[0043] In order to make the technical problems solved by the utility model, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0044] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0045] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the utility model provides a socket panel 1, including a housing assembly 10, a cover 11, a first socket module 131 and a data line 14. One side of the housing assembly 10 has a first use surface 101 and a second use surface 102, the first use surface 101 is provided with a first socket 1010, the second use surface 102 is provided with a first communication hole 1021, the cover 11 is hinged to the housing assembly 10, and the cover 11 can cover the second use surface 102 to cover the first communication hole 1021, or the cover 11 can be opened relative to the second use surface 102 to expose the first communication hole 1021, and the cover 11 covers the second use surface 102 When the cover body 11 protrudes from the first usage surface 101 toward the outside of the socket panel 1, the first socket module 131 is arranged in the shell assembly 10 corresponding to the first socket 1010, and the first socket module 131 can be electrically connected to the external circuit. The data line 14 has a first end 141 and a second end 142 relative to each other. The first end 141 can be electrically connected to the external circuit, the second end 142 passes through the first connecting hole 1021 and can be retracted in the shell assembly 10, and the second end 142 is provided with a connector 143.
[0047] By providing the first socket 1010 and the first socket module 131, the socket panel 1 can have the traditional socket function. By providing the data cable 14, the connector 143 at the second end 142 can be directly plugged into a small electronic device to charge the small electronic device. In other words, the socket panel 1 provided by the utility model can realize the socket function of the traditional socket panel 1, and does not require the user to carry the data cable 14 with him / her, so that the user can charge the small electronic device, and the use convenience is higher.
[0048] In addition, by providing the cover body 11, when the data cable 14 is not in use, the cover body 11 can be covered on the second usage surface 102 to shield the first connecting hole 1021 and the data cable 14, thereby preventing dust from entering the interior of the shell assembly 10 through the first connecting hole 1021 and preventing dust from entering the interior of the connector 143. On the one hand, dust can be prevented from affecting the electrical connection stability of the connector 143 or affecting the electronic components inside the shell assembly 10, thereby improving the service life of the socket panel 1. On the other hand, the data cable 14 and the connector 143 can be easily kept clean for user use.
[0049] Furthermore, by making the cover body 11 cover the second use surface 102, the cover body 11 protrudes from the first use surface 101 toward the outside of the socket panel 1. On the one hand, when the data cable 14 needs to be used, it is convenient for the user to grasp the cover body 11 and rotate the cover body 11 relative to the shell assembly 10 to open. On the other hand, when the socket panel 1 is set on the wall with the first use surface 101 located below the second use surface 102 along the gravity direction, the cover body 11, when covering the second use surface 102, can also block dust from falling from above to the first use surface 101, thereby reducing the situation where dust enters the interior of the shell assembly 10 through the first opening.
[0050] Optionally, the shell assembly 10 can be partially embedded in a standard-sized junction box (for example, a 86-type junction box, a 118-type junction box, and a 120-type junction box, etc.). Therefore, during construction, more installation positions for standard-sized junction boxes can be reserved to provide installation positions for the subsequent installation of the socket panel 1. In the subsequent process, the socket panel 1 can be installed as a whole in the standard-sized junction box only by installing the shell assembly 10 in the standard-sized junction box located at the installation position. The installation and construction process of the socket panel 1 is convenient and has a low error rate, which can reduce the installation and construction cost of the socket panel 1.
[0051] Among them, optionally, the first socket 1010 may include but is not limited to a traditional two-hole socket, a three-hole socket and a five-hole socket, and correspondingly, the first socket module 131 may include but is not limited to a traditional two-hole socket module, a three-hole socket module and a five-hole socket module.
[0052] Furthermore, the first usage surface 101 may be provided with a plurality of first sockets 1010 at intervals, and the shell assembly 10 may be provided with a plurality of first socket modules 131 corresponding to the plurality of first sockets 1010 one by one, so that the user can use the socket panel 1 to charge more electronic devices at the same time.
[0053] At this time, preferably, the plurality of first sockets 1010 include at least two first sockets 1010 with different shapes and structures, and correspondingly, the plurality of first socket modules 131 include at least a plurality of first socket modules 131 with different shapes and structures, so that the socket panel 1 is suitable for plugging in more plugs with different shapes and structures, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, Figure 1 and Figure 5 exemplarily shows that the first use surface 101 is provided with two first sockets 1010 at intervals, and the two first sockets 1010 are respectively a two-hole socket and a three-hole socket. Figure 7The corresponding two first socket modules 131 included in the socket panel 1 are exemplarily shown as a two-hole socket module and a three-hole socket module respectively.
