[0033] All terms used in this disclosure have the same meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains, unless otherwise specifically defined. It should also be understood that terms defined in general dictionaries should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant art, and not as idealized or highly formalized, unless expressly defined herein.

[0034] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0035] In related technologies, the power distribution unit is provided with a clamping piece to clamp the copper piece of the connector plug of the electrical device, so that the power distribution unit and the electrical device are electrically connected, so that power can be supplied to the electrical device through the power distribution unit.

[0036] However, as the usage time increases, the clamping force of the clamping plate decreases, or it becomes misaligned, which can easily lead to poor contact or even short circuits between the clamping plate and the connector of the electrical equipment.

[0037] The inventors of this disclosure have discovered a power distribution device that can include a plug-in module and a plug-in socket. The plug-in module includes a housing and a first conductive sheet connected to the housing. The first conductive sheet has a first part and a second part connected at an angle. The plug-in socket includes a base and a second conductive sheet connected to the base, and the plug-in socket is provided with a plug-in groove. When the plug-in module is inserted into the plug-in groove under a target force, the second part can elastically deform relative to the first part, and the angle between them gradually decreases until the second part is parallel to the second conductive sheet and achieves contact and conductivity. After the plug-in module and the plug-in socket are separated, the first conductive sheet elastically resets to its initial angled state. Thus, after multiple insertion and removal operations, the first part and the second part of the first conductive sheet still maintain an angle, ensuring reliable contact during each insertion and reducing the occurrence of poor contact, misalignment, or other issues.

[0038] This disclosure provides a power distribution device 10, see [link to previous document]. Figures 1 to 8The power distribution device 10 may include: a plug-in module 11 and a plug-in socket 12. The plug-in module 11 may include: a housing 111 and a plurality of first conductive sheets 112. The first conductive sheets 112 are connected to the housing 111. The first conductive sheets 112 have a first part 1121 and a second part 1122. The second part 1122 is connected to the first part 1121 at an angle. The plug-in socket 12 may include: a seat body 121 and a second conductive sheet 122. The seat body 121 is provided with a plug-in groove 1211. The second conductive sheet 122 is connected to the seat body 121. Under the target force, the plug-in module 11 is plugged into the plug-in groove 1211. The angle between the second part 1122 and the first part 1121 decreases so that it is parallel to and abuts against the second conductive sheet 122.

[0039] In the plug-in module 11, the housing 111 can be made of metal (such as aluminum alloy) or non-metallic materials (such as plastic, ceramic, carbon fiber, wood, etc.), and can conform to national standards 10A, 16A, C13, and C19. The first conductive sheet 112 can be connected to the housing 111 by screws, clips, etc., and can be at least partially located inside the housing 111 to protect the first conductive sheet 112. The first conductive sheet 112 can include a first part 1121 and a second part 1122. The first part 1121 and the second part 1122 can be integrally formed or welded together. Integral forming or welding can improve the structural strength between the first part 1121 and the second part 1122. The first portion 1121 and the second portion 1122 of the first conductive sheet 112 have an included angle (such as an obtuse angle), allowing the first conductive sheet 112 to have a bent structure. Either the first portion 1121 or the second portion 1122 can be a copper sheet made of 0.6mm thick phosphor bronze. Phosphor bronze has the characteristics of low resistance and high elastic potential energy. The high elastic potential energy allows the second portion 1122 to deform relative to the first portion 1121, thereby reducing the included angle between the second portion 1122 and the first portion 1121, and making it parallel and abutting against the second conductive sheet 122. In the abutting state, the elastic restoring force between the first portion 1121 and the second portion 1122 causes the second portion 1122 to press against the second conductive sheet 122, so as to maintain reliable contact with the second conductive sheet 122. The first conductive sheet 112 is used to connect with the copper sheet of the plug on the electrical device, so that the first conductive sheet 112 can transmit current to the copper sheet, thereby supplying power to the electrical device.

