Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a multifunctional power strip with a protective structure. Background Technology
[0002] A power strip is a multi-socket outlet with a cord, also known as a power strip. It is a common portable power distribution device used to extend the distance of power supply. By plugging the plug with a power cord into the main power supply, the plug can be moved freely to a certain position. Then, electrical appliances and other equipment that need power can be plugged into the plug to achieve power supply, making it convenient to use electricity.
[0003] Existing power strips lack safety protection structures, with their sockets exposed on the surface. They are not dustproof or waterproof, making them prone to accumulating dust or letting water seep in, which can cause short circuits in the internal wiring, posing certain electrical safety hazards and shortening the lifespan of the power strip.
[0004] Therefore, addressing the issue of existing power strips lacking safety protection, with exposed sockets that are not dustproof or waterproof, easily accumulating dust or allowing water droplets to seep in, potentially causing short circuits in the internal wiring and posing electrical safety hazards, thus shortening the power strip's lifespan, a multi-functional power strip with a protective structure can be designed. This design incorporates two shielding plates and a connecting plate, with adjustment mechanisms on the left and right sides of the casing to control the position of the connecting plate. This allows for easy control of the two shielding plates to cover the corresponding combination sockets and to be stored away. When covering the combination sockets, the design provides good dust and water protection, improving the safety of the power strip itself. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problem that existing power strips lack safety protection and have exposed sockets that are not dustproof or waterproof, making them prone to dust accumulation or water seepage, which can cause short circuits in the internal wiring, pose certain electrical safety hazards, and shorten the lifespan of the power strip.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a multifunctional power strip with a protective structure, including a housing; it also includes a shield, a connecting plate, and an adjustment mechanism. The upper surface of the housing has eight sets of combined plug holes at equal intervals. N-shaped anti-collision plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the housing. Two shields are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper surface of each set of combined plug holes. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the ends of the two shields in each set that are relatively far apart. Adjustment mechanisms for controlling the up and down movement of each connecting plate are provided on the left and right sides of the housing. Each adjustment mechanism includes a fixing block, a fixing rod, a sliding sleeve, and an N-shaped lifting plate. Two sets of fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the housing, and a fixing rod is fixedly connected between the two sets of upper and lower opposing fixing blocks. Sliding sleeves are movably sleeved on the outer sides of the two fixing rods. An N-shaped lifting plate is fixedly connected to the ends of the two sliding sleeves that are relatively close to each other. The front and rear ends of the connecting plate are rotatably connected to the inner sides of the corresponding N-shaped lifting plates through a rotating shaft.
[0007] Preferably, when using the multi-row combination sockets on the housing, for the combination sockets that need to be used, first rotate the two corresponding shields 90 degrees to a vertical position with their respective connecting plates as the center, and then press them down together with the connecting plates. The sliding sleeves on both sides of the N-shaped lifting plate in the adjustment mechanism slide smoothly down on the outside of the fixed rod, thereby storing the shields and connecting plates between the housing and the corresponding N-shaped anti-collision plate on one side, completing the storage and exposing the corresponding combination sockets for convenient use. For the combination sockets that do not need to be used, the above method is reversed. Move the corresponding set of shields and connecting plates to the upper surface of the housing, and then flip the two shields to the surface of the housing. At this time, the relatively close ends of the two shields are pressed against each other, thereby covering and sealing the exposed unused combination sockets, isolating them from the outside, and providing dust and water protection.
[0008] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided at the far end of the two connecting plates that are opposite each other on the left and right sides of each group, and a fan-shaped limiting piece is movably inserted into the inner side of each limiting groove.
[0009] Preferably, one end of each sector-shaped limiting piece protruding from the limiting groove is fixedly connected to a rotating column, the lower end of the rotating column is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the corresponding N-shaped anti-collision plate, and the upper end of each rotating column is fixedly connected to a knob.
[0010] Preferably, an elastic rubber plate is fixedly connected to the relatively close end of the two opposing baffles in each group, and an elastic rubber pad is fixedly connected to the lower end of each baffle.
