Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more particularly to a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] Modern refrigerators are all equipped with a fixed power cord for supplying power. To make it convenient for users to connect the power supply, the power cord is usually exposed for a certain length outside the back panel of the refrigerator.

[0003] During refrigerator use, the power cord may become tangled together due to the user's daily activities, making it difficult to separate and causing inconvenience. Furthermore, when the user moves the refrigerator, the scattered power cord is easily crushed, which is detrimental to the lifespan of the power cord.

[0004] Therefore, the problem of refrigerator power cords being difficult to store, causing inconvenience to users, urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a refrigerator that solves the technical problem of the refrigerator power cord being difficult to store.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a refrigerator, comprising:

[0007] Box;

[0008] The power module is housed inside the enclosure;

[0009] Power cord storage device, including:

[0010] A storage box base is disposed on the box body. The storage box base is provided with a receiving cavity and a first opening, which communicates with the receiving cavity.

[0011] A cover body is movably disposed on the base of the storage box, and the cover body is provided with a second opening; the second opening is disposed opposite to the first opening and communicates with the receiving cavity.

[0012] A power cord is electrically connected to the power module. The power cord passes through the first opening and the second opening. The inner walls of the first opening and the second opening are used to clamp and fix the power cord.

[0013] A winding element is disposed within the receiving cavity; the winding element is fixed to the power line, and the winding element can drive the power line to be wound around the winding element.

[0014] The refrigerator of this embodiment can store the power cord inside the receiving cavity via a winding component, avoiding the problem of the power cord scattering and tangling outside, and facilitating power cord storage. Using the power cord storage device, the power cord can be stably stored, preventing it from falling out. When not in use, the power cord can be completely stored, reducing the risk of being crushed or tangled, increasing the power cord's lifespan, and avoiding the safety hazards of exposed power cords. The clamping design of the first and second openings prevents the power cord from falling out during use, ensuring connection stability and the stable operation of the refrigerator. Users can easily pull out or retract the power cord as needed, simplifying operation and avoiding the hassle of manual storage.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the storage box base includes:

[0016] The base plate is disposed on the box body;

[0017] A first sidewall is disposed at the edge of the bottom plate and extends in a direction away from the box body; the first sidewall and the bottom plate together form the receiving cavity, and the first sidewall forms the first opening;

[0018] The cover includes:

[0019] A cover plate is disposed opposite to the base plate;

[0020] A second sidewall is disposed at the edge of the cover plate and extends in a direction close to the box body. The second sidewall is opposite to the first sidewall and forms the second opening.

[0021] The design of the base plate and the first side wall forms a closed cavity, ensuring that the power cord can be safely stored when not in use, avoiding the risk of damage caused by exposure. The design of the first and second openings allows the power cord to easily enter and exit the cavity, and users can adjust the length of the power cord as needed for easy connection to a power socket. The orderly storage of the power cord in the cavity avoids wear caused by tangling and external force, extending the service life of the power cord.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the cover is movable in a direction close to or away from the base plate, and the second sidewall is in sliding contact with the first sidewall;

[0023] The first opening is located near the inner wall of the cover plate and abuts against the power cord, and the second opening is located near the inner wall of the base plate and abuts against the power cord.

[0024] The design of the inner walls of the first and second openings abutting against the power cord ensures that the power cord remains stable during use and storage, preventing it from sliding back into the receiving cavity and improving reliability. The sliding design of the cover on the base of the storage box not only ensures the stability of the mechanism's operation but also allows users to easily store or release the power cord. The operation is simple and requires no additional tools.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the first sidewall is located inside the second sidewall; or, the first sidewall is located outside the second sidewall.

