In an embodiment, the mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer or a laptop.

A power adapter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include the power interface mentioned above.

In the following, a power interface 100 may be will be described in embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to FIGS. 1-11. It should be understood that, the power interface 100 may include an interface configured for charging or data transmission, and may be arranged in a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop, or any other suitable mobile terminal having a rechargeable function. The power interface 100 may be electrically connected to a corresponding power adapter to achieve a communication of electrical signals and data signals.

Referring to FIGS. 1-11, the power interface 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a housing 1, a connection body 2, and a partition piece 23.

More specifically, the connection body 2 may be arranged in the housing 1. The connection body 2 may be configured to be connected to a circuit board 25, and may include at least one power-pin assembly 21. In this embodiment, each power-pin assembly 21 may include a pair of power pins 211 spaced apart from each other in a first direction, that is, an up-down direction (the up-down direction as shown in FIG. 1). The partition piece 23 may be sandwiched between the two power pins 211. The partition piece 23 may extend along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and include a tail end connected to the circuit board 25 and a head end 23a away from the circuit board 25 and opposite to the tail end 23b in the second direction. The partition piece 23 may have a head end 23a close to a front end of the power pin 211 (the front end as shown in FIG. 1), a tail end 23b close to a rear end of the power pin 211 (the rear end as shown in FIG. 1), and a connection portion 23c connected between the head end 23a and the tail end 23b. More specifically, the tail end 23b may be the one connected to the circuit board 25, and the head end 23a may be the one away from the circuit board 25 and opposite to the tail end 2. At least one of the head end 23a and the tail end 23b may define a through hole 231, and a reinforcing rib 232 may be arranged in the through hole 231. The partition piece 23 may be configured to support the power pins 211. Therefore, it is possible to avoid poor contact between a connecting line and the power interface 100 caused by the movement of the pair of power pins 211 which are spaced apart from each other in the up-down direction towards each other when the connection line is inserted into the power interface. In this way, it is possible to ensure the reliability of the connection between the connection line and the power interface 100.

In addition, the partition piece 23 defines the through hole 231, so as to save the material of the partition piece 23. The reinforcing rib 232 arranged in the through hole 231 can improve the structural strength of the partition piece 23 by arranging.

It should be noted that, the power interface 100 may be arranged on a mobile terminal, and a battery can be arranged inside the mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, etc.). The battery may be charged by an external power source via the power interface 100.

In the power interface 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, by arranging the partition piece 23 between the pair of power pins 211 which are spaced apart from each other in the up-down direction, it is possible to support the power pins 211, and avoid poor contact between a connecting line and the power interface 100 caused by the movement of the pair of power pins 211 which are spaced apart from each other in the up-down direction towards each other when the connection line is inserted into the power interface. In this way, it is possible to ensure the reliability of the connection between the connection line and the power interface 100. In addition, the partition piece 23 defines the through hole 231 and the reinforcing rib 232 arranged in the through hole 231 could not only save the material of the partition piece 23, but also improve the structural strength of the partition piece 23.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, at least one power pin 211 may include an expanded portion 2111. The expanded portion 2111 may have a cross-sectional area larger than that of a data pin 22 of the connection body 2. In this way, the current load of the power pins 211 may be increased, and the transmission speed of the current may be improve. In this way, the power interface 100 may have a fast charging function, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the battery.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11, the cross-sectional area of the expanded portion 2111 may be defined as S, and S≥0.09805 mm². It has been experimentally verified that when S≥0.09805 mm², the current load of the power pins 211 may be at least 10 A. Therefore, the charging efficiency can be improved by increasing the current load of the power pins 211. After further tests, when S=0.13125 mm², the current load of the power pins 211 may be 12 A or more, which can improve charging efficiency.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11, a thickness of the power pin 211 may be defined as D, and 0.1 mm≤D≤0.3 mm. It has been experimentally verified that when 0.1 mm≤D≤0.3 mm, the current load of the power pins 211 is at least 10 A. In this way, it is possible to improve the charging efficiency by increasing the current load of the power pins 211. After further tests, when D=0.25 mm, the current load of the power pins 211 may be greatly increased, and the current load of the power pins 211 is 12 A or more, thereby improving the charging efficiency.

