By laying the plurality of power supply connection parts flat, the size of the socket device is large, the occupied space is wide, and the use is inconvenient.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] In view of the above circumstances, the embodiment of this application provides an outlet device that solves the problem of outlet devices being directly placed on the desk surface, being easily displaced by external forces, and being inconvenient to use. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The embodiments of this application are The first outlet module and A second outlet module is arranged opposite the first outlet module in a first direction, wherein a clamping space is formed between the second outlet module and the first outlet module, and a power supply connection is installed in at least one of the first outlet module and the second outlet module. The present invention provides an outlet device including a connecting member that is fixedly connected to the first outlet module and movably connected to the second outlet module, thereby allowing adjustment of the relative positions of the second outlet module and the first outlet module in a first direction, and further adjusting the dimensions of the clamping space in the first direction. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] According to the embodiment of the outlet device of this application, the relative positions of the first outlet module and the second outlet module of the outlet device are adjustable, and a clamping space is formed between the first and second outlet modules. This allows the first and second outlet modules to be directly clamped and installed on different sides of the external structure, further restricting the position of the outlet device relative to the external structure and preventing the outlet device from being easily displaced by external forces. In addition, the first and second outlet modules are each equipped with power supply connection parts that dock to the external electrical structure. This allows for the distribution of the load when multiple power supply connection parts are concentrated on the same outlet module, thereby reducing the area occupied by the first and second outlet modules on the surface of the external structure and making the outlet device more convenient to use.

[0008] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are for interpretation purposes only and are not intended to limit this application.
[0009] Currently, specific technical solutions will be described in detail with reference to drawings that are not necessarily created according to scale. Similar or identical reference numerals can be used to designate identical or similar parts in different drawings. The use of similar or identical reference numerals in different drawings does not mean that all drawings containing similar or identical reference numerals constitute one or the same embodiment. The drawings illustrate various embodiments relating to this application in a general and illustrative manner, not restrictively.
[0010] Desktop power outlets are designed to be installed in conference tables and office desks for various interfaces such as computer networks, telephone networks, and power supplies. However, conventional desktop power outlets are generally fixed to the desk surface with screws or similar fasteners, making installation relatively cumbersome and requiring tools. They are inconvenient to attach and detach, and are only compatible with desk surfaces of a single thickness standard. There is room for improvement in the flexibility and convenience of attaching and detaching these power outlets.
[0011] Based on the technical problems described above, this application provides an outlet device that improves the structure of the outlet device, making it applicable to the assembly of the outlet device on panels of different thickness standards, allowing for quick and easy attachment and detachment, offering relatively good flexibility and convenience, and improving the user experience.
[0012] Based on the above design concept, this application provides an outlet device 10a, Figure 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of the outlet device 10a in this application, Figure 2 shows a schematic top view of Figure 1, and Figure 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of Figure 2 AA. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the outlet device in one embodiment of this application when assembled on a panel. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the outlet device 10a includes a first outlet module 100, a second outlet module 200, and a connecting member 300. The first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 are arranged facing each other in a first direction. A power supply connection part 120 is installed in at least one of the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200. A clamping space S is formed between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200. A panel 500 (shown in Figure 4), such as a desk surface, can be placed in the clamping space S between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200. Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of the outlet device 10a assembled on the panel 500. As shown in Figure 4, the outlet device 10a according to this application has a first outlet module 100 and a second outlet module 200 installed facing each other in a first direction, and there is a gap between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200, so that a panel 500 such as a desk surface can be placed between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200, and the outlet device 10a is clamped to the panel 500 by both surfaces of the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 contacting the surface of the panel 500 respectively. The connecting member 300 is fixedly connected to the first outlet module 100 and is movably connected to the second outlet module 200, so that the relative position of the second outlet module 200 and the first outlet module 100 in a first direction can be adjusted, further adjusting the dimensions of the clamping space S in a first direction, and further allowing the outlet device 10a to be clamped to a panel 500 of different thicknesses.
[0013] The outlet device 10a further includes an adjusting member 400 rotatably connected to the second outlet module 200, the adjusting member 400 avoiding the clamping space S and connected to a connecting member 300, and as the adjusting member 400 rotates around its axial direction, the relative movement of the adjusting member 400 and the connecting member 300 causes the second outlet module 200 and the first outlet module 100 to move relative to each other in a first direction, and further adjusts the dimension of the clamping space S in a first direction.
[0014] The connecting member 300 is connected to the first outlet module 100, and the adjusting member 400 is rotatably connected to the second outlet module 200 and connected to the connecting member 300. By rotating the adjusting member 400, the second outlet module 200 and the first outlet module 100 can be moved relative to each other, that is, by moving the second outlet module 200 closer to or further away from the first outlet module 100, the dimension of the clamping space S between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 (the distance between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200) can be adjusted, and further, the outlet device 10a can be adapted and assembled to panels 500 of different thickness specifications. Since the distance between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 can be adjusted simply by rotating the adjusting member 400, it has relatively good attachment / detachment flexibility and convenience, improving the user experience.
[0015] The specific installation details of the outlet device 10a will be further explained below through Figures 4 to 21.
[0016] As shown in Figure 4, for the sake of explanation, the following description will assume that the first outlet module 100 is positioned above the second outlet module 200. When the outlet device 10a is assembled on the panel 500, the first outlet module 100 is located on the top surface of the panel 500, and the second outlet module 200 is located on the bottom surface of the panel 500; that is, the first direction is vertical. Of course, in other embodiments, the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 may be installed at an angle to the vertical, or the second outlet module 200 may be positioned above the first outlet module 100. Installation may be done according to the content described in this application, and a detailed explanation of this is omitted here.
[0017] Both the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 further include multiple power supply connection points 120, which are installed on different oriented sides of the first outlet housing 12 and the second outlet housing 32, respectively, and the types of the multiple power supply connection points 120 are either the same or different. On the one hand, by providing more power supply connection points 120, it is possible to plug in and obtain power from more power-consuming devices, thereby enhancing the usability of the outlet device 10a, and on the other hand, by adopting different types of power supply connection points 120, it can be adapted to the connection needs of power-consuming devices with different plugs, thereby expanding the scope of application.
[0018] The power supply connection section 120 may be at least one of the following: a two-port power supply connection section, a three-port power supply connection section, a USB power supply connection section, a Lightning power supply connection section, a Type-C power supply connection section, etc., but is not limited to these.
[0019] In this application, the first outlet module 100 is a DC (direct current) module and the second outlet module 200 is an AC (alternating current) module, respectively. Of course, the first outlet module 100 may be an AC (alternating current) module and the second outlet module 200 may be a DC (direct current) module.
[0020] In some embodiments, the first outlet module 100 is installed on the top surface of the panel 500, so the first outlet module 100 may be a DC power supply module that is frequently used on a daily basis, and the power supply connection section 120 of the first outlet module 100 includes at least one of a 3-pin socket 122, a 2-pin socket (not shown), and a charging interface 124, and the charging interface 124 includes at least one of a USB interface, a Type-C interface, and a wireless charging interface (not shown), for example, as shown in Figure 1, a 3-pin socket 122 is provided on the top surface of the first outlet module 100, and a USB interface and a Type-C interface are provided on the inner surface of the first outlet module 100, thereby meeting the power supply needs of different types of devices and providing a high degree of integration. The second outlet module 200 is installed on the bottom surface of the panel 500, so the second outlet module 200 may be an AC power supply module that is not frequently used on a daily basis. For example, Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of Figure 1 viewed from a different angle. As shown in Figure 5, the second outlet module 200 is provided with three-prong sockets 122 at both ends, and also with a three-prong socket 122 on the bottom surface of the second outlet module 200. The power connector 210 of the outlet device 10a is also routed out from the bottom surface of the second outlet module 200, and the outlet power line 90 is used to connect commercial power to the outlet device 10a. In other embodiments, the outlet device 10a can be customized by appropriately adjusting the type of sockets of the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 according to the user's needs, thereby meeting various types of client needs and having relatively good practicality.
