Abstract:
1. A socket with power supply, comprising: a housing having a upper cover and a lower cover which are connected together to form a receiving space, and having at least a socket aperture, a first opening, and a second opening thereon; a transformer accommodated in the receiving space and connected with an alternate current source through a plug protruding out of the first opening; at least a socket accommodated in the receiving space, coupled with the alternate current source, able to protrude out of the socket aperture, and capable of outputting the alternate current; a rectifying circuit coupled with the transformer and capable of rectifying the alternate current to direct current; and an output power plug coupled with the rectifying circuit and protruding out of the second opening through a power cord to output the direct current to an electronic device; and a cord reel, which is accommodated in the receiving space, to draw the power cord into the receiving space; wherein the upper cover is further disposed with a third opening and a fourth opening, and the third opening is further disposed at its circumference with three equidistant locating rods, and the lower cover is further disposed with a rotating axle, which corresponds roughly to the center of the third opening, securing slots formed at both sides of the rotating axle, and, on one side of the rotating axle, at least a protruding rod, which is with a spring slot therearound; wherein the cord reel further comprises: a spiral spring disposed on the lower cover with its two ends secured onto the fixed slots on both sides of the rotating axle; two disc springs coupled with the positive and negative power sources of the power cord, respectively; a rotating disc which is accommodated in the receiving space having an empty hole to receive the spiral spring, three equidistant locating holes and three equidistant engage slots disposed on the empty hole's circumference for locating and securing the locating rods, and the interiors of the locating holes upwardly disposed with a protruding fixed plate, respectively; a fixed copper ring secured onto the upper cover and at its exterior, disposed with three equidistant protruding ears, which are further formed at their centers to have a circular hole, respectively, aligned with its corresponding locating rod; a copper ring secured onto the fixed copper ring and disposed with an external connection point and an internal connection point to contact with the disc springs, respectively, so as to conduct the current output from the transformer; a compression spring installed onto the protruding rod and positioned in the spring slot; and a rotating disc control key protruding out of the fourth opening and accommodating the compression spring with a protruding tip formed by extending from one side of the bottom of the rotating disc control key; wherein, when the rotating disc control key is pushed upward with the force exerted by the compression spring to engage the protruding tip of the rotating disc control key with the engage slot of the rotating disc, the power cord will not reel back automatically when being pulled out, and wherein, when the rotating disc control key is pressed down, the protruding tip of the rotating disc control key moves away from the engage slot of the rotating disc, the restoring force exerted by the spiral spring reels back the power cord automatically.
