Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of socket technology, and in particular to a multifunctional socket. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, electricity has become an indispensable energy source in people's daily lives, and sockets, as key electrical components connecting electrical appliances to the power source, play a crucial role. With the increasing number and variety of household appliances, the demand for sockets is also growing. Sockets use insulated shells, usually made of hard plastic, to prevent users from directly contacting live metal parts. The shape of socket holes is also gradually becoming standardized to accommodate different types of appliance plugs. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN202134744U discloses a socket including a socket shell and socket electrodes installed inside the socket shell. The socket shell has corresponding holes for the socket electrodes. A power circuit board is also installed inside the socket shell, and the power circuit board includes an AC / DC module, a step-down circuit, a voltage regulator circuit, and at least one USB socket. The AC / DC module, step-down circuit, voltage regulator circuit, and USB socket are connected sequentially. This prior art adds at least one USB socket, allowing direct insertion of a USB cable to charge devices without the need for an additional charger, saving socket space and improving user efficiency. However, such multi-functional sockets can easily damage electrical equipment due to excessive current, and also pose serious safety hazards, endangering users' lives. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safe and reliable multi-functional socket. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a multi-functional socket that further optimizes the structural design of the socket, so as to not only meet the user's charging needs for a variety of electrical appliances, but also effectively protect the safety of the equipment and the user.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a multi-functional socket, including a housing and a panel mounted on the housing, with a mounting cavity formed between the housing and the panel. The panel is provided with a German-style socket and a Type-C interface. A first mounting base and a second mounting base are installed in the mounting cavity. The first mounting base is connected to the German-style socket, and the second mounting base is connected to the Type-C interface. An overload protector is also installed in the mounting cavity. The overload protector is electrically connected to both the first and second mounting bases, and the overload protector is provided with a switch button.

