Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power strip technology, and in particular to a power strip with a power display function. Background Technology

[0002] In modern life and work, the widespread use of various electrical devices has led to a growing demand for power outlets. Power strips, as devices that can expand power interfaces and supply power to multiple appliances simultaneously, have become indispensable electrical accessories. To improve electrical safety and management efficiency, new types of power strips with integrated power display functions have emerged on the market. These power strips, through their built-in monitoring modules, can detect and display information such as the total power, current, and voltage of connected appliances in real time, helping users intuitively understand the load situation. This effectively avoids safety risks such as short circuits and fires caused by overloading, and also provides data support for energy-saving management in home or office environments.

[0003] Currently, most power strips with power display functions on the market focus on internal electrical features, such as providing clear parameter displays, overload protection, or intelligent control. However, these power strips generally neglect the management of their excessively long power cords. In actual use, excess cables are often piled up or tangled around the power strip, which not only looks messy and affects the cleanliness and aesthetics of the environment, but also easily creates tripping hazards, posing a safety risk to users (especially the elderly and children). If users want to organize these cables, they usually need to manually bundle them with external tools such as cable ties and cable management tubes, which is a cumbersome process. Therefore, a power strip with a power display function is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a power strip with a power display function, aiming to improve the problem that it is troublesome to organize cables using external tools such as cable ties and cable ties in the existing technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A power strip with power display function includes an upper housing and a lower housing, a locking mechanism is provided between the upper housing and the lower housing, a power strip cable is provided inside the upper housing and the lower housing, a digital display is provided inside the upper housing and the digital display is electrically connected to the power strip cable, and a base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower housing, and a cable harnessing mechanism is provided inside the base.

[0007] The wire harness mechanism includes a clamp plate one and a clamp plate two. Multiple mounting plates are fixedly connected inside the base. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of each mounting plate. The clamp plate one and the clamp plate two are rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixing frame and are arranged opposite to each other. A side plate is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the clamp plate one and the clamp plate two. A spring is provided between the mounting plate and the side plate.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] Both the first clamp and the second clamp are S-shaped, and a cavity is formed between them.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The base has a through-hole groove, which is aligned with the cavity formed between clamping plate one and clamping plate two.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The locking mechanism includes a locking plate and a locking groove inside the upper housing. The locking plate is fixedly connected to the top of the lower housing, and one side of the top of the locking plate is hook-shaped. When the upper housing moves downward, the locking plate will be squeezed and deformed. When it is completely placed inside the locking groove, it returns to its initial state and is embedded inside the locking groove.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The bottom of the upper housing is fixedly connected to a positioning post, and the lower housing has a positioning groove inside. The positioning post is at the same height as the card plate, and the positioning groove and the card groove are at the same depth.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, through the cooperation between the spring drive and the clamping plate, the user only needs to push the excess cable into the base to open the clamping plate and be automatically clamped, realizing the quick organization and hiding of excess power cords, effectively solving the problems of mess and tripping caused by excessively long power cords, and maintaining the cleanliness of the usage environment.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, the cooperation between the hook-shaped card plate and the card slot achieves a firm and one-time snap-fit ​​effect between the shells, eliminating the need for traditional fasteners such as screws, simplifying the production and assembly process. Moreover, once snapped in place, it cannot be opened by hand or with conventional tools without damaging the structure, enhancing the overall structural stability and safety of the power strip and effectively eliminating the risk of users arbitrarily disassembling the shell and coming into contact with internal live components.

