Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an improvement in the housing of a power strip, particularly an improvement in the fixing structure. Background Technology

[0002] In modern life, power strips are indispensable electrical accessories, providing power to various electrical devices. However, with the diversification of electrical appliances and the increasing complexity of usage scenarios, power strips have revealed many problems in actual use, among which the problems of excessively long cords making storage difficult and securing them are particularly prominent.

[0003] When power strip cords are long, organizing them becomes a major challenge. Excessive cords not only make the space look cluttered but also pose safety hazards. For example, people can easily trip over the cords while walking, leading to damage to electrical appliances or even injury. Furthermore, tangled cords can become intertwined, making them difficult to untangle when needed, wasting considerable time and effort. Some users try to coil the cords, but due to the lack of effective securing methods, coiled cords easily unravel and cannot be kept neat. In addition, prolonged haphazard bending and tangling can damage the internal wiring of the cords, affecting the normal operation of electrical appliances and even causing short circuits, electrical leaks, and other safety accidents.

[0004] Securing power strips to table legs or metal poles is quite difficult, causing significant inconvenience. Traditional power strips typically lack dedicated fixing mechanisms, relying on temporary methods that are often unsatisfactory. Using tape is a common method, but tape has limited adhesion and tends to peel off over time, especially on uneven surfaces like table legs or metal poles. Furthermore, residual adhesive can stain the surfaces, affecting aesthetics. While binding with rope provides some stability, the process is cumbersome, and adjusting the power strip's position and angle is difficult, failing to meet diverse usage needs.

[0005] From the perspective of power strip design, most existing power strips do not consider compatibility with table legs or metal rods. The shape and structure of the power strip make it difficult to fit snugly against round metal rods or square table legs, making it prone to wobbling or slipping. In addition, the uneven weight distribution of the power strip may cause it to tilt after being fixed in place, affecting safety during use.

[0006] From a usage perspective, the materials and surface conditions of different table legs and metal frames vary, which increases the difficulty of fixing them. For example, wooden table legs have a smooth surface with low friction; the surface of metal frames may have coatings or oil stains, which will also affect the fixing effect. Utility Model Content

[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of current power strips which are relatively complicated to fix, this utility model provides a power strip that is easy to place and store power cords.

[0008] The technical solution of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a power strip that facilitates the placement and storage of power cords, comprising a housing, wherein a conductive element is provided inside the housing, the housing is divided into an upper housing and a lower housing, and the housing is provided with a wire outlet for external plugs; a suspended plate is provided on the lower housing, the suspended plate has through openings on both sides, and a through gap is provided on the back of the suspended plate, with both ends of the through gap communicating with the through openings on both sides respectively; a hanging opening is provided on the suspended plate; and an independent strap is also included, which is used in combination and threaded through the through openings on both sides of the suspended plate.

[0009] To improve the suspension and fixation effect, the lower housing has at least two sets of suspension plates. Generally, two sets are the most suitable, but three or four sets can be set to allow users to selectively use them to enhance the fixation effect.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of a suspended plate structure, a boss is provided on the inner side wall of the lower housing, and a passage is provided on the boss. An internal sealing plate is also detachably provided on the boss, and the internal sealing plate covers the boss from the inside.

[0011] Furthermore, the internal sealing sheet has edging on both sides, and a buckle is provided on the inner side of the edging. The boss has locking feet on both sides, and the buckle is locked onto the locking feet when the internal sealing sheet is installed on the boss.

[0012] In a preferred orientation of the opening, the passageways on both sides of the suspended plate are located along the long side of the housing.

[0013] To increase the number of mounting directions for the power strip, the mounting opening is a cross-shaped opening.

[0014] Further optimization of the mounting direction is achieved by having the opening lines of the cross-shaped mounting opening parallel to the left and right sides and the top and bottom sides of the housing, respectively. The opening lines refer to the horizontal and vertical lines of the cross.

[0015] A preferred embodiment of an independent strap is provided, wherein both ends of the independent strap are provided with reusable connecting and fixing ends, which are combined to form an O-ring. In layman's terms, Velcro, buckles, or other common connecting and fixing end settings can be used.

