Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power supply technology, and in particular to the design of a power plug. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, power plugs are equipped with foldable prongs. When the prongs are in the folded state, if the plug terminals are completely hidden, it is inconvenient for users to unscrew the prongs. Therefore, the plug terminals are usually exposed to make it convenient for users to unscrew the prongs when using the power plug. However, with this design, the power plug and electronic products are prone to damaging the display screen of the electronic products when carried. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The power plug provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A power plug, comprising:

[0035] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing this 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0037] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] This application discloses a power plug; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 The device includes a plug housing 100, prongs 200, and a control component 300. The plug housing 100 has a slot 110. The prongs 200 have a rotating end and a plug-in end. The rotating end is rotatably disposed inside the plug housing 100, and the prongs 200 can be rotated so that the plug-in end can be hidden in the slot 110. For example, if the end of the slot 110 does not penetrate the side of the plug housing 100, the prongs 200 can be completely hidden in the slot 110. The control component 300 is configured to be operable to control the prongs 200 to rotate out of the slot 110.

[0039] Specifically, the plug 200 can be completely hidden within the slot 110, especially the connector end of the plug 200. This design effectively prevents the connector end of the plug 200 from colliding with the screen of electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets, or computers when they are placed in luggage, thus ensuring the safety of the electronic products during transport. When the power plug is needed, staff can use the control component 300 to rotate the plug 200 out of the slot 110, effectively solving the problem of inconvenience caused by the plug 200 being completely hidden in the slot 110.

[0040] In one possible embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The control assembly 300 includes a control element 310 and a resilient reset element 320. The plug housing 100 has a pressing hole 130. The control element 310 is a button and is movably disposed in the pressing hole 130. The resilient reset element 320 is disposed within the pressing hole 130 and abuts against the bottom of the pressing hole 130 and the control element. After the user presses the control element 310, the resilient reset element 320 allows the control element 310 to reset after being pressed. The control element 310 is connected to the pin 200, and the control element 310 can be pressed to control the pin 200 to rotate out of the slot 110.

[0041] Therefore, in practical applications, when the operator presses the control component 310, the control component 310 controls the pin 200 to rotate out of the slot 110 for easy use. As can be seen from the above, through the setting of the control component 310, the control component 300 can easily rotate the pin 200 out of the slot 110.

[0042] Instead of the aforementioned configuration of the control component 300, the control component 300 includes a control element 310, which can be a knob and is rotatably disposed on the side of the plug housing 100. The control element 310 is connected to the pin 200 in a driving manner. The control element 310 can be rotated to control the pin 200 to rotate out of the slot 110.

[0043] Therefore, in practical applications, the operator rotates the control component 310 to control the pin 200 to rotate out of the slot 110 for convenient use. For example, the control component 310 is connected to the shaft of the pin 200, and rotating the control component 310 can drive the pin 200 to rotate. As can be seen from the above, through the configuration of the control component 310, the control component 300 can easily rotate the pin 200 out of the slot 110.

[0044] Instead of the above-mentioned arrangement of the control component 300, the control component 300 includes a control member 310 and a resilient reset member 320. The plug housing 100 is provided with a sliding groove. The control member 310 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove and is connected to the pin 200 in a transmission manner. The resilient reset member 320 is disposed in the sliding groove and is used to enable the control member 310 to be reset after being slid. The control member 310 can be slid to control the pin 200 to rotate out of the strip groove 110.

[0045] Therefore, in practical applications, when the operator presses the control component 310, the control component 310 controls the pin 200 to rotate out of the slot 110 for easy use. As can be seen from the above, through the setting of the control component 310, the control component 300 can easily rotate the pin 200 out of the slot 110.

[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The control assembly 300 also includes a rotating shaft 330. A first lug 110 is provided on the inner side of the plug housing 100. The rotating shaft 330 is rotatably mounted on the first lug 110 on the inner side of the plug housing 100. Two prongs 200 are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 330. The control element 310 is kinetically connected to the rotating shaft 330 and can be operated to simultaneously control the two prongs 200 to rotate out of the slots 110 via the rotating shaft 330. It can be understood that, through the arrangement of the rotating shaft 330, when the control element 310 is operated, it can simultaneously control the rotation of the two prongs 200 via the rotating shaft 330, thereby easily rotating the two prongs 200 out of the two slots 110. Therefore, the control element 310 can simultaneously control the rotation of the two prongs 200 with a relatively simple structure.

