Abstract
A combination receptacle includes a first universal serial bus (USB) port having a first type, a second USB port having a second type, a shutter structured to have a first state to allow access to the first USB port and block access to the second USB port and a second state to block access to the first USB port and allow access to the second USB port, and circuitry structured to control and provide power to the first and second USB ports.
Claims21
A combination receptacle comprising:
- a first universal serial bus (USB) port having a first type;
- a second USB port having a second type;
- a shutter structured to have a first state to allow access to the first USB port and block access to the second USB port and a second state to block access to the first USB port and allow access to the second USB port;
- circuitry structured to control and provide power to the first and second USB ports,
- wherein the first USB port is a USB Type-C power delivery (PD) port and the second USB port is a USB Type-C non-PD port, and
- wherein the circuitry is structured to provide a power profile including 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, and 20V to the first USB port and to provide power at 5V to the second USB port.
A combination receptacle comprising:
- a first USB port;
- a second USB port;
- a third USB port;
- a shutter structured to have a first state to allow access to the first USB port and block access to the second and third USB ports and a second state to block access to the first USB port and allow access to the second and third USB ports;
- circuitry structured to control and provide power to the first, second, and third USB ports, and
- wherein the first USB port is a PD port and the second USB port is a USB non-PD port,
- wherein the third USB port has the same type as the second USB port,
- wherein the circuitry is structured to provide up to a maximum of 45 W of power to the first USB port and to provide up to a maximum of 30 W of power shared between the second and third USB ports.
A combination receptacle comprising:
- a first USB port having a first type;
- a second USB port having a second type;
- a shutter structured to have a first state to allow access to the first USB port and block access to the second USB port and a second state to block access to the first USB port and allow access to the second USB port;
- circuitry structured to control and provide power to the first and second USB ports, and
- wherein the circuitry includes a power supply structured to convert utility power for use by the first and second USB ports, and
- wherein the power supply is structured to provide up to 45 W of power for use by the first and second USB ports.
A combination receptacle comprising:
- a first USB port;
- a second USB port;
- circuitry structured to control and provide power to the first and second USB ports;
- and
- a temperature sensor structured to sense temperature in the receptacle,
- wherein the circuitry is structured to provide a first amount of the power to the first and second USB ports when the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor is below a predetermined threshold temperature and to provide a second amount of power to the first and second USB ports when the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor is at or above the predetermined threshold temperature, and
- wherein the second amount of power is less than the first amount of power.