[0040] The connector 12 and its body 121 may be provided with multiple connector slots 1211. The openings of the multiple connector slots 1211 may correspond to the same surface of the body 121, so that the connector module 11 can be inserted into the multiple connector slots 1211 from the same side of the connector 12. The second conductive sheet 122 may be provided inside the connector slot 1211 or outside the connector slot 1211 and exposed through the clearance hole 1212 on the connector slot 1211.

[0041] See one example. Figures 1 to 8 The power distribution device 10 may include: multiple plug-in modules 11 and plug-in sockets 12. Each plug-in module 11 may include: a housing 111 and multiple first conductive plates 112. The first conductive plates 112 are connected to the housing 111. The first conductive plates 112 have a first portion 1121 and a second portion 1122. The second portion 1122 is connected to the first portion 1121 at an angle and extends out from the outside of the plug-in module 11. Either the first portion 1121 or the second portion 1122 may be made of copper sheet made of 0.6mm thick phosphor bronze. The plug-in socket 12 may include: a base 121 and a second conductive plate 122. The base 121 is provided with multiple plug-in slots 1211. The plug-in slots 1211 are used for detachable insertion of the plug-in module 11. The conductive sheet 122 is connected to the base 121, and the second conductive sheet 122 is exposed from multiple insertion slots 1211. The second conductive sheet 122 can be made of copper sheet made of 0.6mm thick phosphor bronze. Under the target force, a insertion module 11 is inserted into an insertion slot 1211. The angle between the second part 1122 and the first part 1121 of the insertion module 11 decreases, so that it can be parallel to and abut against the second conductive sheet 122 in the insertion slot 1211. Under the opposite force to the target force, the insertion module 11 can move away from the insertion slot 1211 to disengage from the insertion slot 1211, and the first conductive sheet 112 can return to its original state. This eliminates the need for welding process, greatly improves the factory's production efficiency, and indirectly reduces production costs.

[0042] In this embodiment, the power distribution device 10 may include a plug-in module 11 and a plug-in socket 12. The plug-in module 11 includes a housing 111 and a first conductive sheet 112 connected to the housing 111. The first conductive sheet 112 has a first portion 1121 and a second portion 1122 connected at an angle. The plug-in socket 12 includes a seat 121 and a second conductive sheet 122 connected to the seat 121. The seat 121 is provided with a plug-in groove 1211. When the plug-in module 11 is inserted into the plug-in groove 1211 under the action of a target force, the second conductive sheet 1122... Part 1122 undergoes elastic deformation relative to the first part 1121, and the included angle between the two gradually decreases until the second part 1122 is parallel to the second conductive sheet 122 and achieves contact and conduction. When the plug module 11 is separated from the plug socket 12, the first conductive sheet 112 returns to its initial included angle state by its own elasticity. In this way, after multiple plugging and unplugging operations, the first part 1121 and the second part 1122 of the first conductive sheet 112 still maintain an included angle, thereby ensuring reliable contact during each plugging and reducing the occurrence of poor contact, misalignment and other phenomena. Furthermore, when the second part 1122 of the first conductive sheet 112 is parallel to and abuts against the second conductive sheet 122, the second part 1122 and the second conductive sheet 122 achieve surface contact, increasing the contact area, thereby reducing the contact resistance and preventing overheating caused by high contact resistance. As the plug module 11 separates from the plug slot 1211 of the plug socket 12 and is reinserted, the second part 1122 moves and is displaced on the second conductive sheet 122. The resulting displacement can destroy the oxide layer generated by the copper busbar of the second conductive sheet 122, thereby further reducing the contact resistance with the second part 1122 and thus avoiding overheating between the second part 1122 and the second conductive sheet 122.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The housing 111 has a first side 1111 and a second side 1112 facing away from each other. The first side 1111 has a plurality of insertion holes 1113, and the second side 1112 is provided with a first conductive sheet 112 corresponding to the insertion holes 1113; the first side 1111 and the second side 1112 are aligned along a first direction (e.g., Figure 7 , Figure 8 Distribution in the X direction.

