Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the technical field of electrical sockets, and in particular to a socket structure with an inclined panel and a multi-functional socket. Background Technology

[0002] Power strips are used for power expansion and to power devices. Their structural design affects user experience and space utilization efficiency. Existing power strips are placed or fixed to the edge of the desktop. Power strips generally adopt a vertical panel design, with the plug surface perpendicular to the mounting plane. During the plugging and unplugging process, the plug is inserted and unplugged along the vertical mounting plane, occupying vertical space.

[0003] When there are many items on the desktop or the desktop cabinets are in the way, the power strip may cause space conflicts when plugging and unplugging in a scenario where the height is limited. In addition, when plugging and unplugging the power strip and plugs, the operator cannot easily see the sockets of the power strip on the edge of the desktop and needs to observe them at close range before plugging and unplugging, which makes the plugging and unplugging process inconvenient.

[0004] For example, the electrical power strip with a locking clip structure disclosed in prior art CN202222349166.7 includes a power strip body and a locking clip. The power strip body has connecting surfaces on both sides, with mounting platforms on the connecting surfaces, and a clamping surface on the lower surface of the power strip body. A clamping position is formed between the locking clip and the clamping surface. The clamping position formed between the locking clip and the clamping surface is used for clamping and fixing on a desktop or similar structural location. However, this solution fails to solve the problem that the insertion and removal process is carried out along the direction perpendicular to the mounting plane, occupying vertical space, and making it difficult to observe the plug holes of the power strip at the edge of the desktop during insertion and removal. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this disclosure is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a panel-tilted power strip structure and a multi-functional power strip that reduces the space occupied above the socket, facilitates plugging and unplugging, and provides a stable installation.

[0006] The purpose of this disclosure is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A power strip structure with an inclined panel includes a power strip housing, a motherboard assembly, a plug-in assembly, and a fixing assembly. The power strip housing has a mounting groove, a flat bottom plate at the bottom, and an inclined panel at the top. The inclined panel is inclined to the flat bottom plate and has a plug-in mounting hole. The motherboard assembly is installed in the mounting groove, one end of the plug-in assembly is connected to the motherboard assembly, and the other end of the plug-in assembly is disposed in the plug-in mounting hole.

[0008] The fixing assembly includes a support plate, a clamping plate, and clamping bolts. The two ends of the support plate are respectively connected to the flat base plate and the clamping plate. The clamping plate is parallel to the flat base plate. The clamping plate has a threaded hole. The clamping bolts are movably inserted through the threaded hole and are used to clamp and fix the tabletop with the flat base plate.

[0009] In one embodiment, one side of the power strip housing is perpendicular to the planar base plate, and the corresponding other side of the power strip housing is formed with an arc surface.

[0010] In one embodiment, the support plate is connected at the transition position between the arcuate surface and the flat base plate.

[0011] In one embodiment, one end of the clamping bolt has a circular abutment portion.

[0012] In one embodiment, the plug-in assembly includes a power connector and a Type-C connector. The connection ends of the power connector and the Type-C connector are connected to the motherboard assembly. Another plug-in end of the power connector passes through the plug-in mounting hole. The tilted panel also has a first through hole, and the other end of the Type-C connector passes through the first through hole.

[0013] In one embodiment, the motherboard assembly includes a first control board and a second control board, the first control board and the second control board being vertically connected, both the first control board and the second control board being fixed in the mounting slot, the power supply plug being connected to the first control board, and the Type-C plug being connected to the second control board.

[0014] In one embodiment, the plug-in assembly further includes a USB component, the USB component includes a plug-in board and a USB plug-in, the power strip housing has a second through hole, the plug-in board is connected to the second control board, the USB plug-in is disposed on the plug-in board, and one end of the USB plug-in passes through the second through hole.

[0015] In one embodiment, the USB plug is disposed on one side of the second control board away from the Type-C plug, and the second through hole is disposed on one side of the extended end of the power strip housing.

[0016] In one embodiment, the tilt angle between the tilted panel and the flat base plate is 15°-70°.

