Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plug technology, and in particular to a flip plug. Background Technology

[0002] In situations where there is limited space on a wall, such as behind a refrigerator, there is often a socket. To avoid taking up too much space, the refrigerator has to be placed as close to the wall as possible. However, sufficient space needs to be left between the refrigerator and the wall for the length of the plug. If the plug is too long, it will waste too much space, affecting both aesthetics and usability. Furthermore, if the refrigerator and the plug are placed too close together, the plug and wires may be squeezed, causing the plug to be easily damaged. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above situation, it is necessary to provide a flip plug that solves at least one of the above problems.

[0004] A flip plug includes a housing and a flip part, the flip part being flip-configurable within the housing, and a power connector being disposed within the flip part, the power connector being flip-configurable relative to the housing along with the flip part.

[0005] By placing the plug on the flip-up part, which can be flipped relative to the outer casing, the plug can be flipped relative to the outer casing. This allows the angle between the power cord and the plug to be changed in confined spaces (for example, in existing plugs, the power cord and plug are on the same horizontal plane or on two parallel planes, but after the plug can be flipped relative to the outer casing, the angle between the plug and the power cord can reach about 90°). This makes it convenient to use in narrow spaces and avoids the power cord being bent when being pulled, thus preventing easy damage to the power cord. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Please see Figure 1-12 A flip plug according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 100 and a flip part 200. The flip part 200 is flipped and disposed in the housing 100. A power connector 300 is disposed in the flip part 200. The power connector 300 can be flipped relative to the housing 100 along with the flip part 200.

[0029] In this embodiment, by setting the power plug 300 on the flip part 200, and the flip part 200 being able to flip relative to the outer shell 100, the power plug 300 can be flipped relative to the outer shell 100. This allows the angle between the power cord and the power connector 310 to be changed in a small space (for example, in existing plugs, the power cord and the power connector 310 are both on a horizontal plane or on two parallel planes respectively, but after the power connector 310 can be flipped relative to the outer shell 100, the angle between the power connector 310 and the power cord can reach about 90°). This makes it convenient to use in confined spaces and avoids the power cord being bent when being pulled, which could easily damage the power cord.

[0030] refer to Figure 10 Preferably, the rotation angle of the flipping part and the outer shell can reach 91°.

[0031] In one embodiment, the top of the flip-up portion 200 on the side opposite to the power connector 300 is chamfered.

[0032] In this embodiment, by setting the top of the flip part 200 away from the power plug 300 to be chamfered, the chamfer of the flip part 200 will not be blocked by the outer shell 100 when the flip part 200 is rotated. The outer shell 100 can be made to fit the flip part 200 more tightly, so that the plug can be made smaller.

[0033] In one embodiment, the outer casing 100 includes a first casing 110 and a second casing 120 that are detachably connected. The flipping portion 200 is provided with rotating portions on opposite sides. The first casing 110 and the second casing 120 are respectively provided with a first limiting portion 111 and a second limiting portion 122 corresponding to the rotating portions. An axial space is formed between the first limiting portion 111 and the second limiting portion 122 to accommodate the rotating portions. The rotating portions can rotate relative to the outer casing 100 in the axial space.

[0034] In this embodiment, by setting the outer shell 100 as a detachable first shell 110 and a second shell 120, the flipping part 200 is disposed between the two, and the rotating part is restricted by the first limiting part 111 and the second limiting part 122, so that the flipping part 200 can rotate in the axial space formed by the first limiting part 111 and the second limiting part 122, the assembly is simpler, and since the rotating part is easy to wear and damage, it is convenient to replace the flipping part 200.

[0035] In one embodiment, a plurality of alignment protrusions and corresponding alignment recesses are provided between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, and a snap-fit ​​assembly is also provided between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, and the two housings are connected by the snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0036] In another embodiment, a screw connection assembly is provided between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, and the two are fixed together by screws.

[0037] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​assembly is disposed on the side of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 near the flip-up portion 200, and the screw connection assembly is disposed in the middle.

