[0027] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are given as examples and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] See also Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a power strip with a convenient replacement of a flip cover, comprising a power strip housing 1 with a socket 11 mounted thereon, a mounting member 2, and a flip cover 3 detachably mounted on the rear side of the power strip housing 1, the mounting member 2 being mounted at both ends of the power strip housing 1, a clip 21 with an opening facing backward being provided on the rear side of the upper end surface of the mounting member 2, the installation height of the clip 21 being higher than the upper surface height of the socket 11, a slot 31 with an opening facing the upper end direction of the flip cover 3 being provided at the lower end of the flip cover 3, an assembly opening 311 being provided at the mounting position of the slot 31 corresponding to the clip 21, a connecting column 312 being clamped in the assembly opening 311, and the clip 21 and the slot 31 being staggered and buckled together by the connecting column 312.

[0029] When in use, the user can rotate the flip cover 3 along the connecting column 312 to adjust the opening and closing state of the socket 11 according to his own needs. When the user needs to replace the old flip cover 3, the old flip cover 3 together with the connecting column 312 can be directly pulled out from the buckle 21 at the rear end of the mounting member 2, the connecting column 312 can be taken out from the card slot 31 of the old flip cover 3, and then the new flip cover 3 can be installed and fixed with the connecting column 312 and the buckle 21 in turn. The operation is very convenient and the replacement efficiency of the flip cover 3 is high, so that the user can replace the flip cover 3 according to the requirements of the newness or color of the flip cover 3 to meet the user's personalized needs.

[0030] A locking structure 22 is provided on the side of the mounting member 2 of the present invention away from the buckle 21, and a locking member 32 is provided on the side of the flip cover 3 away from the card slot 31 at the position corresponding to the locking structure 22. The locking member 32 cooperates with the locking structure 22 to fix the flip cover 3 relatively firmly on the power strip housing 1 to prevent the flip cover 3 from tilting up when not in use and affecting the flatness of the desktop. In some embodiments, only one of the mounting members 2 may be provided with a locking structure 22, while the other does not, so that the user can unlock the switch with one hand for easy operation.

[0031] Considering that the fastening strength of the buckle 21 to the connecting column 312 will decrease after multiple replacements, the mounting member 2 can be replaced to use a new buckle 21 structure to ensure the connection stability of the flip cover 3. Therefore, the mounting member 2 in the present invention can be detachably mounted on both ends of the power strip housing 1. A coordination groove 23 is provided on the outer side of the mounting member 2. The upper end of the coordination groove 23 is connected to the top surface of the mounting member 2 and is equipped with a mounting screw 24. A gasket 25 is threadedly connected to the mounting screw 24. The lower end of the coordination groove 23 is provided with a transverse groove 26 connected to the coordination groove 23. The upper end of the mounting member 2 extends outward with an extension plate 27 for supporting on the desktop;

[0032] When the power strip of the present invention needs to be installed, first fix the mounting member 2 on both ends of the power strip housing 1, insert the mounting screws 24 into the coordination grooves 23 from the upper end surface of the mounting member 2, and then rotate the gasket 25 along the external thread of the mounting screw 24 and sleeve it on the lower end of the mounting screw 24. Turn the mounting screw 24 to adjust the gasket 25 to be completely located in the transverse groove 26. Then, lower the power strip housing 1 as a whole from the mounting position on the desktop panel, and support the two sides of the desktop panel mounting position through the extension plate 27 at the upper end of the mounting member 2 to limit the downward displacement of the power strip housing 1. During the lowering process of the power strip housing 1, since the gasket 25 is placed in the transverse groove 2 6, so the side of the mounting member 2 will not get stuck with the edge of the installation position of the desktop panel. After the strip housing 1 is placed stably, the user uses a screwdriver to turn the mounting screw 24, so that the gasket 25 comes out of the transverse groove 26 and enters the lower end of the coordination groove 23. The mounting screw 24 is continuously turned. Since the gasket 25 is laterally limited by the coordination groove 23, as the mounting screw 24 is turned, the gasket 25 can move upward along the external thread of the mounting screw 24 until the upper surface of the gasket 25 contacts the lower surface of the desktop panel. The desktop panel is clamped above and below by the extension plate 27 and the gasket 25 respectively, so that the strip housing 1 is stably mounted on the desktop panel.

