Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of socket technology, and in particular relates to a dedicated extension cord socket for server racks. Background Technology

[0002] A socket is a type of outlet into which one or more circuit wires can be inserted. Various wires can be inserted through it to facilitate connection with other circuits. The connection and disconnection of the circuit is achieved by connecting and disconnecting the wires and copper components.

[0003] Patent application CN202020369855.2 discloses an extension cord socket, including an extension cord and plugs and a power strip disposed at both ends of the extension cord. The power strip has at least one working position, and each working position has a socket with a conductive plate inside. The power strip has a mounting protrusion located next to the working position, and a cover plate is pivotally connected to the mounting protrusion. The end face of the cover plate facing the power strip has non-conductive pins that are inserted into the sockets. This utility model has the advantage of good waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0004] The aforementioned technology effectively prevents dust from falling into the socket through the cover, providing protection and a degree of waterproofing. However, it still has some shortcomings in overall use:

[0005] First, the extension cord on the socket is connected to the socket in a fixed manner. During use, the extension cord is often twisted, causing a twisted state at the connection between the extension cord and the socket body. This makes the outer sheath at this point prone to breakage, exposing the internal wires and creating a safety hazard. Second, after the extension cord is twisted, it cannot be fixed in place. Therefore, the extension cord will return to its original position due to the elastic relationship between the outer anti-conductive sheath and the internal wires. This repeated elastic deformation and twisting also makes the outer sheath of the extension cord more prone to breakage, further exposing the internal wires. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a dedicated extension cord socket for server racks. A rotating component connects the socket body to the extension cord. This rotating component rotates with the socket body, allowing the extension cord to rotate relative to the socket body. The extension cord can be adjusted to different rotation angles according to usage needs, preventing the extension cord's outer sheath from breaking due to forced twisting during use, thus protecting the extension cord and improving the socket's safety.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cabinet-specific extension cord socket, comprising a socket body, an extension cord, and a plug; one end of the extension cord is electrically connected to a socket inside the socket body, and the other end is electrically connected to the plug; a rotating component is provided between the socket body and the extension cord, the rotating component is rotatably engaged with the socket body, and the rotating component can drive the extension cord to rotate relative to the socket body.

[0008] Optionally, the outer shell of the socket body has a through hole. A rotating component extends into the socket body through the through hole and can rotate around the axis of the through hole. The corresponding wire core of the extension cord passes through the rotating component and extends into the socket body, where it is electrically connected to the corresponding conductive electrode of the socket body. The rotating component extending into the socket body through the through hole and rotating around its axis allows the extension cord to rotate relative to the socket body, protecting the extension cord and improving the safety of the socket.

[0009] Optionally, the rotating component includes a fixed ring fixedly disposed within the socket body and a rotating ring fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the extension cord. One end of the rotating ring has a protruding ring, which is inserted into the fixed ring and rotates in cooperation with it. The protruding ring enhances the stability of the rotating ring during rotation, thereby ensuring that the extension cord rotates more smoothly and steadily.

[0010] Optionally, the rotating component also includes a first connecting ring fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating ring. A support plate is fixedly installed inside the socket body. The first connecting ring is rotatably mounted on the support plate. The first connecting ring has several stop grooves, and the support plate has stop levers that cooperate with the stop grooves. When the rotating ring is rotated by the extension cord at a certain angle, the stop lever will engage with one of the stop grooves, fixing the rotating ring and preventing the extension cord from rotating. This fixes the extension cord and allows the desired operating angle to be achieved.

[0011] Optionally, the rotating component further includes a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the socket body. The first and second limiting plates are symmetrically arranged and located at opposite ends of the rotating ring. A second connecting ring is fixedly mounted on the rotating ring, and the second connecting ring abuts against the first or second limiting plate by rotating the rotating ring. Using the first and second limiting plates prevents the extension cable from being forcibly twisted due to continuous rotation of the rotating component in one direction, which could cause breakage and affect the lifespan of the socket.

