[0032] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc. are used to describe various types of information, but such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are merely used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, "first" information may also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, "second" information may also be referred to as "first" information without departing from the scope of this utility model.

[0035] The specific drawback of current power sockets, which are overly large, limits their flexibility in diverse spatial environments, directly impacting user experience and satisfaction. As modern living and working spaces become increasingly compact and complex, the demand for smaller and more efficient power sockets is becoming increasingly urgent. Against this backdrop, how to deeply optimize power sockets and reduce their size through the combination of innovative design concepts and advanced manufacturing technologies, while ensuring that their original functionality and performance standards are maintained after the reduction in size, has become a key topic for researchers and engineers in this field.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a power socket 100, which includes a shell 10 and a jack module 20 and a driving module 30 arranged in the shell 10. The shell 10 is provided with a mounting hole 11 along the surface of its thickness. The jack module 20 is partially embedded in the mounting hole 11. The driving module 30 is used to drive the jack module 20 to extend into or out along the mounting hole 11 to adjust the height of the jack module 20 relative to the shell 10.

[0037] In this embodiment, the housing 10 serves as the main structure of the power outlet 100 and is made of insulating material to ensure safe use. The housing 10 is provided with mounting holes 11 along its thickness (i.e., perpendicular to the outlet panel). The shape and size of the mounting holes 11 match those of the jack module 20 and serve to accommodate and guide the movement of the jack module 20.

[0038] The jack module 20 is partially embedded within the mounting hole 11 of the housing 10 and, under the control of the driver module 30, can be extended into or out of the housing 10 along the axial direction of the mounting hole 11. This allows the user to adjust the height of the jack module 20 as needed. The driver module 30 is installed within the housing 10 and connected to the jack module 20. The jack module 20 is the component of the power outlet 100 that directly connects to the external electrical device plug. It contains at least one power jack for inserting the electrical device plug, thereby establishing an electrical connection between the electrical device and the power source.

[0039] The driving module 30 may be an electric motor or other driving mechanism, and the operation of the driving module 30 is controlled to realize the lifting and lowering of the jack module 20 in the mounting hole 11 of the power socket 100 .

[0040] Based on the above technical solution, when the power socket 100 is not in use, the jack module 20 is retracted from the mounting hole 11 into the housing 10 by controlling the driver module 30, thereby flattening the power socket 100. When the power socket 100 is needed, the jack module 20 is extended from the mounting hole 11 out of the housing 10 by controlling the driver module 30 to connect to an external electrical device plug. By designing the jack module 20 within the housing and extending it for use when needed, the power socket 100 of this embodiment can reduce the thickness and volume of the power socket 100, thereby achieving a flat and lightweight power socket 100 for easier portability.

[0041] In this embodiment, a control button or switch may be provided on the housing 10, and the user can adjust the height of the jack module 20 by operating the button or switch control element. For example, the housing 10 may be provided with a clear lifting indicator and a touch switch, and the height of the jack module 20 can be adjusted by simply pressing the touch switch according to the lifting indicator.

[0042] As an implementation method, Figure 4As shown, the power socket 100 includes a rotating seat 40 and a fixed seat 50, and the rotating seat 40 is rotatably arranged in the shell 10; the jack module 20 includes a mounting seat 22 and a jack seat 21 arranged on the mounting seat 22, the jack seat 21 is embedded in the mounting hole 11, the mounting seat 22 is sleeved in the rotating seat 40 and is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 40, and the fixed seat 50 is sleeved on the mounting seat 22 to limit the rotation of the mounting seat 22; wherein, the driving module 30 is transmission-connected to the rotating seat 40, and the driving module 30 is used to drive the rotating seat 40 to rotate, so that the rotating seat 40 drives the mounting seat 22 to carry the jack seat 21 into or out along the mounting hole 11.

