Detailed implementation manners

[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1-6 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a communication conversion controller port conversion system, including a controller main body 1 and a plug-in port 2 provided on the top thereof. The plug-in port 2 includes a fixing component 21 fixedly connected to the top of the controller main body 1 and a conversion component 22 rotatably connected to the top thereof. A data cable 3 is inserted into the side surface of the conversion component 22.

[0031] The fixing component 21 includes a fixing seat 211 fixedly connected through the top of the controller main body 1. A plurality of fixing electrodes 212 are equidistantly arranged on the outer side of the inside of the fixing seat 211. A convex edge is provided on the edge of the top of the fixing seat 211.

[0032] The conversion component 22 includes a turntable 222 rotatably connected to the top of the fixed component 21 through a rotating shaft 221. A petal-shaped sliding groove 223 is formed inside the turntable 222. The bottom of the turntable 222 is inserted inside the upper convex edge, and a dust-proof notch 2213 adapted to the upper convex edge is formed at the bottom of the side of the fixed seat 211. A petal-shaped sliding plate 224 is slidably connected inside the petal-shaped sliding groove 223, and a plurality of movable electrodes 225 corresponding to the positions of the fixed electrodes 212 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the petal-shaped sliding plate 224. A prism seat 226 is fixedly connected to the top of the petal-shaped sliding plate 224, and a plug-in terminal 227 is fixedly embedded on each surface of the side of the prism seat 226. Electrodes that do not conduct with each other are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the plug-in terminal 227, and the two electrodes are respectively connected to the inner and outer ring electrodes of the movable electrode 225. A dust-proof cover 2214 is fixedly connected to the side of the prism seat 226 and above the plug-in terminal 227, and the lower half of the dust-proof cover 2214 can be snap-fitted outside the plug-in terminal 227.

[0033] By providing multiple sets of matchable electrodes between the fixed component 21 and the conversion component 22, and the conversion component 22 can rotate relative to the fixed component 21. After one set of plug-in terminals 227 is plugged with the data cable 3, only one set of electrodes will be connected. By simply rotating the conversion component 22, the movable electrode 225 connected to the data cable 3 can be conducted with different fixed electrodes 212 on the fixed component 21, realizing the switching of ports, enabling the data cable 3 to be output to different lines without plugging and unplugging, effectively avoiding the problem of port damage caused by frequent plugging and unplugging, effectively extending the service life, and multiple data cables 3 can be connected, with strong versatility and convenient use.

[0034] The fixed electrode 212 includes a fixed cylinder 2121 fixedly connected inside the fixed seat 211. A lifting electrode column 2122 is slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder 2121. The top of the lifting electrode column 2122 and the movable electrode 225 are both provided with two rings of electrode rings from the inside to the outside. A ring groove 2123 is formed on the side of the lifting electrode column 2122. A limiting ring 2124 is fixedly connected inside the fixed cylinder 2121 and on the inner side of the ring groove 2123. A first spring 2125 is provided inside the fixed cylinder 2121 and at the bottom of the lifting electrode column 2122.

[0035] The first spring 2125 can make the lifting electrode column 2122 elastically lift and lower. In its normal state, it extends outside the fixed cylinder 2121. Cooperating with the petal-shaped sliding groove 223 of the conversion component 22, it can limit the angle of the conversion component 22, avoiding random rotation and causing connection errors. When rotating, just press down the prism seat 226 first to press the petal-shaped sliding plate 224 to press the lifting electrode column 2122 into the fixed cylinder 2121, then it can rotate normally, which is convenient to use. And the elastically lifting and lowering lifting electrode column 2122 can also ensure full contact with the movable electrode 225, ensuring the stability of data transmission.

