One end of the base 20 is disposed on the column 10, the cable reel 30 is disposed below the base 20, and the ball bearing seat 40 is disposed below the cable reel 30. The ball bearing seat 40 is used to drive the cable reel 30 to move. The cable reel 30 includes a cable 31, a positioning element 32, and a fixing element 33. A notch 311 is provided on one side of the cable reel 30. The positioning element 32 is disposed on the inner wall of the cable reel 30 near the notch 311. Multiple fixing elements 33 are provided and are arranged around the cable reel 30. The positioning element 32 is used to position one end of the cable 31 inside the cable reel 30, and the other end passes through the notch 311 and is arranged around the outer wall of the cable reel 30 for storing the cable 31. In this embodiment, the support column 10 and base 20 provide a stable foundation, ensuring that the support column 10 can be placed stably on the ground, facilitating use in various scenarios. Furthermore, the notch 311 on one side of the cable reel 30, in conjunction with the positioning element 32, precisely positions one end of the cable 31 inside the reel 30, while the other end passes through the notch 311 and wraps around the outer wall of the reel 30. This achieves orderly cable storage, preventing the cable 31 from becoming tangled and making cable organization and retrieval more convenient. The fixing element 33 surrounding the reel 30 further secures the cable 31, preventing it from loosening or shifting during storage or use, ensuring the stability of the cable storage. The ball bearing seat 40 allows the reel 30 to move, flexibly adjusting its position and easily pulling out the cable 31 to a suitable length, greatly improving the convenience and flexibility of using the power strip cable 31, making it highly practical.

[0020] like Figure 3As shown, an assembly cavity 11 is provided inside the column 10, and a connector 12 is provided inside the assembly cavity 11. The outer sides of the connector 12 are located on both sides of the column 10. In this embodiment, the assembly cavity 11 provides a stable installation space for the connector 12, ensuring its structural stability and preventing shaking or displacement during use. Placing the outer sides of the connector 12 on both sides of the column 10 greatly improves its ease of use and operability, allowing related components to be quickly and accurately inserted into the connector 12 from both sides of the column 10, simplifying the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency.

It also allows the cable 31 to be stretched and retracted more smoothly during storage and use, reducing friction and jamming, and improving the convenience and flexibility of cable 31 storage.

[0028] A mounting screw 411 is provided near the mounting hole 41 of the ball bearing seat 40. One end of the mounting screw 411 passes through the mounting hole 41 and is fixed to the fixing element 33 to fix the ball bearing seat 40 to the coil 30. The mounting shim 43 is provided in the mounting groove 42. Multiple ball bearing seats 44 are provided. Two sets of ball bearing grooves 45 are arranged opposite each other in the multiple ball bearing seats. One end of the ball bearing seat 44 is set in the mounting groove 42 through the mounting shim 43 so that the ball bearing seat 40 can be driven to roll by the ball bearing seat 44. In this embodiment, the ball bearing seat 40 is securely fixed to the cable reel 30 by the mounting screw 411, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the ball bearing seat 40's position. It is not easy to loosen or shift during long-term use and frequent cable winding and unwinding. The multiple ball bearing assembly seats 44 are provided with two sets of opposing ball bearing grooves 45, which are installed in the assembly groove 42 with the assembly pads 43. This not only makes the structure compact and reasonable, but also allows the ball bearing seat 40 to roll flexibly, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of cable winding and unwinding.
