DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail. In the following description, the same symbols are assigned to the same components, and repeated descriptions are omitted. In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic diagrams, and the ratio of the dimensions of the components to each other or the shapes of the components may be different from the actual ones. It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0024] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in the present utility model are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model provides a power adapter, including: a main body 10, used to be electrically connected to an external power source to supply power to the power adapter; a plurality of sockets 20, which are arranged on the main body 10, and the sockets 20 are used to plug in plugs of connecting wires 30 of external electronic devices; a limiting component, which is arranged on the main body 10, and the connecting wire 30 is passed through the limiting component to the outside of the power adapter, and the limiting component is used to limit the connecting wire 30 and guide the connecting wire 30.

[0026] The power adapter involved in the utility model includes a limiter component, which can be used to limit the connection line 30 and guide the connection line 30. Therefore, the setting of the limiter component can limit the connection line 30, and can also be understood as playing a certain fixing role, such as clamping the connection line 30, so as to prevent the user from accidentally pulling the connection line 30 and causing the plug of the connection line 30 to separate from the socket 20, and the limiter component can ensure the stable connection of the connection line 30. In addition, the limiter component also guides the connection line 30, which can avoid the connection line 30 from being entangled as much as possible, and can also reduce the risk of the connection line 30 breaking, making it safer to use.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As an embodiment, the body 10 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 40 and a second accommodating cavity 50 which are separated from each other; the plurality of sockets 20 include a first socket 201 located in the first accommodating cavity 40, and a second socket 202 located in the second accommodating cavity 50; the connecting wire 30 includes a first connecting wire 301 and a second connecting wire 302, the first socket 201 is used for plugging in a plug of the first connecting wire 301, and the second socket 202 is used for plugging in a plug of the second connecting wire 302; the limiting assembly includes a first limiting assembly 60 and a second limiting assembly 70, the first limiting assembly 60 is used for limiting the first connecting wire 301 and guiding the first connecting wire 301, and the second limiting assembly 70 is used for limiting the second connecting wire 302 and guiding the second connecting wire 302. Thus, the multiple sockets 20 are arranged in different accommodating chambers, so that the connecting wires 30 connected to different sockets 20 can also be located in different accommodating chambers, so that the connecting wires 30 are separated, making the wiring of the multiple connecting wires 30 neater and avoiding the entanglement between the multiple connecting wires 30. In addition, the first limiting component 60 and the second limiting component 70 can also limit and guide the first connecting wire 301 and the second connecting wire 302 respectively, and the limiting and guiding effects are better.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some examples, the first socket 201 may be a three-hole socket 20 that can be used with a three-core plug, and the second socket 202 may be a USB socket 20 that can provide low-voltage charging to meet the charging requirements of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets. In other examples, more than two first sockets 201 may be provided in the first accommodating cavity 40, and more than two second sockets 202 may also be provided in the second accommodating cavity 50.

[0029] Reference Figures 2 to 4The first limiting assembly 60 includes a first limiting member 601 and a second limiting member 602, the first limiting member 601 and the second limiting member 602 are arranged at intervals, and the first limiting member 601 and the second limiting member 602 are respectively used to clamp different positions of the first connecting line 301. Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , it can also be understood that the first stopper 601 and the second stopper 602 are respectively clamped at the positions of the front section and the rear section of the first connecting line 301. It can be understood that when the positions of the first socket 201, the first stopper 601 and the second stopper 602 are distributed on the same straight line, the portion of the connecting line 30 from the socket 20 to the second stopper 602 can be in a relatively straight state. Therefore, the first stopper 601 and the second stopper 602 can not only clamp and fix the first connecting line 301, but also guide the first connecting line 301, and guide the first connecting line 301 from the position of the first stopper 601 to the position of the second stopper 602, so as to avoid the first connecting line 301 from being entangled, broken, etc. as much as possible. Usually, the connecting line 30 is easy to break in the area close to the plug in daily use, and the setting of the first stopper 601 and the second stopper 602 can reduce the occurrence of this situation.

[0030] Reference Figures 2 to 4 As an embodiment, the first limiting member 601 includes at least two first limiting posts 6011, two adjacent first limiting posts 6011 are spaced apart, and the two adjacent first limiting posts 6011 are used to clamp the two opposite sides of the first connecting line 301; the second limiting member 602 includes at least two second limiting posts 6021, two adjacent second limiting posts 6021 are spaced apart, and the two adjacent second limiting posts 6021 are used to clamp the two opposite sides of the first connecting line 301; the structure of the second limiting assembly 70 is consistent with the structure of the first limiting assembly 60. Specifically, the distance between two adjacent first limiting posts 6011 can be determined according to the diameter of the first connecting line 301, so that it can achieve the clamping and fixing effect, and the distance setting between two adjacent second limiting posts 6021 is also the same, which will not be repeated here. In some examples, the first limiting member 601 may include three first limiting columns 6011. Since two adjacent first limiting columns 6011 are spaced apart, there can be two spaced apart positions between the three first limiting columns 6011, so that they can be used to clamp the two first connecting lines 301. It can be understood that the second limiting member 602 may also include three second limiting columns 6021.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3As an embodiment, the power adapter further includes a first shell cover 80 and a second shell cover 90, wherein the first shell cover 80 is used to cover the opening of the first accommodating chamber 40, and the second shell cover 90 is used to cover the opening of the second accommodating chamber 50. In some cases, when the power adapter is used outdoors, the arrangement of the first shell cover 80 and the second shell cover 90 can play a role in shielding dust and rain. In addition, one end of the first shell cover 80 is rotatably connected to the body 10, and the other end of the first shell cover 80 is snap-connected to the body 10. Thus, the connection mode of the first shell cover 80 and the second shell cover 90 with the body 10 can facilitate the user to perform the opening and closing operation, and is convenient to use. In some examples, the first shell cover 80 and / or the second shell cover 90 can be made of a transparent material, such as transparent plastic, so that the user can observe the situation in the first accommodating chamber 40 and the second accommodating chamber 50 without opening the first shell cover 80 and / or the second shell cover 90.

