Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of smart furniture, and in particular to an elastic locking socket and a smart sofa. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing long-term use of smart portable terminals, they need to pursue a certain degree of portability, but their battery capacity often supports a relatively short usage time. For example, for a smart phone, the general continuous usage time for playing games or watching videos is generally 3 - 4 hours, and then the smart phone needs to be charged. If there is no charger or socket, users often need to carry a power bank or use a spare smart phone.

[0003] With the rise of smart furniture, for example, for smart sofas, users also use the sofas for a relatively long time. To meet the usage habits of users, many smart sofas are equipped with sockets such as USB or Type-C.

[0004] However, the existing socket designs of smart sofas still have the following problems:

[0005] First, the socket is generally installed and locked in the sofa by means of threaded fasteners. When maintenance is required, the threaded fasteners need to be disassembled to release the lock, and after the repair is completed and taken out, it is necessary to lock and install again.

[0006] Second, the sizes of general USB or Type-C sockets are relatively small. They are generally installed on the sofa with the head facing outwards, but the main body structure and wires of the socket are accommodated inside the sofa, lacking support, resulting in the head being prone to looseness. For example, the external socket is easily loosened due to the insertion and extraction of USB or Type-C cables, or the USB or Type-C socket is loosened when the sofa is moved, thus leading to unstable electrical connection. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of the present disclosure is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide an elastic locking socket and a smart sofa that can be easily disassembled and assembled and prevent loosening by means of an elastic locking fin group added on the housing and elastically supported in the installation hole of the sofa.

[0008] The purpose of the present disclosure is achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0009] An elastic locking socket, comprising a housing, a socket body and a power supply member. The socket body is provided with a USB interface and / or a Type-C interface. The elastic locking socket is used to be inserted into a mounting hole of a sofa. The housing includes a head, a middle shell, a group of elastic locking fins and a bottom shell. The socket body is disposed on the head. The group of elastic locking fins includes a plurality of elastic locking fins obliquely arranged on the outer wall of the middle shell. The elastic locking fins are configured to elastically deform when the elastic locking socket is inserted into the mounting hole and abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole.

[0010] The bottom shell is connected to one end of the middle shell away from the head. The power supply member passes through the bottom shell and is also electrically connected to the socket body.

[0011] In one embodiment, the head includes a limiting end cap and a mounting portion connected to each other. The socket body is disposed on the mounting portion. At least a part of the limiting end cap protrudes from the mounting hole.

[0012] In one embodiment, the socket body is provided with a PCB board, and the power supply member is soldered to a pad on the PCB board.

[0013] In one embodiment, the power supply member includes a power supply base and a wire, and the power supply base and the wire are connected through a male-female end.

[0014] In one embodiment, a plurality of the elastic locking fins are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the middle shell. The first end of each elastic locking fin is soldered to the outer wall of the middle shell, and the second end of each elastic locking fin is inclined towards the limiting end cap.

[0015] In one embodiment, a preset inclination angle is formed between the plane where the middle shell is located and the plane where the elastic locking fin is located.

[0016] In one embodiment, the preset inclination angle is 30°-45°.

[0017] In one embodiment, the elastic locking fins are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the outer wall of the middle shell along the center line of the middle shell.

[0018] In one embodiment, the elastic locking socket further includes an elastic snap fastener, and the elastic snap fastener is disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the middle shell adjacent to the bottom shell.

[0019] An intelligent sofa includes the elastic locking socket described in any of the above embodiments. The intelligent sofa includes a sofa body and a mounting seat. The mounting seat is arranged on the sofa body, and the mounting seat has a mounting sleeve. The mounting sleeve is provided with the mounting hole, and the opening of the mounting hole faces the external space. The elastic locking fins are used to elastically deform and abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole when the elastic locking socket is inserted into the mounting hole.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0021] Since a plurality of inclined elastic locking fins are arranged on the outer wall of the middle shell, when the elastic locking socket is inserted into the mounting hole of the sofa, each elastic locking fin can elastically support on the inner wall of the mounting hole, ensuring that the elastic locking socket can be firmly connected to the sofa and realizing the firmness of the installation of the elastic locking socket. Also, because the elastic locking fins have elastic deformation, the operator can complete the installation of the elastic locking socket without using threaded fasteners for locking. When disassembling the elastic locking socket, the plurality of elastic locking fins can elastically contract, facilitating the operator to take out the elastic locking socket. Therefore, the added inclined elastic locking fins, on the one hand, ensure the convenience of disassembling and assembling the elastic locking socket, and on the other hand, the elastic support of the elastic locking fins avoids the loosening of the elastic locking socket when unplugging and plugging USB cables, Type-C cables or moving the sofa, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection of the elastic locking socket.

