Abstract

A structure of a plug-in power supply apparatus is disclosed. The power supply includes an insulating case, a circuit board and an AC inlet device. The structure of the power supply apparatus is characterized in that the power supply apparatus is detachably disposed in a receiving space of an electronic equipment, and the insulating case has at least one pair of a first conductive terminal for electrically connecting to the circuit board and the electronic equipment.

Claims

1. A structure of a power supply apparatus comprising an insulating case, a circuit board and an AC inlet device, characterized in that:

said power supply apparatus is detachably disposed in a receiving space of an electronic equipment; and

said insulating case has at least one pair of a first conductive terminal for electrically connecting to said circuit board and said electronic equipment.

2. The structure according to claim 1 wherein said electronic equipment is a printer.

3. The structure according to claim 1 wherein said power supply apparatus is an adapter.

4. The structure according to claim 1 wherein said AC inlet device is one of AC inlet and AC wire.

5. The structure according to claim 1 wherein said insulating case comprises a top cover and a base.

6. The structure according to claim 1 wherein said electronic equipment has a second conductive terminal located at a first side wall in said receiving space and at a relative position of said first conductive terminal of said insulating case.

7. The structure according to claim 1 wherein said insulating case has a protruding element closing to one end having said AC inlet device for taking out said insulating case from said electronic equipment.

8. The structure according to claim 1 wherein said insulating case farther comprises a sliding groove.

9. The structure according to claim 8 wherein said electronic equipment has a protruding column located at a second side wall in said receiving space and at a relative position of said sliding groove of said insulating case.

10. An adapter comprising an insulating case, a circuit board and an AC inlet device, characterized in that:

said adapter is detachably disposed in a receiving space of a printer; and

said insulating case has at least one pair of a first conductive terminal for electrically connecting to said circuit board and said printer.

11. The adapter according to claim 10 wherein said printer has a second conductive terminal located at a first side wall in said receiving space and at a relative position of said first conductive terminal of said insulating case.

12. The adapter according to claim 10 wherein said AC inlet device is one of AC inlet and AC wire.

13. The adapter according to claim 10 wherein said insulating case has a protruding element closing to one end having said AC inlet device for taking out said insulating case from said printer.

14. The adapter according to claim 10 wherein said insulating case further comprises a sliding groove.

15. The adapter according to claim 14 wherein said printer has a protruding column located at a second side wall in said receiving space and at a relative position of said sliding groove of said insulating case.

17. The electronic equipment assembly according to claim 16 wherein said electronic equipment has a second conductive terminal located at a first side wall in said receiving space and at a relative position of said first conductive terminal of said insulating case.

18. The electronic equipment assembly according to claim 16 wherein said insulating case has a protruding element closing to one end having said AC inlet device for taking out said insulating case from said electronic equipment.

19. The electronic equipment assembly according to claim 16 wherein said insulating case further comprises a sliding groove.

20. The adapter according to claim 19 wherein said electronic equipment has a protruding column located at a second side wall in said receiving space and at a relative position of said sliding groove of said insulating case.

16. An electronic equipment assembly comprising:

an electronic equipment having a receiving space; and

a power supply apparatus detachably plugged into said receiving space of said electronic equipment, and comprising an insulating case, a circuit board and an AC inlet device,

wherein said insulating case has at least one pair of a first conductive terminal for electrically connected to said circuit board and said electronic equipment.
