[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 3 The power strip base provided in this embodiment includes a base body 100.

[0033] The base body 100 includes a support portion 110 and an alignment portion 120. The support portion 110 is located at the bottom of the base body 100, ensuring that the base body 100 remains flat when the support portion 110 is placed on a plane. The centers of gravity of the support portion 110 and the base body 100 are vertically aligned and on the same straight line. The alignment portion 120 surrounds the support portion 110 and is connected to it. The alignment portion 120 tilts upwards from the bottom towards the center of the base body 100. The center of gravity of the base body 100 is located in the lower half of the base body 100, allowing it to automatically return to a flat position along the alignment portion 120 when tilted.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the base body 100 is used to support the power strip.

[0035] When the base body 100 is placed on a flat surface, the support part 110 contacts the surface to keep the base body 100 in a static and stable flat position. When the power strip or the base body 100 is subjected to an external force, the base body 100 tilts due to the force. At this time, the setting of the support part 110, the alignment part 120, and the center of gravity makes the base body 100 form a "roly-poly structure". Under the action of its own weight, the base body 100 sways along the alignment part 120 to restore the base body 100 to the flat position where the support part 110 contacts the surface.

[0036] It should be noted that the flat position mentioned above refers to the stable placement of the base body 100. When the base body 100 is placed on a flat surface, the support part 110, as the load-bearing structure of the base body 100, abuts against the surface. In the flat position, the power strip base remains stationary and stable when not subjected to external forces.

[0037] The power strip base provided in this embodiment constructs a dynamic stability system with self-resetting function through the coordinated optimization of the geometric configuration of the support part 110 and the alignment part 120 with the mass distribution of the base body 100, thus preventing the base body 100 from tipping over after being subjected to external forces. When supporting a power strip, it can prevent the power strip supported on the base body 100 from tipping over or falling, thereby ensuring electrical safety and enabling the power strip to be used in various scenarios, improving the flexibility of power strip use.

[0038] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the support part 110 is a near-planar support structure, which can ensure that the power strip base is set up stably when it is in a flat position. In addition, the connection between the support part 110 and the near-flat section 121 is a rounded transition, so that when the power strip base is shaken to return to a flat position, it can smoothly flip along the near-flat section 121 until the support part 110 abuts against the plane that supports the power strip base.

[0039] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the alignment part 120 has an arc-shaped structure. The alignment part 120 includes a near-flat section 121 and a far-flat section 122. The near-flat section 121 is connected to the support part 110, and the far-flat section 122 is connected to the end of the near-flat section 121 that is away from the support part 110. The curvature of the near-flat section 121 is less than the curvature of the far-flat section 122.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the near-flat section 121 is connected to the support portion 110 and has a smaller curvature, making the portion of the base body 100 near the bottom closer to a plane. The far-flat section 122, however, has a larger curvature and is closer to the vertical direction. With this structure, when the base body 100 tilts, it sways along the alignment portion 120 of the curved surface structure under its own weight to return to a flat position. The curved surface structure allows the base body 100 to recover more smoothly and gradually during the recovery process.

[0041] The near-horizontal section 121 has a smaller curvature, so when the base body 100 experiences slight shaking, the recovery process of the base body 100 is relatively slow and the movement is relatively gentle. On the other hand, the far-horizontal section 122 has a larger curvature, so when the tilt angle of the base body 100 is larger, the amplitude and speed of the shaking along the far-horizontal section 122 are larger, which can accelerate the recovery process of the base body 100.

[0042] In this embodiment, the base body 100 includes a first housing 130 and a second housing 140. The first housing 130 covers the second housing 140 and is detachably connected to the second housing 140. The support part 110 and the alignment part 120 are both located in the second housing 140.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the base body 100 is composed of a first shell 130 and a second shell 140 connected together, and the split structure is simpler to manufacture.

[0044] The first housing 130 is capable of carrying or supporting an item. In this embodiment, the power strip body 200 is disposed on the first housing 130, and the first housing 130 carries the power strip body 200. The first housing 130 and the second housing 140 can be detachably connected to each other via threads or snap fasteners 143.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the top of the second housing 140 is provided with a plurality of buckles 143 along the circumference of the second housing 140, and the bottom of the first housing 130 is provided with a plurality of locking blocks 133. The number of locking blocks 133 is the same as the number of buckles 143, and the positions of the plurality of locking blocks 133 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the plurality of buckles 143, so that when the first housing 130 is fastened to the second housing 140, the locking blocks 133 and the buckles 143 can cooperate to achieve a locking connection.

[0046] In this embodiment, the base body 100 also includes a counterweight 150. The counterweight 150 is disposed within the second housing 140.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the counterweight 150 is disposed inside the second housing 140 and located on the support 110, and the counterweight 150 has a relatively large weight. With this structure, the center of gravity of the base body 100 can be located close to the support 110, thereby ensuring that the base body 100 can be restored to a flat state under the action of the realignment part 120 after tilting.

[0048] In this embodiment, a positioning member 141 is provided inside the second housing 140. A positioning part is provided on the counterweight 150, and the positioning part cooperates with the positioning member 141 to determine the horizontal position of the counterweight 150 inside the second housing 140.

[0049] The positioning component 141 is adapted to the positioning part so that the horizontal position of the counterweight 150 in the second housing 140 can be kept fixed, and the counterweight 150 is prevented from shaking or moving laterally in the second housing 140, which would cause the center of gravity of the base body 100 to change.

