Furthermore, the description of "first," "second," etc. in this disclosure is for descriptive purposes only and is not to be construed as indicating or implying a relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated.

In view of the technical drawbacks of the related art, the present embodiment provides a socket 200 and a plug-in device 100 that are used in cooperation with each other. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the technical solution of the present embodiment includes a socket 200 and a plurality of plug-in devices 100 with different functions. The socket 200 of the embodiment is provided with a dedicated jack for plugging in the electrical device 100, and each electrical device 100 is also provided with a dedicated jack for plugging in another electrical device 100, so that the electrical device 100 can be independently arranged on the socket 200 (as shown in fig. 6) or spliced on the socket 200 in a laminated manner (as shown in fig. 5), thereby realizing multiple functions or multiple power taking modes simultaneously.

As shown in particular in fig. 1 a-1 d, each of the plug-in devices 100 includes a housing 110 and an energizing assembly disposed within the housing 110. The housing 110 includes a first housing wall 111 and a second housing wall 112 disposed opposite to each other, and a third housing wall 115 connecting the first housing wall 111 and the second housing wall 112, and a space for accommodating the power-on components is defined between the first housing wall 111, the second housing wall 112, and the third housing wall 115.

The first shell wall 111 is provided with a first pin 113, and the first pin 113 is electrically connected with the energizing assembly. The second shell wall 112 is provided with a first jack 114, and the first jack 114 is used for electrically connecting a first pin 113 of another plug-in device 100 with the power-on component, so that a plurality of plug-in devices 100 can be spliced in a stacked manner (as shown in fig. 5). When the first pins 113 of the lowest plug-in device 100 among the stacked plug-in devices 100 are electrically connected to the socket 200 of the present embodiment, the remaining plug-in devices 100 can also be sequentially connected to the socket 200 through the power-on components, so that the functions of the respective plug-in devices 100 can be used simultaneously. It should be noted that, the plug-in device 100 of the present embodiment not only cooperates with the socket 200 of the present embodiment, but also can be directly plugged into other power-taking interfaces such as a wall plug or a socket plug for connection, so as to use an independent functional device.

Preferably, in order to facilitate storage and preservation of the plug-in device 100, as shown in fig. 2, the first pin 113 is rotatably connected to the first housing wall 111 in this embodiment. Specifically, the first housing wall 111 has a receiving groove 1111 formed therein, and the first pin 113 is received in the receiving groove 1111. Wherein, the first pin 113 is provided with a connection shaft, and the groove wall of the receiving groove 1111 is provided with a shaft hole matching with the connection shaft, so that the first pin 113 is rotatably connected with the first case wall 111. Of course, the first pin 113 may be provided with a shaft hole, and the groove wall of the receiving groove 1111 may be provided with a connection shaft matching the shaft hole, which is not particularly limited.

Since the first pins 113 are rotatably connected to the first housing wall 111, the first pins 113 are accommodated in the accommodation groove 1111 when the package tube is accommodated, so that the plug-in device 100 does not have a protruding structure, and the accommodation space can be saved, which is advantageous for accommodation and storage. When the plug-in device 100 is needed, the first pin 113 is turned out to connect with the socket 200 or other plug-in devices 100.

In some alternative examples, as shown in fig. 1a, the plug-in device 100 of the present example is used as a charging device. Specifically, a plug port electrically connected to the energizing assembly is further disposed in the housing 110, the plug port is used for connecting to a charging wire, and a connection through hole 1151 for exposing the plug port is formed in the third housing wall 115. The number of the plugging ports can be multiple according to actual needs, and correspondingly, a plurality of connecting through holes 1151 corresponding to the plugging ports are also formed in the third shell wall 115.

The plug-in port may be a USB socket, a Type-C socket, or other sockets with power connection, which is not particularly limited herein. When a plurality of plug ports are provided, the charging protocols of each plug port may be set to be different from each other, so that both quick charging and normal charging may be supported.

In another alternative example based on the above example, a rechargeable battery is further disposed within the housing 110 and electrically connected to the energizing assembly. When the plug-in device 100 of the present example is turned on with the power supply, the rechargeable battery starts to be charged. When the plug-in apparatus 100 of the present example is connected to a charging line of an electronic device after being pulled out or disconnected from a power source, power may be supplied to the electronic device, thereby enabling the plug-in apparatus 100 to be used as a charging baby.

In some alternative examples, as shown in fig. 1b, the plug-in device 100 of the present example may be used as a wireless charging cradle. Specifically, a wireless charging assembly electrically connected with the energizing assembly is further disposed in the housing 110, so that the wireless charging assembly can be used for wireless charging of electronic devices such as smart watches. At this time, the second case wall 112 is used to contact the electronic device while also supporting the electronic device.

As shown in fig. 7, when the electronic device a is in contact with the second housing wall 112, the wireless charging assembly and the charging circuit within the electronic device a are coupled to each other by electromagnetic induction, so that the electronic device a can be charged. In addition, a magnetic module for adsorbing the electronic device is further disposed in the housing 110 of the present example, so that the metal piece in the electronic device can be adsorbed, so that the electronic device is more closely attached to the second housing wall 112 of the plug-in device 100, and the electronic device is prevented from sliding down.

