Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of angled plug-in power strips, and more specifically to an angled plug-in power strip. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, existing power strips require the user to use additional ropes to secure the power cords during storage, making storage inconvenient. Furthermore, when the plug is inserted into a portable power outlet, such as a power strip or socket, the outlet or socket must be placed on a fixed surface, and the plug itself cannot be suspended. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes an inclined plug-in power strip, which solves the shortcomings of existing power strips that require the operator to use additional ropes to secure the power cord during storage, making storage inconvenient, and when the plug is plugged into a movable power outlet, such as a power strip or socket, the power strip or socket needs to be placed on a fixed surface, as the plug itself cannot be suspended.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A tilted plug-in power strip includes: a socket, a plug, and a conductive wire. One end of the conductive wire is connected to the socket, and the other end is connected to the plug. The socket has an tilted working surface. One end of the plug is provided with a conductive post, and the other end of the plug is provided with a plug-in plate. The outer edge of the plug-in plate is provided with a groove, and a pull ring is mounted on the groove. The pull ring includes a detachable rigid shell and a pair of ends. An extendable tension rib is provided in the rigid shell. A pivot head is provided on the inner side of each pair of ends, and a pivot is provided between the pair of pivot heads. The two ends of the tension rib are respectively connected to the pair of ends.

[0005] This invention features a detachable rigid outer shell. By removing the rigid shell and pulling the tension ribs, the conductive wires, socket, and plug can be bound together. Furthermore, when the plug is inserted into a portable power outlet, pulling up the pull ring allows the plug itself to be suspended from a wall hook or other high position off the ground using the pull ring or tension ribs.

[0006] Optionally, the working surface is equipped with a power switch, a power socket, and a USB port. When stored, the plug can be inserted into the power socket to save space.

[0007] Optionally, the tension rib includes an elastic rib and an elastic cover, with the elastic cover covering the outer surface of the elastic rib; a torsion spring is installed between the rotating head and the crossbar, the torsion spring being used to keep the pull ring in an inclined position. In this invention, the torsion spring is used to keep the pull ring in an inclined position, preventing difficulty in removing the pull ring when no power is applied. The elastic rib can be stretched and wrapped around the conductive post of the plug, making it easy for the plug to be inserted into the power socket and preventing it from easily falling off.

[0008] Optionally, a counterweight plate is provided inside the elastic rib located in the middle of the pull ring.

[0009] Optionally, a permanent magnet is provided inside the elastic rib located in the middle of the pull ring.

[0010] Optionally, the elastic cover is provided with protruding ribs, and a counterweight iron piece is provided on the side of the protruding rib located in the middle of the pull ring near the plug plate. The protruding ribs are elastic. The protruding ribs of the present invention increase the friction of the tension ribs on the one hand, and also play a buffering role on the other hand, making it easier to snap the plug into the inner wall of the power socket. The counterweight iron piece also plays a counterweight role, making it easier for the pull ring to fit tightly against the bottom surface of the groove.

[0011] Optionally, the elastic cover is provided with protruding ribs, and a permanent magnet is provided on the side of the protruding rib located in the middle of the pull ring near the plug plate. The protruding ribs are elastic.

[0012] Optionally, the plug is provided with a support plate, the support plate including an extension piece and an arc-shaped retaining piece, a crossbar connecting the retaining pieces, the crossbar having an axial hole for easy installation of the rotating head and the rotating shaft, a fixing frame being provided below the extension piece, the fixing frame having insertion holes on both sides for easy installation of conductive posts, and a conductive wire being connected to one end of the conductive post.

[0013] Optionally, the rotating shaft is made of an insulating and thermally conductive material, and a fan-shaped heat-conducting plate is provided on the rotating shaft. The size of the heat-conducting plate on the side closer to the rotating shaft is smaller than the size on the side farther from the rotating shaft. The top and bottom surfaces of the end are covered with a heat-sensitive color-changing part, which is made of a heat-sensitive color-changing material and extends from the top to the bottom to form a U-shaped surface. The insulating and thermally conductive material and heat-conducting plate of this invention are used to conduct heat from inside the plug to the heat-sensitive color-changing part. Through the heat-sensitive color-changing part, when the plug is short-circuited and heats up, it can transfer heat to the surface of the plug earlier, making it easier for the operator to observe the heating status of the plug. The fan-shaped heat-conducting plate has a large heat transfer area and good heat transfer effect, and the U-shaped heat-sensitive color-changing part allows the operator to observe the heat-sensitive color-changing part regardless of whether the pull ring is folded or pulled up.

[0014] Optionally, the extension piece is provided with multiple pairs of clips for fixing the conductive wires.