[0043] Specifically, the jack socket 21 is a component in the power socket 100 that is directly connected to a plug of an external electrical device, and the mounting base 22 is a component for mounting the jack socket 21 .

[0044] This embodiment controls the driving module 30 to drive the rotating base 40 to rotate. Since the mounting base 22 is rotatably connected to the rotating base 40, and the mounting base 22 is restricted by the fixed base 50 from rotating relative to the rotating base 40, when the rotating base 40 rotates, it will drive the mounting base 22 to be pushed upward along the mounting hole 11, and then the mounting base 22 drives the jack base 21 to extend outward, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the jack base 21 (or the jack module 20).

[0045] As an implementation method, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the inner wall of the rotating seat 40 is provided with a sliding groove 41, which extends along the circumference of the rotating seat 40, and the sliding groove 41 gradually extends from the direction away from the mounting hole 11 to the direction close to the mounting hole 11; the outer wall of the mounting seat 22 is provided with a sliding column 23, which is inserted into the sliding groove 41 and can slide along the sliding groove 41 to rotate the mounting seat 22 and the rotating seat 40.

[0046] Specifically, the sliding groove 41 of the rotating seat 40 is similar to the structure of the internal thread of the bottle cap, gradually bending and extending from bottom to top. The rotating seat 40 is rotated by the driving module 30 so that the sliding column 23 of the mounting seat 22 slides in the sliding groove 41 of the rotating seat 40. Since the sliding groove 41 gradually extends upward, the sliding groove 41 can guide the sliding column 23 to slide along its path during the rotation process, so that the mounting seat 22 is gradually pushed upward, thereby adjusting the height of the jack seat 21 (or jack module 20).

[0047] During use, when the driving module 30 drives the rotating base 40 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, the sliding post 23 slides along its path and rises or falls in the sliding slot 41. This sliding and rising / falling movement will drive the mounting base 22 and the jack seat 21 to move together, thereby achieving the height adjustment of the jack module 20.

[0048] As an implementation method, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the inner wall of the rotating seat 40 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves 41 , and the outer wall of the mounting seat 22 is provided with a plurality of sliding posts 23 , each sliding post 23 being inserted into each sliding groove 41 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0049] Specifically, during the assembly of the rotating base 40 and the mounting base 22, each sliding post 23 is inserted into each sliding slot 41 in a one-to-one correspondence. This embodiment, through precise alignment and assembly, ensures a tight connection and reliable sliding fit between the mounting base 22 and the rotating base 40. When the drive module 30 rotates the rotating base 40, each sliding post 23 slides along a predetermined path within its corresponding sliding slot 41, thereby causing the mounting base 22 and the jack base 21 to rise or fall as a whole, achieving height adjustment of the jack module 20.

[0050] In the embodiment, the corresponding relationship design of the multiple sliding slots 41 and the multiple sliding posts 23 not only improves the stability of the height adjustment of the jack module 20 , but also enhances the structural strength and durability of the entire power socket 100 .

[0051] As an embodiment, a plurality of sliding grooves 41 are arranged in an array along the circumference of the rotating seat 40 .

[0052] Specifically, multiple sliding grooves 41 are arranged in a circumferential array, so that the multiple sliding columns 23 on the mounting seat 22 can be evenly distributed on the inner wall of the rotating seat 40. During the height adjustment process, the force or torque applied to the jack module 20 can be evenly distributed to each sliding groove 41 and sliding column 23, thereby improving the structural stability of the power socket 100.

[0053] For example, the inner wall of the rotating seat 40 is provided with four sliding grooves 41 , and the outer wall of the mounting seat 22 is provided with four sliding columns 23 , and the angle between two adjacent sliding columns 23 is set at a right angle.

