Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connection devices, and in particular to an integrated electrode assembly. Background Technology
[0002] To accommodate multiple devices, existing sockets (such as cube sockets) typically employ a multi-sided independent socket design, with each side equipped with an independent electrode assembly. These electrode assemblies generally utilize a split copper component structure; their implementation and drawbacks are as follows:
[0003] The structure is complex and assembly efficiency is low. The split copper components require separate stamping of independent inserts for the L and N poles, which then need to be manually or mechanically distinguished and spot-welded together, making the process cumbersome. In addition, to prevent short circuits between the L and N poles, a plastic isolation bracket needs to be added between the copper components, further increasing the number of parts and assembly steps, resulting in low production efficiency.
[0004] Manufacturing costs are high. The multi-part processing (stamping, welding, insulation) of split copper components requires specialized molds and high-precision positioning equipment, and the injection molding and assembly of plastic isolation brackets further increase material and labor costs. For the cube structure of multi-sided sockets, the number of electrode components increases exponentially, further driving up the overall cost.
[0005] Low space utilization. The combination of separate copper components and plastic brackets occupies a large amount of space, limiting the compact design of the socket. For multi-faceted structures such as cube sockets, the stacking of electrode components further leads to a bulky size, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of miniaturized electronic devices.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of electrode assembly that simplifies the structure and reduces costs through an integrated design, while simultaneously improving the compactness and space utilization efficiency of the socket. Existing technologies urgently need improvement to address these issues. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated electrode assembly that offers advantages such as simplified structure, reduced cost, and improved space utilization efficiency.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0009] This application provides an integrated electrode assembly with the following technical solution: two annular electrode sheets integrally formed from an elastic conductive material, the two annular electrode sheets being connected circumferentially to form a continuous annular structure, and multiple electrode sockets distributed circumferentially between the two annular electrode sheets; the connection of the annular electrode sheets is designed with pre-compression stress, so that the two annular electrode sheets generate synergistic elastic deformation when the plug is inserted into the electrode socket to radially expand and clamp the plug metal sheet, and return to the initial closed state based on the material's springback characteristics after the plug is pulled out.
[0010] This design features two integrally molded annular electrode plates, a circumferentially connected annular structure, circumferentially distributed electrode sockets, and pre-stressed connection points. These features work synergistically: integral molding reduces assembly steps, the annular structure improves space utilization, the circumferentially distributed sockets enable multi-angle insertion, and the pre-stressed design ensures elastic clamping and automatic reset during insertion and removal. This design simplifies the structure and optimizes spatial layout through integral molding and elastic deformation mechanisms, while ensuring the reliability of electrode connections. It overcomes the shortcomings of conventional designs, such as low efficiency, cumbersome manufacturing processes, and high assembly costs, and eliminates the need for internal plastic isolation supports, significantly reducing production costs.
[0011] Furthermore, this application proposes that the projected shape of the annular electrode sheet is constructed as a polygon, and the two annular electrode sheets form the electrode socket between at least two sides. The polygonal design expands the contact interface by increasing the number of sides, so that the contact line between the electrode sheet and the metal sheet changes from one side to multiple sides when the plug is inserted.
[0012] Furthermore, the two annular electrode plates each have an electrode insertion hole formed between each side.
[0013] Furthermore, this application proposes that the two annular electrode pieces are connected only by a single-sided elastic connecting arm. The elastic connecting arm and the two annular electrode pieces are integrally stamped, and the two annular electrode pieces are bent on both sides of the connecting arm to form a spatially approximately symmetrical clamping structure. This solution has the following advantages: 1) The single-sided elastic connecting arm design achieves elastic connection between the two electrode pieces and allows for the integral electrode assembly to be obtained by bending after integral stamping; 2) The integral stamping process ensures the material continuity between the connecting arm and the electrode pieces; 3) The symmetrical clamping structure formed by bending on both sides of the connecting arm. These features work synergistically: the elastic connecting arm provides basic elastic support, the integral molding ensures structural strength, and the symmetrical bending design ensures that the clamping force is evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, thereby achieving stable radial clamping and reset functions during insertion and extraction. This solution, by optimizing the connection structure, simplifies the traditional annular connection to a single-sided elastic arm connection, retaining the synergistic deformation characteristics of the integral electrode while simplifying the manufacturing process through the symmetrical bending design.
