Through the cooperation of these structures, the power connection device achieves a high degree of flatness with the desktop and is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0031] To better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of this disclosure, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a concealed power connection device 10 according to one embodiment includes a housing 100, a power connection assembly 200, and an elastic pressing assembly 300. The housing 100 is used for mounting on a desktop. The elastic pressing assembly 300 is installed inside the housing 100. The power connection assembly 200 includes a fixed bracket 210, a movable bracket 220, a power connection module 230, and an elastic damper 240. The fixed bracket 210 is installed inside the housing 100. The housing 100 has an embedding groove 110. A portion of the movable bracket 220 is embedded in the embedding groove 110. The movable bracket 220 and the... The fixed bracket 210 is movably connected, and the power receiving module 230 is installed on the movable bracket 220. The power receiving module 230 is used to electrically connect with the power receiving device. The elastic damper 240 is connected to the fixed bracket 210, and the working end of the elastic damper 240 is connected to the movable bracket 220. The working end of the elastic pressing component 300 abuts against the movable bracket 220. The elastic pressing component 300 is used to disengage from the movable bracket 220 when pressed, so that the elastic damper 240 drives the movable bracket 220 to move away from the embedded groove 110.

[0033] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the elastic end of the elastic pressing component 300 is in a relaxed state, while the elastic end of the elastic damper 240 is in a compressed state. At this time, the elastic pressing component 300 abuts against the movable bracket 220, preventing the movable bracket 220 from moving along the outside of the housing 100, i.e., preventing the movable bracket 220 from moving away from the embedding slot 110. When the power connection module 230 needs to be used, pressing the elastic pressing component 300 compresses the elastic end of the elastic pressing component 300, thus enabling the elastic pressing... Component 300 no longer abuts against the movable bracket 220, while the compressed elastic damper 240 exerts a force on the movable bracket 220, driving it to move outward from the housing 100. This causes the power connection module 230 to protrude from the housing 100, thus establishing an electrical connection between the power connection module 230 and the power connection device. When the power connection module 230 is not needed, the movable bracket 220 is pressed downward, causing it to abut against the elastic pressing component 300, thereby concealing the power connection module 230 within the housing 100. Furthermore, the power connection module 230 is equipped with a power connection port, such as a three-prong plug, a two-prong plug, or a USB port.

