[0026] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of the utility model will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the scheme in the embodiments of the utility model. 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 ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, top, bottom, side...) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0029] It should also be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed on" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0030] In addition, the descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the present utility model are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or suggesting their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

[0031] In view of the technical defects existing in the related art, this embodiment provides a plug assembly 100. Figures 1a to 2b As shown, the plug assembly 100 of this embodiment includes a plug body 110 and a shielding cover 140. Figure 1b and Figure 2a As shown, the plug body 110 includes a first side wall 111 and a second side wall 112 facing each other. The first side wall 111 of the plug body 110 is provided with a pin 120, which can be plugged into a power source such as a wall plug to obtain electricity. The second side wall 112 of the plug body 110 is provided with a socket 130, and a conductive terminal electrically connected to the pin 120 is provided in the socket 130.

[0032] The shielding cover 140 is connected to the second side wall 112 to shield the socket 130. In an optional example, the shielding cover 140 is connected to the second side wall 112 in a rotational connection. The rotation axis of the shielding cover 140 may be perpendicular to the second side wall 112, so that the shielding cover 140 can rotate relative to the second side wall 112 in the horizontal direction. When the shielding cover 140 rotates, the shielding cover 140 itself and the socket 130 are relatively displaced, so that when the shielding cover 140 rotates to the top of the socket 130, the socket 130 is shielded; when it is away from the socket 130, the socket 130 is exposed, thereby completing the opening and closing of the socket 130. Of course, the rotation axis of the shielding cover 140 can also be parallel to the second side wall 112, so that the shielding cover 140 and the second side wall 112 are relatively flipped, thereby opening and closing the socket 130.

[0033] In another optional example, the shielding cover 140 may be slidably connected to the second side wall 112 , thereby forming an opening and closing structure of the insertion hole 130 by sliding relative to the second side wall 112 .

[0034] The plug assembly 100 of this embodiment can not only draw power for the electrical device using the plug assembly 100, but also draw power for other electrical devices when the pins of other electrical devices are plugged into the socket 130. For example, when the plug assembly 100 of this embodiment is plugged into a wall socket, the pins of other electrical devices contact the conductive terminals inside the socket 130, so that the current provided by the wall socket is transmitted to the other electrical devices in sequence through the pins 120, the conductive terminals, and the pins of other electrical devices, thereby driving the other electrical devices.

[0035] In this way, other plugs can be stacked on the plug assembly 100 of this embodiment. Therefore, even if multiple plugs cannot be plugged in due to the narrow plug-in position on the wall socket, the plug assembly 100 of this embodiment can be used to expand additional sockets 130 for plug connection of other electronic products, thereby solving the problem that multiple plugs cannot be plugged in on the wall socket.

[0036] Optionally, the socket 130 of this embodiment includes a two-pin plug-in portion 131 and a three-pin plug-in portion 132 that are spaced apart. The two-pin plug-in portion 131 and the three-pin plug-in portion 132 can be arranged according to actual needs. For example, the two-pin plug-in portion 131 and the three-pin plug-in portion 132 can be arranged in a spaced apart manner. Figure 2a can also be arranged in the horizontal direction of Figure 2a The vertical direction is arranged, but not limited to this.

[0037] Furthermore, if Figure 1a and Figure 1b As shown, a connection groove 1121 is formed at the edge of the second side wall 112. The shielding cover 140 includes a cover body and a rotation connection portion 143 connected to the cover body. The rotation connection portion 143 is located in the connection groove 1121 and is rotationally connected to the groove wall of the connection groove 1121 to form a movable connection between the shielding cover 140 and the second side wall 112. The cover body is used to open and close the two-pin plug-in portion 131 and the three-pin plug-in portion 132 to prevent foreign matter such as water vapor or dust from entering the socket 130.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to prevent the cover from being easily flipped open under the action of gravity or by accidental collision, the rotating connection portion 143 has a rotating shaft, and the groove wall of the connecting groove 1121 is provided with an axial hole matching the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is inserted into the axial hole, and a damper is provided between the rotating shaft and the hole wall of the axial hole. The cover will be subject to resistance from the damper during the flipping process, so that even if it is affected by gravity or accidentally collided, it will not flip easily, thereby preventing the problem of the jack 130 being exposed for a long time when not in use.