[0014] Furthermore, this application proposes that there are at least two elastic connecting arms, distributed at both ends of the same side of the two annular electrode plates. Firstly, this solution specifies that two elastic connecting arms are distributed at both ends of the same side of the two annular electrode plates, which also satisfies the requirement of the same side as in the aforementioned solution. Thus, when the two annular electrode plates and the elastic connecting arms between them are integrally stamped, an integral electrode assembly can be obtained by bending. Secondly, placing the two connecting arms at both ends of the same side of the two annular electrode plates improves the connection elasticity of the two annular electrode plates. The two connecting arms work together to improve clamping stability, ensuring that the electrode plates maintain synchronous deformation and reset during insertion and removal.
[0015] Furthermore, this application proposes that the two annular electrode plates are respectively provided with a first protrusion and a second protrusion on their annular surfaces; the first protrusions are symmetrically distributed along the circumference of the annular electrode plates, and the first protrusions on the two annular electrode plates extend in opposite directions to form the electrode insertion hole; the second protrusions are disposed on both sides of the first protrusions, and their surfaces form a continuous concave-convex structure, and the second protrusions on the two annular electrode plates also extend in opposite directions; the concave-convex structure expands radially through elastic deformation when the plug is inserted to clamp the plug metal plate, and returns to the initial closed state based on the material's springback characteristics after the plug is pulled out. The function of the above solution is:
[0016] 1. The first protrusion is circumferentially symmetrically distributed: a stable electrode socket space structure is formed by the back extension design to ensure the centering when the plug is inserted;
[0017] 2. The concave-convex second protrusions on both sides of the first protrusion: the continuous concave-convex structure increases the contact area and achieves multi-point uniform clamping through elastic deformation;
[0018] 3. The second protrusion extending backward: It deforms in conjunction with the plug to generate radial expansion force, and self-resets after being pulled out by the material's springback.
[0019] 4. Synergistic effect: The first protrusion forms the basic socket frame, and the concave-convex structure of the second protrusion provides dynamic clamping force through elastic deformation. The two work together to achieve adaptive clamping when the plug is inserted and automatic reset after being pulled out, while avoiding the complex assembly requirements of traditional split structures.
[0020] Furthermore, this application proposes that the first protrusion is located at the middle of the side of the annular electrode sheet, and the second protrusion is located at the corner of the annular electrode sheet. The first protrusion is located at the middle of the side of the annular electrode sheet, and the second protrusion is located at the corner. The symmetrical distribution of the first protrusion at the middle position ensures balanced force when the electrode socket is closed, while the placement of the second protrusion at the corner enhances multi-point contact during radial expansion through its concave-convex structure. The coordinated layout of the two ensures uniform elastic deformation when the plug is inserted, and also improves the torsional resistance of the overall structure through corner support, thereby achieving a dual optimization of clamping stability and spatial compactness.
[0021] This design utilizes a differentiated spatial positioning of the protrusions, with the first protrusion in the middle bearing the main clamping function and the second protrusion at the corners providing auxiliary support, forming a graded elastic deformation mechanism that maximizes material rebound efficiency within a limited space.
[0022] Furthermore, this application proposes that at least one of the annular electrode plates has an input connector for connecting to an external power source. The input connector is a connecting plate bent away from the other annular electrode plate, and the connecting plate has a wiring through-hole. The features of this solution are as follows:
[0023] 1) An input connector is integrated onto the ring-shaped electrode plate, achieving a unified design for power connection and electrode clamping functions; 2) The input connector adopts a back-bent connecting plate structure to avoid interference with other electrode plates; 3) The connecting plate has through holes for wiring, facilitating the fixing of power wires by screws or riveting. These features work synergistically: the bent structure achieves electrical isolation within a limited space, the through holes provide a standardized connection interface, and the overall solution maintains the integrated structure of the electrode assembly while solving the problem of complex assembly caused by the need for additional welding or clamping components in traditional separate electrodes. This solution extends the electrode plate body to form a connecting structure, eliminating the assembly steps of independent terminals, maintaining the compactness of the integrated electrode while achieving reliable mechanical connection and electrical contact for power input.
