Detailed Implementation

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0028] This utility model relates to a plugging and unplugging device, including a main body 100, a pusher 300 and a rotating member 400.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the main body 100 can be configured in, but is not limited to, a box-shaped or frame-shaped structure. The main body 100 has a insertion cavity 110, which extends through the main body 100. In the illustrated direction, the insertion cavity 110 extends through the main body 100 in a front-to-back direction. The insertion cavity 110 is for the power connector 200 to pass through. One end of the power connector 200 is inserted into the insertion cavity 110 from back to front. The insertion cavity 110 restricts the position of the power connector 200 within the cavity, limiting the front portion of the power connector 200 to extend forward beyond the cavity and preventing it from extending further; a portion of the power connector 200 remains within the cavity. A pusher 300 is mounted on the main body 100 and can move relative to the main body 100 and extend outside the main body 100. The extension / retraction direction of the pusher 300 is parallel to the insertion direction of the power connector 200. When the pusher 300 moves forward, its front end extends outside the main body 100. When the pusher 300 moves backward, it retracts and hides inside the main body 100. The rotating member 400 is hinged to the main body 100 and can rotate up and down relative to the main body 100. In this embodiment, when the rotating member 400 rotates downward, it pushes the pusher 300 forward, causing it to extend beyond the main body 100. When the rotating member 400 rotates upward, it moves away from the pusher 300, and the pusher 300 retracts back into the main body 100 under external force.

[0030] In actual use, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, one end of the power connector 200 is used to mate with the electrical socket 500 of an electrical appliance, such as an electric kettle or rice cooker. Before mateting the power connector 200 with the electrical socket 500 of the appliance, the end of the power connector 200 is first passed through the insertion cavity 110 from back to front. A portion of the front end of the power connector 200 extends outside the insertion cavity 110. Then, one end of the power connector 200 is inserted into the electrical socket 500 of the appliance. After the power connector 200 is fully inserted relative to the electrical socket 500, the front side of the main body 100 can abut against or be close to the electrical socket 500 of the appliance. At this time, the pusher 300 is in the retracted position inside the main body 100. The power connector 200 and the electrical socket 500 of the appliance are properly mated and plugged in for normal use. When it is necessary to unplug the power connector 200 from the electrical socket 500 of the electrical device, the user only needs to hold the main body 100 with one hand, and then use the thumb of the same hand to press the rotating part 400. The rotating part 400 flips downward, thereby pushing the pusher 300 forward out of the main body 100. The front end of the pusher 300 abuts against the outer wall of the electrical device's housing or the electrical plug. As the user continues to press the rotating part 400, the pusher 300 gradually extends forward, applying a force away from the electrical device to the main body 100. The main body 100 then drives the power connector 200 to gradually retract from the electrical socket 500 of the electrical device, thus unplugging the power connector 200 from the electrical socket 500. The unplugging process only requires one-handed operation and does not require shaking the power connector 200. The unplugging operation is simple, quick, and smooth, making it very convenient to use and protecting both the power connector 200 and the electrical socket 500 of the electrical device.

[0031] The insertion limiting structure of the plug cavity 110 for the power connector 200 can be achieved by providing a locking protrusion at another location on the plug cavity 110 or the main body 100. When a portion of the end of the power connector 200 passes through the plug cavity 110, the locking protrusion engages with the power connector 200, thereby limiting the insertion position of the power connector 200. Alternatively, after the power connector 200 is inserted into the plug cavity 110 and installed in place, it can be fixed to the main body 100 by methods such as gluing or welding. In one embodiment, as shown... Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the insertion cavity 110 extends through the main body 100 in a straight line. In the direction shown, the insertion cavity 110 extends through the main body 100 from front to back. The front opening of the insertion cavity 110 is defined as a limiting port 120. An extension 121 extending towards the center of the limiting port 120 is provided on the inner side of the limiting port 120. The shape of the limiting port 120 is adapted to the end shape of the power connector 200. A step 210 is provided on the end of the power connector 200. After the power connector 200 passes through the mounting cavity from back to front, the step 210 on the power connector 200 abuts against the extension 121, restricting the power connector 200 from moving further forward relative to the main body 100. During the process of pulling the power connector 200 out of the electrical device, as the main body 100 retracts, the extension 121 acts on the step 210 of the power connector 200, causing the power connector 200 to detach backward from the electrical device.