[0044] In other words, the housing 111 extends along a first direction and has a second side 1112 with a first side 1111 distributed along the first direction and opposite to each other. The sockets 1113 provided on the housing 111 and the first conductive sheet 112 connected to the housing 111 are also distributed along the first direction. Thus, when the connector plug of the electrical device is inserted into the multiple sockets 1113 of the first side 1111, the connector plug inserted into the housing 111 can connect with the first part 1121 of the first conductive sheet 112, thereby realizing the conduction between the connector plug and the first conductive sheet 112, and enabling the first conductive sheet 112 to transmit current to the connector plug, so as to supply power to the electrical device.

[0045] In this embodiment, the housing 111 has a first side 1111 and a second side 1112 that are opposite to each other along a first direction. The socket 1113 and the first conductive piece 112 can be respectively located on the first side 1111 and the second side 1112 of the housing 111. In this way, a force along the first direction can be applied to the plug-in module 11 so that during the process of the plug-in module 11 being inserted into the plug-in slot 1211, the second part 1122 of the first conductive piece 112 of the plug-in module 11 is parallel to and abuts against the second conductive piece 122. When the plug-in module 11 is inserted into the plug-in slot 1211, the socket 1113 is exposed from the seat 121 so that the connection plug of the electrical device can be inserted.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The angle between the first part 1121 and the second part 1122 is an obtuse angle, and the first part 1121 extends along the first direction.

[0047] The first portion 1121 extends along a first direction. The angle between the first portion 1121 and the second portion 1122 can be greater than 90 degrees and less than 110 degrees, such as 106 degrees. In this case, after applying an external force along the first direction to the plug-in module 11 and causing the end of the second portion 1122 away from the first portion 1121 to contact the second conductive sheet 122, the angle between the second portion 1122 and the second conductive sheet 122 will not exceed 10 degrees. This smaller angle helps... The second part 1122 can be perpendicular to the first part 1121 and parallel to the second conductive sheet 122 within a short time, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the plug-in module 11 and the plug-in socket 12. In addition, the included angle between the first part 1121 and the second part 1122 is 106 degrees, and the two are elastic. After the second part 1122 is perpendicular to the first part 1121, the elastic restoring force between the two makes the contact and conduction effect between the second part 1122 and the second conductive sheet 122 more reliable.

[0048] In some embodiments, the end of the second portion 1122 away from the first portion 1121 has a guide portion that abuts against the second conductive sheet 122 to reduce the angle between the second portion 1122 and the first portion 1121.

[0049] The guide portion can be a raised arc-shaped portion. In this way, after an external force along the first direction is applied to the plug-in module 11 and the end of the second portion 1122 away from the first portion 1121 contacts the second conductive sheet 122, the guide portion can slide smoothly along the second conductive sheet 122, thereby achieving parallel contact and reliable abutment between the second portion 1122 and the second conductive sheet 122, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the plug-in module 11 and the plug-in socket 12. In addition, the raised arc-shaped design of the guide portion can effectively avoid the risk of scratching between the second portion 1122 and the second conductive sheet 122 during the sliding process along the second conductive sheet 122, and can improve the smoothness and stability of the sliding.

[0050] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 Multiple insertion slots 1211 are arranged along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction (e.g., Figure 1 The first conductive sheet 112 is arranged in the Y direction of the base body 121, and each insertion slot 1211 is provided with a clearance hole 1212 at the bottom; the second conductive sheet 122 is provided on the side of the base body 121 facing away from the insertion slot 1211 and protrudes from the clearance hole 1212 of the insertion slot 1211, and the first conductive sheet 112 is provided correspondingly to the second conductive sheet 122.

[0051] The arrangement direction of the multiple plug slots 1211 is the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. This allows the multiple plug modules 11 to be inserted into the multiple plug slots 1211 respectively along the first direction without interfering with each other. Furthermore, the multiple plug slots 1211 are distributed along the second direction, resulting in a neat and regular arrangement of the multiple plug slots 1211 and a good visual effect.

