Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the socket of the first embodiment of the present invention when the converter is in a closed state. Figure 4 for Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the charging end of the socket with a wired device plugged into it is shown in FIG. Figure 5 for Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the structure of the wireless device installed on the socket shown in the figure. As shown in the figure, the socket 1 of the present invention is a desktop or wall-type socket, and is installed at a fixed position with a surface such as a desktop or wall, for charging the wireless device 6 and / or the charging end 7 of the wired device, and the socket 1 includes a base 2 and a converter 3. The base 2 is installed on the desktop or wall, and includes a base surface 21 and a groove 22, and the groove 22 is formed by the base surface 21 being concave. The converter 3 is installed on the base 2, and includes a converter body 32 and a setting part 31.

[0049] The converter body 32 is at least partially disposed in the groove 22 of the base 2, and includes two power sockets 33, a wired power transmission module 34 and a wireless power transmission module 35, wherein the wired power transmission module 34 and the wireless power transmission module 35 are shown in FIG. Figure 1 In order to simplify the diagram, Figures 2 to 5 The wired power transmission module 34 and the wireless power transmission module 35 are hidden in the middle. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, each power socket 33 is a type-C power socket and is used for plugging in the charging terminal 7 of the wired device. The wired power transmission module 34 supplies power to the two power sockets 33, so that the wired charging module 34 charges the wired device via the power sockets 33. Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the setting portion 31 is disposed on a side of the converter body 32 away from the groove 22 of the base 2, one side of the setting portion 31 contacts the base surface 21, and the setting portion 31 includes a setting portion surface 311 and a setting portion bottom surface 312. The setting portion surface 311 of the setting portion 31 is used for placing the wireless device 6, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown. Figure 1As shown, the wireless power transmission module 35 is adjacent to the bottom surface 312 of the setting portion 31, and when the wireless device 6 is set on the setting portion surface 311 of the setting portion 31, the wireless power transmission module 35 charges the wireless device 6 by wireless transmission through the setting portion 31, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 shown.

[0050] The side of the setting portion 31 in contact with the base surface 21 forms a rotation fulcrum. When the setting portion surface 311 of the setting portion 31 receives an external force, the setting portion 31 can rotate with the rotation fulcrum as the axis. For example, the setting portion 31 rotates in a direction away from the groove 22 of the base 2 according to the rotation fulcrum, so that an angle is formed between the setting portion 31 and the base surface 21 of the base 2, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the setting portion 31 drives the converter body 32 connected to the setting portion 31 to rotate in a direction away from the groove 22 of the base 2, thereby exposing two power sockets 33, and the converter 3 is in an open state. In this structure, the socket 1 can charge the wireless device 6 set on the setting portion surface 311 of the setting portion 31 via the wireless power transmission module 35, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, at the same time, the wired device plugged into the power socket 34 can be charged via the wired power transmission module 34, such as Figure 4 When the setting portion 31 rotates toward the groove 22 of the base 2 according to the rotation fulcrum, the setting portion 31 and the base surface 21 of the base 2 are on the same surface, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the setting portion 31 drives the converter body 32 connected to the setting portion 31 toward the direction of the groove 22 of the base 2, and the converter body 32 is received in the groove 22 of the base 2, thereby hiding the two power sockets 33, and the converter 3 is in a closed state. Under this structure, the socket 1 can charge the wireless device 6 set on the setting portion surface 311 of the setting portion 31 through the wireless power transmission module 35. In one embodiment, when the setting portion 31 rotates toward the direction of the groove 22 of the base 2 according to the rotation fulcrum, the setting portion 31 is received in the groove 22 of the base 2, and the surface of the setting portion 31 and the base surface 21 of the base 2 are located on the same plane, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown.

[0051] As can be seen from the above, the socket 1 of the present invention includes a converter 3, and the converter body 32 of the converter 3 includes a wired power transmission module 34 and a wireless power transmission module 35. When the user only needs wireless charging, the converter 3 can be turned off by external force, and the socket 1 can charge the wireless device 6 set on the setting portion surface 311 of the setting portion 31 through the wireless power transmission module 35. When the user has both wireless charging and wired charging needs, the converter 3 can be turned on by external force, and the socket 1 can charge the wireless device 6 set on the setting portion surface 311 of the setting portion 31 through the wireless power transmission module 35, and at the same time charge the wired device plugged into the power socket 34 through the wired power transmission module 34. Therefore, compared with the traditional socket that must use the power output line for charging, the socket 1 of the present invention can choose wireless charging or wired charging according to needs, so that the socket 1 of the present invention is more convenient.

[0052] In order to fix the wireless device 6 on the setting portion 31, in some embodiments, the wireless power transmission module 35 has a magnetic attraction function, so that the wireless power transmission module 35 uses the magnetic attraction function to fix the wireless device 6 with magnetic force on the setting portion surface 311 of the setting portion 31. In some embodiments, the base surface 21 of the base 2 has a support structure 211, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, when the converter 3 is in the open state, that is, there is an angle between the setting portion 31 and the base surface 21 of the base 2, the support structure 211 protrudes from the base surface 21, so that the support structure 211 supports the wireless device 6 when the wireless device 6 is set on the setting portion surface 311 of the setting portion 31 to prevent the wireless device 6 from sliding off. Figure 3 As shown, when the converter 3 is in the closed state, that is, the setting portion 31 and the base surface 21 of the base 2 are the same surface, and the setting portion 31 is accommodated in the groove 22 of the base 2, the support structure 211 is accommodated in the base 2, and the surface of the support structure 211 is the same surface as the base surface 21 of the base 2, so that the wireless device 6 can be evenly arranged on the setting portion surface 311 of the setting portion 31.