[0021] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, the first outlet module 100 has a first clamping surface 11 that is installed facing the second outlet module 200, and as shown in Figure 7, the second outlet module 200 has a second clamping surface 31 that is installed facing the first outlet module 100. The first clamping surface 11 and the second clamping surface 31 are installed with a gap between them so that they fit together to form a clamping space S. Therefore, the method and structure of forming the clamping space S are simple, the first clamping surface 11 clamps and contacts the upper surface of the desk surface, and the second clamping surface 31 clamps and contacts the lower surface of the desk surface, resulting in a large contact area, which contributes to improving the stability of mounting the outlet device 10a to the desk surface. In addition, when mounting, the width of the clamping space S is increased, the opening is aligned with the side edge of the desk surface, and then the outlet device 10a is moved laterally in parallel, so that the edge of the desk surface can engage with the clamping space S, making the assembly method easy to operate.
[0022] Furthermore, the first outlet module 100 includes a first outlet housing 12, and one end of the connecting member 300 is fixedly connected to the first outlet housing 12, so that the connecting member 300 and the first outlet module 100 can move synchronously, and the first outlet housing 12 has a first clamping surface 11. The second outlet module 200 includes a second outlet housing 32, and the other end of the connecting member 300 is movably assembled to the second outlet housing 32, so that the relative position between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 can be adjusted, and the second outlet housing 32 has a second clamping surface 31.
[0023] To prevent the outlet device 10a from loosening and displacing after installation, affecting installation stability and safety during use, and to prevent excessive clamping force from damaging the desk surface, the outlet device 10a further includes a first anti-slip member 140 attached to the first clamping surface 11, and / or the outlet device 10a further includes a second anti-slip member 220 attached to the second clamping surface 31.
[0024] Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the first anti-slip member 140 being assembled to the first outlet module 100, and Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of the second anti-slip member 220 being assembled to the second outlet module 200. Patterns may be installed on the sides of the first anti-slip member 140 and the second anti-slip member 220 that face the panel 500. When the outlet device 10a is assembled to the panel 500, the coefficient of friction between the first anti-slip member 140 and the second anti-slip member 220 and the panel 500 increases, thereby preventing the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 from moving relative to the panel 500 and improving the robustness of the assembly of the outlet device 10a to the panel 500.
[0025] Specifically, in some embodiments, two or more first anti-slip members 140 may be arranged at intervals on the bottom surface of the first outlet module 100 in the longitudinal direction of the first outlet module 100, and the first anti-slip members 140 may be washers, and the first anti-slip members 140 are fitted or bonded to the bottom surface of the first outlet module 100. Two or more second anti-slip members 220 may be arranged at intervals on the top surface of the second outlet module 200 in the longitudinal direction of the second outlet module 200, and the second anti-slip members 220 may also be washers, and the second anti-slip members 220 are fitted or bonded to the top surface of the second outlet module 200. In some other embodiments, the first anti-slip members 140 may be arranged on the bottom surface of the first outlet module 100 so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the first outlet module 100, and the second anti-slip members 220 may be arranged on the top surface of the second outlet module 200 so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the second outlet module 200, and this application is not limited thereto.
[0026] In some embodiments, the outlet device 10a may include both the first anti-slip member 140 and the second anti-slip member 220, or it may include only one of the first anti-slip member 140 and the second anti-slip member 220, and this application is not limited thereto.
[0027] Figure 8 shows a schematic diagram of the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 assembled, and Figure 9 shows an exploded schematic diagram of Figure 8. For clarity of representation, Figures 8 and 9 omit the upper cover portion of the first outlet module 100 and the bottom cover portion of the second outlet module 200. As shown in Figures 6 to 9, since the second outlet module 200 can move closer to or further away from the first outlet module 100, the outlet device 10a in this application may further include a first guide portion 600 and a second guide portion 700 to enable the second outlet module 200 to move in a predetermined direction relative to the first outlet module 100, the first guide portion 600 being connected to the first outlet module 100 and the second guide portion 700 being connected to the second outlet module 200, and the second guide portion 700 and the first guide portion 600 being inserted and connected. By adjusting the second outlet module 200 to move closer to or further away from the first outlet module 100, the second guide section 700 also moves back and forth synchronously within the first guide section 600, thereby guiding the direction of movement of the second outlet module 200 relative to the first outlet module 100, and allowing the second outlet module 200 to move in a predetermined direction (first direction) relative to the first outlet module 100.
[0028] Figure 10 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the first guide section 600. As shown in Figures 9 and 10, specifically, the first guide section 600 is connected to the side of the first outlet module 100 facing the second outlet module 200, that is, the first guide section 600 is connected to the first clamping surface 11, and the first guide section 600 has a first guide groove 620 formed therein, which is a through groove extending in the vertical direction. The opening of the first guide groove 620 faces in the horizontal direction (for example, toward the guide projection 720 for assembly). The second guide portion 700 is connected to the side of the second outlet module 200 facing the first outlet module 100, that is, the second guide portion 700 is connected to the second clamping surface 31 of the second outlet module 200, and the second guide portion 700 has a guide projection 720, which is assembled into the first guide groove 620 from the opening side of the first guide groove 620, and moves back and forth in the vertical direction within the first guide groove 620 to restrict the direction of movement of the second outlet module 200.
[0029] As shown in Figures 8 to 10, in some embodiments, the first guide portion 600 engages with the first outlet module 100. Specifically, the first guide portion 600 is a plate structure, with connecting protrusions 640 provided on both sides of the upper end of the first guide portion 600, an assembly hole 160 provided in the bottom surface of the first outlet module 100, the upper end of the first guide portion 600 passing through the assembly hole 160, and the connecting protrusions 640 are hooked onto the inside of the bottom surface of the first outlet module 100. In some other embodiments, the first guide portion 600 may be integrally molded with the first outlet module 100.
[0030] In some embodiments, the second guide portion 700 is integrally molded with the second outlet module 200, and specific assembly methods of the second guide portion 700 and the second outlet module 200 can be found in the related descriptions above; therefore, a detailed description is omitted here in this application.
[0031] In some other embodiments, the second guide portion 700 is provided with a first guide groove 620, and the first guide portion 600 has a guide projection 720 that moves back and forth within the first guide groove 620, thereby similarly restricting the direction of movement of the second outlet module 200. A detailed explanation of this is omitted in this application.
[0032] As shown in Figures 6 to 10, the outlet device 10a further includes a decorative member 800 connected to one of the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200, and a decorative space 820 is provided in the decorative member 800, and at least a part of the first guide part 600, at least a part of the second guide part 700, and the part of the connecting member 300 located between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 are all installed within the decorative space 820. In this way, as the second outlet module 200 moves relative to the first outlet module 100, the first guide part 600 and the second guide part 700 move within the decorative space 820, and the part of the connecting member 300 located between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 is also installed within the decorative space 820, so that the above members are further concealed by the decorative member 800, and a neat and beautiful appearance of the product can be achieved.
