Socket assembly

The present invention relates to a socket assembly, and more particularly to a socket assembly having a wire retaining seat.

In everyday life, electrical products that need to be powered by electricity are everywhere. Generally, electrical appliances are obtained by electrically connecting the electrical outlets to the electrical sockets on the wall by wires and electrical plugs.

However, whether in the home or in public places such as schools and workplaces, when the number of electrical products to be used is greater than the number of outlets, it is necessary to face the problem that multiple electrical products share the same outlet. That is to say, it is necessary to temporarily remove the electrical plug of the non-used electrical product from the electrical socket to free up the socket for the electrical product to be used. However, if the electrical products removed from the electrical outlet are still in use for a short period of time, the user usually does not store the electrical products temporarily removed from the electrical outlet, and the electrical plugs and wires are electrically connected. Temporarily scattered near the socket for reuse. However, in addition to the problem that the sockets and wires scattered around the socket cause a clean environment, it is more likely that the wires are entangled with each other or even knotted, resulting in inconvenience in re-use. Furthermore, electrical plugs and wires scattered on the ground are more likely to cause pedestrians who are stumbling or being trampled by pedestrians.

In addition, when the number of electrical products to be used is less than or equal to the number of outlets In order to reduce the power consumption of non-use electrical products, the electrical plug is temporarily removed from the electrical socket and temporarily scattered near the socket for reuse, and the above-mentioned wires may be entangled and scattered. The electrical plugs on the ground and the pedestrians who have fallen over the wires and the pedestrians are trampled.

In view of the above problems caused by the electrical plugs and wires causing the wires to be entangled, the electrical plugs scattered on the ground, the pedestrians who have fallen over the wires, and the pedestrians being trampled, it is necessary to develop a new type of socket capable of accommodating plugs and wires. Component.

The utility model provides a socket assembly for solving the problem that the electric plug and the electric wire caused by the electric wire and the electric wire are entangled and knotted, the electric plug which is scattered on the ground and the pedestrian who has fallen over the electric wire and the pedestrian being trampled.