Referring to FIGS. 9-11, each power pin 211 may have a contact face configured to be electrically connected to the power adapter. In a width direction of the power pin 211 (i.e. the left-right direction shown in FIG. 6), a width of the contact face may be defined as W, which meets 0.24 mm≤W≤0.32 mm. It has been experimentally verified that when 0.24 mm≤W≤0.32 mm, the current load of the power pin 211 is at least 10 A. In this way, it is possible to improve the charging efficiency by increasing the current load of the power pins 211. After further tests, when W=0.25 mm, the current load of the power pin 211 may be greatly increased, and the current load of the power pins 211 is 12 A or more, thereby improving the charging efficiency.

In the power interface 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, by spacing apart the tail end 23b of the partition piece 23 from the housing 1 and connecting the tail end 23b of the partition piece 23 to the connection body 2, it is possible to avoid producing interference with antenna signals, and thus the quality and the speed of signal transmission may be improved. In addition, both the tail end 23b and the housing 1 may be connected to the connection body 2. In this way, the partition piece 23, the housing 1, and the connection body 2 may be connected to each other, thereby improving the reliability of the connection among the partition piece 23, the housing 1, and the connection body 2.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, a first pad 251 and a second pad 252 spaced apart from each other may be arranged on the circuit board 25. The housing 1 may be welded on the first pad 251, and the tail end 23b may be welded on the second pad 252. In this way, the housing 1 and the partition piece 23 may be connected to the circuit board 25, thereby firmly fixing the connection body 2 to the circuit board 25 and preventing the power pins 211 of the connection body 2 from falling off the circuit board 25, and thus the reliability of the operation of the power interface 100 may be ensured.

More specifically, the housing 1 may include a connected end 12 configured to connected to the circuit board 25. The connected end 12 may be substantially parallel to the tail end 23b of the partition piece 23, and spaced apart from the tail end 23b. The connected end 12 may be welded on the first pad 251. Furthermore, an end of each of the pair of power pins 211 may be connected to the circuit board 25.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 2, the expanded portion 2111 may be located in the middle of the power pin 211. In this way, the arrangement of the power pins 211 and the data pins 22 may be optimized, and the space of the power interface 100 may be fully utilized. Therefore, the compactness and the rationality of the configuration of the power interface 100 may be improved.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, a recess 2112 may be defined in the expanded portion 2111 at a position that is close to the front end of the power pin 211. It should be noted that, when the power interface 100 performs the fast charging function, the power pin 211 with the expanded portion 2111 may be used to carry a large charging current. When the power interface 100 performs the normal charging function, the recess 2112 defined in the expanded portion 2111 may prevent the power pin 211 from getting into contact with a corresponding pin of a power adapter. In this way, the power interface 100 in this embodiment may be applied to different power adapters. For example, when the power interface 100 performs the fast charging function, the power interface 100 may be electrically connected to a corresponding power adapter with the fast charging function. When the power interface 100 performs the normal charging function, the power interface 100 may be electrically connected to a corresponding normal power adapter. It should be noted that, the fast charging function herein may refer to a charging state in which the charging current is greater than or equal to 2.5 A, and the normal charging may refer to a charging state in which the charging current is less than 2.5 A.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 and 6, the power interface 100 may further include an encapsulation member 24, and the partition piece 23 and the connection body 2 may be wrapped by the encapsulation member 24, such that the partition piece 23 may be insulated from the connection body 2 by the encapsulation member 24. More specifically, the partition piece 23 may be separated from the pair of power pins 211, that is to say, a gap may be formed between the partition piece 23 and the pair of power pins 211, at least parts of the encapsulation member 24 may be disposed between the partition piece 23 and each of the pair of power pins 211.