[0015] Optionally, the front end of the crossbar is provided with a front component containing a battery. An electromagnet is provided on the bottom surface of the groove, which generates magnetic force to attract a counterweight iron plate or permanent magnet when energized. A toggle block is provided at the bottom of the end, and a fixing plate is provided on the fixing frame. A first micro switch is provided on one side of the fixing plate, and a spring is connected to the fixing plate. A movable plate is mounted on the end of the spring away from the fixing plate. When the pull ring is laid flat, the toggle block pushes the movable plate to actuate the first micro switch. The electromagnet, the first micro switch, and the battery are connected in series to form a closed circuit. This invention achieves this by having the toggle block push the movable plate to actuate the first micro switch when the pull ring is laid flat, and by having the electromagnet, the first micro switch, and the battery connected in series to form a closed circuit. The magnet generates magnetic force to attract a counterweight iron plate or permanent magnet when energized, allowing the pull ring to adhere to the groove surface of the plug when not in use.

[0016] Optionally, the plug-in plate is mounted on the plug via a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention features a detachable rigid outer shell. By removing the rigid shell and pulling the tension rib, the conductive wire, socket, and plug can be bound together. Furthermore, when the plug is inserted into a portable power outlet, pulling up the pull ring allows the plug itself to be suspended from a wall hook or other high position off the ground using the pull ring or tension rib.

[0018] 2. When storing the device, the plug can be inserted into a power outlet to save space.

[0019] 3. In this invention, the torsion spring is used to keep the pull ring at an angle, preventing it from being difficult to pull out when no power is on. The elastic rib can be stretched and wrapped around the conductive post of the plug, making it easy for the plug to be inserted into the power socket and preventing it from easily falling off.

[0020] 4. The protruding ribs of this invention increase the friction of the tension ribs and also act as a buffer, facilitating the insertion of the plug into the inner wall of the power socket. The counterweight also acts as a counterweight, ensuring the pull ring fits snugly against the bottom surface of the groove.

[0021] 5. The insulating and thermally conductive material and heat-conducting sheet of this invention are used to conduct heat from inside the plug to the heat-sensitive color-changing part. The heat-sensitive color-changing part changes color when heated, allowing the heat to be transferred to the plug surface earlier when the plug is short-circuited and heating up, making it easier for the operator to observe the heating status. The fan-shaped heat-conducting sheet has a large heat transfer area and good heat transfer effect, and the U-shaped heat-sensitive color-changing part ensures that the operator can observe the heat-sensitive color-changing part regardless of whether the pull ring is folded or pulled up.

[0022] 6. In this invention, when the pull ring is laid flat, the toggle pushes the movable piece to activate the first micro switch. The electromagnet, the first micro switch, and the battery are connected in series to form a closed circuit. The magnet is used to generate magnetic force to attract the counterweight iron plate or permanent magnet when energized, so that when the pull ring is not in use, it can be attracted to the groove surface of the plug.

[0023] 7. In this invention, the rechargeable battery is charged when the plug is inserted and upright. Rotating the lever to raise the plug activates the second microswitch, turning on the charging circuit without needing to remove the lithium battery separately. The charging battery and the heating resistor generate heat, causing the internal temperature of the plug to rise. Insulating and heat-conducting materials and a heat-conducting sheet are used to conduct this heat to the heat-sensitive color-changing part, which then changes color. This allows the operator to observe the charging status. The operator can easily close the charging circuit by pulling the pull ring, preventing damage to the rechargeable battery.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0026] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" or "linked" should be interpreted broadly, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] Example 1 The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: like Figure 1As shown, this invention discloses an inclined plug-in power strip, comprising: a socket 1, a plug 2, and a conductive wire 3. One end of the conductive wire is connected to the socket, and the other end is connected to the plug. The socket has an inclined working surface 4, on which a power switch 5, a power socket 6, and a USB port 7 are provided. The plug-in plate is installed on the plug by a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, one end of the plug has a conductive post 8, and the other end has a plug-in plate 9. The outer edge of the plug-in plate has a groove 10, and a pull ring 11 is mounted on the groove. The pull ring includes a detachable rigid shell 12 and a pair of ends 13. The rigid shell has an extendable tension rib 14. Each of the pair of ends has a pivot head 15 on its inner side, and a pivot 16 is provided between the pair of pivot heads. The two ends of the tension rib are connected to the pair of ends respectively. An opening 17 is provided on the side wall of the groove. The top of the end is covered with a heat-sensitive color-changing part 46, which is made of heat-sensitive color-changing material and extends from the top to the bottom to form a U-shaped surface.

