[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 4 The combined power strip provided in this embodiment includes a power strip body 100 and a base 200.

[0034] The power strip body 100 has a plug-in component at one end. The base 200 supports the power strip body 100 and has a plug-in portion adapted to the plug-in component. The power strip body 100 is inserted into the base 200, and the bottom surface of the base 200 is an arc-shaped structure to form a self-righting structure with the power strip body 100. The center of gravity of the self-righting structure is on the base 200.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main body 100 of the power strip is provided with multiple sockets. When using the combined power strip provided in this embodiment, the plug of the appliance can be inserted into the socket to provide power to the appliance.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the plug-in portion at the top of the power strip body 100 and the base 200 are connected by a plug-in joint. After the power strip body 100 and the base 200 are plugged in, they form an integrated self-righting structure, with the center of gravity of the self-righting structure located on the base 200. Under this structure, the arc design and center of gravity position of the base 200 ensure that the power strip remains stable at any angle. When the combined power strip is subjected to external force collision or contact, the self-righting structure can maintain dynamic balance, sway in the direction of the external force, and achieve self-balancing and return to its original state when tilted, avoiding damage to the power strip body 100, thereby improving the safety of electricity use and the flexibility of use.

[0037] In this embodiment, the plug-in assembly includes a plug member extending in a direction away from the power strip body 100. The plug portion includes a plug groove 210. The plug member is inserted into and detachably connected to the plug groove 210.

[0038] The plug-in and plug slot 210 can achieve a stable connection between the power strip body 100 and the base 200, and the usage mode of the power strip can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. Different types of bases 200 can be replaced under different usage conditions, or the base 200 can be replaced by a spare base 200 when cleaning and maintaining the base 200. Disassembly is convenient and the use is more flexible.

[0039] In this embodiment, the side wall of the connector is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 110 extending circumferentially along the connector. A first snap-fit ​​member is provided on the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 210. The snap-fit ​​groove 110 is adapted to the first snap-fit ​​member. The connector is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 210 and rotated to make the first snap-fit ​​member snap into the snap-fit ​​groove 110.

[0040] When connecting the base 200 to the power strip body 100, align the connector with the insertion slot 210 on the base 200 and insert it. During insertion, the snap-fit ​​slot 110 of the connector initially contacts the inner wall of the insertion slot 210. After the connector is fully inserted, rotate the connector, and the snap-fit ​​slot 110 in the insertion slot 210 gradually aligns with the first snap-fit ​​on the inner wall of the insertion slot 210 and achieves snap-fit.

[0041] Once the connector is fully inserted into the connector slot 210, a locking mechanism is established, ensuring that the power strip body 100 will not easily come loose. In this embodiment, the base 200 and the power strip body 100 are locked together again after insertion, which ensures the connection strength between the connector and the connector slot 210, preventing loosening or detachment due to external forces. Installation and disassembly can be completed with simple insertion and rotation, making the operation simple and efficient.

[0042] In this embodiment, a first limiting block 111 and a second limiting block 112 are provided on the side wall of the connector at intervals along the axial direction of the connector. The first limiting block 111 and the second limiting block 112 together with the side wall of the connector form a snap-fit ​​groove 110.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​groove 110 is formed by the first limiting block 111, the second limiting block 112 and the side wall of the plug-in, so that after the plug-in is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 210, it can be rotated to achieve a stable snap-fit ​​with the first snap-fit ​​on the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 210.

[0044] In this embodiment, the inner wall of one or both sides of the snap-fit ​​groove 110 is inclined from the groove opening to the groove bottom.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​groove 110 has a gradually widening structure from the bottom to the opening, so that the first snap-fit ​​member can enter the snap-fit ​​groove 110 more accurately and easily.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the width of the bottom of the snap-fit ​​groove 110 is the same as the thickness of the end of the first snap-fit ​​member. When the first snap-fit ​​member is fully inserted into the bottom of the snap-fit ​​groove 110, the end of the first snap-fit ​​member abuts against the bottom of the snap-fit ​​groove 110, and the side wall of the end of the first snap-fit ​​member is in close contact with the inner side wall of the bottom of the groove. This increases the friction between the first snap-fit ​​member and the snap-fit ​​groove 110, thereby achieving a self-locking effect and preventing the connector from accidentally coming loose.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first snap-fit ​​component includes snap-fit ​​blocks 211, and there are multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 211. The multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 211 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the snap-fit ​​groove 110, and the gap length between two adjacent snap-fit ​​blocks 211 is greater than the length of the snap-fit ​​groove 110.