[0024] Furthermore, this application proposes that at least one of the annular electrode plates has an output connector for connecting other power supply components, wherein the output connector is a wiring through-hole formed on the annular electrode plate. Two core features of this solution are: first, the output connector is directly integrated onto the annular electrode plate, eliminating the need for additional connecting components in a separate structure; second, the wiring through-hole on the annular electrode plate body serves as the output interface, achieving electrical connection through an integrated molding structure. These two features work synergistically, simplifying the structure of the output connector through integrated design, reducing the number of components, and improving space utilization, making the electrode assembly more compact.
[0025] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the integrated electrode assembly can be used as an L-type electrode assembly or an N-type electrode assembly.
[0026] As can be seen from the above, the integrated electrode assembly and its application provided in this application achieve automatic clamping when the plug is inserted and automatic reset after being pulled out through the integrated ring electrode sheet structure and pre-stress design. This solves the problems of complex structure, low assembly efficiency, high manufacturing cost and low space utilization of existing split electrode assemblies, and has the advantages of simplified structure, reduced cost and improved space utilization efficiency.

[0034] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this embodiment relates to an integrated electrode assembly, including two annular electrode sheets 10 integrally formed from an elastic conductive material. The two annular electrode sheets 10 are connected circumferentially to form a continuous annular structure, and multiple electrode sockets 20 are evenly distributed circumferentially between the two annular electrode sheets 10. The connection of the annular electrode sheets 10 is designed with pre-compression stress, so that the two annular electrode sheets 10 undergo synergistic elastic deformation when the plug is inserted into the electrode sockets 20 to radially expand and clamp the plug metal sheet, and return to the initial closed state based on the material's springback characteristics after the plug is pulled out. The elastic conductive material includes, but is not limited to, beryllium bronze, phosphor bronze, or nickel-titanium alloy, and its yield strength must meet the deformation requirements of repeated insertion and removal. The pre-compression stress design can be achieved by controlling the die gap during stamping, so that the connection retains the initial compression. The number of electrode sockets 20 is preferably 4-8, evenly distributed along the annular structure to ensure the reliability of multi-angle insertion. This technical solution eliminates the assembly process of separate electrodes through a one-piece molding process. The pre-stress design causes the two electrode pieces 10 to deform synergistically during insertion and removal, ensuring stable contact with the plug metal pieces. The material's springback characteristics allow the component to pass 5000 insertion and removal cycles. Compared to a separate structure, this solution eliminates the welding process and insulating supports, reducing production costs, while also enabling multi-angle adaptive alignment of the socket 20.
[0035] The integrated electrode assembly described above can be either an L-type (L) electrode assembly or an N-type (N) electrode assembly. Specifically, the L-type and N-type electrode assemblies are structurally identical, but are distinguished by clear polarity markings in practical applications. For example, L or N markings can be provided on the input connector 50 of the electrode assembly, or different colored insulating coatings can be applied to the annular electrode plate 10 of the electrode assembly to differentiate polarity. As a preferred embodiment, the L-type and N-type electrode assemblies are manufactured using the same molds and processes, and are only distinguished by polarity markings in the final assembly stage, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing costs.
[0036] In the specific design, the projected shape of the annular electrode sheet 10 is constructed as a polygon, and the two annular electrode sheets 10 form electrode insertion holes 20 between at least two sides. The specific implementation of the polygonal projected shape includes, but is not limited to, regular hexagons, regular octagons, or rectangles. Specifically, a regular hexagonal structure can achieve uniform force distribution through six straight sides of equal length; a regular octagonal structure can further increase the number of contact sides; and a rectangular structure is easy to process and can form a stable right-angled clamping surface. The electrode insertion holes 20 are formed by punching an insertion gap between adjacent sides of the two annular electrode sheets 10, or by using a bending process to form an open structure on the sides. This technical solution changes the traditional single contact mode of circular electrode sheets through a polygonal structure. When the plug is inserted, the plug simultaneously forms surface contact with two sides, making the clamping force distribution more uniform. The electrode insertion holes 20 formed by the two sides trigger symmetrical elastic deformation of the plug during insertion, and the radial force generated by the synchronous expansion on both sides improves clamping stability.
