[0029] Figure 2 It is a circuit diagram of an implementation method of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the contents of this invention, those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and that such equivalents also fall within the scope of the claims appended hereto.

[0031] The embodiment of the utility model relates to a device for switching a single power source output to multiple outputs, such as Figure 1As shown, the device is composed of a relay group 5, a relay group 6, a relay group 7, a relay group 8, a relay group power supply 12 (i.e., a first power supply), a relay group controller 10, a relay group controller power supply 11 (i.e., a second power supply), a device terminal block 1 (i.e., a first terminal block), a device terminal block 2, a device terminal block 3, a device terminal block 4, and a power source terminal block 9 (i.e., a second terminal block), thereby realizing the function of switching a single power source output to multiple devices. It should be noted that the number of relay groups and terminal blocks of the present invention can be freely combined. This embodiment is described by taking four relay groups and four terminal blocks as an example, but is not limited to this.

[0032] The components of the device are described as follows:

[0033] 1) Relay Group: The number of relays in the relay module is determined by the number of power source output harnesses. For example, if there are 12 harnesses, 12 single-open / single-close relays or 6 two-open / two-close relays are used. These relays are combined into a relay group. The number of relay groups is determined by the number of electrical devices. For example, if there are four electrical devices, four relay groups are required to control them. The relays are controlled by energizing and de-energizing the relay coil with a 5V voltage.

[0034] 2) Relay group power supply: Provides a stable DC 5V voltage to the relay and powers the relay coil.

[0035] 3) Relay Group Controller: This module enables multi-line output, disconnection, and switching via an RS485 communication interface. It controls the relay group's power cords by on / off. The relay group controller also remembers the user's most recent operation, automatically executing the user's most recent operation each time the device is powered on and off.

[0036] 4) Relay group controller power supply: Provides a stable DC 5V voltage for the relay group controller.

[0037] 5) Terminal blocks for electrical equipment: Provides a plug-in wiring method using terminal blocks for electrical equipment, which can eliminate safety hazards caused by leakage during wiring and incorrect wiring sequence.

[0038] 6) Power source output terminal block: Provides a plug-in terminal block wiring method for the power source, which can eliminate the safety hazards caused by leakage during the wiring process and incorrect wiring sequence.

[0039] During implementation, securely install the power source switching device in a suitable location, then plug the power source's output wires into the power source's output terminal block. Finally, plug the power-consuming device into the device's terminal block to complete the wiring between the device, the power source, and the device being powered. When the device is connected to a 220V mains supply, the mains will power the relay controller module and the relay group. Use an RS485 serial communication cable to connect the relay group controller to a control device (a host computer capable of serial communication). The control device will communicate with the device via RS485 and issue control commands.

[0040] When power is needed, the relay group controller turns on a relay group to complete the power output to a device. If the device has been used before, the most recent operation will be automatically executed after the device is powered on.

[0041] When the power source output needs to be switched, the relay group controller opens a certain relay group to complete the power source output to a certain device. When the power-consuming device needs to be switched, the relay group controller switches the path of the power source output to the power-consuming device to complete the switching of the power source output to multiple power-consuming devices.

[0042] When it is necessary to stop the power source output, the power source output is stopped, and then the relay group controller is instructed to disconnect all paths.