[0012] Optionally, the rotating component is equipped with a locking element to prevent accidental rotation of the extension cord. The fixed ring has a first annular groove, and the rotating ring has a second annular groove corresponding to the first annular groove. When the locking element is located in the first and second annular grooves respectively, it locks the rotating ring; when the locking element is located in the first annular groove, it unlocks the rotating ring. This effectively prevents accidental contact with the extension cord, which could cause it to rotate and malfunction the equipment.

[0013] Optionally, a third connecting ring for driving the locking member to move is provided at one end. One end of the third connecting ring is fixedly connected to the second annular portion, and the other end of the third connecting ring extends outside the rotating ring. A pressure plate is provided on the third connecting ring. The pressure plate and the third connecting ring facilitate the operation of the equipment and improve convenience.

[0014] Optionally, the fixing ring has a third annular groove that communicates with the first annular groove. The third annular groove contains a first damper, and the first damper has a first spring. One end of the first spring is connected to the locking member.

[0015] Optionally, the rotating ring has a groove, and a slider is installed in the groove. One end of the slider is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the third connecting ring. The slider provides stability for the movement of the third connecting ring.

[0016] Optionally, a wall-mounting plate is provided on the rear side of the socket body, and a wall-mounting hole is provided on the wall-mounting plate.

[0017] In summary, compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: (1) The socket body is connected to the extension cord by a rotating part. The rotating part and the socket body rotate together. The outer shell of the socket body has a through hole. The rotating part extends into the socket body through the through hole and can rotate around the axis of the through hole, so that the extension cord can rotate relative to the socket body with the rotating part. The extension cord can rotate according to the usage requirements, avoiding the extension cord from being broken due to forced twisting during use, thus protecting the extension cord and improving the safety of the socket. (2) When the extension line drives the rotating ring to rotate at a certain angle, the gear lever will be inserted into one of the gear slots to fix the rotating ring, so that the extension line can no longer rotate, thereby fixing the extension line and obtaining the required operating angle.

[0018] (3) When the extension line is in the initial position, the arc groove of the first limiting plate abuts against the outer wall of the second connecting ring; when the extension line is in the rotation limit position, the arc groove of the second limiting plate abuts against the outer wall of the second connecting ring. Since the rotating part is located on the side of the socket body, depending on the usage situation, the rotating part only needs to rotate back and forth within a 180° range. Therefore, the use of the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate can prevent the extension line from being forcibly twisted due to continuous rotation of the rotating part in one direction, causing breakage and affecting the service life of the socket.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] refer to Figure 1-9A cabinet-specific extension cord socket includes a socket body 1, an extension cord 2, and a plug 3. One end of the extension cord 2 is connected to the socket body 1, and the corresponding wire core inside the extension cord 2 is electrically connected to the corresponding conductive electrode of the socket body 1. The other end is connected to the plug 3. A rotating component 4 is provided between the socket body 1 and the extension cord 2. The socket body 1 and the extension cord 2 are connected by the rotating component 4, which rotates in conjunction with the socket body 1. A through hole is provided on the outer shell of the socket body 1, through which the rotating component 4 extends into the socket body 1. The rotating component 4 can rotate around the axis of the through hole, so that the extension cord 2 can rotate relative to the socket body 1 with the rotating component 4. The extension cord 2 can rotate at an adjustable angle according to usage requirements, avoiding the safety hazard caused by the forced twisting of the extension cord 2's outer sheath during use, thus protecting the extension cord 2 and improving the safety of the socket.

[0023] refer to Figure 7 The outer shell of the socket body 1 includes an upper cover 5 and a bottom cover 6. The upper cover 5 and the bottom cover 6 are detachably connected, and the through hole is formed after the upper cover 5 and the bottom cover 6 are closed. The through hole is located on the side of the socket body 1, which facilitates the packaging and transportation of the socket and saves space.

