Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power strip technology, specifically referring to a power strip with a push-button quick-release plug. Background Technology

[0002] A power strip, also known as a multi-outlet socket with a cord, is a power strip or extension cord. It's technically called a power cord extension unit or extension socket. Power strips are generally made of materials such as bakelite, ceramic, and plastic. They mainly consist of socket heads, a power cord, a fuse, and the strip itself. A power strip is a multi-outlet socket with a power cord and plug that can be moved around. It can connect more than one power plug, saving both space and wiring.

[0003] Existing power strips are often designed to be relatively tight to prevent them from being pulled or moved during use. To remove the plug from the power strip, the usual practice is to hold the plug with one hand and press down on the power strip with the other. Some consumers also like to unplug the plug with one hand. This can easily lead to serious safety hazards, as it can easily cause electric shock if the hand touches the plug. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is:

[0005] Existing power strips require one hand to hold the power strip and the other hand to hold the plug in order to safely unplug them, which is quite dangerous to plug and unplug with one hand.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is: a power strip with a button-type quick-release plug, including a socket body, the socket body including an upper cover and a lower cover that are fixed together by interlocking bolts, and multiple sets of inner support components are fixed on the upper cover;

[0007] The outer side of the inner support assembly is provided with a quick separation mechanism assembly, which extends through the upper cover.

[0008] Furthermore, the quick separation mechanism assembly includes component bottom covers that are snapped onto both sides of the inner support component, transmission components that are movably mounted on the two sets of component bottom covers, and buttons that connect the two transmission components. The bottom sides of the buttons are fitted with the component bottom covers, and the top of the buttons extends through the upper cover. A second spring is installed at the bottom of the buttons.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft, which is L-shaped. One end of the rotating shaft has a beveled surface that is in close contact with the beveled surface at the bottom of the button. A positioning pin is provided at the corner of the rotating shaft, which is rotatably mounted on the inner support assembly. The end of the rotating shaft away from the button is hinged to a connecting rod via a pin and a slot. The end of the connecting rod away from the rotating shaft has a spring hole for installing a spring. The other end of the spring abuts against the inner wall of the bottom cover of the assembly. The connecting rod lies horizontally inside the bottom cover of the assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the transmission assembly also includes an ejector plate 1 installed on the outside of the connecting rod, and a spring 3 is provided on the lower side of the ejector plate. The spring 3 is located between the ejector plate 1 and the bottom cover of the assembly. The ejector plate 1 is fitted to the inner support assembly and passes through the inner support assembly.

[0011] Meanwhile, the transmission assembly also includes a second ejector plate installed on the outside of the connecting rod. A fourth spring is provided on the lower side of the second ejector plate. The fourth spring is located between the second ejector plate and the bottom cover of the assembly. The second ejector plate is fitted to the inner support assembly and passes through the inner support assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting rod is provided with a latch, and the ejector plate one and ejector plate two are respectively provided with grooved ribs.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model by adopting the above structure are as follows:

[0014] There is a button on the outside. When consumers need to remove the plug from the power strip, they only need to press this button. The ejection mechanism inside the power strip will quickly separate the plug from the socket, thus cutting off the power. Consumers can then simply remove the plug without any safety risks, reducing the occurrence of safety accidents. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The accompanying drawings are provided to further understand the present invention and form part of the specification. They are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention proposes a power strip with a button-type quick-release plug, including a socket body 2. The socket body 2 includes an upper cover 3 and a lower cover 6 that are interlocked and fixed together. Multiple sets of inner support components 4 are fixed on the upper cover 3. A quick-release mechanism component 5 is provided on the outer side of the inner support component 4, and the quick-release mechanism component 5 is disposed through the upper cover 3.

[0024] When in use, inserting plug 1 into inner tray assembly 4 will turn on the power. At the same time, squeezing and pressing quick separation mechanism assembly 5 will push plug 1 out.

[0025] The quick separation mechanism component 5 includes component bottom covers 11 that are snapped onto both sides of the inner support component 4, transmission components that are movably mounted on the two sets of component bottom covers 11, and a button 17 that connects the two transmission components. The bottom sides of the button 17 are attached to the component bottom cover 11, and the top of the button 17 is set through the upper cover 3. A spring 16 is installed at the bottom of the button 17.