[0016] To increase adaptability, the individual straps are elastic and can vary with the binding diameter.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the housing also includes a USB conversion component, with the USB port exposed on the top cover of the housing.

[0018] This utility model also includes the following additional technical features: the housing is also provided with a switch button, as well as functional components such as a safety unit.

[0019] This utility model offers two fixing methods during use. One method involves securing the power strip to a rod-like object using independent straps. When fixing the power strip to a table leg, metal frame, or other rod-like object, first remove the independent straps. Because the independent straps have reusable connecting ends, they can accommodate different fixing sizes. Pass the independent straps through the openings on both sides of the suspension plate. Generally, the lower housing has at least two sets of suspension plates; one or more sets can be used to enhance the fixing effect depending on actual needs. Wrap the power strip around the table leg or rod-like object, and then connect the connecting ends of the independent straps to form an O-ring, tightly fixing the power strip to the object.

[0020] Secondly, it can be fixed by hanging it with a cross-shaped bracket. If you need to fix the power strip to a wall or other flat surface in a specific area, you can drive screws into that area.

[0021] Use the cross-shaped mounting brackets on the power strip to mount it to the screws. The openings of the cross-shaped brackets are parallel to the left and right sides and the top and bottom sides of the casing, allowing the power strip to be mounted in multiple directions to better adapt to different installation environments.

[0022] When not using the power strip or when you need to organize the power cords, use individual cable ties to neatly organize the plugs and cords on the power strip. Wrap the power cords neatly around your fingers and then secure them with individual ties to keep them organized and close to the power strip, preventing a messy appearance and reducing space usage.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This power strip provides two effective fixing methods; one is to fix it to a rod-shaped object using independent straps. The independent straps have reusable connecting ends at both ends, adaptable to different fixing sizes, and the lower housing has at least two sets of suspended plates to choose from, which can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to enhance the fixing effect; the other is to fix it by hanging it with a cross-shaped mounting hole. The opening lines of the cross-shaped mounting hole are parallel to different sides of the housing, allowing the power strip to have multiple mounting directions and easily fix it to screws on walls or other flat surfaces in specific areas, adapting to different installation environments. 2. The design is ingenious. A passage is provided on the back of the housing, and a passage gap is provided on the inner side of the cross-shaped mounting plate, with both ends communicating with the passage gap, facilitating the insertion of the independent straps; a boss is provided on the inner wall of the lower housing, with the passage gap opening on the boss, and an internal sealing plate is detachably provided, ensuring the sealing of the structure and facilitating maintenance and cleaning. 3. When the power strip is not in use or needs to be organized, the independent straps can be used to store the plugs and wires. After neatly winding the power cord, tie it with an individual cable tie to keep the power cord neatly attached to the power strip, avoiding a messy situation, effectively reducing space occupation, and keeping the surrounding environment clean and orderly.

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] Example 1 Combined with appendix Figures 1 to 7 A power strip for easy placement and storage of power cords includes a housing 1, which contains conductive elements. The housing 1 is divided into an upper housing 2 and a lower housing 3. The housing 1 has a wire outlet 5 for connecting external plugs 4. The lower housing 3 has a suspended plate 6 with passage openings 7 on both sides and a passage gap 8 on the back, with both ends of the passage gap 8 communicating with the passage openings 7 on both sides. The suspended plate 6 has a hanging opening 9. It also includes independent straps 10, which are threaded onto the passage openings 7 on both sides of the suspended plate 6 when used in combination.

[0033] To improve the suspension and fixing effect, the suspension plate 6 on the lower housing 3 is provided with at least two sets. Generally, two sets are the most suitable, but three or four sets can be set to facilitate users to selectively use the fixing to enhance the fixing effect.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the suspended plate 6 structure, a boss 11 is provided on the inner side wall of the lower housing 3, and a passage gap 8 is provided on the boss 11. An internal sealing plate 12 is also detachably provided on the boss 11, and the internal sealing plate 12 covers the boss 11 from the inside.

