[0032] In order to facilitate the use of users, current furniture products will be embedded with power strips in the furniture, and electrical equipment will also be equipped in the furniture. There are two methods for obtaining power from power strips and electrical equipment in the prior art. The first method is to plug the connection plug of the power strip and the connection plug of the electrical equipment into the wall plug. Therefore, two connection plugs are set between the same furniture and the wall plug, which looks messy. During use, users also need to plug the two connection plugs into the wall plug at the same time, which has a poor user experience and the furniture product as a whole lacks a sense of design. The second method is to plug the connection plug of the electrical equipment into the power strip and the connection plug of the power strip into the wall plug. Therefore, the connection plug of the electrical equipment is always plugged into the power strip. On the one hand, it will cause the connection plug of the electrical equipment to occupy an interface position of the power strip, and on the other hand, it will also affect the overall design appearance of the product.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a power strip 1 installed in furniture, and the power strip 1 includes a power strip body 10, a power cord 20 and at least one connecting wire 30.

[0034] The power strip body 10 includes a power strip socket 11 and a power strip panel 12 connected to one side of the power strip socket 11. The power strip panel 12 is provided with a plurality of sockets 13 for use by users. The edge of the power strip panel 12 can be protruded relative to the edge of the power strip socket 11, or the edge of the power strip socket 11 can be protruded relative to the edge of the power strip panel 12, so as to facilitate the installation of the power strip body 10 on the installation plate of the furniture.

[0035] One end of the power cord 20 is electrically connected to the power strip 11 , and the other end of the power cord 20 is provided with a plug 21 , which is usually configured to be inserted into a wall socket for use, or inserted into an external power strip for use.

[0036] One end of the connecting wire 30 is electrically connected to the socket strip 11, and the other end of the connecting wire 30 is provided with a connector 31, which is used to supply power to the electrical equipment. It should be noted that the number of connecting wires 30 connected to the socket strip 11 can be adaptively designed according to the number of electrical equipment in the furniture. For example, if the number of electrical equipment in the furniture is two, then the number of connecting wires 30 connected to the socket strip 11 is set to two accordingly. In some specific implementations, the number of connecting wires 30 connected to the socket strip 11 is set to 1 to 10.

[0037] By directly electrically connecting the connecting wire 30 electrically connected to the electrical device to the power strip 11, there is no need to set up an additional connecting plug at one end of the connecting wire 30. Therefore, only a power cord 20 is required to connect the furniture to the wall socket, and there is no need to connect the connecting plug of the electrical device to the power strip panel 12 of the furniture, making the appearance design of the entire furniture more concise.

[0038] Furthermore, compared to the prior art, a separate socket needs to be reserved on the power strip panel 12 for inserting the connecting plug of the power supply device. For example, in the power strip design of the prior art, if at least two socket positions need to be reserved for user use, and the connecting plug of the connecting wire for powering the electrical equipment needs to be inserted into the power strip panel, then the power strip body needs to be provided with at least three socket positions. In the embodiment of the utility model, by directly electrically connecting one end of the connecting wire 30 for electrically connecting to the electrical equipment to the power strip socket 11, the size of the power strip 1 provided by the utility model can be smaller than that of the power strip structure of the prior art.

[0039] Further references Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the first embodiment provided by the utility model, the first interface 14 and the second interface 15 are arranged on the socket row 11 at intervals, and the one end of at least one connecting wire 30 is electrically connected to the socket row 11 through the first interface 14, and the one end of the power cord 20 is electrically connected to the socket row 11 through the second interface 15.

[0040] The socket strip 11 includes a shell and an electrical module housed inside the shell, wherein one end of the shell is open, and the socket strip panel 12 is connected to the open end of the shell, and the shell and the socket strip panel 12 together enclose an installation cavity, and the electrical module is housed in the installation cavity. By arranging the first interface 14 and the second interface 15 at intervals on the socket strip 11, the one end of the connecting wire 30 extends into the installation cavity through the first interface 14, thereby connecting to the electrical module inside the socket strip 11, and the one end of the power line 20 extends into the installation cavity through the second interface 15, and connects to the electrical module inside the socket strip 11.

[0041] It should be noted that if a plurality of connecting wires 30 are electrically connected to the socket strip 11 , a plurality of first interfaces 14 are correspondingly provided at intervals on the socket strip 11 for connecting the plurality of connecting wires 30 to the socket strip 11 .

[0042] Furthermore, by arranging the first interface 14 and the second interface 15 at intervals on the socket row 11, the connecting wire 30 and the power line 20 are arranged at intervals, thereby preventing the connecting wire 30 and the power line 20 from contacting and forming a short circuit due to damaged outer skin, thereby causing a safety hazard.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the connector 31 for connecting to the electrical device is configured as at least one of a DC connector and an AC connector.

