Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a height-adjustable socket. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic devices require electrical power to function properly, and sockets are common components that provide this power. This is especially true in kitchens, where various types of appliances are often present on the same work surface, requiring sockets to supply power to these different devices. Currently, most sockets on the market are fixed, flat structures, primarily designed for powering single devices in dry environments. However, with the increasing variety of kitchen appliances, users are increasingly demanding integrated multi-type interfaces and moisture-proof features.

[0003] Traditional sockets are prone to short circuits due to liquid seepage in humid environments, and their single socket type cannot meet the power needs of the diverse appliances in modern kitchens. Therefore, an improved adjustable socket has been developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a height-adjustable socket, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and aims to solve the problems that traditional sockets are prone to short circuits due to liquid seepage in humid environments, and that the single type of socket cannot meet the power needs of the diverse equipment in modern kitchens.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a height-adjustable socket, including a base, a mounting sleeve on the top of the base, the mounting sleeve being embedded in a kitchen countertop, a micro motor fixedly mounted at the center of the upper surface of the base, a lead screw fixedly connected to the output end of the micro motor, a lifting seat slidably connected to the inside of the mounting sleeve near the base, a lead screw connection hole provided at the center of the lower surface of the lifting seat, and the lifting seat threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw through the lead screw connection hole, a circuit board fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the lifting seat on the side of the lead screw connection hole, a socket post fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lifting seat, a cylindrical groove for inserting the lead screw provided inside the socket post, multiple socket holes of different specifications provided on the outer wall of the socket post, and a lifting control panel mounted on the top of the socket post.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a micro motor drives a lead screw to rotate, which in turn raises and lowers the lifting base and the top socket post. When the socket is not in use, the socket post can be completely retracted into the mounting sleeve via the lifting control panel. At this time, the socket hole and internal circuit of the socket post are not directly exposed to the humid environment of the kitchen, reducing the chance of liquid contact from the source. The socket post is raised to expose the socket hole only when in use, and is immediately lowered to hide after use, which greatly shortens the contact time between the socket and the humid environment and reduces the risk of liquid seepage. The outer wall of the socket post is equipped with multiple socket holes of different sizes to specifically cover the power needs of the diverse equipment in modern kitchens.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the inner walls of both sides of the mounting sleeve are symmetrically provided with sliding grooves, and the outer walls of both sides of the lifting seat are symmetrically connected with sliding blocks, and the sliding blocks are slidably connected to the sliding grooves.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding grooves on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting sleeve are slidably connected to the sliding blocks on the outer walls of both sides of the lifting seat, which can provide guidance for the lifting of the lifting seat, ensuring that the lifting seat moves smoothly along a straight line during the rising and falling process, and avoiding shaking or deviation.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a protruding strip is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove, and a groove adapted to the protruding strip is opened on the outer wall of the sliding block.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the convex strip in the sliding groove matches the groove on the sliding block, further enhancing the stability and accuracy of the lifting seat movement.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a water-blocking ring is fixedly provided on the top of the mounting sleeve, the lower surface of the water-blocking ring is in contact with the upper surface of the kitchen table, and the diameter of the lifting control screen is adapted to the diameter of the top opening of the mounting sleeve.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, liquid can be effectively prevented from seeping into the socket through the gap between the mounting sleeve and the desktop, further improving the waterproof performance of the socket in humid environments, protecting the internal circuit components of the socket from liquid corrosion, and reducing the probability of short circuits and other faults.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the lifting control panel is electrically connected to the circuit board via wires, and the circuit board is electrically connected to the micro motor via wires.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a complete control circuit is formed. Users can send commands through the lifting control panel, which are then processed by the circuit board to control the operation of the micro motor, thereby achieving precise control of the lifting of the socket column and making the operation more convenient and efficient.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the base, mounting sleeve, lifting seat, and socket post are all made of insulating plastic.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the insulating plastic has good insulation properties, which can prevent users from having electric shock accidents during operation and protect the personal safety of users.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer wall of the mounting sleeve is provided with a mounting hole near the lower end, and a mounting screw is inserted into the internal thread of the mounting hole. The threaded end of the mounting screw passes through the mounting hole and is threaded into the interior of the base.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting holes and mounting screws on the outer wall of the mounting sleeve are used to fix the mounting sleeve to the base.

[0019] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: 1. In this application, a micro motor drives a lead screw to rotate, thereby raising and lowering the lifting base and the top socket post. When the socket is not in use, the socket post can be completely retracted into the mounting sleeve via the lifting control panel. At this time, the socket hole and internal circuit of the socket post are not directly exposed to the humid environment of the kitchen, reducing the chance of liquid contact from the source. The socket post is raised to expose the socket hole only when in use, and is immediately lowered to hide after use, which greatly shortens the contact time between the socket and the humid environment and reduces the risk of liquid seepage. The outer wall of the socket post is provided with multiple socket holes of different specifications to specifically cover the power needs of the diverse equipment in modern kitchens.

[0020] 2. In this application, the sliding grooves on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting sleeve are slidably connected to the sliding blocks on the outer walls of both sides of the lifting seat, which can provide guidance for the lifting of the lifting seat, ensuring that the lifting seat moves smoothly along a straight line during the rising and falling process, avoiding shaking or deviation. The protrusions in the sliding grooves are matched with the grooves on the sliding blocks, further enhancing the stability and accuracy of the movement of the lifting seat.

