Referring to fig. 1, fig. 2, fig. 3, fig. 4, fig. 5 and fig. 6, the power socket apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is, for example, an extended line power socket apparatus. Of course, in other preferred embodiments, the power socket device 100 may also be a power socket device configured on a wall surface, and the invention is not limited thereto.

The power socket device 100 of the present embodiment mainly includes an outer layer 110, a light source indicator 120 and a socket module 130. The socket module 130 has a receiving space 131, and the light source indicator 120 can be disposed in the receiving space 131. In addition, the outer layer member 110 of the present embodiment is disposed on the light source indicator 120. In other words, in the present embodiment, the light source indicator 120 is disposed between the outer layer 110 and the socket module 130.

In addition, the outer layer 110 of the present embodiment has a first portion 111 and at least a second portion 112, and the first portion 111 is at the periphery of the second portion 112. In other words, the first portion 111 surrounds the second portion 112. In the embodiment, a plurality of second portions 112 are taken as an example for description, and the second portion 112 is, for example, an Outlet Unit (Outlet Unit) area. The socket unit region is a region into which a plug of an electric device can be inserted. In addition, the first portion 111 is, for example, a decoration region. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the first portion 111 and the second portion 112 are opaque portions.

In detail, the first portion 111 and the second portion 112 can be made of opaque material, for example. Thus, the first portion 111 and the second portion 112 may be integrally formed. Of course, in a preferred embodiment, the outer layer 110 may include an outer surface S1 and an inner surface S2. The outer surface S1 may be formed with an opaque material, such as by attaching or other suitable means, and the first portion 111 and the second portion 112 include the opaque material. Similarly, in another preferred embodiment, the opaque material can also be formed on the inner surface S2 of the outer layer 110, and the first portion 111 and the second portion 112 can also include the opaque material formed on the inner surface S2. That is, in the present embodiment, the first portion 111 and the second portion 112 may be located on at least one of the outer surface S1 and the inner surface S2.

In the present embodiment, each of the second portions 112 is provided with at least one first through hole H1. The second portion 112 of the present embodiment is mainly illustrated by three first through holes H1. Each of the first through holes H1 is for each electrical pin or connection terminal of the plug to be inserted. In addition, the light source indicator 120 of the present embodiment has at least one light emitting unit group 121. Each of the light emitting element groups 121 corresponds to a second portion 112. In addition, each light emitting cell group 121 has at least one light emitting cell 121 a. The light emitting unit group 121 of the present embodiment mainly uses three light emitting units 121a as an example for description. The light emitting unit 121a is, for example, a light emitting diode.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, each light emitting unit 121a is correspondingly disposed on the inner periphery of each first through hole H1 of the second portion 112. In other words, in the present embodiment, each of the light emitting units 121a may be exposed from the corresponding first through hole H1. In detail, in the present embodiment, the first through hole H1 is a socket (hanging-hole), so the first through hole H1 has a hole wall H11, and each light emitting unit 121a is disposed at the hole wall H11 of the first through hole H1. Therefore, each of the first through holes H1 exposes the corresponding light emitting unit 121 a.

Further, the light source indicator 120 of the present embodiment includes, for example, a plate 122 and a plurality of second through holes H2. The light emitting unit set 121 is disposed on the board 122, and the second through holes H2 are disposed on the board 122 corresponding to the first through holes H1. In brief, in the present embodiment, the projection area of each second through hole H2 on the outer layer 110 at least partially overlaps the corresponding first through hole H1. In addition, in the present embodiment, each light emitting unit 121a surrounds the corresponding second through hole H2. In detail, the light emitting unit 121a of the present embodiment is, for example, an annular light emitting structure, and the structural shape of the light emitting unit 121a is, for example, the same as the structural shape of the first through hole H1. Therefore, the light emitting unit 121a of the present embodiment may protrude from the plate body 122 into the first through hole H1, and may be suitably disposed at the hole wall H11 of the first through hole H1.

In this way, when a user wants to use any electronic device in a dark room or a place with limited visibility, the power socket device 100 according to the present embodiment arranges the light emitting unit 121a at the inner edge of the first through hole H1 of the second portion 112, so that the light emitting unit 121a of the present embodiment can directly emit light from the arranged place without being blocked by any object or shielding object. In other words, the light emitted from the light emitting unit 121a of the present embodiment is directly incident into the external environment from the configuration location without any light refraction, light reflection or light guiding effect, so as to provide better identification effect for the first through hole (insertion hole) H1 or the second portion 112 (socket unit area). Therefore, in a dark room or a place with limited visibility, the power socket device 100 of the present embodiment can still effectively provide better identification for the user to determine the position of the socket or the position of the jack and insert the plug of the electronic device therein. The design of the light emitting unit 121a directly emitting light from the arrangement position to the external environment also prevents the uneven brightness caused by the direct and refraction of light. This phenomenon can cause visual discomfort to the user and also may not effectively locate the socket or the jack.

In a preferred embodiment, the outer layer 110 may further include at least one third portion 113. Each third portion 113 corresponds to a second portion 112, for example. Further, in the present embodiment, each third portion 113 surrounds a corresponding second portion 112. In other words, the third portion 113 is provided between the first portion 111 and each of the second portions 112. Therefore, the projection area of each third portion 113 on the light source indicator 120 surrounds the corresponding light emitting unit group 121. It is worth mentioning that in this example, the third portion 113 is a light-transmitting portion. Therefore, part of the light emitted by the light emitting unit 121a or other internal light sources can be transmitted out of the third portion 113, thereby improving the recognition effect of the second portion 112 (socket unit area).

Specifically, in a preferred embodiment, the top of the light emitting unit 121a is, for example, a slope structure S3. The inclined surface structure S3 is, for example, inclined from the outer edge to the inner edge of the light emitting unit 121 a. Therefore, when a user inserts the plug of the electronic device into the second portion 112, each electrical pin or connection terminal of the plug can be effectively guided into the first through hole H1, and then connected to the electrical connection (not shown) in the socket module 130 through the second through hole H2.

In summary, the light emitting unit is disposed at the inner edge of the insertion hole (first through hole) of the socket unit region (second portion). Therefore, the light emitting unit of the present embodiment can directly emit light from the configuration location and directly enter the external environment, so as to provide a better identification effect for the jack (the first through hole) or the socket unit region (the second portion). Therefore, the power socket device of the embodiment can effectively provide better identification so as to enable a user to determine the position of the socket or the position of the jack and insert the plug of the electronic device into the socket.

The above description is only an example of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