[0024] refer to Figure 3-6 8-9, The rotating component 4 includes a fixed frame 7, a fixed ring 8, and a rotating ring 9. The fixed frame 7 is bolted to the inner wall of the bottom cover 6. The fixed ring 8 is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 7. The rotating ring 9 is fixedly sleeved on the extension line 2, with one end of the rotating ring 9 inserted into the fixed ring 8 and rotatably engaging with it. The rotating ring 9 has a protruding ring 10, and the fixed ring 8 has a groove 11. The protruding ring 10 is embedded in the groove 11 and rotatably engages with it. The protruding ring 10 enhances the stability of the rotating ring 9 during rotation, thus ensuring that the extension line 2 rotates more smoothly and steadily.

[0025] The rotating component 4 also includes a first connecting ring 12 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating ring 9. A support plate 13 is fixedly mounted on the bottom cover 6, and the support plate 13 is detachably connected to the bottom cover 6. The first connecting ring 12 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 13, thus supporting the rotating ring 9 and improving its rotational stability. Simultaneously, several evenly distributed stop grooves 14 are formed on the first connecting ring 12, and stop levers 15 that cooperate with the stop grooves 14 are provided on the support plate 13. The stop levers 15 have a certain degree of elasticity and can be made of rubber. When the rotating ring 9 is rotated to a certain angle by the extension line 2, the stop lever 15 will engage with one of the stop grooves 14, fixing the rotating ring 9 and preventing the extension line 2 from rotating. This fixes the extension line 2 and allows for the desired operating angle. These angles can be 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, or 180°.

[0026] The rotating component 4 also includes a first limiting plate 16 and a second limiting plate 17 fixedly mounted on the bottom cover 6. The first limiting plate 16 and the second limiting plate 17 are symmetrically arranged, and a rotating ring 9 is located between the first limiting plate 16 and the second limiting plate 17. A second connecting ring 18 is fixedly mounted on the rotating ring 9, and the second connecting ring 18 is semi-circular. An arc-shaped groove that mates with the outer wall of the second connecting ring 18 is provided at one end of both the first limiting plate 16 and the second limiting plate 17. Rotation of the rotating ring 9 causes the second connecting ring 18 to abut against either the first limiting plate 16 or the second limiting plate 17. This allows the extension line 2 to have an initial position and a rotational limit position; when the extension line 2 is in the initial position, the arc-shaped groove of the first limiting plate 16 abuts against the outer wall of the second connecting ring 18; when the extension line 2 is in the rotational limit position, the arc-shaped groove of the second limiting plate 17 abuts against the outer wall of the second connecting ring 18. Since the rotating part 4 is located on the side of the socket body 1, depending on the usage, the rotating part 4 only needs to rotate back and forth within a 180° range. Therefore, the use of the first limiting plate 16 and the second limiting plate 17 can prevent the extension line 2 from being forcibly twisted due to the continuous rotation of the rotating part 4 in one direction, which would cause it to break and affect the service life of the socket.

[0027] refer to Figure 3-6 8-9. The rotating component 4 is equipped with a locking component 19, which can effectively prevent accidental contact with the extension cable 2, causing the extension cable 2 to rotate and resulting in the equipment malfunctioning. Specifically, the fixed ring 8 has a first annular groove 20, and the rotating ring 9 has a second annular groove 21 corresponding to the first annular groove 20. The inner diameter of the first annular groove 20 is larger than the inner diameter of the second annular groove 21, and the depth of the first annular groove 20 is greater than the depth of the second annular groove 21. The locking component 19 is movable within the first annular groove 20 and the second annular groove 21. When the locking component 19 is simultaneously located within the first annular groove 20 and the second annular groove 21, the locking component 19 locks the rotating ring 9, and the extension cable 2 cannot rotate; when the locking component 19 is located within the first annular groove 20, the locking component 19 unlocks the rotating ring 9, and the extension cable 2 can rotate to adjust its angle.

