Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of socket technology, and in particular to a desktop socket with lighting function. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of mobile offices and electronic devices, desktop sockets, as fixed or mobile power distribution devices, are widely used in work scenarios such as office desks and study desks to provide mains power interfaces, data interfaces, and charging functions for electronic devices.
[0003] Various desktop socket designs already exist in the prior art, achieving some progress in structural optimization and functional integration. For example, the Chinese utility model patent "A Sleeve-Type Desktop Mobile Socket," application number CN201510178935.3, discloses a socket housing and an inner core seat. The socket housing includes a cylindrical main housing with an opening at at least one end. The inner core seat is slidably installed into the cylindrical main housing and is snap-fitted to it. The inner core seat has 1-15 electrode socket groups facing the side wall of the cylindrical main housing. Power socket holes are located on the side wall of the cylindrical main housing corresponding to the positions of the electrode socket groups. The socket housing also includes a cover disposed at the opening of the cylindrical main housing, which encapsulates the inner core seat and electrode socket groups inside the socket housing. This design ensures the strength of the housing, significantly improves production efficiency, effectively positions the phone while charging, and facilitates convenient viewing of videos on the phone.
[0004] However, the aforementioned existing technologies primarily focus on the ease of use of the structure and auxiliary support functions, without addressing the integration of lighting functions. In practical usage scenarios, especially at night or in low-light environments, users often face the following problems: First, it is difficult to quickly locate the socket body and socket positions, leading to inconvenience in plugging and unplugging operations; second, the lack of auxiliary lighting in the work area affects nighttime work efficiency. Although some problems can be solved by connecting an external independent desk lamp or night light, such solutions increase desktop space occupation and result in messy cable layouts, which contradicts the development trend of integrated and simplified desktop sockets. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a desktop socket with lighting function. This application saves desktop space and expands the lighting function of the desktop socket by setting a retractable lamp holder on the top of the socket body.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a desktop socket with lighting function, including a socket body. The socket body is a quadrangular frustum structure with an upper port diameter smaller than the lower port diameter. Multiple charging ports and multiple power extraction modules are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the socket body. A mounting groove is opened on the top of the socket body. The mounting groove is connected to a lamp holder through a movable connecting rod. The bottom surface of the lamp holder is the light-emitting surface. The lamp holder can extend out of the mounting groove or cover the mounting groove under force. When the lamp holder covers the mounting groove, the bottom of the light-emitting surface of the lamp holder is located inside the mounting groove, and the outer edge of the light-emitting surface of the lamp holder is exposed outside the mounting groove.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are as follows: First, the socket body is designed as a truncated pyramid structure (the upper port diameter is smaller than the lower port diameter), which makes the bottom support area of the socket body large and the center of gravity low, making it stable and not easy to tip over; at the same time, the four inclined outer peripheral surfaces provide ample space for the charging interface and power supply module, and it is convenient to plug and unplug in all directions without interfering with each other.
[0008] Secondly, the lamp holder is connected to the mounting slot on the top of the socket body via a movable connecting rod, forming an integrated structure. This eliminates the need for an external independent lamp, saving desktop space and avoiding messy cables. The lamp holder can extend or retract, meeting the dual needs of a main light and a night light, and the switching operation is convenient.
[0009] When the lamp holder is placed inside the mounting slot, the bottom of the emitting surface is partially obscured, with only the outer edge exposed. This results in indirect, diffused light rather than direct illumination, providing soft, non-glaring brightness suitable for nighttime guidance. Simultaneously, the lamp holder does not protrude significantly from the top of the socket, maintaining a clean and compact overall appearance. When the lamp holder extends beyond the mounting slot, the emitting surface rises and is fully exposed, allowing it to be used as a light source. Compared to its retracted state, this provides a wider range of illumination, meeting the lighting needs of desktop work areas.
[0010] In summary, this application achieves a low center of gravity and stable support, as well as a reasonable interface layout, through a truncated quadrangular structure; the lamp holder is integrated into the top mounting slot via a movable connecting rod, which saves desktop space while maintaining functional flexibility, keeping the overall structure compact and the appearance simple, and significantly improving ease of use and comfort.
[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the lamp holder has a flat structure, the light-emitting surface of the lamp holder is made of a light-transmitting material, and the lamp holder has a built-in light-emitting device.
[0012] The flat structure of the lamp holder does not significantly increase the size of the socket, maintaining the overall compactness of the structure; the built-in light-emitting device emits light through the light-emitting surface, and the light-emitting surface of the light-transmitting material makes the light uniform and soft.
[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the light-emitting surface of the lamp holder includes a lower end surface and a connecting surface, wherein the lower end surface has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the mounting groove.
