[0025] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs.
[0027] The inventors discovered that when a power adapter provides high voltage, even during the brief insertion and removal process, the voltage difference can excite electrons in the air, forming a conductive path. When a high current passes through a poorly connected or momentarily disconnected connection, it generates sufficient energy to sustain an arc. If the contact between the plug and socket is loose or if there are impurities such as dust or oxides, the resistance increases, making arcing more likely. The high temperature of the arc can quickly erode metal contacts and other materials, impacting nearby electronic components, causing them to malfunction or permanently damage them.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 , Embodiment 1 of the present application proposes an electronic device, comprising: a shell 1, having a accommodating cavity 11; a power management module 2, arranged in the accommodating cavity 11, and having a switch unit 21, for controlling the electrical conduction and shutdown of the power management module 2; an interface 3, one end of which is exposed from the shell 1, and the other end is electrically connected to the power management module 2, for accommodating and connecting a plug 5; a trigger switch assembly 4, which has a trigger part 41, and the trigger part 41 has a first position and a second position; when the trigger part 41 is in the first position, the trigger part 41 contacts the switch unit 21, and the power management module 2 and the interface 3 are in a power-off state; when the trigger part 41 is in the second position, the trigger part 41 is away from the switch unit 21, and the power management module 2 and the interface 3 are in a power-on state; the trigger part 41 can maintain the first position under the action of an external force, and when the external force becomes smaller or disappears, the trigger part 41 rebounds to the second position.
[0030] In one possible case, the electronic device may be an electronic device such as a docking station, an adapter, or a converter. The housing 1 may be a shell of an electronic device that can accommodate, carry, protect, and supply energy. The accommodating cavity 11 is the space inside the housing 1, which is used to provide a storage space for the components of the electronic device. The power management module 2 is responsible for converting the input power into a voltage and current suitable for use by the electronic device, and performing power management. In addition, the power management module 2 may also have overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, short circuit protection, and other energy supplies. The power management module 2 can be integrated on the motherboard of the electronic device. The power management module 2 also includes a switch unit 21 for controlling the on and off of the power supply of the power management module 2, such as Figure 4 As shown, the switch unit 21 can be a mechanically resilient switch, comprising: a support base 211 and a rotating portion 212. The rotating portion 212 is rotatably connected to the support base 211. In its initial state, the rotating portion 212 protrudes from the top of the support base 211. The rotating portion 212 has an abutment surface for abutting the trigger portion 41. In its initial state, when the power management module 2 is energized, the abutment surface forms an angle with the surface at the top of the support base 211. When the trigger portion 41 abuts the abutment surface to a first position, the angle between the abutment surface and the surface at the top of the support base 211 decreases relative to the angle when the switch unit is in its initial position. When the abutment force of the trigger portion 41 against the abutment surface disappears or decreases, the rotating portion 212 can rebound to its initial position, at which point the trigger portion 41 is in its second position. One end of the interface 3 is exposed outside the housing 1, facilitating user insertion of a plug 5 or other connector. The other end of the interface 3 is electrically connected to the power management module 2 for power transmission. Interface 3 can be of various types, such as USB-A (Universal Serial Bus Type A interface 3), USB-C (Universal Serial Bus Type C interface 3), HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface 3), DisplayPort or Ethernet interface 3, etc.
[0031] The trigger switch assembly 4 includes a trigger portion 41. The trigger switch assembly 4 controls the power-on and power-off states between the unit management module and the interface 3 by changing the position of the trigger portion 41. The trigger switch assembly 4 may include an actuator slidably connected to the housing 1. The actuator is provided with a trigger portion 41. The trigger portion 41 can have a first position and a second position as the actuator slides relative to the housing 1. The trigger portion 41 can remain in the first position under the action of an external force. At this time, the trigger portion 41 contacts the switch unit 21, and the power is cut off between the power management module 2 and the interface 3. The external force applied to the trigger portion 41 here can be a force directly or indirectly transmitted to the trigger portion 41 by the actuator. When the trigger portion 41 is subjected to an external force, it can slide relative to the housing 1 and slide to the first position. When the external force disappears or becomes smaller, the trigger portion 41 rebounds from the first position to the second position. The trigger portion 41 can rebound to the second position by the rebound force given by the rotating portion 212, or by the elastic force of an additional elastic member 44 or the magnetic attraction of a magnetic member.