[0052] The second conductive plate 122 can be disposed on the side of the base 121 facing away from the insertion slot 1211, and protrude from the clearance hole 1212 of each insertion slot 1211, so that it can be connected to the insertion module 11 in each insertion slot 1211 through the same second conductive plate 122. The arrangement of providing one second conductive plate 122 for each insertion module 11 simplifies the structure of the power distribution device 10 and reduces assembly workload. See here. Figure 3 and Figure 5 The number of second conductive pieces 122 can be three, which are arranged in parallel on the side of the base 121 away from the plug slot 1211 and exposed from the clearance hole 1212 of each plug slot 1211 respectively. The three second conductive pieces 122 correspond to the live wire, neutral wire and ground wire respectively.

[0053] In addition, the plug-in module 11 and the plug-in socket 12 can support hot-swapping, so that plugging and unplugging between different plug-in sockets 12 and corresponding plug-in modules 11 will not affect the normal use of other plug-in modules 11. Each module is designed as an independent installation method that supports online hot-swapping, which can meet the new needs of customers to replace the required output module sockets online at any time without interrupting the power supply of the terminal equipment.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 4 and Figures 6 to 8 The power distribution device 10 may further include: a first anti-disengagement structure 13 and a second anti-disengagement structure 14, wherein the first anti-disengagement structure 13 is disposed on the housing 111 and the second anti-disengagement structure 14 is disposed on the base 121; wherein, when the plug-in module 11 is plugged into the plug-in slot 1211, the first anti-disengagement structure 13 and the second anti-disengagement structure 14 are connected to provide a force to the plug-in module 11 to prevent the plug-in module 11 from disengaging from the plug-in slot 1211.

[0055] In the first anti-detachment structure 13 and the second anti-detachment structure 14, the first anti-detachment structure 13 is disposed on the housing 111, and the second anti-detachment structure 14 is disposed on the insertion slot 1211 of the connector 12. When the connector module 11 is inserted into the insertion slot 1211 of the housing 121, the first anti-detachment structure 13 and the second anti-detachment structure 14 are positioned opposite each other and connected to each other, so that the connector module 11 cannot detach from the insertion slot 1211 of the housing 121 on its own. This improves the firmness of the connection between the connector module 11 and the connector 12, and the stability of the conductivity between the first conductive piece 112 of the connector module 11 and the second conductive piece 122 of the connector 12. In addition, when the connector module 11 is subjected to an external force away from the insertion slot 1211, the first anti-detachment structure 13 can separate from the second anti-detachment structure 14 without affecting the separation of the connector module 11 and the connector 12.

[0056] In some embodiments, one of the first anti-detachment structure 13 and the second anti-detachment structure 14 is a magnet, and the other can be a metal part that can be attracted to a magnet. When the plug module 11 is plugged into the plug slot 1211 of the plug socket 12, the first anti-detachment structure 13 and the second anti-detachment structure 14 attract each other to reduce the probability that the plug module 11 will detach from the plug slot 1211 on its own. When an external force is applied to the plug module 11 in a direction away from the plug slot 1211, the first anti-detachment structure 13 and the second anti-detachment structure 14 can separate from each other so that the plug module 11 can be separated from the plug socket 12.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 4 and Figures 6 to 8The first anti-detachment structure 13 may include a connecting groove 131 disposed on the periphery of the housing 111; the second anti-detachment structure 14 may include a control switch and a retractable connecting part 141 disposed on the inner wall of the insertion groove 1211. The control switch is disposed on the outside of the seat 121 and is used to control the retraction of the connecting part 141; wherein, when the insertion module 11 is inserted into the insertion groove 1211, the connecting part 141 is located in the connecting groove 131.