[0034] The aforementioned concealed power connection device 10 has a housing 100 mounted on a desktop, a fixed bracket 210 installed inside the housing 100, a movable bracket 220 movably connected to the fixed bracket 210, a power connection module 230 mounted on the movable bracket 220, and an elastic pressing component 300 mounted on the housing 100 and abutting against the movable bracket 220. When power is needed, pressing the elastic pressing component 300 compresses it, causing its working end to no longer abut against the movable bracket 220. At this time, the elastic damper 240 extends and exerts a force on the movable bracket 220, causing the movable bracket 220 to move and protrude from the surface of the housing 100, thereby connecting the power connection module 230 to the power connection device via a wire. When power is not needed, pressing the movable bracket 220 downwards hides the power connection module 230 inside the housing 100. Through the cooperation of these structures, the power connection device achieves a high degree of flatness with the desktop and is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the elastic damper 240 includes a torsion spring (not shown) and a damping element 241. The torsion spring is installed inside the damping element 241. One end of the damping element 241 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 210, and the other end of the damping element 241 passes through the movable bracket 220 and is rotatably connected to the fixed bracket 210. When the torsion spring is compressed or stretched, it drives the movable bracket 220 to rotate in the direction of approaching or moving away from the embedded groove 110. In this embodiment, a torsion spring is disposed inside the damping member 241. One end of the torsion spring is fixed inside the damping member, and the other end of the torsion spring is connected to the rotating end of the damping member. The connection point between the torsion spring and the rotating end of the damping member is far away from the connection point between the movable bracket 220 and the fixed bracket 210, so that the torsion spring can drive the end of the damping member 241 near the movable bracket 220 to rotate. That is, the rotating end of the damping member 241 can drive the movable bracket 220 to rotate. The end of the damping member 241 away from the movable bracket 220 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 210 through a connecting post. The torsion spring is in a compressed state in the initial state. When the movable bracket 220 is separated from the elastic pressing component 300, the torsion spring drives the end of the damping member 241 near the movable bracket 220 to rotate, thereby driving the movable bracket 220 to rotate upward, so that the power connection module 230 protrudes from the housing 100.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the movable support 220 includes a top plate 221 and a support body 222. The top plate 221 is connected to the support body 222 and covers the recessed groove 110. The support body 222 is rotatably connected to the fixed support 210 and is connected to the damping member 241. In this embodiment, the top plate 221 covers the recessed groove 110, making the top plate 221 flush with the surface of the housing 100, thereby making the device flush with the plane of the table. The support body 222 is rotatably connected to the fixed support 210. When the top plate 221 is no longer in contact with the actuating end of the elastic pressing component 300, the damping member 241 and the torsion spring drive the support body 222 to move, thereby driving the power connection module 230 on the support body 222 to move.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, a first snap-fit ​​groove 222a is formed on the periphery of the bracket body 222. A portion of the damping member 241 is located within the first snap-fit ​​groove 222a. A clearance hole is also formed in the groove wall of the first snap-fit ​​groove 222a. The end of the damping member 241 passes through the clearance hole and is rotatably connected to the fixed bracket 210. In this embodiment, when the torsion spring is relaxed, it drives the end of the damping member 241 near the bracket body 222 to rotate. At this time, the damping member 241 located in the first snap-fit ​​groove 222a drives the bracket body 222 to rotate, thereby causing the power connection module 230 on the bracket body 222 to protrude from the housing 100.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a stop post 222b protrudes from the periphery of the bracket body 222. The stop post 222b is used to abut against the inner side of the housing 100 when the bracket body 222 moves to a preset position. It can be understood that the stop post 222b acts as a stop. When the torsion spring and damping element 241 drive the bracket body 222 to rotate to the preset position, the stop post abuts against the inner side of the housing 100. That is, the stop post generates a force opposite to that of the torsion spring on the bracket body 222, preventing the bracket body 222 from continuing to rotate in the direction of the torsion spring force. At this time, the power connection module 230 protrudes from the housing 100.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the elastic pressing assembly 300 includes a pressing member 310, an elastic member 330, and a mounting bracket 320. The mounting bracket 320 is connected to the inner side of the housing 100. The housing 100 has a clearance groove 120. The pressing member 310 is located in the clearance groove 120 and is movably connected to the mounting bracket 320. The top plate 221 has a second snap-fit ​​groove 221a. The working end of the pressing member 310 is located in the second snap-fit ​​groove 221a. The two ends of the elastic member 330 are elastically connected to the pressing member 310 and the mounting bracket 320, respectively. When the elastic member 330 is compressed, the working end of the pressing member 310 moves away from the second snap-fit ​​groove 221a. In this embodiment, both ends of the elastic member 330 are elastically connected to the pressing member 310, and the pressing member 310 is movably connected to the mounting bracket 320. When the pressing member 310 is subjected to force, the elastic member 330 is compressed, thereby causing the pressing member 310 to move. That is, at this time, the working end of the pressing member 310 has left the second locking groove 221a, and the pressing member 310 no longer abuts against the top plate 221. Under the action of the torsion spring and the damping member 241, the bracket body 222 rotates upward, thereby protruding the power connection module 230 from the housing 100. Further, when it is necessary to hide the power connection module 230, when the bracket body 222 is rotated downward to the preset position, the working end of the pressing member 310 is subjected to force, and the elastic member 330 is compressed at this time to lock the working end of the pressing member 310 into the second locking groove 221a, thereby fixing the top plate 221 and the pressing member 310. Further, the elastic member 330 is a spring.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the concealed power receiving device 10 further includes a wireless charger 400. The housing 100 has a receiving slot, which is adjacent to the embedded slot 110. The wireless charger 400 is located in the receiving slot and connected to the housing 100. It is understood that the power receiving module 230 is electrically connected to the power receiving device via a wire, enabling the power receiving module 230 to power the power receiving device. However, if the wire is lost, the power receiving module 230 cannot power the power receiving device. Therefore, in this embodiment, the power receiving device also includes a wireless charger 400, which is located in the receiving slot and connected to the housing 100. The wireless charger 400 powers devices with wireless charging capabilities, improving the compatibility of the power receiving device.

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the housing 100 includes a top cover 100a and a bottom cover 100b. The top cover 100a and the bottom cover 100b are detachably connected. The mounting groove 110 is formed in the top cover 100a, and the top cover 100a is used to engage with a slot on the desktop. In this embodiment, the top cover 100a and the bottom cover 100b are screwed together to facilitate assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the top cover 100a is larger than that of the bottom cover 100b to facilitate engagement with the slot on the desktop.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the concealed power connection device 10 further includes a friction plate 500, which is installed on the periphery of the bottom shell 100b and is used to abut against the groove wall of the desktop. In this embodiment, the friction plate 500 is connected to the periphery of the bottom shell 100b. When the power connection device is embedded in the groove of the desktop, the friction plate 500 abuts against the groove wall of the desktop to provide friction and prevent the power connection device from shaking or moving during subsequent use.

[0043] This application also provides a smart furniture, including the concealed power connection device 10 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0045] The aforementioned concealed power connection device 10 has a housing 100 mounted on a desktop, a fixed bracket 210 installed inside the housing 100, a movable bracket 220 movably connected to the fixed bracket 210, a power connection module 230 mounted on the movable bracket 220, and an elastic pressing component 300 mounted on the housing 100 and abutting against the movable bracket 220. When power is needed, pressing the elastic pressing component 300 compresses it, causing its working end to no longer abut against the movable bracket 220. At this time, the elastic damper 240 extends and exerts a force on the movable bracket 220, causing the movable bracket 220 to move and protrude from the surface of the housing 100, thereby connecting the power connection module 230 to the power connection device via a wire. When power is not needed, pressing the movable bracket 220 downwards hides the power connection module 230 inside the housing 100. Through the cooperation of these structures, the power connection device achieves a high degree of flatness with the desktop and is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0046] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this disclosure, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this disclosure, and these all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.