[0050] In this embodiment, the positioning element 141 is a positioning post. The positioning post extends vertically, and multiple limiting parts are provided on the side wall of the positioning post along the circumference of the positioning post. The positioning part is a positioning hole 151 adapted to the limiting part, and the positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole 151.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the counterweight 150 is a ring-shaped structure with uniform texture. A positioning post is positioned within the second housing 140, and the axis of the positioning post and the center of gravity of the support portion 110 are aligned vertically. Similarly, the positioning hole 151 is located at the center of the counterweight 150, and the counterweight 150 is inserted into the positioning post through the positioning hole 151, thereby achieving horizontal positioning of the counterweight 150.

[0052] When the positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole 151, the limiting part can match the side wall of the positioning hole 151, so that the counterweight 150 of the ring structure will not rotate along the limiting post, further improving the stability of the counterweight 150.

[0053] In this embodiment, a limiting member 142 is also provided inside the second housing 140. The limiting member 142 is located on one side of the positioning member 141. The counterweight 150 is provided with a limiting hole 152, and the limiting member 142 is inserted into the limiting hole 152.

[0054] The limiting member 142 is disposed on one side of the positioning member 141 and is inserted into the limiting hole 152 on the counterweight 150. In this structure, the positioning post and the positioning hole 151 form a positioning structure, and the limiting member 142 and the limiting hole 152 are inserted to form a limiting structure. The combination of the positioning structure and the limiting structure can also limit the rotation of the counterweight 150.

[0055] In this embodiment, the height of the limiting member 142 is less than the height of the positioning post. The side wall of the limiting member 142 is provided with a side plate arranged circumferentially along the limiting member 142. The side plate extends horizontally in a direction away from the limiting member 142.

[0056] Furthermore, there are two limiting members 142 in this embodiment, which are respectively located on both sides of the positioning post. The combination structure of the two limiting members 142 and the positioning post can better realize the positioning and limiting of the counterweight 150.

[0057] Combination Figure 4 In this embodiment, an auxiliary positioning member 131 is provided inside the first housing 130. The auxiliary positioning member 131 is inserted into the positioning member 141.

[0058] Specifically, the auxiliary positioning component 131 in this embodiment is a tubular structure. The height of the positioning post in this embodiment is greater than the depth of the positioning hole 151. Therefore, after the counterweight 150 is installed in place, the top of the positioning post protrudes upward from the positioning hole 151. At this time, the first housing 130 can be placed on the second housing 140, the auxiliary positioning component 131 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning post, and the top of the positioning post is inserted into the auxiliary positioning component 131 again.

[0059] In this embodiment, the auxiliary positioning member 131 has an abutment portion 1311 arranged in a horizontal direction. The bottom end of the abutment portion 1311 abuts against the top end of the positioning member 141.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the abutment part 1311 is provided in the tube of the auxiliary positioning member 131. After the positioning post is inserted into the tube, the positioning post and the abutment part 1311 in the auxiliary positioning member 131 form an abutment structure to form a force point on the straight line where the axis of the positioning post is located, and then form a force transmission path on the straight line where the center of gravity of the roly-poly base is located. When an item is placed on the first housing 130, gravity can be transmitted along this force transmission path to avoid the center of gravity shifting after the item is placed on the roly-poly base.

[0061] One feasible approach is to make the distance between the top of the positioning post and the counterweight 150 equal to the insertion depth of the positioning post into the auxiliary positioning member 131. With the same structure, after the first housing 130 and the second housing 140 are fastened together, the bottom end of the auxiliary positioning member 131 abuts against the top surface of the counterweight 150, which can press the counterweight 150 and prevent the counterweight 150 from moving vertically along the positioning post and the limiting member 142.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the base body 100 has a connecting portion 132. The connecting portion 132 is used to connect and support items.

[0063] In this embodiment, the connecting part 132 is located at the center of the top surface of the first housing 130. Under this structure, when the base body 100 carries an item, the item is placed on the top surface of the first housing 130 and connected to the connecting part 132, which can ensure that the center of gravity of the base body 100 will not shift too much.

[0064] The connecting part 132 can use various connection structures such as slots, threads, and grooves to achieve connection with the carried item.

[0065] As an alternative approach, the connecting part 132 can also be a flat surface with an anti-slip structure, which supports the item while preventing the item from falling off the connecting part 132.

[0066] Combination Figure 5The power strip provided in this embodiment includes a power strip body 200 and a power strip base. The power strip body 200 has a connecting end 210, which is detachably connected to the base body 100.

[0067] In this embodiment, the connecting part 132 is a slot, and the connecting end 210 of the power strip body 200 is a plug-in component adapted to the slot. The side of the power strip body 200 with the connecting end 210 has an abutment plane, and the connecting end 210 protrudes outward from this abutment plane. During connection, the connecting end 210 of the power strip body 200 can be inserted into the slot. At this time, the abutment plane abuts and fits against the top surface of the first housing 130, thereby achieving the connection between the power strip body 200 and the base body 100.

[0068] After the power strip body 200 and the base body 100 are connected, the power strip body 200 and the power strip base form an integrated self-righting structure. Furthermore, the weight of the power strip body 200 is much less than that of the power strip base; therefore, the center of gravity of the integrated self-righting structure is on the second shell 140 of the base body 100. With this structure, when the power strip provided in this embodiment is subjected to external force, the self-righting structure can maintain dynamic balance and achieve self-balancing when tipped over, avoiding damage to the power strip body 200, thereby improving electrical safety and flexibility of use.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
