Description

Multi-socket {Multi-socket}

The present invention relates to a multi-socket, and more particularly to a multi-socket which can be suitably used for a vehicle.

Automobiles have become so commonplace as to be a necessity of modern people. In particular, such automobiles have escaped from the initial purpose of transportation and transportation, and their functions have been extended to living spaces in motion. Accordingly, the interior of the automobile is provided with a variety of interior decoration, a razor, a mobile phone charger, a USB, and other electric / electronic products driven by the power of the automobile according to the needs of the driver.

Such products are connected to a so-called cigar-jack of an automobile and an operation power is supplied through a socket terminal to which the cigar-jack is connected. Usually, only one place is formed inside the automobile, It is impossible to use the optical disc. In recent years, there are many cases where a cigar-jack is formed in the car, but the cigar-jack and the product are still in a one-to-one correspondence. What is provided is a so-called automotive multi-socket.

1, the multi-socket 1 includes a plurality of terminal sockets 3a and 3b (not shown), and a plurality of terminal sockets 3a and 3b The power plugs 4a and 4b of the respective products are connected to the respective sockets 3a and 3b and 3c so as to be connected to the respective connected products through the power connector 5 Vehicle power is distributed and supplied.

In practice, this multi-socket 1 is advantageous in that it enables simultaneous use of various electric and electronic products for automobiles. However, since the outer shape is extended horizontally in proportion to the number of the sockets 3a, 3b, 3c, the space is very unfavorable in a narrow indoor space, so that collision with the user's body or other articles easily occurs, It can be damaged.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the problems of the conventional multi-socket. The object of the present invention is to provide a multi socket which is very compact in a small scale and which can design a plurality of sockets in a rational arrangement to fully realize the benefits of spatial usability in a narrow interior space of an automobile.

The multi socket of this design is:

A multi-socket including a main body having a plurality of sockets formed thereon, and a power connector connected to the main body to supply power to the sockets,

Said body comprising:

A case having an open window formed in a longitudinal direction on an upper surface thereof;

A fixed socket formed in the case in which one side is opened corresponding to the open window;

A variable socket which is inserted into the fixed socket and has an inner one end hinged to the inside of the case and an outer one opened or closed as the other end is axially rotated through the open window;

/ RTI >

When the fixed socket is opened by the upward rotation of the variable socket through the open window, both the fixed socket and the variable socket become available;

.

The plurality of fixed sockets may be formed in parallel, or may be formed symmetrically on the body, depending on the embodiment.

Preferably, the variable socket includes a stopper which is caught by an edge of the open window when rotated and limits the range of rotation to within 70 degrees.

Also, the plurality of fixed sockets are simultaneously powered using a common power terminal opened in a '3' shape in cross section, and the plurality of variable sockets are designed to be individually powered.

According to the inventive multi-socket, there are two sockets stacked in one socket space, namely a fixed socket and a variable socket. Of course, the variable socket opens the fixed socket by rotation so that the user can use two sockets at the same time. Accordingly, it is possible to implement a plurality of use sockets on a very compact scale, and there is a remarkable effect that the spatial usability is sufficiently realized in a narrow indoor space such as an automobile.

The features and operative effects of the present inventive multi-socket socket described or not described above will become more apparent from the following description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. 2, the 'multi socket' according to the embodiment of the present invention is designated by the reference numeral 10.

2 to 6, the multi socket 10 of the present invention includes a main body 20 having a plurality of sockets, a power connector 11 connected to the main body 20 and supplying power to the socket, Characterized in that the body (20) comprises a socket set (22) in which two sockets, i.e. fixed and variable sockets (23, 24) are arranged in a superimposed arrangement in the case (21) ).

Specifically, the case 21 has an opening window 25 formed on the upper surface thereof in the longitudinal direction. This opening window 25 is intended to provide a space for enabling the axis-rotation of the variable socket 24, which will be described later, which is different from the plug door in front of the case 21, of course.

As described above, the socket set 22 is composed of two sockets formed in an overlapping arrangement, one of which is a fixed socket 23 and the other is a so-called variable socket 24. First, the fixed socket 23 is formed in a non-dynamical manner inside the case 21 in a form of one side opened, corresponding to the open window 25 of the case 21, that is, a substantially semicircular cross section.

And the variable socket (24) is rotatably arranged in the fixed socket (23). Specifically, the variable socket 24 is fitted in the fixed socket 23, one end of the inner side is hinged to the inside of the case 21, and the other end of the variable socket 24 is axially rotated through the opening window 25, And the fixed socket 23 is opened or closed.

For example, if the user wishes to use only the fixed socket 23, the variable socket 24 and the fixed socket 23 are overlapped, that is, the variable socket 24 is disposed inside the fixed socket 23, (P1) may be inserted into the variable socket (24). Alternatively, if the user wishes to use both the variable socket 24 and the fixed socket 23 at the same time, the variable socket 24 is rotated upward through the open window 25 to open the fixed socket 23 Then, both the variable socket 24 and the fixed socket 23 in the open state can be used.

In the present invention, the variable socket 24 is rotatable about its axis, but when it is rotated excessively, the hinge structure 27 may be damaged and further the entire multi-socket 10 may become unusable. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the rotation range of the variable socket 24 is limited. The variable socket 24 includes a stuffer 26 for restricting the rotation of the variable socket 24 by being caught by the edge of the opening window 25 of the case 21 during rotation, ) Within 70 deg., Preferably within 60 deg.. In fact, when the rotation range is 70 ° or more, an unreasonable impact is applied to the variable socket 24 and its hinge structure due to the pressure during rotation, and it was found that the shock absorber is inconvenient for the user.

The sockets 23 and 24 do not specify whether they are cylindrical or pin type, and the plugs P1 and P2 connected thereto are not limited in form.

In this embodiment, the fixed socket 23 is composed of a plurality of sockets, which means that a plurality of socket sets 22 including the fixed socket 23 and the variable socket 24 are provided. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the plurality of socket sets 22 are formed on the main body 20 in parallel with each other.

Meanwhile, the plurality of fixed sockets 23 are simultaneously powered using a common power supply terminal 28 having a '3' -shape in cross section, wherein the plurality of variable sockets 24 are individually powered . This is considered to be the optimum design considering the simplicity of the power supply design of the fixed socket 23 and the individual mobility of the variable sockets 24. [ In the drawing, reference numeral 29 denotes a common ground terminal, and reference numeral 30 denotes a PCB substrate for power supply and control of the entire multi-socket 10.

Although the plurality of socket sets 22 are described as being parallel to each other in the main body 20, the plurality of socket sets 22 may be symmetrically formed on the main body 20 in other embodiments.

Referring to Fig. 7, in another embodiment, the plurality of socket sets 22 are formed symmetrically on the main body 20 in a left-right direction. In this case, the width is narrowed as compared with the above embodiment, but the length of the electric field will be longer, so it should be selected and mounted in consideration of a suitable position in the vehicle interior.

In the state where the plurality of fixed sockets 23 are symmetrically arranged as described above, although not shown, the plurality of fixed sockets 23 may be formed at the same time by using a central common power terminal opened in a 'C' And the plurality of variable sockets 24 are designed to be individually powered.

According to the multi-socket according to the present invention, two sockets, i.e., a fixed socket 23 and a variable socket 24, which are overlapped in one socket space are included, and the variable socket 24 is rotated by the fixed socket 23 so that the user can use the two sockets 23, 24 at the same time. As a result, it is possible to implement a plurality of use sockets on a very compact scale, and the spatial usability can be sufficiently realized in a narrow indoor space such as an automobile.