[0029] like Figure 6 As shown, the tension rib includes an elastic rib 18 and an elastic cover 19, with the elastic cover covering the outside of the elastic rib. A counterweight plate 20 is provided inside the elastic rib located in the middle of the pull ring.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the plug contains a support plate 21, which includes an extension piece 22 and an arc-shaped retaining piece 23. A crossbar 24 connects the retaining pieces, and the crossbar has an axial hole for installing a rotating head and a rotating shaft. A fixing bracket 26 is provided below the extension piece, and the fixing bracket has insertion holes 27 on both sides for installing conductive posts. One end of each conductive post is connected to a conductive wire. Multiple pairs of clips 28 are provided on the extension piece to fix the conductive wire. Each clip has a side edge 29 on one side.

[0031] The rotating shaft is made of an insulating and thermally conductive material. A fan-shaped heat-conducting plate 30 is provided on the rotating shaft, with the side of the heat-conducting plate closer to the rotating shaft being smaller than the side farther from the rotating shaft. A front-mounted component 31 is provided at the front end of the crossbar, housing a battery 32. An electromagnet 33 is provided on the bottom surface of the groove. A toggle block 34 is provided at the bottom of the end. A fixing plate 35 is provided on the fixing bracket. A first micro switch 36 is provided on one side of the fixing plate. A spring 37 is connected to the fixing plate, and a movable piece 38 is mounted on the end of the spring away from the fixing plate. When the pull ring is laid flat, the toggle block pushes the movable piece to actuate the first micro switch. The electromagnet, the first micro switch, and the battery are connected in series to form a closed circuit. Mounting holes 49 are provided at the bottom of the groove to facilitate the passage of the fixing plate, the first micro switch, and the movable piece.

[0032] In this embodiment, a rechargeable battery is used. The specific charging operation is to unplug the plug-in board, remove the rechargeable battery, connect the USB connector, and insert it into the USB interface for charging.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the mounting bracket includes a lower support block 39 and a support platform 40. The support platform has ear chambers 41 on both sides, and a fixing ring 42 is provided on the outer side of the conductive post. The ear chambers have fixing grooves 43 to facilitate the installation of the conductive post. The bottom end of the front component is snapped onto the support platform. The bottom of the crossbar has a movable groove 44 to facilitate the movement of the heat-conducting fins. The size of the movable groove is larger than the thickness of the heat-conducting fins. The movable groove extends through the width of the crossbar.

[0034] In this embodiment, the rigid outer shell is removed, and the tension ribs are pulled to bind the conductive wires, socket, and plug together. Furthermore, when the plug is inserted into a portable power outlet, the pull ring can be pulled up, or the pull ring or tension ribs can be used to suspend the plug itself on a wall hook or other high position off the ground. For storage, the plug can be inserted into a power outlet to save space.

[0035] When the pull ring is laid flat, the toggle pushes the movable piece to activate the first micro switch. The electromagnet, the first micro switch, and the battery are connected in series to form a closed circuit. The magnet is used to generate magnetic force to attract the counterweight iron plate or permanent magnet when energized, so that when the pull ring is not in use, it can be attracted to the groove surface of the plug.

[0036] Example 2 like Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the elastic cover is provided with a protruding rib 45, and a counterweight iron plate is provided on the side of the protruding rib located in the middle of the pull ring near the insertion plate. The protruding rib is elastic.

[0037] In this embodiment, the protruding ribs increase the friction of the tension ribs and also act as a buffer, facilitating the insertion of the plug into the inner wall of the power socket. The counterweight plate also serves as a counterweight, ensuring the pull ring fits snugly against the bottom surface of the groove.

[0038] Example 3 like Figure 8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 3 and embodiment 1 is that permanent magnets 25 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the protruding rib located in the middle of the pull ring.

[0039] Example 4 like Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the difference between Embodiment 4 and Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, the battery is a removable rechargeable lithium battery, and the second micro switch is embedded in the support platform. A second micro switch 47 is provided on the mounting bracket, and the second micro switch is installed on the side away from the first micro switch. The rechargeable battery is connected in parallel with a heating resistor and the second micro switch to a pair of conductive posts via wires, allowing the battery to be charged when the plug is inserted and the battery is upright. A toggle block actuates the second micro switch. In this embodiment, a torsion spring is used to keep the pull ring in a vertical position.

[0040] The outer side of the lever is provided with an external protrusion 48 extending from the pull ring. When the pull ring is laid flat, the external protrusion is located outside the movable block and the first micro switch, and will not touch the movable block and the first micro switch. When the pull ring is raised, its vertical pull ring will push the second micro switch downward.

[0041] In this embodiment, the rechargeable battery is charged when the plug is inserted and upright. Rotating the lever to raise the plug activates the second microswitch, eliminating the need to remove the lithium battery separately. The charging battery and the heat generated by the heating resistor also raise the internal temperature of the plug. This heat is then conducted to the heat-sensitive color-changing part of the plug via insulating and thermally conductive materials and a heat-conducting sheet, causing the color to change. This allows the operator to observe the charging status. The operator can then easily deactivate the charging by pulling down the pull ring.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the description and drawings of the present invention, whether directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