[0028] The locking member 19 includes a first annular portion 22 and a second annular portion 23. The diameter of the first annular portion 22 is larger than that of the second annular portion 23. The sum of the thicknesses of the first annular portion 22 and the second annular portion 23 is equal to the depth of the first annular groove 20. The first annular portion 22 has several evenly distributed first toothed grooves 24, and the first annular groove 20 has several evenly distributed first locking teeth 25, which can engage with the first toothed grooves 24. The second annular portion 23 has several evenly distributed second toothed grooves 26, and the second annular groove 21 has several evenly distributed second locking teeth 27, which can engage with the second toothed grooves 26. The first locking teeth 25 and the second locking teeth 27 are staggered. When the locking member 19 is located within the first annular groove 20, the first locking teeth 25 engage with the first toothed grooves 24 for transmission, providing a more stable transmission for the rotation of the extension line 2. When the locking member 19 is located in the first annular groove 20 and the second annular groove 21, the second locking tooth 27 and the second tooth groove 26 are locked together, preventing the extension line 2 from rotating.

[0029] The rotating ring 9 has a through groove 28 that communicates with the second annular groove 21. A third connecting ring 29 slides within the through groove 28. One end of the third connecting ring 29 is fixedly connected to the second annular portion 23, and the other end extends outside the rotating ring 9. A pressure plate 30 is provided on the third connecting ring 29. The fixed ring 8 has a third annular groove 31 that communicates with the first annular groove 20. A first damper 32 is provided within the third annular groove 31. The first damper 32 is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon in this solution. A first spring 33 is provided on the first damper 32, and one end of the first spring 33 is connected to the end face of the first annular portion 22. When it is necessary to rotate the extension line 2, the pressure plate 30 is pressed first. The pressure plate 30 moves through the third connecting ring 29, which drives the locking member 19 to move into the first annular groove 20, thereby unlocking the rotating ring 9 and realizing the rotation of the extension line 2. Simultaneously, the pressure plate 30 and the third connecting ring 29 facilitate the operation of the equipment and improve convenience. Under the action of the first spring 33, the locking member 19 is reset, ensuring that when the extension line 2 does not need to be rotated, the locking member 19 can be accurately and stably located in the first annular groove 20 and the second annular groove 21 to lock the rotating ring 9.

[0030] A groove 34 is provided on the rotating ring 9, and a slider 35 is installed inside the groove 34. One end of the slider 35 is fixedly connected to the third connecting ring 29. A second damper 36 is also installed on the inner wall of the groove 34. The second damper 36 is existing technology and will not be described in detail in this solution. A second spring 37 is provided at one end of the second damper 36, and one end of the second spring 37 is connected to the side wall of the slider 35. The movement of the third connecting ring 29 is stabilized by the action of the slider 35.

[0031] refer to Figure 1-2A wall-mounting plate 38 is rotatably mounted on the rear side of the socket body 1, and the wall-mounting plate 38 has a wall-mounting hole 39. In use, the wall-mounting plate 38 rotates outward, exposing the wall-mounting hole 39, allowing it to be fixed to the wall using external fasteners (such as screws), thus fixing the entire socket body 1 to the wall. When not in use, the wall-mounting plate 38 rotates inward and is hidden behind the socket body 1, thus not affecting the appearance of the socket body 1. As a preferred embodiment, the rear side of the socket body 1 has a notch corresponding to the wall-mounting plate 38, so that when the wall-mounting plate 38 is hidden behind the socket body 1, it fits precisely into the notch, making it flush with the rear side of the socket body 1. Furthermore, to prevent the wall-mounting plate 38 from easily rotating outward after being retracted, a positioning structure is provided between the wall-mounting plate 38 and the notch. In this embodiment, two wall-mounting plates 38 are provided, located at opposite ends of the rear side of the socket body 1.