The encapsulation member 24 may be made of electrically insulative and heat-conductive material. The encapsulation member 24 may be configured to fix the partition piece 23, the power-pin assembly 21 and the data pins 22 of the connection body 2, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the connection line of the power adapter and the power interface 100. The encapsulation member 24 may include a first encapsulation portion 241 and a second encapsulation portion 242 connected to first encapsulation portion 241. More specifically, the first encapsulation portion 241 may be embedded into the second encapsulation portion 242. The first encapsulation portion 241 and the second encapsulation portion 242 may match with and cooperate with each other. More specifically, the second encapsulation portion 242 may define a plurality of receiving groove 2421, and a plurality of embedding protrusions 2411 may be arranged on the first encapsulation portion 241. The plurality of receiving grooves 2421 may be in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of embedding protrusions 2411, and cooperate with the plurality of embedding protrusions 2411. In this way, the reliability of the connection between the first encapsulation portion 241 and the second encapsulation portion 242 may be improved.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, the reinforcing rib 232 may include a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, both the first end and the second end may be connected to the partition piece, and an extending direction from the first end to the second end may be perpendicular to the first and second direction, that is, the left-right direction. In this way, the structural strength of the partition piece 23 may be enhanced. Of course, the present disclosure may not be limited thereto. For example, an extending direction from the first end to the second end of the reinforcing rib 232 may be the second direction, that is, the front-rear direction, or an extending direction from the first end to the second end of the reinforcing rib 232 may be at an angle to the left-right direction, as long as the structural strength of the partition piece 23 may be enhanced.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, a reinforcing protrusion 233 that protrudes away from the connection body 2 may be arranged at the head end 23a. More specifically, the reinforcing protrusion 233 may protrude from an outer face of the head end 23a in a direction away from a center of the power interface 100. The reinforcing protrusion 233 may increase area of the contact face between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24, enhance the adhesion between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24, and make the connection between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24 more stable. In this way, the partition piece 23 and the connection body 2 may be better fixed together by the encapsulation member 24.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, herein, the outer face may include a side wall face 230a and a front end face 230b. Therefore, the reinforcing protrusion 233 may be located on at least one of a side wall face 230a and a front end face 230b of the head end 23a. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 3, the front end face of the head end 23a may be provided with the reinforcing protrusion 233, and the left-side wall face of the head end 23a may be also provided with the reinforcing protrusion 233. In this way, it is possible to increase the contact face between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24, enhance the adhesion between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24, and make the connection between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24 more stable. In this way, the partition piece 23 and the connection body 2 may be better fixed together by the encapsulation member 24.

As shown in FIG. 3, in order to increase the flexibility of the partition piece 23, a notch 234 may be defined in the connection portion 23c of the partition piece 23. The notch 234 in some embodiments may be defined in the middle of the partition piece 23. In this way, when the partition piece 23 is shifted upwardly or downwardly, the partition piece 23 may quickly return back to the original position due to the notch 234, which facilitates the connection between the connection line of the power adapter and the power interface 100 next time.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, a crimping 235 may be arranged at the tail end 23b, and the crimping 235 may be bent in a direction towards one of the pair of power pins 211. Therefore, one of the pair of power pins 211 may be configured to be wrapped by the crimping 235. On one hand, the crimping 235 may increase the contact face between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24, enhance the adhesion between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24, and make the connection between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24 more stable, thereby better fixing the partition piece 23 and the connection body 2 together by the encapsulation member 24. On the other hand, the crimping 235 may provide a protection to the power pin 211.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the tail end 23b may also define a through hole 231. In this way, it is possible to further save the material of the partition piece 23. Of course, in order to ensure the structural strength of the partition piece 23, a reinforcing rib 232 may also be arranged in the through hole 231.

