DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0025] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in any method or process disclosed, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any manner.
[0026] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any additional claims, abstract, and drawings), unless specifically stated, can be replaced by other equivalent or features with a similar purpose. That is, unless specifically stated, each feature is only an example of a series of equivalent or similar features.
[0027] The power exchange connector of this embodiment, in which the wiring frame can float in three directions of X, Y, and Z under the action of external force.
[0028] As Figure 1 shown, it includes a frame plate 1. Support columns are provided at the four corners of the frame plate 1. Springs 2 are sleeved on each support column. A floating frame is arranged above the springs 2. The bottom plate 3 passes through the floating frame, so that the floating frame can compress the springs 2, and thus the floating frame can displace along the axial direction of the support column.
[0029] As Figure 2 shown, the floating frame includes a bottom plate 3 and a top plate 4. A fixed spatial structure is formed by connecting the bottom plate 3 and the top plate 4 through a sleeve 7. The sleeve 7 is used to set the support shaft, so that the support shaft can sequentially pass through the bottom plate 3, the sleeve 7, and the top plate 4.
[0030] Frame holes 6 are respectively arranged on the bottom plate 3 and the top plate 4. The frame holes 6 on the bottom plate 3 and the top plate 4 have the same size and are used to pass the wiring frame 5. A convex edge 5-1 is arranged on the outer side of the wiring frame 5. The size of the convex edge 5-1 is larger than that of the frame hole 6. During assembly, one end of the wiring frame 5 passes through the frame hole 6 of the top plate 4, and the convex edge 5-1 is limitedly arranged between the bottom plate 3 and the top plate 4. In this process, the wiring frame 5 is not physically connected to the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 4, so that the wiring frame 5 can move in the XY direction along the horizontal plane in the frame hole 6 and can also move in the Z direction perpendicular to the XY direction.
[0031] In order to ensure that the wiring frame 5 can be reset after moving, a limiting shaft 9 connected to the bottom plate 3 is arranged on the top plate 4. At the same time, a positioning shaft 5-2 is arranged on the convex edge 5-1. Both ends of a tension spring 8 are connected to the positioning shaft 5-2 and the limiting shaft 9. The tension spring 8 contacts the wiring frame 5, and the wiring frame 5 is reset by the elastic force of the tension spring 8.
[0032] In order to ensure the accuracy of the reset function, a tension spring 8 is respectively arranged at the corresponding positions of the four corners of the wiring frame 5. At the same time, the four corners of the wiring frame 5 are set as arc structures to increase the contact area. The wiring frame 5 is elastically limited by the four tension springs 8 to ensure that it can be reset after floating.
[0033] In order to further limit the wiring frame, guide columns 5-3 are arranged outside the symmetric sides of the wiring frame 5. Grooves are arranged in the frame holes 6 of the bottom plate 3 and the top plate 4 corresponding to the guide columns 5-3, so that the guide columns 5-3 can be limited to move within the range of the grooves.
[0034] As Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, multiple keyholes 5-4 are provided inside the wiring frame 5, and different wiring interfaces can be installed using the keyholes. For example, the power meter module 10-1, the signal module 10-2, the grounding module, and the fluid module in the figure can assemble different wiring interfaces according to different requirements.
[0035] Of course, the wiring interface is not limited to a specific module and can be increased according to actual needs.
[0036] The present utility model is not limited to the foregoing specific embodiments. The present utility model extends to any new feature or any new combination disclosed in this specification, as well as any new method or process step or any new combination disclosed.
