[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The power strip structure provided in this embodiment includes a housing assembly 100, an overload protector 200, a socket module 300, and a switch module 400.
[0032] The housing assembly 100 forms an installation space for accommodating the overload protector 200, the socket module 300, and the switch module 400. The overload protector 200 is used to connect to the power supply line and monitor the current. The overload protector 200, the socket module 300, and the switch module 400 are arranged sequentially along the length of the installation space. The overload protector 200 and the switch module 400, the switch module 400 and the socket module 300, and the socket module 300 and the overload protector 200 are all electrically connected.
[0033] The housing assembly 100 forms an installation space for other components. The overload protector 200 and the switch module 400 are respectively located at opposite ends of the installation space for easy user operation. The overload protector 200 is electrically connected to the switch module 400 and the socket module 300 via wires, forming a complete circuit. When the current exceeds a set value, the overload protector 200 automatically cuts off the power supply to prevent damage to electrical equipment and fire accidents, ensuring rapid power disconnection in emergencies and improving electrical safety. The socket module 300 is located between the overload protector 200 and the switch module 400. The overload protector 200, the socket module 300, and the switch module 400 are electrically connected via wires to form a plug-in power supply structure.
[0034] In this embodiment, the outer casing assembly 100 forms an integral installation space, with the overload protector 200, switch module 400 and socket module 300 respectively located in different positions. The structure is compact and orderly, realizing the segmented layout of functional modules. This not only improves the space utilization of the installation space, but also makes the internal structure more compact and orderly, thereby reducing the overall volume of the power strip and making the power strip more flexible to use.
[0035] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 100 has a coupler interface 110 communicating with the installation space. The coupler interface 110 is electrically connected to the overload protector 200 and the socket module 300, respectively.
[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the coupler connector 110 is used to connect the power supply module, thereby enabling power supply to the power strip.
[0037] In this embodiment, the power supply line of the coupler interface 110 is protected by an overload protector 200 to ensure that no safety hazards are caused by excessive current when external devices are connected.
[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the electrical wiring of the coupler interface 110 is staggered with the wiring of the socket module 300 and the overload protector 200, which can avoid cross-interference between the various lines.
[0039] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 100 is provided with a switch mounting port 120 communicating with the installation space. The switch module 400 includes a switch button 410, which protrudes out of the switch mounting port 120.
[0040] The switch mounting opening 120 is located on the side or top of the housing assembly 100. The switch button 410 protrudes from the switch mounting opening 120 to allow the user to press the switch button 410 to turn the power strip on or off. Furthermore, the size of the switch mounting opening 120 is adapted to the switch button 410, ensuring that the switch button 410 can be securely installed within the switch mounting opening 120.
[0041] In this embodiment, a first mounting base 130 is provided within the installation space. The switch module 400 is disposed within the first mounting base 130 and is engaged with the first mounting base 130.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, two switch mounting slots are provided opposite to each other on the inner wall of the housing assembly 100, and the openings of the two switch mounting slots abut to form a first mounting base 130. The shape of the first mounting base 130 is adapted to the shape of the switch module 400. After the switch module 400 is installed in the first mounting base 130, the outer wall of the switch module 400 fits against the inner wall of the first mounting base 130, thereby realizing the installation and positioning of the switch module 400 and preventing the switch module 400 from moving or falling in the installation space, which would cause the circuit in the power strip to be disconnected.
[0043] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 100 is provided with a reset switch port 140 communicating with the installation space. The overload protector 200 includes a reset switch 210, which protrudes out of the reset switch port 140.
[0044] The reset switch 210 is part of the overload protector 200. When the power strip detects an overload and automatically cuts off the power, the user can restore power by pressing the reset switch 210. In this embodiment, the reset switch 210 protrudes from the reset switch opening 140 and is located on the side or top of the housing assembly 100 to ensure convenient pressing during use.
[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the reset switch port 140 abuts against and slides with the outer wall of the reset switch 210, allowing the reset switch 210 to move within the reset switch port 140. At the same time, the small gap between the reset switch 210 and the reset switch port 140 prevents debris from entering the installation space along the reset switch port 140.
[0046] In this embodiment, a second mounting base 150 is provided within the installation space. The overload protector 200 is located within the second mounting base 150 and is engaged with the second mounting base 150.
[0047] In this embodiment, the second mounting base 150 is used to fix and position the overload protector 200. Specifically, the shape and size of the second mounting base 150 are adapted to the overload protector 200 to ensure that the overload protector 200 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the mounting base, providing good mechanical support and electrical connection.
[0048] Furthermore, the overload protector 200 is located within and snapped into the second mounting base 150, which ensures the stability of the overload protector 200 in the installation space and prevents the overload protector 200 from moving or falling in the installation space, thereby preventing the internal circuit of the power strip structure from being disconnected or having poor contact.
[0049] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 100 includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing and the second housing are detachably connected to enclose and form an installation space.
[0050] After the first and second shells are connected to form an integral structure, an installation space is formed within the integral structure to enable the installation and fixation of various components.
[0051] The first and second housings are connected by a detachable connection method such as clips, screws, or slide rails, allowing for disassembly and reassembly when inspection, cleaning, or replacement of components is required. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first and second housings are connected by screws, making installation and disassembly very simple and improving assembly efficiency during production.
[0052] In this embodiment, the surface of the housing assembly 100 is provided with a wiring hole. The socket module 300 includes a wiring plate 310. The wiring plate 310 and the wiring hole are disposed opposite to each other.
[0053] In this embodiment, the power strip 310 is located inside the housing assembly 100 and is positioned opposite to the power socket of the housing assembly 100, so that each power socket can correspond to a socket, thereby achieving a stable electrical connection when the power cord of the appliance is inserted.
[0054] In this embodiment, there are multiple power strips 310 and multiple power sockets, each corresponding to the other.
[0055] Multiple socket holes and power strip 310 correspond one-to-one to form multiple plug-in structures for connecting power cords, so that the power strip structure provided in this embodiment can support the simultaneous power supply of multiple devices, adapting to the needs of multiple devices in modern home and office environments.
[0056] In this embodiment, multiple power strips 310 and multiple power sockets are arranged circumferentially along the installation space.
[0057] Multiple power strips 310 correspond one-to-one with multiple socket holes and are arranged circumferentially along the installation space. This structure allows the power strip structure to provide more socket interfaces for connecting device power cords within a limited space, while ensuring that the spacing between each plug is reasonable to avoid mutual interference.
[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple power strips 310 and multiple sockets are evenly and spaced apart along the direction surrounding the installation space. This structure allows power cords to be conveniently inserted from different angles, improving flexibility and convenience. Simultaneously, it provides more sockets within a compact size, meeting the needs of multiple devices powering simultaneously. Furthermore, the evenly distributed power strips 310 and sockets can distribute the current load, reducing the load pressure on individual sockets and improving the stability and safety of the entire power strip system.
[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