[0033] In some embodiments, the decorative member 800 is connected to the bottom surface of the first outlet module 100. For example, the decorative member 800 has an elliptical cross-section and is integrally molded with the first outlet module 100.
[0034] Figure 11 is a schematic structural diagram of Figure 8 viewed from a different angle. As shown in Figure 11, a decorative groove 260 is provided on the upper surface of the second outlet module 200, and at least a portion of the decorative member 800 is movably installed within the decorative groove 260. In this way, as the second outlet module 200 moves relative to the first outlet module 100, the decorative member 800 moves within the decorative groove 260, allowing the decorative member 800 to completely fill the space between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200, ensuring a neat and beautiful appearance of the product. Furthermore, the decorative member 800 can be used to center the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200, making it easier to assemble the outlet device 10a onto the panel 500. In some other embodiments, the decorative member 800 may be connected to the upper surface of the second outlet module 200, and the decorative groove 260 may be provided on the bottom surface of the first outlet module 100, and the decorative member 800 may similarly fill the space between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200, thereby achieving the technical effect of ensuring an orderly and beautiful appearance of the product.
[0035] As shown in Figure 11, the decorative groove 260 is positioned opposite the assembly hole 160, the guide projection 720 of the second guide portion 700 is integrally molded with one side wall of the decorative groove 260, there is a gap between the second guide portion 700 and the other side wall of the decorative groove 260, and the connecting member 300 can enter the second outlet module 200 through this gap.
[0036] In some embodiments, the second guide portion 700 is movably inserted into a decorative space 820 of the decorative member 800 and positioned on the inner wall of the decorative space 820. It guides the movement of the second guide portion 700 and further moves the second outlet module 200 in a predetermined direction. Figure 12 shows a schematic diagram of the decorative member 800 and the first outlet module 100 assembled. As shown in Figure 12, a second guide groove 840 is provided on the inner wall of the decorative member 800, and the second guide groove 840 is provided to penetrate along the direction from the first outlet module 100 to the second outlet module 200, that is, the second guide groove 840 penetrates in the longitudinal direction, and at least a portion of the second guide portion 700 is fitted into the second guide groove 840. In this way, the second guide groove 840 restricts the direction of movement of the second guide portion 700 and ensures that the second outlet module 200 moves in a predetermined direction.
[0037] As shown in Figure 12, the side of the second guide groove 840 facing the panel 500 is open, that is, the outside of the decorative member 800 is sealed and the inside of the decorative member 800 is open, the second guide portion 700 is connected to the side of the decorative groove 260 facing the panel 500, and the second guide portion 700 is installed between the first guide portion 600 and the open side of the second guide groove 840, that is, the second guide portion 700 reciprocates between the first guide portion 600 and the open side of the second guide groove 840. In this way, not only can the neat and beautiful appearance of the product be guaranteed, but the structure of the product can be made more compact and the robustness when the outlet device 10a is assembled to the panel 500 can be improved.
[0038] The first guide portion 600 and decorative member 800 of this application are connected to the outside of the bottom surface of the first outlet module 100, and the second guide portion 700 is connected to the outside of the top surface of the second outlet module 200. In this way, when the outlet device 10a is assembled to the panel 500, the dimensions of the outlet device 10a that protrude from the panel 500 can be reduced as much as possible, ensuring a neat panel 500 on the one hand, and on the other hand, preventing to some extent the user's clothes, etc. from getting caught on the outlet device 10a, thereby improving the user experience.
[0039] Figure 13 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the connecting member 300. As shown in Figure 13, the connecting member 300 includes a tension plate 340 and a support portion 320. One end of the tension plate 340 is connected to the first outlet module 100, and the other end of the tension plate 340 extends toward the second outlet module 200. The support portion 320 is connected to the other end of the tension plate 340. Specifically, the tension plate 340 includes a connecting segment 342 and a linking segment 344. The connecting segment 342 and the linking segment 344 may be integrally molded or connected by engagement or the like. The connecting segment 342 is positioned horizontally and extends into the first outlet module 100. The connecting segment 342 is connected to the bottom surface of the first outlet module 100 by a screw or other component, thereby enabling assembly of the connecting segment 342 and the first outlet module 100. The connecting segment 344 penetrates the first outlet module 100 vertically and extends into the second outlet module 200, forming an L-shaped tension plate 340, and the support portion 320 is connected to the end of the connecting segment 344 that is spaced apart from the connecting segment 342.
[0040] Figure 14 shows a schematic diagram of the tension plate 340 and the second outlet module 200 assembled. As shown in Figure 14, the second guide portion 700 is provided with a first limiting groove 740, and the opening side of the first limiting groove 740 faces in the opposite direction to the first guide portion 600. The connecting segment 344 is inserted into the first limiting groove 740, thereby restricting the extension direction of the connecting segment 344. This allows the connecting segment 342 to be fixed to the bottom surface of the first outlet module 100 using fewer screws or other components, thus simplifying the assembly of the product.
[0041] As shown in Figure 14, the other end of the tension plate 340 extends into the second outlet module 200, thereby installing at least a portion of the support 320 and the adjustment member 400 connected to the support 320 inside the second outlet module 200. The second outlet module 200 hides the support 320 and the adjustment member 400, improving the aesthetics of the product.
[0042] Figure 15 shows a schematic structural diagram of Figure 14 viewed from a different angle. As shown in Figure 15, a second limiting groove 280 is provided on the inner wall of the second outlet module 200, with the opening side of the second limiting groove 280 facing the first guide portion 600, and the opening directions of the first limiting groove 740 and the second limiting groove 280 are opposite. The connecting segment 344 is fitted and inserted into the second limiting groove 280, thereby restricting the extension direction of the connecting segment 344 and facilitating the assembly of the product.
[0043] In this application, both the first restricting groove 740 and the second restricting groove 280 may be provided, or only one may be provided. In either case, the technical effect of restricting the extension direction of the connecting segment 344 and facilitating product assembly can be achieved. Furthermore, the fact that at least a portion of the first guide portion 600 and at least a portion of the second guide portion 700 are installed in the decorative space 820 means that the entire first guide portion 600 and the second guide portion 700 may be installed in the decorative space 820, or a portion of the first guide portion 600 and the second guide portion 700 may be installed in the decorative space 820. Specifically, this can be achieved depending on the length of the decorative member 800.
[0044] Figure 16 shows another schematic diagram of the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 of the outlet device 10a being assembled, and Figure 17 shows an exploded schematic diagram of Figure 16. As shown in Figures 16 and 17, in some other embodiments, the outlet device 10a cancels out the first guide section 600 and the second guide section 700, and the decorative member 800 is fitted and inserted into the decorative groove 260, and the decorative member 800 guides the movement of the second outlet module 200 relative to the first outlet module 100 by reciprocating within the decorative groove 260, and the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 can also be assembled and centered, and the assembly of the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 is facilitated.
[0045] Figure 18 shows a schematic diagram of the tension plate 340 and the first outlet module 100 assembled as shown in Figure 16. As shown in Figure 18, a through hole 180 is provided in the bottom surface of the first outlet module 100, and the connecting segment 344 of the tension plate 340 fits through the through hole 180 and passes through the decorative member 800 into the second outlet module 200. The through hole 180 also restricts the extension direction of the connecting segment 344, and the connecting segment 342 can be fixedly assembled to the bottom surface of the first outlet module 100 using only a few screws or other components, thus simplifying the assembly of the product.
