Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power strips, and in particular to a power strip with a rotatable power cord. Background Art

[0002] Traditional power strips have power cords fixed to the main body, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the cord's orientation during use. This makes them unsuitable for certain space requirements. For example, in confined spaces, the power cords can be forcibly bent and damaged due to the inability to adjust their orientation. Therefore, there is a need for a power strip that allows for flexible cord orientation. Utility Model Content

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The utility model provides a power strip 100 with a rotatable power cord, comprising a strip body 1, a plurality of sockets arranged in the strip body 1, and a power cord 5. After the power cord 5 is electrically connected to the plurality of sockets, it passes through one end of the strip body 1.

[0023] The power strip body 1 has a notch 11 at the exit end of the power cord 5, and a rotating clamp 6 is installed at the notch 11. The portion of the power cord 5 passing through the power strip body 1 is clamped in the rotating clamp 6 and rotates along with the rotating clamp 6 at the notch 11.

[0024] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rotating clamping member 6 is provided with a through hole 61. The power cord 5 passes through the through hole 61 and is tightly fitted therein. The two side surfaces of the rotating clamping member 6 are respectively adjacent to the two inner walls of the notch 11; and the two side surfaces of the rotating clamping member 6 are rotatably connected to the two inner walls of the notch 11.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 2 Preferably, protrusions 63 are provided on both sides of the rotating clamp 6; grooves 65 for receiving the protrusions 63 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the notch 11; the protrusions 63 rotate in the grooves 65, causing the power cord 5 to rotate along with the protrusions 63. Alternatively, protrusions 63 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the notch 11; grooves 65 for receiving the protrusions 63 are provided on both sides of the rotating clamp 6.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the rotating clamp 6 includes a first clamping block 6a and a second clamping block 6b symmetrically arranged. The first clamping block 6a and the second clamping block 6b are interlocked and connected. Furthermore, a through hole 61 is provided at the junction of the first clamping block 6a and the second clamping block 6b, through which the power cord 5 passes and fits tightly. This allows the power cord 5 to be conveniently grasped and rotated by the rotating clamp 6 to change its placement direction.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 Specifically, the power strip body 1 includes a symmetrically arranged first housing 12 and a second housing 13. The first and second housings 12, 13 overlap to form a receiving cavity. Several jacks are disposed in the first housing 12 and communicate with the receiving cavity. The notch 11 communicates with the receiving cavity, and the power cord 5 extends from the rotating clamp 6 into the receiving cavity and is electrically connected to the jacks. It is understood that several jacks may also be disposed in the second housing 13 and communicate with the receiving cavity.

[0028] Preferably, the first shell 12 and the second shell 13 have the same size, and the notch 11 is arranged at the connection between the first shell 12 and the second shell 13. That is, the notch 11 is arranged in the central area where the first shell 12 and the second shell 13 are connected; the inner walls on both sides of the notch 11 are respectively a part of the first shell 12 and a part of the second shell 13, which are symmetrical to each other. In this way, when the rotating clamp 6 rotates relative to the inner walls on both sides of the notch 11, the supporting force of the inner walls on both sides of the notch 11 is equal, so that the rotating clamp 6 can be stably supported and rotated by the inner walls on both sides of the notch 11. In this embodiment, the outer surface of the first shell 12 is provided with an anti-slip part 15 to meet the anti-slip requirements of use. It can be understood that the anti-slip part 15 can also be provided on the outer surface of the second shell 13.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 Furthermore, a wire tail fixing member 9 is provided at the connection between the power cord 5 and the rotating clamp 6. One end of the wire tail fixing member 9 is clamped to the bottom end of the hole wall of the through hole 61, and the other end thereof extends out of the through hole 61 and covers the power cord 5. Please refer to Figure 4 One end of the wire tail fixing piece 9 is clamped to the bottom end of the hole wall of the through hole 61, so that the wire tail fixing piece 9 is fixed, and a certain length of the power cord 5 can be reserved in the rotating clamping piece 6 or the notch 11 to ensure that the power cord 5 rotates with the rotating clamping piece 6 in the notch 11 without affecting the movement and pulling of the power cord 5 in the strip body 1.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the power strip 100 with a rotatable power cord further includes a switch 8 for connecting and disconnecting the electrical connection between the power cord 5 and the socket.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 5 In an alternative embodiment, bosses 63 may be provided on both sides of the rotating clamp 6; limiting grooves 66 for sliding the bosses 63 may be provided on both sides of the inner walls of the notch 11; the bosses 63 slide in the limiting grooves 66 and are limited by the limiting grooves 66 to a maximum sliding angle, so that the power cord 5 changes its rotation angle following the sliding angle of the bosses 63 in the limiting grooves 66. Alternatively, bosses 63 may be provided on both sides of the inner walls of the notch 11; limiting grooves 66 for sliding the bosses 63 may be provided on both sides of the rotating clamp 6. Preferably, the maximum rotation angle limited by the notch 11 is the same as the maximum sliding angle limited by the limiting grooves 66, thereby increasing the stability of the rotation and positioning of the power cord 5. When the notch 11 is a right angle, the limiting groove 66 corresponds to an arc shape of a quarter of a circular ring. When the bosses 63 are provided on both sides of the rotating clamping member 6 , the bosses 63 are provided at one end of the side of the rotating clamping member 6 close to the power cord 5 , so that the bosses 63 can drive the power cord 5 to rotate more balancedly during the sliding process of the limiting sliding groove 66 .

[0032] The above embodiments merely represent preferred implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention, such as combining different features from the various embodiments. These modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
