Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of energy-saving power strips, and in particular to an external induction energy-saving power strip. Background Technology

[0002] Energy conservation and emission reduction are concepts strongly advocated in today's society. In our daily use of electrical appliances, we unintentionally waste a lot of electricity. Even when appliances are turned off, they remain in standby mode and continue to consume power. For electronic products like computers, there are usually accompanying electronic devices such as heat sinks, fans, and lights. These devices need to remain operational while the computer is in use and can be turned off when the user leaves to save energy. However, users often forget to turn off the power switch, easily wasting electricity.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN205429333U, published on August 3, 2016, discloses an intelligent energy-saving power strip, comprising a power strip body. The power strip body has a display module placement slot, in which a display module is placed. The upper side of the power strip body has several grooves and a warning module. Each groove is divided into two interface slots by a partition. Symmetrical interface modules are located on both sides of the inner wall of each interface slot. The power strip body has a cavity and mounting holes communicating with the cavity. A power cord is placed in the mounting holes. The cavity contains a power metering module, a power supply module, a load energy-saving module, a voltage sensing module, and a control module. The power cord is electrically connected to the power supply module. The control module is electrically connected to the power metering module, power supply module, load energy-saving module, voltage sensing module, display module, warning module, and interface modules. One end of the control module is electrically connected to a control switch. The drawback of this invention is that the power strip regulates power based on voltage and load, and cannot automatically cut off power according to usage conditions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies that cannot perform energy-saving processing based on usage conditions, and provides an external sensor-type energy-saving power strip that can sense whether the user has left and thus save energy.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An external induction energy-saving power strip includes: A power strip body, on which a plug interface is installed; The sensor is electrically connected to the power strip body via a connector; The power strip body is equipped with a main socket and a secondary socket. A control panel is installed inside the power strip body. The control panel is electrically connected to the secondary socket, and the plug interface is electrically connected to the control panel.

[0006] The main body of the power strip is used for power supply. It connects to a sensor through the socket on the main body. The sensor detects whether there is a user in front of the computer, and then transmits the sensed electrical signal to the control panel of the main body. The control panel then controls whether the secondary socket provides power. The main socket on the main body is always powered. When the sensor detects that someone is in front of the computer, the control panel controls the secondary socket to provide power, which then powers the subsequent supporting devices. When the sensor detects that someone has left the computer for an extended period of time, the control panel controls the secondary socket to turn off the power, thus achieving energy-saving power supply. When the sensor detects that someone has returned, the secondary socket resumes power supply, achieving the purpose of sensing whether the user has left and thus saving energy.

[0007] Preferably, the sensor is equipped with an infrared sensor, and a circuit board is installed inside the sensor, with the circuit board electrically connected to the infrared sensor. The infrared sensor detects whether a person has left the area, while the circuit board inside receives and processes the infrared electrical signals. This design effectively detects whether a person has left.

[0008] Preferably, the sensor is equipped with an adapter that is electrically connected to the circuit board. A connecting wire is also installed on the sensor, with one end electrically connected to the adapter and the other end electrically connected to a connector. The sensor is connected to the power strip body via the connecting wire. One end of the connecting wire connects to the sensor through the adapter, and the other end connects to the power strip body through the connector. After connection, the electrical signal is processed by the circuit board and transmitted to the control panel via the connecting wire. The control panel then controls the power supply to the power strip. This design facilitates quick and easy sensor connection.

[0009] Preferably, the sensor is equipped with a switch button electrically connected to a circuit board, and an indicator light is also installed on the sensor and electrically connected to the circuit board. The sensor is switched on and off via the switch button, which is electrically connected to the circuit board. The circuit board controls the sensor, and the indicator light on the circuit board indicates whether the sensor is on or off. This design allows for the switching of the sensor.

[0010] Preferably, a suction cup is mounted on the bottom surface of the sensor, and the upper end of the suction cup is detachably connected to the sensor. When using the sensor, it needs to be fixed to a tabletop by attaching it to the tabletop using the suction cup mounted on the bottom surface of the sensor. The suction cup is detachably fixed to the sensor with screws, and the suction cup can be replaced. This design can secure the sensor.

