Detailed Implementation
[0025] The overall concept of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0026] Please see Figure 1-3 A stable platform 300 external socket 100, comprising:
[0027] An external socket 100 having a first plug end 110;
[0028] Platform 300, which is connected to the external socket 100;
[0029] A detachable connector 200, one end of which has a second plug end 210 for plugging into a wall socket, and the other end of which has a detachable connection end that mates with the external socket 100.
[0030] Understandably, this external socket 100 system consists of three main parts: the external socket 100, the platform 300, and the detachable connector 200. The external socket 100 has a first plug end 110 for connecting to a power source. The platform 300 connects to the external socket 100, providing space for placing items. The detachable connector 200 has a second plug end 210 at one end for inserting into a wall socket, and the other end is detachably connected to the external socket 100, allowing the entire system to be easily connected to or removed from a wall socket. The detachable connector 200 is not connected to the internal circuitry; it is only for providing additional stability.
[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, 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.
[0032] See Figure 2 The first plug end 110 is one of a two-hole plug, a three-hole plug, a five-hole plug, an angled five-hole plug, a USB head, and a TYPC head. The first plug end 110 is electrically connected to the internal circuit of the external socket 100 and is used to supply power to the external socket 100.
[0033] See Figure 2 The second plug end 210 is one of a two-hole plug, a three-hole plug, a five-hole plug, an angled five-hole plug, a USB head, and a TYPC head. The second plug end 210 is isolated from the internal circuit of the external socket 100 or the second plug end 210 is made of insulating material.
[0034] See Figure 2 The detachable connection end is one of the magnetic attraction mechanism, snap-fit mechanism, tenon and mortise mechanism and plug-in mechanism provided on the detachable connector 200 and the external socket 100.
[0035] Optional features, such as a magnetic attraction mechanism, involve installing magnets at corresponding positions on the detachable connector 200 and the external socket 100. The polarity design of the magnets must ensure a secure connection. Strong neodymium iron boron magnets can be used to guarantee a stable and convenient connection.
[0036] For example, the mortise and tenon mechanism utilizes the principle of traditional mortise and tenon structure to fix the detachable connector 200 and the external socket 100 at the corresponding positions using mortise and tenon structure.
[0037] For example, a plug-in mechanism is designed between the detachable connector 200 and the external socket 100, similar to the connection method of a common plug and socket. The connector can be designed to be flexible so that it can easily enter the socket when inserted, while providing sufficient friction to maintain stability after connection;
[0038] For example, a snap-fit mechanism is designed on the contact surfaces of the detachable connector 200 and the external socket 100. The snap-fit can be a simple protrusion and groove design, or a more complex locking mechanism, to ensure a secure connection and easy disassembly by simply pressing or pulling a specific part.
[0039] See Figure 3The detachable connection end includes:
[0040] A horizontal one-way insertion structure 220 is provided at the second plug end 210. The horizontal one-way insertion structure 220 is used to allow the second plug end 210 to be inserted into the external socket 100 in one direction while restricting it from being pulled out horizontally in the opposite direction from its original insertion position.
[0041] A vertical sliding structure 120 is provided in the external socket 100, which is used to disengage the second plug end 210 from the external socket 100 when it slides vertically to the sliding position.
[0042] See Figure 3 The horizontal unidirectional insertion structure 220 consists of multiple rows of triangular protrusions, with one side facing the external socket 100 having an acute angle and the other side having a right angle or an obtuse angle.
[0043] See Figure 3 The vertical sliding structure 120 is provided with a triangular recess corresponding to the triangular protrusion, wherein the triangular recess forms a vertical sliding channel, and one end of the sliding channel is provided with a sliding outlet 130.
[0044] See Figure 3 The platform 300 is located at the top of the external socket 100. The platform 300 is provided with a cable passage 310, which is used to shorten the wiring distance from the expansion hole 140 to the top of the platform 300.
[0045] See Figure 3 The first plug end 110 is a three-hole plug, and the second plug end 210 is a two-hole plug.
[0046] See Figure 3 The external socket 100 has at least one side provided with an expansion hole 140, which is one of a two-hole plug, a three-hole plug, a five-hole plug, an angled five-hole plug, a USB connector, and a Type-C connector.
