[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] See also Figure 1-3 A rotary power strip includes a socket housing 1, a main control PCB board 2, a jack docking component 3 and a serial connection component 4. The socket housing 1 includes a base 11 and a jack seat 12 rotatably connected to the base 11. The jack docking component 3 is fixed in the jack of the jack seat 12. The serial connection component 4 and the main control PCB board 2 are both fixed in the base 11, and one end of the serial connection component 4 is electrically connected to the main control PCB board 2, and the other end of the serial connection component 4 is electrically connected to the jack docking component 3.

[0026] The base 11 and the socket 12 are both triangular prism-shaped. There are multiple sockets 12 arranged sequentially on the base 11. During rotation, the sockets 12 can rotate 120 degrees left and right. At the end of each rotation, the sockets 12 and the base 11 maintain a consistent shape, ensuring the ease of use and aesthetics of the rotating power strip.

[0027] Compared to the prior art, the rotatable power strip of the present invention has a jack socket 12 that is rotatably connected to the base 11, a serial connection assembly 4 fixed to the base 11, and a jack docking assembly 3 fixed to the socket socket 12. When a plug is inserted into the socket socket 12, the plug pin on the plug electrically connects to the jack docking assembly 3, which in turn electrically connects to the serial connection assembly 4, which in turn electrically connects to the main control PCB board 2, thereby achieving electrical connection between the plug and the main control PCB board 2. In the present invention, the serial connection assembly 4 is fixed to the base 11 and stationary, while the jack docking assembly 3 is rotatably fixed to the socket socket 12. This ensures that the sockets in the socket socket 12 change in different directions according to the positions of different plugs, thereby achieving the effect of preventing interference between the plugs.

[0028] Please see further Figure 4 The jack docking assembly 3 includes a plug slot 31 made of insulating material and a metal pin slot 32. The plug slot 31 is fixed in the jack of the jack socket 12. One end of the pin slot 32 is fixedly connected to the plug slot 31, and the other end of the pin slot 32 is electrically connected to the serial connection assembly 4. The plug slot 31 is used to accommodate the head of the plug, and the metal pin slot 32 is used to electrically connect the plug pin position.

[0029] In this embodiment, the latch slot 32 includes an elastic slot portion 321 for securing the latch, a fixed portion 322 fixedly connected to the plug slot 31, and a rotatable connection portion 323 rotatably connected to the serial connection assembly 4. One end of the fixed portion 322 is fixedly connected to the elastic slot portion 321, and the other end of the fixed portion 322 is fixedly connected to the rotatable connection portion 323. The elastic slot portion 321 has a certain degree of elasticity, which provides greater stability after the latch is inserted. The fixed portion 322 is used to fix to the plug slot 31, and the rotatable connection portion 323 is used for rotatable connection with the serial connection assembly 4. The overall structure ensures both an insulated and fixed connection between the jack docking assembly 3 and the jack socket 12, and a rotatable electrical connection between the jack docking assembly 3 and the serial connection assembly 4, resulting in stable overall electrical conductivity.

[0030] In this embodiment, the elastic slot 321 includes an insertion slot and a retaining slot. The retaining slot is narrower than the insertion slot and is surrounded by a deformable spring. The retaining slot has a certain degree of elasticity, which ensures that the pin can be inserted and also ensures that the pin is squeezed after insertion.

[0031] In this embodiment, the jack docking assembly 3 also includes a positioning slot 33, which is fixed in the plug slot 31. The middle part of the positioning slot 33 is electrically connected to the serial connection assembly 4, and the two ends of the positioning slot 33 respectively lead out elastic parts extending toward the slot opening of the plug slot 31.

[0032] Please see further Figure 5The serial connection component 4 includes a serial connection seat 41 and a serial conductive plate 42. The pin slot 32 and the positioning slot 33 can be rotatably connected to different serial connection seats 41 respectively. Different serial connection seats 41 are electrically connected to the serial conductive plates 42 respectively, and the serial conductive plates 42 are electrically connected to the main control PCB board 2.

[0033] Specifically, the serial connection seat 41 is provided with a first protruding plate with a through hole, and the rotary connection portion 323 is provided with a second protruding plate with a through hole. By disposing a connecting rod between the first and second protruding plates, a rotatable connection between the first and second protruding plates can be achieved. In this way, the rotation angle between the first and second protruding plates is more unrestricted. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned rotatable connection method. The rotatable connection between the rotary connection portion 323 and the serial connection seat 41 can also be directly achieved by using a rotatable connection structure of a bearing and a bearing sleeve. As long as the structural design effect that can achieve a rotatable connection is within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Specifically, the pin slot body 32 includes a positive slot body and a negative slot body, the series conductive plate 42 includes a positive plate, a negative plate and a grounding plate, the series connection seat 41 that can be rotatably connected to the positive slot body is electrically connected to the positive plate in turn, the series connection seat 41 that can be rotatably connected to the negative slot body is electrically connected to the negative plate in turn, and the series connection seat 41 that can be rotatably connected to the positioning slot body 33 is electrically connected to the grounding plate in turn.

[0035] The positive electrode slot body and the negative electrode slot body are respectively arranged at the two ends of the bottom of the plug slot body 31, and the positioning slot body 33 is arranged between the two. The rotation axes of the positive electrode slot body, the negative electrode slot body and the positioning slot body 33 are on the same straight line, so that the rotation process is more stable and firm.

[0036] In this embodiment, the rotary power strip also includes a conductive positioning bracket 5, which is fixed within the base 11. The positive plate, negative plate, and ground plate are each fixed within the conductive positioning bracket 5, and the positive plate, negative plate, and ground plate are not in contact. The arrangement of the conductive positioning bracket 5 allows the positive plate, negative plate, and ground plate to be fixed on three different planes, ensuring that they do not contact each other, thereby preventing the possibility of leakage.

[0037] It should be noted that the bottom of the conductive positioning bracket 5 is arc-shaped, thereby ensuring that the inner surface of the jack socket 12 does not contact the conductive positioning bracket 5 during the rotation of the jack socket 12 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the base 11 includes a main body 111 and a jack connection body 112. The main control PCB board 2 is fixed to the main body 111. The conductive positioning bracket 5 is fixed to the main body 111 and the jack connection body 112 in sequence. The jack connection body 112 is spaced between the jack seats 12 and the jack seats 12. The jack seats 12 are provided with circular rotating slides adapted to the jack connection body 112. The jack seats 12 are rotatably connected to each other through the jack connection body 112. Each jack seat 12 can operate and rotate independently without being affected by other jacks.

[0039] In this embodiment, the main body 111 is also provided with a power button, an indicator light, and a USB data port. To enhance the functionality of the rotary power strip of the present invention, the main body 111 is also provided with a power button for power control, a power indicator light, and a data port for direct charging of a USB plug or a Type-C plug.

[0040] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, but these improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
