Abstract

A power adapter includes a conductive sheet, a first electrode group, and a second electrode group. The first electrode group includes a first pin and a first elastic arm. The first elastic arm is continuously electrically connected to the first pin. The second electrode group includes a second pin and a second elastic arm. The second elastic arm is continuously electrically connected to the second pin. The first pin and at least a part of the second elastic arm are located on one side of the conductive sheet. The first elastic arm and at least a part of the second pin are located on another side of the conductive sheet. The first elastic arm and the second elastic arm are configured to deform under force to contact the conductive sheet.

Claims (35)

1 . A power adapter, comprising:

a conductive sheet;

a first electrode group comprising a first pin and a first elastic arm, the first elastic arm being continuously electrically connected to the first pin;

a second electrode group comprising a second pin and a second elastic arm, the second elastic arm being continuously electrically connected to the second pin; and

an outer housing comprising a first slot and a second slot;

wherein the first pin and at least a part of the second elastic arm are located on one side of the conductive sheet, and the first elastic arm and at least a part of the second pin are located on another side of the conductive sheet,

wherein the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm are configured to deform under force to contact the conductive sheet,

wherein the first pin passes through the outer housing and enters the first slot, and

wherein the second pin passes through the outer housing and enters the second slot.

2 . The power adapter of claim 1 , wherein:

the first elastic arm is connected with a first protruding structure,

the second elastic arm is connected with a second protruding structure,

the first protruding structure is at least partially located within the second slot, and

the second protruding structure is at least partially located within the first slot.

3 . The power adapter of claim 2 , wherein the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm are electrical conductors, and the first protruding structure and the second protruding structure are electrical insulators.

4 . The power adapter of claim 3 , wherein the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm are entirely located inside the outer housing and are not exposed from the first slot or the second slot.

5 . The power adapter of claim 4 , wherein the outer housing comprises an upper housing and a lower housing connected to each other, an inner surface of the lower housing is provided with a first abutting arm and a second abutting arm, the first abutting arm is provided with the first protruding structure, and the second abutting arm is provided with the second protruding structure.

6 . The power adapter of claim 2 , wherein the first protruding structure has a first inclined surface substantially facing an opening of the second slot, and the second protruding structure has a second inclined surface substantially facing an opening of the first slot.

7 . The power adapter of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode group and the second electrode group are U-shaped.

8 . The power adapter of claim 1 , wherein the conductive sheet is T-shaped.

9 . A power adapter, comprising:

an outer housing comprising a first slot and a second slot;

a first pin fixedly disposed in the first slot;

a second pin fixedly disposed in the second slot;

a first elastic arm module, at least a part of the first elastic arm module being continuously electrically connected to the first pin;

a second elastic arm module, at least a part of the second elastic arm module being continuously electrically connected to the second pin; and

a conductive sheet;

wherein, when used, the power adapter has a first state and a second state;

in the first state, only one of the first elastic arm module and the second elastic arm module is pressed into the outer housing, so that one of the first pin and the second pin is not electrically connected to the conductive sheet, and

in the second state, the first elastic arm module and the second elastic arm module are both pressed into the outer housing, so that the first pin and the second pin are electrically connected to the conductive sheet.

10 . The power adapter of claim 9 , wherein the first elastic arm module comprises a first elastic arm that is conductive, the first elastic arm is continuously electrically connected to the first pin, the second elastic arm module comprises a second elastic arm which is conductive, and the second elastic arm is continuously electrically connected to the second pin.

11 . The power adapter of claim 10 , wherein the outer housing comprises an upper housing and a lower housing connected to each other, the upper housing is provided with the first slot and the second slot, the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm are entirely located inside the outer housing in the first state or the second state and do not pass into the first slot or the second slot.

12 . The power adapter of claim 10 , wherein the first elastic arm module further comprises a first abutting arm that is electrically insulating, the first abutting arm passes into the second slot, the second elastic arm module further comprises a second abutting arm that is electrically insulating, and the second abutting arm passes into the first slot.

13 . The power adapter of claim 12 , wherein the lower housing, the first abutting arm, and the second abutting arm are one-pieced formed.

14 . The power adapter of claim 10 , wherein each of the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm is provided with a horizontal extension portion, and the conductive sheet is suspended above the horizontal extension portions of the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm.
