The pop-up socket has reasonable structure, the jump frame has a more flexible and novel opening / closing mode, the size of the cover plate on the jump frame can be increased, and thus the square ring-shaped panel on the upper part of the box body is omitted.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pop-up socket, belonging to the field of socket structure design. Background Technology

[0002] In a pop-up socket, the jumper mechanism springs up after being unlocked, exposing the socket module on the jumper mechanism to allow external plugs to connect to the socket holes on the module and provide power to external devices. In existing pop-up sockets, the jumper mechanism is mostly a fixed-axis rotating structure, meaning it rotates around a fixed axis when it opens / closes. Due to structural limitations, this existing structure, designed to avoid interference between the jumper and the upper part of the housing, has a relatively small cover plate on top of the jumper. This cover plate, together with the square annular panel fixed to the upper part of the housing, forms the upper surface of the socket, increasing structural complexity. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In this regard, the present invention aims to provide a reasonably structured pop-up socket, whose upper frame has a more flexible and novel opening / closing method, which allows the cover plate on the frame to be larger, thus eliminating the need for the square ring panel on the upper part of the box.

[0004] The technical solution to achieve the objective of this invention is:

[0005] A pop-up socket includes a housing and a jump frame mounted on the upper part of the housing. The jump frame includes a cover plate and a mounting frame disposed inside the cover plate. A socket module is mounted on the mounting frame.

[0006] The jump frame is rotatably connected to the box body via two movable connecting mechanisms. Each movable connecting mechanism includes a first fixed plate, a second fixed plate, and two connecting parts. The first fixed plate is fixed to the jump frame, and the second fixed plate is fixed to the box body. The two connecting parts are of different lengths and are hinged to the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate to form a movable four-bar linkage mechanism.

[0007] It also includes a spring-opening mechanism that provides an opening force for the jump frame.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the spring-opening mechanism is a damped spring-opening mechanism.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the damped spring-opening mechanism includes a damper fixed on the box body and a movable limiting member set on the jump frame. The damper has a damper shaft, and a damping connecting rod is fixed to the outer end of the damping shaft. The end of the damping connecting rod is connected to the limiting member.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the box body consists of a bottom box and a face frame connected to the upper part of the bottom box, and the damper and the second fixing plate are fixed to the face frame.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the side wall plate of the mounting frame is provided with a limiting groove, and the limiting member is limited within the limiting groove and can move along the length direction of the limiting groove.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the two first fixing plates are connected by a connecting plate, and the connecting plate is connected to the jump frame.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the connecting plate is bonded to the inner surface of the cover plate.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the cover plate is a glass plate, fiberboard, ceramic plate, wood plate, metal plate or plastic plate.

[0015] The present invention has positive effects: the pop-up socket structure of the present invention is reasonable, and its upper frame has a more flexible opening / closing method, which allows the cover plate on the frame to be larger, thereby eliminating the need for the square ring panel on the top of the box, making the structure simpler and improving the aesthetics of the socket.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The specific structure of the pop-up socket in this invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0024] A type of pop-up socket, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes a housing 1 and a pop-up frame 2 mounted on the upper part of the housing 1. The pop-up frame 2 includes a cover plate 21 and a mounting frame 22 located inside the cover plate 21. A socket module 3 is mounted on the mounting frame 22. The pop-up frame 2 is locked by a locking device when closed. The pop-up frame 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 through two movable connecting mechanisms. Each movable connecting mechanism includes a first fixing plate 70, a second fixing plate 71, and two connecting pieces 72. The first fixing plate 70 is fixed to the pop-up frame 2, and the second fixing plate 71 is fixed to the housing 1. The two connecting pieces 72 are of different lengths and are hinged to the first fixing plate 70 and the second fixing plate 71 to form a movable four-bar linkage mechanism. The pop-up socket also includes a pop-out mechanism that provides the opening force for the pop-up frame 2. When the pop-up socket of the present invention is installed and used, when the lock on the jump frame 2 is released, the movable four-bar linkage unfolds under the elastic force of the pop-up mechanism, causing the jump frame 2 to flip upward and open. When the jump frame 2 closes, the movable four-bar linkage retracts into the housing 1. The movable four-bar linkage has four rotation axes, allowing for flexible movement and preventing interference between the jump frame and the housing 1 when opening and closing. The pop-up socket of the present invention has a reasonable structure, and the jump frame has a more flexible opening / closing method, which allows the cover plate on the jump frame to be larger, thus eliminating the need for the square ring panel on the top of the housing, resulting in a simpler structure. The damper and locking device structures described in the present invention can adopt the structures used in existing desktop sockets or floor sockets, and their structures will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0025] In this embodiment, the pop-up mechanism is a damped pop-up mechanism. By setting a damped pop-up mechanism, the jump frame 2 can be opened smoothly, thereby avoiding strong collisions between related components, reducing noise during use, and improving the user experience.

[0026] In this embodiment, the damped spring-opening mechanism includes a damper 4 fixed to the housing 1 and a movably limiting member 6 mounted on the spring frame 2. The damper 4 has a damper shaft 41, and a damping connecting rod 5 is fixed to the outer end of the damping shaft 41. The end of the damping connecting rod 5 is connected to the limiting member 6. With the above structure, after the spring frame 2 is unlocked, the force output by the damper shaft 41 rotating on the damper is applied to the spring frame 2 through the limiting member 6. During the opening of the spring frame 2, the limiting member 6 moves in a set direction, thereby causing the spring frame 2 to open smoothly.

[0027] In this embodiment, the box body 1 is composed of a bottom box 11 and a face frame 12 connected to the upper part of the bottom box 11. The damper 4 and the second fixing plate 71 are fixed on the face frame 12. This design is beneficial for the installation of the damper 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, a limiting groove 20 is provided on the side wall plate of the mounting frame 21. The limiting member 6 is confined within the limiting groove 20 and can move along the length direction of the limiting groove 20. Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the limiting groove 20 is rectangular with a notch on one side. The end of the damping link 5 is connected to the limiting member 6 through the notch. During assembly, the limiting member 6 is inserted through the end opening of the limiting groove, thus restricting the limiting member 6 to move within the limiting groove 20 without detaching. In this embodiment, the limiting member 6 is preferably a cylinder, which is preferably rotatably mounted on the end of the damping link 5. The cylinder can be a bearing, thus reducing the friction between the limiting member 6 and the limiting groove 20.

[0029] In this embodiment, the two first fixing plates 70 are connected by a connecting plate 701, which is bonded to the inner surface of the cover plate 21. During assembly, the connecting plate 701 is fixed to the jump frame 2, thereby fixing the two first fixing plates 70. The movable connecting mechanism is connected to the cover plate 21 by adhesive, eliminating the need for drilling and tapping processes for the cover. As a result, the cover plate 21 can be made of glass, fiberboard, ceramic, wood, metal, or plastic, which simplifies the product manufacturing process and has good practicality.

[0030] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of the present invention still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
