Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Existing power plugs consist of a plug body. Users need to hold the outside of the plug body to insert or remove the power plug. The plug body is flat, and to facilitate insertion and removal, it needs to be made relatively thick to allow for better grip. However, a thicker plug body is not aesthetically pleasing and can be difficult to use in confined spaces. While reducing the thickness of the plug body allows for use in limited spaces, it still makes it difficult to grip and operate. Furthermore, existing power plugs have straight-up metal prongs, and the entire plug body is made of hard plastic, increasing the risk of the metal prongs detaching from the plug body.

[0032] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] See Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses a power plug with a folding handle, comprising: a plug body 10; a handle 20, at least one handle 20 is provided on the plug body 10, and the handle 20 is rotatably connected to the plug body 10; and pins 30, at least two pins 30 are provided on the plug body 10, each pin 30 including a first connecting part 301 and a second connecting part 302, the first connecting part 301 extending along a first direction, the second connecting part 302 extending along a second direction, the first connecting part 301 being inserted inside the plug body 10, and the second connecting part 302 extending to the outside of the plug body 10.

[0037] This utility model is provided with a handle 20 that is rotatably connected to the plug body 10. Users can hold the handle 20 or the entire plug body 10 to insert or remove the plug body 10. Therefore, the thickness of the plug body 10 can be made thinner, making it more applicable and flexible. Furthermore, the first connecting part 301 of the plug 30 extends along the first direction, and the second connecting part 302 of the plug 30 extends along the second direction. The plug 30 is stably connected to the plug body 10 and is not easy to fall off.

[0038] It should be noted that the handle 20 can be rotated to the first state, for example, rotated to the upright state relative to the plug body 10, at which time the user can hold the handle 20 to plug and unplug; or the handle 20 can be rotated to the second state, for example, rotated to the horizontal state relative to the plug body 10, at which time the user can hold the plug body 10 to plug and unplug.

[0039] In this embodiment of the utility model, the first connecting part 301 and the second connecting part 302 have an included angle α, where 0 < α < 180°.

[0040] Furthermore, 60° < a < 120°.

[0041] See Figure 4 When a is 90°, the pin 30 is "L" shaped. The first connecting part 301 and the second connecting part 302 are perpendicular to each other. The first connecting part 301 extends in the horizontal direction, and the second connecting part 302 is arranged in the vertical direction.

[0042] To facilitate insertion and removal of the plug body 10, the second connecting part 302 is arranged in a direction parallel to the direction of insertion and removal of the plug body 10. That is, the central axis of the second connecting part 302 is arranged parallel to the central axis of the plug body 10, thereby reducing the resistance of the pins 30 to insertion and removal of the plug body 10, making the process of insertion and removal of the plug body 10 smoother. In order to facilitate use and reduce production costs, the plug body 10 is a regular shape. Of course, for aesthetic purposes, the plug body 10 can also be irregularly shaped.

[0043] Furthermore, the pin 30 is a metal pin, and the pin 30 is integrally formed. For example, the pin 30 can be formed by bending a piece of metal; of course, the pin 30 can also be formed by welding or other processes connecting the first connecting part 301 and the second connecting part 302 into one piece; it is understood that in order to improve the overall strength of the pin 30, the pin 30 is preferably integrally formed.

[0044] Since the first connecting part 301 and the second connecting part 302 have different extension directions, a bend is formed between the first connecting part 301 and the second connecting part 302. Because the pin 30 has a bend, during the insertion and removal of the plug body 10, the force direction of the second connecting part 302 is different from the extension direction of the second connecting part 302. The second connecting part 302 plays a snap-fit ​​role. Compared with the straight-up-down pin structure, the stability between the pin 30 and the plug body 10 is stronger.

[0045] Furthermore, when the pin 30 is in the form of a sheet or plate, because the pin 30 has a bent portion, the wire core 60 can contact the surface with the largest surface area of ​​the first connecting portion 301 or the surface with the largest surface area of ​​the second connecting portion 302, thereby ensuring good contact between the pin 30 and the wire core 60. Compared with a straight pin structure, the position of the wire core 60 in the power plug with the folding handle can be more selected, and the position of the wire core 60 can be arranged more reasonably, making the structure of the power plug with the folding handle more compact.

[0046] Specifically, the length of the first connecting part 301 is L1, and the length of the second connecting part 302 is L2.

[0047] More specifically, L1 = 1 / 4L2.

[0048] Understandably, the first connecting part 301 serves as the connection between the pin 30 and the plug body 10. The first connecting part 301 can be made shorter to avoid interference between multiple first connecting parts 301; the second connecting part 302 serves as the connection between the pin 30 and the socket. The second connecting part 302 needs to be made longer to ensure good contact between the pin 30 and the socket.

[0049] Of course, the relative lengths of the first connecting part 301 and the second connecting part 302 can be determined according to the actual application scenario and are not limited. In some special cases, the length of the first connecting part 301 can also be greater than the length of the second connecting part 302.

[0050] In this embodiment of the utility model, the handle 20 is rotatably connected to the plug body 10 via the pivot 40.

[0051] Specifically, the pivot 40 can be a metal pivot, and the handle 20 can be a metal handle, thereby ensuring that the pivot 40 and the handle 20 have a certain strength and reducing the probability of the pivot 40 and the handle 20 breaking when subjected to large forces.