[0046] Figure 19 shows an exploded schematic diagram of the connecting member 300. As shown in Figure 19, in some embodiments, the support portion 320 of the connecting member 300 is installed on the outside of the first outlet module 100 and is located on the side of the first outlet module 100 facing the second outlet module 200, i.e., the support portion 320 and the first outlet module 100 are spaced apart, and the adjustment member 400 twists and passes through the support portion 320. The rotating adjustment member 400 is movable relative to the support portion 320 and the first outlet module 100, and drives the second outlet module 200 closer to or further away from the first outlet module 100, adjusting the dimensions of the clamping space S between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 (the distance between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200), and can also be applied to the assembly of the outlet device 10a to panels 500 of different thickness specifications.
[0047] As shown in Figure 19, the support portion 320 is a carrier on which the adjustment member 400 rotates, and the support portion 320 is provided with a connection hole 322, into which the connecting segment 344 is inserted, and the connecting segment 344 is assembled and connected to the support portion 320 via a screw or other component, thereby fixing the support portion 320 and the tension plate 340 relative to each other, and further fixing the support portion 320 relative to the first outlet module 100. In some other embodiments, the support portion 320 may be integrally molded with the connecting segment 344, and this is not limited to the present application.
[0048] In some embodiments, the support portion 320 may be positioned horizontally within the second outlet module 200, so that the support portion 320 and the first outlet module 100 are positioned facing each other. The second outlet module 200 is movable relative to the first outlet module 100, and the connecting member 300 is connected to the first outlet module 100, i.e., the connecting member 300 is fixed relative to the first outlet module 100, so that the second outlet module 200 is movable relative to the support portion 320 of the connecting member 300. In other embodiments, the support portion 320 has a certain inclination angle, and the support portion 320 may be positioned inclined within the second outlet module 200.
[0049] As shown in Figure 19, a screw hole 324 is provided in the support portion 320, and the screw hole 324 is provided vertically through the support portion 320, and the adjustment member 400 is screw-connected to the screw hole 324. When the adjustment member 400 is rotated, the adjustment member 400 is rotatable within the screw hole 324 and movable relative to the support portion 320. When the rotation of the adjustment member 400 is stopped, the adjustment member 400 can be fixed relative to the screw hole 324 by the self-locking function of the screw threads. Since the support portion 320 is positioned horizontally within the second outlet module 200, the adjustment member 400 moves vertically relative to the support portion 320, that is, the adjustment member 400 performs a vertical movement.
[0050] Figure 20 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the adjustment member 400. As shown in Figure 20, the adjustment member 400 has a rod-like structure, and at least a portion of the circumferential surface of the adjustment member 400 has screw threads 460, thereby screw-connecting the adjustment member 400 to the screw hole 324 of the support part 320.
[0051] Figure 21 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the adjustment member 400 and the second outlet module 200 when assembled. As shown in Figures 20 and 21, the second outlet module 200 is provided with an engagement groove 290, and the tip of the adjustment member 400 (i.e., the first end of the adjustment member 400) is rotatably engaged in the engagement groove 290. When the adjustment member 400 is rotated, the tip of the adjustment member 400 rotates within the engagement groove 290, and at the same time, the adjustment member 400 drives the second outlet module 200 to move up and down synchronously, and further drives the second outlet module 200 to move closer to or further away from the first outlet module 100. When assembling the outlet device 10a to the panel 500, first, the first outlet module 100 is placed on the top surface of the panel 500, the second outlet module 200 is placed in an appropriate position below the panel 500 using the decorative member 800, the adjustment member 400 is rotated so that the adjustment member 400 drives the second outlet module 200 to move toward the first outlet module 100, that is, the second outlet module 200 moves upward and makes close contact with the bottom surface of the panel 500, at which point the rotation of the adjustment member 400 is stopped, and the outlet device 10a can be assembled to the panel 500 in this way. If it is necessary to remove the outlet device 10a, the operation in the reverse direction is sufficient, and a detailed explanation of this is omitted in this application.
[0052] As shown in Figures 20 and 21, the engagement groove 290 is provided on the inner upper surface of the second outlet module 200, and a plurality of support protrusions 292 are installed on the inner wall of the engagement groove 290, and the plurality of support protrusions 292 are installed at intervals around the circumferential side of the engagement groove 290, and a plurality of overlapping connecting protrusions 420 are installed on the tip of the adjustment member 400, and the plurality of overlapping connecting protrusions 420 are installed at intervals so that the plurality of overlapping connecting protrusions 420 are brought together under the action of an external force, the tip of the adjustment member 400 moves through the support protrusions 292, and the overlapping connecting protrusions 420 are mounted on the support protrusions 292 so that the tip of the adjustment member 400 can rotate within the engagement groove 290 but cannot detach from the engagement groove 290.
[0053] As shown in Figures 20 and 21, the end portion of the adjustment member 400 (i.e., the second end of the adjustment member 400) movably penetrates the second outlet module 200, thereby positioning the end portion of the adjustment member 400 outside the second outlet module 200 and allowing the user to easily operate the adjustment member 400.
[0054] As shown in Figures 20 and 21, in some embodiments, the end of the adjustment member 400 movably penetrates the side of the second outlet module 200 opposite to the first outlet module 100, that is, the end of the adjustment member 400 is located below the bottom of the second outlet module 200, and an operating part 440 is located at the end of the adjustment member 400, with the operating part 440 located on the side of the second outlet module 200 opposite to the first outlet module 100. That is, the operating part 440 is located on the outside of the bottom surface of the second outlet module 200. The operating part 440 may be a nut, and the user can easily grasp the operating part 440 to operate the adjustment member 400.
[0055] Figure 22 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the adjustment member 400 in some other embodiments, Figure 23 shows an exploded schematic diagram of Figure 22, Figure 24 shows a schematic diagram of the adjustment member 400 and the second outlet module 200 assembled as shown in Figure 22, Figure 25 shows a schematic cross-section of Figure 24, and Figure 26 shows an enlarged schematic diagram of part A in Figure 25. As referred to in Figures 22 to 26, in some other embodiments, the second outlet module 200 is provided with a through hole 230, for example, the through hole 230 is provided at the bottom of the second outlet module 200, a plurality of first positioning grooves 232 are provided on the side wall of the through hole 230, the plurality of first positioning grooves 232 are installed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the through hole 230, the adjustment member 400 movably passes through the through hole 230, a first connecting groove 470 is provided on the circumferential surface of the adjustment member 400, and the outlet The assembly 10a further includes a positioning member 1000 and a first elastic member 1100, the positioning member 1000 having a first end and a second end, the first end of the positioning member 1000 being movably installed in the first connecting groove 470, the second end of the positioning member 1000 being movably and expandably inserted into the first connecting groove 470, the first elastic member 1100 may be a spring, the first elastic member 1100 being installed in the first connecting groove 470 and connected between the first end of the positioning member 1000 and the inner wall of the first connecting groove 470.