[0026] By fitting the lid onto the base of the storage box, the power cord is better protected within the housing, reducing the risk of damage from external impacts or vibrations. Alternatively, the base of the storage box fits over the lid, making the entire power cord storage box structure more stable and providing better support when the lid moves, preventing deformation or damage.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, the first sidewall is provided with a first guide member, the first end of the first guide member faces the bottom plate, the second end of the first guide member is away from the bottom plate, and the first guide member is in sliding contact with the second sidewall;

[0028] And / or, the second sidewall is provided with a second guide member, the first end of the second guide member facing the cover plate, the second end of the second guide member away from the cover plate, and the second guide member slidingly contacting the first sidewall.

[0029] By setting up the first and second guide members, a stable sliding path is provided, ensuring that the cover moves smoothly and steadily on the base of the storage box, reducing wear caused by friction. Through the sliding contact of the first and second guide members, the structure of the entire power cord storage box is more stable, reducing the risk of deformation or damage caused by external forces. Users can easily move the cover to store or release the power cord, making the operation more convenient.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the power cord storage device includes an elastic element;

[0031] The first end of the elastic element is connected to the base plate, and the second end of the elastic element is connected to the cover plate. The elastic element can apply a force to the cover plate away from the base plate.

[0032] Using elastic elements, when the user pulls out or retracts the power cord, the cover tends to stay away from the base of the storage box, so that the first and second openings automatically clamp the power cord, eliminating the need to manually fix the power cord and simplifying the operation process. During use, the force of the elastic elements can prevent the power cord from retracting into the receiving cavity and prevent the plug from being pulled off the power socket by the winding parts, ensuring the refrigerator operates smoothly.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the storage box base is provided with a first fixing part, which is detachably connected to the storage box base; the first fixing part and the storage box base together form the first opening;

[0034] And / or, the cover is provided with a second fixing part, the second fixing part being detachably connected to the cover; the second fixing part and the cover together form the second opening.

[0035] The detachable first and second fixing parts make the power cord storage box easy to maintain and extend its service life.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the winding element includes:

[0037] A fixing component is provided on the base of the storage box, and the fixing component is connected to the first end of the power cord;

[0038] A spring is disposed on the fixing member, the spring is connected to the fixing member, the spring surrounds the outside of the fixing member, and the spring contacts the power line.

[0039] The tension provided by the spring clip allows the power cord to automatically wind up when stored, reducing the hassle of manually organizing the power cord and improving the convenience of the device. The fastener ensures a secure connection at the first end of the power cord, preventing loosening or detachment during use. The spring clip design provides tension while also protecting the power cord, reducing wear and damage caused by excessive pulling. Users can easily pull out or retract the power cord, as the tension of the spring clip helps the power cord wind up automatically. The operation is simple and requires no additional tools.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the spring sheet forms multiple layers of elastic portions, and the multiple layers of elastic portions surround the outside of the fixing member layer by layer;

[0041] When the power cord extends out of the receiving cavity through the first opening and the second opening, the distance between two adjacent elastic layers in the multi-layer elastic portion increases;

[0042] When the power line enters the receiving cavity through the first opening and the second opening, the distance between two adjacent elastic layers in the multi-layer elastic part decreases.

[0043] The multi-layered elastic section provides an automatic winding function when the power cord is retracted, reducing the hassle of manually organizing the power cord and improving the convenience of using the refrigerator; the multi-layered elastic section provides moderate resistance to help control the speed at which the power cord is pulled out, preventing damage caused by pulling the power cord out too quickly; while providing tension, the multi-layered elastic section also protects the power cord, reducing wear and damage caused by excessive pulling.

[0044] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a refrigerator, comprising:

[0045] Box;

[0046] The power module is housed inside the enclosure;

[0047] Power cord storage device, including:

[0048] A storage box base is disposed on the box body. The storage box base is provided with a receiving cavity and a first opening, which communicates with the receiving cavity.

[0049] A cover body is movably disposed on the base of the storage box, and the cover body is provided with a second opening; the second opening is disposed opposite to the first opening and communicates with the receiving cavity.