[0048] Multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 211 are spaced apart circumferentially along the snap-fit ​​groove 110, thereby ensuring that the snap-fit ​​groove 110 can be aligned with the snap-fit ​​blocks 211 and snap-fit ​​during rotation.

[0049] Furthermore, the gap length between two adjacent snap-fit ​​blocks 211 is greater than the length of the snap-fit ​​groove 110. With this structure, it is possible to prevent the snap-fit ​​groove 110 from being unable to pass through the gap between the two snap-fit ​​blocks 211 when the connector is inserted, which would prevent the snap-fit ​​block 211 from reaching the opening of the snap-fit ​​groove 110, thereby reducing operational difficulties caused by size mismatch.

[0050] In this embodiment, a third limiting block 120 is also provided on the side wall of the connector. The third limiting block 120 and the snap-fit ​​groove 110 are spaced apart along the circumference of the connector. When the snap-fit ​​groove 110 snaps into any snap-fit ​​block 211, the top surface of the third limiting block 120 abuts against the side of the other snap-fit ​​block 211 near the snap-fit ​​groove 210.

[0051] Specifically, when the connector is inserted and rotated to the locked position, the third limiting block 120 contacts another locking block 211, and the top surface of the third limiting block 120 will adhere to and abut against the side of the other locking block 211 near the connector slot 210, thereby further enhancing the connection strength between the connector and the connector slot 210.

[0052] In this embodiment, the thickness of the third limiting block 120 gradually decreases from the end closer to the connector to the end farther away from the connector.

[0053] The tapered structure of the third limiting block 120 can guide the third limiting block 120 when it comes into contact with the snap-fit ​​block 211, making it easier for the third limiting block 120 to enter the contact area of ​​the snap-fit ​​block 211 and reducing the resistance during installation.

[0054] Furthermore, when the third limiting block 120 is fully abutted against the locking block 211, its thicker bottom part abuts against the locking block 211, thereby increasing the contact area and friction with the locking block 211, thus achieving a self-locking effect and improving the stability of the connection.

[0055] In this embodiment, there are two locking blocks 211. The two locking blocks 211 are evenly and spaced apart along the circumference of the insertion groove 210. The third limiting block 120 and the locking groove 110 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the insertion member.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the two snap-fit ​​blocks 211 are symmetrically arranged within the insertion slot 210. Conversely, the third limiting block 120 and the snap-fit ​​slot 110 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connector. In this structure, the positions of the third limiting block 120 and the snap-fit ​​slot 110 are opposite to the positions of the two snap-fit ​​blocks 211. When the snap-fit ​​slot 110 engages with one of the snap-fit ​​blocks 211, the third limiting block 120 abuts against the other snap-fit ​​block 211.

[0057] Furthermore, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the end of the snap-fit ​​block 211 is provided with a limiting portion. (See also...) Figure 4 The limiting block is located on the top surface of the snap-fit ​​block 211 and has an outward convex structure. When the snap-fit ​​groove 110 rotates to engage with the snap-fit ​​block 211 and snap into place, the groove wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 110 abuts against the limiting part to prevent excessive rotation and thus prevent the snap-fit ​​groove 110 from falling off the snap-fit ​​block 211.

[0058] As an alternative approach, the limiting part can also be located on the bottom surface of the snap-fit ​​block 211, which can also achieve the limiting effect.

[0059] In this embodiment, the modular power strip also includes a switch 130. The switch 130 penetrates the connector circumferentially. The bottom of the connector slot 210 is provided with a clearance hole 212, and the position of the clearance hole 212 is opposite to the position of the switch 130.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the switch 130 penetrates the connector circumferentially so that the switch 130 can be operated directly from the outside during use, making operation more convenient.

[0061] Furthermore, the bottom of the insertion slot 210 can prevent the switch 130 from interfering with the bottom of the insertion slot 210 during insertion and rotation, so that the connector can be smoothly inserted and locked. At the same time, the switch 130 is located in the clearance hole 212 under normal conditions, which can protect the switch 130.

[0062] 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.