[0054] As an implementation method, Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the shell 10 is provided with a first socket 12 for connecting to an external power source; a first conductive connector 60 and a second conductive connector 70 facing the first conductive connector 60 are provided in the shell 10, the first conductive connector 60 is electrically connected to the first socket 12, and the second conductive connector 70 is electrically connected to the socket seat 21; when the mounting seat 22 drives the socket seat 21 to extend along the mounting hole 11 to a preset distance, the first conductive connector 60 and the second conductive connector 70 abut against each other, so that the socket seat 21 is electrically connected to the external power source.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first socket 12 is connected to the external power supply through a wire. At this time, the first conductive connector 60 is energized. When the jack socket 21 is in the housing 10, the first conductive connector 60 is not connected to the second conductive connector 70. At this time, the jack socket 21 is not energized; when the jack socket 21 is driven to extend outward along the mounting hole 11 until the first conductive connector 60 abuts against the second conductive connector 70 to achieve connectivity between the two connectors, the power supply will be conducted to the jack socket 21. The jack socket 21 is energized and can be connected to an external electrical device plug to provide electrical energy for the electrical device.

[0056] Specifically, the first conductive connection member 60 and the second conductive connection member 70 are conductive copper sheet structures.

[0057] As an implementation method, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the power socket 100 further includes a power module 80 , which is spaced apart from the driving module 30 and disposed in the housing 10 . The power module 80 is electrically connected to the first conductive connector 60 for supplying power to the driving module 30 .

[0058] Specifically, the power module 80 is electrically connected to the first conductive connector 60 via a wire within the housing 10. Only when the first socket 12 is connected to an external power source via a wire does the power module 80 become energized via the first conductive connector 60, allowing the driver module 30 to be used. In other words, the height of the jack module 20 cannot be adjusted via the driver module 30 until the first socket 12 is connected to an external power source. Only after the first socket 12 is connected to an external power source does the power module 80 become energized and provide power to the driver module 30.

[0059] As an implementation method, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the housing 10 is further provided with a second plug interface 13 for connecting to a load, and the second plug interface 13 is electrically connected to the power module 80 .

[0060] Specifically, the second socket interface 13 and the first socket interface 12 are respectively arranged on two opposite side walls of the shell 10. The difference is that the first socket interface 12 is used to connect the external power supply to the power socket 100, while the second socket interface 13 is used to power electronic products such as mobile phones. That is, this product can power electrical equipment such as fans and rice cookers through the socket seat 21, and can also provide a charging port for electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets through the second socket interface 13. The power socket 100 of this embodiment is a multi-functional charging socket.

[0061] As an implementation method, Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the driving module 30 includes a motor 31 and a worm 32 . The outer wall of the rotating base 40 is provided with a gear portion 42 . The worm 32 is engaged with the gear portion 42 . The motor 31 is used to drive the worm 32 to drive the rotating base 40 to rotate.

[0062] Specifically, the drive module 30 can be driven by a gear, with the motor 31 driving the gear, so that the gear drives the rotating base 40 to rotate. However, since the gear is too large, it is not convenient to install it inside the housing 10. Based on this, this embodiment adopts a worm drive, with the worm 32 driving the gear portion 42 to drive the rotating base 40 to rotate. The smaller size achieves a larger transmission ratio and torque, making the entire drive module 30 compact and further reducing the volume of the housing 10.

[0063] As an implementation method, Figure 4 As shown, the housing 10 includes a first shell 14 and a second shell 15 , the jack module 20 and the driving module 30 are disposed in the second shell 15 , the mounting hole 11 is disposed in the first shell 14 , and the first shell 14 covers the second shell 15 .

[0064] Specifically, the interior of the second housing 15 accommodates the jack module 20 and the driver module 30. The design of the second housing 15 requires careful consideration of the layout of the internal space to ensure that the jack module 20 and the driver module 30 can be tightly and orderly installed. After the internal components (the jack module 20 and the driver module 30) are installed, the first housing 14 is placed over the second housing 15. The first and second housings 14, 15 can be connected using snaps, screws, or other fastening methods to ensure the tightness and stability of the housing 10.
