Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of power socket structure design, and in particular relates to a pop-up socket. Background Art

[0002] A pop-up socket is a power socket that integrates a power interface and can be popped out or retracted. It is usually installed on a desktop or workbench to facilitate the use of the power interface and keep the desktop neat and beautiful. A pop-up socket is disclosed in patent document CN207199908U. When the pop-up socket is in use, after the frame is unlocked, the torsion spring releases the elastic force to pop up the frame. After the frame pops up, the block and the limit plate are against the frame to resist the limit. The main problems in the actual use of the above-mentioned pop-up socket are: the elastic force of the torsion spring cannot be adjusted after installation. When the frame is opened, the elastic force released by the torsion spring drives the frame to pop open quickly, which has a large impact force and is easy to injure the user. Moreover, after the block collides with the limit plate, a loud impact sound will be emitted, which produces a lot of noise and affects the user's experience. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixed", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixed" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral whole; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in the field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0026] The pop-up socket structure provided in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows Figures 1 to 7As shown, it includes a face frame 1, a frame jump mechanism 2 and a locking mechanism 3; the face frame 1 is a rectangular frame structure, the frame jump mechanism 2 is connected to the face frame 1 and can move up and down relative to the face frame 1, when the frame jump mechanism 2 is opened, the socket of the functional part (not shown in the figure) thereon is exposed, so as to facilitate the plugging of an external plug with the functional part socket, and when the frame jump mechanism 2 is closed, the functional part is hidden; the locking mechanism 3 is installed on the face frame 1 at one side of the frame jump mechanism 2, and the locking mechanism 3 is used to lock the frame jump mechanism 2. The frame jump mechanism 2 can be locked by the locking mechanism 3 to put the frame jump mechanism 2 in a closed state, and when the frame jump mechanism 2 needs to be opened, the locking mechanism 3 is controlled to unlock the frame jump mechanism 2.

[0027] like Figure 7 As shown, fixing grooves are provided at both ends of the inner side of the face frame 1, and an airbag 4 is fixed in the fixing grooves. The airbag 4 is made of rubber with an air cavity, and an air inlet and an air outlet 41 are provided on the airbag 4. An air inlet check valve is provided in the air inlet, and an air outlet check valve is provided in the air outlet 41; pressing blocks 25 are provided at positions corresponding to the airbag 4 on both sides of the jumping frame mechanism 2; in this way, during the opening process of the jumping frame mechanism 2, the pressing blocks 25 collide with the airbag 4 and then generate a damping and buffering effect through the airbag 4. As the jumping frame mechanism 2 continues to open, the airbag 4 is continuously compressed, and the air inside the airbag 4 is discharged from the air outlet 41. In this process, the opening speed of the jumping frame mechanism 2 can be slowed down, thereby avoiding a violent collision caused by the rapid opening of the jumping frame mechanism 2, and avoiding impact damage to the user's body when the jumping frame mechanism 2 is rapidly opened, and effectively reducing noise; in the process of closing the jumping frame mechanism 2, the pressing blocks 25 gradually withdraw the pressure on the airbag 4, and air enters the airbag 4 from the air inlet to quickly restore the airbag 4. In actual operation, a regulating valve can be set at the air outlet 41, and the air outlet volume can be adjusted by the regulating valve, thereby realizing the adjustment of the opening speed of the jump frame mechanism 2. It is preferred to set the diameter of the air inlet larger than the diameter of the air outlet 41 to facilitate the rapid recovery of the airbag 4.

[0028] Furthermore, a protruding fixing column is integrally provided on the jumping frame mechanism 2 (specifically, the jumping frame 23), and the pressure block 25 is made of rubber and is tightly fitted on the outside of the fixing column through the sleeve hole on it, thereby fixing the pressure block 25 on the fixing column. In order to further enhance the reliability of the fixed connection between the pressure block 25 and the fixing column, an adhesive layer is provided between the fixing column and the pressure block 25, and the adhesive layer effectively fixes and bonds the fixing column and the pressure block 25.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 5 and Figure 6The lock mechanism 3 is a strip structure arranged along the width direction of the face frame 1, which includes a strip button 31, a strip bracket 32, a locking bar 33 and a spring 34.

In this state, when the jumping frame mechanism 2 is in a closed state, the locking portions 333 on the two locking bars 33 are locked. When the locking cam 311 is in the unlocking state, the locking cam 332 is pressed against the locking cam 311 to release the locking cam 312.

