US 2015/0027863 A1 · ELECTRIC ARC ELIMINATING APPARATUS

Abstract

An electric arc eliminating apparatus includes a switch member, an interface, a power supply circuit and a connector. The switch member includes a contacting unit and a triggering unit. The power supply circuit is electrically coupled to the interface via the contacting unit. When the connector is inserted into the interface but does not completely connect with the interface, the contacting unit is in an open state, and the power supply circuit cannot output electrical power to the connector via the interface. When the connector is inserted into the interface and completely connected with the interface, the connector resists against the triggering unit and moves the triggering unit toward the contacting unit, the contacting unit is in a closed state, and the power supply circuit provides electrical power to the connector via the interface.

Dependent claims

An electric arc eliminating apparatus, comprising:

a switch member having a contacting unit and a triggering unit;
an interface;
a power supply circuit electrically coupled to the interface via the contacting unit;
and
a connector;
wherein when the connector is partially inserted into the interface so as not to completely connect with the interface, the contacting unit is in an open state, and the power supply circuit cannot output electrical power to the connector via the interface;
and when the connector is fully inserted into the interface so as to completely connect with the interface, the connector resists against the triggering unit moving the triggering unit toward the contacting unit and into a closed state allowing the power supply circuit to provide electrical power to the connector via the interface.