[0050] A power cord is electrically connected to the power module. The power cord passes through the first opening and the second opening. The first end of the power cord is located inside the receiving cavity, and the second end of the power cord is located outside the receiving cavity.

[0051] A winding component is disposed within the receiving cavity; the winding component is fixed to the power line, and the winding component can drive the power line to be wound around the winding component;

[0052] When the power cord storage device is in the first state, the cover is in a first position relative to the storage box base, and the power cord can enter or exit the receiving cavity through the first opening and the second opening.

[0053] When the power cord storage device is in the second state, the cover is in a second position relative to the storage box base, and the power cord is fixed to the winding member through the cover and the storage box base. Attached Figure Description

[0090] As described in the background section, in existing technologies, refrigerator power cords are secured to the refrigerator back panel using tape or clips by repeatedly bending them. The power cord plug is then inserted into the compressor cover. This method of storage is unreliable and the cord is prone to falling off. If the power cord falls off during refrigerator relocation, it may be damaged. During use, the loose power cord may become tangled due to bumping or poking during daily activities such as cleaning. Untangling the cord is time-consuming, laborious, and poses a safety hazard. The inconvenience of storing the power cord creates a poor user experience.

[0091] In view of this, the refrigerator of this application embodiment can store the power cord inside the receiving cavity through the winding component, avoiding the problem of the power cord scattering and tangling outside, and facilitating the storage of the power cord; by using the power cord storage device, the power cord can be stably stored and prevented from falling; the power cord can be completely stored when not in use, reducing the risk of being crushed or knotted, improving the service life of the power cord, and avoiding the safety hazards of exposed power cord; through the clamping design of the first opening and the second opening, the power cord is not easy to fall off during use, ensuring the stability of the connection and ensuring the stable operation of the refrigerator; users can easily pull out or retract the power cord as needed, the operation is simple, and avoids the trouble of manual storage by the user.

[0099] Reference Figures 1-4 This application provides a refrigerator.

[0100] Includes box 01.

[0101] It also includes a power module 02, which can be installed inside the enclosure 01.

[0102] The power cord storage device 100 includes a storage box base 110, which can be disposed on the housing 01. The storage box base 110 can be provided with a receiving cavity 111 and a first opening 112, which can communicate with the receiving cavity 111.

[0103] The power cord storage device 100 also includes a cover 120, which is movably disposed on the storage box base 110. The cover 120 may be provided with a second opening 121. The second opening 121 is disposed opposite to the first opening 112 and may communicate with the receiving cavity 111.

[0104] The power cord storage device 100 also includes a power cord 130, which can be electrically connected to the power module 02. The power cord 130 can pass through the first opening 112 and the second opening 121. The inner walls of the first opening 112 and the second opening 121 can be used to clamp and fix the power cord 130. The first end of the power cord 130 can be disposed in the receiving cavity 111, and the second end of the power cord 130 can be located outside the receiving cavity 111.

[0105] The power cord storage device 100 also includes a winding member 140, which can be disposed within the receiving cavity 111.

[0106] The winding member 140 can be fixed to the power cord 130, and the winding member 140 can drive the power cord 130 to be wound around the winding member 140.

[0107] It is understood that the winding member 140 can drive the power cord 130 to wind up, so that when the power cord 130 is not needed, it can be stored in the power cord storage device 100, and the power cord 130 is prevented from being disorderly tangled in the receiving cavity 111. The winding member 140 also allows the user to pull out the required length of the power cord 130 from between the first opening 112 and the second opening 121 as needed, preventing excess power cord 130 from being placed outside the box 01. At the same time, the power cord 130 is clamped and fixed by the inner walls of the first opening 112 and the second opening 121, so that the length of the power cord 130 pulled out is fixed and will not be retracted by the winding member 140, thereby preventing the plug of the power cord 130 from being removed from the power socket.

