CABLE MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES FOR POWER CONVERTERS

摘要

A variety of arrangements for management of DC power cords in AC-to-DC power converters. These arrangements include a frame for wrapping the cord around, in which the AC power plug may or may not be pivotably attached to the frame. The AC-to-DC power conversion circuitry may be miniaturized and contained within either the AC power plug or the frame. In addition, other arrangements include a retractable reel for the DC power cord that may be located within the frame or within the AC power plug.