[0032] Reference Figure 5 As an embodiment, a first sealing ring 801 is provided at the edge of the first shell cover 80. When the first shell cover 80 covers the first accommodating cavity 40, the first sealing ring 801 is located between the first shell cover 80 and the body 10; a second sealing ring 901 is provided at the edge of the second shell cover 90. When the second shell cover 90 covers the second accommodating cavity 50, the second sealing ring 901 is located between the second shell cover 90 and the body 10. Therefore, the provision of the first sealing ring 801 and the second sealing ring 901 can enhance the sealing of the first accommodating cavity 40 and the second accommodating cavity 50, thereby preventing liquid, dust, etc. from entering. In some examples, the first sealing ring 801 and the second sealing ring 901 can both be rubber sealing rings.

[0033] Reference Figure 5As an embodiment, the first housing cover 80 is provided with a first receiving groove 802, the main body 10 is provided with a second receiving groove 101 corresponding to the first receiving groove 802, and the second receiving groove 101 is located between the first stopper 601 and the second stopper 602; the second housing cover 90 is provided with a third receiving groove 902, the main body 10 is provided with a fourth receiving groove 102 corresponding to the third receiving groove 902, and the fourth receiving groove 102 is located between the first stopper 601 and the second stopper 602; the first receiving groove 802, the second receiving groove 101, the third receiving groove 902 and the fourth receiving groove 102 are all provided with a sealing member 11, and the sealing member 11 is used to wrap the outer wall of the connecting wire 30. Specifically, since the connecting wire 30 will pass through the first stopper 601 and the second stopper 602 and then pass out of the outside of the power adapter, that is, the area where the first stopper 601 and the second stopper 602 are set and the inner and outer boundaries of the power adapter, it is extremely easy to get water and dust. Therefore, a seal 11 is provided in each of the first receiving groove 802, the second receiving groove 101, the third receiving groove 902 and the fourth receiving groove 102. When the first shell cover 80 covers the first receiving cavity 40, or the second shell cover 90 covers the second receiving cavity 50, the seal 11 in the first receiving groove 802 can wrap the outer wall of the first connecting line 301 together with the seal 11 in the second receiving groove, and the seal 11 in the third receiving groove 902 can wrap the outer wall of the second connecting line 302 together with the seal 11 in the fourth receiving groove, so as to well isolate the external liquid and dust, and achieve a good waterproof and dustproof effect. In some examples, the seal 11 can be made of materials such as rubber and synthetic resin.

[0034] Reference Figure 6 As an embodiment, the first accommodating cavity 40 has a bottom wall 401 and an inclined wall 402 inside. The bottom wall 401 is arranged relative to the opening of the first accommodating cavity 40. The inclined wall 402 is inclined from the bottom wall 401 toward the opening of the first accommodating cavity 40. The angle of inclination of the inclined wall 402 relative to the bottom wall 401 is between 30 and 60 degrees. The first socket 201 is arranged on the inclined wall 402. Therefore, the first socket 201 is arranged on the inclined wall 402, which can facilitate users to plug and unplug the plug. Specifically, when the power adapter is hung on the wall, the bottom wall 401 is parallel to the wall, and the inclined wall 402 is inclined relative to the wall. Therefore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the plug and the connecting wire 30 inserted into the first socket 201 can face the floor, thereby making it convenient for the user to plug and unplug the plug. In addition, due to the setting of the inclined angle of the inclined wall 402, the connecting wire 30 and the plug will not be bent excessively. On the contrary, if the plug is directly inserted into a surface parallel to the wall, the connecting wire 30 will be bent at 90 degrees near the plug, which is easy to damage the connecting wire 30.

[0035] In some examples, the inclined wall 402 is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the bottom wall 401 .

[0036] Reference Figure 6 As an embodiment, the power adapter includes a leakage protection module 12, which is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 40 or the second accommodating cavity 50. Therefore, the power supply can be quickly cut off after the leakage phenomenon is detected to protect personal safety, and short circuit and other faults caused by leakage can be prevented, fire accidents can be avoided, and power safety can be ensured.

[0037] As an embodiment, the leakage protection module 12 includes a leakage protection circuit breaker and a humidity sensor, and the humidity sensor is electrically connected to the leakage protection circuit breaker. Specifically, the humidity in the air can be detected by providing a humidity sensor. For example, when the power adapter is used outdoors, it is rainy or the air humidity is high, and the leakage protection module 12 detects that the humidity in the first accommodating chamber 40 or the second accommodating chamber 50 exceeds a preset value, the leakage protection circuit breaker is disconnected for protection.

[0038] In some examples, an LED indicator light 13 may be further provided in the first accommodating cavity 40 , and the LED indicator light 13 may be used to indicate the usage status of the power adapter. When the power adapter is powered on, the LED indicator light 13 lights up.

[0039] Although the utility model is specifically described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, it is to be understood that the above description does not limit the utility model in any form. Those skilled in the art can modify and change the utility model as needed without departing from the essential spirit and scope of the utility model, and these modifications and changes all fall within the scope of the utility model.