It should be noted that, the plug-in device 100 of the present example may also be used as a stand-alone wireless charging stand. When the peripheral does not have the socket 200 used with the power strip device 100, the power strip device 100 of this example may be directly plugged into another socket or a socket strip.

In some alternative examples, as shown in fig. 1c, the plug-in device 100 of the present example may be used as a lighting device. Specifically, an illumination assembly electrically connected to the energizing assembly is further disposed in the housing 110, and the illumination assembly includes a light emitting element such as an LED lamp. The third shell wall 115 is provided with a light-transmitting window 1153, and the light-transmitting window 1153 can be provided with optical devices such as a condensing lens or a light-softening sheet according to actual needs. The plug-in device 100 of the present example may also be used as a stand-alone lighting device. When the socket 200 used with the plug-in device 100 is not provided on the periphery, the plug-in device 100 of this example may be directly plugged into a wall plug or a row plug, so as to be used as a night light or a lighting lamp.

In some alternative examples, as shown in fig. 1d, the plug-in device 100 of the present example may be used as a speaker. Specifically, a speaker assembly electrically connected to the power-on assembly and a bluetooth assembly connected to the speaker assembly are further disposed in the housing 110, and the third housing wall 115 is provided with a sound transmission hole 1152. When the speaker assembly is connected to a device for a cellular phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or the like through the bluetooth assembly, the plug-in apparatus 100 of the present example is used as a speaker for an electronic device. Of course, the plug-in device 100 of the present example may also be used as a stand-alone speaker. When the peripheral has no socket 200 used in cooperation with the plug-in device 100, the plug-in device 100 of this example may be directly plugged into a wall plug or a socket plug, so as to expand the use scenario of the plug-in device 100.

Of course, different functional components may be adaptively set in the plug-in device 100, so as to meet the requirements of users in different scenes. In the above alternative examples, several types of plug-in devices 100 have been described for different scenarios or requirements, and these plug-in devices 100 differ in the specific type of functional components within the housing 110, so the construction of other types of plug-in devices 100 is not illustrated herein.

Compared with the related art, the socket 200 and the plug-in device 100 of the present embodiment can implement different collocations according to actual needs, so as to provide multiple power taking modes and functions for users, thereby improving the use experience of users. In addition, the plug-in device 100 of the present embodiment may also be used independently, so as to improve the versatility of the plug-in device 100.

With continued reference to fig. 3, the socket 200 of the present embodiment includes a second insertion hole 231 into which the first pin 113 of the power socket 100 is inserted and a third insertion hole 211 into which the external pin is inserted. As shown in fig. 5, after the first pins 113 of the electrical device 100 are plugged into the second plug holes 231 of the socket 200, the first pins 113 of another electrical device 100 are plugged into the first plug holes 114 of the electrical device 100, so that multiple types of electrical devices 100 can be spliced to the socket 200 in a stacked manner. Of course, the plugging device 100 can be plugged not only into the second plug hole 231 but also into the third plug hole 211 according to the purpose of use of the user, thereby performing the stack-up splicing in two directions.

Illustratively, the socket 200 includes fourth and fifth oppositely disposed housing walls 210, 220, and a sixth housing wall 230 connecting the fourth and fifth housing walls 210, 220. The sixth wall 230 is provided with a second jack 231 into which the first pin 113 of the power plug device 100 is inserted, the fourth wall 210 is provided with a third jack 211 into which the external pin is inserted, and the fifth wall 220 is provided with a second pin 221 connected with other external jacks and used for taking power.

Alternatively, the socket 200 may be configured as a travel conversion socket 200 with multi-national standard pins. As shown in fig. 3, pins of various specifications (such as euro-standard, english-standard, american-standard, etc.) are disposed in the socket 200, and a chute corresponding to the pins is formed in one of the sixth walls 230. Each pin is connected with a pushing handle 222 for pushing out the pin, and the pushing handle 222 is exposed outwards through the sliding groove. When the user pushes the push handle 222 to move relative to the socket 200, the corresponding pins extend out of the main body, so that the pins with proper specifications can be selected. By the arrangement, a user can meet the use requirements of various devices with different functions during travel by only carrying the travel conversion socket 200 and the plug-in device 100 with different functions when traveling.

Preferably, in order to ensure the flatness of the appearance of the socket 200 after being connected to the plug-in device 100, the sixth housing wall 230 provided with the second insertion hole 231 has the same shape and size as the orthographic projection formed on the sixth housing wall 230 when the plug-in device 100 is matched with the socket 200, so that the socket 200 is substantially flush with the third housing wall 115 after being connected to the plug-in device 100, and the whole socket 200 and the plug-in device 100 are cuboid or cubic in visual sense, thereby ensuring the compact and flat appearance of the socket 200.

It should be noted that, in a normal case, the second insertion hole 231 is formed on the sixth housing wall 230 facing away from the ground, so as to prevent the plurality of stacked and spliced plugging devices 100 from being separated from the socket 200 under the influence of gravity. However, when the number of the connected plug-in devices 100 is small, as shown in fig. 8, the second insertion holes 231 may be opened in the sixth housing wall 230 intersecting or facing the ground.

The above description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model should not be taken as limiting the scope of the utility model, but rather should be understood to cover all modifications, variations and adaptations of the present utility model using its general principles and the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings, or the direct/indirect application of the present utility model to other relevant arts and technologies.
