Extension apparatus for power outlet
View Patent ↗An extension apparatus of a power outlet includes a main body and a socket. The main body includes a plug portion and an extension plug portion. The plug portion defines three through holes. The extension plug portion defines three blind holes. Three first metal pieces are mounted in the through holes. Three second metal pieces are mounted in the blind holes and coupled to the first metal pieces. The socket is plugged into the extension plug portion to be coupled to the plug portion. When a first plug is plugged into the plug portion, electrical power is fed to a second plug.
1. An extension apparatus of a power outlet, comprising:
a main body, comprising:
a plug portion defining a live through hole and a neutral through hole, wherein two first metal pieces are arranged in the live through hole and the neutral through hole, respectively; and
an extension plug portion defining a live blind hole and a neutral blind hole, wherein two second metal pieces are arranged in the live blind hole and the neutral blind hole, respectively, the first metal piece in the live through hole is coupled to the second metal piece in the live blind hole through a first conductive piece, and the first metal piece in the neutral through hole is coupled to the second metal piece in the neutral blind hole through a second conductive piece; and
a socket comprising a base, a first pin, and a second pin, wherein the first and second pins are mounted to the base, the base defines a first plug hole and a second plug hole, two third metal pieces are arranged in the first and second plug holes, respectively, and respectively connected to the first pin and the second pin, the first pin and the second pin are respectively engaged in the live blind hole and the neutral blind hole, to be respectively connected to the second metal pieces.
2. The extension apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plug portion further defines a ground hole, the extension plug portion further defines a ground blind hole, another first metal piece is arranged in the ground hole, another second metal piece is arranged in the ground blind hole, the another first metal piece is coupled to the another second metal piece through a third conductive piece.
3. The extension apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the base of the socket further defines a third plug hole, and another third piece is arranged in the third plug hole, a third pin is mounted to the base and coupled to the another third piece.
4. The extension apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the first to third pins are welded into the base.
5. A power supply apparatus, comprising:
a plug;
main body, comprising:
a plug portion defining a live through hole and a neutral through hole, wherein two first metal pieces are arranged in the live through hole and the neutral through hole, respectively; and
an extension plug portion defining a live blind hole and a neutral blind hole, wherein two second metal pieces are arranged in the live blind hole and the neutral blind hole, respectively, the first metal piece in the live through hole is coupled to the second metal piece in the live blind hole through the first conductive piece, and the first metal piece in the neutral through hole is coupled to the second metal piece in the neutral blind hole through a second conductive piece: and
a socket comprising a base, the first pin, and the second pin, wherein the first and second pins are mounted to the base, the base defines the first plug hole and the second plug hole, two third metal pieces are arranged in the first and second plug holes, respectively, and respectively connected to the first pin and the second pin, the first pin and the second pin are respectively engaged in the live blind hole and the neutral blind hole, to be respectively connected to the second metal pieces;
wherein the plug extends through the live through hole and the neutral through hole of the plug portion and acquires power, and the extension plug portion and the socket acquire power from the plug.
6. The power supply apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the plug portion further defines a ground hole, the extension plug portion further defines a ground blind hole, another first metal piece is arranged in the ground hole, another second metal piece is arranged in the ground blind hole, and the another first metal piece is coupled to the another second metal piece through a third conductive piece.
7. The power supply apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the base of the socket further defines a third plug hole, another third piece is arranged in the third plug hole, and the third pin is mounted to the base and coupled to the another third piece.
8. The power supply apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first to third pins are welded into the base.
