Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plug technology, and in particular to a pop-out mechanism for folding plug pins. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional power plugs typically have fixed prongs. While this design is stable and reliable, the fixed prongs increase the product's size and make it less portable when users need to carry it. Several designs with foldable prongs have emerged on the market. These prongs can be folded and stored inside the product when not in use, reducing the overall size and making it easier to carry. However, existing foldable prongs lack an effective mechanism to help users easily pop the prongs out of their storage position. Users must manually pry out the prongs, which is inconvenient. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of foldable prong pop-out mechanism that provides a quick and convenient operating experience while maintaining the product's sleek appearance. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pop-out mechanism for folding pins, which is convenient to use and has a simple structure.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0005] A folding pin ejection mechanism includes a housing, foldable pins disposed within the housing, and a groove provided on the surface of the housing for accommodating the pins in a folded state.

[0006] The lower side of the groove of the outer shell is provided with a pop-out structure for popping out the plug. One end of the pop-out structure includes a stop member for abutting against the plug and gradually lifting the plug in the vertical direction within the groove. The other end of the pop-out structure is provided with a control member that can lift the plug by applying force. The stop member is connected to an elastic member for resetting the stop member.

[0007] As one embodiment: the abutment includes an arc-shaped concave surface provided under the groove and aligned with the groove for supporting the pin in the folded state, and a lifting slope is connected to one side of the arc-shaped concave surface;

[0008] The control component is a lever and is fixedly connected to the abutment component. Moving the control component left and right can drive the lifting inclined surface to move in the left and right direction to gradually abut the pin and then pop out the pin.

[0009] The control component is located on the upper side of the abutment and protrudes from the surface of the housing. The surface of the housing has a transverse groove for moving the control component.

[0010] The elastic element is a return spring disposed on one side of the abutment. When the return spring is not subjected to external force, it can push or pull the abutment so that the arc-shaped concave surface is aligned with the groove.

[0011] As a second embodiment: the abutment includes an arc-shaped concave surface that is disposed under the groove and can be aligned with the groove for supporting the pin in the folded state, and a lifting slope is connected to one side of the arc-shaped concave surface;

[0012] The control component is a pressing component that can move up and down. A first pushing slope is provided on the bottom of the control component, and a second pushing slope is provided on one side of the abutting component. The pressing control component pushes the second pushing slope through the first pushing slope, so that the lifting slope moves in the left and right direction to gradually abut the pin and then pop out the pin.

[0013] The elastic element is a return spring disposed on one side of the abutment. When the return spring is not subjected to external force, it can push or pull the abutment so that the arc-shaped concave surface is aligned with the groove.

[0014] As a third implementation method: the abutting member is a lever with a central hinge, which includes a lifting protrusion at one end that can move up and down, and the lifting protrusion is disposed below the groove;

[0015] The control element is a pressing element located at the other end of the abutment element. Pressing down the control element causes the lifting protrusion to move upward and gradually abut against the pin until the pin pops out.

[0016] The elastic element is a torsion spring located in the middle of the abutment. When the torsion spring is not subjected to external force, it twists the abutment to move the lifting protrusion down to the bottom of the groove.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This invention provides a simple and intuitive mechanism. Users only need to apply minimal force to quickly pop the prongs out of their retracted position by flicking or pressing the control mechanism. This ensures the aesthetic appeal of the prongs and housing when retracted, and simplifies the prong unfolding process when needed, improving user convenience. Furthermore, the use of elastic components such as return springs ensures the prongs return smoothly and accurately to their original position, preventing unnecessary wear. Through this pop-out mechanism design, the plug achieves a compact internal structure, maximizing internal space savings without compromising the pop-out function, thus further reducing product size and increasing portability.

[0024] To make the technical problem solved by this utility model, the technical solution adopted, and the technical effect achieved clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and not for limiting it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of them.

[0025] Reference Figure 2-5 The present invention proposes a pop-out mechanism for a folding plug, including a housing 1, a foldable plug 2 disposed inside the housing 1, and a groove 10 for placing the plug 2 in the folded state on the surface of the housing 1.

[0026] The lower side of the groove 10 of the outer shell 1 is provided with a pop-out structure 3 for popping out the plug 2. One end of the pop-out structure 3 includes an abutment 31 for abutting against the plug 2 and for gradually lifting the plug 2 in the vertical direction within the groove 10. The other end of the pop-out structure 3 is provided with a control member 30 that can lift the plug 2 by applying force to the abutment 31. The abutment 31 is connected to an elastic member 32 for resetting the abutment 31.

