Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging socket technology, specifically a column-type charging socket. Background Technology

[0002] A power strip is a multi-outlet socket with a cord, also known as a power strip or extension cord. With the increasing number of electronic devices, the demand for power strips with multiple outlets is growing both at home and in the office. However, the increased number of outlets often leads to a larger size of the power strip, resulting in it taking up a lot of space and being difficult to place.

[0003] To address this, we designed a column-type charging socket, changing the spatial structure of the traditional panel power strip by designing it as a column structure, which extends the socket volume upwards. We also eliminated the single-hole design and upgraded it to a slotted design with alternating live and neutral wires. This effectively solves the problem of traditional power strips affecting the floor space occupied by their capacity. The structure is simple and novel, the design is scientific and reasonable, and it is highly practical. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a column-type charging socket to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A column-type charging socket includes a base, an inner sleeve fixedly mounted on the base, a plurality of charging slots evenly distributed on the side wall of the inner sleeve, an even number of charging slots, an outer separating ring fixedly mounted between two adjacent charging slots, the outer separating ring being fitted around the outside of the inner sleeve, a top seat fixedly mounted on the top of the inner sleeve, a plurality of conductive elements corresponding to the charging slots being disposed inside the inner sleeve, two adjacent conductive elements being respectively connected to a live wire and a neutral wire, and a power cord being disposed on the base to guide the live wire and the neutral wire, with a plug connected to the end of the power cord.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: the conductive component includes multiple annular conductive plates, a fixing post for supporting the conductive plates is fixedly provided on the inner side of the inner sleeve, and a conductive clip corresponding to the charging socket is fixedly provided on the outer side of the conductive plate, and the conductive plate is connected to the live wire or neutral wire.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: a power switch is provided on the top base, and the power switch is connected to the live wire.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] This column-type charging socket features a scientific and reasonable design. By adopting a columnar structure, it changes the traditional panel design of power strips, allowing the socket to extend upwards instead of along the ground. This solves the problem of large floor space and difficult placement of current multi-socket power strips. At the same time, it changes the traditional single-point hole design to a charging slot design, effectively increasing the number of chargers that can be plugged in.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0017] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a column-type charging socket, including a base 1, an inner sleeve 2 fixedly mounted on the base 1, and a plurality of charging slots 4 evenly distributed on the side wall of the inner sleeve 2. There is an even number of charging slots 4. An outer separating ring 3 is fixedly mounted between two adjacent charging slots 4, and the outer separating ring 3 is fitted onto the outside of the inner sleeve 2. The outer separating ring 3 separates adjacent charging slots 4, facilitating the user's insertion of the inflator into the charging slot 4; at the same time, it also prevents the user from directly touching the charging slots 4 with their hands, improving safety.

[0018] A top seat 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner sleeve 2. Multiple conductive elements corresponding to the charging socket 4 are installed inside the inner sleeve 2. Adjacent conductive elements are connected to the live wire and neutral wire, respectively. A power cord 5 is installed on the base 1 to guide the live and neutral wires, and a plug 6 is connected to the end of the power cord 5. It should be noted that the shape and structure of the conductive elements and the layout of the live and neutral wires, based on the design of the charging socket 4, should be conventional arrangements familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferably, in this application, combined with... Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the conductive component includes multiple annular conductive plates 9. To facilitate the installation of the annular conductive plates 9, a fixing post 11 for supporting the conductive plates 9 is fixedly installed inside the inner sleeve 2. A conductive clip 10 corresponding to the charging slot 4 is fixedly installed outside the conductive plates 9. The conductive plates 9 are connected to the live wire or neutral wire. When charging, the user inserts the two conductive clips of the charger into two adjacent charging slots 4 respectively. After passing through the charging slots 4, the conductive clips are inserted into the corresponding conductive clips 10, thus providing power to the charger.

[0019] It should be noted that the fixing post 11 is merely a conventional method for supporting the conductive plate 9. As is common knowledge familiar to those skilled in the art, a clip for mounting and engaging the conductive plate 9 can also be integrally machined within the inner sleeve 2 during processing. This application will not elaborate on the limitations. The conductive plate 9 and the conductive clip 10 are preferably made of copper, and the fixing post 11 is preferably made of plastic.

[0020] Meanwhile, as is a standard practice familiar to those skilled in the art, in order to ensure the safety of the charging socket during use, a ground wire connected to the socket housing should also be provided in the power cord 5 so that the electricity can be conducted to the ground in time in case of leakage. This is common knowledge and will not be elaborated further.

[0021] In addition, to further facilitate the power on / off of the socket, such as Figure 2 As shown, an energizing switch 8 is provided on the top base 7. The energizing switch 8 is connected to the live wire. It should be noted that the structure of the energizing switch 8 and the principle of its connection with the live wire are conventional and common designs familiar to those skilled in the art. The energizing switch 8 can be obtained directly through custom purchase, and this application will not elaborate on the limitation.

[0022] It should be noted that the socket described in this application is applicable to chargers with dual conductive prongs, but not to chargers with three conductive prongs. According to conventional arrangements familiar to those skilled in the art, a corresponding three-hole socket can also be opened on the side wall of the top mount 7 to match chargers with three conductive prongs. The design principle of the internal conductive components is the same as the layout principle of the internal conductive components of existing power strips, and this application will not elaborate further.

[0023] It should be noted that this application only changes the shape and structure of the traditional socket. The internal circuit layout principle is common knowledge familiar to those skilled in the art. In actual production and processing, those skilled in the art can make reasonable conventional changes to the shape of the internal conductive parts and the wiring according to the circuit layout principle to make it more in line with production requirements.

[0024] In actual use, plug 6 into the power socket, press the power switch 8 to power the socket, and insert the two conductive prongs of the charger that needs power into the two adjacent charging slots 4.

[0025] It should be noted that, as is common knowledge familiar to those skilled in the art, the spacing between adjacent charging slots 4 should conform to the specifications of current dual-conductive plug-in chargers. At the same time, since the charging slots 4 are continuous open slot designs, in order to prevent the charger from sliding along the charging slots 4 after being inserted, corresponding limiting protrusions can be provided on the surface of the inner sleeve 2 or the surface of the outer separating ring 3. This is a common setting that those skilled in the art can conceive of, and this application will not elaborate on the limitation.

[0026] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only specific and clear descriptions of the technical solutions and features of this application. Solutions or features that are prior art or common knowledge to those skilled in the art will not be described in detail in the above embodiments.

[0027] Furthermore, the technical solutions of this application are not limited to the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
