Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, and more specifically, to an extension socket with an adjustable plug. Background Technology

[0002] Wall sockets are sockets built into the wall, and their specific installation method is fixed during the decoration process; however, in actual use, people often encounter the problem that there are not enough sockets on the sockets; in order to solve this problem, people need to expand the wall sockets.

[0003] Generally, extension cords come in two types: portable and fixed. Portable extension cords have longer power cords, allowing the cord to be moved to the specific location of use. However, due to the long power cord, they take up a lot of space and are not suitable for narrow spaces. Fixed extension cords, on the other hand, have a plug directly installed on the back of the cord, allowing the extension cord to be fixed directly above the wall socket. They are suitable for use in places such as kitchens and bathrooms.

[0004] However, the position between the plug and the socket of the existing fixed extension strip is fixed, while the position of the socket on the wall socket panel is not unique. This often makes the existing fixed extension strip unusable, or the extension strip cannot be attached to the wall during use, and cannot be fixed. As a result, the extension strip will wobble relative to the wall, affecting the plugging and unplugging of electrical appliances. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an expansion socket with an adjustable plug.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable plug extension socket includes a socket plate and a plug disposed at one end of the socket plate, the socket plate having a plurality of socket holes; the plug includes a plug housing and a pin assembly slidably disposed on the plug housing, the pin assembly including a mounting block and a plurality of pins fixed below the mounting block;

[0008] The plug housing is provided with a sliding groove in the horizontal direction for the mounting block to slide. The bottom wall of the sliding groove is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves, wherein the plurality of positioning grooves are arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the mounting block.

[0009] The upper surface of the mounting block is provided with a positioning protrusion that matches the positioning groove. The positioning protrusion cooperates with the corresponding positioning groove to fix the pin assembly to the corresponding position on the plug housing.

[0010] The present invention further includes: a positioning plate is fixedly provided on the bottom wall of the sliding groove, wherein a plurality of positioning grooves are provided on the positioning plate.

[0011] The present invention further includes: several positioning grooves are provided at both the front and rear ends of the positioning plate, and two positioning protrusions are provided at intervals at both the front and rear ends of the mounting block.

[0012] The two front positioning protrusions cooperate with the corresponding front positioning slots, and the two rear positioning protrusions cooperate with the corresponding rear positioning slots.

[0013] The present invention is further provided with the following: a connecting part is provided at one end of the plug housing, and movable protrusions are vertically provided on both the front and rear sides of the connecting part;

[0014] The bottom shell of the plug plate is vertically provided with a moving groove that matches the moving protrusion. The moving protrusion moves up and down along the corresponding moving groove, so that the plug moves up and down relative to the plug plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The plug assembly of the extension socket is slidably mounted on the socket housing on one side of the socket plate. Users can adjust the plug assembly at specific positions on the panel according to the required number of wall socket holes to be extended; this allows the plug assembly to be moved to a suitable position so that the socket plate can fit snugly against one side of the wall socket panel. After adjusting the position of the plug assembly, the positioning protrusion on the mounting block engages with the corresponding positioning groove to fix the plug assembly in the adjusted position.

[0016] One end of the plug housing is provided with a connecting part, and the front and rear sides of the connecting part are vertically provided with movable protrusions; the bottom shell of the socket plate is vertically provided with a movable groove that matches the movable protrusion. The movable protrusion moves up and down along the corresponding movable groove, so that the plug moves up and down relative to the socket plate; thus, the position of the plug relative to the socket plate in the vertical direction can be adjusted according to the thickness of the wall socket panel, so that the socket plate can be attached to the wall and fixed with adhesives such as glue; effectively preventing the extension socket plate from shaking relative to the wall, and facilitating the user to plug in and obtain power.

The plug 2 includes a plug housing 21 and a pin assembly 22 slidably disposed on the plug housing 21. The pin assembly 22 includes a mounting block 221 and a plurality of pins 222 fixed below the mounting block 221.

[0028] The plug housing 21 is provided with a sliding groove 211 in the horizontal direction for the mounting block 221 to slide. The bottom wall of the sliding groove 211 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 2121, wherein the plurality of positioning grooves 2121 are arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the mounting block 221.

[0029] The upper end face of the mounting block 221 is provided with a positioning protrusion 2211 that is adapted to the positioning groove 2121. The positioning protrusion 2211 cooperates with the corresponding positioning groove 2121 to fix the pin assembly 22 to the corresponding position of the plug housing 21.

[0030] The plug assembly 22 of the extended socket is slidably mounted on the outer shell of the socket 1 on one side of the socket 1. The user can adjust the plug assembly 22 at a specific position on the panel according to the wall socket 11 to be extended. The plug assembly 22 can be moved to a suitable position to adjust the horizontal position of the plug 2 relative to the socket 1, so that the socket 1 can be close to one side of the wall socket panel. After the position of the plug assembly 22 is adjusted, the positioning protrusion 2211 on the mounting block 221 cooperates with the corresponding positioning groove 2121 to fix the plug assembly 22 in the adjusted position.

[0031] The bottom wall of the sliding groove 211 is fixedly provided with a positioning plate 212, and a plurality of positioning grooves 2121 are provided on the positioning plate 212.

[0032] The positioning plate 212 has several positioning grooves 2121 at both its front and rear ends, and the mounting block 221 has two positioning protrusions 2211 spaced apart at both its front and rear ends. The two positioning protrusions 2211 at the front end cooperate with the corresponding positioning grooves 2121 at the front end, and the two positioning protrusions 2211 at the rear end cooperate with the corresponding positioning grooves 2121 at the rear end. This allows the pin assembly 22 to be more firmly fixed to the plug housing 21, improving the structural stability of the product.

[0033] The plug housing 21 is provided with a connecting part 213 at one end, and the connecting part 213 is provided with movable protrusions 2131 on both the front and rear sides; the bottom shell 12 of the plug plate 1 is provided with a movable groove 121 that matches the movable protrusions 2131, and the movable protrusions 2131 move up and down along the corresponding movable grooves 121, so that the plug 2 moves up and down relative to the plug plate 1;

[0034] The position of the plug 2 relative to the socket 1 in the vertical direction can be adjusted according to the thickness of the wall socket panel, so that the socket 1 can be attached to the wall and fixed with adhesives such as glue; effectively preventing the extension socket 1 from shaking relative to the wall, making it convenient for users to plug in and draw power.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected.
