DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Reference as follows Figures 1-10 The present invention will be described:

[0048] Embodiment: A multifunctional fast-charging wall switch socket with voice control and USB retractable data cable includes a bottom box 1 with a front opening, and a box cover 2 is connected to the front opening of the bottom box 1.

[0049] The left and right sides of the base box 1 are respectively provided with a left installation cavity 3 and a right installation cavity 4. A partition 5 is provided between the left and right installation cavities 3 and 4, dividing the space between the left and right installation cavities 3 and 4 into an upper installation cavity 6 and a lower installation cavity 7. The interior space of the base box is carefully divided, and this partition design provides a reasonable layout for the installation of different functional components.

[0050] This partition design provides a reasonable layout for the installation of different functional components, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0051] First, it improves space utilization. By finely dividing the different installation cavities, the space inside the bottom box can be fully utilized, allowing each component to be reasonably arranged within a limited space, avoiding space waste and mutual interference between components.

[0052] Second, it facilitates installation and maintenance. Different components are installed in specific mounting cavities, making the installation process more organized and efficient. During installation, workers can quickly locate the installation locations of each component based on the compartmentalization, improving installation speed and accuracy. Furthermore, the zoning design facilitates troubleshooting during subsequent maintenance. If a component fails, maintenance personnel can quickly locate the cavity where it is located and conduct targeted repairs without affecting other unrelated components.

[0053] Third, it enhances product stability and reliability. The design of each mounting cavity can be optimized based on the characteristics of the components, providing a more stable installation environment. For example, for vibration-sensitive circuit boards, a shock-absorbing structure or a more secure fixing method can be installed within the mounting cavity to ensure stability during use. Furthermore, the partitioned design can reduce electromagnetic interference between components and improve product reliability.

[0054] A first circuit board 8 is installed in the left mounting cavity 3. The first circuit board is fixedly connected to the grooves on the upper and lower side walls of the left mounting cavity by plugging. This connection method not only ensures the stable installation of the circuit board, but also facilitates installation and removal.

[0055] The first circuit board is securely connected to the slots on the upper and lower walls of the left mounting cavity. This connection offers significant advantages. First, it ensures a secure mounting of the circuit board. When the first circuit board is inserted into the slot, the shape and size of the slot match the edge of the circuit board, firmly securing it and preventing it from loosening or falling out due to vibration, external forces, and other factors during use. This secure mounting method is crucial for ensuring the proper function of the circuit board, especially in wall switches and sockets that may be subject to a certain degree of vibration and external impact.

[0056] Furthermore, this connection method facilitates installation and removal. During installation, workers simply align the first circuit board with the slots on the upper and lower walls of the left mounting cavity and gently insert it. This is quick and easy. If the circuit board needs repair or replacement, it can be easily removed from the slot without the need for complex tools or tedious procedures. This convenient installation and removal method significantly improves production efficiency and ease of repair, while reducing maintenance costs.

[0057] This plug-and-socket connection also offers excellent heat dissipation. Because there's a gap between the circuit board and the walls of the mounting cavity, air can circulate through it, effectively dissipating heat generated by the circuit board during operation. This excellent heat dissipation extends the circuit board's service life and improves product reliability.

[0058] A cable reel 9 is fixedly mounted in the right mounting cavity 4. This reel features a retractable and automatically retractable charging data cable 10, providing a convenient charging method. Users can extend the data cable to charge as needed, and the cable automatically retracts after use, eliminating clutter and tangling.

[0059] First, the reel's secure mounting within the right mounting cavity ensures its stability. The cavity's size and shape have been carefully designed to perfectly accommodate the reel, preventing it from shaking or shifting during use. This secure mounting method ensures the reel's proper operation, preventing issues such as cable stretching and retraction issues caused by looseness.

[0060] The retractable and automatically retractable charging cable provides a convenient charging solution. Users can easily stretch the cable as needed to connect it to the device they want to charge. This stretchable design allows users to charge without being restricted by cable length, freely adjusting the cable length based on the device's location and usage scenario, increasing charging flexibility and convenience.