[0032] The electronic device provided by the present application includes a housing 1, a power management module 2, an interface 3, and a trigger switch assembly 4. In order to prevent the interface 3 from being energized when the plug 5 is plugged in or out of the interface 3 and arcing during the plugging and unplugging process, thereby damaging the internal components of the electronic device, the electronic device is provided with a trigger switch assembly 4, which includes a trigger portion 41. When the user plugs in or out the plug 5, by applying a force to the trigger switch assembly 4, the trigger portion 41 can slide relative to the housing 1 under the action of the force, and during the sliding process, it contacts the switch unit 21 of the power management module 2, and the switch unit 21 is triggered until the trigger portion 41 reaches the first position, disconnecting the circuit between the power management module 2 and the interface 3 and entering the power-off state. At this time, since the interface 3 and the power management module 2 are in the power-off state, the generation of arcs can be prevented when the plug 5 is unplugged. When the plug 5 is unplugged, the external force becomes smaller or disappears, and the trigger portion 41 can rebound to the second position, the switch unit 21 is reset, and the circuit between the power management module 2 and the interface 3 is reconnected, restoring the power-on state. The trigger switch assembly 4 in this electronic device mechanically cuts off power when the plug 5 is plugged in or removed, effectively preventing arcing and protecting the electronic device's internal components. After plugging in or removing the plug 5, the trigger portion 41 rebounds to the second position, reconnecting the power management module 2, simplifying user operation.
[0033] In some embodiments, the first surface 12 of the shell 1 is provided with an opening 121; the trigger switch assembly 4 includes: a switch body 42, which is movably connected to the shell 1, the trigger part 41 is provided on the switch body 42, and the switch body 42 is provided with a receiving groove 421; the first operating part 43 is provided on the switch body 42 and is in a revealed state through the opening 121; the elastic member 44 is provided in the receiving groove 421, and one end thereof abuts against the first operating part 43, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the receiving groove 421, and the elastic member 44 retracts and contracts along the first direction A; wherein, the first operating part 43 can slide along the first direction A relative to the opening 121 under the action of an external force, the elastic member 44 is compressed, and the trigger part 41 is in the first position. When the external force gradually decreases or disappears, the elastic member 44 extends, and the trigger part 41 rebounds to the second position.
[0034] In one possible scenario, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the first surface 12 of the housing 1 faces away from the accommodating cavity 11 of the housing 1. The first surface 12 is the outer surface of the electronic device. The switch body 42 is movably connected to the housing 1. The movably connected connection here includes but is not limited to a sliding connection, a rotating connection, and a plug-in connection. The switch body 42 can be slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 near the accommodating cavity 11 through the cooperation of the sliding post 7 and the sliding groove 8. The shape of the switch body 42 can be a cube, a rectangular parallelepiped, or other irregular shapes. The trigger portion 41 is provided on the switch body 42. The trigger portion 41 can be integrated into the switch body 42 or fixed to the switch body 42 by connecting members such as screws and snaps. The switch body 42 is provided with a first operating portion 43. The first operating portion 43 is the portion where the force is applied. The first operating portion 43 can be a slider that is slidably provided on the switch body 42. The first surface 12 is provided with an opening 121. The first operating portion 43 is exposed on the first surface 12 through the opening 121. In addition, in order to prevent the user's hand from slipping when applying force to the first operating portion 43 , a concavo-convex texture is provided on the surface of the first operating portion 43 .