[0017] A multi-functional power strip includes the power strip structure with a tilted panel as described in any of the above examples.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0019] The aforementioned tilted panel power strip structure and multi-functional power strip, by setting the plug-in components on the tilted panel, adjusts the plug insertion and removal direction from the traditional vertical direction to the tilted direction, reducing the space occupied above and avoiding the problem of plugs falling vertically. The plug-in components installed on the tilted panel are tilted towards the operator, making it easy for the operator to observe the plug-in components, thus making the insertion and removal process more convenient. The adjustable clamping structure formed by the clamping bolts and the flat base plate can clamp desktops of various thicknesses without additional tools, making the tilted panel power strip structure stable to install and with good compatibility.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] To better understand the technical solutions and beneficial effects of this disclosure, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this is a panel-tilted power strip structure 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, including a power strip housing 100, a main board assembly 200, a plug-in assembly 300, and a fixing assembly 400. The power strip housing 100 has a mounting groove 101. The lower part of the power strip housing 100 is a flat base plate 110, and the upper part of the power strip housing 100 has an inclined panel 120. The inclined panel 120 is inclined to the flat base plate 110. The inclined panel 120 has a plug-in mounting hole 1201. The main board assembly 200 is installed in the mounting groove 101. One end of the plug-in assembly 300 is connected to the main board assembly 200, and the other end of the plug-in assembly 300 is disposed in the plug-in mounting hole 1201.

[0030] Furthermore, the fixing component 400 includes a support plate 410, a clamping plate 420, and a clamping bolt 430. The two ends of the support plate 410 are respectively connected to the flat base plate 110 and the clamping plate 420. The clamping plate 420 is parallel to the flat base plate 110. The clamping plate 420 has a threaded hole 4201. The clamping bolt 430 is movably inserted through the threaded hole 4201. The clamping bolt 430 is used to clamp and fix the tabletop with the flat base plate 110.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the inclined panel plug-in structure 10 is installed on the desktop, the inclined direction of the plug-in component 300 through the inclined panel 120 faces the operator. The plug is changed from the direction of up and down insertion and removal to the direction of insertion and removal along the inclined surface of the inclined panel 120. This avoids the space above blocking the plug from being inserted and removed, making the inclined panel plug-in structure 10 suitable for scenarios where the space above is limited for insertion and removal operations. It also avoids the problem of the plug falling off after insertion when the plug-in component 300 is perpendicular to the desktop. The flat base plate 110 contacts the upper surface of the desktop. By tightening the clamping bolt 430, one end of the clamping bolt 430 abuts against the lower surface of the desktop. Adjusting the clamping bolt 430 can clamp desktops of different thicknesses.