[0054] Please continue to read Figures 1 to 5 Optionally, the hinge between the cover body 11 and the shell assembly 10 is located on the side of the first use surface 101 away from the second use surface 102, so that when the cover body 11 is flipped over to open relative to the second use surface 102, the cover body 11 as a whole is away from the first use surface 101. In other words, the cover body 11 will not block the first use surface 101, so that it is convenient for users to use the first socket 1010 to charge other electronic devices while using the data cable 14 to charge small electronic devices.
[0055] Specifically, the housing assembly 10 may include a bottom shell 103 and a surface cover 104 that are interlocked with each other. The side of the surface cover 104 facing away from the bottom shell 103 has a first usage surface 101 and a second usage surface 102 , and the cover body 11 is hinged to the surface cover 104 .
[0056] Optionally, the first usage surface 101 and the second usage surface 102 may be parallel to each other, so that the first usage surface 101 and the second usage surface 102 face the same direction, so as to facilitate use by the user.
[0057] In other embodiments, the first usage surface 101 and the second usage surface 102 may form an angle.
[0058] Next, the specific structure of the socket panel 1 will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings by taking the example that the first use surface 101 and the second use surface 102 are parallel to each other.
[0059] Optionally, the first usage surface 101 and the second usage surface 102 may be flush with each other to simplify the structure of the housing assembly 10 .
[0060] Alternatively, the first use surface 101 may protrude from the second use surface 102 toward the outside of the socket panel 1 , so that the second use surface 102 is recessed compared to the first use surface 101 , and can indicate the covering position of the cover body 11 .
[0061] At this time, a transition structure is connected between the first usage surface 101 and the second usage surface 102. Furthermore, when the cover body 11 is covered on the second usage surface 102, the cover body 11 can be snapped into the transition structure to make the covering stability of the cover body 11 on the second usage surface 102 better, thereby avoiding the situation where the cover body 11 automatically opens when not in use.
[0062] In other embodiments, the second use surface 102 may be protruded from the first use surface 101 toward the outside of the socket panel 1. In this case, the cover 11 may have a greater thickness so that the cover 11 can protrude from the first use surface 101 when covering the second use surface 102.
[0063] Optionally, a torsion spring may be connected between the cover body 11 and the shell assembly 10, and the torsion spring is used to apply elastic force to the cover body 11 so that the cover body 11 always has a tendency to cover the second usage surface 102, so that the covering stability of the cover body 11 on the second usage surface 102 is better, avoiding the cover body 11 automatically opening when not in use.
[0064] Optionally, part of the cover body 11 protrudes toward one side so that the cover body 11 has a accommodating cavity 110 with an opening toward the other side. When the cover body 11 covers the second usage surface 102, the accommodating cavity 110 is connected to the first connecting hole 1021 through the opening. Therefore, on the one hand, the accommodating cavity 110 can be used to expand the overall internal space of the socket panel 1. On the other hand, the size of the cover body 11 along its own protruding direction can be made larger. Compared with the thin plate-shaped cover body 11, it is easier for users to grasp and flip over, and the socket panel 1 is more convenient to use.
[0065] Optionally, the connector 143 is located in the accommodating cavity 110, and the connector 143 can be detachably connected to the cover body 11, so that when the connector 143 is not in use, on the one hand, the connector 143 can be accommodated by the accommodating cavity 110 to avoid the connector 143 occupying the space in the shell assembly 10, and on the other hand, the connector 143 can be kept outside the shell assembly 10 for easy user access, thereby improving convenience of use.
[0066] Preferably, when the second end 142 is retracted into the shell assembly 10, the second end 142 can be adjacent to the shell assembly 10 and located outside the shell assembly 10, thereby facilitating the user to contact the second end 142 from outside the shell assembly 10, thereby providing better convenience for the user.