[0061] When you're finished using the device, the data cable automatically retracts into the reel. This feature effectively prevents cable clutter and tangling. With traditional charging methods, cables are often left haphazardly and easily tangled, which is not only unsightly but also requires time to untangle the cable the next time you use it. The automatic retraction design allows the cable to be neatly stored in the reel when not in use, keeping the environment clean and organized.

[0062] In addition, the automatically retracting data cable can also reduce damage caused by long-term exposure to the outside world. When not in use, the data cable is stored in the reel, which can protect it from external forces, dust contamination, moisture erosion and other factors, extending the service life of the data cable.

[0063] A second mounting cavity 11 is provided on the inner side of the box cover 2, corresponding to the upper mounting cavity 6. A second circuit board 12 is fixedly mounted in the second mounting cavity 11 and is adapted to be connected to the second mounting cavity 11. In the front-to-back direction, the second circuit board 12 is constrained by the box cover 2 and the bottom box 1, ensuring the stability of the circuit board during use.

[0064] First, the second mounting cavity corresponding to the upper mounting cavity is arranged on the inner side of the box cover, making the overall structure more compact and reasonable. This corresponding design makes full use of space, avoids unnecessary space waste, and also makes the layout of various functional components more orderly.

[0065] The second mounting cavity securely holds the second circuit board, which is securely connected to the second mounting cavity. This ensures a secure fit between the circuit board and the mounting cavity, enhancing its stability.

[0066] The second circuit board is restrained in the front-to-back direction by the cover and bottom box. This restraint further enhances the stability of the circuit board. Together, the cover and bottom box provide a stable mounting environment for the second circuit board, preventing displacement or deformation due to external forces during use. For example, even if the wall switch or socket experiences a slight impact or vibration, the restraints of the cover and bottom box ensure that the second circuit board remains in place and remains intact, thus ensuring its normal operation.

[0067] The bottom of the lower mounting cavity 7 is provided with a mounting slot 13. The bottom of the mounting slot 13 is provided with a wire entry hole 14 that penetrates the rear side of the bottom box 1. Network cables are connected through the wire entry hole 14. The lower sidewall of the mounting slot 13 is provided with a fixing hole 15 that penetrates the lower sidewall of the bottom box 1. There are two mounting slots 13, spaced apart on the left and right sides, providing a convenient location for connecting and fixing network cables.

[0068] First, a cable entry hole at the bottom of the mounting slot, extending through the rear side of the base box, provides a clear path for network cables. Network cables can be routed directly through the hole, ensuring a more organized and standardized connection. This design avoids the potential confusion and safety hazards of haphazardly routed cables, ensuring orderly connection.

[0069] Secondly, the lower sidewall of the mounting slot is provided with a fixing hole that runs through the lower sidewall of the bottom box, providing a reliable way to secure the network cables. Once the network cables are connected through the cable entry hole, they can be securely fastened to the mounting slot using fixing bolts or other fixing devices. This prevents the cables from loosening or falling off during use, ensuring a stable circuit connection.

[0070] Furthermore, two spaced-apart mounting slots further enhance the convenience of connecting and securing network cables. These slots can each accommodate different network cables, such as the live and neutral wires, or provide independent power supply connections for different circuit modules. This design streamlines cable layout and prevents interference between cables. Furthermore, the spaced-apart arrangement facilitates operation for installers and maintenance personnel, improving work efficiency.

[0071] An annular first copper member 16 is mounted within the mounting slot 13. This member is provided with a wiring slot 17 corresponding to the cable entry hole 14. A connecting hole 18 is also provided on this member, corresponding to the fixing hole 15. Fixing bolts 19 connect the connecting hole 18 and the fixing hole 15. Network cables extend from the cable entry hole 14 into the wiring slot 17 and are secured by tightening the fixing bolts 19. Tightening the fixing bolts secures the network cables to the wiring slot.

[0072] First, the ring-shaped first copper piece is installed in the mounting slot, providing a reliable conductive medium for connecting the network cables. Copper has excellent conductivity, ensuring efficient power transmission. The ring-shaped design ensures a tight fit between the first copper piece and the mounting slot, preventing it from loosening or shifting.

