[0027] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. Example

[0028] This embodiment provides a desktop socket, as shown in the attached image. Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes: The housing 100 has a receiving cavity 101, which is used to connect and fix to the tabletop and is usually located on the bottom surface of the tabletop.

[0029] The lifting module 200 is housed in and slides relative to the receiving cavity 101. The lifting module 200 is raised and lowered. When the lifting module 200 rises and exceeds the top surface of the table (i.e., the desktop), the socket of the lifting module 200 is exposed. The operator can connect the plug to the socket to form an electrical connection. This is the prior art.

[0030] A gas spring 300 is housed in a receiving cavity 101. The gas spring 300 includes a body 11, a piston rod 12, a fixing member 13, and a gear 14. The upper end of the body 11 cooperates with the lifting module 200. When the lifting module 200 moves, the body 11 also moves. The body 11 has a cavity 111. One end of the piston rod 12 extends into the cavity 111, and the other end extends out of the cavity 111. The piston rod 12 moves relative to the body 11. How the piston rod 12 moves relative to the body 11 is prior art, so it will not be described in detail in this embodiment. A rotating member 15 is sleeved on the piston rod 12. The rotating member 15 rotates relative to the piston rod 12. The outer wall of the rotating member 15 has a plurality of first protrusions 151, which are arranged in a circumferential array. The fixing member 13 and the gear 14 are housed in the cavity 111. The gear 14 is located on the side of the fixing member 13 away from the opening of the cavity 111. In this embodiment, the gear 14 is located above the fixing member 13, and the gear 14 is connected and fixed to the fixing member 13. The gear 14 has a plurality of first teeth 141, which are also arranged in a circumferential array. The inner wall of the fixing member 13 has a plurality of second protrusions 131. In this embodiment, the fixing member 13 has a through hole that extends vertically. The second protrusions 131 are disposed on the inner wall of the through hole and are also arranged in a circumferential array. The side of the second protrusion 131 facing the opening of the cavity 111 has a guide portion 132, and the side of the second protrusion 131 away from the opening of the cavity 111 has a groove 133.

[0031] In the first state, the rotating part 15 is located outside the cavity 111, the gas spring 300 is activated, and it is in the unlocked state. The main body 11 moves relative to the housing 100, causing the lifting module 200 to move relative to the housing 100. At this time, the lifting module 200 moves upward, forming an upward movement.

[0032] In the second state, pressing the lifting module 200 causes the gas spring 300 to move, and the piston rod 12 moves relative to the body 11, that is, the piston rod 12 moves into the cavity 111. At this time, the rotating part 15 also moves towards the cavity 111, and the guide part 132 abuts against the first protrusion 151 (oblique cutting action). The rotating part 15 rotates, and at this time the first protrusion 151 rotates to the gap between two adjacent second protrusions 131. The first protrusion 151 continues to move upward until the first protrusion 151 abuts against the first tooth 141. The first tooth 141 cooperates with the first protrusion 151 (oblique cutting action), which also realizes the rotation of the rotating part 15. The rotating part 15 continues to rotate. When the force applied to the lifting module 200 disappears, the gas spring 300 is activated (referring to the buffer spring inside the gas spring 300). The rotating part 15 moves vertically downward. At this time, the first protrusion 151 abuts against the slot 133 to form a locking effect.

[0033] When unlocking is required, press the lifting module 200 again. The piston rod 12 moves relative to the body 11. At this time, the rotating part 15 moves upward, causing the first tooth 141 to engage with the first protrusion 151 (oblique cutting action), realizing the rotation of the rotating part 15. At this time, the slot 133 is not located on the vertical movement trajectory of the first protrusion 151. When the force applied to the lifting module 200 disappears, the gas spring 300 actuates (referring to the buffer spring action inside the gas spring 300). The first protrusion 151 passes through the gap between two adjacent second protrusions 131, realizing the maximum stroke of the piston rod 12, forming the upward movement of the lifting module 200. With this structural setting, the locking and unlocking mechanism is set inside the gas spring 300. By simply changing the structure of the gas spring 300, the locking and unlocking effects of the desktop socket are realized. In the locked state, the lifting module 200 does not move and is level with the desktop. In the unlocked state, the lifting module 200 slowly rises upward under the action of the gas spring 300 for the operator to use. This structure greatly reduces the space occupied by the locking and unlocking mechanisms, giving designers more design flexibility. It also reduces the number of parts, making installation easier and lowering production costs.