[0032] The pusher 300 on the main body 100 can be one or two, etc. In this embodiment, for example... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, pushers 300 are installed on the left and right sides of the main body 100, and the pushers 300 on both sides are installed symmetrically. When the rotating part 400 flips downward, the rotating part 400 can simultaneously push the pushers 300 on both sides, so that the pushers 300 on both sides move forward synchronously. The pushers 300 on both sides act on the electrical device synchronously with the same force, so that the two sides of the main body 100 move away from the electrical device with the same reaction force, ensuring the stability of the power connector 200 during the unplugging process.

[0033] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the main body 100 is also provided with a guide cavity 140. One pusher 300 is paired with one guide cavity 140. When two pushers 300 are provided, the guide cavities 140 can be symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the main body 100. The opening direction of the guide cavity 140 is consistent with the opening direction of the insertion cavity 110, that is, the guide cavity 140 is opened front and back. The pusher 300 is telescopically and movably installed on the guide cavity 140. The pusher 300 slides back and forth along the guide cavity 140. The front end of the pusher 300 can extend forward beyond the guide cavity 140. The pusher 300 can be set as a plate, column, etc., and the shape of the guide cavity 140 is adapted to the shape of the pusher 300. The movement of the pusher 300 is guided by the guide cavity 140 to prevent the pusher 300 from swaying during movement.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, a limiting groove 310 is formed on the pusher 300. The extending direction of the limiting groove 310 is consistent with the opening direction of the guide cavity 140. In the direction shown in the figure, the limiting groove 310 is formed in the front-to-back direction. A limiting block 141 is provided on the guide cavity 140, and the limiting block 141 slides in the limiting groove 310. The limiting block 141 may be a protrusion on the guide cavity 140. When the pusher 300 moves, the limiting block 141 slides relative to the limiting groove 310. The limiting block 141 can abut against the front end or rear end of the limiting groove 310, thereby limiting the forward and backward travel of the pusher 300 and preventing the pusher 300 from falling out of the guide cavity 140.

[0035] Furthermore, when the rotating member 400 rotates, at least a portion of the rotating member 400 can be inserted into the guide cavity 140, and the portion of the rotating member 400 inserted into the guide cavity 140 abuts against the pusher 300. A notch 142 is provided on the side wall of the guide cavity 140 near the rotating member 400. In this embodiment, when the rotating member 400 flips downwards, the lower part of the rotating member 400 inserts into the guide cavity 140 from back to front and abuts against the rear end of the pusher 300, thereby pushing the pusher 300 forward. The guide cavity 140 provides a certain guiding effect for the rotating member 400, ensuring that the rotating member 400 can stably abut against the pusher 300 and push the pusher 300, preventing misalignment after the interaction between the rotating member 400 and the pusher 300. The notch 142 can be provided on the inner or outer side of the guide cavity 140. Whether the rotating member 400 abuts against the pusher 300 can be directly observed through the notch 142.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating member 400 includes a handle portion 410 and a pushing portion 420. The handle portion 410 is arranged perpendicular to the moving direction of the pushing member 300, and the pushing portion 420 extends from the handle portion 410 perpendicularly to the handle portion 410. In this embodiment, the moving direction of the pushing member 300 is the front-to-back direction, and the handle portion 410 is arranged laterally. The pushing portion 420 extends downward from one side of the handle portion 410. The pushing portion 420 is provided with a rotating shaft 430, which can be directly formed on the pushing portion 420 or connected to the pushing portion 420 as an independent component. The rotating member 400 is rotatably connected to the main body 100 through the rotating shaft 430. When the rotating member 400 rotates upward, the pushing portion 420 moves upward away from the pushing member 300. When the rotating member 400 rotates downward, the pushing portion 420 abuts against the pushing member 300 and pushes the pushing member 300.

[0037] Among them, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, hinge positions 150 are symmetrically provided on the upper and lower sides of the main body 100. The hinge positions 150 are used for hinged connection with the rotating component 400. Users can hinge the rotating component 400 to the hinge position 150 on the upper side of the main body 100 or to the hinge position 150 on the lower side of the main body 100 according to actual usage requirements, thereby improving versatility. The hinge position 150 can be set as a hollow cylindrical structure for rotatable connection with the rotating shaft 430.
