Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A power cord with a plug is a cable device used for electrical connections. Its core function is to transmit power from a power source (such as a wall socket) to electrical equipment (such as appliances, lamps, etc.). It consists of a flexible cable and a plug at one end, designed to be inserted into a standard power socket to establish an electrical connection.

[0003] Existing power cords with plugs lack effective protection against impacts, pressure, or scratches from external objects after the plug is unplugged. Since the plugs are usually made of metal, which is relatively soft, they are easily bent and deformed if they are hit by external objects, such as being accidentally hit by a heavy object. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a power cord with a plug, which facilitates the protection of the plug and solves the problem of inconvenient plug protection in the prior art.

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

[0006] A power cord with a plug includes a power cord, one end of which is fixedly connected to a plug one, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a plug two. The plug two has two slots on its sidewall, and a locking block is slidably connected inside each slot. Multiple protective sleeves are fixedly connected to the sidewall of the plug two. A protective shell is slidably disposed on the sidewall of the plug two. Multiple square slots are provided through the sidewall of the protective shell, and slots are provided on both sides of the protective shell. A top block is slidably connected inside each slot.

[0007] Preferably, an elastic element is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot, and an elastic element is fixedly connected to the side wall of the elastic element and the side wall of the locking block.

[0008] Preferably, the plug has holes on both side walls, and a spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell, with the end of the spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hole.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the protective shell is provided with multiple grooves, and the multiple grooves are distributed in a circular array.

[0010] Preferably, the plug has multiple protrusions fixedly connected to its two side walls, and the multiple protrusions are distributed in a circular array, with the groove slidably connected to the protrusions.

[0011] Preferably, the protective shell has slots on both sides, and movable blocks are slidably connected inside the slots.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. After the second prong of the plug is fully slid out of the socket hole, the spring pushes the protective shell to slide, so that the second prong of the plug is back inside the protective shell. The protective shell can provide a physical barrier for the prongs, preventing the prongs from being hit, squeezed or scratched by external objects, preventing the prongs from being deformed or damaged, thereby extending the service life of the second prong.

[0014] 2. After the spring is released from its limit, it releases energy and pushes the plug two to slide a small distance, causing the slot to misalign with the hole. This small slide provides the initial power for manually pulling the plug two, reducing the initial force required for the operator to manually pull out the plug, making the pulling process easier and less strenuous.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4A power cord with a plug includes a power cord 001, one end of which is fixedly connected to a plug 101, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a plug 2 102. The plug 2 102 has two slots 103 on its side wall, and a locking block 104 is slidably connected inside the slots 103. Multiple protective sleeves 106 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the plug 2 102. A protective shell 002 is slidably disposed on the side wall of the plug 2 102. Multiple square slots 201 are provided through the side wall of the protective shell 002. Both sides of the protective shell 002 have openings 203, and a top block 204 is slidably connected inside the openings 203. When an operator connects the plug 101 to an electrical equipment socket, a portion of the locking block 104 is located inside the opening 203, pushing the top block 204 out of the opening 203. The side wall of the locking block 104 fits against the side wall of the top block 204, thus securing the protective shell 002. The plug 102 pins are positioned inside the protective housing 002, which protects them. When power needs to be supplied to the electrical equipment, the operator aligns the square groove 201 with the socket hole, and the side wall of the protective housing 002 is flush with the side wall of the socket. The operator then manually presses the top block 204 to push the locking block 104 out of the groove 203, and then pushes the plug 102, causing the plug 102 pins to slide out of the square groove 201. The plug 102 pins gradually slide into the socket hole. After the inner wall of the protective housing 002 is flush with the side wall of the plug 102, the protective sleeve 106 slides into the square groove 201, and the plug 102 pins are fully slid into the socket hole, achieving electrical connection. At this time, power smoothly enters the electrical equipment through the plug 102, power cord 001, and plug 101, thus powering the electrical equipment.

[0022] An elastic element 105 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot 103. The side wall of the elastic element 105 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the block 104. When the block 104 is pushed and slides into the slot 103, the elastic element 105 is compressed. When the pushing force on the block 104 disappears, the elastic element 105 is elastically released and pushes the block 104 to slide.

[0023] The plug 102 has a hole 107 on its side wall. A spring 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 002. The end of the spring 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hole 107. When the inner wall of the protective shell 002 is in contact with the side wall of the plug 102, the spring 202 retracts into the hole 107.

[0024] The inner wall of the protective shell 002 is provided with multiple grooves 205, which are arranged in a circular array and are square in shape.

[0025] The side wall of plug 102 is fixedly connected with multiple protrusions 108, which are arranged in a circular array. The groove 205 is slidably connected to the protrusions 108. Through the cooperation between the protrusions 108 and the groove 205, the sliding protective shell 002 is limited to avoid misalignment when the protective shell 002 slides.

[0026] Both sides of the protective shell 002 are provided with slots 206. A movable block 207 is slidably connected inside the slots 206. When the plug pins of plug 2 102 are fully slid into the socket hole, the slot 103 aligns with the slot 206, the elastic element 105 is released elastically, and pushes the locking block 104 to slide. The locking block 104 slides into the slot 206 and pushes the movable block 207 out from inside the slot 206.

[0027] In this invention, the operator connects plug 101 to the electrical equipment socket. When it is necessary to power on the electrical equipment, the operator aligns the square groove 201 with the socket hole, and simultaneously the side wall of the protective shell 002 is fitted against the side wall of the socket. The operator then manually presses the top block 204 to push the locking block 104 out of the groove 203, and then pushes plug 102, causing the plug pins of plug 102 to slide out of the square groove 201. The plug pins of plug 102 gradually slide into the socket hole. After the inner wall of the protective shell 002 is fitted against the side wall of plug 102, the spring 20... 2. The protective sleeve 106 is slid into the square groove 201 and the plug pin 102 is fully slid into the socket hole, realizing the electrical connection. At this time, the power smoothly enters the electrical equipment through the plug pin 102, the power cord 001 and the plug 101, thereby energizing the electrical equipment. At the same time, the groove 103 is aligned with the slot 206, the elastic element 105 is released elastically, and pushes the locking block 104 to slide. The locking block 104 slides into the slot 206 and pushes the movable block 207 out from the inside of the slot 206, limiting the protective shell 002.

[0028] When it is necessary to pull the plug pins of plug 2 102 out of the socket hole, the operator manually presses the movable block 207 to push the locking block 104 out of the slot 206, releasing the restriction on the protective shell 002. At the same time, the energy of the spring 202 is released, and the spring 202 pushes plug 2 102 to slide a small distance, causing the slot 206 to be misaligned with the slot 103. Then the operator manually pulls plug 2 102 to pull the plug pins of plug 2 102 out of the socket hole. During this process, the spring 202 provides pushing assistance.

[0029] After the prongs of plug 102 have completely slid out of the socket hole, spring 202 pushes protective shell 002 to slide. When protrusion 108 is in contact with the inner wall of the right side of groove 205, protective shell 002 stops sliding. At the same time, slot 203 is aligned with hole 103, elastic element 105 is released elastically, and pushes locking block 104 to slide. Part of locking block 104 slides into slot 203. Locking block 104 pushes top block 204 out of slot 203. The side wall of locking block 104 is in contact with the side wall of top block 204, limiting the protective shell 002. The prongs of plug 102 are located inside protective shell 002, and the protective shell 002 protects the prongs of plug 102.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
