Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power supply technology, specifically a power supply for a multi-port computing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of computing devices, especially in data centers and high-performance computing, the demand for power supplies is constantly increasing. Multi-port power supplies are widely used in various devices because they can provide power to multiple devices simultaneously. However, existing multi-port power supplies have some problems, particularly regarding the stability and security of the connection between the power plug and the power supply unit.

[0003] Traditional multi-port power plugs mostly rely on mechanical plug-in structures to connect to the power supply unit. This design has the following problems:

[0004] Loose connection: Traditional plugs connect to the power supply body by insertion. Due to equipment vibration or external force, the connection between the plug and the power supply body can easily become loose or fall off, affecting the stable output of the power supply, and may even lead to power outage or equipment damage.

[0005] Unsafe locking: Existing plug locking mechanisms are usually achieved through simple mechanical latches or pressing devices. This design is difficult to withstand vibration and pressure during long-term use, which can easily lead to an insecure lock and the plug can be accidentally pulled out during operation.

[0006] Inconvenient plugging and unplugging: The process of plugging and unplugging the traditional plug and the power supply body is relatively cumbersome, especially in high-power equipment. The plugging and unplugging process often requires a large amount of operating force or precise alignment, which increases the difficulty of equipment maintenance and inconvenience of operation.

[0007] In view of this, we will study and improve upon the existing problems and provide a multi-port computing power supply to solve the current problems. The aim is to solve the problems and improve the practical value through this technology. Utility Model Content

[0008] This utility model relates to a power supply for multi-port computing devices, and more particularly to a device that outputs power through multiple ports. It aims to provide multiple stable power output interfaces for computing devices and has a safe plug-in / plug-out locking function to improve the stability and security of system operation.

[0009] The power supply for this multi-port computing device adopts an innovative structural design, especially at the connection between the power plug and the power body, where a rotary locking mechanism is incorporated. This allows the power plug to be securely connected to the power body via a rotary locking ring, and to be quickly disassembled when needed via an unlocking mechanism.

[0010] The power supply for the multi-port computing device of this utility model includes the following key components:

[0011] Power Supply Unit: The power supply unit is the core component of this device, featuring multiple output ports for multi-port power output. These output ports connect to connectors, providing multiple power outputs to the computing equipment. Each output port has a locking ring rotatably fitted onto its surface to ensure a stable connector connection.

[0012] Plug assembly: The plug assembly is a key component connecting to the output port of the power supply unit. Its surface has electrode cores that are compatible with the output port to ensure stable power output. The plug assembly also has a retaining ring and a locking mechanism. The locking lugs in the locking mechanism cooperate with the lugs on the locking ring to ensure that the plug assembly is firmly fixed to the power supply unit.

[0013] Locking ring: The main function of the locking ring is to lock the plug in the output port of the power supply unit through a rotation mechanism, preventing the plug from falling off due to external force or vibration. The locking ring surface has an unlocking wheel, which is used to manually rotate the locking ring to release the lock and facilitate plug removal. Several lugs are provided on the outer circumference of the locking ring, whose cooperation with the locking lugs ensures a secure lock on the plug.

[0014] Locking assembly: The locking assembly is located on the surface of the plug and has locking lugs. The locking lugs are arranged in a circumferential direction and cooperate with the ear flaps. There is a gap between adjacent locking lugs for the ear flaps to enter. The ear flaps and locking lugs are the same size and are both arc-shaped. This enables the plug to be locked when it is inserted into the output port.

[0015] Angled abutment surface and teeth: During the insertion of the plug, the contact between the angled abutment surface and teeth converts the insertion force into the kinetic energy of the locking ring, achieving secure locking of the plug. The angled abutment surface has a spiral slope, providing smoother rotational resistance and ensuring the stability of the locking process.

[0016] Positioning and rotation mechanism: A convex slip ring is provided on the inner side of the locking ring component. This convex slip ring cooperates with the slip ring groove adapted to the surface of the output port to position the rotational movement of the locking ring component and ensure the smooth progress of the locking and unlocking process.

[0017] Through the above structural design, the multi-port computing power supply of this utility model not only improves the stability and safety of power output, but also makes the plug insertion and removal more convenient through the rotation locking and unlocking mechanism, and can effectively prevent the problem of falling off due to vibration or external force.

[0018] This utility model has a simple design structure, is easy to install and maintain, and is suitable for various types of computing devices, especially in power connection systems that require high stability and security. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.