[0044] When the power strip 11 is electrically connected to a connecting wire 30, the connector 31 is set as a DC connector or an AC connector. When the power strip 11 is electrically connected to at least two connecting wires 30, the at least two connecting wires 30 correspond to at least two connectors 31, wherein at least two connectors 31 can be set as DC connectors, or at least two connectors 31 can be set as AC connectors, or at least one of the two connectors 31 is set as a DC connector, and the other of the at least two connectors 31 is set as an AC connector.

[0045] Further references Figure 3 As shown, in the second embodiment provided by the present utility model, the one end of at least one of the connecting wires 30 and the one end of the power line 20 are electrically connected to the socket row 11 through the same interface of the socket row 11 .

[0046] Specifically, a third interface 16 is provided on the power strip 11, and a connecting wire 30 and a power cord 20 are both connected to the electrical module inside the power strip 11 through the third interface 16. When the size of the power strip 11 is small, the connecting wire 30 and the power cord 20 share an interface, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the power strip 11.

[0047] It should be noted that after the connecting wire 30 and the power line 20 are connected to the inside of the power strip 11 through the same interface, the connecting wire 30 and the power line 20 can be connected to different electrical modules respectively.

[0048] Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the connector 31 for connecting to the electrical device is configured as at least one of a DC connector and an AC connector.

[0049] In the above embodiment, when the connector 31 is set as a DC connector, an adapter is provided inside the socket row, and the connecting wire 30 is connected to the adapter. The adapter is used to convert AC power into DC power and provide it to the connecting wire 30. The adapter can be a switching module or a switching device.

[0050] In the above embodiment, when the connector 31 is configured as an AC connector, a wiring terminal is disposed inside the socket row 11, and at least one of the connecting wires 30 and the power line 20 are both connected to the wiring terminal.

[0051] When the first interface 14 and the second interface 15 are arranged on the power strip 11 at intervals, one end of the connecting wire 30 extends into the power strip 11 through the first interface 14 and is connected to a wiring terminal, and one end of the power cord 20 extends into the power strip 11 through the second interface 15 and is connected to the same wiring terminal.

[0052] When a third interface 16 is provided on the power strip 11, one end of the connecting wire 30 extends into the power strip through the third interface 16 and is connected to a terminal, and one end of the power cord 20 extends into the power strip 11 through the third interface 16 and is connected to the same terminal.

[0053] When the voltage of the electrical device connected by the connecting wire 30 is substantially the same as the voltage of the external power source connected by the power line 20 , a connection terminal is provided inside the socket 11 .

[0054] In the above embodiment, when the connector 31 is set as an AC connector, at least two terminals are set inside the socket row 11, at least one connecting wire 30 is connected to at least one terminal, and the power line 20 is connected to the other terminal.

[0055] Specifically, a first terminal and a second terminal are provided inside the socket 11 , the connecting wire 30 is electrically connected to the first terminal after being inserted into the socket 11 , and the power line 20 is electrically connected to the second terminal after being inserted into the socket 11 .

[0056] When the voltage suitable for the electrical equipment connected by the connecting wire 30 is different from the voltage of the external power source connected by the power line 20 , at least two connection terminals need to be provided inside the socket 11 .

[0057] Further references Figure 4 As shown, in the third embodiment provided by the present utility model, the row of sockets 11 is connected to a bus 40, at least one of the connecting wires 30 and the power cord 20 are connected to the bus 40, and the connector 31 includes an AC connector.

[0058] By providing a bus 40 on the power strip 11, at least one of the connecting wires 30 and the power cord 20 is separated through the bus 40, so that the structure of the power strip 1 can be further simplified, making the wiring scheme on the power strip 11 more concise, and avoiding the connection of a large number of connecting wires 30 and power cords 20 on the power strip 11, which would cause the connecting wires 30 and the power cord 20 to be entangled with each other, making it inconvenient for users to organize.

[0059] Further references Figure 4 As shown, the power strip 1 further includes a splitter 41 , and the splitter 41 is used to divide the bus 40 into at least one connecting wire 30 and the power line 20 .

[0060] The power distribution of different electrical equipment can be achieved by setting the splitter 41.

[0061] The splitter 41 further includes a shell, a distribution module or distributor and a connecting line, the distribution module or distributor and the connecting line are arranged inside the shell, the input port of the splitter is set as the access port of the bus, the output port of the splitter is set as the interface of at least one connecting wire and the interface of the power line, and the connecting line is used to electrically connect the input port, the distribution module or distributor and the output port.

[0062] In another embodiment of the present invention, the socket row 11 is provided with at least one USB interface, and the connecting wire 30 is connected to the USB interface.

[0063] By integrating a DC power output module inside the power strip 11 and providing at least one USB interface on the power strip 11, the connecting wire 30 can be directly connected to the USB interface to power the electrical equipment in the furniture. Since no additional switching module or switching element is provided at the interface of the connecting wire 30, the user's use cost can be further reduced and the use convenience can be improved.
