Therefore, when the outlet hole 12 is further required, as shown in FIG. 6, the multi-tap unit 10a may be additionally combined, and when the outlet hole 12 remains, the power strip not used on the multi-tap main body 10 may be used. The unit 10a can be removed and used.

In addition, the coupling protrusion 15 and the coupling groove 16 play a role of electrically coupling the multi-tap unit 10a according to whether there is a connection, and the above-described multi-tap unit 10a is preferably formed of a non-conductive material. Therefore, the multi-tap main body 10 formed by the combination of the multi-tap unit 10a is also non-conductive.

The space 11 described above is formed below the multi-tap main body 10. The vertical section of the multi-tap main body 10 described above is formed in an arc shape by the space 11, and the space 11 is formed. A pair of outlet holes 12 are formed on the upper surface of each of the power strip units 10a.

On the other hand, both sides of the above-described outlet hole 12 is formed with a through hole 13 penetrating through the multi-tap body 10, the through hole 13 is installed so that the separating means 20 to be described later to be moved In the same manner as the above-described outlet hole 12, a pair of through holes 13 are formed in each of the multi-tap units 10a.

The power supply means 30 is provided at one side of the multi-tap unit 10a in which the above-described through hole 13 is formed, and the power supply means 30 is inserted into an external outlet so that the external power is generated using the multi-tap 1. It serves to enable the use, it is composed of a power input cord 31 and a power strip plug (32).

In addition, the outlet groove 16 is formed at the lower side of the above-described multi-tap main body 10, which is the power cord 41 of the plug 40 is inserted into the outlet hole 12 is drawn out It is to play a role.

On one side of the multi-tap main body 10 in which the above-described drawing groove 16 is formed, a switch 14 for controlling external power supplied to the multi-tap 1 is installed, and the switch 14 supplies external power. In order to operate the switch 14 in order to turn on (on) the lamp (not shown) provided therein is turned on, and in the case of operating the switch 14 in the off (off) to cut off the supply lamp ( (Not shown) is preferably turned off.

In addition, it is preferable to install a fuse (not shown) inside the multi-tap main body 10 so as to prevent an accident due to excessive supply of power.

In addition, the electrical configuration for supplying power to the plug 40 inserted into the outlet hole 12, such as the power connection terminal inside the power strip main body 10 described above, the power strip unit 10a and the coupling groove 16 and the like. Except that the coupling protrusions 15 are electrically coupled to each other by the coupling protrusion 15, the same description as that of the multi-tap according to the prior art will be omitted.

The separating means 20 is installed in the through-hole 13 formed in the above-described multi-tap body 10 so that the separating means 20 can push out the plug 40 inserted into the outlet hole 12. It is to separate.

The above-mentioned separating means 20 has a connecting shaft 21 movably fitted in the through hole 13 formed in the multi-tap main body 10 and a lower end of the connecting shafts 21 located in the space 11. A lower plate 22 having a through hole 22a formed at a side corresponding to the outlet hole 12, and an upper plate positioned at an upper side of the multi-tap body 10 to connect upper ends of the connecting shafts 21 ( 23 and an elastic spring 24 fitted on the connecting shaft 21 positioned between the lower plate 22 and the multi-tap body 10 to elastically bias the separating means 20 to the space portion 11. do.

In this case, the connecting shaft 21 is inserted into the through hole 13 so as to be movable so that the separating means 20 moves on the multi-tap main body 10 by being inserted into each of the through holes 13 on both sides.

In addition, the above-described lower plate 22 connects the lower end of the connecting shaft 21 to form a through hole 22a corresponding to the outlet hole 12, so that the plug 40 is first formed on the through hole 22a. It is inserted and then inserted into the outlet hole 12 while pushing up the separating means 20 upwards, in this state, the upper plate 23 of the separating means 20 rises upward from the multi-tap body 10 by a predetermined interval. .

In addition, the upper plate 23 is connected to the upper end of the connecting shaft 21, the upper surface of the display portion (23a) that the name of the electronic product that the plug 40 is inserted into the outlet hole 12 is described. Is provided.

Although the display unit 23a described above is not shown, the name of the electronic product may be formed so that the user can directly replace the fitting, and the name of the electronic product is the upper plate 23 itself of the multi-tap unit 10a. Can also be printed on

Since the upper plate 23 is raised by a predetermined interval as described above, the separating means 20 into which the above-described plug 40 is inserted can easily identify which electronic product is being used by the display unit 23a. The power strip unit 10a into which the plug 40 to be removed is inserted can be easily grasped.

Therefore, when there is a plug 40 to be disconnected, when a predetermined pressure is applied to the upper plate 23 on which the corresponding electronic product is displayed, the lower plate 22 is inserted into the outlet hole 12. The plug 40 is pushed downward to separate.

In addition, an elastic spring 24 is fitted on the connecting shaft 21 positioned between the lower plate 22 and the multi-tap main body 10. The elastic spring 24 has a space ( 11) serves to elastically bias the side, the separation means 20 by the elastic spring 24 is arranged in close contact on the multi-tap body 10 when the plug 40 is not inserted.

Hereinafter, the overall use method of the multi-tap (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, the user inserts the multi-tap plug 32 into an outlet (not shown) formed outside to receive external power, and then turns on the switch 14 to turn on the external power to the multi-tap body 10. To be supplied.

Then, the user inserts the plug 40 of the electronic product to be used in the outlet hole 12 into the outlet hole 12 of the power strip unit 10a in which the electronic product is displayed on the display unit 23a. The plug 40 is first inserted into the through hole 22a formed in the lower plate 22 of the separating means 20 and then inserted into the outlet hole 12 while pushing the separating means 20 upward. .

 In this state, the upper plate 23 of the separating means 20 rises upward from the multi-tap body 10 by a predetermined interval, thereby confirming the currently used electronic products through the display unit 23a, and at the same time, the outlet hole 12 The plug 40 inserted in the can be easily removed.

In addition, when the user wants to remove the plug 40 inserted into the outlet hole 12, the upper plate 23 of the separating means 20 is provided with a display portion 23a on which the electronic products are displayed. When the pressure is applied downward by applying a predetermined pressure, the plug 40 is separated from the outlet hole 12 by pushing the plug 40 inserted into the outlet hole 12 downward.

In addition, the commercial user can insert the power strip unit 10a further onto the power strip main body 10 when the outlet hole 12 is needed, and when the power outlet hole 12 is not used, the power strip main body 10 can be used. The size of the power strip 1 can be miniaturized by separating it from the top surface.

As described above, the multi-tap according to the present invention has an excellent effect of preventing a malfunction by preventing foreign substances such as dust and water from penetrating into the outlet hole by inserting the plug from the lower side to the upper side.

In addition, there is an advantage that the separation means is provided to easily remove the plug in the outlet hole.

In addition, since a multi-tap is formed by combining a plurality of multi-tap units, there is an advantage of increasing or decreasing the number of outlet holes as necessary.