In the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, by spacing apart the tail end 23b of the partition piece 23 from the housing 1 and connecting the tail end 23b of the partition piece 23 to the connection body 2, it is possible to avoid producing interference with antenna signals, and thus the quality and the speed of signal transmission may be improved. In addition, both the tail end 23b and the housing 1 may be connected to the connection body 2. In this way, the partition piece 23, the housing 1, and the connection body 2 may be connected to each other, thereby improving the reliability of the connection among the partition piece 23, the housing 1, and the connection body 2.

In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, a first pad 251 and a second pad 252 spaced apart from each other may be arranged on the circuit board 25. The housing 1 may be welded on the first pad 251, and the tail end 23b may be welded on the second pad 252. In this way, the housing 1 and the partition piece 23 may be connected to the circuit board 25, thereby firmly fixing the connection body 2 to the circuit board 25 and preventing the power-pin assembly 21 of the connection body 2 from separating from the circuit board 25, and thus the reliability of the operation of the power interface 100 may be ensured.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8, a first stopping plate 11 may be arranged in the housing 1. An engaging flange 2422 may be arranged on the second encapsulation portion 242 of the encapsulation member 24. The power interface 100 may further include a second stopping plate 3. In this case, the second stopping plate 3 may be arranged in the housing 1, connected to the housing 1, and spaced apart from the first stopping plate 11. The engaging flange 2422 may be sandwiched between the first stopping plate 11 and the second stopping plate 3. In this way, the encapsulation member 24 together with the connection body 2 wrapped by the encapsulation member 24 may be fixed in the housing 1 by the first stopping plate 11 and the second stopping plate 3, and the connection body 2 may be prevented from moving in the up-down direction of the housing 1 to prevent the connection body 2 from being separated from the housing 1. Therefore, when the connection line of the power adapter is inserted into the power interface 100, the reliability of the connection between the connection line and the power interface 100 may be improved.

In some embodiments, the housing 1 and the second stopping plate 3 may be made of metal, and the second stopping plate 3 may be welded on the housing 1. The housing 1 and the second stopping plate 3 made of metal may have a great structural strength. In this way, it is possible to enhance the structural strength of the power interface 100, and the power interface 100 may be prevented from being deformed after a long time of use or after frequent insertion and removal. In addition, since the inner space of the housing 1 is limited, when the second stopping plate 3 is welded on the housing 1, it is possible to simplify the processing and assembling processes, shorten manufacturing cycles, and reduce the manufacturing cost.

In some embodiments, the second stopping plate 3 may be made of stainless steel. In this way, it is possible to avoid the second stopping plate 3 from rusting, and thus the poor contact of the connection body 2 with the power adapter due to the rusting of the second stopping plate 3 may be prevented from occurring. Therefore, the reliability of the operation of the power interface 100 may be ensured.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 8, a gap 31 may be defined between the second stopping plate 3 and the housing 1, and an adhesive layer may be arranged in the gap 31. On one hand, the adhesive layer may further bond the second stopping plate 3 with the housing 1, to improve the reliability of the connection between the second stopping plate 3 and the housing 1. On the other hand, the adhesive layer may have a waterproof function, that is, the adhesive layer may prevent liquid from entering the power interface 100 via an open end of the power interface 100 and damaging of the circuit board 25 inside the power interface 100, and the like, thereby ensuring the reliability of the power interface 100.

More specifically, the adhesive layer may be a dispensing layer. Dispensing is a process in which electronic glue, oil or other liquid may be applied to a product by means of painting, potting, or dripping, to allow the product to be adhesive, potted, insulated, fixed, and have a smooth face. On one hand, the dispensing layer may further bond the second stopping plate 3 with the housing 1 to improve the reliability of the connection between the second stopping plate 3 and the housing 1. On the other hand, the dispensing layer may have a waterproof function, that is, the dispensing layer may prevent liquid from entering the power interface 100 via an open end of the power interface 100 and damaging of the circuit board 25 inside the power interface 100, and the like, thereby ensuring the reliability of the power interface 100.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 4-7, the second stopping plate 3 may extend in a circumferential direction of the encapsulation member 24. On one hand, it is possible to improve the reliability of the connection between the second stopping plate 3 and the housing 1; on the other hand, it is also possible to enhance the fixing of the encapsulation member 24 and the connection body 2 by the second stopping plate 3. In this way it is possible to ensure that the encapsulation member 24 and the connection body 2 is securely fixed in the housing 1, and improve the reliability of the connection between a power line of the power adapter and the power interface 100.

