Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a multi - in - one travel socket. Background Art

[0002] The socket standards in different countries or regions are different. To be compatible with both two - pole and three - pole usage environments, there is a design of telescopic or foldable grounding pins in plugs. By retracting or extending the grounding pins from the converter housing, the mutual conversion between two - pole and three - pole is achieved. However, such designs have defects: when in use, the user moves the corresponding plug to the working position by pushing, pressing or flipping and then inserts it into the target socket. But when using one plug, it is often easy to pull out other plugs. Therefore, relatively complex structures such as ejection, locking, and unlocking need to be designed for the telescopic or foldable pins in the converter housing, which has high requirements for the internal space of the converter housing, and the production difficulty and cost are also relatively high.

[0024] The solution of the present application will be further described as follows in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0025] Refer to the attached Figures 1 to 10 , the multi-functional travel socket includes a socket body 1 and a plurality of plug assemblies 2 that can be respectively assembled and used with the socket body 1. The socket body 1 is provided with a docking groove 11 for the plug assembly 2 to be embedded, and a first electrode 12 for electrically connecting with the plug assembly 2 is arranged in the docking groove 11; the docking groove 11 has an opening 10, and the opening 10 is sealed by an elastically resetable stopper 13. When a force is applied to press down the stopper 13, the opening 10 is opened, and the plug assembly 2 can be embedded into the docking groove 11. After the plug assembly 2 is completely embedded into the docking groove 11, when the applied force is removed, the stopper 13 resets upward to seal the opening 10 again, and the withdrawal limit of the plug assembly 2 is realized. Specifically, the plug assembly 2 includes a base 21 and pins 22 arranged on the base 21. A second electrode 23 for contacting the first electrode 12 is arranged on the bottom surface of the base 21. Guide blocks / guide rails 24 are arranged on both sides of the base 21, and guide grooves 14 adapted to the guide blocks / guide rails 24 are arranged in the docking groove 11.

[0026] In the storage state, the plug components 2 are stacked and combined, and an opening 20 is formed in the base 21 of the plug component 2 located in the upper layer, through which the pin 22 of the plug component 2 located in the lower layer can pass; in the use state, any one of the plug components 2 is taken and assembled with the socket body 1 for use.

[0027] In the present utility model, a socket body 1 is provided with a plurality of plug components 2, which simplifies the internal structure of the socket body 1. There is no need to design complex ejecting, locking, unlocking and other structures as in the telescopic or folding pin scheme. When in use, just directly select the corresponding standard plug component 2 for assembly. The structure is simple, the cost is low, and there will be no mechanical failures such as telescoping or folding. At the same time, a stacked combination design is adopted, which minimizes the space occupied by the plug components 2, and the stacked group can be docked and integrated with the socket body 1 to achieve small-space storage and avoid the problem that the plug components 2 are scattered and difficult to find.

[0028] Further, the plug component 2 is divided into a main plug component 201 and several sub-plug components 202. When stacked and combined, the main plug component 201 is located at the bottom layer, and the sub-plug components 202 are stacked thereon in sequence. An opening 20 is formed in the base 21 of the sub-plug component 202, through which the pin of the plug component located in the lower layer can pass. The main plug component 201 is assembled in the docking groove 11 of the socket body 1, and the sub-plug components 202 are stacked thereon in sequence. The pins of the main plug component 201 are exposed from the top of the stacked structure. The through-type design of the main plug component 201 can, on the one hand, make the main plug component 201 play the role of a support, making the stacked structure more stable. On the other hand, the main plug component 201 can also be used to connect the external power supply component 3. The external power supply component 3 includes a main body seat 31 and a power cord 32 extending from the main body seat 31. The main body seat 31 has a third electrode 33 for docking the pins of the main plug component 201. The end of the power cord 32 is provided with a plug. A hole position for the pin of the main plug component 201 to penetrate is formed on the main body seat 31, and the third electrode 33 is arranged at the hole position. Here, the external power supply component 3 has a power cord 32 that can be connected to the on-site power supply at a certain distance to obtain power, and then the socket body 1 can be powered by contacting the main plug component 201, which is convenient for use in scenarios with distance requirements.

[0029] Further, the socket body 1 is equipped with a bottom cover 4 for surrounding the plug components 2 in the stacked and combined state. The cover edge of the bottom cover 4 is buckled with the socket body 1, and a wire hole / groove 41 for the power cord 32 of the external power supply component 3 to pass through is formed on the bottom cover 4.

[0030] Further, refer to the appendix Figure 11 and 12, a locking member 34 for cooperating with the main plug assembly 201 for locking is provided on the main body base 31. The locking member 34 includes a locking tongue 341 and a toggle handle 342 for linking the locking tongue 341. The toggle handle 342 is exposed on the main body base 31. The main plug assembly 201 has a card slot 2011 for cooperating with the locking tongue 341. The locking member 34 is to ensure a stable connection during extended power supply and prevent the connection of the power cord 32 from being broken by external force. During use, first remove the sub-plug assembly 202, only keep the main plug assembly 201 connected to the socket body 1, then connect the main body base 31 to the pins of the main plug assembly 201 and insert the locking tongue 341 into the card slot 2011 to achieve locking. During disassembly, use your hand to toggle the toggle handle 342 to bring the locking tongue 341 away from the card slot 2011, and then separate the main body base 31 from the pins of the main plug assembly 201.

[0031] The above preferred implementation manners should be regarded as examples of the implementation manners of the application solution of the present application. Any technical deductions, substitutions, improvements, etc. that are identical, similar to or based on the application solution of the present application shall be regarded as the protection scope of this patent.
