Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a tower power strip equipped with a removable protective cover, and more specifically, to a tower power strip that can be placed on a table, desk, or other similar fixture in a home or office, or erected on the floor. When supplying power to various electronic devices, it minimizes the exposure of the plugs at the ends of the power cords of the electronic devices, thus protecting the connection points of the electronic devices, improving the aesthetics of the tower power strip, facilitating the organization of the power cords, and minimizing the overall size of the tower power strip. Background Technology

[0002] With the influence of industrialization and technological development, various types of electrical and electronic equipment (hereinafter referred to as "electrical and electronic equipment") have become widely used. As a means of obtaining and distributing output from sockets embedded in the walls of offices or residential buildings, various types of power strips have been used.

[0003] These power strips are mostly designed with multiple sockets for distributing AC power in a single housing. They are mainly used on indoor and outdoor floors, so there is a high risk of electric shock when the floor is wet.

[0004] To address the issues of electric shock accidents associated with traditional power strips and to power various types of electrical and electronic devices such as mobile phones and PCs, a vertical power strip has been proposed. Related existing technologies include the "vertical power strip" in Publication No. 20-2012-0000749 (Reference 1) and the "power strip" in Patent Registration No. 10-1963977 (Reference 2). These vertical power strips (or sockets) proposed in References 1 and 2 are all vertical structures designed for upright use; therefore, even when placed on the floor, they can prevent electric shock accidents caused by moisture infiltration.

[0005] However, the traditional vertical power strips proposed in the above references 1 and 2 have plugs or other electrical and electronic devices that are directly exposed when connected, making it difficult to tidy up the area around the vertical power strip and reducing its aesthetic appeal. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a tower-type power strip equipped with a removable protective cover, which minimizes the exposure of the plug after connecting the plug for powering electrical and electronic equipment, thereby not only improving the aesthetics, but also minimizing the size of the power strip and making it have a compact structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide a tower-type power strip that, when water is splashed onto the power strip, not only reduces the risk of short circuits or electric shocks, but also facilitates the organization of power cords for electrical and electronic equipment. Additionally, the protective cover is easy to install and remove, and the power strip is stably supported on the tower body.

[0008] To address the aforementioned technical challenges, this invention proposes:

[0009] The invention includes: a tower-type body, which has a columnar structure and is equipped with multiple sockets that distribute the main power supplied by a power plug as AC mains power; a protective cover, which is detachably disposed on the tower-type body; wherein, the front half of the tower-type body is provided with multiple internal sockets at certain intervals on both sides centered at the front corner, and the rear half of the tower-type body is provided with multiple external sockets at certain intervals on one side centered at the rear corner; the lower end of the tower-type body protrudes forward and is provided with a base that can stably support it on the ground; the protective cover has a receiving space formed inside, which covers the front half of the tower-type body at a distance, and has a wall portion with an opening at the rear, a closing portion that closes the upper end of the wall portion, and a support portion provided above the opening and having a support hole for the upper end of the tower-type body to be inserted; thereby providing a tower-type power strip equipped with a detachable protective cover.

[0010] At this time, a step is formed on the upper side of the rear half of the tower body, and a protruding support protrusion is provided on the upper part of the base protruding in front of the tower body. When the protective cover is fixed to the tower body, the upper end of the tower body is inserted into the support hole, and the lower end of the support is supported on the step formed on the upper side of the rear half of the tower body. A support groove is formed in the center of the lower end of the protective cover wall to support the support protrusion on the upper part of the tower body base that protrudes upward.

[0011] Furthermore, when the protective cover is fixed to the tower body, in order to facilitate the insertion of the upper end of the tower body into the support hole, a guide groove is provided at the lower part of the closed part. The guide groove is formed by a guide protrusion protruding downward in the direction of the receiving space, which is used to guide the front corner of the tower body.

[0012] Furthermore, when the protective cover is fixed to the tower body, a power cord passage space is formed between the lower end of the wall constituting the protective cover and both sides of the base. When the plug of an electrical or electronic device is connected to the internal socket of the tower body, the power cord of the electrical or electronic device can pass through this power cord passage space.