[0056] Under conditions where the user does not operate the adjustment member 400, the first elastic member 1100 supports the positioning member 1000, and the second end of the positioning member 1000 passes through the opening side of the first connecting groove 470, extends from the circumferential surface of the adjustment member 400, and moves into the first positioning groove 232. Under conditions where the user operates the adjustment member 400 to rotate it, the adjustment member 400 rotates the positioning member 1000 synchronously, the second end of the positioning member 1000 is pressed against the side wall of the first positioning groove 232, and the second end of the positioning member 1000 moves from the opening side of the first connecting groove 470 into the first connecting groove 470, while simultaneously compressing the first elastic member 1100. When the user continues to rotate the adjustment member 400 and the opening side of the first connecting groove 470 faces the opening side of the other first positioning groove 232, the return drive of the first elastic member 1100 causes the second end of the positioning member 1000 to pass through the opening side of the first connecting groove 470 and extend again from the circumferential surface of the adjustment member 400, moving into the other first positioning groove 232. In this way, the positioning member 1000 can repeatedly expand and contract in conjunction with the rotation of the adjustment member 400. When the second end of the positioning member 1000 moves into the first positioning groove 232, the second end of the positioning member 1000 collides with the groove wall of the first positioning groove 232, generating a clicking sound. This provides a damping sensation when the adjustment member 400 rotates, improving the tactile feedback when the user operates the adjustment member 400, making it highly practical.
[0057] As shown in Figure 26, the positioning member 1000 may be a rod structure, with the middle portion of the circumferential surface of the positioning member 1000 protruding beyond both ends, the first elastic member 1100 fitted to the first end of the positioning member 1000 and positioned between the middle portion of the positioning member 1000 and the bottom of the first positioning groove 232, the second end of the positioning member 1000 being spherically shaped and further smoothly pressed against the side wall of the first positioning groove 232, thereby driving the second end of the positioning member 1000 to move in the direction of the first connecting groove 470.
[0058] In this application, the multiple first positioning grooves 232 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the through hole 230, and the dimension of the first positioning grooves 232 in the direction of opening the through hole 230 must be larger than the stepping stroke of the adjustment member 400, thereby avoiding the opening of the first positioning grooves 232 restricting the stepping of the adjustment member 400.
[0059] Figure 27 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of Figure 22, and as shown in Figure 27, in some embodiments, the outlet device 10a further includes a second elastic member 1200, the second connection groove 480 provided at either the second end of the adjustment member 400 or the operating part 440, the second elastic member 1200 is connected to the other of the second end of the adjustment member 400 or the operating part 440, the second elastic member 1200 is inserted into the second connection groove 480 and is separable from the second connection groove 480. That is, the installation of the second elastic member 1200 allows the operating part 440 and the second end of the adjustment member 400 to be connected or separated. When the user rotates the operating part 440, the second elastic member 1200 connects the second end of the adjustment member 400 and the operating part 440, and the operating part 440 and the second end of the adjustment member 400 rotate synchronously to drive the second outlet module 200 to move toward the first outlet module. When the second outlet module 200 moves to the bottom of the panel 500, the second end of the adjustment member 400 cannot rotate continuously. If the user then continuously rotates the operating part 440, the second elastic member 1200 will detach from the second connecting groove 480, separating the operating part 440 from the second end of the adjustment member 400. The rotation of the operating part 440 will no longer be able to drive the continuous rotation of the adjustment member 400. In this way, when the adjustment member 400 is fixed, damage to the product due to the continuous rotation of the adjustment member 400 can be avoided, making it highly practical.
[0060] As shown in Figure 27, in a specific implementation, a storage chamber 442 is formed within the operating section 440, a mounting hole 444 is provided on one side of the operating section 440, the second end of the adjustment member 400 movably passes through the mounting hole 444 and is located within the storage chamber 442, a second connecting groove 480 is provided on the circumferential surface of the second end of the adjustment member 400, two positioning blocks 446 are installed within the storage chamber 442, the two positioning blocks 446 are installed facing each other on both sides of the second end of the adjustment member 400, the second elastic member 1200 has a substantially U-shaped structure, both ends of the second elastic member 1200 are respectively hooked onto the two positioning blocks 446, one connecting projection 1220 is installed in the middle of the second elastic member 1200, the connecting projection 1220 is spherical and is movably inserted into the second connecting groove 480. In another embodiment, the second connecting groove 480 may be provided in the operating section 440, and the second elastic member 1200 is connected to the second end of the adjustment member 400 and movably inserted into the second connecting groove 480 of the operating section 440, thereby similarly realizing the above technical solution.
[0061] Furthermore, the fact that the adjustment member 400 shown in this application avoids the clamping space S means that the adjustment member 400 in this application does not have a portion located between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200, thereby avoiding the adjustment member 400 from hindering close contact between the second outlet module 200 and the panel 500.
[0062] Figure 28 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a specific circuit board. As shown in Figure 28, in some embodiments, components for realizing the functions of the outlet device 10a, such as a circuit board 900, are installed inside the first outlet housing 12 and the second outlet housing 32, respectively. The circuit board 900 is used to electrically connect to each power supply connection part 120 and plays a role in control, current distribution, etc. To prevent the circuit board 900 from obstructing the raising and lowering of the adjustment member 400, a bypass portion 920 may be provided on the circuit board 900. The bypass portion 920 may be a perforated or grooved structure, and the adjustment member 400 passes through the bypass portion 920 with a gap, enabling the normal raising and lowering of the adjustment member 400.
[0063] As can be seen from the above, the outlet device 10a according to this application allows the second outlet module 200 to move closer to or further away from the first outlet module 100 by simply rotating the adjustment member 400, thereby adjusting the distance between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200. This facilitates the assembly of the outlet device 10a onto panels 500 of different thickness specifications, and allows the outlet device 10a to be assembled onto the panel 500 without the use of tools, providing relatively good flexibility and convenience for attachment and detachment.
[0064] Based on the same design philosophy, this application further provides an outlet device 10b. Figure 29 shows a schematic structural diagram of the outlet device 10b, Figure 30 shows a schematic top view of Figure 29, and Figure 31 shows a schematic BB cross-section of Figure 30. As shown in Figures 29 to 31, the outlet device 10b includes a first outlet module 100, a second outlet module 200, a connecting member 300, and an adjustment member 400, similar to the outlet device 10a. Unless otherwise specified, the structure and function of these members in the outlet device 10b are substantially the same as in the outlet device 10a, and can be described in the corresponding descriptions in Figures 1 to 21. In this application, a detailed description is omitted here.
[0065] Figure 32 shows a schematic diagram of the connection member 300 and adjustment member 400 of the outlet device 10b when assembled, and Figure 33 shows an exploded schematic diagram of Figure 31. As shown in Figures 32 and 33, the differences from the outlet device 10a are that the connection member 300 of the outlet device 10b is provided with a plurality of adjustment holes 326, which are arranged sequentially in the direction from the first outlet module 100 to the second outlet module 200 (i.e., the first direction), and a screw thread 460 is provided on at least a portion of the circumferential surface of the adjustment member 400, and the screw thread 460 fits into and engages with at least a portion of the adjustment holes 326.
