This is a U.S. patent application which claims the priority and benefit of Chinese Patent Application Number 202321834022.9, filed on Jul. 13, 2023, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of distributors, and in particular to a multi-functional distributor.
With the development of modern society, a variety of electrical facilities have been widely used in home, office and other private and public places. Therefore, there is also a growing demand for adapter products or devices that can support normal operation of various electrical facilities.
At present, most adapter products and devices are single in function. For example, on the existing adapter products, generally, only socket apertures on the extension socket are capable of transferring power supply, and power cords cannot provide output ports to transfer electrical equipment. Moreover, existing extension sockets generally have long power cords, in a case that multiple appliances share one extension socket, only the use of some electrical appliances can be met, and electrical equipment with a shorter power cord cannot be connected. For example, as for desktop electrical equipment and electrical equipment under desk, when the extension socket is placed on the desktop, it is easier to connect the desktop electrical equipment to the extension socket, but the electrical equipment under desk cannot share the extension socket due to the fact that the power cord is not long enough.
In order to overcome the disadvantages and defects in the prior art, the present disclosure aims to provide a multi-functional distributor.
The objective of the present disclosure is realized through the following technical solutions: a multi-functional distributor includes an extension socket and a power cord, the power cord being provided with at least one socket structure, where the socket structure includes a terminal tab holder, the terminal tab holder is provided with two terminal mounting holes, a positive terminal tab is inserted into one of the terminal mounting holes, a negative terminal tab is inserted into an other of the terminal mounting holes, a bottom of the positive terminal tab is horizontally bent from a bottom of the terminal tab holder into a positive welding end, and a bottom of the negative terminal tab is horizontally bent from the bottom of the terminal tab holder into a negative welding end.
As an improvement to the multi-functional distributor of the present disclosure, ends of the positive welding end and the negative welding end are bent into U-shaped bayonets, the U-shaped bayonet of the positive welding end catches a positive lead of the power cord, and the U-shaped bayonet of the negative welding end catches a negative lead of the power cord. The U-shaped bayonets are capable of clamping the positive and negative leads, and after clamping, the leads can be wrapped and clamped by bending without the need to use welding to connect.
As an improvement to the multi-functional distributor of the present disclosure, the socket structure further includes an injection molded housing, the injection molded housing enclosing the terminal tab holder. When positive and negative terminals on the terminal tab holder are connected to the leads well, the power cord is injection molded into a whole together with the terminal tab holder and the injection molded housing.
As an improvement to the multi-functional distributor of the present disclosure, one end of the power cord is provided with a plug and an other end is connected to the extension socket.
As an improvement to the multi-functional distributor of the present disclosure, the extension socket comprises a housing, the housing is internally provided with a terminal mounting plate, a positive\negative terminal series connection plate and a ground terminal plate, the terminal mounting plate is provided with a positive\negative terminal mounting slot, vertical top ribs are provided on two inner side walls of the positive\negative terminal mounting slot, the positive\negative terminal series connection plate is provided with a plurality of positive\negative terminal groups at intervals, and the positive\negative terminal groups are threaded into corresponding to the positive\negative terminal mounting slot.
As an improvement to the multi-functional distributor of the present disclosure, the housing is also internally provided with a circuit board, the circuit board is provided with a DC output port, the DC output port is a USB connector or a TYPE-C output connector, and the power cord is connected to the circuit board, the positive\negative terminal series connection plate and the ground terminal plate.
As an improvement to the multi-functional distributor of the present disclosure, the housing comprises a bottom shell and a face cover, a stud is provided on an inner side surface of the face cover, the bottom shell is provided with a screw hole, the bottom shell and the face cover are fixedly connected with screws, and the face cover is capable of pressing and fixing the positive\negative terminal series connection plate and the ground terminal plate.
The beneficial effects of the present disclosure are as follows: the present disclosure varies between desktop power supply and power supply under desk, for desktop power supply, power is supplied through an embedded extension socket, and for the power supply under desk, power is supplied through an on-line output port, so that safety hazards caused by wiring and pulling wires can be avoided, and at the same time, there is no need of more than one extension sockets, i.e., electrical transfer of multiple electrical appliances can be realized with only one extension socket; and the present disclosure uses the on-line output port which is convenient to connect, and with the welding-free connection, the connection is more solid.