[0027] As an example 1:

[0028] The abutment 31 includes an arc-shaped concave surface 310 disposed under the groove 10 and aligned with the groove 10 for supporting the pin 2 in the folded state. A lifting slope 311 is connected to one side of the arc-shaped concave surface 310.

[0029] The control component 30 is a lever and is fixedly connected to the abutment component 31. Moving the control component 30 left and right can drive the lifting inclined surface 311 to move in the left and right direction to gradually abut the pin 2 and then pop out the pin 2.

[0030] The control element 30 is disposed on the upper side of the abutment element 31 and exposed on the surface of the housing 1. A transverse groove 300 for moving the control element 30 is provided on the surface of the housing 1.

[0031] The elastic element 32 is a return spring provided on one side of the abutment element 31. When the return spring is not subjected to external force, it can push or pull the abutment element 31 so that the arc-shaped concave surface 310 aligns with the groove 10.

[0032] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 When the pin 2 is folded and stored in the groove 10, the arc-shaped concave surface 310 of the abutment 31 aligns with the bottom surface of the groove 10, becoming part of its bottom surface. The user moves the control 30 located on the surface of the outer casing 1 to the right, lifting the inclined surface 311 to the right, gradually contacting and pushing the pin 2 upward, causing the pin 2 to pop out of the groove 10. At this time, the user can easily continue to move the pin 2 to the working position by hand. When the control 30 is released, the abutment 31, together with the control 30, is pushed back to its original position by the return spring on the right side of the abutment 31. The arc-shaped concave surface 310 aligns with the bottom of the groove 10 again, preparing for the next use, making it convenient and quick to use.

[0033] As an example two:

[0034] The abutment 31 includes an arc-shaped concave surface 310 disposed under the groove 10 and aligned with the groove 10 for supporting the pin 2 in the folded state. A lifting slope 311 is connected to one side of the arc-shaped concave surface 310.

[0035] The control component 30 is a pressing component that can move up and down. A first pushing slope 301 is provided on the bottom of the control component 30, and a second pushing slope 302 is provided on one side of the abutting component 31. When the control component 30 is pressed down, the first pushing slope 301 pushes the second pushing slope 302, so that the lifting slope 311 moves in the left and right direction to gradually abut the pin 2 and then pop out the pin 2.

[0036] The elastic element 32 is a return spring provided on one side of the abutment element 31. When the return spring is not subjected to external force, it can push or pull the abutment element 31 so that the arc-shaped concave surface 310 aligns with the groove 10.

[0037] Specifically, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the control element 30 is a pressing element, further simplifying the operation. The user only needs to press the control element 30 once, and the first pushing inclined surface 301 and the second pushing inclined surface 302 convert the up-and-down movement into left-and-right movement. (Reference) Figure 4 Press down the control component 30, lift the inclined surface 311 to the left, gradually contact and push the pin 2 upward, so that the pin 2 pops out of the groove 10. At this time, the pin 2 can be easily moved to the working position by hand. Release the control component 30, and under the push of the reset spring on the left side of the abutment component 31, the abutment component 31 and the control component 30 are pushed back to the original position. The arc-shaped concave surface 310 is aligned with the bottom of the groove 10 again, ready for the next use, making it more convenient and faster to use.

[0038] As an example three:

[0039] The abutment 31 is a lever that is hinged and fixed in the middle, and includes a lifting protrusion 312 at one end that can move up and down. The lifting protrusion 312 is disposed below the groove 10.

[0040] The control element 30 is a pressing element located at the other end of the abutment element 31. Pressing down the control element 30 can cause the lifting protrusion 312 to move upward and gradually abut against the pin 2 until the pin 2 pops out.

[0041] The elastic element 32 is a torsion spring located in the middle of the abutment 31. When the torsion spring is not subjected to external force, it twists the abutment 31 to move the lifting protrusion 312 down to the bottom of the groove 10.

[0042] Specifically, this embodiment operates the same as Embodiment Two, except for the structural principle of the pop-out mechanism 3. Pressing the control member 30 causes the other end of the abutment member 31 to rise, causing the lifting protrusion 312 to move upward and gradually abut against the pin 2 until the pin 2 pops out. Compared to the lifting ramp 311, the vertical movement range of the lifting protrusion 312 can be designed to be larger, which is beneficial for the pin 2 to pop out better, and the user can more easily continue to move the pin 2 to the working position. Releasing the control member 30 causes the torsion spring to pull the lever back to its original position, and the lifting protrusion 312 moves down below the groove 10, preparing for the next use, making it more convenient and faster to use.

[0043] In summary, the folding pin pop-out mechanism provided by this invention significantly improves upon the shortcomings of traditional products, offering users a more efficient, safe, aesthetically pleasing, and easy-to-use solution.