[0026] The transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft 13, which is L-shaped. One end of the rotating shaft 13 has a beveled surface 15, which is closely attached to the beveled surface at the bottom of the button 17. A positioning pin 14 is provided at the corner of the rotating shaft 13, which is rotatably mounted on the inner support assembly 4. The end of the rotating shaft 13 away from the button 17 is hinged to the connecting rod 8 through a pin 12 and a slot 10. The end of the connecting rod 8 away from the rotating shaft 13 has a spring hole 19 for installing a spring 7. The other end of the spring 7 is set against the inner wall of the assembly bottom cover 11. The connecting rod 8 is horizontally mounted inside the assembly bottom cover 11. Therefore, when the button 17 is pressed, the rotating shaft 13 will push the connecting rod 8 toward the spring 7 under the action of the positioning pin 14, which compresses the beveled surface 15.

[0027] The transmission assembly also includes an ejector plate 21 installed on the outside of the connecting rod 8. A spring 18 is provided on the lower side of the ejector plate 21. The spring 18 is located between the ejector plate 21 and the bottom cover 11 of the assembly. The ejector plate 21 is fitted to and passes through the inner support assembly 4. The transmission assembly also includes an ejector plate 23 installed on the outside of the connecting rod 8. A spring 20 is provided on the lower side of the ejector plate 23. The spring 20 is located between the ejector plate 23 and the bottom cover 11 of the assembly. The ejector plate 23 is fitted to and passes through the inner support assembly 4.

[0028] To limit the movement of ejector plates 21 and 23, the connecting rod 8 is equipped with a latch 9, and ejector plates 21 and 23 are respectively equipped with grooves 22. Therefore, when the socket is inserted into the inner support assembly 4, ejector plates 23 and 21 are pressed downwards by the socket. At this time, springs 3 and 4 are compressed, and the grooves 22 slide into the latch 9. Under the action of spring 7, the latch 9 rebounds and hooks the groove 22. At this time, ejector plates 23 and 21 will not move upwards. When it is necessary to pull them out, press button 17. Button 17 presses the chamfered surfaces 15 on both sides, and the rotating shaft 13 rotates around the positioning pin 14, pushing the connecting rod 8 and squeezing spring 7. At this time, the latch 9 leaves the groove 22, and under the action of springs 3 and 4, ejector plates 21 and 23 are pushed out, thereby pushing out the socket.

[0029] Implementation path of the technical solution:

[0030] The pivot rod 13 and the connecting rod 8 are assembled together by the pin 12 and the spring 1 7 is installed in the spring hole 19; the spring 2 16 is installed in the button 17; the spring 4 20 is installed in the ejector plate 1 21; the inner support assembly 4 is installed in the upper cover 3 and the spring 4 20 is installed in the ejector plate 1 21 and installed in the ejector plate hole of the upper cover 3. The pivot rod 13 and the connecting rod 8 are assembled together by the pin 12 and the spring 1 7 is installed in the spring hole 19. The assembly is installed in the inner support assembly 4. The spring 2 16 is installed in the button 17 and installed in the button hole of the upper cover 3. The bottom cover 11 of the assembly is fastened to the upper cover 3. Finally, the lower cover 6 is screwed onto the upper cover 3 to form a button-type quick-release plug strip.

[0031] The push-button quick-release plug strip has two ejector plates, 21 and 23, protruding from the upper surface of the cover 3. When the plug 1 is inserted into the socket, it will push the push-button plates 21 and 23 down. At this time, the groove ribs 22 of the push-button plates 21 and 23 are guided to the latch 9 of the connecting rod 8 through their own inclined surfaces. At this time, the springs 18 and 20 are compressed. Because the groove ribs 22 are locked into the latch 9, the push-button plates 21 and 23 are locked.

[0032] However, when the consumer presses button 17, the button moves downward, and the inclined surface in button 17 presses against the beveled surface 15. The rotating shaft 13 rotates around the positioning pin 14 under the action of the positioning pin 14. At this time, the connecting rod 8 moves and compresses the spring 7 through the rotation of the pin 12 under the action of the rotating shaft 13. At this time, the latch 9 exits the limit on the groove rib 22. Under the spring force of spring 3 18 and spring 4 20, the ejector plate 1 21 and ejector plate 2 23 quickly push the plug 1, thereby realizing the quick separation of the plug from the power strip. At this time, the consumer only needs to remove the plug, and there is no risk of electric shock.