[0067] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, it can be understood that in order to facilitate charging of small devices at a certain distance from the socket panel 1, the user usually pulls out the second end 142 of the data cable 14 to bring out most of the data cable 14 for use. After use, in order to facilitate storing most of the data cable 14 again inside the housing assembly 10, the socket panel 1 also optionally includes a wire take-up device 15. The wire take-up device 15 may include but is not limited to an automatic wire take-up device connected to an elastic member such as a torsion spring or a spring leaf to obtain an elastic driving force for automatic wire take-up through the elastic member, and a drive member connected to the drive member to obtain a driving force for automatic wire take-up through the drive member. An automatic wire take-up device 15 is disposed in the housing assembly 10. The wire take-up device 15 is rotatable relative to the housing assembly 10 around its own central axis 150. Part of the data cable 14 is wound around the outer periphery of the wire take-up device 15. The wire take-up device 15 is rotatable around the central axis 150 to loosen part of the data cable 14 and allow part of the data cable 14 to extend out of the housing assembly 10 from the first connecting hole 1021 along the second end 142, or to reel in part of the data cable 14 so that part of the data cable 14 is retracted from the first connecting hole 1021 into the housing assembly 10. Thus, the data cable 14 can be automatically recovered by the wire take-up device 15, and the socket panel 1 is more convenient to use.
[0068] In other embodiments, after the data cable 14 is used, the user can manually insert most of the data cable 14 into the housing assembly 10 .
[0069] Since the thickness of the conventional socket module is relatively small, in other words, the thickness of the first socket module 131 can be relatively small, therefore, the portion of the housing assembly 10 corresponding to the first use surface 101 can have more redundant space, while the data line 14 and the cable receiver 15 require a larger setting space. Optionally, the central axis 150 is parallel to the first use surface 101 and the second use surface 102, and along the extension direction of the central axis 150, the first use surface 101 and the second use surface 102 are arranged in sequence, so that on the one hand, the cable receiver 15 can be partially located in the portion of the housing assembly 10 corresponding to the first use surface 101. The position of the surface 101 is used to more reasonably utilize the space in the shell assembly 10. On the other hand, since the length of the wire take-up device 15 along the central axis 150 is longer, the wire take-up device 15 can have a larger peripheral area without changing the diameter of the wire take-up device 15. Therefore, when the data cable 14 is wound around the periphery of the wire take-up device 15, the number of stacked winding layers of the data cable 14 along the radial direction of the wire take-up device 15 is less, so that the space required for the data cable 14 and the wire take-up device 15 as a whole along the radial direction of the wire take-up device 15 is smaller, and the structure of the socket panel 1 is more compact.
[0070] In order to expand the application scope of the data cable 14 and further improve the ease of use of the socket panel 1, optionally, the second end 142 is provided with multiple connectors 143, so that the data cable 14 is suitable for charging multiple small electronic devices through multiple connectors 143 at the same time.
[0071] Preferably, the multiple connectors 143 include at least two connectors 143 of different shapes, so that the data cable 14 can be plugged into at least two small electronic devices with different sockets through the connectors 143 .
[0072] Typically, the charging socket of a small electronic device may include but is not limited to a Type-A socket, a Type-C socket, a Mini USB socket, a Micro USB socket or a Lightning socket. Based on this, optionally, the connector 143 may include but is not limited to a Type-A connector, a Type-C connector, a Mini USB connector, a Micro USB connector or a Lightning connector.
[0073] When the second end 142 is provided with a plurality of connectors 143 as described in the aforementioned technical solution, optionally, the plurality of connectors 143 may include but are not limited to one or more of a Type-A connector, a Type-C connector, a Mini USB connector, a Micro USB connector and a Lightning connector.
[0074] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, optionally, the second usage surface 102 is also provided with a second socket 1022 spaced apart from the first connecting hole 1021, and the socket panel 1 also includes a second socket module 132, and the second socket module 132 is arranged in the shell assembly 10 corresponding to the second socket 1022, and the second socket module 132 is spaced apart from the first socket module 131, and the second socket module 132 can be electrically connected to an external circuit, so that the socket panel 1 can charge more electronic devices.
[0075] Exemplarily, the second socket 1022 may include but is not limited to a Type-A socket, a Type-C socket, a Mini USB socket, a Micro USB socket or a Lightning socket. Thus, when the user carries an extra data cable, the second socket 1022 can also be used to charge small electronic devices. The socket panel 1 has a wider range of applicable scenarios and is more convenient to use.
[0076] Furthermore, the second usage surface 102 may be provided with a plurality of second sockets 1022 at intervals, and the shell assembly 10 may be provided with a plurality of second socket modules 132 corresponding to the plurality of second sockets 1022 one by one, so that the user can use the socket panel 1 to charge more electronic devices at the same time.