[0005] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this application are as follows: the socket consists of a shell and a panel, and the split structure facilitates the installation and maintenance of internal components. The panel is equipped with a German-Italian socket, which conforms to German and Italian electrical standards and can meet the plug requirements of specific regions or specific electrical appliances. The panel is also equipped with a TYPE-C interface, which features fast transmission speed and supports reversible insertion. The first mounting bracket is specifically used to connect the German-Italian socket, and the second mounting bracket is used to connect the TYPE-C interface, ensuring the stability and electrical performance of the German-Italian socket and the TYPE-C interface, and realizing efficient charging and data transmission functions. This application adds an overload protector. Regardless of whether the electrical appliance is connected through the German-Italian socket or the TYPE-C interface, when the current exceeds the rated value, the overload protector can cut off the power supply in time to prevent equipment damage and fire accidents. Users can restore the power supply by manually operating the switch button, which is convenient for users to restore normal use after troubleshooting. It can not only meet the charging needs of users for various electrical appliances, but also effectively protect the safety of equipment and users.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, a connecting seat is mounted on the housing, and a retractable clamping member is movably mounted on the connecting seat. A clamping opening is formed between the clamping member and the bottom of the connecting seat, and the clamping opening is used to accommodate and clamp the supporting surface. In this application, the connecting seat serves as a support and connection, providing a basis for the installation and movement of the clamping member. The clamping member can extend and retract on the connecting seat, allowing the size of the clamping opening to be adjusted as needed. When a thicker supporting surface needs to be clamped, the clamping member can extend; when a thinner supporting surface needs to be clamped, the clamping member can shorten. By clamping the supporting surface, the clamping opening allows the socket to be securely fixed in the corresponding position, preventing displacement or detachment due to external forces. The supporting surface refers to a desktop or other flat surface.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the clamping member has an L-shaped structure, and the clamping member is connected to the connecting seat by a screw. The screw rotates to drive the clamping member to extend or retract. In this application, the L-shaped clamping member typically consists of two mutually perpendicular parts: one part is used to connect to the connecting seat, and the other part is used to form a clamping opening, providing more stable support. The extension or retraction of the clamping member is achieved by rotating the screw. The user can manually rotate the screw, which drives the clamping member to move along the axial direction of the screw, thereby adjusting the size of the clamping opening. Furthermore, the clamping member is fixed to the connecting seat by the screw, preventing the clamping member from detaching from the connecting seat during use, thus making it more reliable.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the housing is mounted at an angle on the connector so that the panel is tilted towards the front. In this application, the tilted mounting of the housing results in a specific tilt angle of the panel relative to the supporting surface. The design of the panel tilting towards the front makes it more convenient for users to plug and unplug plugs or connecting cables, and allows users to more clearly see the usage status of the sockets or interfaces, improving the convenience and comfort of use.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, an anti-slip pad is installed on the bottom of the connector. In this application, the anti-slip pad effectively prevents the connector from sliding on the support surface by increasing friction, reducing the displacement of the connector on the support surface, improving the stability and safety of the socket, and avoiding wire pulling or equipment damage caused by the socket falling off.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the panel is provided with a TYPE-A interface, which is connected to a second mounting base. In this application, the TYPE-A interface is a widely used USB interface standard, characterized by strong compatibility and stable transmission, enabling the socket to meet the charging and data transmission needs of various electronic devices.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the TYPE-C interface and the TYPE-A interface are arranged in parallel. In this application, the parallel arrangement design makes the TYPE-C interface and the TYPE-A interface spatially independent, avoiding mutual interference between the two interfaces, while maintaining a certain degree of compactness. This achieves an efficient layout within a limited space, allowing the overall size of the socket to be made smaller.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, multiple German-style and Type-C interfaces are provided. In this application, multiple German-style sockets allow the socket to simultaneously meet the power input needs of multiple German-style electrical devices, and multiple Type-C interfaces allow the socket to simultaneously meet the charging and data transmission needs of multiple modern electronic devices. This not only improves the versatility of the socket but also enhances its practicality.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the panel is provided with a mounting opening adapted to a switch button, and the switch button protrudes from the panel through the mounting opening. In this application, the mounting opening on the panel is provided for mounting the switch button, ensuring that the switch button can be stably mounted on the panel and will not loosen or shift during operation. The position design of the mounting opening makes the switch button easy for the user to operate.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, a protective door is installed on the first mounting base. In this application, the protective door directly protects the socket, preventing foreign objects from entering or accidental operation, ensuring the socket is safe when not in use, reducing the risk of accidental operation, and improving the safety and reliability of the socket.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0023] A multi-functional socket, as shown in Embodiment 1 Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown: The socket includes a housing 1 and a panel 2 mounted on the housing 1, with a mounting cavity formed between the housing 1 and the panel 2. The panel 2 has a German / Italian plug 21 and a Type-C interface 22. A first mounting base 3 and a second mounting base 4 are installed within the mounting cavity. The first mounting base 3 is connected to the German / Italian plug 21, and the second mounting base 4 is connected to the Type-C interface 22. An overload protector 5 is also installed within the mounting cavity, electrically connected to both the first mounting base 3 and the second mounting base 4. The overload protector 5 has a switch button 51. The socket consists of the housing 1 and the panel 2, a split structure that facilitates the installation and maintenance of internal components. The panel 2 has a German / Italian plug 21, which conforms to German and Italian electrical standards and can meet the plug requirements of specific regions or specific electrical appliances. The panel 2 also has a Type-C interface 22. The Type-C interface 22 features high transmission speed and reversible insertion. The first mounting bracket 3 is specifically designed to connect to the TE-I socket 21, and the second mounting bracket 4 is designed to connect to the Type-C interface 22. This ensures the stability and electrical performance of the TE-I socket 21 and the Type-C interface 22, enabling efficient charging and data transmission. An overload protector 5 is added to this application. Regardless of whether the electrical equipment is connected through the TE-I socket 21 or the Type-C interface 22, the overload protector 5 can cut off the power supply in time when the current exceeds the rated value, preventing equipment damage and fire accidents. Users can restore the power supply by manually operating the switch button 51, making it convenient for users to restore normal use after troubleshooting. This not only meets the charging needs of users for various electrical devices but also effectively protects the safety of equipment and users.