[0011] Preferably, the surfaces of the two N-shaped anti-collision plates are provided with eight through slots at equal intervals, and each through slot has a sliding actuating block on its inner side. Each actuating block has a lifting strip fixedly connected to one end facing the side of the housing.
[0012] Preferably, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected between each actuating block and the corresponding slot top wall, and a spring is movably sleeved on the outer side of each telescopic rod.
[0013] Preferably, each shield has an anti-slip groove on its upper surface, and a reflector is fixedly connected to the front end of the housing.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] The device features two baffles on the upper surface of the housing corresponding to each of the modular socket holes. The two baffles are connected to a connecting plate, and adjustment mechanisms for controlling the position of the connecting plate are located on the left and right sides of the housing. This allows for convenient covering of the corresponding modular socket holes by the baffles and their storage. When covering the modular socket holes, the device achieves a good sealing effect, providing significant dust and water protection, thereby improving the safety of the power strip, reducing safety hazards, and extending its service life.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides an embodiment: a multifunctional power strip with a protective structure, including a housing 1; it also includes a shielding plate 4, a connecting plate 5, and an adjustment mechanism. The upper surface of the housing 1 has eight sets of combined plug holes 2 evenly spaced. N-shaped anti-collision plates 3 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the housing 1. Two shielding plates 4 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper surface of each set of combined plug holes 2. A connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the relatively far ends of the two shielding plates 4 in each set. Adjustment mechanisms for controlling the up-and-down movement of each connecting plate 5 are provided on the left and right sides of the housing 1. Each adjustment mechanism includes a fixing block 601, a fixing rod 602, a sliding sleeve 603, and an N-shaped lifting plate 604. Two sets of fixing blocks 601 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the housing 1, with a fixing rod 602 fixedly connected between the two relatively opposite fixing blocks 601 in each set. Sliding sleeves 603 are movably sleeved on the outer sides of the two fixing rods 602, and an N-shaped lifting plate 604 is fixedly connected to the relatively close ends of the two sliding sleeves 603. The connecting plate... The front and rear ends of 5 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the corresponding N-shaped lifting plate 604 via a pivot. When using the multi-row combined plug holes 2 on the housing 1, for the combined plug holes 2 that need to be used, first rotate the two corresponding shielding plates 4 ninety degrees around their respective connecting plates 5 to a vertical position, and then press them down together with the connecting plates 5. The sliding sleeves 603 on both sides of the N-shaped lifting plate 604 in the adjustment mechanism slide smoothly down on the outside of the fixing rod 602, thereby taking the shielding plates 4 and connecting plates 5 and storing them in the housing. Between the body 1 and the corresponding N-shaped anti-collision plate 3 on one side, the corresponding combination plug hole 2 is exposed for easy use. For the combination plug hole 2 that is not used, the process is reversed. The corresponding set of cover plate 4 and connecting plate 5 are moved to the upper surface of the housing 1, and then the two cover plates 4 are flipped to the surface of the housing 1. At this time, the two cover plates 4 are close to each other at the relatively close ends, thus covering and sealing the exposed unused combination plug hole 2, isolating it from the outside, and providing dust and water protection.
[0026] Please see Figures 4-7In this embodiment, each pair of left and right opposite connecting plates 5 has a limiting groove 7 at one end that is far apart from each other. A fan-shaped limiting piece 8 is movably inserted into the inner side of each limiting groove 7. When the two shielding plates 4 in a group cover the corresponding combined plug hole 2, the fan-shaped limiting piece 8 is inserted into the limiting groove 7 of the connecting plate 5 to prevent it from overturning under external force, thus achieving the stability of the closed state. At the same time, when the two shielding plates 4 in a group are stored, the fan-shaped limiting piece 8 can be placed above to prevent the shielding plate 4 from sliding out of the storage side space due to external force. A rotating column 9 is fixedly connected to one end of each fan-shaped limiting piece 8 that protrudes from the limiting groove 7. The lower end is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the corresponding N-shaped anti-collision plate 3, and a rotating knob 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of each rotating column 9. Rotating the rotating knob 10 drives the rotating column 9 to rotate, and then the rotating column 9 drives the fan-shaped limiting piece 8 to rotate for limiting. An elastic rubber plate 11 is fixedly connected to the relatively close end of each pair of left and right opposing baffles 4. An elastic rubber pad 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of each baffle 4. When the relatively close ends of the two baffles 4 are attached, the two elastic rubber plates 11 are tightly pressed, which can further keep the two baffles 4 in stable contact. At the same time, the elastic rubber pad 12 at the bottom is in close contact with the surface of the shell 1, thereby improving the sealing effect.