[0073] The first copper component features a wiring trough corresponding to the cable entry hole, providing a dedicated connection location for the network cables. The network cables extend from the cable entry hole into the wiring trough, ensuring a more standardized and neat connection. The size and shape of the wiring trough are carefully designed to precisely accommodate the network cables, ensuring good contact between the cables and the first copper component.

[0074] The first copper piece is also provided with a connecting hole corresponding to the fixing hole, and a fixing bolt is connected in the connecting hole and the fixing hole. When the network wire is inserted into the wiring slot, the network wire can be firmly fixed in the wiring slot by tightening the fixing bolt.

[0075] An electrical connection plate 20 is provided at the bottom of the lower mounting cavity 7. This connection plate 20 is in contact with the bottom of the lower mounting cavity 7 and is located in front of the mounting slot 13, thereby confining the first copper member 16 within the mounting slot 13. This design effectively secures the first copper member, preventing it from moving or being lost during assembly and disassembly of the wall switch and socket, thereby improving product reliability and stability.

[0076] This restraining effect on the first copper piece offers several advantages. First, during assembly and disassembly of the wall switch or socket, the first copper piece will not move due to accidental collisions or loosening. This significantly reduces the operational difficulty during installation and maintenance, improving work efficiency. Second, it eliminates the risk of loss of the first copper piece. If the first copper piece were easily dislodged during assembly and disassembly, it could accidentally fall or be placed in the wrong position, resulting in an incomplete installation or requiring additional time to locate the lost piece. However, the restraining effect of the power strip ensures that the first copper piece remains in the correct position, improving product reliability and stability.

[0077] The second copper member 16 is connected to the first copper member 16. The second copper member includes a plate portion 21. The plate portion 21 is arranged in the up-down direction. The upper end of the plate portion 21 is provided with a power connection portion 22 extending backward into the wiring slot 17 (the power connection portion 22 is fixed by a fixing bolt 19). The rear end of the plate portion 21 is provided with a power plug portion 23 extending forward. The power plug portion 23 includes two left and right clamping arms. The plug pins are inserted between the two clamping arms to form an electrical connection.

[0078] The plate portion of the second copper component is arranged vertically, providing stable structural support for the entire copper component. A power connection portion extends rearward into the wiring slot at the upper end of the plate portion. This connection makes close contact with the first copper component, enabling power transmission. This connection portion is secured with fixing bolts, ensuring a secure and stable connection. During installation, the fixing bolts securely fasten the connection portion within the wiring slot of the first copper component, preventing it from loosening or falling out, thereby ensuring reliable power transmission.

[0079] The rear end of the main body features a forward-extending plug-in section. This unique design comprises two clamping arms on either side. When the plug's pins are inserted between the two clamping arms, an electrical connection is established. This clamping design ensures a secure insertion and prevents loosening. Furthermore, the clamping arms tightly wrap around the pins, ensuring a good contact area and thus improving power transmission efficiency.

[0080] The power strip 20 is provided with a connection slot 24 corresponding to the body 21. The connection slot 24 extends through the front, back, and top sides of the power strip 20. Insertion slots 25 are provided on the left and right sides of the connection slot 24. The left and right sides of the body 21 connect to these inserting slots 25. This effectively secures the second copper component by inserting it into the inserting slots 25 on the power strip 20 through the body 21. This design effectively secures the second copper component and prevents it from moving or getting lost during assembly and disassembly of the wall switch or socket.

[0081] The connection slot on the power strip runs through the front, back, and top sides of the strip, providing a specific space for the second copper component to fit snugly into. The key is the insertion slots on the left and right sides of the connection slot, which mate with the left and right sides of the second copper component, allowing the component to fit securely into these slots, thus achieving a plug-in connection between the second copper component and the power strip.