[0033] Accordingly, when the user needs to replace the mounting part 2, he or she can simply rotate the mounting screw 24 in the opposite direction until the gasket 25 is re-placed in the transverse groove 26, and then the power strip can be taken out as a whole to replace the mounting part 2. Compared with the existing power strips that require drilling under the desktop to perform the operation, the power strip of the utility model is simple and convenient to assemble and disassemble, and the entire process can be performed above the desktop, which has high assembly and disassembly efficiency and saves time and effort.

[0034] It should be noted that when the gasket 25 is placed in the transverse groove 26, in order to prevent the gasket 25 from sliding in the transverse groove 26, the mounting screws 24 can be tightened before the power strip housing 1 is placed on the desktop panel, so that the upper surface of the gasket 25 is close to the top surface of the transverse groove 26. One specific implementation method for further strengthening the placement of the gasket 25 in the transverse groove 26 is as follows. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a first protrusion 261 is provided in the transverse groove 26, and a guide slope 262 and a first limiting slope 263 are provided on the first protrusion 261. A second protrusion 251 is provided on the gasket 25, and a second limiting slope 252 corresponding to the limiting slope is provided on the second protrusion 251. When the gasket 25 is placed in the transverse groove 26, the second limiting slope 252 on the gasket 25 and the first limiting slope 263 on the transverse groove 26 are in close contact. When the power strip housing 1 is completely placed in the desktop panel and stabilized and the gasket 25 needs to be removed, the mounting screw 24 is first loosened, and then the gasket 25 is driven to rotate by rotating the mounting screw 24, so that the first limiting slope 263 and the second limiting slope 252 are separated from each other, and then the second limiting slope 252 slides out of the transverse groove 26 along the guide slope 262. The first limiting inclined surface 263 and the second limiting inclined surface 252 enhance the stability of the gasket 25 in the transverse groove 26 , thereby preventing the gasket 25 from moving and obstructing the assembly of the power strip housing 1 and the desktop panel.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rubber plug 4 is provided at the position where the upper end surface of the mounting part 2 in the embodiment of the utility model is connected to the coordination groove 23. After the mounting screw 24 is assembled, the rubber plug 4 is inserted into the top surface covering the mounting screw 24. On the one hand, it maintains the overall aesthetics of the mounting part 2 on the desktop, and on the other hand, it isolates and protects the top surface of the mounting screw 24 from the outside world to prevent the mounting screw 24 from being oxidized and deformed and affecting the disassembly and assembly. When the mounting screw 24 needs to be operated, the rubber plug 4 can be picked up.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, there are many ways to detachably connect the mounting member 2 and the strip housing 1 in the present invention, such as a snap-on 21 connection, a screw connection, a magnetic connection, a threaded connection, etc. In this embodiment, a screw connection is adopted. Specifically, mounting grooves 12 with internal threads are provided on both sides of the inner surface of the strip housing 1, and a screw hole 121 is provided on the mounting member 2 for inserting a screw at one end of the mounting groove 12. The mounting groove 12 is connected by inserting a screw into the screw hole 121, so that the mounting member 2 and the strip housing 1 are easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the alignment of the mounting member 2 and the power strip housing 1, a plurality of guide blocks 28 are provided on the side of the mounting member 2 close to the power strip housing 1 in the embodiment of the utility model. When installing, the guide blocks 28 are inserted into the power strip housing 1, and the mounting member 2 is automatically aligned and set on one side of the power strip housing 1, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0038] In order to enhance the installation stability of the mounting member 2 and the strip housing 1, a first connecting groove 271 is provided on the lower end surface of the extension plate 27 of the mounting member 2 in the embodiment of the utility model, and second connecting grooves 13 communicating with the first connecting groove 271 are provided on both sides of the strip housing 1. The first connecting groove 271 and the second connecting groove 13 are jointly equipped with fasteners 5, that is, after the connecting member and the strip housing 1 are aligned, their relative positions can be limited and fixed by the fasteners 5.

[0039] The sockets 11 in the embodiment of the present invention are all detachably installed in the power strip housing 1. Each socket 11 can be individually disassembled and assembled to realize a modular combination of the sockets 11. The damaged modules can be replaced individually. The modular design of the sockets 11 facilitates customer customization of modules and subsequent replacement of damaged modules, thereby achieving economic benefits.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present application. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present application fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