[0027] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, eight slots 13 are evenly spaced on the surfaces of the two N-shaped anti-collision plates 3. A toggle block 14 is slidably disposed on the inner side of each slot 13. A lifting strip 15 is fixedly connected to one end of each toggle block 14 facing the side of the housing 1. Pushing the toggle block 14 upwards with a finger causes the lifting strip 15 to rise, thereby causing the corresponding N-shaped lifting plate 604 to rise, facilitating the removal of the shield 4 from the side storage space. Each toggle block 14 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the corresponding slot 13. The housing 1 is equipped with telescopic rods 16, and springs 17 are movably sleeved on the outer side of each telescopic rod 16. The telescopic rods 16 and springs 17 cooperate to facilitate the lifting of the toggle block 14. Each shield 4 has an anti-slip groove 18 on its upper surface. A reflector 19 is fixedly connected to the front end of the housing 1. The anti-slip grooves 18 facilitate the use of fingers to toggle the shield 4. Since the housing 1 includes eight sets of combined plug holes 2 and is relatively long, the reflector 19 facilitates reflection in low light conditions at night, making it easier for users to see the end position of the housing 1.
[0028] When using the multi-row combination plug holes 2 on the housing 1, for the combination plug holes 2 that need to be used, first rotate the knob 10 to drive the rotating column 9 to rotate, and then drive the fan-shaped limiting piece 8 to rotate out of the limiting groove 7 of the corresponding connecting plate 5 through the rotating column 9 to release the limit. Then rotate the two corresponding shielding plates 4 ninety degrees with their respective corresponding connecting plates 5 as the center to the vertical state, and then press them down together with the connecting plates 5. The sliding sleeves 603 on both sides of the N-shaped lifting plate 604 in the adjustment mechanism slide smoothly down outside the fixed rod 602, so that the shielding plate 4 and the connecting plate 5 are stored between the housing 1 and the corresponding N-shaped anti-collision plate 3, completing the storage and exposing the corresponding combination plug holes 2 for convenient use. For the unused combination socket 2, use your finger to push the corresponding toggle block 14 upwards, causing the lifting bar 15 to rise. The lifting bar 15 then causes the corresponding N-shaped lifting plate 604 to rise, further moving the corresponding set of shielding plates 4 and connecting plates 5 to the upper surface of the housing 1. Then, flip the two shielding plates 4 onto the surface of the housing 1. By rotating the knob 10, the rotating column 9 is driven to rotate. Then, the rotating column 9 drives the fan-shaped limiting piece 8 to rotate and insert into the limiting groove 7 of the corresponding connecting plate 5 to achieve limiting. At this time, the relatively close ends of the two shielding plates 4 are pressed against each other. With the help of the elastic rubber plate 11 and elastic rubber pad 12, the exposed unused combination socket 2 is covered and sealed, isolated from the outside, and protected from dust and water.
[0029] Through the above steps, the device is equipped with two shielding plates 4, which are connected to a connecting plate 5. Adjustment mechanisms for controlling the position of the connecting plate 5 are provided on the left and right sides of the housing 1. This facilitates the covering of the corresponding combination socket 2 by the shielding plates 4 and allows for their storage. The two shielding plates 4 effectively cover and seal the corresponding combination socket 2, providing significant dust and water protection. This improves the safety of the power strip, reduces safety hazards, and extends its service life. It addresses the problem of existing power strips lacking safety protection, with exposed sockets that lack dust and water protection, easily accumulating dust or allowing water droplets to seep in, potentially causing short circuits in the internal wiring, posing electrical safety hazards, and shortening the power strip's lifespan.