[0029] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This invention describes a power supply for a multi-port computing device, provided by some embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] The power supply for the multi-port computing device in this embodiment includes a power supply body 100, a plug 200, a locking ring 300, and other additional components such as an output port 110, an electrode core 210, and a locking kit 230.

[0032] The power supply unit 100 is the core component of this device, providing multi-port power output with several output ports 110 arranged on its surface. These ports can simultaneously connect to multiple connectors 200, providing multi-channel power output for the device.

[0033] Each output port 110 is designed with a rotating sleeve structure so that the plug 200 can be securely locked by the locking ring 300 to prevent the plug from falling off due to external force or vibration during use.

[0034] The plug 200 is a key component that connects to the power supply body, and its surface is provided with electrode cores 210 that are adapted to the output port 110. When inserted, the electrode cores 210 make contact with the contact terminals inside the output port 110, ensuring the power supply's multi-port output.

[0035] The plug 200 is also provided with a retaining ring 220 and a locking kit 230 on its surface. The locking kit 230 has several locking lugs 231 on its inner side, which are used to cooperate with the lugs 320 of the locking ring 300 to ensure that the plug 200 can be firmly locked on the output port 110 after insertion.

[0036] The locking ring 300 locks the plug 200 to the power supply body 100 by rotation. The locking ring 300 has an unlocking wheel 330 on its surface, which the operator can rotate to unlock and release the lock.

[0037] The locking ring 300 has a toothed abutment 310 on its surface, which contacts the inclined abutment surface 221. When the plug 200 is inserted, the contact between the inclined abutment surface 221 and the toothed abutment 310 converts the insertion force of the plug into the deflection kinetic energy of the locking ring, causing the locking ring to rotate to the locked position, ensuring that the plug is firmly fixed.

[0038] When the plug 200 is inserted into the output port 110, the electrode core 210 and the contact end inside the output port 110 are connected to realize power output.

[0039] When the plug is inserted, the locking ring 300 deflects and engages the locking lug 231 and the lug 320 to form a locking structure, preventing the plug from falling off due to external force or vibration.

[0040] The locking lugs 231 within the locking assembly 230 are arranged in a circumferential direction, and the ear flaps 320 match the locking lugs 231, ensuring a secure connection through mutual cooperation during insertion. Furthermore, a gap is provided between adjacent locking lugs 231 for the ear flaps 320 to enter, and both the ear flaps 320 and locking lugs 231 are of the same size and are arc-shaped.

[0041] When it is necessary to remove the plug, the operator unlocks it by rotating the unlocking wheel 330. After unlocking, the locking ring 300 deflects, releasing the contact between the locking lug 231 and the lug 320, so that the plug can be pulled out smoothly and the power connection is disconnected.

[0042] The outer periphery of the locking ring 300 is provided with several ear flaps 320, which cooperate with the locking lugs 231. The locking lugs and ear flaps are the same size and are in the shape of arc ears.

[0043] Through this structural design, the fit between the locking lug 231 and the ear flap 320 ensures a stable connection of the plug 200, while avoiding the risk of it falling off during use.

[0044] The inner side of the locking ring 300 is provided with a convex slip ring, which cooperates with the slip ring groove adapted to the surface of the output port 110 to ensure the positioning rotation of the locking ring, thereby providing precise operating torque during locking and unlocking.

[0045] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0046] The plug 200 is inserted into the output port 110 on the surface of the power supply body 100. During the insertion process, the electrode core 210 contacts the contact end inside the output port 110 to ensure the multi-port output of the power supply.

[0047] The locking ring 300 is locked by rotation. The outer periphery of the locking ring 300 has a flap 320, and the locking lug 231 within the locking assembly 230 matches the structure of the flap 320. When the plug 200 is inserted, the inclined abutment surface 221 abuts against the surface of the abutment tooth 310, converting the insertion force of the plug 200 into the deflection kinetic energy of the locking ring 300, causing the locking ring 300 to deflect at a certain angle, thus achieving a secure lock on the plug. After insertion, the mutual abutment between the surfaces of the locking lug 231 and the flap 320 ensures that the plug 200 is firmly locked in the output port 110. At this time, the cooperation between the locking lug 231 and the flap 320 acts as an anti-disengagement locking mechanism, ensuring that the plug will not fall off due to vibration or external force during operation.

[0048] When it is necessary to remove the plug 200, the operator unlocks the locking ring 300 and the plug 200 by rotating the unlocking wheel 330. After unlocking, the locking ring 300 deflects, the contact between the locking lug 231 and the lug 320 is released, and the plug can be pulled out smoothly, completing the quick unlocking and disengagement of the device.
