In this power strip, the wiring assembly 3 is provided with an extension body 34. The extension body 34 conducts the conductive sheet 21 and the terminal body 33, and the extension body 34 is plugged into the conductive sheet 21, eliminating the need for jumpers or wires, and reducing assembly processes , It is convenient to assemble, save time and effort, so as to effectively reduce the cost of power strip.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the components of the power strip can be arranged in a variety of ways. The following uses specific embodiments as an example to introduce the structure of each component in detail.

A plurality of sets of through holes 11 (shown in FIG. 1) are provided on the front of the power strip housing 1, and the plug pins pass through the through holes 11 and insert the plug sleeve 22.

The lower end of the wiring housing 31 is fixed to the power strip housing 1, and the power strip using the wiring assembly 3 is a wireless power strip (there is no drag line on the power strip). As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the wiring housing 31 generally includes three independent cavities, namely a neutral cavity 313 corresponding to the neutral conductive sheet 213, a live cavity 312 corresponding to the live conductive sheet 212, and The ground wire cavity 311 corresponds to the ground wire conductive sheet 211. Each cavity is provided with a terminal position, each terminal position is respectively provided with a connection terminal 32, each connection terminal 32 is respectively provided with an extension body 34, and a total of three independent extensions are provided on the outside of the connection housing 31体34.

The terminal body 33 and the extension body 34 are an integral sheet structure. The terminal body 33 is arranged on the wiring housing 31 parallel to the front of the power strip housing 1. The first end of each extension body 34 is bent toward the front of the socket housing 1, the bent part constitutes a socket, and the socket forms a second socket 33. The second end of each extension body 34 is connected to the terminal body 33, and the second end of each extension body 34 is bent to increase the strength of the extension body 34. Of course, the second end of each extension 34 may not be bent. Each extension 34 may be located in the middle of the wiring housing 31, leaving a distance from the upper end (close to the front of the power strip housing 1) and the lower end of the wiring housing 31.

Providing the extension 34 in the above manner facilitates the connection of the extension 34 with the conductive sheet 21 and facilitates assembly; the strength of the extension 34 can be improved, and the possibility of the extension 34 being deformed by force can be reduced. Of course, the first end of the extension body 34 can also be bent toward the back of the plug housing 1 to form a plug ear or the like.

As shown in FIG. 6, the conductive sheet 21 generally includes a live wire conductive sheet 212, a neutral wire conductive sheet 213, and a ground wire conductive sheet 211. The ground wire conductive sheet 211 is located in the middle and is perpendicular to the front surface of the power strip housing 1. The wire conductive sheets 213 are located on both sides, parallel to the front surface of the power strip housing 1, and each conductive sheet 21 is provided with a plug sheet forming the plug sleeve 22 correspondingly.

The first end of each conductive sheet 21 is provided with a socket penetrating both sides of the conductive sheet 21, and a distance is left between the socket and the edge of the conductive sheet 21, and the first plug-in portion 23 is formed by the socket. Generally, the conductive sheets 21 are arranged closer to the back of the power strip housing 1 to reserve space for the socket 22. When the extension 34 is arranged in the middle of the wiring housing 31, the first end of each conductive sheet 21 is provided with a bending portion 24 that is bent and extends to the extension 34, and a hole is opened on the bending portion 24 to form a jack. At the same time, the bent portion 24 may also have a certain deformability. When the plug is inserted into or pulled out of the socket 22, the bent portion 24 may undergo a certain deformation along with the conductive sheet 21.

The orientations of the jacks are the same, and they can all face the front of the plug housing 1, and the ears of the extension bodies 34 are inserted into the jack from the back of the jack (toward the back of the plug housing). At this time, an included angle is set between the extension bodies 34, so that the lugs are arranged in an arc shape, that is, the connection terminals 32 are arranged in an arc shape. In the process of installing the socket assembly 2 in the power strip housing 1, all the sockets can be inserted and hung in the corresponding sockets at the same time (the extension 34 provided in the firewire cavity 312 is inserted into the firewire conductive sheet 212 Jack, the extension 34 provided in the neutral cavity 313 is inserted into the jack of the neutral conductive sheet 213, and the extension 34 provided in the ground cavity 311 is inserted into the jack of the ground conductive sheet 211), The assembly is convenient and fast. After the ear is inserted into the jack, the ear can be welded to the conductive sheet 21 to improve the connection firmness and ensure good conductivity. After the ear is inserted into the jack, the bent portion 24 of the conductive sheet 21 abuts on the front side of the extension 34 (the side facing the front of the power strip housing 1), and the bent portion 24 of the conductive sheet 21 is supported by the extension 34 to raise the extension 34 Good contact with the conductive sheet 21.

In addition, the mounting method of each conductive sheet 21 is different, and the structure of the bending portion 24 is also different. For example, if the ground wire conductive sheet 211 is perpendicular to the back of the power strip housing 1, the bent portion 24 of the ground wire conductive sheet 211 is perpendicular to the ground wire conductive sheet 211 and extends toward the side of the power plug housing 1, and the bent portion 24 is provided with a hole. Parallel to the front of the power strip housing 1. The live wire conductive sheet 212 and the neutral wire conductive sheet 213 are parallel to the front of the housing 1, then the bent portion 24 of the live wire conductive sheet 212 and the neutral conductive sheet 213 is first bent and extended toward the front of the power outlet housing 1, and then approximately 90 degrees Bending so that the portion where the insertion hole is provided on the bent portion 24 is parallel to the front of the power strip housing 1.

In other embodiments, the conductive sheet 21 may not be provided with the bent portion 24, but the extension body 34 may be provided close to the back of the power strip housing.