[0082] This plug-in connection creates a stable "positioning device" for the second copper component. Disassembling and installing a wall switch or socket often involves moving, removing, and reinstalling various components, which can easily shift or even get lost due to external forces or collisions. However, because the second copper component's plate is securely inserted into the socket on the power strip, external forces are unlikely to easily shift its position, significantly reducing unnecessary movement of the second copper component during assembly and disassembly.

[0083] This fixing method also eliminates the risk of losing the second copper component. Throughout the entire disassembly and assembly process, it will always be confined to the socket of the power strip, and there will be no possibility of it being dislodged and lost. This ensures that all components are in the correct position before and after operation, providing guarantee for subsequent assembly and the normal use of the socket.

[0084] The connection plate 20 is equipped with connection bars that extend to and connect the first circuit board 8, the second circuit board 12, and the cable reel 9. The connection plate and connection bars form a single, integrated component for electrical connection. This design facilitates electrical connections between the first and second circuit boards, the cable reel, and the copper components. Furthermore, the overall, neat structure avoids cluttered wires, enhancing the aesthetics of the product and improving circuit reliability and safety.

[0085] First, the power strip is equipped with power strips that extend to the first circuit board, the second circuit board, and the cable reel respectively. These power strips are like "power bridges" that closely connect the power strip to various key power-consuming components. For the first circuit board, the power strip can accurately transmit power from the power source to ensure its normal operation, so that it can smoothly implement related functions such as voice control. Similarly, the second circuit board also relies on the power strip to obtain stable power, and then it can accurately identify the externally connected devices and reasonably adjust the output voltage and current according to the type and needs of the device to achieve functions such as fast charging. Only after the cable reel receives power from the power strip can it drive the internal mechanism to operate normally, realizing the convenient function of the charging data cable being stretchable and automatically retracted.

[0086] The terminal block and terminal strip together form a single component for electrical circuit connection. This integrated design concept greatly facilitates the electrical connection between various components. In the past, connecting different components through discrete wires often required complex wiring planning, and the wires were prone to tangling and crossing each other, which not only increased the difficulty and time cost of installation, but also made troubleshooting circuit faults during subsequent use and maintenance very difficult. Now, with the integrated design of the terminal block and terminal strip, the power transmission path between various components is clear and straightforward. Installers only need to follow the established connection method to quickly complete the circuit construction, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0087] At the same time, this design makes the entire socket's internal structure more organized and neat. No more tangled, sprawling wires cluttering the interior. From an aesthetic point of view, the product appears more aesthetically pleasing and neat, blending better with modern home environments and enhancing the product's overall quality. More importantly, the neat circuit structure significantly improves circuit reliability and safety. Disorganized wires are prone to wear and insulation damage, leading to safety hazards such as short circuits and leakage. Connecting via a connection strip reduces the number of wires used and their interference, minimizing the likelihood of such failures and ensuring stable and safe circuit operation, providing users with a strong guarantee for confident use of this multifunctional fast-charging wall switch socket.

[0088] A first terminal bar 31 electrically connected to the first circuit board 8 extends to the left from the left side of the lower end of the power board 20, a second terminal bar 32 electrically connected to the charging data cable 10 on the cable reel 9 extends to the right from the right side of the lower end of the power board 20, and a third terminal bar 33 electrically connected to the second circuit board 12 extends forward from the upper end of the power board 20.

[0089] The first connection bar 31 extending leftward from the left side of the lower end of the connection board 20 is mainly used to achieve electrical connection with the first circuit board 8 .

[0090] The second power strip 32 extending to the right from the right side of the lower end of the power strip 20 is responsible for establishing an electrical connection with the charging data cable 10 on the cable reel 9.

[0091] The third connection bar 33 extending forward from the upper end of the connection board 20 is electrically connected to the second circuit board 12 .