[0014] The smaller diameter of the lower end allows it to be easily embedded in the mounting slot, providing a space for lamp holder storage; the design of the connecting surface creates conditions for the subsequent part to be embedded in the mounting slot and form an edge lighting effect.
[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting surface is an inclined surface that connects the lower end surface to the outer peripheral surface of the lamp holder, and the diameter of the lamp holder is larger than the diameter of the mounting groove; the connecting surface can be partially embedded in the mounting groove.
[0016] The inclined design of the connecting surface allows for a smooth transition between the outer circumference of the lamp holder and the mounting groove, resulting in a clean appearance; the lamp holder diameter is larger than the mounting groove to ensure that the outer edge is exposed to emit light, achieving an indirect lighting effect without glare; the partially embedded design takes into account both positioning and movement clearance.
[0017] In some embodiments of this application, a straight groove is provided in the middle of the mounting groove, one end of the movable connecting rod is movably connected to the side wall of the groove through a rotating shaft, and the other end of the movable connecting rod can be rotatably installed below the lamp holder.
[0018] The straight groove provides storage space for the movable connecting rod; the double-ended rotating connection allows the lamp holder to be both raised and lowered and rotated, flexibly adjusting the lighting angle and height.
[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the two side walls of the groove are provided with locking protrusions, and the two sides of the movable connecting rod are provided with locking grooves corresponding to the locking protrusions; the movable connecting rod can be embedded into the locking grooves when subjected to force, at which time the locking protrusions are engaged in the locking grooves.
[0020] The locking mechanism, consisting of a cam and a slot, locks the movable linkage in its retracted position, preventing the lamp holder from accidentally loosening or wobbling, thus improving structural stability and reliability.
[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the outer peripheral surface of the socket body includes outer surfaces facing four directions; among the four outer surfaces, two outer surfaces are provided with power-taking modules, each power-taking module including at least two sets of sockets that match electrical appliances, and the two outer surfaces provided with power-taking modules are arranged opposite to each other.
[0022] The four outer sides provide ample space for interface placement; the two outer sides are equipped with at least two sets of sockets to avoid crowded interfaces on the same side, making it easy for multiple devices to draw power at the same time and operate without interfering with each other.
[0023] In some embodiments of this application, a control button and multiple charging ports are provided on one of the outer surfaces, including USB ports and Type-C ports.
[0024] The control buttons and charging port are centrally located on one side for easy and unified operation; it is compatible with both USB and Type-C interfaces to meet the charging needs of different devices and improve the product's versatility.
[0025] In some embodiments of this application, a power cord is provided on one of the outer surfaces, and a control device is provided inside the socket body. The control device is electrically connected to the charging interface, the power supply module, and the lamp holder, and the power cord is connected to the plug.
[0026] The internal control device enables single-power-input multi-module power supply management, simplifying circuit wiring; the external power cord facilitates connection to mains power, and all functional modules are coordinated by the same control device, improving system integration.
[0027] In some embodiments of this application, a suction cup is provided at the lower end of the socket body.
[0028] Preferably, the suction cup can be made of silicone material. The suction cup allows the application to be firmly attached to a flat tabletop, preventing the desktop socket from tipping over.
[0029] Based on common knowledge in the field, the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0033] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0035] A desktop socket with lighting function, as shown in Embodiment 1 Figures 1 to 4 As shown: The socket body 1 is a truncated pyramid structure with the upper port diameter smaller than the lower port diameter. Multiple charging ports 2 and multiple power supply modules 3 are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the socket body 1, which makes the bottom support area of the socket body 1 large and the center of gravity low, so that it is stable and not easy to tip over. At the same time, the four inclined outer peripheral surfaces provide ample space for the charging ports 2 and power supply modules 3, and it is convenient to plug and unplug in all directions without interfering with each other.
[0036] The socket body 1 has an installation slot 4 on its top. The installation slot 4 is connected to the lamp holder 6 via a movable connecting rod 5. The lamp holder 6 is connected to the installation slot 4 on the top of the socket body 1 via the movable connecting rod 5, forming an integrated structure. This eliminates the need for an external independent lamp, saves desktop space, and avoids messy cables. The lamp holder 6 can extend or retract to meet the dual needs of lighting and night light, and the switching operation is convenient.
