Abstract
A protection device for protecting a power cable connector includes one sensor, a separation mechanism and a processing unit. The sensor is for sensing a relative distance and a moving speed of an external object. The separation mechanism is connected to the power cable connector in a separable manner. The processing unit is electrically connected to the sensor for controlling the separation mechanism to separate from the power cable connector as the sensor senses that the relative distance is less than a separation distance and the moving speed is not zero.
Claims20
A protection device for protecting a power cable connector, the protection device comprising:
- a sensor for sensing a relative distance and a moving speed of an external object;
- a separation mechanism detachably connected to the power cable connector;
- and
- a processing unit electrically connected to the sensor for controlling the separation mechanism to separate from the power cable connector as the sensor senses that the relative distance is smaller than a separation distance and the moving speed is not equal to zero.
A power supply comprising:
- a power cable connector;
- a power cable connected to the power cable connector;
- and
- a main body, the main body comprising:
- a supply connector detachably connected to the power cable connector;
- a separation mechanism;
- a sensor for sensing a relative distance and a moving speed of an external object;
- and
- a processing unit electrically connected to the sensor for controlling the separation mechanism to separate the power cable connector from the supply connector as the sensor senses that the relative distance is smaller than a separation distance and the moving speed is not equal to zero.
An electronic system comprising:
- an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a display unit;
- and
- a power supply, the power supply comprising:
- a power cable connector;
- a power cable connected to the power cable connector;
- and
- a main body, the main body comprising:
- a supply connector detachably connected to the power cable connector;
- a separation mechanism detachably connected to the power cable connector;
- a sensor for sensing a relative distance and a moving speed of an external object;
- and
- a processing unit electrically connected to the sensor for controlling the separation mechanism so that the separation drives the power cable connector to separate from the supply connector as the sensor senses that the relative distance is smaller than a separation distance and the moving speed is not equal to zero.