[0032] The aforementioned tilted panel power strip structure 10, by setting the plug-in component 300 on the tilted panel 120, adjusts the plug insertion and removal direction from the traditional vertical direction to the tilted direction, reducing the space occupied above and avoiding the problem of plugs falling vertically. The plug-in component 300 passing through the tilted panel 120 is tilted towards the operator, making it easy for the operator to observe the plug-in component 300, thus making the insertion and removal process more convenient. The clamping bolt 430 forms an adjustable clamping structure with the flat base plate 110, which can clamp desktops of various thicknesses without additional tools, making the tilted panel power strip structure 10 stable to install and with good compatibility.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, one side of the power strip housing 100 is perpendicular to the flat base plate 110, and the corresponding other side of the power strip housing 100 forms an arc surface 130. In this embodiment, the arc surface 130 structure of the power strip housing 100 reduces the sharp edges and corners of the power strip housing 100, avoids collision damage caused by sharp edges and corners, and improves the aesthetics of the power strip housing 100. The arc surface 130 of the power strip housing 100 can evenly distribute stress, improve the impact resistance of the power strip housing 100, and thus extend the service life of the power strip housing 100.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the support plate 410 is connected at the transition position between the arc surface 130 and the flat base plate 110. In this embodiment, the support plate 410 is connected at the transition position between the arc surface 130 and the flat base plate 110, so that one side of the support plate 410 is in contact with the wall and the other side of the support plate 410 is in contact with the clamped tabletop, which reduces the wobbling space of the support plate 410, improves the support stability, and makes the space occupied by the power strip housing 100 smaller.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a circular abutment portion 431 is formed at one end of the clamping bolt 430. In this embodiment, the circular abutment portion 431 abuts against the tabletop, so that the tabletop and the circular abutment portion 431 are subjected to uniform force, thereby reducing damage to the tabletop and improving the stability of clamping.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the plug-in assembly 300 includes a power plug 310 and a Type-C plug 320. The connection ends of the power plug 310 and the Type-C plug 320 are connected to the motherboard assembly 200. The other plug-in end of the power plug 310 passes through the plug-in mounting hole 1201. The tilted panel 120 also has a first through hole 1202, and the other end of the Type-C plug passes through the first through hole 1202. In this embodiment, the plug-in port of the power plug 310 is compatible with two-prong and three-prong plugs of conventional electrical appliances. The Type-C plug 320 can quickly charge new electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. By setting the Type-C plug 320, the charging function of the tilted panel power strip structure 10 is expanded.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the motherboard assembly 200 includes a first control board 210 and a second control board 220. The first control board 210 and the second control board 220 are vertically connected and both are fixed within the mounting slot 101. The power connector 310 is connected to the first control board 210, and the Type-C connector 320 is connected to the second control board 220. In this embodiment, by vertically connecting and fixing the first control board 210 and the second control board 220, the first control board 210 and the second control board 220 are fixed in multiple directions, thereby improving the stability of the first control board 210 and the second control board 220 and enabling an efficient layout of the first control board 210 and the second control board 220 within a limited space, thus improving space utilization.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the plug-in assembly 300 further includes a USB assembly 330, which includes a plug-in board 331 and a USB plug-in 332. The power strip housing 100 has a second through hole 102. The plug-in board 331 is connected to the second control board 220, and the USB plug-in 332 is disposed on the plug-in board 331, with one end of the USB plug-in 332 passing through the second through hole 102. In this embodiment, the USB plug-in 332 is used to charge electronic devices. Integrating the USB assembly 330 into the tilted power strip structure 10 improves the ease of use of the product.

[0039] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the USB plug-in 332 is disposed on one side of the second control board 220 opposite to the Type-C plug-in 320, and the second through hole 102 is disposed on one side of the extended end of the power strip housing 100. In this embodiment, one end of the USB plug-in 332 passes through the second through hole 102, so that the USB plug-in 332 is disposed on the extended end of one end of the power strip housing 100, thereby making the space utilization of the tilted power strip structure 10 of the panel higher.

[0040] In one embodiment, the panel-tilted power strip structure 10 further includes a connecting wire. The power strip housing 100 has a wire-passing hole, through which the connecting wire passes and connects to the motherboard assembly 200. In this embodiment, the wire-passing hole can be provided on the bottom plate 110 of the plug housing and on each side of the power strip housing 100, and the connecting wire is used to connect to a power supply.

[0041] In one embodiment, the tilt angle between the tilted panel 120 and the flat base plate 110 is 15°-70°. In this embodiment, if the tilt angle is too small, it may be inconvenient to insert the plug due to its close proximity to the desktop, and the plug may easily loosen and fall after insertion due to instability. The tilt angle of the tilted panel 120 is 15°-70°, which makes it easier to plug and unplug the plug and interface of the tilted power strip structure 10 and avoids the problem of the plug falling.

[0042] This application also provides a multi-functional power strip, including the power strip structure 10 with a tilted panel as described in any of the above embodiments. In this embodiment, the tilted panel power strip structure 10 facilitates the clamping and secure installation of the multi-functional power strip, and the tilted panel 120 makes plug insertion convenient.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, this disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0044] The aforementioned tilted panel power strip structure 10 and multi-functional power strip, by setting the plug-in component 300 on the tilted panel 120, adjusts the plug insertion and removal direction from the traditional vertical direction to the tilted direction, reducing the space occupied above and avoiding the problem of plugs falling vertically. The plug-in component 300 passing through the tilted panel 120 is tilted towards the operator, making it easy for the operator to observe the plug-in component 300, thus making the insertion and removal process more convenient. The clamping bolt 430 and the flat base plate 110 form an adjustable clamping structure, which can clamp desktops of various thicknesses without additional tools, making the tilted panel power strip structure 10 stable to install and with good compatibility.

[0045] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this disclosure, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the disclosed patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this disclosure, and these all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
