[0002] Modular power outlets are power outlets that divide product functions into multiple independent modules, allowing the product to be combined and expanded according to specific needs. They not only provide power supply but also support data transmission, network connectivity, and other functions. The design philosophy is to simplify the connection process of electronic devices, improve efficiency, and save space.
[0003] With the development and updating of technology and the application of various electrical products, in the smart home environment, a single socket needs to realize multiple functions such as lighting control, environmental sensors, and audio playback. The modular design of the socket can meet these needs. However, although the existing modular sockets have many types, they actually have few interfaces. When there are not enough interfaces for the plugs to use, they cannot be further expanded, which lacks practicality. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a modular power socket with expandable interfaces to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular power socket with an expandable interface to solve the problems mentioned in the background. This utility model has a reasonable structure and is easy to operate. It can not only use modular socket combinations to power various functional electrical products, but also further expand the socket interface according to the actual number of electrical plugs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a modular power socket with an expandable interface, comprising a modular socket panel, a USB modular socket, a 10A modular socket, a 16A modular socket, an expansion socket, an expansion interface, a power switch, fixing bolts, mounting slots, a locking rod, a positioning rod, a docking cylinder, a locking bracket, a locking groove, an inner insertion slot, a positioning cylinder, fixing feet, a USB interface, and a power plug. The modular socket panel is fixed at all four corners by fixing bolts, and two expansion interfaces are provided on the top surface of the modular socket panel. Multiple mounting slots are formed within the modular socket panel, wherein the USB modular socket, the 10A modular socket, and the 16A modular socket are all installed within the mounting slots. Each of the three modular sockets has a locking bracket on both the top and bottom sides, with a locking slot inside the bracket. The USB, 10A, and 16A modular sockets also have inner insertion slots on the left and right sides, with positioning cylinders mounted on these slots. The disconnect power switch is located above the corresponding mounting slots of the USB, 10A, and 16A modular sockets. The USB modular socket has two USB ports on its surface, with fixed feet below the USB ports. The 10A and 16A modular sockets have 10A and 16A type sockets respectively. The locking rod is located at both the top and bottom of the mounting slot, and positioning rods are connected to the left and right sides of the mounting slot. A docking cylinder is mounted on the front end of each positioning rod.
[0006] Furthermore, the size of the docking cylinder on the positioning rod is adapted to the inner diameter of the positioning cylinder, and the docking cylinder is provided with a threaded groove.
[0007] Furthermore, the fixed feet on the surface of the USB module socket are used to mount the legs of the mobile phone holder.
[0008] Furthermore, the connection between the positioning cylinder and the docking cylinder is also made of fixing bolts.
[0009] Furthermore, the size of the slots at the top and bottom of the three module sockets—the USB module socket, the 10A module socket, and the 16A module socket—is adapted to the size of the locking rod.
[0010] Furthermore, the expansion socket is connected to the expansion interface via a power connector at the bottom.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a modular power socket with an expandable interface. Because it adds an expansion socket, an expansion interface, fixing bolts, a locking rod, a positioning rod, a docking cylinder, a locking frame, a locking groove, and a positioning cylinder, the locking groove on the locking frame and the locking rod are used to tightly fit and limit the position, which helps to stabilize the modular socket during installation. The fixing bolts further reinforce the docking cylinder inserted in the positioning cylinder, which facilitates personnel disassembly and assembly while ensuring the fixation of the modular socket.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a modular power socket with an expandable interface, including a modular socket panel 1, a USB modular socket 2, a 10A modular socket 3, a 16A modular socket 4, an expansion socket 5, an expansion interface 6, a power switch 7, fixing bolts 8, mounting slots 9, a locking rod 10, a positioning rod 11, a connecting cylinder 12, a locking bracket 13, a locking groove 14, an inner insertion groove 15, a positioning cylinder 16, a fixing foot 17, a USB interface 18, and a power plug 19. The four corners of the modular socket panel 1 are fixed by fixing bolts 8, and two expansion interfaces 6 are provided on the top surface of the modular socket panel 1. Multiple mounting slots 9 are formed inside the modular socket panel 1, wherein the USB modular socket 2, the 10A modular socket 3, and the 16A modular socket 4 are all installed in the mounting slots 9. Each module socket has a locking bracket 13 on both the top and bottom sides, and the inner side of the locking bracket 13 is a slot 14. The USB module socket 2, 10A module socket 3 and 16A module socket 4 also have an inner insertion slot 15 on the left and right sides, and a positioning cylinder 16 is installed on the inner insertion slot 15. The power switch 7 is set above the corresponding mounting slot 9 of the USB module socket 2, 10A module socket 3 and 16A module socket 4. The surface of the USB module socket 2 has two USB interfaces 18, and a fixed support foot 17 is arranged below the USB interfaces 18 on the surface of the USB module socket 2. The 10A module socket 3 and 16A module socket 4 are provided with 10A and 16A type plug holes respectively. The locking rod 10 is set at both the top and bottom ends inside the mounting slot 9, and a positioning rod 11 is connected to the left and right sides inside the mounting slot 9. A docking cylinder 12 is installed on the front end of the positioning rod 11.
[0020] As the first embodiment of this utility model: the expansion socket 5 is inserted into the expansion interface 6 via the bottom power plug 19. This design, with the expansion interface 6 on the module socket panel 1, facilitates the direct connection and installation of the expansion socket 5 via the power plug 19, thus expanding and supplementing the socket interface. The size of the slots 14 at the top and bottom of the three module sockets—USB module socket 2, 10A module socket 3, and 16A module socket 4—matches the size of the locking rod 10. This design utilizes the slots 14 on the locking bracket 13 to tightly fit and limit the locking of the locking rod 10. To aid in the stability of the modular socket during installation, the size of the mating cylinder 12 on the positioning rod 11 is matched with the inner diameter of the positioning cylinder 16, and the mating cylinder 12 is provided with a threaded groove. The connection between the positioning cylinder 16 and the mating cylinder 12 is also made of fixing bolts 8. This design further reinforces the mating cylinder 12 inserted into the positioning cylinder 16 by fixing bolts 8, which facilitates disassembly and assembly while ensuring the fixation of the modular socket. The fixing feet 17 on the surface of the USB modular socket 2 are used to install the legs of the mobile phone holder. This design helps to enrich the functionality of the modular socket.
[0021] As a second embodiment of this utility model: According to the specifications, the neutral wire interface, live wire interface, and ground wire interface in the module socket panel 1 are connected to the neutral wire, live wire, and ground wire respectively. Then, the USB module socket 2, 10A module socket 3, and 16A module socket 4 are installed into the mounting slot 9 in the module socket panel 1 in sequence. Similarly, the corresponding connecting wires are installed first. Then, the docking cylinder 12 at the front end of the positioning rod 11 is inserted into the positioning cylinder 16. At this time, the slots 14 in the upper and lower locking brackets 13 of the module socket will lock the locking rod 10. Then, the fixing bolts 8 are used to tighten the docking cylinder 12 to ensure that the docking cylinder 12 will not come off from the positioning cylinder 16. In this way, the module socket is installed in the module socket panel 1. Users can plug in various electrical products according to the specifications. The USB interface 18 can also power electronic products such as computers and mobile phones. If the interfaces on the module socket are insufficient or inconvenient, the expansion socket 5 can be inserted into the expansion interface 6 through the power plug 19 to expand the module socket panel 1 with additional power interfaces.