[0066] According to the outlet device 10b of this application, the connecting member 300 is provided with a plurality of adjustment holes 326, which are arranged sequentially from the first outlet module 100 to the second outlet module 200, and the circumferential surface of the adjustment member 400 is provided with screw threads 460, which fit into and engage with at least some of the adjustment holes 326. Therefore, when the adjustment member 400 is rotated, the screw threads 460 of the adjustment member 400 can step within the plurality of adjustment holes 326, and further the adjustment member 400 is driven to move closer to or further away from the first outlet module 100. Since the adjustment member 400 is rotatably connected to the second outlet module 200, when the adjustment member 400 is rotated, it can move closer to or further away from the first outlet module 100 in synchronization with the second outlet module 200, thereby adjusting the distance between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200, and further enabling the outlet device 10 to be assembled to panels 500 of different thickness specifications. Because the distance between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 can be adjusted simply by rotating the adjustment member 400, it offers relatively good flexibility and convenience for attachment and detachment. The specific details of the outlet device 10 will be further described below with reference to the drawings.
[0067] In some embodiments, the connecting member 300 has a portion that is installed along the direction from the first outlet module 100 to the second outlet module 200, that is, the connecting member 300 has a portion that is arranged vertically (installed in the first direction), and this portion may be the connecting segment 344 of the outlet device 10a. The difference is that the connecting segment 344 of the outlet device 10a does not have adjustment holes 326, while the connecting segment 344 of the outlet device 10b has multiple adjustment holes 326, and the distance between adjacent adjustment holes 326 matches the pitch of the threads 460 of the adjustment member 400, so that when the adjustment member 400 is rotated, the threads 460 of the adjustment member 400 can step within the multiple adjustment holes 326, and further drive the adjustment member 400 to move closer to or further away from the first outlet module 100. Of course, in some embodiments, the connecting segment 344 of the outlet device 10a may have the adjustment holes 326, and the support portion 320 of the outlet device 10b may have a certain inclination angle.
[0068] Furthermore, the connecting member 300 has a portion that extends into the interior of the second outlet module 200 in the first direction, that is, the connecting segment 344 of the outlet device 10a has a portion that is inserted into the interior of the second outlet module 200, and the portion of the connecting member 300 located inside the second outlet module 200 is provided with the above-mentioned multiple adjustment holes 326. In this way, the portion of the connecting member 300 with the adjustment holes 326 and at least a part of the adjustment member 400 connected thereto are installed inside the second outlet module 200, and the support portion 320 and the adjustment member 400 are hidden by the second outlet module 200, improving the aesthetics of the product.
[0069] As shown in Figures 32 and 33, the adjustment member 400 steps within the adjustment hole 326 of the connecting segment 344, and the adjustment member 400 is supported by the connecting segment 344. Therefore, rotation of the adjustment member 400 is possible without the support portion 320, and the connecting member 300 of the outlet device 10b can cancel out the support portion 320.
[0070] As can be seen from the above, the outlet device 10b according to this application allows the second outlet module 200 to move closer to or further away from the first outlet module 100 by simply rotating the adjustment member 400, thereby adjusting the distance between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200, and making it easy to assemble the outlet device 10 onto panels 500 of different thickness specifications. Furthermore, the outlet device 10b can be assembled onto the panel 500 without using tools, and has relatively good flexibility and convenience for attachment and detachment.
[0071] In some embodiments, when assembling the outlet device 10 shown in this application onto the panel 500, first, the first outlet module 100 is placed on the top surface of the panel 500, the adjustment member 400 is rotated, the adjustment member 400 and the second outlet module 200 move toward the first outlet module 100, and when the second outlet module 200 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the panel 500, the second outlet module 200 is fixed to the panel 500 by the self-locking of the adjustment member 400 and the connecting member 300, and the outlet device 10 is then stably assembled onto the panel 500. In some other embodiments, first, the second outlet module 200 is placed on the bottom surface of the panel 500, the adjustment member 400 is rotated, the connecting member 300 and the first outlet module 100 move toward the second outlet module 200, and the first outlet module 100 comes into close contact with the top surface of the panel 500. The self-locking of the adjustment member 400 and the connecting member 300 secures the first outlet module 100 to the panel 500, and the outlet device 10b is then stably assembled to the panel 500.
[0072] In other embodiments, the connecting member 300 and the adjusting member 400 may be connected in a gear and rack configuration. For example, the connecting member 300 is connected to the first outlet module 100, the connecting member 300 is in a rack configuration, and the connecting member 300 is positioned extending in a first direction. The adjusting member 400 is rotatably connected to the second outlet module 200, the adjusting member 400 is in a gear configuration, the central axis of the adjusting member 400 may be perpendicular to the first direction, the adjusting member 400 is meshed and connected to the connecting member 300, or the central axis of the adjusting member 400 may be positioned in the first direction, the adjusting member 400 is driven to the connecting member 300 via an intermediate gear, and the adjusting member 400 has a portion protruding from the side of the second outlet module 200. In this way, when the user operates the portion of the adjusting member 400 that protrudes from the second outlet module 200, the adjusting member 400 can be rotated, which engages with the connecting member 300, causing the adjusting member 400 and the connecting member 300 to move relative to each other, thereby causing the second outlet module 200 and the first outlet module 100 to move relative to each other in a first direction, adjusting the dimensions of the clamping space S in a first direction, adjusting the distance between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200, and further enabling the outlet device 10 to be assembled to panels 500 of different thickness specifications.
[0073] Based on the same design philosophy, this application further provides an outlet device 10c, and Figure 34 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the outlet device 10c. The outlet device 10c, like the outlet device 10a described above, includes a first outlet module 100, a second outlet module 200, and a connecting member 300. Unless otherwise specified, the structure and function of these members in the outlet device 10c are substantially the same as those in the outlet device 10a, so you can refer to the descriptions corresponding to Figures 1 to 21, and in this application, a detailed description is omitted here.
[0074] Figures 35 to 40 show schematic assembly diagrams of each structure of the outlet device 10c. Unlike the outlet device 10a, the outlet device 10c does not have an adjustment member 400 installed. That is, the outlet device 10c does not have an adjustment member 400 installed to adjust the dimensions of the clamping space S in the first direction in combination with the connecting member 300.
[0075] As shown in Figures 34 to 40, the outlet device 10c includes a first outlet module 100, a connecting member 300, a second outlet module 200, and a locking mechanism 50. The first outlet module 100 is integrally connected to the second outlet module 200 via the connecting member 300, forming the main structure of the outlet device 10c. It is easily understood that both the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 are capable of providing power acquisition services to power-consuming devices by plugging them in.
[0076] In this embodiment, the connecting member 300 may be configured as a link rod (or simply a rod). One end of the connecting member 300 is fixedly installed on the first outlet module 100, and the second outlet module 200 is movably attached to the other end of the connecting member 300. The second outlet module 200 and the first outlet module 100 fit together to form a clamping space S.
[0077] The locking mechanism 50 is movably mounted on the bracket 13 of the second outlet module 200. The locking mechanism 50 has a locked state that locks the connecting member 300 and an unlocked state that releases the connecting member 300. In the locked state, the second outlet module 200 and the first outlet module 100 are locked to the locking mechanism 50 and remain stationary relative to each other. In the unlocked state, the second outlet module 200 and the first outlet module 100 can move relative to each other or apart to adjust the width of the clamping space S.
[0078] In outlet devices 10c where the locking mechanism 50 is in the unlocked state, the width of the clamping space S can be adjusted by manually adjusting the relative distance between the second outlet module 200 and the first outlet module 100. In some embodiments, the outlet device 10c may be configured to further include a drive mechanism 60, which is used to adjust the relative distance between the second outlet module 200 and the first outlet module 100 by engaging the drive mechanism 60 with the locking mechanism 50, thereby facilitating operation.