[0108] The power cord 130 can be stored in the receiving cavity 111 by the winding component 140, avoiding the problem of the power cord 130 being scattered and tangled on the outside; by using the power cord storage device 100, the power cord 130 can be stably stored to prevent it from falling; the power cord 130 can be completely stored when not in use, reducing the risk of being crushed or knotted, improving the service life of the power cord, and avoiding the safety hazards of exposed power cords; through the clamping design of the first opening 112 and the second opening 121, the power cord 130 is not easy to fall off during use, ensuring the stability of the connection and the stable operation of the refrigerator; users can easily pull out or retract the power cord 130 as needed, which is simple to operate and avoids the trouble of manual storage.

[0109] In some possible implementations, the storage box base 110 includes a base plate 113, which may be disposed on the box body 01.

[0110] The storage box base 110 also includes a first side wall 114, which can be disposed on the edge of the base plate 113 and extends in a direction away from the box body 01.

[0111] The first sidewall 114 can together with the base plate 113 form a receiving cavity 111, and the first sidewall 114 can form a first opening 112.

[0112] The cover 120 includes a cover plate 122, which can be disposed opposite to the base plate 113.

[0113] The cover 120 also includes a second sidewall 123, which can be disposed on the edge of the cover plate 122 and extend in the direction close to the box 01. The second sidewall 123 is opposite to the first sidewall 114 and can form a second opening 121.

[0114] It can be seen that the base plate 113 is the basic part of the storage box base, used to fix the power cord storage device 100 to the refrigerator body 01; the first side wall 114 and the base plate 113 together form a receiving cavity 111 for receiving the power cord 130; the first opening 112 on the first side wall 114 serves as a channel for the power cord 130 to enter and exit the interior and exterior of the power cord storage device 100; the cover plate 122 is arranged opposite to the base plate 113 for closing the receiving cavity 111; the second opening 121 on the second side wall 123 serves as a channel for the power cord 130 to enter and exit the interior and exterior of the power cord storage device 100; the second opening 121 is arranged opposite to the first opening 112, and the power cord 130 passes through both the first opening 112 and the second opening 121 to enter and exit the power cord storage device 100.

[0115] The design of the base plate 113 and the first side wall 114 forms a closed receiving cavity 111, ensuring that the power cord 130 can be safely stored when not in use, avoiding the risk of damage caused by exposure. The design of the first opening 112 and the second opening 121 allows the power cord 130 to easily enter and exit the receiving cavity 111. Users can adjust the length of the power cord 130 as needed for easy connection to a power socket. The orderly storage of the power cord 130 within the receiving cavity 111 avoids wear caused by tangling and external force, extending the service life of the power cord.

[0116] In some possible implementations, the cover 120 can move in a direction toward or away from the base plate 113, and the second sidewall 123 can slide in contact with the first sidewall 114.

[0117] The first opening 112 near the inner wall of the cover plate 122 can abut against the power cord 130, and the second opening 121 near the inner wall of the base plate 113 can abut against the power cord 130.

[0118] It is known that the design of the relative movement between the cover 120 and the base plate 113 allows the cover 120 to release the power cord 130 when needed; the design of the sliding contact between the second side wall 123 and the first side wall 114 allows the cover 120 to move smoothly on the storage box base 110; when the first opening 112 approaches the inner wall of the cover plate 122 and abuts against the power cord 130, and at the same time the second opening 121 approaches the inner wall of the base plate 113 and abuts against the power cord 130, the power cord 130 is clamped by the first opening 112 and the second opening 121, fixing the length of the power cord 130 extending out of the receiving cavity 111.

[0119] With the contact design between the inner walls of the first opening 112 and the second opening 121 and the power cord 130, the power cord 130 can remain stable during use and storage, and is not easy to slide back into the receiving cavity 111, thus improving the reliability of use; the sliding design of the cover 120 on the base 110 of the storage box not only ensures the stability of the mechanism operation, but also allows the user to easily store or release the power cord 130, which is simple to operate and does not require additional tools.

[0120] In some possible implementations, the first sidewall 114 is located inside the second sidewall 123.