[0011] Preferably, the power strip body is equipped with an electric control switch, and the control panel is equipped with a controller. The controller is electrically connected to the secondary socket and to the electric control switch. By installing the electric control switch on the power strip body, connecting it to the controller on the control panel, and connecting the electric control switch to the computer host, when the computer is turned on, power is supplied to the electric control switch via a wire, ensuring the switch is on. Then, the controller controls the secondary socket, linking its power supply to the computer host. When the computer host is turned off, the electric control switch is de-energized, and the controller then de-energizes the secondary socket, saving power to the accessories installed on the secondary socket. This design allows the computer and the power strip to be linked.

[0012] Preferably, the control panel is equipped with a main control light, which is electrically connected to the control panel. The control panel also has a secondary control light, which is electrically connected to the control panel. The main control light on the control panel indicates whether the main socket is powered, and the secondary control light indicates whether the secondary socket is powered. This design effectively indicates the power supply status of the power strip.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it can sense whether the user has left so as to save energy; it can detect whether the person has left; it can turn the sensor on and off; it can fix the sensor; it can associate the computer with the power strip; and it can indicate the power supply status of the power strip.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, an external induction energy-saving power strip includes: Power strip body 1, with plug interface 2 installed on power strip body 1; Sensor 3 is electrically connected to the power strip body 1 via connector 2; The main body 1 of the power strip is equipped with a main socket 4 and a secondary socket 5. The main body 1 is equipped with a control panel 6. The control panel 6 is electrically connected to the secondary socket 5, and the socket 2 is electrically connected to the control panel 6.

[0018] An infrared sensor 7 is installed on the sensor 3, and a circuit board 8 is installed inside the sensor 3. The circuit board 8 is electrically connected to the infrared sensor 3. An adapter 9 is installed on the sensor 3, and the adapter 9 is electrically connected to the circuit board 8. A connecting wire 10 is installed on the sensor 3. One end of the connecting wire 10 is electrically connected to the adapter 9, and the other end of the connecting wire 10 is electrically connected to the plug 2.

[0019] A switch button 11 is installed on the sensor 3, and the switch button 11 is electrically connected to the circuit board 8. An indicator light 12 is installed on the sensor 3, and the indicator light 12 is electrically connected to the circuit board 8.

[0020] A suction cup 13 is mounted on the bottom surface of the sensor 3, and the upper end of the suction cup 13 is detachably connected to the sensor 3.

[0021] An electric control switch 14 is installed on the main body 1 of the power strip, and a controller 15 is installed on the control panel 6. The controller 15 is electrically connected to the auxiliary socket 5 and the controller 15 is electrically connected to the electric control switch 14.

[0022] The control panel 6 is equipped with a main control light 16, which is electrically connected to the control panel 6. The control panel 6 is also equipped with a secondary control light 17, which is electrically connected to the control panel 6.

[0023] When using this energy-saving power strip, connect the computer to the main socket 4 of the power strip body 1, and power the computer through the main socket 4. Then fix the sensor 3 in front of the computer to sense the user, and connect the sensor 3 to the power strip body 1 through the connecting cable 10.

[0024] When the power strip body 1 is powered on and the computer is turned on, the infrared sensor 7 detects when the user is using the computer. The circuit board 8 receives and analyzes the electrical signal, and then transmits it to the controller 15 on the control panel 6 through the connecting cable 10. The controller 15 then controls the power strip body 1 to supply power to the secondary socket 5.

[0025] When a user leaves the computer for an extended period beyond the set time, the infrared sensor 7, unable to detect the user, transmits an electrical signal to the circuit board 8. This signal is then sent to the control panel via a connecting cable, instructing the controller to cut off power to the secondary socket 5, thereby saving energy for the devices powered by the secondary socket. Simultaneously, the switch button 11 on sensor 3 can be used to control its on / off state; when sensor 3 is off, the secondary socket 5 continues to receive power. During use, the power supply status of the power strip can be determined using the main control light 16 and the secondary control light 17, while the on / off status of sensor 3 can be observed using indicator light 12.

[0026] When energy saving is not performed using sensor 3, the computer is connected to the power switch 14 via a wire, thus electrically connecting the computer to the power strip body 1. When the computer is turned off, the power switch 14 cuts off the power, and then the controller 15 controls the secondary socket 5 to cut off the power, thereby saving energy for the accessories installed on the secondary socket 5. When the power switch 14 is powered on, the controller 15 controls the secondary socket 5 to continue to supply power.