[0037] In a further embodiment, each of the two annular electrode plates 10 has an electrode socket 20 formed between its sides. The electrode socket 20 is designed as a trapezoidal or elliptical opening to accommodate different plug sizes. The spacing of the sockets 20 can be optimized according to the elastic modulus of the material; for example, a smaller spacing is used in high-rigidity alloy materials to enhance the density of the clamping force distribution. This technical solution provides electrode sockets 20 on each side of the polygonal electrode plate 10, ensuring a continuous circumferential distribution of plug contact points. Specifically, the polygonal geometry provides a basis for the uniform distribution of the sockets 20, and the resulting synergistic deformation allows the clamping force to be uniformly transmitted circumferentially across the annular electrode plate 10, effectively avoiding stress concentration caused by the absence of local sockets 20 in traditional solutions.
[0038] like Figure 1As shown, the two annular electrode plates 10 are connected only by a single elastic connecting arm 30 on one side. The elastic connecting arm 30 and the two annular electrode plates 10 are integrally stamped, and the two annular electrode plates 10 are bent on both sides of the elastic connecting arm 30 to form a clamping structure with approximately symmetrical spatial distribution. In a preferred embodiment, the bending angle of the elastic connecting arm 30 is controlled within the range of 90°-120°. Furthermore, the symmetry deviation of the symmetrical clamping structure should be less than 5%, which can be achieved through precise alignment of the stamping die. For example, the elastic connecting arm 30 can adopt a wavy or sawtooth structure design to enhance lateral elastic deformation capability. In addition, the transition area between the elastic connecting arm 30 and the electrode plate 10 can be provided with a rounded chamfer to improve stress distribution.
[0039] Therefore, this technical solution achieves elastic coupling between the two electrode plates 10 through a single-sided elastic connecting arm 30, while ensuring material continuity through integral stamping. During insertion and extraction, the elastic deformation of the elastic connecting arm 30 causes the two electrode plates 10 to expand or reset synchronously. Compared with the traditional full-circumference connection method, this design retains the cooperative deformation characteristics while simplifying the manufacturing process through partial connection. Specifically, the stamping process is simplified from multi-step bending to single-step forming, and the symmetrical clamping structure reduces the fluctuation of insertion and extraction force, significantly improving contact stability. This structure is particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent insertion and extraction, extending service life while ensuring reliable contact.
[0040] In a further design, there are at least two elastic connecting arms 30, distributed at both ends of the same side of the two annular electrode plates 10. This technical solution achieves mechanical optimization through the symmetrical layout of the two elastic connecting arms 30: when the plug is inserted, the two elastic connecting arms 30 deform collaboratively, distributing the clamping force evenly across both ends of the electrode plate 10, avoiding stress concentration caused by a single-arm structure; simultaneously, the two elastic connecting arms 30 form redundant support, maintaining basic clamping function even when one side of the elastic connecting arm 30 undergoes plastic deformation. Compared to existing split electrodes, this design maintains the advantages of integrated stamping technology while improving insertion / removal cycle life through structural symmetry, without requiring additional components.
[0041] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, the annular surfaces of the two annular electrode plates 10 are respectively provided with a first protrusion 41 and a second protrusion 42; the first protrusion 41 is symmetrically distributed along the circumference of the annular electrode plate 10, and the first protrusion 41 on the two annular electrode plates 10 extends in opposite directions to form an electrode socket 20; the second protrusion 42 is disposed on both sides of the first protrusion 41, and its surface forms a continuous concave-convex structure, and the second protrusion 42 on the two annular electrode plates 10 also extends in opposite directions; the concave-convex structure generates radial expansion through elastic deformation to clamp the plug metal plate when the plug is inserted, and returns to the initial closed state based on the material springback characteristics after the plug is pulled out.
[0042] Specifically, the distribution design of the first protrusion 41 and the second protrusion 42 can be achieved through a stamping process to form a circumferentially arranged protrusion structure on the annular electrode sheet 10. The concave-convex structure formed by the combination of the first protrusion 41 and the second protrusion 42 can adopt a wavy, sawtooth, or trapezoidal cross-section, with the height difference between the crests and troughs controlled within a reasonable range, thereby providing sufficient elastic deformation space while ensuring structural strength. To this end, this technical solution constructs a stable frame for the socket 20 through the first protrusion 41, ensuring centering and initial positioning accuracy when the plug is inserted; the continuous concave-convex structure of the first protrusion 41 and the second protrusion 42 generates synergistic elastic deformation when the plug is inserted. Compared with a split electrode, the back-extending protrusion structure forms a self-balancing force system when expanding radially, thereby simplifying the structure while achieving stable dynamic clamping. The material's springback characteristics allow the electrode socket 20 to automatically return to a closed state after the plug is removed, solving the problem of poor reset performance in traditional structures. The one-piece protrusion design eliminates the assembly process and isolation brackets required for split electrodes, significantly improving production efficiency and space utilization.
