Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lifting socket technology, and in particular to a rotary lifting socket. Background Technology

[0002] Retractable power strips are widely used in office desks, dining tables, conference tables, and other settings. They utilize a power mechanism to drive a movable base that slides along the outer casing, allowing for switching between extended use and retracted storage.

[0023] Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] Regarding the accompanying drawings of this application, it should be clearly understood that the drawings are for illustrative and descriptive purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this specification. It should also be understood that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0025] Traditional power strips have fixed functional block orientations, which can lead to problems such as inconvenience in plugging and unplugging and tangled cables when the device position does not match the orientation of the power strip's functional blocks, resulting in insufficient adaptability and ease of use.

[0026] Based on the above problems, this utility model proposes a rotary lifting socket, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown: This lifting socket includes a housing 1, a movable base 2, and a power mechanism 3. The housing 1 has a hollow cavity structure, which houses the movable base 2 and the power mechanism 3. The movable base 2 is slidably mounted on the housing 1 and can move up and down along the axial direction of the housing 1. A functional block 4 is provided on the side wall of the movable base 2, wherein the functional block 4 includes a power socket, a USB interface, a network interface, etc. Specifically, it can be equipped with a five-hole power socket, a USB-A charging interface, a Type-C fast charging interface, a network interface, an HDMI video interface, etc., to meet the power supply and data transmission needs of different devices.

[0027] The power mechanism 3 can be a screw drive mechanism driven by a motor or a gear and rack mechanism. For example, when the motor starts, it drives the gear to rotate and the gear moves up and down along the rack to realize the automatic switching between the use state and the off state.

[0028] To achieve the rotation function, the lifting socket also includes a connecting cylinder 5, which is a hollow cylindrical structure used to fix the lifting socket in the mounting hole of the tabletop. The movable base 2 and the outer shell 1 rotate synchronously through a keyway. Specifically, a key bar can be provided on the inner wall of the outer shell 1, and a matching keyway can be provided on the outer wall of the movable base 2. The key bar is embedded in the keyway, allowing the movable base 2 to rotate together with the outer shell 1. A retaining ring portion 51 protrudes from the center of the inner peripheral wall of the connecting cylinder 5, and a corresponding convex plate portion 101 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the outer shell 1. Multiple elastic locking blocks 105 are provided below the convex plate portion 101. The elastic locking blocks 105 are made of elastic plastic and are evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer shell 1. The retaining ring portion 51 is positioned between the convex plate portion 101 and the elastic locking blocks 105, so that the outer shell 1 and the connecting cylinder 5 form a rotatable connection. The user can rotate the movable base 2 to drive the outer shell 1 to rotate relative to the connecting cylinder 5, freely adjusting the orientation of the functional block 4 to adapt to the device position requirements.

[0029] Furthermore, the retaining ring portion 51 and the elastic locking block 105 are respectively provided with a first guide surface 511 and a second guide surface 106. Specifically, the first guide surface 511 is provided on the inner side wall of the retaining ring portion 51, and the second guide surface 106 is provided on the outer side wall of the elastic locking block 105. The first guide surface 511 and the second guide surface 106 are both inclined surfaces with the same slope direction. The lower side of the first guide surface 511 is inclined towards the center of the retaining ring portion 51, and the lower side of the second guide surface 106 is inclined towards the center of the outer shell 1.

[0030] During assembly, the outer shell 1 is inserted from the top of the connecting cylinder 5. The first guide surface 511 of the retaining ring portion 51 contacts and presses against the second guide surface 106 of the elastic block 105, causing the elastic block 105 to deform until the retaining ring portion 51 passes over the elastic block 105. The elastic block 105 then returns to its original position, thus ensuring that the limiting position is between the convex portion 101 and the elastic block 105, completing the assembly of the outer shell 1 and the connecting cylinder 5. The design of the guide surface makes the assembly process smoother and reduces the assembly difficulty.

[0031] In some embodiments, a rotation limiting structure 6 is provided between the outer shell 1 and the connecting cylinder 5. The rotation limiting structure 6 includes a track groove 102 disposed on the convex portion 101 and a limiting block 61 disposed on the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 5. The limiting block 61 is located on the rotation path of the track groove 102. The track groove 102 is opened along the circumference of the convex portion 101, and its arc can be set to 0-360°, generally preferably 180°, 240°, 270° or 300°. When the outer shell 1 drives the convex portion 101 to rotate, the limiting block 61 slides in the track groove 102. When the limiting block 61 abuts against the end of the track groove 102, the outer shell 1 stops rotating to avoid excessive rotation causing damage to the internal wiring and the bottom power cord to rotate and become entangled.