[0024] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a connecting seat 6 is installed on the housing 1, and a retractable clamping member 7 is movably installed on the connecting seat 6. A clamping opening is formed between the clamping member 7 and the bottom of the connecting seat 6. The clamping opening is used to accommodate and clamp the supporting surface. The connecting seat 6 plays a supporting and connecting role, providing a basis for the installation and movement of the clamping member 7. The clamping member 7 can extend and retract on the connecting seat 6, so that the size of the clamping opening can be adjusted as needed. When a thicker supporting surface needs to be clamped, the clamping member 7 can be extended; when a thinner supporting surface needs to be clamped, the clamping member 7 can be shortened. By clamping the supporting surface, the clamping opening can securely fix the socket in the corresponding position, preventing it from shifting or falling off due to external forces. The supporting surface refers to a desktop or other flat surface.

[0025] More specifically, the clamping member 7 has an L-shaped structure. The clamping member 7 is connected to the connecting seat 6 by a screw 8. The screw 8 drives the clamping member 7 to extend and retract by rotating. The L-shaped clamping member 7 is usually composed of two mutually perpendicular parts. One part is used to connect with the connecting seat 6, and the other part is used to form a clamping opening to provide more stable support. The extension and retraction of the clamping member 7 is achieved by rotating the screw 8. The user can manually rotate the screw 8, which drives the clamping member 7 to move along the axis of the screw 8, thereby adjusting the size of the clamping opening. The clamping member 7 is limited and installed on the connecting seat 6 by the screw 8 to prevent the clamping member 7 from disengaging from the connecting seat 6 during use, making it more reliable.

[0026] More specifically, the housing 1 is installed at an angle on the connector 6 so that the panel 2 is tilted towards the front. The tilted installation of the housing 1 gives the panel 2 a specific tilt angle relative to the support surface. The design of the panel 2 tilting towards the front makes it more convenient for users to plug and unplug plugs or connecting cables. Users can also see the usage status of the socket or interface 22 more clearly, improving the convenience and comfort of use.

[0027] More specifically, the bottom of the connector 6 is equipped with an anti-slip pad 9. The anti-slip pad 9 increases friction to effectively prevent the connector 6 from sliding on the support surface, reduce the displacement of the connector 6 on the support surface, improve the stability and safety of the socket, and avoid wire pulling or equipment damage caused by the socket falling off.

[0028] The rest of the contents of Example 2 are the same as those of Example 1.

[0029] Example 3, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, panel 2 is provided with TYPE-A interface 23, which is connected to the second mounting base 4. TYPE-A interface 23 is a widely used USB interface standard with strong compatibility and stable transmission, which enables the socket to meet the charging and data transmission needs of various electronic devices.

[0030] More specifically, the TYPE-C interface 22 and the TYPE-A interface 23 are arranged in parallel. The parallel arrangement design makes the TYPE-C interface 22 and the TYPE-A interface 23 spatially independent, avoiding mutual interference between the two interfaces, while maintaining a certain degree of compactness. This allows for an efficient layout within a limited space, making the overall size of the socket smaller.

[0031] More specifically, the socket is equipped with multiple German and Italian style and TYPE-C interfaces 22, and multiple German and Italian style sockets 21, so that the socket can meet the power access needs of multiple German and Italian style electrical appliances at the same time. It is also equipped with multiple TYPE-C interfaces 22, so that the socket can meet the charging and data transmission needs of multiple modern electronic devices at the same time. This not only improves the versatility of the socket, but also enhances its practicality.

[0032] More specifically, the panel 2 is provided with a mounting port 24 that is compatible with the switch button 51. The switch button 51 passes through the mounting port 24 and protrudes outside the panel 2. The mounting port 24 on the panel 2 is used to install the switch button 51, which ensures that the switch button 51 can be stably installed on the panel 2 and will not loosen or shift during operation. The position design of the mounting port 24 makes it convenient for the user to operate the switch button 51.

[0033] More specifically, a protective door 10 is installed on the first mounting base 3. The protective door 10 can directly protect the socket, prevent foreign objects from entering or misoperation, ensure that the socket is in a safe state when not in use, reduce the risk of misoperation, and improve the safety and reliability of the socket.

[0034] The other contents of Example 3 are the same as those of Example 1 or Example 2.