[0038] The snap-fit ​​assembly can be an extension rod with protrusions and a through hole or groove, and the snap-fit ​​connection is achieved by the protrusions on the extension rod snapping into the through hole or groove.

[0039] In one embodiment, the second housing 120 is configured as a flip space 121 to accommodate the flip part 200 on the side near the flip part 200, and the first housing 110 covers the flip space 121. The flip part 200 rotates downwards during rotation (see attached figure). Figure 3 ).

[0040] The second limiting part is located on both sides of the flipping space 121 and forms two upward-opening semi-circular notches.

[0041] The first limiting part is disposed on both sides of the first housing 110 corresponding to the second limiting part, forming a circular groove or through hole with the second limiting part.

[0042] In one embodiment, the flipping part 200 includes a first inner shell 210 and a second inner shell 220 that are detachably connected. The power connector 300 is clamped between the first inner shell 210 and the second inner shell 220. The first inner shell 210 is provided with a first shaft portion 212 on opposite sides, and the second inner shell 220 is provided with a second shaft portion 221 on opposite sides. The first shaft portion 212 and the second shaft portion 221 on the same side are combined to form the rotating part.

[0043] In this embodiment, by clamping the power connector 300 between the removable first inner shell 210 and the second inner shell 220, the power connector 300 is easy to replace and plug in.

[0044] Preferably, both the first shaft portion 212 and the second shaft portion 221 are outwardly extending arc-shaped protrusions with opposite openings. When assembled, they form a shape and size that fits the shaft space and can rotate within the shaft space.

[0045] The flip-up part 200 has a first wire through hole on the side opposite to the power plug 300, and a second wire through hole is provided between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.

[0046] In one embodiment, a connecting plate 500 is provided on the front side of the flipping part 200, and the connecting plate 500 is detachably connected to the first inner shell 210 and the second inner shell 220.

[0047] In this embodiment, by setting a connecting plate 500, which is located on the front side of the flip-up part 200, the gap between the flip-up part 200 and the outer shell 100 can be blocked. During normal use, it does not affect the appearance. Moreover, the connecting plate 500 is set to detachably connect the first inner shell 210 and the second inner shell 220, which further stabilizes the connection between the first inner shell 210 and the second inner shell 220. When it is necessary to disassemble the first inner shell 210 and the second inner shell 220, it is only necessary to remove the connecting plate 500 first.

[0048] The connecting plate 500 is provided with a corresponding hole for the power connector 300, and the power connector 300 passes through the hole.

[0049] Preferably, the bottom front side of the second housing 120 is chamfered.

[0050] In this embodiment, since a connecting plate 500 is provided, and in order for the connecting plate 500 to fit more closely to the outer shell 100 when rotating, the bottom front side of the second shell 120 is chamfered.

[0051] Preferably, the connecting plate 500 is connected to the first inner shell 210 and the second inner shell 220 via a snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0052] In one embodiment, the power connector 300 is rotatably disposed in the flip-up portion 200.

[0053] In this embodiment, by making the power plug 300 rotatable, it can be used with different sockets.

[0054] In one embodiment, the power connector 300 is provided in two sets. The power connector 300 includes a plug 310 and a rotating part 320. The rotating part 320 is disposed on the plug 310. The plug 310 is engaged with the flip part 200 through the rotating part 320. The two sets of rotating parts 320 are provided with teeth 322 on opposite sides. The two sets of rotating parts 320 can be rotated by meshing through the teeth 322.

[0055] In this embodiment, a through hole is provided on the front side of the flipping part 200, and the rotating part 320 can be engaged in the through hole and can rotate in the through hole. The meshing of the teeth 322 between the rotating parts 320 makes it possible to rotate one rotating part 320 and the other rotating part 320 will rotate in the opposite direction, which is suitable for switching between two-socket and three-socket working states.

[0056] In one embodiment, the rotating part 320 is provided with at least one set of positioning grooves 321 or positioning notches, and the flipping part 200 is provided with a positioning member 400. The positioning member 400 is inserted into the positioning grooves 321 or positioning notches to restrict the rotation of the two sets of rotating parts 320, thereby fixing the power plug 300 in a certain preset working state.