In some embodiments, a plurality of second stopping plates 3 may be provided, thereby facilitating the processing of the second stopping plate 3. It should be noted that, the plurality of second stopping plates 3 may be spaced apart from each other along the circumferential direction of the housing 1, and the plurality of second stopping plates 3 may also form an annular stopping plate. The plurality of second stopping plates 3 may be respectively connected to the housing 1, in order to fix the connection body 2.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 4-7, the first stopping plate 11 may also extend in the circumferential direction of the encapsulation member 24. In this way, it is possible to enhance the fixing of the encapsulation member 24 and the connection body 2 by the first stopping plate 11. In other embodiments, a stopping protrusion 111 may be arranged on a sidewall of the first stopping plate 11 that faces towards the second stopping plate 3. An engaging groove 2423 may be defined in the engaging flange 2422. The stopping protrusion 111 may be inserted in the engaging groove 2423 and engaged with the engaging flange 2422. In this way, the first stopping plate 11 and the second stopping plate 3 may prevent the connection body 2 from moving in the up-down direction in the housing 1, and may also prevent the connection body 2 from shaking in the housing 1 by the cooperation between the engaging flange 2422 and the stopping protrusion 111, and thus it is possible to ensure the reliability of the operation of the power interface 100.

Referring to FIGS. 1-11, the power interface 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure is described in details. It is noted that, the following description only is exemplary, and is not limitation to the present disclosure.

For convenience to describe, an example where the power interface 100 is implemented as a Type-C interface is described. The Type-C interface may also be called an USB Type-C interface. The Type-C interface belongs to a type of an interface, and is a new data, video, audio and power transmission interface specification developed and customized by the USB standardization organization to solve the drawbacks present for a long time that the physical interface specifications of the USB interface are uniform, and that the power can only be transmitted in one direction.

The Type-C interface may have the following features: a standard device may declare its willing to occupy a VBUS (that is, a positive connection wire of a traditional USB) to another device through a CC (Configuration Channel) pin in the interface specification. The device having a stronger willing may eventually output voltages and currents to the VBUS, while the other device may accept the power supplied from the VBUS bus, or the other device may still refuse to accept the power; however, it does not affect the transmission function. In order to use the definition of the bus more conveniently, a Type-C interface chip (such as LDR6013) may generally classify devices into four types: DFP (Downstream-facing Port), Strong DRP (Dual Role Power), DRP, and UFP (Upstream-facing Port). The willingness of these four types to occupy the VBUS bus may gradually decrease.

The DFP may correspond to an adapter, and may continuously output voltages to the VBUS. The Strong DRP may correspond to a mobile power, and may give up outputting voltages to the VBUS only when the strong DRP encounters the adapter. The DRP may correspond to a mobile phone. Normally, the DRP may expect other devices to supply power to itself. However, when encountering a device that may have a weaker willingness, the DRP may also output the voltages and currents to the device. The UFP will not output electrical power externally. Generally, the UFP is a weak battery device, or a device without any batteries, such as a Bluetooth headset. The USB Type-C interface may support the insertions both from a positive side and a negative side. Since there are four groups of power sources and grounds on both sides (the positive side and the negative side), the power supported by USB Type-C interface may be greatly improved.