[0121] It is known that the first sidewall 114 is located inside the second sidewall 123, which means that the first sidewall 114 is inside the cover 120, and the cover 120 is fitted onto the storage box base 110.

[0122] The power cord 130 is better protected within the housing 111, reducing the risk of damage from external impacts or vibrations.

[0123] Alternatively, the first sidewall 114 is located outside the second sidewall 123.

[0124] It is known that the first sidewall 114 is located outside the second sidewall 123, which means that the storage box base 110 is fitted onto the cover 120.

[0125] This design makes the entire power cord storage box 100 more stable and provides better support when the cover 120 moves, preventing deformation or damage.

[0126] It should be noted that different sidewall positions can optimize the space utilization of the receiving cavity 111, making power cord storage more efficient and reducing space waste. The relationship between the first sidewall 114 and the second sidewall 123 can be arranged according to usage requirements.

[0127] In some possible implementations, the first sidewall 114 is provided with a first guide 210, the first end of the first guide 210 can face the bottom plate 113, the second end of the first guide 210 can be away from the bottom plate 113, and the first guide 210 can slide in contact with the second sidewall 123.

[0128] And / or, the second sidewall 123 is provided with a second guide 220, the first end of the second guide 220 can face the cover plate 122, the second end of the second guide 220 can move away from the cover plate 122, and the second guide 220 can slide in contact with the first sidewall 114.

[0129] It is known that the first guide member 210 slides in contact with the second side wall 123, providing a smooth sliding path, making the cover 120 move more smoothly when it moves on the storage box base 110; the second guide member 220 slides in contact with the first side wall 114, further enhancing the sliding stability of the cover 120.

[0130] By setting the first guide 210 and the second guide 220, a stable sliding path is provided to ensure that the cover 120 moves smoothly and steadily on the storage box base 110, reducing wear caused by friction. Through the sliding contact of the first guide 210 and the second guide 220, the structure of the entire power cord 130 storage box 100 is more stable, reducing the risk of deformation or damage caused by external forces. Users can easily move the cover 120 to store or release the power cord 130, making the operation more convenient.

[0131] refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first guide 210 may be a groove fixed to the first sidewall 114. The opening of the groove faces the second sidewall 123. The edge of the second sidewall 123 may be embedded in the groove, providing a stable sliding path to ensure smooth movement of the cover 120.

[0132] refer to Figure 4 The second guide 220 can be designed as a slider, with its first end fixed to the second sidewall 123 and its second end facing the first sidewall 114. The slider slides on the first sidewall 114, providing smooth sliding contact and enhancing the sliding stability of the cover 120.

[0133] In some embodiments, the second guide member 220 may be a guide rail fixed to the second sidewall 123, and the direction of the guide rail is consistent with the sliding direction of the cover 120. The first sidewall 114 can slide on the guide rail to ensure that the cover 120 does not deviate from the track during movement, thereby reducing friction and wear.

[0134] In some embodiments, the first guide 210 and the second guide 220 can be designed as a small roller, with its first end connected to the base plate 113 or the cover plate 122 via a bearing, and its second end facing the cover 120 or the storage box base 110. The roller can roll on the second side wall 123 or the first side wall 114, reducing friction and making the cover 120 move more smoothly.

[0135] It should be noted that as long as the first guide member 210 and the second guide member 220 can achieve the function of the cover 120 sliding stably on the storage box base 110, the embodiments of this application do not impose too many restrictions on the results of the first guide member 210 and the second guide member 220.

[0136] In some possible implementations, the power cord storage device 100 may include an elastic element 150.

[0137] The first end of the elastic element 150 can be connected to the base plate 113, and the second end of the elastic element 150 can be connected to the cover plate 122. The elastic element 150 can apply a force to the cover plate 122 away from the base plate 113.