[0092] The connection board 20 is provided with a connection area 34 that electrically contacts the two first copper members 16. Two first conductive wires 35 are provided on the connection board 20. One end of each of the first conductive wires 35 is connected to the two connection areas 34, and the other end of each of the first conductive wires 35 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 8 via a first connection bar 31. Two second conductive wires 36 are provided on the connection board 20. One end of each of the second conductive wires 36 is connected to the two connection areas 34, and the other end of each of the second conductive wires 36 is electrically connected to the second circuit board 12 via a third connection bar 33. A third conductive wire 37 is provided on the connection board 20. The third conductive wire 37 passes through the first connection bar 31 and the second connection bar 32. The two ends of the third conductive wire 37 are electrically connected to the first circuit board 8 and the charging data cable 10 on the cable reel 9, respectively.

[0093] The first conductive wire 35 , the second conductive wire 36 , and the third conductive wire 37 are formed by a conductive layer (the conductive layer is made of a conductive material) covering the connection plate 20 , the first connection bar 31 , the second connection bar 32 , and the third connection bar 33 . The connection plate 20 , the first connection bar 31 , the second connection bar 32 , and the third connection bar 33 are made of an insulating material.

[0094] First, the power connection areas 34 on the power board 20, which are in electrical contact with the two first copper components 16, play a key role. These two power connection areas 34 act as "nodes" for the convergence and transfer of electrical energy. By making electrical contact with the first copper components 16, they effectively collect external electrical energy and prepare for subsequent transmission to components such as the circuit boards and the cable reel.

[0095] Next, consider the two first conductive wires 35. One end of each is connected to the two power connection areas 34, while the other end is electrically connected to the first circuit board 8 via the first connection bar 31. This means that the first conductive wires 35 are responsible for accurately transmitting the electrical energy drawn from the power connection areas 34 to the first circuit board 8. Because they are formed from a conductive layer covering the connection plate 20 and the first connection bar 31, and because this conductive layer is made of a conductive material, they efficiently conduct current, ensuring that the first circuit board 8 can stably receive the required electrical energy.

[0096] Similarly, one end of each of the two second conductive wires 36 is connected to the two power connection areas 34, and the other end is electrically connected to the second circuit board 12 via the third connection bar 33. This design allows the second conductive wires 36 to act as an "electrical bridge" connecting the power connection areas 34 and the second circuit board 12, smoothly transmitting the collected electrical energy to the second circuit board 12.

[0097] The third conductive line 37 is even more unique. It passes through the first and second power connection strips 31 and 32, with its ends electrically connected to the first circuit board 8 and the charging data cable 10 on the cable reel 9, respectively. This unique layout of the conductive line enables power exchange between the first circuit board 8 and the cable reel 9, enabling them to work together and coordinate certain functions. For example, the first circuit board 8 can adjust the operating status of the cable reel 9 through control signals via the third conductive line 37, or the cable reel 9 can feedback its operating status to the first circuit board 8, further enriching the functionality of the entire socket.

[0098] It's worth noting that the power strip 20, first terminal strip 31, second terminal strip 32, and third terminal strip 33 are made of insulating material, which is extremely important. The use of insulating material effectively prevents current from leaking where it shouldn't be, avoiding electrical faults like short circuits and ensuring the safety and stability of the entire circuit system. The first, second, and third conductive wires 35, 36, and 37 conduct current through the overlying conductive layer, cleverly utilizing the structural space available on the power strip and the terminal strips while achieving efficient and orderly power transmission. This makes the circuit layout within the entire socket more organized and compact, while also reducing the clutter associated with traditional wiring connections and improving the overall reliability and aesthetics of the product.

[0099] To sum up, the ingenious combination of these conductive wires, the power strips and the power strips builds a functionally complete, safe, reliable and rationally laid out circuit system, which is the core of the multi-functional fast-charging wall switch socket's ability to stably perform its various functions.

[0100] A cover 26 is provided on the front side of the lower mounting cavity 7. This cover 26 is fixedly connected to the sidewalls of the lower mounting cavity 7. This creates a restriction on the front side of the power strip, while the rear side of the power strip is restricted by the bottom of the lower mounting cavity 7. This fixed connection allows the cover to remain firmly in place at the front side of the lower mounting cavity. The restriction it creates on the front side of the power strip, combined with the restriction of the rear side of the power strip by the bottom of the lower mounting cavity 7, creates a "fixed frame" for the power strip in the front-to-back direction. This secures the power strip's position in the front-to-back direction, preventing it from easily moving back and forth, further enhancing its stability within the overall socket structure.

