Electrical socket with latch protection door

Abstract

The invention provides an electrical socket with a latch protection door, which comprises a 20A upper cover and a bottom shell corresponding to the 20A upper cover, wherein a middle frame is arranged between the 20A upper cover and the bottom shell; the middle frame is provided with a mounting bracket; the back shell is provided with at least one pair of socket terminals; the 20A upper cover is provided with a first aperture and a second aperture corresponding to the socket terminals; a protection door is arranged between the middle frame and the 20A upper cover; the middle frame is provided with a latch fixing guide plate corresponding to the protection door; and a loose small protection door of the latch is arranged between the protection door and the latch fixing guide plate. The electrical socket can prevent a foreign matter except a pin of an electric plug from being inserted, plays a role in protection and has simple structure and low manufacturing cost at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrical socket with a lock protection door. Background technique [0002] It is known in the art that the transmission of electric current to electrical appliances through a current distribution system is a beneficial service for equipment and operation within a home or commercial building. In such a distribution system, a traditional electrical socket includes a pair of jacks or sockets, the sockets are aligned with the socket connection, and the prongs of the electrical plug can be inserted into the pair of sockets directly to the socket connection in the socket, so as to achieve electrical purpose of the connection. Because most of these sockets are used in residential buildings and are located close to the ground, there is a potential shock hazard for children or young children, for example, who may insert small foreign objects into any of the sockets. Furthermore, when electrical contact occurs with a child's wet m...

Problems solved by technology

Slide-close plates provide better protection, but add an extra layer of material between the plug pins and socket connection, which reduces the contact surface between the pins and connection, leading to potential heating or dangerous arcing

Another disadvantage of manually removable panels is that children can learn to expose electrical outlets by observing

U.S. Patent No. 7,355,117 mentions a protective electrical socket with an internal self-resetting slider, but the slider in this protective electrical socket is relatively expensive due to structural limitations, and the manufacturing cost is relatively high