[0058] The connecting part 141 can be connected to the inner wall of the insertion groove 1211 via an elastic part such as a spring or rubber component. The connecting part 141 compresses the elastic part, causing it to retract, and the elastic part recovers, allowing it to extend. A control switch (such as a button) can pass through the outside of the seat 121 and connect to the connecting part 141, thereby controlling the compression of the elastic part by the connecting part 141. Of course, the extension and retraction of the connecting part can also be achieved in other ways. See also... Figure 3 As shown, the connecting part 141 may be provided with a slope 1411, which is opposite to the opening of the insertion slot 1211. In this way, during the process of inserting the insertion module 11 into the insertion slot 1211, the insertion module 11 can push the connecting part 141 back along the slope 1411 to make the insertion process smoother.

[0059] Here, during the process of inserting the plug module 11 into the plug slot 1211, the connecting part 141 can be pushed back and the elastic part can generate an elastic compression. After the connecting slot 131 of the plug module 11 is aligned with the connecting part 141, the connecting part 141 can be inserted into the connecting slot 131 under the elastic recovery of the elastic part and other structures, so as to provide the plug module 11 with a force that prevents the plug module 11 from disengaging from the plug slot 1211. Then, the connecting part 141 can be squeezed by the control switch to make the connecting part 141 retract and remove the force provided to the plug module 11 to prevent the plug module 11 from disengaging from the plug slot 1211, so that the plug module 11 can be separated from the plug socket 12.

[0060] In this embodiment, the connecting groove 131, the control switch, and the connecting part 141 can cooperate to achieve the anti-detachment setting of the plug module 11 inserted into the plug groove 1211. The control switch is located on the outside of the base 121 so that there is enough operating space on the outside of the plug base 12 to operate the control switch. The fully assembled installation can greatly improve production efficiency and ensure product quality control.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 6The power distribution device 10 may further include: a door 15, hinged to the opening of the insertion slot 1211, which can be rotated to close or open the opening of the insertion slot 1211; when the insertion module 11 is not inserted into the insertion slot 1211 and the door 15 closes the opening of the insertion slot 1211, the door 15 is opposite to the connecting part 141; when the insertion module 11 is inserted into the insertion slot 1211 and the door 15 opens the opening of the insertion slot 1211, the door 15 is located inside the insertion slot 1211.

[0062] The storage door 15 can be connected to the inner wall of the insertion groove 1211 through hinges such as pivots and hinges, so that the storage door 15 can be rotated to close the opening of the insertion groove 1211, or rotated to open the opening of the insertion groove 1211. The storage door 15 may include: a first door body 151 and a second door body 152. The first door body 151 is rotatably connected to one side of the opening of the insertion groove 1211, and the second door body 152 is rotatably connected to the other side of the opening of the insertion groove 1211. When both the first door body 151 and the second door body 152 are rotated to the opening, the first door body 151 and the second door body 152 are spliced ​​together to close the opening of the insertion groove 1211.

[0063] When the plug-in module 11 is not inserted into the plug-in slot 1211 and the door 15 closes the opening of the plug-in slot 1211, the door 15 faces the connecting part 141. Thus, if the door 15 rotates into the plug-in slot 1211 on its own, it is limited by the connecting part 1411 and cannot rotate further. When the plug-in module 11 is subjected to an external force to push the door 15 to rotate into the plug-in slot 1211, the force on the door 15 is large enough to push the connecting part 141 back. When the plug-in module 11 is inserted into the plug-in slot 1211 and the door 15 opens the opening of the plug-in slot 1211, the door 15 is located within the plug-in slot 1211, allowing for physical protection of the door 15 by the plug-in socket 12 and reducing the occupancy of the external space of the power distribution device 10.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the plug-in module 11 is separated from the plug-in socket 12, the opening of the plug-in slot 1211 can be closed by the door 15 to reduce the probability of foreign objects such as dust and impurities entering the plug-in slot 1211 through the opening. This can reduce the probability of the plug-in module 11 getting stuck in the plug-in slot 1211 of the plug-in socket 12 and improve the aesthetics of the plug-in socket 12 when the plug-in module 11 is not inserted.