[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a power strip with a power display function, comprising an upper housing 1 and a lower housing 2. Circuit boards and other electrical components are housed inside the upper housing 1 and lower housing 2, enabling the power strip to provide power. The internal components are all existing conventional technologies and will not be described in detail here. A locking mechanism is provided between the upper housing 1 and lower housing 2. Once locked, the power strip cannot be disassembled by hand or with conventional tools without damaging the housing structure, enhancing its structural stability and effectively preventing children from accidentally opening the casing and contacting the internal electrical components. To mitigate risks and enhance electrical safety, the upper housing 1 and lower housing 2 house a power strip cable 4. The upper housing 1 houses a digital display 16, which is electrically connected to the power strip cable 4. The digital display 16 displays key electrical parameters such as the total power, voltage, or current carried by the power strip in real-time and intuitively in digital form. The lower housing 2 has a base 3 fixedly connected to its bottom, and the base 3 houses a cable management mechanism. This mechanism includes a first clamp 8 and a second clamp 9. The base 3 has multiple mounting plates 6 fixedly connected to its interior, and each mounting plate 6 has a fixed bracket 7 at its bottom. The first clamp 8 and... Both clamping plates 9 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixing frame 7 and are arranged opposite each other. Side plates 10 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of clamping plates 8 and 9. A spring 11 is provided between the mounting plate 6 and the side plate 10. One end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the side plate 10, and the other end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 6. The spring 11 is always in a pre-compressed state, and its elastic force continuously acts on the side plate 10, thereby pushing clamping plates 8 and 9 closer together and maintaining a clamping tendency. Both clamping plates 8 and 9 are S-shaped, and a cavity is formed between them to accommodate the power strip cable. 4. A wire groove 5 runs through the inside of the base 3. The wire groove 5 is aligned with the cavity formed between the clamp 8 and the clamp 9. When the user needs to store the excess power strip cable 4, he / she simply pushes the power strip cable 4 from the wire groove 5 into the base 3. The pushing force of the power strip cable 4 will overcome the elastic force of the spring 11, forcing the S-shaped clamp 8 and clamp 9 to open to both sides, allowing the power strip cable 4 to enter the cavity between them. After the power strip cable 4 enters the cavity, the restoring force of the spring 11 will drive the two clamps to return to their original position, thereby clamping the power strip cable 4, achieving the effect of coiling and storing the excess power strip cable 4 in the base 3.

[0032] Reference Figures 4-5The locking mechanism includes a locking plate 13 and a locking groove 12 formed inside the upper housing 1. The locking plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the lower housing 2, and one side of the top of the locking plate 13 is hook-shaped. When the upper housing 1 moves downward, the locking plate 13 will be compressed and deformed. When it is fully placed inside the locking groove 12, it will return to its initial state and be embedded inside the locking groove 12. The locking plate 13 has the characteristic of short-term deformation. When the upper housing 1 is snapped down, its internal structure will first compress the locking plate 13, causing it to undergo short-term elastic deformation. As the upper housing 1 continues to press down, when the locking plate 13 is fully inserted into the internal space of the locking groove 12, the locking plate 13 will return to its initial state due to the loss of the compressive force. In its initial state, the hook-like structure at the top will lock onto the inner wall of the slot 12, thus achieving a locking effect and eliminating the safety hazards caused by users arbitrarily disassembling the outer shell. The bottom of the upper shell 1 is fixedly connected to a positioning post 14, and the lower shell 2 has a positioning groove 15 inside. The positioning post 14 is at the same height as the card plate 13, and the positioning groove 15 and the slot 12 have the same depth. The side wall of the positioning post 14 is slidably connected inside the positioning groove 15. When the positioning post 14 is completely embedded inside the positioning groove 15, the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 fit together. The positioning post 14 and the positioning groove 15 play a guiding role, preventing misalignment or displacement during the fastening process.

[0033] Working principle: During the assembly of the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2, the upper housing 1 is placed on top of the lower housing 2, and then the upper housing 1 is pressed down, so that the positioning post 14 gradually slides into the interior of the positioning groove 15. As the upper housing 1 continues to move downward, the retaining plate 13 will be squeezed by the bottom of the upper housing 1, deform and gradually enter the interior of the retaining groove 12. When the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are in contact, the retaining plate 13 is just completely placed inside the retaining groove 12. The retaining plate 13 will start to reset due to the loss of the squeezing force, and the hook will be embedded in the interior of the retaining groove 12, ensuring the firmness of the closure of the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2.

[0034] When the power strip cord 4 is too long during use, it can be coiled inside the base 3. The wire harness end of the power strip cord 4 is wrapped inside the wire groove 5 and pressed upwards, causing the clamp plate 8 and clamp plate 9 to open to both sides under force, thereby compressing the spring 11. When the wire harness is completely placed in the cavity formed between clamp plate 8 and clamp plate 9, the spring 11 will lose its compressive force and push the clamp plate to return to its original position, thus achieving the effect of wire harnessing. The length of the power strip cord 4 is shortened by coiling, making it easier to use. After the power strip cord 4 is inserted into the power socket, the digital display 16 will display the current power, allowing the user to select whether to insert the corresponding electrical device according to the power.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