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this application easy to understand, the following describes this application in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0024] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a height-adjustable socket, including a base 1. A mounting sleeve 2 is fitted onto the top of the base 1 and is embedded in a kitchen countertop. A micro motor 3 is fixedly mounted at the center of the upper surface of the base 1. A lead screw 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the micro motor 3. A lifting seat 5 is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting sleeve 2 near the base 1. A lead screw connection hole 6 is provided at the center of the lower surface of the lifting seat 5, and the lifting seat 5 is threaded onto the outer wall of the lead screw 4 through the lead screw connection hole 6. A circuit board 7 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the lifting seat 5 on the side of the lead screw connection hole 6. A socket post 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lifting seat 5. The socket post 8 has a cylindrical groove inside for the lead screw 4 to be inserted into, and multiple grooves are provided on the outer wall of the socket post 8. The socket post 8 has different sized sockets, and a lifting control panel 9 is installed on the top of the socket post 8. When in use, the micro motor 3 drives the lead screw 4 to rotate, which drives the lifting base 5 and the top socket post 8 to rise and fall. When the socket is not in use, the socket post 8 can be completely retracted into the mounting sleeve 2 by operating the lifting control panel 9. At this time, the sockets and internal circuits on the socket post 8 are not directly exposed to the humid environment of the kitchen, such as oil fumes, water vapor, and splashes of water, reducing the chance of liquid contact from the source. The socket post 8 is raised to expose the sockets only when in use, and is immediately lowered to hide after use, which greatly shortens the contact time between the socket and the humid environment and reduces the risk of liquid seepage. The outer wall of the socket post 8 is provided with multiple sockets of different sizes to cover the power needs of the diverse equipment in modern kitchens.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, sliding grooves 10 are symmetrically provided on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting sleeve 2, and sliding blocks 12 are symmetrically connected to the outer walls of both sides of the lifting seat 5. The sliding blocks 12 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 10. In use, the sliding grooves 10 on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting sleeve 2 are slidably connected to the sliding blocks 12 on the outer walls of both sides of the lifting seat 5, which can provide guidance for the lifting of the lifting seat 5, ensuring that the lifting seat 5 moves smoothly along a straight line during the rising and falling process, and avoiding shaking or deviation.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, a protrusion 11 is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove 10, and a groove 13 adapted to the protrusion 11 is opened on the outer wall of the sliding block 12. In use, the protrusion 11 in the sliding groove 10 is adapted to the groove 13 on the sliding block 12, which further enhances the stability and accuracy of the movement of the lifting seat 5.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a water-blocking ring 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting sleeve 2. The lower surface of the water-blocking ring 16 is in contact with the upper surface of the kitchen tabletop. The diameter of the lifting control panel 9 is matched with the diameter of the top opening of the mounting sleeve 2. During use, it can effectively prevent liquid from seeping into the socket from the gap between the mounting sleeve 2 and the tabletop, further improving the waterproof performance of the socket in a humid environment, protecting the internal circuit components of the socket from liquid corrosion, and reducing the probability of short circuits and other faults.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the lifting control panel 9 is electrically connected to the circuit board 7 via wires, and the circuit board 7 is electrically connected to the micro motor 3 via wires. In use, a complete control circuit is formed. The user can send commands through the lifting control panel 9, which are processed by the circuit board 7 to control the operation of the micro motor 3, thereby achieving precise control of the lifting of the socket post 8, making the operation more convenient and efficient.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the base 1, mounting sleeve 2, lifting seat 5, and socket post 8 are all made of insulating plastic. When in use, the insulating plastic has good insulation properties, which can prevent electric shock accidents during operation and protect the personal safety of users.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, a mounting hole 14 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 2 near the lower end. A mounting screw 15 is inserted into the internal thread of the mounting hole 14. The threaded end of the mounting screw 15 passes through the mounting hole 14 and is threaded into the interior of the base 1. In use, the mounting hole 14 and the mounting screw 15 on the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 2 are used to fix the mounting sleeve 2 to the base 1.

[0031] The working principle of this application is as follows: When using a height-adjustable socket, the user issues a lifting command by pressing or touching the lifting control panel 9 on the top of the socket. The circuit board 7 controls the micro motor 3 to start and rotate in the forward direction. The lead screw 4 at the output end of the micro motor 3 rotates synchronously with the micro motor 3. Since the lifting seat 5 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 4 through the lead screw connection hole 6, the rotational motion of the lead screw 4 is converted into the linear upward motion of the lifting seat 5. The sliding blocks 12 on both sides of the lifting seat 5 slide along the sliding groove 10 on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 2. At the same time, the protrusion 11 in the sliding groove 10 is embedded in the groove 13 of the sliding block 12, which limits the offset of the lifting seat 5 and ensures that it rises smoothly in a straight line. The lifting seat 5 drives the socket post 8 at the top to rise synchronously, making it convenient for the user to use the socket. When the socket is not needed, the user can operate the lifting control panel 9 to control the micro motor 3 to start and rotate in the reverse direction, so that the socket post 8 is lowered and retracted into the mounting sleeve 2.