[0079] The drive mechanism 60 is movably mounted on the bracket 13 of the second outlet module 200 and is electrically connected to the connecting member 300. The drive mechanism 60 has a non-operating state and an operating state. In the non-operating state, the drive mechanism 60 is fitted in a gap with the connecting member 300. In the operating state, the drive mechanism 60 drives the connecting member 300 to move relative to the second outlet module 200, thereby moving the second outlet module 200 and the first outlet module 100 closer together, which is used to mount and fix the outlet device 10c.
[0080] The locking mechanism 50 and the drive mechanism 60 are located on either side of the connecting member 300, respectively (for example, from the viewpoint in Figure 40, the locking mechanism 50 and the drive mechanism 60 are located on the left and right sides of the connecting member 300, respectively). In this way, a sufficient safety distance is maintained between the locking mechanism 50 and the drive mechanism 60, and interference problems during their operation are avoided.
[0081] The outlet device 10c in this embodiment is an outlet product suitable for mounting to a panel 500. When in use, it is attached to the edge of the panel 500, making it convenient to use and not occupying desk space. Specifically, the outlet device 10c is constructed by assembling a first outlet module 100, a connecting member 300, and a second outlet module 200. The first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 fit together to form a clamping space S, which is used to clamp the edge of the panel 500 and enable the mounting of the outlet device 10c. During installation, the locking mechanism 50 is operated to unlock it, which releases the connecting member 300. At this time, the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 are operated to move closer to or further apart from each other, depending on the thickness of the edge of the panel 500, adjusting the width of the clamping space S to match the thickness of the edge of the desk surface. This allows the edge of the desk surface to be smoothly engaged within the clamping space S, completing the installation of the outlet device 10c in its predetermined position. Subsequently, the drive mechanism 60 is operated, which further drives the connecting member 300 to move to the second outlet module 200, moving the second outlet module 200 and the first outlet module 100 closer to each other. The first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 then clamp the edge of the desk surface more tightly, thereby securing the outlet device 10c in place. The installation method is simple and does not require the use of special tools.
[0082] If it is necessary to adjust the mounting position of the outlet device 10c on the desk surface, the locking mechanism 50 can be repeatedly operated to unlock and separate the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200, making the outlet device 10c movable. After adjusting to the new mounting position, the drive mechanism 60 can be operated again to clamp the edge of the desk surface with the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200. This makes it easy to adjust the mounting position, saving labor and enabling high efficiency, providing high adjustment flexibility and contributing to an improved user experience.
[0083] In many cases, when attaching the outlet device 10c to the edge of the desk surface, the distance between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 is increased, that is, the width of the clamping space S is made much larger than the thickness of the edge of the desk surface. Therefore, it may not be possible to bring the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 together completely and clamp and fix them to the edge of the desk surface by operating the drive mechanism 60 only once. In this case, the drive mechanism 60 may be operated multiple times in succession to gradually bring the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 together and finally clamp them to the edge of the desk surface.
[0084] The first outlet housing 12 is equipped with a guide pin 1201 and a connecting plate 1202, and the connecting plate 1202 is connected to the guide pin 1201. Specifically, in this embodiment, the guide pin 1201 is configured as a movable guide column connected to the connecting plate 1202. The second outlet housing 32 is provided with a housing chamber 3202 and a guide hole 3201, and at least a part of the first outlet housing 12 is installed in the housing chamber 3202 so as to be retractable and movable, and the guide pin 1201 is slidably inserted into the guide hole 3201. When the drive mechanism 60 is operated to move the connecting member 300 and the first outlet module 100 closer to the second outlet module 200, the guide pin 1201 slides within the guide hole 3201, exerting a guiding and limiting effect, and improving the stability of the relative movement between the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200.
[0085] In yet another embodiment, as shown in Figure 40, the second outlet module 200 further includes a bracket 13 and a second outlet housing 32, the bracket 13 being mounted on the second outlet housing 32. The mounting method may be at least one of screwing, engaging, or adhesive, and can be flexibly selected according to the actual needs.
[0086] Bracket 13 is installed primarily to support and mount the locking mechanism 50 and the drive mechanism 60.
[0087] The locking mechanism 50 includes a lock button 51, a lock transmission assembly 52, a first elastic member 53, and a lock body 54. The lock button 51 is movably mounted on the second outlet housing 32, the lock transmission assembly 52 is movably mounted on the bracket 13 and is transmitted to the lock button 51, the first elastic member 53 is mounted on the bracket 13, and the lock body 54 has a contact end 541 and a lock end 542 that are mounted opposite each other, the contact end 541 contacts the first elastic member 53, and the lock end 542 locks or unlocks with the connecting member 300.
[0088] In actual use, when the lock button 51 is not pressed, the first elastic member 53 applies an elastic biasing force to the lock body 54, causing the lock end 542 to lock the connecting member 300, and the lock mechanism 50 is in a locked state. At this time, the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 cannot or cannot move relative to each other.
[0089] In this application, there are two guide pins 1201 and two guide holes 3201, which are mounted in a one-to-one correspondence. A connecting plate 1202 is mounted between the two guide pins 1201 to improve the structural integrity and strength of the two guide pins 1201, and the bracket 13 is located between the two guide pins 1201.
[0090] When installing the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200, inserting the guide pin 1201 and the connecting plate 1202 into the housing chamber 3202 causes the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 to fit together externally, forming a U-shaped structure. As the outlet device 10c moves laterally and is inserted into the edge of the desk surface, the guide pin 1201 and the connecting plate 1202 come into contact with the side surface of the desk surface, thereby achieving a mounting positioning effect.
[0091] Furthermore, a shielding plate 90a is connected between the two guide pins 1201. The shielding plate 90a is used to shield the connecting member 300, preventing the connecting member 300 from being exposed and detracting from the aesthetics when the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 are separated, and further increasing the connection strength between the two guide pins 1201.
[0092] As shown in Figure 37, for example, when the outlet device 10c is in its stored state, the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 can be brought as close together as possible, making the overall structure of the outlet device 10c more compact, resulting in a smaller volume, less installation space occupied, and greater advantages for storage and transport. At this time, the locking mechanism 50 locks the connecting member 300, so that the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 do not loosen and disassemble, that is, a locked fit is achieved between the locking end 542 and the connecting member 300.
[0093] As shown in Figures 39 to 40, when the lock button 51 is pressed, the lock button 51 moves the lock transmission assembly 52, which synchronously presses the contact end 541 to rotate the lock body 54, the contact end 541 presses the first elastic member 53 to compress and store energy, and at the same time moves the lock end 542 to release contact with the connecting member 300, thereby unlocking and releasing the connecting member 300. In other words, the lock end 542 and the connecting member 300 are unlocked and engaged. At this time, the first outlet module 100 gains the freedom to expand and contract relative to the second outlet module 200, allowing the width of the clamping space S to be easily adjusted, thereby accommodating mounting on desk surfaces of different thicknesses and improving the applicability of the outlet device 10c.