[0035] The switch body 42 is provided with a receiving groove 421. The size of the receiving groove 421 is not specifically defined herein. The receiving groove 421 is located on the side of the housing 1 opposite the first surface 12. An elastic member 44 is disposed within the receiving groove 421. The elastic member 44 is a component, such as a spring or rubber member, that deforms when subjected to an external force and returns to its original shape upon removal of the force. One end of the first operating portion 43 extends into the receiving groove 421. One end of the elastic member 44 abuts the first operating portion 43, while the other end of the elastic member 44 abuts the inner wall of the receiving groove 421. The extension of the receiving groove 421 along the first direction corresponds to the range of elasticity of the elastic member 44. Under the action of an external force, the first operating portion 43 can slide in the first direction A relative to the opening 121. The elastic member 44 compresses in the first direction A, and the trigger portion 41 is connected to or integrated with the first operating portion 43 and moves with it. When the trigger portion 41 moves to the first position, it triggers the switch unit 21, disconnecting the power supply between the power management module 2 and the interface 3. When the user stops applying external force, or the external force decreases, becoming less than the rebound force of elastic member 44, elastic member 44 releases its stored elastic potential energy, pushing first operating portion 43 back to its initial position. Trigger portion 41 rebounds with first operating portion 43 to its second position, away from switch unit 21. The power management module 2 is reconnected to interface 3, restoring power. This mechanical structure, in which external force causes first operating portion 43 to slide and elastic member 44 to reset, not only improves the safety and reliability of the electronic device but also simplifies user operation, providing a superior user experience.
[0036] In some embodiments, it also includes: a plug 5, which includes a plug-in portion 51 that can be plugged into the interface 3, and a limiting groove 52 is provided on the outer surface of the plug-in portion 51; a locking piece 53, which is arranged on the switch body 42, and a limiting portion 531 corresponding to and adapted to the limiting groove 52 is extended from the side close to the interface 3; wherein, when the trigger portion 41 is in the first position, the limiting portion 531 is away from the limiting groove 52, and when the trigger portion 41 is in the second position, the limiting portion 531 is stuck in the limiting groove 52 to lock the plug 5 to the interface 3.
[0037] In one possible scenario, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8As shown, the plug 5 is a device with conductive terminals that is used to be inserted into the interface 3 to establish an electrical connection. The plug 5 here can be a plug 5 with flat pins, a plug 5 with cylindrical pins, a plug 5 with angled pins, etc. The plug 5 includes a plug portion 51, which is an insulating shell for surrounding the conductive terminals of the plug 5. The size of the plug portion 51 can be set according to the size of the conductive terminals. The plug portion 51 is provided with a limiting groove 52. The limiting groove 52 can be set on the side of the plug portion 51 along the first direction A and the limiting groove 52 passes through the plug portion 51 along the thickness direction of the plug 5. When the plug 5 is inserted into the interface 3, the limiting groove 52 is located on the side of the housing 1 opposite the first surface 12 and can be located within the accommodating cavity 11 of the housing 1. The locking member 53 is mounted on the switch body 42, and a limiting portion 531 extends from the side near the interface 3 to match the limiting groove 52 of the plug 5. The stopper 531 fits within the stopper slot 52, moving closer to or further away from the stopper slot 52 as the switch body 42 slides. When the trigger 41 is in the first position, the stopper 531 is away from the stopper slot 52, allowing the plug 5 to be freely inserted and removed from the interface 3. When the trigger 41 is in the second position, the stopper 531 is located within the stopper slot 52, locking the plug 5 in the interface 3. The cooperation between the stopper 531 and the stopper slot 52 prevents users from accidentally touching the plug 5, causing it to detach from the interface 3 and potentially causing an arc and damaging the electronic device.
[0038] In some embodiments, it also includes: a push piece 6, which is arranged on the switch body 42; the plug-in part 51 includes: a base 511; a connecting end 513, which is arranged on the base 511; a guide part 512, which is arranged on the base 511 and is located on the side wall of the connecting end 513, and the guide part 512 and the connecting end 513 have the same extension direction, and the guide part 512 is provided with an inclined guide surface 5121 on the side facing the push piece 6; when the trigger part 41 switches between the first position and the second position, it can drive the push piece 6 to slide and abut against the guide surface 5121 to push the plug-in part 51 out of the interface 3.
