Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The present utility model relates to an improvement of a power outlet. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] A power outlet is a device that provides a power supply connection for electrical devices.

[0003] It is typically mounted on a wall or placed on a table or similar surface and has multiple contact openings to accommodate the shapes and specifications of various plugs. Common socket types include two-prong, three-prong, and multi-prong sockets; further subdivided by country into Chinese standard sockets, Japanese standard sockets, European standard sockets, etc.

[0004] The main function of a wall socket is to safely transfer electrical energy from the mains to electrical devices. To ensure safety when using electricity, wall sockets are usually equipped with several protective features, such as overload protection, residual current protection, etc.

[0005] As far as materials are concerned, the casing of a socket is usually made of insulating materials such as plastic, while the inside consists of conductive metal parts.

[0006] With the development of technology, smart sockets have emerged that can be remotely controlled via a smartphone app, allowing them to be switched on and off according to a schedule, thus bringing greater convenience to people's lives. In daily life and at work, sockets are indispensable electrical connection devices that create the basic conditions for the proper operation of various electrical appliances.

[0007] Nowadays, a power bank is a commonly used electronic device for charging USB-connected devices such as mobile phones. However, recharging existing power banks requires a cable and a charging adapter, which is quite inconvenient. CONTENTS OF THE PRESENT USE SAMPLE

[0008] To overcome the disadvantage that a power bank can currently only be charged in combination with a charging adapter and a charging cable, the present utility model provides a socket into which a power bank can be plugged.

[0009] According to the present utility model, the problem is solved by a socket into which a power bank can be plugged. It comprises a main plug body and an extension cable with a plug, wherein a connection recess with a socket is provided at one end face of the main plug body. It further comprises a power bank, at the end of which a plug part is formed, wherein the plug part is inserted into the connection recess for power supply, and wherein, after the two components are plugged together, the power bank is connected to the main plug body.

[0010] To make assembly easier for the user and to prevent incorrect operation, the cross-sectional shape of the main connector body matches the cross-sectional shape of the power bank.

[0011] Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the main plug body has a rectangular shape, with the extension cable and the connection recess arranged on two symmetrical smallest end faces.

[0012] To prevent the connection from coming loose, the connector part is located on an end face of the power bank, and this end face rests against the end face of the main connector body which has the connection recess.

[0013] In a preferred structural embodiment, a battery and an AC-DC converter board are integrated into the power bank.

[0014] Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the USB interfaces on the power bank include a micro-USB interface and a normal USB interface.

[0015] To facilitate sharing, the USB ports on the power bank are located on the front of the power bank.

[0016] To make it easier to see the charge level, the power bank also has a display screen.

[0017] Furthermore, it is planned that the display screen will also be located on the front of the power bank and will be designed as a two-digit LCD display screen.

[0018] Furthermore, the power bank is also designed to be rectangular.

[0019] When using the present utility model, the power bank can be plugged onto the main connector body for use, thereby simultaneously achieving charging and providing a USB interface charging service, or after completion of the charging process, the power bank can be removed from the main connector body and used like a power bank according to the prior art.

[0020] Advantageous effects of this utility model: 1. It eliminates the need to carry a charging adapter and cable, reducing the number of accessories and making it easier to carry and use, especially improving convenience on the go. No storage space is required for charging adapters and cables, making backpacks or bags tidier and saving space. The problem of easily losing or forgetting charging adapters and cables is avoided. 2. Direct connection to the wall socket may support higher charging power, reduce charging time, and enable fast, high-power charging. 3. Without unnecessary cables that can get tangled, the overall design is cleaner. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a power bank and a main connector according to an exemplary embodiment in a separated state. Fig. Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment, Fig. Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of the power bank and the main connector body in a separate state from a different perspective. Fig. Figure 4 shows a schematic perspective view of the power bank. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present utility model will be discussed in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and an exemplary embodiment.

[0022] It will be on Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig.4. A socket into which a power bank 5 can be plugged comprises a main connector 1 and an extension cable 3 with a plug 2, wherein a connection recess 4 with a socket is provided at one end face of the main connector 1. It further comprises a power bank 5, at the end of which a plug part 6 is formed. To supply power, the plug part 6 is inserted into the connection recess 4, whereby after the two components are connected, the power bank 5 is connected to the main connector 1.
