SUMMARY

[0003] The application embodiment provides a recognizable power plug, and the adapter base and the plug end head are connected through the elastic connection structure of the adapter base and the plug end head, so that the adapter base and the plug end head are tightly plugged, and the problems such as the increase of contact resistance and heating caused by loose plugging can be avoided.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a recognizable power plug, comprising:

[0005] The plug end head is provided with a switching port on one side;

[0006] The adapter base comprises a base cavity, a switching terminal arranged on one side of the base cavity, and an elastic connection between the outer peripheral wall of the switching terminal and the inner wall of the switching port;

[0007] The detection module is used to collect electrical characteristic signals generated in the plugging operation, and the detection module is dispersedly arranged on the joint interface of the plug end head and the adapter base, and the detection module is connected with the processing module arranged in the base cavity through signal transmission to analyze the electrical characteristic signals and match the preset value.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that:

[0009] Through the dispersedly arranged detection module, the signals collected by multiple detection modules can be verified and supplemented, so as to support accurate adaptation of multiple plug types;

[0010] Meanwhile, the elastic connection structure adopted by the adapter terminal and the adapter port makes the adapter terminal and the adapter port tightly connected, which can avoid the problems of increased contact resistance and heating caused by loose connection, and is especially suitable for high-vibration environments (such as vehicle charging scenarios). In addition, the plug end is a separate module and can be quickly replaced. The adapter base can be compatible with new plug standards through software upgrade, without the need for overall hardware modification.

[0011] As an improvement, the outer peripheral wall of the adapter terminal is provided with elastic contact fingers in the axial direction, and a pressure-sensitive resistor is arranged at the root of the elastic contact fingers. The pressure-sensitive resistor is connected to the processing module through signal transmission. The root of the elastic contact finger is directly embedded in the pressure-sensitive resistor, which can accurately capture the micro-pressure changes caused by the deformation of the contact finger and feed back to the processing module in real time. When the contact pressure exceeds the threshold value (such as when the plug is not fully inserted, causing local pressure to be too high), a signal is triggered immediately to prompt the user to re-plug.

[0012] As an improvement, the detection module includes an inductance detection module and a capacitance detection module. A magnetically conductive alloy separation layer is arranged between the capacitance detection module and the inductance detection module to avoid magnetic field interference with power supply signals. The magnetically conductive alloy separation layer has high magnetic permeability and can constrain the stray magnetic field generated by the inductance detection module in a specific path, preventing it from penetrating into the capacitance detection module area. This makes the electric field measurement of the capacitance detection module not be disturbed by the alternating magnetic field, reducing the capacitance value detection error.

[0013] As an improvement, the inductance detection module includes a first adjustment block arranged on one side of the plug end close to the adapter base and capable of adjusting the embedding depth, a first matching groove arranged on one side of the adapter base corresponding to the first adjustment block, and an inductance winding distributed along the circumferential edge of the first matching groove. The first adjustment block is made of magnetically conductive material. By changing the embedding depth of the first adjustment block in the first matching groove, the real-time magnetic circuit parameters of the inductance detection module can be changed. The embedding depth of the first adjustment block made of magnetically conductive material changes directly, changing the magnetic circuit length and cross-sectional area of the inductance winding, so that the inductance value presents a linear gradient response.

[0014] As an improvement, the capacitance detection module includes a second adjustment block arranged on one side of the plug end close to the adapter base and capable of adjusting the embedding depth, a second matching groove arranged on one side of the adapter base corresponding to the second adjustment block, and a first and a second capacitance coupling sheet symmetrically distributed on the outer peripheral side wall of the second matching groove. The surface of the second adjustment block is covered with a dielectric layer. By changing the embedding depth of the second adjustment block in the second matching groove, the real-time capacitance value of the capacitance detection module can be changed. By combining the capacitance change and the magnetic field characteristics, the plug type can be comprehensively judged, avoiding single parameter misjudgment. In addition, the capacitance detection module changes the capacitance value through physical displacement, avoiding the parasitic effect of electronic components under high-frequency signals and reducing the risk of electromagnetic interference.