[0077] At this time, preferably, the plurality of second sockets 1022 include at least two second sockets 1022 with different shapes and structures, and correspondingly, the plurality of second socket modules 132 include at least a plurality of second socket modules 132 with different shapes and structures, so that the socket panel 1 is suitable for plugging in more plugs with different shapes and structures, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, Figure 5 FIG. 2 exemplarily shows that the second use surface 102 is provided with two second sockets 1022 at intervals, and the two second sockets 1022 are respectively a Type-A socket and a Type-C socket.

Therefore, the movable structure (i.e., part of the data line 14 and the cable receiver 15) and the immovable structure (i.e., the first socket module 131 and the first end 141) provided in the inner cavity 105 can be separated by the barrier 16 to prevent the movable structure from contacting the immovable structure when the socket panel 1 is in use, causing interference and entanglement, thereby affecting the normal operation of the immovable structure.
[0079] It can be understood that, when the socket panel 1 further includes a second socket module 132 as described in the aforementioned technical solution, the second socket module 132 is also located in the first cavity 1051 .
[0080] When the shell assembly 10 includes a face cover 104 and a bottom shell 103 as described in the aforementioned technical solution, optionally, the bottom shell 103 has an inner cavity 105 , and when the face cover 104 is buckled onto the bottom shell 103 , the face cover 104 covers the inner cavity 105 , and the barrier 16 is disposed on the bottom shell 103 .
[0081] Please combine Fig. 9As shown, optionally, the inner surface of the shell assembly 10 (i.e., the inner surface of the bottom shell 103) may be provided with a slot 107, and the edge of the barrier 16 is snapped into the slot 107, so that the barrier 16 is easily installed in the shell assembly 10, and the socket panel 1 is more convenient to assemble.
[0082] Exemplarily, the baffle 16 may include a first baffle 161 and a second baffle 162 connected to each other, the plate surface of the first baffle 161 is perpendicular to the first use surface 101, and the plate surface of the second baffle 162 is parallel to the first use surface 101. One side of the first baffle 161 and one side of the second baffle 162 are enclosed with the shell component 10 to form a first cavity 1051 with an L-shaped cross section, and the other side of the first baffle 161 and the other side of the second baffle 162 are enclosed with the shell component 10 to form a rectangular second cavity 1052. The second baffle 162 has a second connecting hole 160 connected to the first cavity 1051 and the second cavity 1052. The second connecting hole 160 is connected to the first connecting hole 1021 through the first cavity 1051. The first socket module 131 is located in the first cavity. 1051, part of the data line 14 is located in the second cavity 1052, the second end 142 passes through the second connecting hole 160 and the first connecting hole 1021 in sequence and can be retracted in the second cavity 1052, so that the shape of the second cavity 1052 is relatively regular, which is suitable for setting part of the data line 14 and the wire collector 15, and the part of the first cavity 1051 located between the second baffle 162 and the first use surface 101 and the second use surface 102 is suitable for setting the first socket module 131 corresponding to the first socket 1010 and the second socket module 132 corresponding to the second socket 1022, and the part of the second cavity 1052 located on the side of the first baffle 161 away from the first cavity 1051 is suitable for the first socket module 131 and the data line 14 to be routed to be electrically connected to the external circuit.
[0083] Since the data line 14 is partially disposed in the second cavity 1052, and the first end 141 of the data line 14 needs to extend into the first cavity 1051, please combine Figure 2 As shown, in an optional example, a third connecting hole 106 is provided on the side of the housing assembly 10 away from the first use surface 101 and the second use surface 102, and the third connecting hole 106 is connected to the outside of the housing assembly 10, the first cavity 1051 and the second cavity 1052, and the first end 141 extends from the second cavity 1052 through the outside of the housing assembly 10 to the first cavity 1051 through the third connecting hole 106. In addition, since the third connecting hole 106 is connected to the outside of the housing assembly 10 and the first cavity 1051, the first socket module 131 can also be routed through the third connecting hole 106 to be electrically connected to the external circuit.
[0084] When the housing assembly 10 includes a cover 104 and a bottom shell 103 as described in the above technical solution, optionally, the third connecting hole 106 is provided in the bottom shell 103, so as to facilitate the first socket module 131 to be routed from the side away from the cover 104 to be electrically connected to the external circuit.
