Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power adapter technology, and in particular to a power adapter with cable management channels. Background Technology

[0002] A power adapter is a device that converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) suitable for electronic devices. It typically consists of a casing, transformer, rectifier circuit, filter circuit, and voltage regulator circuit. It provides stable and suitable voltage and current to various electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and tablets, ensuring their normal operation. Its input terminal connects to AC power, and its output terminal connects to the electronic device via various plugs or interfaces. During the conversion process, it adjusts and optimizes electrical characteristics to meet the specific needs of the device, and also provides overcurrent and overvoltage protection to prevent damage from abnormal current or voltage.

[0003] Patent CN210111667U discloses a power adapter with cable management channels, comprising an adapter body and a power cord. One end of the power cord is a connector fixedly connected to the adapter body, and the other end is connected to a plug. The adapter body's outer shell is surrounded by cable management channels, and the power cord is spirally wound within these channels. The portion of the power cord within the channels does not cross over the other end. The plug is fitted into a shaped slot on the adapter body's outer shell. This invention enables the power adapter's cables to be organized logically, thereby improving its aesthetics and facilitating management.

[0004] The inventors have discovered at least the following problems in the prior art:

[0005] While the existing power adapters with cable management channels can manage cables through these channels, the limited space around the cable management channels means that when using the cables, the cables need to be loosened slowly. Furthermore, the limited cable management channels also restrict the length of the cable that can be wound up.

[0006] In addition, the cable management channel is directly located on the outside of the power adapter, which means that only that power adapter can be used for cable management, thus limiting the range of compatible power adapters.

[0007] Therefore, the aforementioned technical problems need to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a power adapter with a cable management channel to solve the problems of inconvenience when the cable is loose, limited length for storing connecting cables, and limited range of applicable power adapters in the prior art.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:

[0010] A power adapter with cable management channels includes an adapter body and a cable management plate. The cable management plate is located on the periphery of the adapter body. Limiting cylinders are connected to both sides of the adapter body by adhesive bonding. A sleeve is provided on the periphery of the limiting cylinders on the cable management plate. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sleeve. The rotating shaft is inserted into the inner side of the limiting cylinder. A linkage cylinder is fixedly connected to the inside of the sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the adapter body is provided with a connecting wire for transmitting power and supplying power to external devices, and the other end of the connecting wire is provided with a connector.

[0012] Preferably, the cable management plate has a cable management groove on its outer periphery, and a locking groove 1 and a locking groove 2 are respectively opened on the upper and lower sides of the cable management groove. The groove depth of the locking groove 1 and the locking groove 2 is 5 mm, and the opening direction of the locking groove 1 and the locking groove 2 is perpendicular to the groove surface of the cable management groove, so as to better lock the connecting wire.

[0013] Preferably, the first and second snap-fit ​​slots are evenly arranged and staggered from each other.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting cylinder and the linkage cylinder are respectively provided with a first cutting surface and a second cutting surface on the side where they are close to each other, and the first cutting surface and the second cutting surface cooperate with each other.

[0015] Preferably, the linkage sleeve is fitted around the outer periphery of the rotating shaft.

[0016] Preferably, the connecting wires sequentially surround the outer periphery of the sleeve, and the connecting wires are located inside the cable management groove.

[0017] Preferably, the top cross-section of the cable management plate is U-shaped.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] I. This utility model, through the cooperation of the cable management plate, the limiting cylinder and the linkage cylinder, allows the cable to be completely dispersed at once when it is necessary to loosen the connecting cable. This not only makes it more convenient and faster to loosen the connecting cable, but also allows the connecting cable to be extended and stored by the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0020] II. This utility model, through the cooperation of the cable management plate, the limiting cylinder and the linkage cylinder, and the fact that the limiting cylinder is connected to both sides of the adapter body by adhesive, allows the cable management plate to be adapted to different adapter bodies of the same specification. Therefore, it not only improves the applicability of the cable management plate, but also the gap formed between the rotated cable management plate and the adapter body helps the heat generated by the adapter during use to dissipate more easily, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of the adapter.

[0031] Please refer to the following. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this utility model, the directions shown in the accompanying drawings shall prevail, such as front and back. Figure 1 For the sake of accuracy, the specific details should be as follows: Figure 1 The left side is the front. Figure 1 The right side is the rear; at the same time, as Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal direction is roughly defined as left and right, and the vertical direction is defined as up and down. If a specific orientation changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0033] This utility model provides a power adapter with cable management channels, including an adapter body 1 and a cable management plate 4. The cable management plate 4 is located on the periphery of the adapter body 1. Limiting cylinders 5 are connected to both sides of the adapter body 1 by adhesive bonding. A sleeve 44 is provided on the periphery of the limiting cylinder 5 on the cable management plate 4. A rotating shaft 45 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sleeve 44. The rotating shaft 45 is inserted into the inner side of the limiting cylinder 5. A linkage cylinder 6 is fixedly connected inside the sleeve 44.