[0031] To better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0032] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the elastic locking socket 10 of an embodiment includes a housing 100, a socket body 200 and a power supply member. The socket body 200 is provided with a USB interface and / or a Type-C interface. The elastic locking socket 10 is used to be inserted into the mounting hole 20 of the sofa. The housing 100 includes a head 110, a middle shell 120, a set of elastic locking fins and a bottom shell 130. The socket body 200 is arranged on the head 110. The set of elastic locking fins includes a plurality of elastic locking fins 140 obliquely arranged on the outer wall of the middle shell 120. The elastic locking fins 140 are used to elastically deform when the elastic locking socket 10 is inserted into the mounting hole 20 and abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole 20. The bottom shell 130 is connected to one end of the middle shell 120 away from the head 110. The power supply member passes through the bottom shell 130 and is also electrically connected to the socket body 200.

[0033] It can be understood that since a number of inclined elastic locking fins 140 are provided on the outer wall of the middle shell 120, the elastic locking socket 10 is inserted into the installation hole 20 of the sofa. The elastic locking fins 140 can elastically support on the inner wall of the installation hole 20, ensuring that the elastic locking socket 10 can be firmly connected to the sofa and realizing the firm installation of the elastic locking socket 10. Also, because the elastic locking fins 140 have elastic deformation, the operator can complete the installation of the elastic locking socket 10 without using threaded fasteners for locking. When disassembling the elastic locking socket 10, the number of elastic locking fins 140 can elastically contract, facilitating the operator to take out the elastic locking socket 10. Therefore, the added inclined elastic locking fins 140, on the one hand, ensure the convenience of disassembling and assembling the elastic locking socket 10, and on the other hand, the elastic support of the elastic locking fins 140 prevents the elastic locking socket 10 from loosening when unplugging and plugging the USB cable, Type-C cable or moving the sofa, thus ensuring the stability of the electrical connection of the elastic locking socket 10.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in one of the embodiments, the head 110 includes a connected limit end cap 111 and an installation part 112. The socket body 200 is arranged on the installation part 112, and at least part of the limit end cap 111 protrudes from the installation hole 20. It can be understood that since the socket body 200 is arranged on the installation part 112, and the socket body 200 is provided with a USB interface and / or a Type-C interface, it is convenient for the user to directly connect to the USB interface or the Type-C interface when charging is needed, improving the convenience and selectivity of different cable connections for the user to charge. Also, because at least part of the limit end cap 111 protrudes from the installation hole 20, the protruding limit end cap 111, on the one hand, facilitates the operator to disassemble and assemble the elastic locking socket 10, and on the other hand, when the elastic locking socket 10 is inserted into the installation hole 20, it prevents the entire elastic locking socket 10 from falling into the installation hole 20, thus improving the convenience of disassembling and assembling the elastic locking socket 10.

[0035] In one of the embodiments, the socket body 200 is provided with a PCB board, and the power supply component is welded to the pads on the PCB board. It can be understood that since the power supply component is welded to the pads on the PCB board of the socket body 200, the welding connection method ensures a stable electrical connection between the power supply component and the PCB board, effectively reducing the situation of poor contact or open circuit between the power supply component and the socket body 200, ensuring the stability and continuity of current transmission, and thus improving the power supply reliability of the elastic locking socket 10.

[0036] In one embodiment, the power supply component includes a power supply base 300 and a wire (not shown in the figure). The power supply base 300 and the wire (not shown in the figure) are connected through male and female terminals. It can be understood that the connection of the male and female terminals of the power supply base and the wire (not shown in the figure) not only makes the connection method between the power supply base 300 and the wire (not shown in the figure) more convenient, realizing the convenience of plugging and unplugging between the power supply base 300 and the wire (not shown in the figure), but also facilitates separate replacement when the power supply base 300 or the wire (not shown in the figure) is damaged, improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance. At the same time, this connection method can ensure good contact performance and the stability of electrical connection. In this embodiment, the wire (not shown in the figure) is the male terminal and the power supply base is the female terminal. In other embodiments, the wire (not shown in the figure) is the female terminal and the power supply base is the male terminal.

