Abstract

This invention provides a power plug device and the manufacturing method thereof, the power plug device comprises a power-connected base; a cover is configured to the power-connected base, wherein the cover can cover the internal components of the power-connected base, such as at least one plug and a printed circuit board, a gap between the cover and a lid is filled with an insulating compound for preventing liquid ingress, and then the power plug device is sealed by using an ultrasonic welding.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A power plug device, comprising:
a power-connecting base, having at least one plug, wherein an inner edge of said power-connecting base comprises a plurality of supporting elements;
a printed circuit board, having a first region and a second region, wherein said first region is electrically coupled to said at least one plug;
a cover, having a concave portion surrounded with a rim, wherein said second region of said printed circuit board is configured into said concave portion, and said rim is placed on said plurality of supporting elements, wherein said cover is configured with a hole;
a cable, electrically coupled to said printed circuit board via said hole;
a lid, configured with said power-connecting base and on said cover, wherein only the rim of said cover is filled with an insulating compound for lightening weight of said power plug device and preventing liquid ingress; and
an ultrasonic welding seal configured to seal said power plug device.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein said power-connecting base comprises at least one passage, and said at least one plug is passed through said at least one passage.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein said first region of said printed circuit board comprises at least one first contact and said second region comprises at least one second contact, wherein said at least one first contact is electrically connected to said at least one plug, and said at least one second contact is electrically connected to said cable.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein said hole is located on said rim.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein said power-connecting base further comprises a base opening, said cable is mounted into said base opening.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein said cable comprises a strain relief, said strain relief is mounted into said base opening.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the width and the high of said second region of said printed circuit board corresponds to the inner width and the inner high of said concave portion.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the location of said supporting elements is corresponded with the common border between said first region and said second region.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the width of a first side of said first region corresponds to the width of said concave portion.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein said insulating compound is filled at least covering said cable.

11. A method for manufacturing a power plug device, including:
connecting a cover with a cable by passing said cable through a hole of said cover;
mounting a concave portion surrounded with a rim of said cover on a second region of a printed circuit board and electrically coupling said second region to said cable;
configuring the combined said cable, said cover, and said printed circuit board into an inner side of a power-connecting base, wherein said power-connecting base is configured with at least one plug, said at least one plug is electrically coupled to a first region of said printed circuit board;
only filling an insulating compound into the rim of said cover;
mounting a lid on said power-connecting base; and
an ultrasonic welding seal configured to seal said power plug device.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein said second region of said printed circuit board comprises at least one second contact for electrically coupling to said cable.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein said first region of said printed circuit board comprises at least one first contact for electrically coupling to said at least one plug.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein said power-connecting base comprises at least one passage, and said at least one plug is passed through said at least one passage.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein an inner edge of said power-connecting base comprises a plurality of supporting elements, wherein said cover is mounted on said plurality of supporting elements.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein said power-connecting base comprises a base opening.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein said cable comprises a strain relief, wherein said strain relief is mounted into said base opening.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein said insulating compound is filled at least covering said cable.