[0057] In this embodiment, by setting a positioning member 400 and inserting the positioning member 400 into the positioning groove 321 or the positioning notch to prevent the rotation of the rotating part 320, the plug can be kept in the working state of two or three sockets, making it more convenient to use.

[0058] In one embodiment, two sets of positioning grooves 321 or positioning notches are provided, and when the positioning member 400 is inserted into the positioning grooves 321 or positioning notches, the working state of the power connector 300 corresponds to two sockets and three sockets, respectively.

[0059] In this embodiment, the two sets of positioning grooves 321 or positioning notches correspond to the power plug 300 rotating to a two-hole or three-hole working state for convenient use.

[0060] In one embodiment, the positioning member 400 includes a locking part 420, a reset part 430, and an extension part 410. The reset part 430 and the extension part 410 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the positioning member 400. The flipping part 200 is provided with a flipping through hole 211 corresponding to the positioning member 400, and the extension part 410 passes through the flipping through hole 211.

[0061] A reset spring 600 is provided between the reset part 430 and the inner wall of the flipping part 200. The reset spring 600 acts on the reset part 430 and causes the positioning member 400 to tend to move toward the flipping through hole 211.

[0062] The locking part 420 is disposed on the positioning member 400 opposite to the flip-through hole 211 of the rotating part 320.

[0063] In this embodiment, the extension 410 is used to indirectly press the positioning member 400 from the outside of the flipping part 200, and to store energy for the reset spring when pressing. After rotating the rotating part 320 to the preset position, the pressing is released, and the positioning member 400 rebounds under the action of the reset spring, so that the locking part 420 is locked into the positioning groove 321 or positioning notch on the rotating part 320, restricting the movement of the rotating part 320, thereby stabilizing the power plug 300 in the working state of two or three sockets.

[0064] The outer casing 100 is provided with a notch or an external through hole corresponding to the flip-through hole. The extension 410 can extend into the external through hole or notch on the outer casing 100, or even extend to the outside of the outer casing 100, so as to facilitate the direct pressing operation of the positioning member 400.

[0065] In one embodiment, the positioning member 400 is configured in a Y-shape, the reset part 430 is disposed in the middle of the Y-shaped fork opening at the top of the positioning member 400, the extension part 410 is disposed at the bottom of the Y-shape of the positioning member 400, and the locking part 420 is disposed on the lower side wall of the Y-shaped fork of the positioning member 400.

[0066] In this embodiment, two sets of locking parts 420 are provided. By pressing the extension part 410, the two sets of locking parts 420 can be directly controlled to disengage from or engage with the positioning groove 321 or positioning notch, so as to achieve stable rotation and positioning of the rotating part 320. Moreover, it is set in a Y shape, with the reset part 430 located in the middle of the opening, so that the pressing is more balanced and stable.

[0067] In one embodiment, to avoid confusion regarding the positions of the live and neutral wires after rotating to the three-prong state, the two sets of rotating parts or the outer surfaces of the rotating parts can be set to different colors, for example, the rotating part corresponding to the live wire is red and the rotating part corresponding to the neutral wire is blue.

[0068] In another embodiment, to avoid confusion about the positions of the live and neutral wires after rotating to the three-prong state, the rotation directions of the two sets of rotating parts can be preset.

[0069] Specifically, since the two sets of rotating parts are meshed together, the directions of rotation are opposite. Positioning grooves or positioning notches are set only at preset positions in the correct rotation direction of the rotating parts (of course, positioning grooves or positioning notches also need to be set at the parallel positions of the two plugs; here we mainly discuss the rotation problem in the three-prong state) to achieve orientation and fixation in the three-prong state. Only after rotating to the correct direction and the correct position can the rotating parts be fixed by positioning components.

[0070] In another embodiment, to avoid confusion about the positions of the live and neutral wires after rotating to the three-prong state, a limiting member can be provided to restrict the rotation direction of the rotating part, thereby preventing confusion about the positions of the live and neutral wires after rotating to the three-prong state.

[0071] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