[0030] First, the locking mechanism 3 in the present application is set as a strip structure, and the strip button 31 is large in size. Unlocking can be achieved by pressing the strip button 31 downward, which is convenient for users to operate and can effectively improve the user experience; and the locking mechanism 3 in the present application has a reasonable structure and is easy to assemble; specifically, when assembling the product, the strip button 31 is installed on the upper part of the strip bracket 32 ​​using the connecting shaft 35, and then the lock bar 33 and the spring 34 are installed on the strip bracket 32 ​​from the bottom to form the entire locking mechanism 3, and finally the strip bracket 32 ​​is fixed to the face frame 1 to fix the locking mechanism 3 on the face frame 1, which is easy to assemble. When the jump frame mechanism 2 is in the closed state, the panel 22 in the jump frame mechanism 2 and the strip button 31 in the locking mechanism 3 jointly cover the upper surface of the face frame 1, making the surface of the socket simple and beautiful.

[0031] A convex rib may be provided inside the bar-shaped button 31 to enhance the overall strength of the bar-shaped button 31 .

[0032] In some embodiments, Figure 6As shown, the upper part of the strip bracket 32 ​​is provided with a convex strip extending along its length direction; the strip button 31 is provided with a connecting block 312 protruding downward, the connecting block 312 is opposite to the convex strip, the convex strip is provided with a socket 1, the connecting block 312 is provided with a socket 2, the connecting shaft 35 penetrates the socket 1 and the socket 2, the connecting shaft 35 and the socket 1 are clearance fit, and the connecting shaft 35 and the socket 2 are interference fit, so that the connecting shaft 35 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 312, and the strip button 31 can be flexibly moved relative to the strip bracket 32; in actual operation, the connecting shaft 35 and the socket 2 can also be set to be clearance fit, and the connecting shaft 35 and the socket 1 are interference fit.

[0033] Exemplarily, the spring 34 is a helical compression spring, one end of which is connected to the strip bracket 32 ​​and the other end is connected to the lock bar 33; in actual operation, the spring 34 can also be a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the positioning pin 334 to provide the required elastic force for the lock bar 33.

[0034] In order to simplify the structure and ensure the reliability of the installation of the locking bar 33, the positioning pin 334 is formed integrally with the strip bracket 32, which can reduce the complexity of assembly and reduce production costs. A positioning hole 12 is provided on the face frame 1 at a position corresponding to the positioning pin 334. The lower end of the positioning pin 334 is inserted into the positioning hole 12. The positioning pin 334 can be limited by the plug-in cooperation with the positioning hole 12, so that the installation position of the locking mechanism 3 can be accurately positioned and the limiting effect of the positioning pin 334 on the locking bar 33 can be strengthened.

[0035] In some embodiments, a threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the strip bracket 32, and a bolt through hole is provided on the surface frame 1 at a position corresponding to the threaded hole. A fastening screw 36 passes through the bolt through hole and is screwed into the threaded hole to fix the strip bracket 32 ​​on the surface frame 1. A plurality of fastening screws 36 may be provided.

The functional component installation frame 24 is a rectangular frame structure. The functional component can be snap-fitted and fixed on the functional component installation frame 24. The functional component can adopt a two-hole socket module, a three-hole socket module, a five-hole socket module, a USB socket module, etc.; the jump frame 23 includes two oppositely arranged side frames 231. The corresponding positions on the inner sides of the two side frames 231 are provided with positioning slots 232 extending in the up and down directions. The upper end is provided with a socket and the lower end is closed. When assembling, the two opposite ends of the functional component installation frame 24 are respectively inserted into the positioning slots 232 through the corresponding sockets. The panel 22 is screwed on the upper end of the jump frame 23 and the functional component installation frame 24 is restrained and limited, thereby ensuring that the functional component is reliably installed on the functional component installation frame 24 and is easy to install; the elastic member 21 has two oppositely arranged driving arms 211, and the two driving arms 211 are respectively abutted on the two side frames 231, so that the elastic force released by the elastic member 21 is applied to the side frames 231 at both ends of the jump frame 23 through the two driving arms 211, thereby providing a stable elastic force to the jump frame 23. When the jump frame mechanism 2 is in a closed state, the elastic member 21 is in an energy storage state, and the elastic member 21 releases the stored energy to drive the jump frame mechanism 2 to bounce upward and open. The elastic member 21 can adopt a damping mechanism or a torsion spring mechanism.

[0037] In order to enhance the waterproof performance of the socket, a sealing ring is provided on the inner side of the panel 22 and is arranged around the jump frame 23. When the jump frame mechanism 2 is in a closed state, the sealing ring is pressed between the face frame 1 and the panel 22 to seal the gap between the two and prevent water from dripping into the interior of the socket.

Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
