[0025] A smart power strip according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 The present invention aims to provide an embodiment of an intelligent power strip.
[0027] An embodiment of this utility model provides an intelligent power strip, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The system includes a housing 100, an AC power supply module and a DC charging module mounted on the housing 100. The AC power supply module provides AC power, and the DC charging module provides DC power. The housing 100 has a power cord 110 and a main switch 120 electrically connected to the power cord 110. The main switch 120 controls the power-on and power-off states of the AC power supply module and the DC charging module. The AC power supply module includes multiple AC power outlets 130, which are electrically connected to the main switch 120. The DC charging module includes a circuit board 140, a DC control switch 150 for controlling the power-on and power-off of the circuit board 140, a DC charging interface 160 electrically connected to the circuit board 140, and a display screen 170. The DC control switch 150 is electrically connected to the main switch 120.
[0028] It is understood that this utility model provides power to the AC power connection module and the DC charging module by setting up a power cord 110 and a main switch 120. When the user is not using the power strip, the power is cut off by the main switch 120, which disconnects the AC power connection module and the DC charging module, thus improving the safety of the power strip. When the user needs to use the power strip, the main switch 120 can be turned on to power the AC power connection module and the DC charging module.
[0029] Furthermore, this utility model, by setting up a circuit board 140, a DC control switch 150, a DC charging interface 160, and a display screen 170, utilizes the DC control switch 150 to control the power supply and de-energization of the circuit board 140. When the user does not need to use the DC charging module, the DC control switch 150 cuts off the circuit of the circuit board 140, causing the DC charging module to be de-energized, completely eliminating the no-load power consumption of the circuit board 140 and the display screen 170, achieving energy saving and consumption reduction. Moreover, when the main switch 120 remains open, only the DC charging module is turned off, without affecting the use of the AC power module, avoiding the short circuit risk caused by the DC charging module being energized for a long time, improving safety, meeting the needs of different power usage scenarios, and the display screen 170 can display the power parameters of the DC charging module.
[0030] In some embodiments of this utility model, the AC power module has six AC power sockets, which can supply power to high-power electrical appliances or charge electronic devices.
[0031] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 The top of the box 100 is provided with a first inclined surface 180 and a second inclined surface 190. The first inclined surface 180 and the second inclined surface 190 are symmetrically distributed in the width direction of the box 100. Multiple AC power sockets 130 are arranged on the first inclined surface 180 and the second inclined surface 190.
[0032] Understandably, the first slope 180 and the second slope 190 increase the spacing between adjacent AC power sockets 130 to prevent large adapters on the power strip from blocking each other. Furthermore, the arrangement of the AC power sockets 130 on the first slope 180 and the second slope 190 facilitates user plugging and unplugging operations and reduces blind spots in the sockets.
[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 The top of the box 100 is provided with a third inclined surface 200, and the third inclined surface 200 is provided with a display screen 170.
[0034] It is understandable that placing the display screen 170 on the third inclined plane 200 provides a wide field of view for the display screen 170, making it convenient to view the display screen 170 from a large angle and to observe the DC module parameters.
[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, the DC charging interface 160 is USB Type-A and / or USB Type-C, thus the DC charging interface 160 is adapted to the charging needs of different electronic products, such as mobile phones, tablets, etc.
[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The box 100 has a partition wall 210 inside, which divides the inside of the box 100 into a first inner cavity 220 and a second inner cavity 230. The first inner cavity 220 accommodates the AC power module, and the second inner cavity 230 accommodates the DC charging module.
[0037] Understandably, using the partition wall 210 to separate the AC power module and the DC charging module can isolate the heat source and delay the aging of components. In addition, the partition wall 210 isolates the path of short-circuit sparks, improving the safety of the power strip.
[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the box 100 includes an outer shell 240 and a base 250. An AC power connection module and a DC charging module are installed between the outer shell 240 and the base 250. The outer shell 240 and the base 250 are snap-fit connected, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, the base 250 is provided with a positioning groove 270, and the outer shell 240 is provided with a positioning part 260 that matches the positioning groove 270.
[0040] It is understandable that by using the positioning groove 270 and the positioning part 260 to match, the risk of misalignment during the assembly of the base 250 and the outer shell 240 is avoided, so that the outer shell 240 and the base 250 can be smoothly fastened together, thus improving assembly efficiency.
[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, a limiting groove 290 is provided on the top of the outer casing 240. The limiting groove 290 accommodates the display screen 170. Therefore, the limiting groove 290 restricts the position of the display screen 170, making the installation of the display screen 170 more convenient.
[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, the housing 100 has a power indicator light 320, which is electrically connected to the main switch 120; and / or, the housing 100 has a surge protection indicator light 330, which is electrically connected to the main switch 120.
[0043] Understandably, when the main switch 120 is turned on, the power indicator light 320 will illuminate, allowing users to visually observe the on / off status of the power strip.
[0044] When surge protection indicator light 330 is lit, it indicates that the surge protector is in operation or malfunctioning, serving as a warning.
[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, the housing 240 has a light-transmitting hole 280, and the power indicator light 320 has a lampshade 300 covering the light-transmitting hole 280. Therefore, the lampshade 300 can diffuse strong light and avoid glare when used at night.
[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 6 The bottom of the base 250 is provided with a hanging hole 310, which is used to fasten to a hook.
[0047] Therefore, the 310 mounting holes can be used to attach the power strip to the side of a wall or table, allowing for hanging installation and meeting installation needs in different locations.
[0048] In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention.