[0085] In another optional example, the first baffle 161 is provided with a fourth connecting hole, the fourth connecting hole is connected to the first cavity 1051 and the second cavity 1052, and the first end 141 extends from the second cavity 1052 to the first cavity 1051 through the fourth connecting hole.
[0086] In other embodiments, the first end 141 of the data line 14 may also extend into the first cavity 1051 through the second connecting hole 160 .
[0087] Please join us again Figures 4 to 7 , usually, the maximum power supply voltage supported by the data line 14 and the second socket module 132 is 20V, which is much lower than the power supply voltage of the power grid. Based on this, an optional method is to make the external circuit of the socket panel 1 a low-voltage power supply circuit that has undergone voltage conversion, so that the first end 141 of the data line 14 and the second socket module 132 can be directly electrically connected to the external circuit to obtain low-voltage power supply. At this time, the first socket module 131 can also be directly electrically connected to the external circuit to obtain low-voltage power supply.
[0088] Alternatively, the socket panel 1 may further include a power module 12, which can be electrically connected to an external circuit, and the power module 12 can convert the high-voltage current provided by the external circuit into a low-voltage circuit for output, and the first end 141 of the data line 14 and the second socket module 132 can be electrically connected to the power module 12 to obtain low-voltage power supply. In this case, the first socket module 131 can be electrically connected to the power module 12 to obtain low-voltage power supply, or can be directly electrically connected to the external circuit to obtain high-voltage power supply.
[0089] Preferably, the power module 12 may be a driving power source including a gallium nitride device, so that the power module 12 can have higher efficiency, make the power module 12 more compact, and reduce the heat generation of the power module 12. Exemplarily, the power of the power module 12 may range from 33W to 35W.
[0090] When the socket panel 1 includes the barrier 16 as described in the above technical solution, the power module 12 is disposed in the first cavity 1051. Furthermore, when the bottom shell 103 is provided with a third connecting hole 106 as described in the above technical solution, the power module 12 can be routed through the third connecting hole 106 to be electrically connected to an external circuit.
[0091] Optionally, the socket panel 1 further includes a circuit board 17, the circuit board 17 is used to be electrically connected to an external circuit, the first socket module 131 is electrically connected to the circuit board 17, the power module 12 is arranged on the circuit board 17, the first socket module 131 and the power module 12 can both be electrically connected to the external circuit through the circuit board 17, and the first end 141 and the second socket module 132 are both electrically connected to the power module 12 through the circuit board 17, so that on the one hand, the electrical connection structure in the socket panel 1 can be simplified and the wiring can be avoided from being messy, and on the other hand, the power module 12 can be supported by the circuit board 17, so that the position of the power module 12 is easy to maintain stable. Furthermore, the power module 12 can include a plurality of electronic components arranged at intervals on the circuit board 17, so that the circuit board 17 can connect the plurality of electronic components included in the power module 12 into an integral structure, so that the structure of the power module 12 itself is easy to maintain stability, so that the use stability of the power module 12 is better.
[0092] When the housing assembly 10 includes a bottom shell 103 and a surface cover 104 that fit together as described in the above technical solution, optionally, the circuit board 17 is disposed in the bottom shell 103, and the first socket module 131 and the second socket module 132 are both disposed on the side of the surface cover 104 facing the bottom shell 103.

Based on this, optionally, the circuit board 1 7 includes a first plate body 171 and a second plate body 172 which are electrically connected, the first plate body 171 is used to be electrically connected to an external circuit, the power module 12 and the second plate body 172 are spaced apart and arranged on the same side of the first plate body 171, and the second socket module 132 is arranged on the second plate body 172 corresponding to the second socket port 1022, so that the size difference between the second socket module 132 and the power module 12 along the direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the first plate body 171 can be compensated by the second plate body 172, so that the second socket module 132 corresponding to the second socket port 1022 can be electrically connected to the first plate body 171 through the second plate body 172.
[0094] Preferably, the second board body 172 can be vertically connected to the first board body 171, so that the second board body 172 can realize the function of compensating for the size difference between the second socket module 132 and the power module 12 along the direction perpendicular to the board surface of the first board body 171, while making the setting space occupied by itself smaller, so as to make the structure of the socket panel 1 more compact.
[0095] Preferably, the second socket module 132 can be mounted on the second board 172 , so that the effective connection area between the second board 172 and the second socket module 132 is larger and the connection stability between the second board 172 and the second socket module 132 is better.