[0034] The sleeve 44 and the cable management plate 4 are integrated and both are made of plastic, so they have a certain degree of toughness, allowing the two ends of the U-shaped cable management plate 4 to spread outward a certain distance, so that there is a certain gap between it and the outer periphery of the adapter body 1.

[0035] In a further embodiment, one end of the adapter body 1 is provided with a connecting line 2, and the other end of the connecting line 2 is provided with a plug 3. The connecting line 2 is arranged around the periphery of the sleeve 44 in sequence, and is used to transmit power to supply power to external devices.

[0036] In this embodiment, the adapter body 1 is a power adapter in the prior art, and the connecting wire 2 and the plug 3 are its connecting wires. The bottom of the adapter body 1 has a plug for plugging into the power strip and supplying power to external devices through 2.

[0037] In a further embodiment, a cable management groove 41 is provided on the periphery of the cable management plate 4. A first snap-fit ​​groove 42 and a second snap-fit ​​groove 43 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the cable management groove 41. The groove depth of the first snap-fit ​​groove 42 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 43 is 5 mm, and the opening direction of the first snap-fit ​​groove 42 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 43 is perpendicular to the groove surface of the cable management groove 41, so as to better hold the connecting wire 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​groove 42 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 43 are only present on both sides of the cable management groove 41, and not at the end of the cable management groove 41. Therefore, the overly long connecting wire 2 can be horizontally wrapped around the inside of the cable management groove 41 and then continue to be wrapped around the cable management plate 4 in the vertical direction.

[0039] In a further embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​groove 42 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 43 are evenly arranged and staggered from each other.

[0040] In this embodiment, the staggered distribution of the first snap-fit ​​groove 42 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 43 allows the connecting wire 2 to be wound more orderly in the vertical direction.

[0041] In a further embodiment, the limiting cylinder 5 and the linkage cylinder 6 are respectively provided with a first cutting surface 51 and a second cutting surface 61 on the side where they are close to each other, and the first cutting surface 51 and the second cutting surface 61 cooperate with each other.

[0042] In this embodiment, the limiting cylinder 5 and the linkage cylinder 6 are exactly the same, but are centrally symmetrical. When the cable management plate 4 is located on the periphery of the adapter body 1, the two surfaces fit together, but when the cable management plate 4 is rotated, the two surfaces will be symmetrical.

[0043] In a further embodiment, the linkage cylinder 6 is sleeved around the rotating shaft 45.

[0044] In this embodiment, the linkage cylinder 6, the rotating shaft 45, the sleeve 44 and the cable management plate 4 are an integral structure. The linkage cylinder 6 is fixed to the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 45 and the inner wall of the sleeve 44 by adhesive bonding. When rotating, they are all centered on the rotating shaft 45. As a result, after rotation, the second sectional surface 61 and the first sectional surface 51 are symmetrical. This causes one end of the limiting cylinder 5 to expand the inner side of the cable management plate 4 outward.

[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0046] When it is necessary to reel in the connecting cable 2, the cable 2 can be passed over the right sleeve 44 and placed inside the cable management groove 41, then passed over the left sleeve 44 and looped back to the right. This cycle can be repeated to store the connecting cable 2. After storage, the connecting cable 2 can be secured inside the first locking groove 42 according to its length. If the connecting cable 2 is too long, it can be looped again along the direction of the first locking groove 42 and the second locking groove 43. This allows for the storage of connecting cables of different lengths. 2. For storage, if the length of the connecting wire 2 does not need to be clamped in the first clamping slot 42 and the second clamping slot 43, and it is necessary to loosen the connecting wire 2, the cable management plate 4 can be rotated directly so that the entire cable management plate 4 rotates 180 degrees around the pivot 45, and the end of the connecting wire 2 is pried open so that it is no longer clamped inside the first clamping slot 42 or the second clamping slot 43. Then, the connecting wire 2 outside the left sleeve 44 is pried open. At this time, the connecting wire 2 will be completely spread out at once, making it more convenient and quick to loosen the wire.

[0047] During the process of rotating the cable management board 4 180 degrees around the pivot 45, since the pivot 45 is inserted into the inner side of the limiting cylinder 5, and the limiting cylinder 5 is glued and fixed to both sides of the adapter body 1, and the first cut surface 51 and the second cut surface 61 fit together, the rotation will cause both ends of the entire cable management board 4 to expand outward, thereby allowing the rotated cable management board 4 to have a gap with the outer periphery of the adapter body 1, so that the heat generated by the adapter body 1 during use can be more easily dissipated.

[0048] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