The power interface 100 in this embodiment may be a USB Type-C interface, which may be applied to a power adapter with the fast charging function, or a normal power adapter. The fast charging herein may refer to a charging state in which a charging current is greater than or equal to 2.5 A. The normal charging herein may refer to a charging state in which the charging current is less than 2.5 A. That is, when the power interface 100 is charged by the power adapter with the fast charging function, the charging current is greater than or equal to 2.5 A, or the rated output power is no less than 15 W. When the power interface 100 is charged by the normal power adapter, the charging current is less than 2.5 A, or the rated output power is less than 15 W.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1-8, the power interface 100 may include a housing 1, a connection body 2, a partition piece 23, and an encapsulation member 24. The connection body 2 may be arranged in the housing 1, configured to be connected to the circuit board 25, and may include four power-pin assemblies 21. Each power-pin assembly 21 may include two power pins 21 spaced apart from each other in the up-down direction. The partition piece 23 may be sandwiched between the two power pins 211, such that it is possible to avoid poor contact between the connecting line and the power interface 100 caused by the movement of the two power pins 211 which are spaced apart from each other in the up-down direction towards each other. The partition piece 23 and the connection body 2 may be wrapped by the encapsulation member 24.

In this case, the encapsulation member 24 may be made of electrically insulative and heat-conductive material. The encapsulation member 24 may be configured to fix the partition piece 23, the power-pin assemblies 21 and the data pins 22 of the connection body 2, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the connection line of the power adapter and the power interface 100. As shown in FIGS. 1, 5 and 6, the encapsulation member 24 may include a first encapsulation portion 241 and a second encapsulation portion 242 connected to first encapsulation portion 241. The first encapsulation portion 241 may be embedded into the second encapsulation portion 242 in this embodiment. The second encapsulation portion 242 may define a plurality of receiving groove 2421, and the first encapsulation portion 241 may include a plurality of embedding protrusions 2411. The plurality of receiving grooves 2421 may be in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of embedding protrusions 2411, and cooperate with the plurality of embedding protrusions 2411. In this way, the reliability of the connection between the first encapsulation portion 241 and the second encapsulation portion 242 may be improved.

As shown in FIG. 3, the partition piece 23 may have a head end 23a close to a front end of the power-pin assembly 21, a tail end 23b close to a rear end of the power-pin assembly 21, and a connection portion 23c connected between the head end 23a and the tail end 23b. More specifically, the tail end 23b may be the one connected to the circuit board 25, and the head end 23a may be the one away from the circuit board 25 and opposite to the tail end 2. The head end 23a may define a through hole 231, and a reinforcing rib 232 may be arranged in the through hole 231. The reinforcing rib 232 may extend in the left-right direction. In this way, the material of the partition piece 23 may be saved, and the structural strength of the partition piece 23 may be enhanced. The head end 23a and the left-side wall face may have a reinforcing protrusion 233 that protrudes away from the connection body 2. The reinforcing protrusion 233 may increase the area of the contact face between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24, enhance the adhesion between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24, and make the connection between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24 more stable. In this way, the partition piece 23 and the connection body 2 may be better fixed together by the encapsulation member 24.

As shown in FIG. 3, a notch 234 may be defined in the connection portion 23c of the partition piece 23. The notch 234 in some embodiments may be defined in the middle of the partition piece 23. In this way, when the partition piece 23 is shifted upwardly or downwardly, the partition piece 23 may quickly return back to the original position. A crimping 235 may be arranged at the tail end 23b, the crimping 235 may be bent in a direction towards one of the pair of power pins 211. Therefore, one of the pair of power pins 211 may be wrapped by the crimping 235. The crimping 235 may increase the contact face between the partition piece 23 and the encapsulation member 24, and provide a protection to the power-pin assembly 21. The tail end 23b may have a widened portion 236, and the widened portion 236 may define a through hole 231, which further saves the material of the partition piece 23.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the tail end 23b may be spaced apart from the housing 1 and connected to the connection body 2. In this way, it is possible to avoid producing interference with the antenna signals, and thus the quality and the speed of signal transmission may be improved. A first pad 251 and a second pad 252 spaced apart from each other may be arranged on the circuit board 25. The housing 1 may be welded on the first pad 251, and the tail end 23b may be welded on the second pad 252. In this way, the housing 1 and the partition piece 23 may be connected to the circuit board 25, thereby firmly fixing the connection body 2 to the circuit board 25 and preventing the power pins 211 of the connection body 2 from falling off the circuit board 25, and thus the reliability of the operation of the power interface 100 may be ensured.