[0013] Furthermore, the rear half of the tower body is equipped with multiple USB sockets, spaced vertically. These sockets are powered by converting the main power supplied via the power plug into DC USB power. A main power switch for turning the main power supplied via the power plug on / off is located on the front of the base. The tower body includes: a power distribution unit that converts the main power supplied via the power plug into AC mains power and DC USB power, and distributes it to multiple internal and external sockets; a tilt sensing unit that generates a tilt signal if the tower body is tilted beyond a set angle when it is in an upright position; and a control unit that outputs a warning sound via a buzzer when a tilt signal is detected, and shuts off the control switch if a tilt signal is still input from the tilt sensing unit within a set time, thereby cutting off the main power supplied to the power distribution unit.

[0014] According to the present invention, after the plug of the electrical and electronic equipment is connected to the internal socket located in the front half of the tower body, the protective cover is supported (or fixed), so that the internal socket is not exposed, thereby preventing or minimizing the direct exposure of messy plugs and power cords, avoiding aesthetic degradation, and keeping the appearance of the power strip simple. Furthermore, even if it is further connected to the external socket in the rear half of the tower power strip, the rear half of the tower power strip will not be directly exposed to the user's naked eye, thus minimizing the aesthetic degradation caused by exposed electrical and electronic equipment wires. With this structure, the protective cover only covers the front half of the tower body, avoiding the problem of the tower power strip being too large when covering the rear half.

[0015] Furthermore, according to the present invention, a step is formed on the upper side of the rear half of the tower body, and a protruding support protrusion is provided on the upper part of the base protruding in front of the tower body. When the protective cover is supported on the tower body, it will not shake or separate on the tower body, but can maintain a stable support state. Moreover, by providing the guide protrusion of the protective cover, the front corner of the tower body can be easily guided and supported, while preventing the protective cover from separating and falling off along the horizontal direction of the tower body.

[0016] Furthermore, the tower-type power strip according to the present invention not only prevents the risk of fire during use or charging of various electrical appliances, smartphones, etc. connected and used when the user is away, but also cuts off power when tilted, thus having a good energy-saving effect.

[0024] The tower-type power strip equipped with a removable protective cover according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configuration shown in the drawings are merely one preferred embodiment of the present invention and do not fully represent the technical concept of the present invention. Therefore, at the time of this application, various alternative equivalents and modifications may exist for these configurations.

[0025] Figures 1 to 7 The accompanying drawings are shown to illustrate a tower-type power strip equipped with a removable protective cover according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] Accordingly, the tower-type power strip (1) equipped with a detachable protective cover of the present invention has a vertical structure and can be placed on top of tables, desks, etc. in homes or offices, or used upright on the floor, and can power various electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and PCs. It consists of a tower-type body (100) with a columnar structure and a protective cover (200) detachably disposed on the tower-type body (100).

[0027] At this time, the tower body (100) is a columnar structure, and the tower body (100) is provided with: multiple sockets (102) that distribute the main power supplied by the power supply plug (101) as AC mains power; multiple USB sockets (103) that supply power by converting the main power supplied by the power supply plug (101) into DC USB power; and a main power switch (104) for turning on or off the main power supplied by the power supply plug (101).

[0028] Of course, a power distribution unit (105) is also provided on the tower body (100) for distributing the main power supplied through the power supply plug (101). Through the power distribution unit (105), the main power is distributed to multiple sockets (102) after being distributed in AC mode, and the main power supplied through the power supply plug (101) is converted to DC power and distributed to multiple USB sockets (103).

[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0030] First, in one embodiment, the tower body (100) is a longitudinally extending rectangular columnar structure, more specifically, it is a roughly rhomboid structure with a cross-section that is symmetrical from left to right, with the front corner (110) and rear corner (120) protruding forward and backward as the center, and its front half and rear half having a symmetrical structure from left to right.

[0031] Furthermore, a base (130) protrudes forward from the lower end of the tower body (100) to provide stable support on the ground. The base (130) is integrally formed during the molding of the tower body (100), and it also has a rhomboid structure with a symmetrical cross-section. Of course, the base (130) has a larger cross-sectional area than the tower body (100) to ensure stable support on the ground and presents a structure that protrudes further forward than the tower body (100).

