  • Publication number: 20230283070
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for photovoltaic DC direct-fed power generation based on controllable power supply. According to the present invention, the photovoltaic cells are directly connected to the DC microgrid, and the DC bus voltage is flexibly regulated by the controllable power supply in the DC microgrid to enable the photovoltaic cells to operate at the maximum power, thus eliminating the need for a DC interface converter when the photovoltaic cells are connected to the DC bus and reducing the cost and size of the distributed PV power generation system.

  • Patent number: 11616323
    Abstract: An adaptor is provided for connecting an electrical cable with an electrical connector. The adaptor includes a housing and an insert which are coaxially arranged and connected for free rotation relative to each other. The outer surface of the insert contains an annular recess and at least one pin is arranged on an inner surface of the housing. When a portion of the insert including the recess is arranged within a portion of the housing, the pin is inserted into the recess to connect the insert with the housing while permitting rotation therebetween. The free rotation prevent torque from being transmitted to an electrical cable connected with the insert.

  • Publication number: 20230045173
    Abstract: A push-pull connector for a panel containing at least one opening corresponding with at least one circuit board includes a housing with a spring hook and a shell connected therewith. The housing has an outer surface, at least one circuit board connector arranged at a first open end thereof, and a second end configured to receive an electrical cable for connection with at least one circuit board connector. The spring hook is connected with the housing outer surface and is operable between a hold position where the housing is connected with the panel at the at least one panel opening and a release position wherein the housing is disconnected from the panel. The shell is slidably connected with the housing outer surface for displacement between a release position and a hold position, wherein the shell or housing are moved toward and away from each other to operate the spring hook toward the release and hold position, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20230040853
    Abstract: A rotary plug electrical connector includes a plug and a socket, both of which include power contacts and signal contacts. The plug is rotatable within the socket between operable and inoperable positions. The power contacts of the socket include opposed surfaces which are engaged by resilient blade power contacts of the plug. The signal contact of the socket preferably includes a pair of contacts, and the signal contact of the plug preferably is a bridge contact that engages the socket signal contacts in the operable position and disengages the socket signal contacts in the inoperable position. When the signal contacts are disengaged, no power is transferred by the connector.