[0101] As a key component for achieving electrical connections between multiple components, the stability of the power strip is directly related to the proper operation of the entire circuit system. Dually constrained by the cover 26 and the bottom of the lower mounting cavity, the power strip remains in place even when the socket is subjected to external forces such as vibration, collision, or daily plugging and unplugging. This ensures a reliable connection with the first and second copper members, as well as the various conductive wires and connection strips, thus ensuring stable power transmission and the proper functioning of various functions.

[0102] The first circuit board 8 is provided with a USB connector 27 and a Type-C connector 28. These two different types of interfaces can meet the charging needs of many electronic devices on the market. Nowadays, various smartphones, tablets, smart wearable devices, etc. mostly use USB interfaces or the more advanced Type-C interfaces for charging and data transmission. The provision of these two interfaces on the wall switch socket means that users no longer need to look for additional charging adapters. They can easily charge their devices by simply plugging the corresponding charging cable of the device directly into the corresponding interface, which greatly improves the convenience of charging and makes the socket a convenient charging "hub" that better adapts to the diverse electronic device usage habits of modern people.

[0103] The second circuit board 12 houses the voice control module. It integrates an advanced voice recognition chip and a microphone array, a combination that provides a solid technical foundation for accurately recognizing user voice commands. The microphone array collects sound signals from multiple directions, enhancing voice reception and reducing interference from ambient noise. The advanced voice recognition chip, using complex algorithms, quickly and accurately analyzes and recognizes the collected voice signals, converting them into corresponding control commands.

[0104] With this voice control module, users can remotely control various home appliances, including lighting, fans, and air conditioners. In the past, people needed to walk to an appliance or find the corresponding remote control to operate it. Now, simply issuing clear and specific commands such as "Turn on the living room lights" or "Turn off the bedroom fan" can easily complete the corresponding operation without any physical contact. This remote voice control method not only brings great operational convenience to users, especially when hands are inconvenient or the appliance is far away, but also enhances home safety to a certain extent. For example, it avoids the safety hazards such as bumps and collisions caused by groping for switches in the dark, and also reduces the risk of electric shock caused by frequently touching appliance switches.

[0105] An isolation plate 29 is provided between the left and right mounting grooves 13 , and a slot 30 corresponding to the isolation plate 29 is provided on the power board 20 . The slot 30 runs through the front, rear and upper sides of the power board 20 .

[0106] One end of the charging data cable 10 is fixedly connected to the cable reel 9 , and the other end of the charging data cable 10 is a movable end and is connected to a plug connector 38 . A placement groove 39 for placing the plug connector 38 is provided on the front side of the box cover 2 .

[0107] Cable reel 9 structure: The cable reel 9 typically has a housing, the shape of which is generally adapted to fit within the right mounting cavity 4. A cable outlet is provided on the housing, through which the charging data cable 10 extends. The core of the reel is the reel, a key component that enables the cable reel to store data. One end of the data cable 10 is fixed to the reel. When the user stretches the data cable, the reel rotates, releasing the data cable from the outlet in the housing. The cable reel 9 also contains a spring mechanism. The spring is a key component that provides the power for the data cable to automatically retract. When the user stretches the data cable, the spring stretches and stores elastic potential energy. One end of the spring is fixed to a fixed position on the reel or housing, and the other end is connected to a component that moves as the reel rotates. When the user stops stretching the data cable, the spring, driven by the elastic potential energy, causes the reel to rotate in the opposite direction, automatically retracting the data cable into the reel. The cable reel 9 requires an electrical connection to the power board 20 to obtain power for charging external devices. It may be connected via a connection to a second terminal bar 32 on the terminal board.

[0108] The edge of the front end of the bottom box 1 is fixedly connected with a metal frame 40, and the front side of the box cover 2 is provided with a panel 41, which is fixedly connected to the metal frame 40.