[0032] The tower body (100) is provided with multiple sockets (102) for powering various electrical and electronic devices and USB sockets (103). The base (130) has a main power switch (104) at the center of the front side, which controls the supply and disconnection of the main power supply via a power plug (101) and a power cord (101a). At this time, the sockets (102) include multiple internal sockets (102a) that are not exposed when the protective cover (200) is fixed to the tower body (100), and multiple external sockets (102b) that are exposed.

[0033] More specifically, in the front half of the tower body (100), a plurality of internal sockets (102a) are provided at certain intervals on both sides, centered on the front corner (110); in the rear half of the tower body (100), a plurality of external sockets (102b) are provided at certain intervals on one side, centered on the rear corner (120), and a plurality of USB sockets (103) are provided at certain intervals on the other side, centered on the rear corner (120).

[0034] As shown in the figure, with three internal sockets (102a) on each of the upper and lower sides of the front half of the tower body (100) and three external sockets (102b) on each of the upper and lower sides of one side of the rear half, a maximum of nine electrical and electronic device plugs can be connected. Of course, two sockets (102) can also be provided on each of the upper and lower sides of one side, for a maximum of six. The number can vary depending on the size of the tower power strip (1), and such design changes are also within the scope of the present invention.

[0035] According to this structure, when the protective cover (200) is fixed to the tower body (100), the internal socket (102a) will not be exposed, while the external socket (102b) and the USB socket (103) will be exposed.

[0036] Therefore, the protective cover (200) covers the front half of the tower body (100) at a distance, so that even if water is sprayed on the outside of the tower power strip (1), the protective cover (200) can prevent it from flowing into the front half of the tower body (100), which helps to prevent safety accidents; and even if plugs of electrical and electronic devices are connected to the internal socket (102a), it can prevent the plugs and power cords that are connected in a messy way from being directly exposed, thereby avoiding a decline in aesthetics and keeping the appearance of the power strip simple and easy to manage.

[0037] Furthermore, even in the tower power strip (1), in addition to connecting the plugs or terminals of electrical and electronic devices to the internal socket (102a), various electrical and electronic devices can be further connected to the external socket (102b) and USB socket (103) as needed. Since the external socket (102b) and USB socket (103) are located in the rear half of the tower body (100), when the user places the tower power strip (1) on a table or other side for use, the rear half of the tower power strip (1) will not be directly exposed to the user's naked eye. Therefore, the aesthetic degradation caused by the exposed wires of electrical and electronic devices can be minimized.

[0038] Of course, the socket (102) and USB socket (103) can be arranged in various combinations at different locations on the tower body (100) as needed. Furthermore, the USB socket (103) is used to supply DC power to electrical and electronic devices. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is typically classified into USB Type-A, USB Type-B, and USB Type-C based on its form factor. Therefore, multiple different types of USB sockets (103) can be arranged on the tower body (100) in various combinations as needed.

[0039] In addition to being a square columnar structure, the tower body (100) can also be a triangular prism, pentagonal prism, hexagonal prism, or other columnar structures. Such variations in shape naturally fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0040] Furthermore, the tower body (100) is equipped with a reset button (not shown) that can be reset in case of overcurrent interruption. When an overcurrent supplied to the load causes the main power supply to be interrupted, the user can press the button after a certain period of time (e.g., 30 minutes) to restore the normal state and regain the main power supply. This overcurrent interruption and reset function is a generally known function, so it will not be described in detail.

[0041] A step (121) is formed on the upper side of the rear half of the tower body (100), and a protruding support protrusion (131) is provided on the upper part of the forward-protruding base (130). The advantage of the step (121) and the support protrusion (131) is that when the protective cover (200) is fixed to the tower body (100), the protective cover (200) will not wobble or separate on the tower body (100), but can maintain a stable supported state.

[0042] On the other hand, the protective cover (200) has a structure that covers the front half of the tower body (100) and maintains a certain distance, and is detachably installed on the tower body (100). The protective cover (200) has a receiving space (202) inside, which covers the front half of the tower body (100) and maintains a distance; a wall portion (210) with an opening (211) formed at the rear; a closing portion (220) that closes the upper end of the wall portion (210); and a support portion (230) provided above the opening (211) and having a support hole (231) for the upper end of the tower body (100) to be inserted.