[0037] In one embodiment, a plurality of elastic locking fins 140 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the middle shell 120. The first ends of the elastic locking fins 140 are welded to the outer wall of the middle shell 120, and the second ends of the elastic locking fins 140 are inclined towards the limiting end cover 111. It can be understood that since a plurality of elastic locking fins 140 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the middle shell 120, the uniformity and stability of the elastic locking of the plurality of elastic locking fins 140 are improved; since the first ends of the elastic locking fins 140 are welded to the outer wall of the middle shell 120, the firmness of the connection between each elastic locking fin 140 and the middle shell 120 is ensured, and the second ends of the elastic locking fins 140 are inclined towards the limiting end cover 111, so that the elastic locking socket 10 can more smoothly undergo elastic deformation and provide an effective locking force when inserted into the mounting hole 20, thereby improving the firmness of the installation of the elastic locking socket 10.

[0038] In one embodiment, a preset inclined angle is formed between the plane where the middle shell 120 is located and the plane where the elastic locking fins 140 are located. It can be understood that since a preset inclined angle is formed between the plane where the middle shell 120 is located and the plane where the elastic locking fins 140 are located, the stability of the elastic deformation of the elastic locking fins 140 can be improved, and the inclined setting can ensure the firmness during installation.

[0039] In one embodiment, the preset inclined angle is 30° - 45°. It can be understood that since the preset inclined angle formed between the elastic locking fins 140 and the middle shell 120 is set between 30° - 45°, while ensuring that the elastic locking socket 10 is easy to insert into the mounting hole 20, sufficient locking force is provided to prevent the elastic locking socket 10 from loosening during movement or plugging and unplugging, thereby affecting the electrical connection of the elastic locking socket 10.

[0040] In one embodiment, the elastic locking fins 140 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the outer wall of the middle shell 120 along the center line of the middle shell 120. It can be understood that since the elastic locking fins 140 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the outer wall of the middle shell 120 along the center line of the middle shell 120, the symmetrical arrangement of the elastic locking fins 140 enables the elastic locking socket 10 to be evenly stressed when inserted into the mounting hole 20, further improving the locking stability and reliability and reducing the skew or loosening caused by uneven stress.

[0041] In one embodiment, the elastic locking socket 10 further includes an elastic snap 400, and the elastic snap 400 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the middle shell 120 adjacent to the bottom shell 130. It can be understood that the arrangement of the elastic snap 400 enhances the fixing and locking effects, and in cooperation with the elastic locking fins 140, further improves the stability of the elastic locking socket 10 in the mounting hole 20, preventing the elastic locking socket 10 from accidentally falling off, thereby ensuring the stability and firmness of the installation of the elastic locking socket 10.

[0042] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the present disclosure also provides an intelligent sofa, including the elastic locking socket 10 described in any of the above embodiments. The intelligent sofa includes a sofa body and a mounting seat. The mounting seat is arranged on the sofa body, and the mounting seat has a mounting sleeve 1. The mounting sleeve 1 is provided with a mounting hole 20, and the opening of the mounting hole 20 is arranged facing the external space. The elastic locking fins 140 are configured to elastically deform and abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole 20 when the elastic locking socket 10 is inserted into the mounting hole 20.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0044] Since a plurality of inclined elastic locking fins 140 are arranged on the outer wall of the middle shell 120, when the elastic locking socket 10 is inserted into the mounting hole 20 of the sofa, each elastic locking fin 140 can elastically support on the inner wall of the mounting hole 20, ensuring that the elastic locking socket 10 can be firmly connected to the sofa and realizing the firmness of the installation of the elastic locking socket 10. Also, since the elastic locking fins 140 have elastic deformation, the operator can complete the installation of the elastic locking socket 10 without using threaded fasteners for locking. When disassembling the elastic locking socket 10, the plurality of elastic locking fins 140 can elastically contract, facilitating the operator to take out the elastic locking socket 10. Therefore, the added inclined elastic locking fins 140, on the one hand, ensure the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the elastic locking socket 10, and on the other hand, the elastic support of the elastic locking fins 140 avoids the loosening of the elastic locking socket 10 when unplugging and plugging USB cables, Type-C cables or moving the sofa, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection of the elastic locking socket 10.

[0045] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present disclosure. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