[0138] It is known that the elastic element 150 can apply a force away from the bottom plate 113 to the cover plate 122, which means that when there is no external force, the elastic element 150 will push the cover plate 122 to move upward or outward, so that the first opening 112 near the inner wall of the cover plate 122 abuts against the power cord 130, and the second opening 121 near the inner wall of the bottom plate 113 abuts against the power cord 130. Thus, when the power cord storage box 100 is not subjected to external force, the first opening 112 and the second opening 121 clamp the power cord 130, so that the length of the power cord 130 is fixed.

[0139] Using the elastic element 150, when the user pulls out or retracts the power cord 130, the cover 120 tends to stay away from the storage box base 110, so that the first opening 112 and the second opening 121 automatically clamp the power cord, eliminating the need to manually fix the power cord 130 and simplifying the operation process; during use, the force of the elastic element 150 can prevent the power cord 130 from retracting into the receiving cavity 111 and prevent the plug from being pulled off the power socket by the winding element 140, ensuring the refrigerator operates smoothly.

[0140] In some embodiments, the first end of the elastic member 150 is fixedly connected to the base plate 113, and the second end of the elastic member 150 is detachably connected to the cover plate 122.

[0141] refer to Figures 3-6 Furthermore, the elastic element 150 is detachably connected to the cover plate 122 via a mounting screw 400. The mounting screw 400 passes through the receiving cavity 111 from the side of the cover plate 122 away from the base plate 113, and the thread of the mounting screw 400 is threadedly connected to the second end of the elastic element 150. By using the mounting screw 400, the second end of the elastic element 150 can be fixed to the cover plate 122, while also allowing for easy disassembly when the cover 120 needs to be opened.

[0142] In some possible implementations, the storage box base 110 may be provided with a first fixing part 115, which may be detachably connected to the storage box base 110.

[0143] The first fixing part 115 can together with the storage box base 110 to form the first opening 112.

[0144] And / or, the cover 120 may be provided with a second fixing part 124, which may be detachably connected to the cover 120.

[0145] The second fixing part 124 can together with the cover 120 to form the second opening 121.

[0146] It is known that the first fixing part 115 and the storage box base 110 together form the first opening 112 for the power cord to enter and exit. The first fixing part 115 can be installed or removed as needed. The second fixing part 124 and the cover 120 together form the second opening 121, which is opposite to the first opening. The second fixing part 124 can also be installed or removed as needed.

[0147] Since the plug of the power cord 130 is usually wider than the first opening 112 and the second opening 121, in order to facilitate the assembly of the power cord 130 into the power cord storage box 100, the first fixing part 115 is removed from the storage box base 110, and the second fixing part 124 is removed from the cover 120, so that the plug of the power cord 130 can pass through the first opening 112 and the second opening 121. After assembling the cover 120 with the storage box base 110, the first fixing part 115 is fixed on the storage box base 110, and the second fixing part 124 is fixed on the cover 120.

[0148] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first fixing part 115 and the second fixing part 124 have fixing blocks 310 at both ends, and the storage box base 110 and the cover 120 have fixing grooves 320 with shapes that conform to the fixing blocks 310 at the corresponding positions.

[0149] Furthermore, the fixing block 310 has a spherical surface, which facilitates the disassembly of the first fixing part 115 and the second fixing part 124.

[0150] The detachable first fixing part 115 and second fixing part 124 make it easy to maintain the power cord storage box 100 and extend its service life.

[0151] In some possible implementations, the winding member 140 includes a fixing member 141 which may be disposed on the storage box base 110 and may be connected to the first end of the power cord 130.

[0152] The winding component 140 also includes a spring 142, which can be disposed on the fixing component 141. The spring 142 can be connected to the fixing component 141, the spring 142 can be wrapped around the outside of the fixing component 141, and the spring 142 can contact the power cord 130.

[0153] It is understood that the fastener 141 provides a stable base, allowing the power cord 130 to be securely fixed within the storage device; the design of the spring 142 allows it to provide appropriate tension during the storage and release of the power cord 130, enabling the power cord 130 to be smoothly wound and unwound.

