Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Retractable power strips are widely used in office desks, dining tables, conference tables, and other settings. Their core functionality involves a power mechanism that drives a movable base to slide along the outer casing, allowing for switching between extended use and retracted storage. When in use, the movable base extends out of the casing, providing access to devices via functional blocks (such as power sockets and USB ports). When retracted, the base stays flat and tidy, avoiding the space-consuming and aesthetically pleasing features of traditional fixed power strips.

[0003] Traditional pop-up power strips mostly use pressure-sensitive switches to trigger the lifting action. However, these switches are easily affected by factors such as pressure from desktop objects or accidental external forces, resulting in problems such as insensitive triggering and false triggering. At the same time, the force transmission of pressure-sensitive switches is unstable, and after long-term use, triggering delays or failures are likely to occur, seriously affecting the user experience and product reliability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology and to provide a stable triggering lifting socket.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This application provides a trigger-stable lifting socket, including a housing, a movable base, and a power mechanism. The movable base is provided with a functional block and is slidably disposed on the housing.

[0021] Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Traditional pressure-sensing trigger structures for lifting sockets are susceptible to external interference, resulting in insufficient triggering accuracy and poor stability. After long-term use, they are prone to functional failures, affecting normal user operation.

[0024] Based on the above problems, this utility model proposes a trigger-stable 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 includes a bottom shell 1001, a middle cylinder 1002, and an upper frame 1003. The bottom shell 1001 and the upper frame 1003 are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the middle cylinder 1002 by bolts. The movable base 2 is slidably disposed on the middle cylinder 1002 and can move up and down along the axial direction of the middle cylinder 1002. Functional blocks 4 are provided on the side wall of the movable base 2, wherein the functional blocks 4 are power sockets, USB interfaces, network interfaces, etc., to meet the basic power supply needs of daily equipment.

[0025] The power mechanism 3, used to drive the movable seat 2 to rise and fall, includes a motor 31, a gear 32, and a rack 33, with the gear 32 meshing with the rack 33. The motor 31 is fixed to the bottom of the movable seat 2 by screws, and the output shaft of the motor 31 is connected to the gear 32, driving the gear 32 to rotate. The inner wall of the middle cylinder 1002 has a slot 1004 along the axial direction, and the rack 33 is inserted into the slot 1004. The rack 33 is axially positioned by the bottom shell 1001 and the upper frame 1003, preventing the rack 33 from shifting, reducing the need for fasteners, and simplifying the assembly process. When the motor 31 starts, the gear 32 rolls along the rack 33, driving the movable seat 2 to rise along the slide rail, so that the movable seat 2 extends out of the outer shell 1 and enters the use state. When the motor 31 reverses, the movable seat 2 descends and retracts into the outer shell 1, entering the closed state, realizing automatic lifting and lowering switching.

[0026] To improve triggering stability, a mounting plate 5 is provided on the top of the movable base 2. The mounting plate 5 is fixed to the top surface of the movable base 2 by screws. A movable frame 6 is provided on the mounting plate 5. The mounting plate 5 and the movable frame 6 enclose a lower chamber 7. A control board 8 is installed in the lower chamber 7. The control board 8 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 and various functional modules.

[0027] Importantly, the control panel 8 is equipped with a tactile switch 9, and multiple connecting posts 10 are evenly arranged circumferentially on the side of the movable frame 6 facing the mounting plate 5. Each connecting post 10 has a threaded hole 101 at its center, and the mounting plate 5 has a corresponding through hole 51 for the connecting post 10 to pass through. After the bolt 11 passes through the through hole 51, it engages with the threaded hole 101. The diameter of the head of the bolt 11 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 51, which can limit the maximum upward sliding stroke of the movable frame 6. At the same time, the connecting post 10 can move up and down along the through hole 51, so as to realize the smooth sliding of the movable frame 6 relative to the mounting plate 5.

[0028] Furthermore, a spring 12 is provided between the mounting plate 5 and the movable frame 6. The spring 12 is sleeved on the connecting post 10, and the outer ring of the connecting post 10 has a groove 102. One end of the spring 12 abuts against the groove 102, and the other end abuts against the mounting plate 5, making the installation of the spring 12 more stable and preventing slippage or detachment. When the user presses the movable frame 6, the movable frame 6 drives the connecting post 10 to move downward along the through hole 51, compressing the spring 12 and accurately touching the tactile switch 9. The tactile switch 9 sends a signal to the control board 8, and the control board 8 drives the power mechanism 3 to operate, realizing the state switching of the movable seat 2. After the movable frame 6 is released, the spring 12 returns to its original position, pushing the movable frame 6 upward, and the tactile switch 9 returns to its original position. This structure provides uniform force and accurate triggering, effectively avoiding accidental touches and insensitivity issues.

[0029] In some embodiments, a protrusion 52 is integrally formed on the mounting plate 5 at the position corresponding to the connecting column 10, the through hole 51 is opened on the protrusion 52, and a groove 521 is opened on the lower end face of the protrusion 52. The control plate 8 is positioned between several protrusions 52, so that the installation of the control plate 8 is more stable. The groove 521 can accommodate the head of the bolt 11.

[0030] In some embodiments, the movable frame 6 includes an outer frame 61 and a connecting frame 62. The lower chamber 7 is formed between the connecting frame 62 and the mounting plate 5. The connecting post 10 is disposed on the lower end face of the connecting frame 62. The outer frame 61 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting frame 62. The outer frame 61 includes an upper ring body portion 611, a middle ring body portion 612, and a lower ring body portion 613. The middle ring body portion 612 protrudes inward and is provided with an internal thread. The connecting frame 62 includes an upper cover body portion 621 and a lower cover body portion 622. The outer peripheral wall of the upper cover body portion 621 is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread of the middle ring body portion 612. The outer frame 61 and the connecting frame 62 can be fixed by screwing the threads together. After screwing, the lower end of the middle ring body portion 612 and the upper end of the lower cover body portion 622 are tightly abutted together, forming a double positioning to prevent the outer frame 61 from loosening.

[0031] An upper chamber 13 is formed between the outer frame 61 and the connecting frame 62. A functional module 14 is provided in the upper chamber 13. The functional module 14 can be a wireless charging module, an interface module, a night light module, or a decorative module, etc., to enrich the product's functional diversity.

[0032] To further improve the stability of the lifting process and prevent structural damage caused by excessive lifting of the movable seat 2, a first limit switch 15 is provided on the control board 8 facing downwards, and a first trigger end 16 is provided on the bottom shell 1001 of the outer shell 1 corresponding to the first limit switch 15; a second limit switch 17 is provided on the movable seat 2 facing upwards, and a second trigger end 18 is provided on the upper frame 1003 of the outer shell 1 corresponding to the second limit switch 17. When the movable seat 2 descends to the closed state, the first limit switch 15 contacts the first trigger end 16, and the control board 8 receives the signal and controls the motor 31 to stop rotating, and the movable seat 2 stops descending; when the movable seat 2 rises to the use state, the second limit switch 17 contacts the second trigger end 18, the motor 31 stops rotating, and the movable seat 2 stops rising, achieving precise limiting of the lifting stroke and improving the product's service life.
