be in a disconnected state, and therefore the socket 70 of the power supply device 7 does not transmit power to the first socket 3 and the second socket 4 through the plug 2 of the adaptor connector 100. Therefore, under the condition that only the first power line plug 80 and the first socket 3 are connected in a single-side mutual matching manner, the power supply device 7 does not supply power, so that the user is prevented from being touched by mistake when connecting the second socket 4 and the second power line plug 90, and the risk of wire damage caused by overlarge current of single-side power supply can be avoided.

Similarly, when the second power cord plug 90 is inserted into the second outlet 4, and the first power cord plug 80 is not inserted into the first outlet 3, only the conduction between the second moving guide 61, the third guide 62 and the fourth guide 63 of the second conduction assembly 6 connects the first neutral terminal 22 of the plug 2, the second neutral terminal 32 of the first socket 3 and the third neutral terminal 42 of the second socket 4 to each other, the first movable guiding element 51, the first guiding element 52 and the second guiding element 53 of the first guiding assembly 5 are separated from each other, so that the first live wire terminal 21 of the plug 2, the second live wire terminal 31 of the first socket 3 and the third live wire terminal 41 of the second socket 4 are not connected to each other to be in a disconnected state, and therefore the socket 70 of the power supply device 7 does not transmit power to the first socket 3 and the second socket 4 through the plug 2 of the adaptor connector 100. Therefore, under the condition that only the second power line plug 90 and the second socket 4 are connected in a single-side mutual matching manner, the power supply device 7 does not supply power, so that the user is prevented from being touched by mistake when connecting the first power line plug 80 and the first socket 3, and the risk of wire damage caused by overlarge current of single-side power supply can be avoided.

In some embodiments, the plurality of client devices applied to the adaptor connector 101 are on the same power system of the power supply device, thereby avoiding the damage caused by the phase difference.

In summary, the adaptor connector of the present disclosure matches the high power supply device to a plurality of power lines capable of carrying a lower rated current, so that the output high current is evenly distributed to the plurality of power lines, and the power line with a lower rated current or the client device supplied by the power line with a lower rated current can be prevented from receiving an excessive current and being damaged. On the other hand, the adapter connector of the scheme has the advantages that through the design and the configuration of the first adapter assembly and the second adapter assembly which can be disconnected, when only one side of a plug of a power line is plugged into a corresponding socket of the adapter connector, power cannot be supplied, and the risk that a single power line is damaged due to the fact that the single power line receives high current can be avoided. In addition, when the plug of the power line is only single-side plugged in the corresponding socket of the adapter connector, power cannot be supplied, and the risk of electric error touch during operation of a user can be avoided. Moreover, the adaptor connector of the present disclosure can provide a power adaptor function of converting a dual C14 socket to a single C19 plug, so that the client device can be applied to a power supply device with a C20 socket by using a power line with a C13 plug, thereby improving convenience of application.
