Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric power application devices, in particular to a power strip with adjustable socket directions. Background Art

[0002] A power strip is a commonly used power transfer device in homes, workplaces and other places. It generally includes a housing, a conductive sheet, a circuit board, etc. A socket is provided on the housing, and the conductive sheet is aligned with the socket. When the plug is inserted from the socket, it will also contact the conductive sheet to achieve electrical contact. In actual use, due to the limitation of the wiring or placement of the power strip, the direction of the plug often does not match the direction of the power strip socket, resulting in the need to twist the power cord before the plug can be inserted, making insertion inconvenient. There are also cases where the direction of the socket is fixed, resulting in interference when multiple plugs are inserted, resulting in multiple plugs not being able to be inserted at the same time. All of these will cause inconvenience to use. For this reason, some sockets with adjustable socket directions have been invented. However, the socket direction of such sockets can only be adjusted within a specific, small range, and 360-degree adjustment cannot be achieved. At the same time, the structure used to achieve the socket direction adjustment is relatively complex, the cost is high, the adjustment feel is not good, and the operation is laborious. Utility Model Content

[0005] Furthermore, a guide groove is provided in the shell, and the conductive belt is embedded in the guide groove; the conductive ring is arranged around the edge of the rotating wheel in a circle, and the edge of the rotating wheel is embedded in the guide groove so that the conductive ring and the conductive belt are in contact in a tangential or partially wrapped form; each conductive belt and each conductive ring is made of copper material, and of course aluminum or other conductive materials can also be used.

[0006] Furthermore, the shell includes a bottom cover and an upper cover, the upper cover is connected and fixed to the bottom cover by means of fixing columns and screws; guide grooves are arranged on the inner walls on the left and right sides of the bottom cover, and the conductive belt is close to the inner wall of the bottom cover in the guide grooves; a seat hole is arranged in the upper cover, and the socket is embedded in the seat hole and exposed on the surface of the upper cover to facilitate the plugging of the plug.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotating wheel is an I-shaped wheel, and conductive rings are respectively wound on its lower edge and upper edge, wherein the conductive ring on the lower edge is a positive conductive ring, and the conductive ring on the upper edge is a negative conductive ring; upper and lower guide grooves are respectively arranged on the left and right inner side walls of the bottom cover corresponding to the upper and lower edges of the rotating wheel, and conductive belts are respectively arranged in the upper and lower guide grooves, wherein the lower conductive belt is a positive conductive belt, and the upper conductive belt is a negative conductive belt; the positive conductive belt contacts the positive conductive ring, and the negative conductive belt contacts the negative conductive ring. In this way, the upper and lower conductive connections are simultaneously made, which can further improve the stability of the conduction and allow a larger current to pass.

[0008] Furthermore, each guide groove is separated by two upper and lower groove plates extending inwardly from the inner wall of the bottom cover, the positive conductive belt and the negative conductive belt are inserted from the front end of the guide groove, and the tail ends of the positive conductive belt and the negative conductive belt are extended from the tail end of the guide groove to connect with the circuit board.

[0009] Furthermore, a support portion protruding upward is provided at the bottom of the bottom cover, and the surface of the support portion is a plane, and the bottom of the rotating wheel is supported by the support portion. This can prevent the entire rotating wheel and the plug socket from being stressed only by the guide groove, which not only makes the rotating wheel rotate more smoothly, but also prevents the guide groove (groove sheet) and the edge of the rotating wheel from being crushed when the plug is inserted through the support portion supporting the rotating wheel.

[0010] Furthermore, access slots are provided at the upper and lower parts of the rotating wheel respectively, and the negative electrode conductive ring and the positive electrode conductive ring are respectively connected to the socket from the upper and lower access slots to be electrically connected to the corresponding conductive sheets.

[0011] Preferably, there are several sockets, each socket corresponding to a rotating wheel, such as 3, 4, etc., but of course only 1 is also possible.

[0014] The utility model arranges the socket where the jack is located on the rotating wheel, and the rotating wheel can rotate 360 ​​degrees. A conductive belt is arranged in the housing, and a conductive ring is arranged on the rotating wheel.