[0043] Therefore, when the protective cover (200) is fixed to the tower body (100), the upper end of the tower body (100) is inserted into the support hole (231) formed by the support part (230) and the protective cover (200) is moved down. Then, the lower end of the support part (230) is supported on the step (121) formed on the upper side of the rear half of the tower body (100). That is, when the upper end of the tower body (100) is inserted into the support hole (231) formed in the support part (230) of the protective cover (200) and the protective cover (200) is moved down, the lower end of the support part (230) is supported on the step (121). This not only prevents the protective cover (200) from moving down further and causing damage, but also prevents the protective cover (200) from separating and falling off along the horizontal direction of the tower body (100).

[0044] When the protective cover (200) is fixed to the tower body (100), in order to facilitate the insertion of the upper end of the tower body (100) into the support hole (231), a guide protrusion (240) protruding downward toward the receiving space (202) is provided at the lower part of the closure (220). A guide groove (242) is formed on the guide protrusion (240) for guiding the front corner (110) of the tower body (100). According to this structure, when the protective cover (200) is moved down in order to insert the upper end of the tower body (100) into the support hole (231), the front corner (110) of the tower body (100) contacts and is guided by the guide groove (242) of the guide protrusion (240) protruding from the lower end of the closure (220), so that the protective cover (200) can move down stably along the tower body (100). In particular, the protective cover (200) covers and supports the rear corner (120) of the tower body (100) by the support (230), and guides and supports the front corner (110) of the tower body (100) by the guide groove (242) formed by the guide protrusion (240), thereby making it more effective in preventing the protective cover (200) from separating and falling off in the horizontal direction of the tower body (100).

[0045] Furthermore, a support groove (212) is formed at the center of the lower end of the wall portion (210) of the protective cover (200), which is supported on the support protrusion (131) on the upwardly protruding base (130) of the tower-shaped body (100). When the upper end of the tower-shaped body (100) is inserted into the support hole (231) of the support portion (230) formed on the rear side of the upper part of the protective cover (200) and the protective cover (200) is moved down, the lower end of the support portion (230) is supported on the step (121), and at the same time, the support protrusion (131) of the base (130) is supported in the support groove (212) formed at the center of the lower end of the wall portion (210) of the protective cover (200), so that the protective cover (200) will not shake and can maintain a stable fixed state.

[0046] Furthermore, when the protective cover (200) is fixed to the tower body (100), a power cord passage space (S) is formed (or ensured) between the lower end of the wall portion (210) constituting the protective cover (200) and both sides of the base (130). When the plug of an electrical or electronic device is connected to the internal socket (102a) of the tower body (100), the power cord of the electrical or electronic device connected to the power plug can pass through the power cord passage space (S). With this structure, when the plugs of multiple electrical or electronic devices are connected to the internal socket (102a), the power plugs will not be exposed, thereby minimizing or preventing aesthetic degradation, and all power cords are exposed through the lower part, which facilitates the organization of power cords.

[0047] Furthermore, when the protective cover (200) is fixed to the tower body (100), the internal socket (102a) located in the front half of the tower body (100) will not be exposed, thus preventing dust and foreign objects from entering; while the external socket (102b) and USB socket (103) located in the rear half of the tower body (100) will be exposed, but overall, when the user places the tower power strip (1) on a table or other place for use, the rear half of the tower body (100) faces the edge or corner of the table, thus minimizing exposure, and the protective cover (200) only covers the front half of the tower body (100), thus avoiding the problem of excessive size that may occur when covering the rear half.

[0048] On the other hand, the power distribution unit (105) distributes the main power supplied through the power supply plug (101) connected to the wall socket or the like—AC 220V household power—to the socket (102), USB socket (103), etc. At this time, the main power supplied through the power supply plug (101) is the same as the mains power supplied to the socket (102), both being AC 220V.

[0049] The power distribution unit (105) distributes the main power supply to multiple sockets (102) in the form of AC 220V household power, and transforms and rectifies the main power supply, for example, converting it into DC 5V USB power, and then distributes it to multiple USB sockets (103).

[0050] The aforementioned power distribution unit (105) may include a typical small SMPS (switching power supply) and may convert the main power supply into AC and DC power supplies of various levels through the SMPS.

[0051] On the other hand, a control switch (106) capable of switching the main power supplied to the power distribution unit (105) on and off is provided at the input terminal of the power distribution unit (105). The control switch (106) switches on and off according to the control signal of the control unit (107), thereby supplying or cutting off the main power to the power distribution unit (105). At this time, the control switch (106) may be composed of semiconductor switching elements, relays, and various other switches, and the main power supplied to the power distribution unit (150) can be controlled by controlling these switching elements or relays.