As shown in FIG. 2, at least one power pin 211 may include an expanded portion 2111. The expanded portion 2111 may have a cross-sectional area larger than that of a data pin 22 of the connection body 2. In this way, the current load of the power pins 211 may be increased, and the transmission speed of the current may be improved. A recess 2112 may be defined in the expanded portion 2111 at a position away from the circuit board 25. When the power interface 100 performs the fast charging function, the power pin 211 with the expanded portion 2111 may be used to carry a large charging current. When the power interface 100 performs the normal charging function, the recess 2112 on the expanded portion 2111 may prevent the power pin 211 from getting into contact with a corresponding pin of a power adapter.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 11, a thickness of the power pin 211 may be defined as D, and the cross-sectional area of the expanded portion 2111 may be defined as S. It has been experimentally verified that, when D=0.25 mm and S=0.13125 mm², the current load of the power pins 211 is at least 12 A, thereby improving the charging efficiency. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11, when W=0.25 mm, the current load of the power pins 211 is at least 14 A, thereby improving the charging efficiency.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 4-8, a first stopping plate 11 may be arranged in the housing 1, and an engaging flange 2422 may be arranged on the second encapsulation portion 242. The power interface 100 may further include a second stopping plate 3. The second stopping plate 3 may be arranged in the housing 1, connected to the housing 1, and spaced apart from the first stopping plate 11. The engaging flange 2422 may be sandwiched between the first stopping plate 11 and the second stopping plate 3. In this way, the second encapsulation portion 242 may be fixed in the housing 1 by the first stopping plate 11 and the second stopping plate 3, thereby fixing the connection body 2 in the housing 1, and preventing the connection body 2 from moving in the up-down direction of the housing 1.

In this case, the first stopping plate 11 and the second stopping plate 3 may be made of metal, and the second stopping plate 3 may be made of stainless steel. The second stopping plate 3 may be connected to the housing 1 by means of spot welding. The housing 1 and the second stopping plate 3 made of metal may have a great structural strength. In this way, it is possible to enhance the structural strength of the power interface 100. In addition, since the inner space of the housing 1 is limited, when the second stopping plate 3 is welded on the housing 1, it is possible to simplify the processing and assembling processes, shorten manufacturing cycles, and reduce the manufacturing cost. A gap 31 may be defined between the second stopping plate 3 and the housing 1, and a dispensing layer may be arranged in the gap 31. On one hand, the dispensing layer may further bond the second stopping plate 3 with the housing 1 to improve the reliability of the connection between the second stopping plate 3 and the housing 1. On the other hand, the dispensing layer may have a waterproof function; that is, the dispensing layer may prevent liquid from entering the power interface 100 via an open end of the power interface 100 and damaging of the circuit board 25 inside the power interface 100, and the like, thereby ensuring the reliability of the power interface 100. In this embodiment, a pair of second stopping plates 3 may be provided. The pair of second stopping plates 3 may extend in the circumferential direction of the housing 1. The pair of second stopping plates 3 may form an annular stopping plate. In this way, the reliability of the connection between the second stopping plate 3 and the housing 1 may be enhanced, and the structure of the second stopping plate 3 may be simplified.

The first stopping plate 11 may also extend in the circumferential direction of the connection body 2. In this way, it is possible to enhance the fixing of the connection body 2 by the first stopping plate 11. A stopping protrusion 111 may be arranged on a sidewall face of the first stopping plate 11 that faces towards the second stopping plate 3, and the stopping protrusion 111 may be inserted in the engaging groove 2423 defined in the engaging flanges 2422 and engaged with the engaging flanges 2422. In this way, it is possible to prevent the connection body 2 from shaking in the housing 1 by the cooperation between the engaging flange 2422 and the stopping protrusion 111, and thus it is possible to ensure the reliability of the operation of the power interface 100.
