Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of power sockets, and in particular relates to a locking mechanism of a pop-up socket and a pop-up socket using the locking mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A pop-up socket is a power socket that integrates a power interface and can be ejected or retracted. It is usually installed on a desktop or workbench to facilitate access to the power interface and keep the desktop neat and aesthetically pleasing. Patent document CN202384566U discloses an opening structure for a pop-up floor socket, including a panel and a frame at the bottom of the panel. The panel has a cover plate slot and a pull plate slot, and a pull plate is installed in the pull plate slot. An elastic pressing and sliding structure is provided between the pull plate and the frame, which can be pressed against the frame and removed. Due to the provision of an elastic pressing and sliding structure, during operation, the pull plate must first be pressed downward and then pulled backward to eject the frame. In actual use, some technical problems have been found. Specifically, during operation, the user needs to overcome the resistance of pressing and pulling on the pull plate at the same time. This means that there are high requirements for finger strength and friction. When the fingers are wet or there are other conditions that cause the friction to decrease, it will make it more difficult to open the socket. Utility Model Content

[0024] In the first aspect, the present invention provides a locking mechanism for a pop-up socket. Figures 2 to 5 When the lock 33 is unlocked, the cam 33 is unlocked and the lock 33 is in a locked state, so that the lock 33 can be unlocked.

[0025] The locking mechanism 3 of the pop-up socket in this embodiment is set to a strip structure, and the strip button 31 is large in size. By pressing the strip button 31 downward, the lock bar 33 can be controlled to unlock, which is convenient for users to operate and can effectively improve the user experience. Moreover, the locking mechanism 3 in this application has a reasonable structure and is easy to assemble. During production, the strip button 31 is installed on the strip bracket 32 using the connecting shaft 35, and then the lock bar 33 and the spring 34 are installed on the strip bracket 32 from the bottom to form a complete locking mechanism. Finally, the locking mechanism 3 is fixed to the socket face frame 1, and the strip bracket 32 is fixed to the socket face frame 1, which is convenient for assembly and production.

[0026] In some embodiments, a downwardly protruding pivot shaft 334 is provided in the mounting slot 321, and a pivot hole 331, a locking portion 333 and an unlocking portion 332 are provided on the lock bar 33. The pivot hole 331 is sleeved with the pivot shaft 334 so that the lock bar 33 can rotate around the pivot shaft 334. The locking portion 333 is used to lock the jump frame mechanism 2 after extending out of the mounting slot 321. Under the elastic force of the spring 34, the unlocking portion 332 is against the side of the touch plate 311. When the jump frame mechanism 2 needs to be opened, the unlocking portion 332 is pressed against the side of the touch plate 311. The lock bar 333 is pressed down to apply a lateral thrust to the unlocking portion 332 through the touch panel 311, driving the lock bar 33 to rotate, so that the locking portion 333 moves in a direction away from the frame jumping mechanism 2, thereby separating the locking portion 333 from the frame jumping mechanism 2 to release the lock of the frame jumping mechanism 2; after the pressure applied to the bar button 31 is released, the elastic force applied to the lock bar 33 by the spring 34 further acts on the touch panel 311, which can provide an upward elastic force for the bar button 31.

[0027] In some embodiments, the bar button 31 is movably mounted on the bar bracket 32 via a connecting shaft 35. A rib may be provided on the inner side of the bar button 21 to enhance the overall strength of the bar button 21.

[0028] In some embodiments, the upper portion of the strip bracket 32 is provided with a ridge 322 extending along its length; the strip button 31 is provided with a downwardly protruding connection block 312, the connection block 312 is positioned opposite to the ridge 322, the ridge 322 is provided with a first socket, the connection block 312 is provided with a second socket, the connection shaft 35 is inserted into the first socket and the second socket, the connection shaft 35 and the first socket are clearance fit, and the connection shaft 35 and the second socket are interference fit, thereby fixing the connection shaft 35 to the connection block 312 and enabling the strip button 31 to move flexibly relative to the strip bracket 32; in actual operation, the connection shaft 35 and the first socket are interference fit, and the connection shaft 35 and the second socket are clearance fit.

[0029] Exemplarily, the spring 34 is a helical compression spring, one end of which is connected to the strip bracket 32 and the other end is connected to the lock bar 33; in actual operation, the spring 34 can also be a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the pivot shaft 334 to provide the required elastic force for the lock bar 33.

[0030] In some embodiments, the pivot shaft 334 is integrally formed with the strip bracket 32, which can reduce the complexity of assembly and reduce production costs. A positioning hole 12 is provided on the socket surface frame 1, and the lower end of the pivot shaft 334 is inserted into the positioning hole 12 so that the installation position of the locking mechanism 3 can be accurately positioned, and the limiting effect of the pivot shaft 334 on the locking bar 33 can be strengthened.

[0031] In some embodiments, a threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the strip bracket 32, and a bolt through-hole is provided on the surface frame 30 at a position corresponding to the threaded hole. The fastening screw 36 passes through the bolt through-hole and is screwed into the threaded hole, thereby reliably fixing the strip bracket 32 to the socket surface frame 30.

[0032] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a pop-up socket in an embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a socket face frame 1, and a jump frame mechanism 2 and a locking mechanism 3 arranged on the socket face frame 1. The locking mechanism 3 is used to lock the jump frame mechanism 2 so that the jump frame mechanism 2 remains in a closed state. When the jump frame mechanism 2 needs to be opened, the locking mechanism 3 is controlled to release the lock of the jump frame mechanism 2, and the jump frame mechanism 2 pops up upward; the locking mechanism 3 adopts the locking mechanism described in any of the above embodiments; the pop-up socket has all the advantages of the above-mentioned locking mechanism, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0033] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