[0036] Inside the prism base 226 and corresponding to the inner side of the insertion terminal 227, a plurality of switching columns 228 are rotatably connected. On the upper and lower sides of one side of the switching column 228, semi-circular arc electrode pieces 229 are fixedly connected. On the upper and lower sides of the surface of the switching column 228, sealing rubber rings 2210 are fixedly sleeved. The sealing rubber rings 2210 can not only improve the sealing performance, but also increase the resistance to prevent the switching column 228 from sliding randomly. A rotating long groove 2211 is opened at the top of the switching column 228, and an indicating notch is opened on one side of the rotating long groove 2211. The indicating notch is used to indicate the angle of the switching column 228 and its corresponding direction of the semi-circular arc electrode piece 229. On the upper and lower sides of one end of the insertion terminal 227 facing the switching column 228, metal elastic pieces 2212 respectively connected to two electrodes are fixedly connected, and the metal elastic pieces 2212 are pressed against the surface of the switching column 228.

[0037] By setting the switching column 228, the on-off of the insertion terminal 227 and the movable electrode 225 can be realized, so that multiple data lines 3 can always be inserted into the prism base 226 without being unplugged. When the data line 3 needs to be used, only the switching column 228 needs to be rotated for connection, which avoids the frequent plugging and unplugging of the data line 3 and also reduces the probability of port damage, further extending the service life.

[0038] The data line 3 includes a plug housing 31 made of rubber, which can be sealed after being inserted into the insertion terminal 227. On the upper and lower sides inside the plug housing 31, sliding plates 32 are slidably connected, and a metal sheet 33 is fixedly connected inside the sliding plate 32. One section of the metal sheet 33 penetrates through the plug housing 31 and extends to the outside of the plug housing 31. The section of the metal sheet 33 located outside the plug housing 31 is bent into a triangle and fixedly connected to the outside of the plug housing 31. On the opposite sides of one end of the two sliding plates 32, buttons 34 are fixedly connected. The buttons 34 slide through to the outside of the plug housing 31. On the upper and lower sides of the plug housing 31, waterproof and dustproof membranes 35 covering the buttons 34 are fixedly connected. The waterproof and dustproof membranes 35 can prevent water or dust from entering through the gaps of the buttons 34. A second spring 36 is pressed between one ends of the two sliding plates 32. One end of the plug housing 31 away from the metal sheet 33 is fixedly connected with a wire 37. Two transmission lines are arranged inside the wire 37, and the two transmission lines are respectively welded to the two metal sheets 33. Currently, 485 communication in the industry is carried out in a two-wire system of A and B, and the connector used is a small terminal connector, which is prone to deformation in the application scenario of frequent plugging and unplugging in the battery swapping cabinet business. This patent design has completed a controller that changes the A and B double wires into a single wire and can be realized by using a large terminal for connection, which will greatly improve the stability of the 485 communication system with a large number of plugging and unplugging times.

[0039] By setting the metal sheet 33 on the data line 3 for direct electrical connection with the plug-in terminal 227 into a triangle, the data line 3 can be hooked by the triangular structure after being inserted, which can prevent the data line 3 from loosening easily and make the connection more stable. When plugging and unplugging, only need to press the button 34, which is convenient to use.

[0040] Meanwhile, the content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.

[0041] When in use, first pinch the upper and lower buttons 34 of the data line 3 to make the two sliding plates 32 close to each other, and then the triangular parts of the two metal sheets 33 deflect and fit to the surface of the plug housing 31. Then lift the dust cover 2214 outside the plug-in terminal 227, and then insert the plug part of the data line 3 into the plug-in terminal 227. For the data line 3 that needs to be connected, rotate the switching column 228 corresponding to the insertion position to make the indicating notch on the rotating long groove 2211 face the side of the data line 3, so that the upper semi-circular arc electrode piece 229 contacts the metal elastic piece 2212, and then the data line 3 can be connected to the fixed electrode 212 through the plug-in terminal 227, the metal elastic piece 2212, the semi-circular arc electrode piece 229 and the movable electrode 225 to complete the data transmission.

[0042] When it is necessary to directly switch a data line 3 to another output loop, first press down the prism seat 226 to make the petal-shaped sliding plate 224 press the lifting electrode column 2122 into the fixed cylinder 2121. At this time, the lifting electrode column 2122 is separated from the petal-shaped sliding groove 223, and then the entire conversion assembly 22 can be rotated to make the movable electrode 225 connected to the data line 3 conduct with different fixed electrodes 212 on the fixed assembly 21, realizing the switching of the port.

[0043] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.
