Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building electrical facilities technology, specifically a suspended functional column for office and laboratory settings, which integrates hidden sockets and electrical management functions to achieve safe and concealed layout and intelligent management of electrical facilities. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional functional columns (such as those in laboratories and office areas) often have exposed sockets, posing a risk of electric shock due to accidental contact. The exposed sockets and cables are also susceptible to damage from impacts and liquid splashes, and the tangled cables can easily trip people. These safety hazards are particularly pronounced in high-traffic office and laboratory settings (such as R&D labs and open-plan office areas). Exposed sockets and cables also disrupt the cleanliness of the space, contradicting the minimalist design requirements of modern offices and laboratories. This is especially problematic in high-end laboratories and exhibition halls where aesthetics are paramount, requiring additional decorative coverings that increase costs and construction complexity. Furthermore, ordinary functional columns lack specific dustproof, moisture-proof, and fireproof designs, making them prone to electrical malfunctions due to environmental corrosion in humid laboratory environments and fire-prone office settings, thus shortening equipment lifespan.

[0003] Therefore, a suspended functional column needs to be designed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve the problems of scattered and exposed electrical sockets affecting aesthetics in existing office, commercial or public spaces, space-consuming and messy wiring on ground columns, and inconvenient electrical safety management. It provides an integrated, concealed, and suspended functional column that enables orderly storage, flexible adaptation and safe power supply of electrical components, while saving ground space and improving space utilization and overall aesthetics.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a suspension functional column, the specific technical solution of which is as follows: The suspended functional column includes the main body of the functional column, the concealed socket assembly, the suspension connection structure and the electrical management module. The various parts work together to achieve integrated electrical supply and space optimization functions.

[0006] Furthermore, the main body of the functional column is a hollow vertical cabinet structure, creating an internal space to conceal electrical components such as sockets, preventing them from being exposed and affecting aesthetics. The entire structure is made of aluminum alloy or steel profiles, with surface oxidation or powder coating, and an outer surface with a fire-retardant and wear-resistant coating, ensuring both durability and safety. The sides also integrate cable inlet channels and gas terminal interfaces. The cable inlet channels are used for external electrical cable entry, while the gas terminal interfaces have separate gas lines from the electrical cables to avoid interference between different lines. In addition, the interior of the main body features a cable management channel with a U-shaped structure and clips. The cables for the concealed socket components can be inserted into the channel and secured with the clips, effectively preventing cable tangling and keeping the interior tidy.

[0007] Furthermore, the concealed socket assembly is located inside the main body of the functional column, including at least one set of modular sockets and matching cables. The modular sockets feature a modular design, integrating a standard five-hole socket and a USB charging port, compatible with various devices such as mobile phones, computers, and printers. They are installed inside the main body via mounting rails and can slide laterally along the rails to adjust their position, meeting power needs in different scenarios. The modular sockets are concealed by an openable concealed door that fits the side of the functional column main body. The concealed door uses the same material as the main body and features reinforcing ribs to enhance structural strength. When closed, it is flush with the outer surface of the main body, and a sealing strip is provided between the door and the main body, providing dust and moisture protection while ensuring aesthetics and enhanced protection.

[0008] Furthermore, the suspension connection structure is located at the top of the functional column body and is used to connect and fix the functional column to the building top or suspension bracket, realizing suspended installation to save ground space. It includes a top connecting plate and an adjustable track. The top connecting plate is welded and fixed to the top of the functional column body. One end of the adjustable track is connected to the top connecting plate, and the other end is provided with a connector adapted to the building top or suspension bracket. By adjusting the track length and connection position, it can flexibly adapt to the installation requirements of different building structures.

[0009] Furthermore, the electrical management module is integrated within the main functional column, with its core comprising a power distribution circuit and an overload protection device, providing centralized management of the power supply to the concealed socket components. The overload protection device utilizes an intelligent circuit breaker, featuring current monitoring, short-circuit protection, and automatic overload disconnection, enabling real-time monitoring of power usage. Simultaneously, it connects to mobile terminals via a wireless communication module (supporting Bluetooth and Wi-Fi), allowing users to remotely view power data and control socket on / off states, achieving intelligent power management and significantly improving electrical safety.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: In this utility model, the suspended functional column achieves the following effects: 1. The concealed socket assembly stores the socket and cables inside the functional column, shielded by a hidden door, reducing the risk of accidental contact; sealing strips and fire-resistant and wear-resistant coatings form a protective system to resist liquid splashes and dust intrusion, reducing electrical faults caused by environmental corrosion in laboratory settings; 2. When the hidden door is closed, it is flush with the outer surface of the functional column, and the cables are stored in the cable tray, eliminating the clutter of exposed cables, improving the cleanliness of the space, and is suitable for high-end laboratories and exhibition halls with high aesthetic requirements, reducing additional decoration costs; 3. The intelligent circuit breaker realizes current monitoring, short-circuit protection, and automatic overload power-off, and combined with the wireless communication module, it supports remote viewing of power consumption data and control of sockets. 4. The suspension connection structure enables the functional column to be suspended and installed via a top connecting plate and adjustable rails, eliminating reliance on the ground and making it suitable for spaces with high ceilings and flexible floor space utilization (such as laboratories where experimental equipment is frequently moved); the modular sockets slide and adjust along the guide rails, allowing for dynamic adjustment of socket positions according to equipment layout, reducing post-installation adjustment costs; 5. The main body of the functional column is made of aluminum alloy / steel profiles, with surface oxidation / powder coating, combined with fire-resistant and wear-resistant coatings and sealing strips, extending the service life of the equipment by 2-3 times in humid and high-temperature environments, and reducing the number of annual failures due to insufficient protection in laboratory settings from 2-3 times to ≤1 time.