[0109] The cover 26 is provided with a hole corresponding to the plug-in portion 23 .

[0110] Working principle:

[0111] External power supply: The network cable is connected through the cable entry hole 14 in the bottom mounting slot 13 of the lower mounting cavity 7 of the bottom box 1, and then into the wiring slot 17 of the annular first copper member 16 within the mounting slot 13. The cable is secured by tightening the fixing bolt 19. The first copper member 16 fits tightly with the second copper member, and the power connection portion 22 of the second copper member is also secured by the fixing bolt 19, thus connecting the network cable to the second copper member.

[0112] Power Distribution: The power strip 20 is located at the bottom of the lower mounting cavity 7, fitting snugly against the bottom and confining the first copper member 16 within the mounting slot 13. Power strips extend from the power strip 20 to the first circuit board 8, the second circuit board 12, and the cable reel 9, providing electrical connections. Power from the network cables is transmitted to the power strip 20 via the first copper member 16 and the second copper member. The power strips on the power strip 20 then distribute the power to the various components.

[0113] Function of the first circuit board 8: The first circuit board 8 is installed in the left mounting cavity 3 and is plugged into and fixed to the slots on the upper and lower walls of the left mounting cavity 3. It begins operation after receiving power from the power strip of the power strip 20. If a voice control function is provided, the relevant circuits on the first circuit board 8 will process the voice signal. For example, when a user issues a voice command, the microphone (if any) converts the sound signal into an electrical signal. The chip on the first circuit board 8 identifies and decodes these electrical signals, controlling the on / off state of the socket or adjusting other functional parameters based on the content of the command. At the same time, the USB connector 27 and Type-C plug connector 28 on the first circuit board 8 can provide charging interfaces for external devices. The internal circuit distributes the received power to these interfaces to charge the devices at the appropriate voltage and current.

[0114] Function of the second circuit board 12: The second circuit board 12 is mounted within the second mounting cavity 11 on the inner side of the lid 2 and is constrained in the front-to-back direction by the lid 2 and the base box 1. After receiving power from the power strip on the power strip 20, the second circuit board 12 begins operation. Its voice control module integrates a voice recognition chip and a microphone array, enabling accurate recognition of user voice commands and remote voice control of home appliances such as lighting, fans, and air conditioners. Upon receiving a voice command, the voice recognition chip processes the voice signal and converts it into a control signal. This control signal is then transmitted to the corresponding appliance via wireless communication (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.) or other means (such as a wired connection to a home automation system), enabling remote control. Furthermore, the second circuit board 12 may also control the charging function of the outlet itself, for example, identifying the type of device connected to the outlet and adjusting charging parameters.

[0115] Working Principle of the Cable Reel 9: The cable reel 9 is located in the right mounting cavity 4 and receives power from the second power strip 32 of the power board 20. The cable reel 9 contains a reel and a spring mechanism. When the user stretches the charging data cable 10, the reel begins to rotate, stretching the spring and storing elastic potential energy. One end of the data cable 10 is fixed to the reel. As the reel rotates, the data cable is pulled out of the cable outlet of the cable reel 9 housing. When the user stops stretching, the reel reverses direction due to the elastic potential energy of the spring, automatically retracting the charging data cable 10 into the cable reel 9.

[0116] Charging process of the charging data cable 10: The charging data cable 10 is connected to the cord reel 9. When the external device is connected to the socket via the data cable, the second circuit board 12 will provide the device with appropriate charging voltage and current through the cord reel 9 and the data cable according to the needs of the device. For example, for a mobile phone that supports the fast charging protocol, the socket will quickly charge the mobile phone through the data cable according to the fast charging standard required by the mobile phone, such as Qualcomm's QuickCharge or Huawei's SuperCharge. At the same time, the other end of the charging data cable 10 is an active end and is connected to a plug connector 38. A placement slot 39 for placing the plug connector 38 is provided on the front side of the box cover 2. When not in use, the plug connector 38 can be placed in the placement slot 39, and when in use, it will be taken out and connected to the device for charging.

[0117] The second circuit board 12 and the first circuit board 8 can communicate with each other.