[0039] In one possible scenario, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8As shown, the switch body 42 is provided with a stopper 6. The stopper 6 can be integrated with the switch body 42 and slide as the switch body 42 slides in the first direction A. The stopper 6 can have any shape. The connection end 513 here represents the conductive terminal of the plug 5. The type of conductive terminal is not specifically limited here; for example, it can be flat or cylindrical. The base 511 here is part of the insulating housing that surrounds the conductive terminal of the plug 5. The connection end 513 protrudes from one end of the base 511. The guide portion 512 can be integrated with the base 511, and the guide portion 512 extends in the same direction as the connection end 513. The guide portion 512 has an inclined guide surface 5121 on the side facing the stopper 6. The guide surface 5121 is configured to slide in contact with the stopper 6. The degree of inclination of the guide surface 5121 can be adjusted according to actual needs. By providing the guide surface 5121 and the abutting member 6 , when the first operating portion 43 is moved to slide the switch body 42 in the first direction A, the abutting member 6 can slide and abut against the guide surface 5121 on the plug 5 , applying a thrust to the plug 5 and slowly disengaging it from the interface 3 . This arrangement allows the user to not only power off the power management module 2 but also automatically eject the plug 5 and disengage it from the interface 3 when the first operating portion 43 is moved, thus saving operational steps.
[0040] Furthermore, to more effectively prevent arcing, the included angle between the guide surface 5121 and the inner wall of the housing 1 where the interface 3 is located can be an acute angle, such as 60°, 30°, or 20°. A shallow, flat guide surface 5121 allows the plug 5 to maintain contact for a longer period before fully disengaging, facilitating a gradual, rather than abrupt, current disconnection. This gradual current disconnection can reduce arcing caused by transient high voltages. The angle between the guide surface 5121 and the inner wall of the housing 1 where the interface 3 is located can be selected based on product design; the above angles are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be limiting.
[0041] In some embodiments, there are two guide portions 512 , which are oppositely disposed on both sides of the connecting end portion 513 along the thickness direction thereof, and the guide surfaces 5121 of the two guide portions 512 are symmetrical in structure.
[0042] In one possible scenario, Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, to ensure that the plug 5 can be inserted smoothly and securely without having to distinguish between front and back, two symmetrical guides 512 are designed. These guides 512 are located on either side of the connecting end 513 along its thickness. The guides 512 are located at the front of the plug 5, near the pins. The guide surfaces 5121 of the two guides 512 are completely symmetrical, ensuring that the plug 5 can engage with the abutment 6 regardless of which side is facing upward.
[0043] In some embodiments, the distance between the trigger portion 41 and the switch unit 21 is smaller than the distance between the abutting member 6 and the guide surface 5121 .
[0044] In one possible scenario, to prevent arcing by first disconnecting the power cord and then ejecting the plug 5, the distance between the trigger portion 41 and the switch unit 21 is smaller than the distance between the abutting member 6 and the guide surface 5121. When the first operating portion 43 is moved, the trigger portion 41 first contacts the switch unit 21, disconnecting the power cord. Only then does the abutting member 6 contact the guide surface 5121, further guiding the plug 5 to be ejected.
[0045] In some embodiments, the extension length of the connecting end portion 513 is smaller than the travel of the abutting member 6 and the guide surface 5121 in sliding contact.
[0046] In one possible case, in order to ensure that the connection end 513 of the plug 5 can be completely separated from the interface 3 after the push member 6 slides into contact with the guide surface 5121, it can be ensured that the connection end 513 of the plug 5 has been completely separated from the interface 3 before the push member 6 is fully in contact with the guide surface 5121 and completes its stroke.
[0047] In some embodiments, the connection end 513 is provided with a spring-loaded contact for elastic connection with the interface 3 .
[0048] In one possible case, in order to further prevent the generation of arcs and improve the reliability of the electrical connection, a spring-loaded contact can be provided at the connection end 513 of the plug 5. This design can ensure that the contact pressure between the pins and the contacts in the socket is maintained well, and gradually separates during the removal process, thereby reducing the possibility of arcing. The connection end 513 is provided with multiple spring-loaded contacts, so that when the connection end 513 is inserted into the interface 3, the spring-loaded contacts are squeezed and maintain close contact with the contacts in the interface 3. The spring-loaded contacts can be coil spring contacts, wave spring contacts, disc spring contacts, etc.