[0052] The control unit (107) may be, for example, a microcontroller (micom) that is powered and driven by an adapter (108) that has transformer and rectification functions and is used to convert the main power supplied via the power supply plug (101) into a drive power supply; the adapter (108) is built into the tower body (100).

[0053] Furthermore, the tower body (100) is equipped with a buzzer (109), and a tilt sensing unit (113) is also provided inside the tower body (100). When the tower body (100) is in an upright state and tilts beyond a set angle, a tilt signal is generated and input to the control unit (107). The tilt sensing unit (113) is preferably composed of a tilt sensor, but it can also be composed of various forms of tilt switches. Such design changes are within the scope of the present invention.

[0054] Thus, when the control unit (107) receives a tilt signal from the tilt sensing unit (113), it outputs a warning sound via a buzzer (109). The purpose is to remind the user to use the tower power strip (1) correctly vertically.

[0055] Furthermore, if the control unit (107) outputs a warning sound through the buzzer (109), and if a tilt detection signal is still input from the tilt sensing unit (113) within a set time (e.g., 1 minute), the control switch (106) is placed in the off state, cutting off the main power supply to the power distribution unit (105), and at the same time, an additional warning sound is output through the buzzer (109).

[0056] This not only prevents the risk of fire from various electrical appliances and smartphones connected to the tower power strip (1) and in use or charging when the user is away, but also saves energy by cutting off power when the power is switched off in the tilted position.

[0057] The following is for reference Figures 1 to 7 An example of using a tower-type power strip equipped with a removable protective cover according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0058] In order to use the tower power strip (1) of the present invention equipped with a removable protective cover, the power supply plug (101) needs to be connected to an indoor wall socket or a multi-functional socket placed on the floor.

[0059] Subsequently, plugs of electronic devices such as laptops, desktop humidifiers, and audio equipment that require AC power are plugged into the internal and external sockets (102a, 102b) of the tower body (100), and USB connectors of smartphones and other devices that require USB power are plugged into the USB socket (103), and then the protective cover (200) is fixed.

[0060] In this state, operate the main power switch (104) to turn on the main power to the power distribution unit (105). The power distribution unit (105) then distributes the mains power and USB power to the socket (102) and the USB socket (103).

[0061] On the other hand, when the main power switch (104) is operated to turn on the main power, the main power is also supplied to the adapter (108). The adapter (108) converts the main power into drive power and provides it to the control unit (107), thereby driving the control unit (107) and detecting the tilt signal from the tilt sensing unit (113) of the tower body (100). The tilt signal is input to the control unit (107).

[0062] Therefore, when the control unit (107) receives a tilt detection signal through the tilt sensing unit (113), it outputs a warning sound through the buzzer (109) to remind the user to use the tower power strip (1) correctly vertically; then, even if a tilt detection signal is still received from the tilt sensing unit (113) within a set time (e.g., 1 minute), the control switch (106) is turned off to cut off the main power supply to the power distribution unit (105), and a warning sound is output through the buzzer (109) at the same time.

[0063] Of course, when it is necessary to disconnect the plug of the electrical and electronic equipment connected to the socket (102a) inside the tower body (100) of the tower power strip (1) of the present invention, the protective cover (200) can be removed from the tower body (100) to expose the front half of the tower body (100) before disconnecting the plug of the electrical and electronic equipment.

[0064] The above description is merely an illustrative representation of the technical concept of this invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the essence of this invention. The scope of protection of this invention should be interpreted according to the following claims, and all technical concepts within their equivalent scope should be included within the scope of this invention.

[0065] Industrial application possibilities

[0066] This invention provides a tower power strip equipped with a removable protective cover. After the plug of an electronic device is connected to an internal socket located in the front half of the tower body, a protective cover prevents the internal socket from being exposed, thus preventing or minimizing the direct exposure of messy plugs and power cords and avoiding aesthetic degradation. Furthermore, since the protective cover only covers the front half of the tower body, it avoids the problem of an excessively large tower power strip that might result from covering the rear half. This invention relates to a tower power strip with a removable protective cover that allows for safe use.
