    摘要: An intelligent power connecting device includes two connecting units to be connected and on-off units. The connecting units have conductor parts, insulation parts, and trigger units; the on-off units are electrically connected with the trigger units; delay units can be connected in series between the on-off units and the trigger units. A short circuit or electric leakage caused by instant electric conduction of the connector in a connecting process can be avoided. Intelligent control is achieved and the short circuit or electric leakage phenomenon caused by instant electric conduction is prevented during connection in the complex environment; electrified positions of the connector are fully isolated from the external environment and the connector is intelligently controlled; the insulation parts of the connector can achieve sealing isolation, the connected positions are effectively isolated from the complex external environment, and thus the two connecting units can be intelligently connected in the complex environment.

    摘要: An electrical connector includes a male electrical plug, a female socket, a housing, and a control system. The male electrical plug, which is supplied with power, is electrically connected to the female socket. The housing contains the male electrical plug, the female socket, and a control system. The control system includes a temperature sensor and a transceiver with the temperature sensor sensing a temperature at a location within the housing and the transceiver transmitting a signal representative of the temperature to an alarm device remotely located from the electrical connector. The electrical connector can include one or more switches that are remotely controllable by the alarm device to interrupt the electrical connection between the male plug and the female socket.

    摘要: A ground overcurrent control system includes ground circuit with a first section and a second section. The first section is electrically connected to a ground member of an electrical connector and the second section is electrically connected to a ground reference. A switch element is positioned between the first section of the ground circuit and the second section of the ground circuit. A controller is configured to determine the current within the ground circuit while current is passing through the switch element and, upon the current exceeding a current threshold, the switch element is modified to an open condition. Upon determining that the voltage between the first section of the ground circuit and the ground reference is less than a voltage threshold, a command is generated to modify the switch element back to a closed condition.

    摘要: The present application provides an intelligent socket control system for preventing children from electric shock, which includes: personnel monitoring module, configured to continuously monitor if there is a person in the monitored area; information determining module, configured to determine the age of a person in the monitoring area when it is monitored the person in the monitoring area; socket control module, configured to control the power-on indicator of the socket in the monitoring area turn off and control the jack baffle of the socket in the monitoring area close according to the age of the person in the monitoring area, wherein, when the jack baffle of the socket is closed, the jack of the socket cannot be inserted. In this way, when the person in the monitoring area is considered as a child because of his/her age, the power-on indicator of the outlet in the control monitoring area is controlled to turn off, preventing the indicator light on the socket from attracting the child to touch the card, to prevent the child from getting an electric shock when playing the socket. At the same time, the jack baffle of the socket in the monitoring area is controlled to close, to prevent the child from inserting a finger or a metal object into the jack of the socket to protect the safety of the child and prevent the child from operating the socket to cause harm to the child.
