Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plug auxiliary accessories technology, and in particular to a power plug unplugging auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of residents' living standards and the constant progress of national science and technology, electronic products and electrical automation equipment have become necessities in people's lives. Residents rely on electrical equipment for everything from clothing and food to housing, transportation, work, and entertainment. For example, the use of products such as televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, computers, mobile phones, and rice cookers has greatly facilitated residents' daily lives, enriched their cultural and spiritual lives, and improved their work efficiency.

[0003] However, many elderly people live alone. Some elderly people unplug electrical appliances after each use for reasons of electrical safety and saving electricity bills. It is relatively simple to insert the existing power plug into the socket panel, but it requires a lot of force to pull the plug out of the socket panel. This is not very convenient for the elderly. If they pull it out by force, it may damage the socket panel. Therefore, an auxiliary device for unplugging power plugs is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary device for unplugging a power plug, which solves the problems mentioned above.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a power plug unplugging auxiliary device is provided, comprising an upper housing and a lower housing, which are connected by a snap-fit. A pressing plate is slidably connected to the outer side of the upper housing, and a base plate is provided at the bottom of the lower housing. The base plate is integrally formed with the lower housing, and a fan-shaped hole is provided around the perimeter of the base plate, with an insertion hole in the center. Openings are provided on both the left and right sides of the upper and lower housings, and the openings are generally L-shaped. An auxiliary mechanism is installed in the openings on both sides of the lower housing. The auxiliary mechanism includes a lever, which is generally bent at an obtuse angle. An anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the outer side of the lever. Limiting posts are provided on both sides of the lever near the lower housing. A limiting hole is provided on the base plate located in the fan-shaped hole. The limiting posts are rotatably connected to the limiting hole and are adapted to the limiting hole.

[0006] According to the aforementioned power plug unplugging auxiliary device, a power plug is provided inside the upper and lower housings, and an elliptical hole is provided at the bottom, wherein the power plug pins are slidably connected to the socket.

[0007] According to the aforementioned power plug unplugging auxiliary device, a limiting plate is provided on the inner side of the pressing plate, and an elastic rubber sheet is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate near the power plug.

[0008] According to the aforementioned power plug unplugging auxiliary device, both the upper and lower housings have rounded corners.

[0009] According to the aforementioned power plug unplugging auxiliary device, the upper housing, lower housing, base plate, auxiliary mechanism, and pressure plate are all made of insulating material.

[0010] According to the aforementioned power plug unplugging auxiliary device, the size of the elliptical hole is determined according to the shape and diameter of the power cord.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. Compared with existing technologies, by setting up a lever-type auxiliary mechanism (paddle), users do not need to pull the power cord or plug body directly with great force when unplugging the plug. They only need to press the paddles on both sides to use the lever principle to easily push the plug out of the socket, which greatly reduces the required operating force and is especially suitable for the elderly or special groups with insufficient hand strength.

[0012] 2. Compared with existing technologies, traditional force-pulling methods can easily lead to loosening of the socket panel, deformation of the plug's metal contacts, or internal damage to the power cord. This device, through uniform force application and a buffer design, effectively disperses the pulling force, avoiding mechanical damage to the socket and plug structure, and improving the service life and safety of electrical equipment.

[0013] 3. Compared with existing technologies, all components of this device are made of insulating materials, which fundamentally eliminates the risk of electric shock; the upper and lower shells are connected by snap-fit, making disassembly and assembly convenient and facilitating maintenance or replacement of internal plugs; the auxiliary mechanism is rotatably connected by limit pins and limit holes, making the movement trajectory controllable and avoiding misoperation.

[0014] 4. Compared with existing technologies, this device has a simple structure and low cost, and is suitable for most household power plugs. It does not require modification of existing sockets or plugs, and has good versatility and market promotion value. Attached Figure Description

[0017] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0018] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a power plug unplugging auxiliary device, which includes an upper housing 1 and a lower housing 2. The upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are rounded at all four sides, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also prevents scratches on the hands during use. The upper housing 1, the lower housing 2, the base plate 3, the auxiliary mechanism 5, and the pressing plate 7 are all made of insulating material to ensure safe use and prevent the risk of electric shock. The upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are connected by snap-fit ​​to form a closed and hollow internal space for holding the power plug 4. The pressing plate 7 is slidably connected to the outside of the upper housing 1. The pressing plate 7 is provided with a limiting plate 71 on the inside. An elastic rubber sheet is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate 71 near the power plug 4. The elastic rubber sheet can provide cushioning during pressing to avoid hard impact on the power plug 4, while increasing the friction with the plug and preventing the plug from sliding inside the housing. The lower housing 2 has a base plate 3 at its bottom, which is integrally formed with the lower housing 2. The base plate 3 has fan-shaped holes 31 around its perimeter and a socket 32 ​​in the center. The arrangement of the fan-shaped holes 31 provides space for the installation and movement of the auxiliary mechanism 5. The upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 have a power plug 4 inside, and an oval hole 9 at the bottom for the power cord to pass through. The size of the oval hole 9 can be designed according to the shape and diameter of the power cord to ensure that the power cord can pass through smoothly without loosening, while avoiding damage caused by excessive bending of the cable. The prongs of the power plug 4 slide to connect with the socket 32, so that it can be smoothly inserted into the socket panel. The upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 have openings 8 on both the left and right sides. The openings 8 are L-shaped in shape, and the auxiliary mechanism 5 is installed in the openings 8 on both sides of the lower housing 2. The auxiliary mechanism 5 includes a paddle 51, which is bent at an obtuse angle, so that the paddle 51 maintains a certain angle with the side of the housing in the initial state, making it easy for the user to press with their fingers. An anti-slip pad 52 is fixedly connected to the outside of the paddle 51, usually made of rubber or silicone, to increase the friction between the fingers and the paddle 51 and prevent slippage during operation. Limiting posts 53 are provided on both sides of the paddle 51 near the lower housing 2. A limiting hole 6 is provided on the bottom plate 3 located in the fan-shaped hole 31. The limiting post 53 is rotatably connected to the limiting hole 6 and is adapted to the limiting hole 6, so that the paddle 51 can rotate around the limiting post 53 within a certain angle.

[0019] Working principle: When the user needs to insert the power plug 4 into the socket, simply align the device with the socket panel and press down on the pressing plate 7. The pressing plate 7 pushes the power plug 4 downward through the limiting plate 71 and the elastic rubber sheet, allowing the prongs to be inserted into the socket through the socket hole 32. Due to the design of the pressing plate 7, the user does not need to push the plug directly, making the operation effortless and the direction controllable. When it is necessary to unplug the power plug 4, the user presses the levers 51 on the left and right sides with two fingers respectively. Upon application of force, the levers 51 rotate inward around the limiting post 53. Due to the obtuse angle bend design of the levers 51, they are stopped by the internal stop (not shown in the diagram) when they reach a vertical position, preventing further rotation. At this point, the lower end of the lever 51 abuts against the surface of the socket panel, creating a lever effect, thereby applying an upward separating force to the power plug 4, allowing the plug to easily detach from the socket. The entire process eliminates the need for the user to directly pull the power cord or plug, saving effort and preventing damage to the socket panel.

[0020] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
