Abstract

A wall socket having a connecting module includes a socket body and a connecting module. The socket body has a socket unit. The connecting module is mounted with the socket unit. The connecting module is electrically connected with the socket body and selectively protruded outside the socket body. Therefore, the invention has functions of wall socket, electricity-transmitting and electricity-connection, which is convenient for various applications with a better universal characteristic.

Claims (20)

1. A wall socket having a connecting module, comprising:

a socket body having a socket unit; and

a connecting module disposed on and electrically connected to the socket body, wherein the connecting module selectively protrudes from the socket body;

wherein a bearing board is pivotally connected to the socket body, the bearing board is turned downward to a slanted position or upward to be stacked on the front face of the socket body, an end portion of the bearing board is connected to sliding rails, the top portion of the socket body has sliding grooves, the sliding rails slidably engage the sliding grooves, the connecting module is disposed on the socket body and move forward and backward, an elastic unit is disposed between the connecting module and the socket body for abutting the connecting module to move forward, and when the bearing board is tacked on the front face of the socket body, the bearing board abuts the connecting body to move backward.

2. The wall socket having a connecting module according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting module is plugged to the socket body.

3. The wall socket having a connecting module according to claim 2 , wherein the socket body has a docking slot positioned at the top portion, the front side, the left side or the right side of the socket body, the connecting module has a first connector and a second connector, the first connector and the second connector are electrically connected, the connecting module is plugged to the docking slot, and the first connector protrudes from the socket body.

4. The wall socket having a connecting module according to claim 3 , wherein the socket body has an accommodating slot for removably accommodating a replaceable module, the replaceable module has a module body and a connector unit disposed on the module body, and the replaceable module and the socket body are electrically connected.

5. The wall socket having a connecting module according to claim 4 , wherein the module body has an electronic apparatus.

6. The wall socket having a connecting module according to claim 4 , wherein the edge of the replaceable module has a connecting seat corresponding to the docking slot, and the second connector of the connecting module is plugged to the connecting seat.

7. The wall socket having a connecting module according to claim 4 , wherein the socket body has an adapter therein, and the connecting module is electrically connected to the replaceable module through the adapter.

8. The wall socket having a connecting module according to claim 1 , wherein the socket body has an accommodating slot, the accommodating slot removably accommodates a replaceable module, the replaceable module has a module body and a connector unit disposed on the module body, and the replaceable module and the socket body are electrically connected.

9. The wall socket having a connecting module according to claim 1 , wherein the top portion of the socket body is formed with a bearing portion.

10. The wall socket having a connecting module according to claim 1 , wherein a bearing board is pivotally connected to the socket body, the bearing board can be turned downward to a horizontal or slanted position, or be turned upward to be stacked on the front face of the socket body.

11. A wall switch having a connecting module, comprising:

a switch body having a switch unit; and

a connecting module disposed on and electrically connected to the switch body, wherein the connecting module selectively protrudes from the switch body;

wherein a bearing board is pivotally connected to the wall body, the bearing board is turned downward to a slanted position or upward to be stacked on the front face of the wall body, an end portion of the bearing board is connected to sliding rails, the top portion of the wall body has sliding grooves, the sliding rails slidably engage the sliding grooves, the connecting module is disposed on the wall body and move forward and backward, an elastic unit is disposed between the connecting module and the wall body for abutting the connecting module to move forward, and when the bearing board is tacked on the front face of the wall body, the bearing board abuts the connecting body to move backward.

12. The wall switch having a connecting module according to claim 11 , wherein the socket switch has an accommodating slot for removably accommodating a replaceable module, the replaceable module has a module body and a connector unit disposed on the module body, and the replaceable module and the socket body are electrically connected.

13. The wall switch having a connecting module according to claim 11 , wherein the top portion of the switch body is formed with a bearing portion.

14. The wall switch having a connecting module according to claim 11 , wherein a bearing board is pivotally connected to the switch body, the bearing board can be turned downward to a horizontal or slanted position, or be turned upward to be stacked on the front face of the switch body.