[0034] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 5-6 As shown, the guide portion 132 has a triangular structure and is oriented downwards. The guide portion 132 includes a first inclined surface 1321 and a second inclined surface 1322, which are connected at the apex of the triangle. The first inclined surface 1321 and the second inclined surface 1322 are asymmetrically arranged. The cooperation of the first inclined surface 1321 and the second inclined surface 1322 creates a guiding effect; this asymmetrical arrangement allows for unilateral guidance. Alternatively, the first inclined surface 1321 and the second inclined surface 1322 can be symmetrically arranged, in which case the rotating member 15 can move arbitrarily to one side.

[0035] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 5-6 As shown, gear 14 is connected and fixed to fixing member 13. Alternatively, gear 14 and fixing member 13 are integrally formed. Gear 14 and fixing member 13 cooperate with each other to form a cooperating effect with rotating member 15.

[0036] Specifically, the first tooth 141 is embedded into the through hole.

[0037] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 1-4 As shown, the lifting module 200 includes an inner cover 16, which has a first groove 161. The top end of the body 11 is inserted into the first groove 161 and abuts against the top surface of the first groove 161. The first groove 161 provides a positioning and fixing effect for the gas spring 300.

[0038] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 1-4 As shown, the lifting module 200 also includes a face cover 17, which is connected to the inner cover 16. The face cover 17 is located at the top of the lifting module 200. The face cover 17 and the inner cover 16 can be connected by a snap-fit, a bolt, or other means.

[0039] Specifically, a wireless charging component is fixed between the front cover 17 and the inner cover 16; or an indicator component is fixed between the front cover 17 and the inner cover 16. The setting of the wireless charging component or the indicator component creates a multi-functional effect, enabling the desktop socket to have both wireless charging and indicator functions.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 1-4 As shown, the lifting module 200 includes a bottom cover 18, which has a second groove 181. The bottom end of the body 11 is embedded in the second groove 181 and abuts against the bottom surface of the second groove 181. The piston rod 12 passes through the second groove 181. The second groove 181 further fixes the body 11, making the body 11 connected and fixed to the lifting module 200. When the piston rod 12 moves relative to the body 11, the body 11 moves.

[0041] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 1-4 As shown, it also includes a base plate 19 and fasteners 22. The piston rod 12 passes through the base plate 19, and the fasteners 22 connect and fix the piston rod 12 to the base plate 19. The fasteners 22 provide a fixed effect for the piston rod 12, preventing it from shaking. Here, the base plate 19 is part of the housing 100.

[0042] Specifically, there are two fasteners 22, one of which is located inside the receiving cavity 101, and the other is located below the base plate 19. The two fasteners 22 provide a fixed top-to-bottom effect, better securing the piston rod 12. Here, the fastener 22 is a nut.

[0043] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 1-4 As shown, the piston rod 12 is fitted with a guide sleeve 20 and an elastic element 21. The guide sleeve 20 is located below the rotating member 15, and the elastic element 21 is located between the fastener 22 and the guide sleeve 20. The elastic element 21 forms an elastic buffer, allowing the rotating member 15 to rotate more effectively. Here, the elastic element 21 is a spring.

[0044] Specifically, the gas spring 300 is a single unit. During its fixing process, the piston rod 12 only needs to pass through the bottom cover 18 and the base plate 19, and then be fixed by two fasteners 22 to achieve the effect of installation and fixing. The assembly is simple and improves the assembly efficiency of the entire desktop socket.

[0045] Specifically, the main body 11 also contains components such as buffer springs and dampers, which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