[0049] Example 2
[0050] In some embodiments, the first surface 12 of the shell 1 is provided with an opening 121; the trigger switch assembly 4 includes: a switch body 42, which is movably connected to the shell 1, the trigger part 41 is provided on the switch body 42, and the switch body 42 is provided with a receiving groove 421; the first operating part 43 is provided on the switch body 42 and is in an exposed state through the opening 121; the first magnetic member 45 is provided in the receiving groove 421; the second magnetic member 46 is provided at one end of the first operating part 43 close to the first magnetic member 45, and the two opposite ends of the second magnetic member 46 and the first magnetic member 45 are of the same pole; wherein, the first operating part 43 can slide along the first direction A relative to the opening 121 under the action of external force, so that the first magnetic member 45 is close to the second magnetic member 46, so that the trigger part 41 is in the first position, and when the external force gradually decreases or disappears, the trigger part 41 rebounds to the second position.
[0051] In one possible scenario, Figure 5 As shown, the difference from the first embodiment is that the electronic device uses a first magnetic member 45 and a second magnetic member 46 instead of the first elastic member 44. The first magnetic member 45 and the second magnetic member 46 are a kind of magnetic material that can generate a magnetic field. This magnetic field can attract or repel other magnetic materials. The first magnetic member and the second magnetic member can be ferrite magnets, aluminum nickel cobalt magnets, etc. The first magnetic member 45 can be fixed in the receiving groove 421 by means of bolt connection, snap connection, gluing, etc., and the second magnetic member 46 can be fixed to the first operating part 43 by means of bolt connection, snap connection, gluing, etc. The opposite ends of the first magnetic member 45 and the second magnetic member 46 can be the same north pole or south pole. Before unplugging the plug 5, the user moves the first operating part 43 to overcome the magnetic field force between the first magnetic member 45 and the second magnetic member 46, so that the first operating part 43 drives the trigger part 41 to slide along the first direction A until the trigger part 41 reaches the first position. When plug 5 is removed or inserted, the user removes the external force applied to first operating portion 43. Due to the interaction of the magnetic fields of first magnetic member 45 and second magnetic member 46, which have the same polarity, second magnetic member 46 rebounds to its initial position, triggering portion 41 rebounds to its second position, reconnecting power management module 2 and interface 3, and restoring power. This structure disconnects power between plug 5 and connector 3 to prevent arcing. Furthermore, the coordination of first magnetic member 45 and second magnetic member 46 simplifies user operation and provides a good user experience.
[0052] Example 3
[0053] In some embodiments, the trigger switch assembly 4 includes: a switch body 42, movably connected to the shell 1, and a trigger part 41 is arranged on the switch body 42; an electromagnetic component 47, arranged in the shell 1, for generating a magnetic field; a target component 48, arranged in the switch body 42 and located in the magnetic field; a second operating part 49, arranged on the first surface 12 of the shell 1, for controlling the magnetic field direction of the electromagnetic component 47; wherein, the switch body 42 operates based on the force of the magnetic field to switch the trigger part 41 between the first position and the second position.
[0054] In one possible scenario, Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that an electromagnetic member 47 replaces the elastic member 44. A target member 48 is disposed on the switch body 42 and can be secured to the switch body 42 via bolts, snaps, or other fasteners. The target member 48 is positioned within the magnetic field of the electromagnetic member 47 and, under the force of the magnetic field, drives the switch body 42 to move. The target member 48 can be made of ferromagnetic material, a permanent magnet, or the like. A second operating portion 49 is disposed on the first surface 12 and serves as a user interface 3. It may be in the form of a button, knob, or other device, and is used to control the current flowing into the electromagnetic member 47 and its direction. Each press or rotation triggers circuit logic to reverse the direction of the current. For example, each press of the second operating portion 49 changes the direction of the current, thereby changing the direction of the magnetic field of the electromagnetic member 47. The target member 48 can be attracted or repelled by changes in the electromagnetic field, resulting in displacement. As the target member 48 moves under the action of the electromagnetic force, the entire switch body 42 slides accordingly relative to the housing 1, allowing the triggering portion 41 to switch between the first and second positions. When the user needs to plug or unplug the plug 5, in order to prevent the generation of an electric arc, the second operating part 49 can change the force of the magnetic field of the electromagnetic part 47, so that the trigger part 41 can switch between the first position and the second position. This structure simplifies the user's operating steps and is convenient and quick.