[0032] The convex disc portion 101 has a notch 103 along its circumferential direction for the limiting block 61 to pass through. During assembly, the notch 103 is aligned with the limiting block 61, allowing the convex disc portion 101 to pass smoothly through the limiting block 61. After the retaining ring portion 51 completes the limiting, the outer shell 1 is rotated to allow the limiting block 61 to enter the track groove 102, thus realizing the rotation limiting function. The structural design is simple and practical.

[0033] The outer peripheral wall of the convex plate portion 101 is uniformly provided with a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions 104. The arc-shaped protrusions 104 can increase the friction between the convex plate portion 101 and the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 5, making the rotation of the outer shell 1 more stable, avoiding jamming or inertial impact caused by rapid rotation, and improving the feel during rotation, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0034] To adapt to different installation scenarios, the lower part of the connecting cylinder 5 is provided with an external thread section 52, and a rotating part 7 is provided on the external thread section 52 for threaded engagement with it. The rotating part 7 includes a fixed ring part 71.

[0035] In some embodiments, the top of the connecting cylinder 5 is provided with a limiting protrusion 53, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the tabletop mounting hole. During installation, the connecting cylinder 5 is passed through the tabletop mounting hole, so that the limiting protrusion 53 abuts against the upper surface of the tabletop. The fixing ring 71 is rotated to move upward along the external thread section 52 until the fixing ring 71 abuts against the lower surface of the tabletop. The clamping force between the limiting protrusion 53 and the fixing ring 71 is used to fix the lifting socket, which can be adapted to tabletops of different thicknesses.

[0036] In other embodiments, the fixing ring 71 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 711 and / or a plurality of receiving grooves 712. The connecting holes 711 can be used with bolts, suitable for wooden tabletops, and the fixing ring 71 is fixed to the bracket below the tabletop by bolts passing through the connecting holes 711. The receiving grooves 712 can be filled with glue, suitable for glass or metal tabletops, and the fixing ring 71 is bonded to the lower surface of the tabletop by glue, adapting to the installation requirements of tabletops of different materials. In the closed state, the top surface of the connecting cylinder 5 is flush with the top surface of the tabletop, ensuring a flat and aesthetically pleasing tabletop.

[0037] To improve triggering stability, a mounting plate 8 is provided on the top of the movable base 2. The mounting plate 8 is fixed to the top surface of the movable base 2 by screws. A movable frame 9 is provided on the mounting plate 8. The mounting plate 8 and the movable frame 9 enclose a lower chamber 10. A control board 11 is provided in the lower chamber 10. The control board 11 is a PCB circuit board that integrates a power management chip and a signal processing chip to coordinate the operation of the power mechanism 3, the tactile switch 12 and related functional modules.

[0038] The active frame 9 is provided with an upper chamber with an upper opening, and a wireless charging module or a decorative module can be installed in the upper chamber.

[0039] The movable frame 9 has a plurality of connecting posts 13 evenly arranged circumferentially on the side facing the mounting plate 8. Each connecting post 13 has a threaded hole 131 at its center, and the mounting plate 8 has a corresponding through hole 811 for the connecting post 13 to pass through. The bolt 14 passes through the through hole 811 and is threaded into the threaded hole 131. The head diameter of the bolt 14 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 811, which can limit the maximum upward sliding stroke of the movable frame 9. At the same time, the connecting post 13 can move up and down along the through hole 811, realizing the sliding of the movable frame 9 relative to the mounting plate 8.

[0040] A spring 15 is provided between the mounting plate 8 and the movable frame 9. The spring 15 is sleeved on the connecting post 13. The outer ring of the connecting post 13 is provided with a groove 132. One end of the spring 15 abuts against the groove 132, and the other end abuts against the mounting plate 8, making the installation of the spring 15 more stable and preventing slippage or detachment. When the user presses the movable frame 9, the movable frame 9 drives the connecting post 13 to move downward along the through hole 811, compressing the spring 15 and triggering the tactile switch 12. The tactile switch 12 sends a signal to the control board 11, and the control board 11 drives the power mechanism 3 to operate, realizing the state switching of the movable seat 2. After the movable frame 9 is released, the spring 15 returns to its original position, pushing the movable frame 9 to move upward, and the tactile switch 12 returns to its original position. No additional physical button is required, simplifying the table structure.

[0041] The mounting plate 8 is provided with a protrusion 81 corresponding to the connecting column 13. The through hole 811 is provided on the protrusion 81. The lower end face of the protrusion 81 is provided with a groove 812. The control plate 11 is positioned between several protrusions 81, so that the installation of the control plate 11 is more stable. The groove 812 is for the head of the bolt 14 to be embedded.