[0065] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 8 The power distribution device 10 may further include: a reset structure 16, which is connected to the housing 111 and provides a force to the housing 111 in the direction of driving it away from the plug slot 1211 as the plug module 11 moves away from the plug slot 1211.

[0066] The reset structure 16 can be disposed on the periphery of the plug-in module 11 along the first direction, on the second side 1112 of the plug-in module 11 along the first direction, or at other locations. During the process of the plug-in module 11 separating from the plug-in slot 1211, the reset structure 16 can provide a force to the plug-in module 11 in the same direction as the movement direction of the plug-in module 11, so as to reduce the force applied to the plug-in module 11 that causes the plug-in module 11 to move away from the plug-in slot 1211, thereby achieving a more effortless operation.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 8 The reset structure 16 may include a first elastic element 161 and a second elastic element 162. Both the first elastic element 161 and the second elastic element 162 are connected to the plug-in module 11 and both generate compression during the process of the plug-in module 11 being plugged into the plug-in slot 1211.

[0068] The first elastic element 161 can be an elastic structure such as a spring or a rubber column; the second elastic element 162 can be an elastic structure such as a spring or a rubber column; the structures of the first elastic element 161 and the second elastic element 162 can be the same or different.

[0069] See one example. Figure 4 and Figure 8The first elastic element 161 and the second elastic element 162 are both connected to the second side 1112 of the plug-in module 11. When the plug-in module 11 is subjected to a force along the first direction and is inserted into the plug-in groove 1211, the first elastic element 161 and the second elastic element 162 simultaneously generate compression, and the included angle between the second part 1122 and the first part 1121 gradually decreases. When the second part 1122 and the first part 1121 are at a right angle and the second part 1122 is parallel to and abuts against the second conductive sheet 122, the connecting part 141 extends out and is located in the connecting groove 131, so that the plug-in module... 11 can be locked in the insertion slot 1211 to complete the assembly of the insertion module 11 to the insertion socket 12, and at this time the first elastic member 161 and the second elastic member 162 are held in a compressed state; thus, after operating the control switch (such as pressing the button), the connecting part 141 retracts to release the locking of the insertion module 11 and the insertion slot 1211, thereby allowing the first elastic member 161 and the second elastic member 162 to restore their elastic deformation and push the insertion module 11 out of the insertion slot 1211, thereby making the process of separating the insertion module 11 from the insertion slot 1211 of the insertion socket 12 easier. Here, there can be multiple first elastic elements 161 and multiple second elastic elements 162, and all elastic elements (including first elastic elements 161 and second elastic elements 162) can be evenly distributed. For example, the second side 1112 is rectangular, with two first elastic elements 161 and two second elastic elements 162, and the two first elastic elements 161 and the two second elastic elements 162 are set at the four right angles of the rectangle.

[0070] In this embodiment, the reset structure 16 may include a first elastic element 161 and a second elastic element 162. The combination of the first elastic element 161 and the second elastic element 162 can realize a more effortless separation operation between the plug-in module 11 and the plug-in slot 1211. The first elastic element 161 and the second elastic element 162 can be connected to two positions of the plug-in module 11, so that the process of the plug-in module 11 being inserted into the plug-in slot 1211 along the first direction and the process of moving away from the plug-in slot 1211 in the opposite direction to the first direction are smoother.

[0071] In some embodiments, a first indicator light may be provided on the outside of the plug-in socket 12. The first indicator light is used to indicate whether all the second conductive plates 122 of the power distribution device 10 are energized. When energized, after the copper plate of the electrical device is connected to the first conductive plate 112, the power distribution device 10 can supply power to the electrical device. A second indicator light may also be provided on the outside of the plug-in module 11. The second indicator light is used to indicate whether the first conductive plate 112 is energized. When the second conductive plate 122 is energized and the second part 1122 of the first conductive plate 112 is parallel to and abuts against the second conductive plate 122, the first conductive plate 112 is energized.
