Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power strip technology, and specifically to a power strip device. Background Technology

[0002] A power strip (also known as a power strip, extension cord, or extension cord) is a portable power converter with multiple sockets. It is used to expand the number of interfaces on a fixed power strip, making it convenient to power multiple appliances simultaneously. A typical power strip consists of a casing, sockets, a power cord, and a plug. It usually comes with a power cord and plug and can be flexibly placed in the required location.

[0003] Existing power strips lack built-in shielding for the sockets. When used outdoors, rainwater can enter the power strip through the sockets during rainy weather, potentially causing a chain reaction of short circuits, electrical leakage, and fire. Specifically, when rainwater seeps into both the sockets and the electrical connections, it can create a short circuit (live wire to neutral wire path) at the socket, or a leakage circuit (live wire to ground path) through the damp casing or wall. Both often occur simultaneously, leading to tripping of the circuit breaker or blown fuses. The large current during a short circuit can heat the wires; if the insulation is damp from rain, it is more likely to generate an electric arc at the joints or damaged areas, igniting nearby flammable materials, posing a significant safety risk.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0017] To address the technical problem in existing power strips that allow rainwater to enter and damage the strip during outdoor use, this solution provides a power strip device that seals the socket area after the plug is inserted, effectively preventing rainwater from entering the socket body.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figures 1-3According to one embodiment of the present invention, a power strip device includes a socket body 1 and a sealing mechanism 2. The upper end of the socket body 1 has a socket area 1a. The sealing mechanism 2 is connected to the socket body 1. The sealing mechanism 2 and the socket body 1 enclose a first waterproof barrier and a second waterproof barrier. The first waterproof barrier surrounds the edge of the socket area 1a and has a wire-passing channel. The second waterproof barrier is located on one side of the first waterproof barrier and corresponds to the wire-passing channel. The second waterproof barrier has a wire-releasing channel, which is connected to the wire-passing channel.

[0019] It should be noted that the socket area 1a has at least one power socket. When in use, the plug is inserted into the power socket on the socket body 1, and the sealing mechanism 2 is connected to the socket body 1. This allows the edge of the socket area 1a to be enclosed to form a first waterproof barrier. At the same time, a second waterproof barrier is formed at the position where the plug wires pass through the sealing mechanism 2. The second waterproof barrier and the first waterproof barrier can effectively prevent rainwater from entering the socket area 1a.

[0020] Furthermore, the sealing mechanism 2 is not limited to a specific structure, as long as it can seal the upper end of the socket body 1, no other limitations are made here.

[0021] In one embodiment, the sealing mechanism 2 includes a sealing part 21, a first waterproof component 22, and a second waterproof component 23. The first waterproof component 22 is installed on the upper end of the socket body 1 and is disposed along the edge of the socket area 1a.

The first waterproof component 22 can fit with the sealing part 21 to form a first waterproof barrier. The second waterproof component 23 fits with the socket body 1 to form a second waterproof barrier.

[0022] Based on the above scheme, two mounting blocks 11 are fixedly provided at the upper end of the socket body 1, and a connecting shaft 12 is fixedly provided between the two mounting blocks 11. A limiting shaft 13 is provided on the side wall of the socket body 1. The sealing part 21 includes a cover 211, a third waterproof component 212, and a switch buckle 213. The cover 211 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 12. The third waterproof component 212 is fixed on the cover 211. The switch buckle 213 is installed on the cover 211. The switch buckle 213 can engage with the limiting shaft 13. The third waterproof component 212 cooperates with the first waterproof component 22 to form a first waterproof barrier.

[0023] It is understandable that by engaging the switch buckle 213 with the limiting shaft 13, the cover 211 can be fixedly connected to the socket body 1.

[0024] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the first waterproof component 22 includes two longitudinal waterproof strips 221 and a transverse waterproof strip 222. The two longitudinal waterproof strips 221 are arranged parallel to each other on opposite sides of the socket area 1a. The transverse waterproof strip 222 is disposed between one end of the two longitudinal waterproof strips 221, and a wire-passing channel is formed between the transverse waterproof strip 222 and the longitudinal waterproof strips 221. The third waterproof component 212 is a sealing waterproof strip, which can abut against the socket body 1 and close the opening between the other ends of the two longitudinal waterproof strips 221. Specifically, the two longitudinal waterproof strips 221, the transverse waterproof strips 222, and the sealing waterproof strips together form a square frame-shaped first waterproof barrier with a wire passage, and the plug wire can pass through the wire passage and the wire release passage in sequence to the outside of the socket body 1.

[0025] It should be noted that, based on the above scheme, at least one torsion spring 14 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 12. One torsion arm of the torsion spring 14 is fixedly connected to one of the mounting blocks 11, and the other torsion arm of the torsion spring 14 is fixedly connected to the cover 211. Specifically, under the action of the torsion spring 14, when the switch buckle 213 can be separated from the limiting shaft 13, the torsion spring 14 can spring up the cover, making it convenient for the operator to open the cover 211.

[0026] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the socket body 1 is formed with a first housing 15, and the first housing 15 is located on one side of the limiting shaft 13. The second waterproof component 23 is installed on the first housing 15. A plurality of first wire-laying notches 15a are spaced apart on the side wall of the first housing 15. A second housing 214 is formed on the cover 211, and the second housing 214 is located on one side of the switch buckle 213. A plurality of second wire-laying notches 214a are spaced apart on the side wall of the second housing 214. When the first housing 15 and the second housing 214 come into contact, the corresponding first wire-laying notches 15a and second wire-laying notches 214a can be closed to form a wire-laying channel, and the second waterproof component 23 can cover the coupling gap between the first housing 15 and the second housing 214.

[0027] In one embodiment, the second waterproof component 23 is a sealing strip disposed on the inner side of the first box body 15; in another embodiment, the second waterproof component 23 is a sealing strip disposed on the outer side of the first box body 15; in other embodiments, the second waterproof component 23 is a sealing strip disposed on both the inner and outer sides of the first box body 15.

[0028] Based on the above scheme, since the outer diameter of the wires of different plugs is different, in order to adapt to wires with different outer diameters, specifically, the inner diameter of each of the wire feeding channels is different. The wire feeding channel is a circular wire feeding channel. When the wire is inserted into the wire feeding channel, the wire is in contact with the inner wall of the first wire feeding notch 15a and the second wire feeding notch 214a.

[0029] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, when the other wire-laying channels are not used, a plug 3 can be detachably inserted into the other wire-laying channels to seal the wire-laying channels and prevent rainwater from entering the sockets.
