Power Converter With Integrated Telescoping Data Line
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing power source converters require an additional charging line for data transmission, which is often forgotten during travel, causing inconvenience and occupying extra space.
Innovation Solution
A power source converter with a data telescoping line is designed, where the data line is integrated within the converter, allowing for stable connection and adaptation to different pin assemblies, eliminating the need for an extra charging line.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an additional charging line is provided for data transmission, then data connection functionality is achieved, but device portability and convenience deteriorate due to extra space requirements and forgetfulness during travel
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the data transmission function with the power source converter by integrating a data line directly into the converter body. The data line is routed through the converter housing and connected to the circuit board, allowing simultaneous power conversion and data transmission through a single integrated device rather than requiring separate charging cables.
Solution Approach 2:
The power source converter is designed to perform multiple functions: voltage conversion for different plug standards (US, EU, UK, AU) and data transmission. The device incorporates both power conversion components and data communication capabilities, enabling it to serve as both a power adapter and a data cable, thus eliminating the need for additional charging lines.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple pin assemblies are provided for different standards, then adaptability to different sockets is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a dynamic pin selection mechanism where only the required pin assembly is extended or activated based on the target socket type. The converter can switch between different pin configurations (US, EU, UK, AU standards) by mechanically extending the appropriate pins, rather than having all pins permanently exposed. This reduces visual and operational complexity while maintaining full adaptability.