[0094] Specifically, as shown in Figures 39-40, a locking hole 5421 is provided in the locking end 542, and the connecting member 300 is inserted into the locking hole 5421. When the locking mechanism 50 is in the locked state, the first elastic member 53 abuts against the contact end 541, tilting the locking body 54, and the wall of the locking hole 5421 presses against the connecting member 300, thereby locking the connecting member 300 with the locking body 54. When the locking button 51 is pressed to switch the locking mechanism 50 from the locked state to the unlocked state, the locking transmission assembly 52 rotates the contact end 541, pressing against the first elastic member 53, and the wall of the locking hole 5421 gap-fits with the connecting member 300, thereby releasing the connecting member 300 with the locking body 54. The principle of the locking and unlocking method in this embodiment is simple, highly reliable, allows for stepless locking, and greatly expands the types and ranges of desk surfaces suitable for clamp mounting.
[0095] The first elastic member 53 may, but is not limited to, a spring.
[0096] As shown in Figure 40, based on the above embodiment, a first mounting groove 131 is provided in the bracket 13, and the first elastic member 53 is mounted in the first mounting groove 131. The first mounting groove 131 is used to mount and position the first elastic member 53 and to ensure the stability and reliability of the expansion and contraction deformation of the first elastic member 53.
[0097] Alternatively, in an alternative embodiment, the bracket 13 is provided with a first mounting groove 131, the first mounting groove 131 is arranged coaxially with the connecting member 300, and the first elastic member 53 is mounted in the first mounting groove 131 and can be fitted into or separated from the connecting member. This embodiment is the same as the above embodiment except that the position of the first elastic member 53 is adjusted, but since it can achieve almost the same technical effects as the above embodiment, a detailed explanation is omitted here.
[0098] As further referenced in Figures 39 to 40, in one embodiment, the lock transmission assembly 52 includes a lock ejector block 521 and a lock push block 522. The lock ejector block 521 is slidably mounted on a bracket 13, with one end of the lock ejector block 521 being transmitted to a lock button 51. The lock push block 522 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 13, with one end of the lock push block 522 being transmitted to the other end of the lock ejector block 521, and the other end of the lock push block 522 being transmitted to a lock end 542. The driving force output from the lock button 51 can be efficiently transmitted by the lock body 54 via the lock ejector block 521 and the lock push block 522, improving unlocking efficiency, and also resulting in a smaller number of mating members, higher transmission reliability, and superior durability.
[0099] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 40, based on the above embodiment, the first limiting portion 133 is installed on the bracket 13, and the first limiting portion 133 is positioned on the side of the connecting member 300 facing the locking mechanism 50, and when the locking mechanism 50 is in the locked state, the first limiting portion 133 abuts against the lock push block 522. When the locking mechanism 50 is in the locked state, the first elastic member 53 applies an elastic force to the lock body 54, and the lock body 54 presses the lock push block 522 against the first limiting portion 133, and at this time, the first limiting portion 133 plays a role in limiting and supporting the lock push block 522.
[0100] In one embodiment, the drive mechanism 60 includes a drive button 61, a drive assembly 62, a second elastic member 63, and a drive body 64. The drive button 61 is movably mounted on the second outlet housing 32, the drive assembly 62 is movably mounted on the bracket 13 and is transmitted to the drive button 61, the second elastic member 63 is mounted on the bracket 13, and the drive body 64 has a transmission end 641 and a drive end 642 that are mounted opposite each other, with the transmission end 641 in contact with the second elastic member 63 and the drive end 642 in contact-fit or gap-fit with the connecting member 300.
[0101] Specifically, a fitting hole 6421 is provided in the drive end 642, and the connecting member 300 is inserted into the fitting hole 6421. When the drive mechanism 60 is in a non-operating state, the second elastic member 63 abuts against the transmission end 641 to maintain the drive body 64 in an avoidance position. At this time, the wall of the fitting hole 6421 is fitted with the connecting member 300 in a gap, preventing the drive end 642 from obstructing the movement of the connecting member 300.
[0102] When the drive button 61 is pressed to switch the drive mechanism 60 from a non-operating state to an operating state, the drive assembly 62 rotates the transmission end 641 to press the second elastic member 63. Simultaneously, the posture of the drive body 64 changes, the hole wall of the fitting hole 6421 presses against the connecting member 300, the drive end 642 moves the connecting member 300 relative to the second outlet module 200, and the drive end 642 abuts and fits with the connecting member 300, moving the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 closer together, thereby attaching and fixing the outlet device 10c to the edge of the desk surface.
[0103] In the non-operating state, the hole wall of the fitting hole 6421 is not in contact with the connecting member 300. On the one hand, after the locking mechanism 50 is unlocked, when the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 move closer together or further apart, the drive unit 64 does not obstruct the movement of the connecting member 300. On the other hand, it is not easy to accidentally trigger the drive mechanism 60 and cause unexpected movement of the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200.
[0104] After the outlet device 10c is attached to the edge of the desk surface, the drive button 61 is pressed, which moves the drive assembly 62. The drive assembly 62 then synchronously presses the transmission end 641, moving the drive body 64, that is, downward toward the second outlet module 200. Meanwhile, the hole wall of the fitting hole 6421 presses against the connecting member 300, forming a lock between the drive body 64 and the connecting member 300. Based on this, the drive body 64 moves downward, synchronously driving the connecting member 300 and the first outlet module 100, causing them to move downward synchronously, bringing the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 closer together and clamping them to the desk surface, improving the robustness of the outlet device 10c's mounting.
[0105] As further referenced in Figures 39 to 40, in one embodiment, the drive assembly 62 includes a drive ejector block 621 and a drive push block 622. The drive ejector block 621 is slidably mounted on a bracket 13, with one end of the drive ejector block 621 being transmitted to a drive button 61. The drive push block 622 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 13, with one end of the drive push block 622 being transmitted to the other end of the drive ejector block 621, and the other end of the drive push block 622 being transmitted-fitted to a transmission end 641. The driving force output from the drive button 61 can be efficiently transmitted by the drive unit 64 via the drive ejector block 621 and the drive push block 622, improving driving efficiency. Furthermore, the drive assembly 62 has fewer fitting members, resulting in high transmission reliability and excellent durability.
[0106] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 40, based on the above embodiment, a second limiting portion 134 is further installed on the bracket 13, and the second limiting portion 134 is positioned on the side of the connecting member 300 facing the drive mechanism 60, so that when the drive mechanism 60 is in a non-operating state, the drive push block 622 comes into contact with the second limiting portion 134.
[0107] When the drive mechanism is in a non-operating state, the second elastic member 63 applies an elastic biasing force to the drive body 64, which in turn presses the drive push block 622 against the second limiting portion 134. At this time, the second limiting portion 134 plays a role in restricting and supporting the drive push block, thereby ensuring structural stability.
[0108] The second elastic member 63 may, but is not limited to, a spring.
[0109] Based on the above embodiment, a second mounting groove 132 is further provided on the bracket 13, and the second elastic member 63 is mounted in the second mounting groove 132. The second mounting groove 132 is used to mount and position the second elastic member 63 and to ensure the stability and reliability of the expansion and contraction deformation of the second elastic member 63.
[0110] In easily understandable terms, by continuously pressing the drive button 61, the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 are stepped together to gradually move closer, and finally the first outlet module 100 and the second outlet module 200 are used to clamp and fix the edge of the desk surface, thereby completing the attachment of the outlet device 10c to the desk surface.
[0111] In simple terms, the PCB board 80 is further mounted inside the first outlet housing 12 and the second outlet housing 32, and the PCB board 80 is electrically connected to each power supply connection part 120, performing functions such as control and current distribution.