[0047] To facilitate the removal of the pin 200 from the slot 110, in some embodiments, please refer to... Figures 3 to 5 The control assembly 300 also includes an elastic element 340 connected between the plug housing 100 and the rotating shaft 330. The elastic element 340 provides rotational force to the rotating shaft 330, thereby providing rotational force to the pins 200 to rotate out. Simultaneously, the control element 310 restricts the rotation of the rotating shaft 330 caused by the elastic element 340. When the control element 310 releases the restriction on the rotating shaft 330, the elastic element 340 drives the two pins 200 to rotate out of the slot 110 via the rotating shaft 330. For example, the control element 310 releases the restriction on the rotating shaft 330 by pressing, rotating, or sliding, thereby allowing the elastic element 340 to drive the rotating shaft 330 to rotate, thus causing the pins 200 to rotate out of the slot 110.

[0048] Furthermore, the elastic element 340 is a tension spring, which is inclinedly connected to the inner side of the plug housing 100 along the height direction of the power plug. Specifically, the inner side of the plug housing 100 is provided with a second lug 120, and the side wall of the rotating shaft 330 is provided with a third lug 333. One end of the tension spring is hooked onto the second lug 120, and the other end is hooked onto the third lug 333. Thus, the elastic element 340 provides rotational force to the rotating shaft 330. Of course, the elastic element 340 can be a torsion spring, compression spring, etc. It can be understood that the elastic element 340 is a tension spring and is inclinedly arranged inside the plug housing 100. The elastic element 340 can be compactly arranged inside the plug housing 100 and occupies a small space.

[0049] In order for the control element 310 to restrict the rotation of the rotating shaft 330, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The control member 310 has a raised first limiting part 312 on its side wall, and the rotating shaft 330 has a raised second limiting part 332 on its side wall. The first limiting part 312 is used to limit the second limiting part 332. Thus, the control member 310 can limit the rotation of the rotating shaft 330, thereby keeping the pin 200 hidden in the slot 110. When the operator presses, rotates, or slides the control member 310, the second limiting part 332 releases the restriction on the first limiting part 312, and the rotating shaft 330 can rotate under the action of the elastic member 340, thereby driving the pin 200 to rotate out of the slot 110.

[0050] Furthermore, the control member 310 is provided with an elastic arm 311, which can elastically deform in a direction away from the rotation axis 330. A first limiting part 312 is provided at the end of the elastic arm 311. For example, the first limiting part 312 and the second limiting part 332 have a guide slope that slides relative to each other. It can be understood that when the pin 200 needs to be hidden in the slot 110, the rotation axis 330 drives the second limiting part 332 to rotate. When the second limiting part 332 passes the first limiting part 312, the second limiting part 332 pushes the elastic arm 311 to deform through the first limiting part 312, thereby making way for the second limiting part 332 to pass over the first limiting part 312. At this time, the elastic arm 311 returns to its original deformation, and the first limiting part 312 restricts the return movement of the second limiting part 332, thereby keeping the pin 200 hidden in the slot 110.

[0051] Furthermore, at least one of the first limiting portion 312 and the second limiting portion 332 has a guide ramp, so that the second limiting portion 332 slides relative to the other when it passes over the first limiting portion 312. For example, both the first limiting portion 312 and the second limiting portion 332 are provided with guide ramps. When the second limiting portion 332 passes over the first limiting portion 312, the two guide ramps slide relative to each other, so that the second limiting portion 332 acts more effectively on the first limiting portion 312 to push the elastic arm 311 to deform, and thus can pass over the first limiting portion 312.

[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The rotating shaft 330 is provided with a connecting hole 331, which passes through the side of the rotating shaft 330. The side wall of the connecting hole 331 is provided with a slot 3311. At the same time, an insulating sleeve 400 is sleeved and fixed on the rotating end of the plug 200. The side wall of the insulating sleeve 400 is provided with a protruding snap-fit ​​part 410, which is embedded in the slot 3311. Thus, the insulating sleeve 400 is fixedly connected to the connecting hole 331, thereby fixing the plug 200 to the rotating shaft 330, thereby achieving insulation between the plug 200 and the rotating shaft 330. At the same time, an electrical connection part 230 is extended from the rotating end of the plug 200 to facilitate the power connection of the plug 200.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
