Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, specifically a socket with an auxiliary plug ejection function designed to solve the problem of difficulty in pulling out a power plug. Background Technology
[0002] In existing socket technology, to ensure safe use and prevent loose plugs or poor contact, manufacturers securely fasten the power contact springs to the plug. However, when unplugging power cords, it's common to encounter situations where the plug is difficult to remove. Whether it's a fixed wall socket or a power strip, unplugging requires pressing down on the power strip with one hand and pulling the plug with the other. When unplugging with one hand, there's a risk of electric shock if fingers touch the metal contacts of the plug. Fixed wall sockets can also loosen due to repeated pulling. This not only inconveniences users but can also damage the socket and plug, potentially creating safety hazards. Furthermore, for the elderly, those with insufficient hand strength, or those with disabilities, plugging and unplugging is even more difficult. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a socket with an auxiliary pop-out plug function in view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art. By adding an auxiliary pop-out plug device, the plug can be pulled out more conveniently, easily and safely, while reducing damage to the socket and plug.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: to provide a socket with an auxiliary pop-out plug function, including a socket body, a sliding panel, a fixing block, a connecting rod and several springs. The socket body includes a socket bottom shell and a power contact spring. The socket bottom shell is provided with vertical slots around its perimeter.
[0005] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: the sliding panel is a cover with one flat surface and four vertical surfaces integrated together, the flat surface is provided with a socket for a matching plug, and the four vertical surfaces of the sliding panel are slidably connected in the vertical slots around the bottom shell of the socket.
[0006] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: the side of the fixing block is provided with a slot guide rail, the fixing block is mirror-symmetrically fixed on both sides of the inside of the socket bottom shell, and the bottom of the fixing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the socket bottom shell by bolts.
[0007] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: one end of the connecting rod is hinged and fixed to the lower surface of the sliding panel, and the other end of the connecting rod is provided with a locking hook. The end of the locking hook is snapped into the guide rail of the fixing block, and the locking hook is slidably connected to the guide rail of the guide rail.
[0008] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: a plurality of hollow columns are integrally and uniformly fixed in a straight line on the upper surface of the fixed block, and a plurality of hollow columns are integrally and uniformly fixed in a straight line on the lower surface of the slidable panel. The hollow columns are in one-to-one correspondence, and the spring can be placed inside the hollow columns of the fixed block and the slidable panel. The length of the hollow column is 1 / 3 of the length of the spring after it is fully compressed.
[0009] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: one end of the spring is placed inside the cavity column of the fixed block and welded to the upper surface of the fixed block, and the other end of the spring is placed inside the cavity column of the sliding panel and welded to the lower surface of the sliding panel.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By symmetrically bolting two fixing blocks with slotted tracks, several springs, and connecting rods within the socket body, after inserting the plug and pressing it down, the springs compress, the connecting rods slide downwards along the slotted guide rail, and the locking hook locks at the guide rail locking position. The plug contacts the power contact spring and locks in place. When it is necessary to unplug the plug, there is no need to press the power strip with one hand and pull the plug with the other. Simply press the plug once with one hand, and the locking hook will move downwards along the slotted guide rail. After releasing the hand, the compressed spring releases its elasticity, and the locking hook continues to move upwards along the slotted guide rail until it reaches the guide rail unlocking position and stops. The plug is ejected upwards, automatically disengaging from the power contact spring, and the plug can be easily removed. The operation is simple and has great convenience and safety.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] As shown in Figures 1-11, a socket with an auxiliary pop-out plug function according to this embodiment includes a socket body 1, a sliding panel 2, a fixing block 3, a connecting rod 4, and several springs 5. The socket body 1 includes a socket bottom shell 11 and power contact springs 12. The socket bottom shell 11 has vertical slots around its perimeter. The sliding panel 2 is a cover with one flat surface and four vertical surfaces integrated together. The flat surface has a socket hole 21 for matching the plug. The four vertical surfaces of the sliding panel 2 are slidably connected within the vertical slots around the socket bottom shell 11. The fixing block 3 has a slot guide rail 31 on its side. The lower center of the slot guide rail 31 is the guide rail locking position 311. Directly below the guide rail locking position 311 is a left sliding track 3111. The upper center of the slot guide rail 31 is the guide rail unlocking position 312. Directly below the guide rail unlocking position 312 is a right sliding track 3121. The guide rail locking position 311 and the guide rail unlocking position 312 are on the same vertical line. The fixing block 3 is mirror-symmetrically fixed on both sides of the inside of the socket bottom shell 11, and the bottom of the fixing block 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the socket bottom shell 11 by bolts. One end of the connecting rod 4 is hinged and fixed to the lower surface of the sliding panel 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 4 is provided with a locking hook 41. The end of the locking hook 41 is snapped into the slot guide rail 31 of the fixing block 3, and the locking hook 41 is slidably connected to the slot guide rail 31. Several hollow columns 32 are integrally and uniformly fixed in a straight line on the upper surface of the fixing block 3, and several hollow columns 32 are integrally and uniformly fixed in a straight line on the lower surface of the sliding panel 2. The hollow columns 32 correspond one-to-one. The spring 5 can be placed in the hollow columns 32 of the fixing block 3 and the sliding panel 2. The length of the hollow column 32 is 1 / 3 of the length of the spring 5 after full compression. One end of the spring 5 is placed in the hollow column 32 of the fixing block 3 and welded and fixed to the upper surface of the fixing block 3, and the other end of the spring 5 is placed in the hollow column 32 of the sliding panel 2 and welded and fixed to the lower surface of the sliding panel 2.
[0025] Specifically, when not in use, the spring 5 is initially in a compressed state, and the locking hook 41 is in the guide rail unlock position 312. When the external plug is inserted into the socket 21 and pressed, the sliding panel 2 presses the spring 5 downward. The locking hook 41 of the connecting rod 4 slides downward from the guide rail unlock position 312 and selects to move to the right (the right sliding track 3121 is directly below the guide rail unlock position 312) clockwise to the lowest point on the right side of the slot guide rail 31. After releasing, the spring 5 rebounds, and the locking hook 41 of the connecting rod 4 continues to move clockwise in the slot guide rail 31 and finally locks in the guide rail locking position 311. The plug contacts the power contact spring 12, clamps and powers on.
[0026] Specifically, when it is necessary to unplug the plug, simply press the plug, the sliding panel 2 will press down on the spring 5, the locking hook 41 of the connecting rod 4 will slide downwards and to the left (the left sliding track 3111 is directly below the guide rail locking position 311) clockwise to the lowest point on the left side of the slot guide rail 31. After releasing, the spring 5 will rebound, the sliding panel 2 will be bounced upwards, driving the connecting rod 4 to move upwards. The locking hook 41 of the connecting rod 4 will continue to move clockwise upwards along the slot guide rail 31. The spring 5 will release part of its length, but will still be in a compressed state. The locking hook 41 of the connecting rod 4 will be locked in the guide rail unlock position 312. At the same time, the plug and the sliding panel 2 will be lifted up by the spring 5, the plug will be disconnected from the power contact spring 12, and the plug can be removed effortlessly.
[0027] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Those skilled in the art can modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and all such modifications and substitutions should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