[0052] Thus, the handle 20 can rotate relative to the plug body 10 around the pivot 40, and the handle 20 can rotate to an upright or horizontal position.

[0053] In this embodiment of the present invention, the plug body 10 includes a first mounting base 101 and a second mounting base 102 connected to each other. The first connecting part 301 is inserted into the interior of the first mounting base 101, and the second connecting part 302 passes through the second mounting base 102 and extends to the exterior of the plug body 10.

[0054] Specifically, see Figure 4 The first mounting base 101 is disposed on the upper part of the second mounting base 102, the first connecting part 301 is inserted laterally into the interior of the first mounting base 101, and the second connecting part 302 is inserted longitudinally through the second mounting base 102 and extends to the outside of the plug body 10.

[0055] Specifically, the first mounting base 101 and the second mounting base 102 can be directly connected through the pin 30; in order to further enhance the connection stability between the first mounting base 101 and the second mounting base 102, in addition to the pin 30, the connection between the first mounting base 101 and the second mounting base 102 can be further strengthened by adhesive bonding, snap-fitting, or threaded connection.

[0056] In this embodiment of the utility model, the first mounting base 101 is a flexible mounting base, and the second mounting base 102 is a rigid mounting base.

[0057] Based on the above structure, the power plug with folding handle can make the thickness of the entire plug body as thin as possible while meeting various safety distances and dimensions. In some application scenarios, the minimum thickness of the plug body can be 8mm.

[0058] For example, the first mounting base 101 is a PVC plastic mounting base, and the second mounting base 102 is a PC plastic mounting base.

[0059] In this embodiment of the utility model, the first mounting base 101 includes a first protrusion 1011 and a first recess 1012. The first recess 1012 is arranged around the edge of the first protrusion 1011 and is used to accommodate the handle 20. The rotating shaft 40 is arranged on the first protrusion 1011.

[0060] Specifically, the depth of the first recess 1012 is adapted to the height of the handle 20. When the handle 20 is rotated to a horizontal position, the handle 20 can be folded and stored in the first recess 1012. At this time, the upper surface of the handle 20 is flush with the upper surface of the first protrusion 1011, which is more aesthetically pleasing and can save space, making it convenient for use in environments with limited space.

[0061] It is understandable that the first recess 1012 is an open recessed recess. When the handle 20 is folded and stored in the first recess 1012, the outer periphery of the handle 20 is exposed outside the plug body 10. Compared with the handle 20 being completely embedded inside the plug body, the handle 20 of the power plug with the folding handle is more convenient for rotation operation.

[0062] In this embodiment of the utility model, a snap-fit ​​structure 50 is provided between the handle 20 and the plug body 10. The snap-fit ​​structure 50 includes a second protrusion 501 and a second recess 502 that cooperate with each other. The second protrusion 501 is an arc-shaped protrusion and the second recess 502 is an arc-shaped recess. The second protrusion 501 is disposed on the first protrusion 1011 and the second recess 502 is disposed on the handle 20, or the second protrusion 501 is disposed on the handle 20 and the second recess 502 is disposed on the first protrusion 1011.

[0063] When the handle 20 is rotated to a horizontal position, the second protrusion 501 on the handle 20 engages with the second recess 502 on the plug body 10, or the second recess 502 on the handle 20 engages with the second protrusion 501 on the plug body 10, thereby limiting the handle 20 and facilitating its folding and storage.

[0064] Since the second protrusion 501 is an arc-shaped protrusion and the second concave part 502 is an arc-shaped concave part, the user only needs to apply a small amount of force to achieve the engagement and disengagement of the second protrusion 501 and the second concave part 502.

[0065] In this embodiment of the utility model, the power plug with the folding handle also includes multiple wire cores 60, each wire core 60 corresponding to a pin 30; the wire cores 60 pass through the interior of the first mounting base 101 and connect to the corresponding first connecting part 301.

[0066] Specifically, core 60 is a flexible core.

[0067] In this embodiment of the utility model, multiple wire cores 60 are arranged in a row in a straight line to form a flattened arrangement of wire cores 60. When the diameter of the wire cores 60 is large, this flattened arrangement can further reduce the overall thickness of the power plug with a folding handle. Of course, in other application scenarios, multiple wire cores 60 are stacked in multiple rows in a triangular arrangement.

[0068] It should be noted that the wire core 60 is wrapped with a protective structure 70, which is a flexible structure, such as a PVC protective structure or a PE protective structure. The protective structure 70 is connected and fixed to the first mounting base 101.

[0069] Specifically, see Figures 1-3 Two handles 20 are respectively set on the left and right sides of the wire core 60 and the wire protection structure 70 to avoid interference between the handles 20 and the wire core 60 and the wire protection structure 70, so that the user can easily hold the handles 20 to plug and unplug the plug body 10.

[0070] Thus, the power plug with the folding handle is a combination of rigid and flexible structures, optimizing the structure and making the overall connection more stable.

[0071] In this embodiment of the utility model, the plug body 10 is provided with two prongs 30; and / or, the plug body 10 is provided with two handles 20.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] See Figures 5-8 Unlike Embodiment 1, in this embodiment of the present invention, the plug body 10 is provided with three pins 30.

[0074] It should be noted that the number of pins 30 is determined according to actual needs. For example, when the power plug with folding handle is compatible with the international two-prong plug, it has two pins 20, and when the power plug with folding handle is compatible with the international three-prong plug, it has three pins 20.

[0075] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
