[0026] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0028] The fixed track-type desktop socket structure in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it includes a strip-shaped housing 1 and a socket module 2 disposed within the strip-shaped housing 1. The strip-shaped housing 1 has an opening for the socket module 2 to be exposed. The strip-shaped housing 1 includes a bottom shell 11 with a mounting cavity 10 and a cover plate 12 covering the upper part of the bottom shell 11. Fixing members 3 are fixed on the inner wall of the cover plate 12 at intervals along its length. The fixing members 3 have support plates 32 at both ends, respectively close to two opposite side walls of the bottom shell 11. The support plates 32 are opposite to the corresponding side walls of the bottom shell 11 and are tightly connected to the bottom shell 11 by a fixed connection method (such as screws, welding, etc.). In this embodiment, the fixing members 3 not only realize the transition connection between the bottom shell 11 and the cover plate 12, but also provide a certain support to the side walls of the bottom shell 11 through the support plates 32 on the fixing members 3, which can effectively disperse external pressure and enhance the stability of the strip-shaped housing, thereby meeting the user's demand for a high-quality desktop socket.

[0029] To enhance the aesthetics of the desktop socket, a decorative layer 14 is covered on the surface of the cover plate 12. The edge of the decorative layer 14 has a buckle 141, which engages with the edge of the cover plate 12 to fix the decorative layer 14 to the surface of the cover plate 12. The decorative layer 14 may be made of metal, and the buckle 141 is formed by bending.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The end of the strip-shaped housing 1 is fixed with an end shell 4. The end shell 4 is provided with a through-hole 41. When installed and used, the through-hole 41 can allow the cable that needs to pass through the desktop to pass through, thereby simplifying the wiring process and avoiding the problems of exposed cables or the need for additional holes in traditional wiring methods, making the desktop neater and more beautiful.

[0031] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the upper part of the end shell 4 is provided with an openable cover 42. When the cover 42 is closed, it covers part of the upper port of the cable passage cavity 41, and the other part of the upper port of the cable passage cavity 41 serves as the cable passage hole 43. With this configuration, when the cable is threaded, the cover 42 is opened to fully open the upper port of the cable passage cavity 41, so that the cable can easily pass through the cable passage cavity 41. After the cable is threaded, the cover 42 is closed to cover part of the upper port of the cable passage cavity 41, so that the cable passes through the cable passage hole 43, which further improves the overall aesthetics.

[0033] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The end shell 4 is provided with a receiving cavity 45 for storing the face cover 42. The receiving cavity 45 is arranged adjacent to the wire passage cavity 41. The receiving cavity 45 has an upper opening for the face cover 42 to be inserted. After the face cover 42 is fully opened, the face cover 42 can be placed into the receiving cavity 45 through the upper opening and stored.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3The cover plate 12 is provided with mounting holes, and a switch 5 is installed in the mounting holes. The switch 5 can control the total power supply of the desktop socket, thereby controlling the power on and off of all socket modules. Preferably, the switch 5 is an illuminated switch. An illuminated switch can provide visible light indication in a dark environment, helping users to quickly find the switch and improving ease of use. For example, the illuminated switch can be an existing illuminated switch on the market, or it can be a conventional switch with a light source. The light source can be composed of a light guide ring and LED beads, and the light emitted by the LED beads is guided out through the light guide ring.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 3 A U-shaped clip 6 is fixed to the bottom of the strip-shaped housing 1. The bottom end of the U-shaped clip 6 is fixed to the bottom wall of the strip-shaped housing 1, and its two arms are located on both sides of the strip-shaped housing 1 and extend upward. The edge of the cover plate 12 protrudes from the side of the bottom housing 11. When installing the desktop socket, it is placed into the hole in the desktop, so that the edge of the cover plate 12 overlaps the upper edge of the hole. Then, the U-shaped clip 6 is fixed to the bottom of the strip-shaped housing 1. The upper ends of the two arms of the U-shaped clip 6 press against the desktop, thereby reliably fixing the desktop socket on the desktop.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fastener 3 is a sheet metal part; the support plate 32 is provided with a fixing hole 31, and the bottom shell 11 has a screw through hole 13 that is opposite to the fixing hole 31 through the side wall. The fixing screw is used to pass through the screw through hole 13 and cooperate with the fixing hole 31, thereby realizing the tight fixation of the fastener 3 and the bottom shell 11.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, several socket modules 2 are fixedly connected to the cover plate 12 by the fixing member 3, such as by fixing the socket modules 2 to the fixing member 12 with screws or buckles; several socket modules 2 are snapped and fixed to the bottom shell 11, such as by setting buckles on the socket modules 2 and setting snap protrusions in the bottom shell 11 to engage with the buckles, and the buckles and snap protrusions engage to fix the socket modules 2; during assembly, some socket modules 2 are fixed to the cover plate 12 and some socket modules 2 are fixed to the bottom shell 11, and then the cover plate 12 and the bottom shell 11 are fixedly connected.

[0038] For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this invention still fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