[0035] Furthermore, the inner sealing plate 12 is provided with edging 13 on both sides, and the inner side of the edging 13 is provided with buckle 14. The boss 11 is provided with locking feet 15 on both sides. When the inner sealing plate 12 is installed on the boss 11, the buckle 14 is locked on the locking feet 15.

[0036] In a preferred orientation of the opening, the passage openings 7 on both sides of the suspended plate 6 are located along the long side of the housing 1.

[0037] To increase the mounting options for the power strip, the mounting port 9 is a cross-shaped mounting port.

[0038] Further optimization of the mounting direction is achieved by having the opening lines of the cross-shaped mounting opening parallel to the left and right sides and the top and bottom sides of the housing 1, respectively. The opening lines refer to the horizontal and vertical lines of the cross.

[0039] A preferred embodiment of the independent strap 10 is that the independent strap 10 has reusable connecting and fixing ends 16 at both ends, which can be combined to form an O-ring. In layman's terms, Velcro, buckles, or other common connecting and fixing end 16 can be used.

[0040] To increase adaptability, the independent strap 10 is elastic and can change with the binding diameter.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the housing 1 is further provided with a USB conversion component, and the upper cover of the housing 1 exposes the USB port 17.

[0042] The housing 1 is also provided with a switch button 18.

[0043] This embodiment has two fixing methods during use, combined with the attached... Figure 4 First, the power strip is secured to a rod-shaped object using independent straps 10. When it is necessary to fix the power strip to a rod-shaped object such as a table leg 19 or a metal frame, the independent straps 10 are taken out first. Since the independent straps 10 have reusable connecting and fixing ends 16 at both ends, they can adapt to different binding sizes. The independent straps 10 are passed through the access holes 7 on both sides of the suspension plate 6. Generally, the lower housing 3 has at least two sets of suspension plates 6. One or more sets can be used to enhance the fixing effect according to actual needs. The power strip is wrapped around the table leg or rod-shaped object, and then the connecting and fixing ends 16 at both ends of the independent straps 10 are connected to form an O-ring, which tightly fixes the power strip to the object.

[0044] Combined with appendix Figure 6 and 7 Secondly, it can be fixed by hanging with a cross-shaped mounting bracket. If it is necessary to fix the power strip to the wall or other flat surface of a specific area 20, screws 21 can be driven into that area 20.

[0045] The power strip is mounted on screw 21 using the cross-shaped mounting holes. The openings of the cross-shaped mounting holes are parallel to the left and right sides and the top and bottom sides of the housing 1, respectively. This allows the power strip to be mounted in multiple directions, making it more adaptable to different installation environments.

[0046] Combined with appendix Figure 5 When not using the power strip or when power cords need to be organized, use the individual cable ties 10 to neatly organize the plugs and cords on the power strip. Wrap the power cords neatly and then tie them together with the individual cable ties 10, ensuring the power cords fit snugly against the power strip, preventing a messy appearance and reducing space usage.

[0047] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This power strip provides two effective fixing methods; one is to fix it to a rod-shaped object using independent straps. The independent straps have reusable connecting ends at both ends, adaptable to different fixing sizes, and the lower housing has at least two sets of suspended plates to choose from, which can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to enhance the fixing effect; the other is to fix it by hanging it with a cross-shaped mounting hole. The opening lines of the cross-shaped mounting hole are parallel to different sides of the housing, allowing the power strip to have multiple mounting directions and easily fix it to screws on walls or other flat surfaces in specific areas, adapting to different installation environments. 2. The design is ingenious. A passage is provided on the back of the housing, and a passage gap is provided on the inner side of the cross-shaped mounting plate, with both ends communicating with the passage gap, facilitating the insertion of the independent straps; a boss is provided on the inner wall of the lower housing, with the passage gap opening on the boss, and an internal sealing plate is detachably provided, ensuring the sealing of the structure and facilitating maintenance and cleaning. 3. When the power strip is not in use or needs to be organized, the independent straps can be used to store the plugs and wires. After neatly winding the power cord, tie it with an individual cable tie to keep the power cord neatly attached to the power strip, avoiding a messy situation, effectively reducing space occupation, and keeping the surrounding environment clean and orderly.