[0154] The tension provided by the spring 142 allows the power cord 130 to automatically wind up when stored, reducing the hassle of manually organizing the power cord 130 and improving the convenience of the device; the fastener 141 ensures a secure connection at the first end of the power cord 130, preventing loosening or detachment during use; the design of the spring 142 provides tension while also protecting the power cord 130, reducing wear and damage caused by excessive pulling; users can easily pull out or retract the power cord 130, and the tension of the spring helps the power cord wind up automatically, making the operation simple and requiring no additional tools.

[0155] In some possible implementations, the spring 142 may form a multi-layered elastic portion, which may surround the outside of the fastener 141 layer by layer.

[0156] When the power cord 130 extends out of the receiving cavity 111 through the first opening 112 and the second opening 121, the distance between two adjacent elastic layers in the multi-layer elastic part increases.

[0157] When the power cord 130 enters the receiving cavity 111 through the first opening 112 and the second opening 121, the distance between two adjacent elastic layers in the multi-layer elastic part decreases.

[0158] It is understood that the above design allows the power cord 130 to provide moderate resistance when pulled out, helping to control the pull-out and retraction speed of the power cord 130. When the power cord 130 enters the receiving cavity 111 through the first opening 112 and the second opening 121, the distance between adjacent layers in the multi-layer elastic portion decreases, providing an automatic winding function.

[0159] The multi-layered elastic section provides an automatic winding function when the power cord 130 is retracted, reducing the hassle of manually organizing the power cord 130 and improving the convenience of using the refrigerator; the multi-layered elastic section provides moderate resistance to help control the pulling speed of the power cord 130 and prevent damage caused by pulling the power cord 130 out too quickly; while providing tension, the multi-layered elastic section also protects the power cord 130, reducing wear and damage caused by excessive pulling.

[0160] During use, when the power cord storage device 100 is in the second state, the elastic element 150 applies a force to the cover plate 122 away from the bottom plate 113. The first opening 112 abuts against the power cord 130 near the inner wall of the cover plate 122, and the second opening 121 abuts against the power cord 130 near the inner wall of the bottom plate 113. The first opening 112 and the second opening 121 clamp the power cord 130, and the power cord 130 cannot move relative to the first opening 112 and the second opening 121 due to friction and pressure.

[0161] When the power cord 130 is not in use, the power cord is wound inside the receiving cavity 111 under the tension of the spring 142.

[0162] refer to Figures 7-10 When a certain length of power cord 130 is needed, the power cord 130 is pulled outward from the first opening 112 and the second opening 121. Because the pulling force is greater than the tension of the spring 142, the friction of the first opening 112 and the second opening 121, and the elastic force of the elastic element 150, the power cord 130 is pulled out. As the length of the power cord 130 inside the receiving cavity 111 decreases, the distance between the elastic parts of the spring 142 caused by the power cord 130 decreases. When the pulling of the power cord stops, the first opening 112 and the second opening 121 clamp the power cord 130 again, preventing the power cord 130 from retracting into the receiving cavity 111.

[0163] When you want to retract the power cord 130, press the cover plate 122 towards the base plate 113. The elastic element 150 is compressed under force, reducing the distance between the base plate 113 and the cover plate 122. The power cord retractor 100 is then in its first state, and the relative positions of the first opening 112 and the second opening 121 shift. The inner wall of the first opening 112 near the cover plate 122 no longer abuts against the power cord 130, and the inner wall of the second opening 121 near the base plate 113 no longer abuts against the power cord 130. The spring piece 142 is under tension, increasing the distance between the elastic parts. The elastic parts then cause the power cord 130 to retract back into the receiving cavity 111. When you stop pressing the cover plate 122, the power cord retractor 100 returns to its second state, and the first opening 112 and the second opening 121 clamp the power cord 130 again.