[0118] Core components and principles of the voice control module:

[0119] The voice control module integrates an advanced voice recognition chip and a microphone array. Their collaborative work is key to accurate voice command recognition. The voice recognition chip uses advanced algorithms and deep learning techniques to process the sound signals collected by the microphone array. The microphone array can capture sound from multiple angles. By capturing information such as the time and intensity differences between different microphones, it not only enhances voice signal capture but also effectively filters out ambient noise interference, allowing it to accurately extract the user's voice commands.

[0120] Functional advantages and convenience:

[0121] Users only need to issue simple commands such as "turn on the living room lights" or "turn off the bedroom fan" in natural language to remotely control the corresponding electrical appliances in their home, without having to walk to the appliances or find the corresponding remote controls for manual operation as in traditional methods. This contactless control method greatly improves the convenience of operation, especially when your hands are busy, you are far away from the appliances, or the ambient light is dim. From the perspective of home safety, it avoids safety risks such as bumps and electric shocks caused by groping for switches or plugging in and out electrical plugs in the dark, creating a safer and more comfortable home environment for users.

[0122] USB retractable data cable design, retractable mechanism features and advantages:

[0123] Its built-in retractable mechanism is a clever design. When not in use, the data cable can be completely stored inside the switch panel, giving the entire switch panel a neat appearance without the clutter caused by traditional exposed data cables. It also protects the data cable from long-term exposure to dust, liquids, and damage caused by accidental pulling. When the user needs to charge, a simple pull will extend the data cable smoothly, and the length can be freely adjusted according to the actual usage scenario. Whether the device is placed close to the switch panel or slightly further away, the appropriate data cable length can be obtained on demand, effectively solving the inconvenience of traditional fixed cable lengths that cannot flexibly adapt to different usage distances.

[0124] Multi-protocol fast charging support, protocol compatibility and automatic adaptation functions:

[0125] The USB port supports multiple mainstream fast-charging protocols, including QC3.0, PD3.0, AFC, and SCP, making it compatible with almost all fast-charging-capable electronic devices on the market. The built-in intelligent recognition system automatically detects the type of connected device and its charging requirements, then accurately provides the most appropriate charging power based on the fast-charging protocol supported by the device. For example, when connecting a mobile phone that supports the QC3.0 protocol, the socket will output the corresponding high voltage and high current according to the protocol standard, putting the phone into fast-charging mode; when connecting a tablet that supports the PD3.0 protocol, it can switch to charging parameters suitable for the tablet, fully unleashing the fast-charging potential of different devices.

[0126] Intelligent identification and security protection, the role of intelligent identification chips:

[0127] The built-in intelligent identification chip plays a key role in ensuring safety. It can quickly and accurately identify the type of connected device and automatically adjust the output voltage and current based on the device's electrical characteristics. For example, for low-power smart wearable devices, it will output lower voltage and current to ensure safe charging; while for high-power devices such as laptops, it will increase the output power accordingly to meet their charging needs. This precise adjustment mechanism not only ensures normal charging of the device, but also effectively prevents overcharging caused by mismatched charging parameters, thereby avoiding the risk of battery swelling, damage, and even safety accidents.

[0128] Multiple security mechanisms guarantee:

[0129] In addition to intelligently adjusting output parameters, switches and sockets are also equipped with multiple safety mechanisms, including over-temperature protection, over-current protection, and lightning protection. If the socket overheats during use, perhaps due to prolonged charging or excessively high ambient temperatures, the over-temperature protection mechanism will automatically activate, reducing output power or cutting off the power supply to prevent safety hazards such as fires caused by high temperatures. Over-current protection takes effect when the current in the circuit exceeds the safety threshold, promptly cutting off the current to prevent damage to the device and the socket itself due to excessive current. Lightning protection can effectively block the instantaneous high voltage and high current generated by lightning from impacting the socket and connected devices during thunderstorms, comprehensively protecting the user's personal safety and the safety of their equipment, allowing users to use the switch and socket with confidence.

[0130] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