[0043] In a further specific embodiment, the first protrusion 41 is located at the middle of the side of the annular electrode sheet 10, and the second protrusion 42 is located at the corner of the annular electrode sheet 10.
[0044] Specifically, the first protrusion 41 at the middle position on the side can be configured in ways including, but not limited to, forming symmetrically distributed hemispherical protrusions in the central region of the side of the annular electrode sheet 10 using a stamping process. The second protrusion 42 at the corner can be implemented by integrally forming the second protrusion 42 at the corner of the annular electrode sheet 10, or by processing the corner area into a protruding structure using a bending process. Thus, this technical solution achieves dual optimization through a spatially hierarchical layout of the protrusions: the first protrusion 41 at the middle position ensures balanced radial force when the electrode socket 20 is closed, resulting in uniform elastic deformation when the plug is inserted; the second protrusion 42 at the corner provides auxiliary support when the plug expands radially. The synergistic effect of both ensures stability during clamping and enhances the overall structure's torsional resistance through corner support. Compared to existing split electrodes, this design maximizes material springback efficiency within the same space, simultaneously meeting the requirements of clamping stability and spatial compactness without requiring additional structural components.
[0045] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, at least one of the annular electrode plates 10 has an input connector 50 for connecting to an external power source. This input connector 50 is a connecting plate bent away from the other annular electrode plate 10, and the connecting plate has a wiring through-hole 70. The backward bending structure of the input connector 50 refers to the connecting plate extending radially outward along the annular electrode plate 10 and then bending away from the other annular electrode plate 10. The bending angle is preferably 90° to 135° to ensure sufficient electrical clearance between the connecting plate and the other electrode plate 10. The wiring through-hole 70 can be configured in various ways, including but not limited to: circular through-hole, elongated through-hole, or polygonal through-hole. Threads can be machined into the through-hole 70, or a metal bushing can be installed to enhance connection reliability. This technical solution integrates the power connection structure directly onto the annular electrode plate 10, achieving the integration of electrode clamping and power input functions. Specifically, the backward bending connecting plate structure avoids interference with the opposing electrode plate 10 within a limited space, while the three-dimensional structure formed by the bending enhances the mechanical strength of the connector. The wiring through-hole 70 is a standardized power interface, which allows for reliable wire fixing via bolts, rivets, or crimp terminals. This solves the assembly complexity problem caused by the need for additional welding or clamping components in traditional split electrodes. Compared with existing technologies, this design eliminates the assembly steps of separate wiring terminals, maintaining the compactness of the electrode assembly while offering both ease of installation and reliable electrical connections.
[0046] Furthermore, at least one of the annular electrode plates 10 has an output connector 60 for connecting other power supply components. The output connector 60 is a wiring through-hole 70 formed on the annular electrode plate 10. The output connector 60 is achieved by punching a through-hole 70 at a predetermined position on the annular electrode plate 10. This through-hole 70 is used to pass through wires or connect conductive terminals of other power supply components. Further, multiple wiring through-holes 70 can be provided and evenly distributed around the annular electrode plate 10 to accommodate the connection requirements of power supply components in different directions. Additionally, the edges of the wiring through-holes 70 can be designed with a chamfered structure to avoid wear on the wire insulation layer. This technical solution, by directly integrating the output connector 60 onto the annular electrode plate 10, eliminates the additional connecting components in a split structure, using the wiring through-hole 70 on the annular electrode plate 10 body as the output interface, and achieving electrical connection using a one-piece molding structure. This not only simplifies the structure of the output connector 60 and reduces the number of parts, but also improves space utilization, making the electrode assembly more compact. Compared with existing split electrode assemblies, there is no need to manufacture and assemble output connectors separately, eliminating contact problems caused by tolerance of connectors, and the integrated structure has higher mechanical strength and conductivity stability.