[0037] The bottom surface of the lamp holder 6 is the light-emitting surface. The lamp holder 6 can extend out of the mounting groove 4 or cover the mounting groove 4 under force. When the lamp holder 6 covers the mounting groove 4, the bottom of the light-emitting surface of the lamp holder 6 is located inside the mounting groove 4, while the outer edge of the light-emitting surface is exposed outside the mounting groove 4. When the lamp holder 6 covers the mounting groove 4, the bottom of the light-emitting surface is located inside the mounting groove 4, forming a shield, with only the outer edge exposed to emit light. This results in indirect scattering rather than direct illumination, providing soft and non-glaring brightness, suitable for nighttime ambient lighting. Simultaneously, the lamp holder 6 does not protrude significantly from the top of the socket body 1, maintaining a clean and compact overall appearance. When the lamp holder 6 extends out of the mounting groove 4, the light-emitting surface is raised and fully exposed, allowing it to be used as a lighting lamp. Compared to its retracted state, it provides a wider range of illumination, meeting the lighting needs of the desktop work area.
[0038] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 6As shown, the lamp holder 6 has a flat structure, and the light-emitting surface of the lamp holder 6 is made of a light-transmitting material. The lamp holder 6 has a built-in light-emitting device. The flat structure of the lamp holder 6 does not significantly increase the size of the socket, and can maintain the compactness of the overall structure; the built-in light-emitting device allows light to pass through the light-emitting surface, and the light-transmitting material on the light-emitting surface makes the light uniform and soft.
[0039] The light-emitting surface of the lamp holder 6 includes a lower end surface 61 and a connecting surface 62. The lower end surface 61 has a diameter smaller than that of the mounting groove 4. The smaller diameter of the lower end surface 61 allows it to be easily embedded into the mounting groove 4, providing a space for the lamp holder 6 to be stored. The connecting surface 62 is designed to create conditions for the subsequent part to be embedded into the mounting groove 4 and to form an edge-emitting effect.
[0040] The connecting surface 62 is an inclined surface, connecting the lower end surface 61 and the outer peripheral surface of the lamp holder 6. The diameter of the lamp holder 6 is larger than the opening of the mounting groove 4. The connecting surface 62 can be partially embedded into the mounting groove 4. The inclined design of the connecting surface 62 ensures a smooth transition between the outer peripheral surface of the lamp holder 6 and the mounting groove 4, resulting in a neat appearance. The larger diameter of the lamp holder 6 than the mounting groove 4 ensures that the outer edge is exposed for light emission, achieving an indirect lighting effect without glare. The partially embedded design balances positioning and movement clearance.
[0041] The mounting slot 4 has a straight groove 9 in the middle. One end of the movable connecting rod 5 is movably connected to the side wall of the groove 9 via a pivot 10, and the other end of the movable connecting rod 5 can be rotatably installed below the lamp holder 6. The straight groove 9 provides storage space for the movable connecting rod 5; the double-end rotatable connection allows the lamp holder 6 to both rise and fall and rotate, flexibly adjusting the lighting angle and height.
[0042] The groove 9 has protrusions 7 on both sides of its sidewalls, and the movable connecting rod 5 has grooves 8 on both sides corresponding to the protrusions 7. When the movable connecting rod 5 is subjected to force, it can be embedded into the grooves 8, at which point the protrusions 7 are engaged in the grooves 8. The protrusions 7 and grooves 8 cooperate to lock the movable connecting rod 5 in its retracted position, preventing the lamp holder 6 from accidentally loosening or shaking, and improving structural stability and reliability.
[0043] The outer periphery of the socket body 1 includes outer sides facing four directions. Two of these outer sides are each equipped with a power-gathering module 3, which includes at least two sets of sockets that match the electrical appliances. The two outer sides equipped with the power-gathering modules 3 are arranged opposite each other. The four outer sides provide ample space for interface arrangement; the two outer sides are configured with at least two sets of sockets to avoid congestion on the same side, facilitating simultaneous power supply to multiple devices without interference.
[0044] One of the outer surfaces is equipped with a control button 11 and multiple charging ports 2, including USB and Type-C ports. The control button 11 and charging ports 2 are arranged on one side for easy and unified operation; they are compatible with both USB and Type-C ports to meet the charging needs of different devices and improve product versatility.
[0045] A power cord 12 is installed on one of the outer surfaces. A control device is installed inside the socket body 1. The control device is electrically connected to the charging interface 2, the power supply module 3, and the lamp holder 6. The power cord 12 is connected to the plug 13. The internal control device realizes single power input and multi-module power supply management, simplifying circuit wiring; the external power cord 12 facilitates connection to the mains power, and all functional modules are coordinated by the same control device, improving system integration.
[0046] A suction cup is provided at the lower end of the socket body 1. The suction cup can be made of silicone material. The suction cup allows the socket to be firmly attached to a flat tabletop, preventing it from tipping over.
[0047] The rest of the contents of Example 2 are the same as those of Example 1.
[0048] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the present application and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to the present application without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