[0039] In some embodiments, the two-pin connector 131 and the three-pin connector 132 can be opened and closed separately. Figures 1a to 2bAs shown, the shielding cover 140 of this embodiment includes a first cover body 141 and a second cover body 142, and the first cover body 141 and the second cover body 142 are respectively connected to the second side wall 112 by flipping. The first cover body 141 is used to shield the two-pin plug-in portion 131, and the second cover body 142 is used to shield the three-pin plug-in portion 132, so that the two-pin plug-in portion 131 and the three-pin plug-in portion 132 can be opened and closed respectively, so that when one of the plug-in portions is used, the other plug-in portion can be shielded, thereby further improving the dustproof effect.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 1a and Figure 2a As shown, the second side wall 112 is also provided with a light board 150 adjacent to the socket 130. The light board 150 can be an LED lamp bead or an OLDE light board, but is not limited thereto. The light board 150 is conductively connected to the pin 120, so that when the pin 120 is energized with the power supply, the light board 150 can be powered by the pin 120 to play a lighting role. Optionally, the light board 150 is a night light or an indicator light. When the light board 150 is used as a night light, the brightness of the light board 150 can be appropriately lowered, and optical components such as a soft light board are set in the light outlet window of the light board 150, so that the light emitted by the light board 150 is softer and helps sleep. When the light board 150 is used as an indicator light, the brightness of the light board 150 can be appropriately increased, and a light-transmissive identification plate is set in the light outlet window of the light board 150, so that the user can clearly see the identification on the plug assembly 100. The identification of the identification plate can be selected according to actual needs, and no examples are given here.

[0041] Furthermore, if Figure 2a As shown, in this embodiment, the second side wall 112 has a first step 1122 and a second step 1123, and the second step 1123 is lower than the first step 1122. The light panel 150 is disposed on the first step 1122, and the socket 130 is disposed on the second step 1123. By way of example, the two-pin plug-in portion 131 and the three-pin plug-in portion 132 of the socket 130 are arranged along Figure 2a The shielding cover 140 is located on the second step 1123 and is flipped and connected to the edge of the second step 1123. Exemplarily, the first cover body 141 and the second cover body 142 of the shielding cover 140 are flipped and connected to the opposite sides of the second step 1123 in the horizontal direction. Optionally, in order to improve the surface flatness of the plug assembly 100, the thickness of the cover body is equivalent to the sum of the height difference between the first step 1122 and the second step 1123 and the thickness of the light board 150, so that when the cover body shields the jack 130, the outer side surface of the cover body and the surface of the light board 150 are coplanar, thereby improving the surface flatness of the plug assembly 100.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the removal of the plug assembly 100, in this embodiment, a gripping position 160 is provided on the edge of the first side wall 111, so that when the plug assembly 100 connected to a power source such as a wall plug is removed, the end of the user's finger can be supported on the gripping position 160, thereby facilitating the gripping of the plug body 110 and further facilitating the removal of the plug assembly 100. Optionally, anti-slip grooves can be formed on the surface of the gripping position 160 to increase the friction between the gripping position 160 and the user's fingers, thereby facilitating the user to apply force to remove the plug assembly 100.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a power strip is further provided, and the power strip of this embodiment includes a power strip body 200 and a plug assembly 100 connected to the power strip body 200. Among them, the plug assembly 100 used in the power strip of this embodiment is the plug assembly 100 provided in the above embodiment. The beneficial effect of the power strip of this embodiment is that when the sockets of the power strip body 200 are all occupied, the plug assembly 100 can provide additional sockets 130 for other electronic products to draw power, thereby improving the user experience.

[0044] The above description is only a partial or preferred embodiment of the present invention. Neither the text nor the drawings can limit the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the overall concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
