Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a socket, in particular to a safety socket that is resistant to electric shock and water splashing. Background Art

[0002] The popularity of household appliances has brought a lot of convenience to our lives. Various appliances need to be connected to the socket for power. However, the defects of traditional sockets make it dangerous to electrocute when metal parts come into contact with the socket. Nearly 10,000 socket-related safety accidents occur every year. This patented safety socket can automatically identify whether the inserted object is an electrical plug. Metal parts with a width of ≥7.5mm cannot be inserted into the socket. Metal parts with a width of ≤5.0mm will not conduct electricity after being inserted into the socket. Only when the L and N poles are inserted into the socket at the same time will the power be turned on. Metal parts of any size can be inserted into either pole of the socket alone without electric shock.

[0003] In humid or damp places, such as bathrooms and kitchens, using traditional sockets can damage appliances and easily lead to electric shocks. This patented safety socket has an independent water reservoir and drain hole, as well as a safety door and a safety door fixing base. The conductive conditions are extremely strict and will not conduct electricity even if splashed or splashed with water. It is forbidden to use it when immersed in water.

[0004] The new national standard mandates a safety gate to prevent children from inserting metal objects into sockets, which could pose a risk of electric shock. Common safety gates on the market will slide open to expose the copper components inside the socket when a metal object is inserted from either the left or north pole. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a safety socket that is anti-electric shock and anti-splash, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] The safety door has a central axis in a horizontal direction, and the safety door is located inside the safety door fixing seat and is rotatably connected to the safety door fixing seat through the central axis. The safety door fixing seat is fixedly connected to the middle frame. The sheet metal assembly includes two sockets, two copper live wire connection ends and a neutral wire connection end. The two sockets are symmetrically arranged below the slot on the safety door, and the two sockets are respectively a first socket and a second socket. The two copper parts are respectively a first copper part and a second copper part. The first copper part and the second copper part are both in a "Z" shape and are correspondingly arranged on the outside of the two sockets. A conductive sheet for contacting the copper part for conducting electricity is also provided on the outer wall of the socket. A neutral wire connection end is also provided on the outside of the first socket, and a live wire connection end is also provided on the outside of the second socket. Corresponding rotating shafts are provided on both sides of the socket.

[0008] The top surface of the safety door fixing seat is provided with an oblique inserting plate, which is slidably connected to the safety door fixing seat. The safety door fixing seat is also provided with a baffle.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the present invention: a metal part and a plastic part are respectively provided on both sides of the rotating shaft, the metal part is located on the inner side of the rotating shaft, and the plastic part is located on the outer side of the rotating shaft.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: this safety socket adopts a special safety door limiting structure, which prevents the safety door from sliding open when metal foreign objects are inserted from one side. The safety door will only slide open when the two-level sockets are inserted simultaneously and with balanced force, making it safe to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate and simplify the description of the present invention. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0020] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] See also Figure 1-3, a safety socket that prevents electric shock and splashing, includes a face cover 1 and a back cover 6, a middle frame 5 is provided between the face cover 1 and the back cover 6, a sheet metal component 4 is provided on the inner side of the middle frame 5, the sheet metal component 4 is used to connect the live wire and the neutral wire of the power supply, and is connected to the plug of the electrical equipment to supply power, a slot is provided on the face cover 1, the slot is used to insert the power plug, a safety door 2 and a safety door fixing seat 3 are provided inside the face cover 1, the safety door 2 has a horizontal central axis, the safety door 2 is located inside the safety door fixing seat 3 and is rotatably connected to the safety door fixing seat 3 through the central axis, the safety door fixing seat 3 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 5, the sheet metal component 4 includes two jacks, two copper parts, a live wire connection end 11 and a neutral wire connection end 12, the two jacks are symmetrically arranged below the slot on the safety door 2, the two jacks are respectively a first jack 7 and a second jack 8, the two copper parts are respectively a first copper part 9 and a second copper part Part 10, the first copper part 9 and the second copper part 10 are both in a "Z" shape and are correspondingly arranged on the outside of the two sockets. A conductive sheet for contacting the copper piece to conduct electricity is also provided on the outer wall of the socket. A neutral wire connection terminal 12 is also provided on the outside of the first socket 7, and a live wire connection terminal 11 is also provided on the outside of the second socket 8. Specifically, corresponding rotating shafts 13 are provided on both sides of the socket. When the plug is inserted, the rotating shafts 13 on both sides of the socket will rotate under the extrusion action, and then squeeze the conductive sheet outward, thereby ensuring that the live wire connection terminal 11 and the neutral wire connection terminal 12 are in contact with the conductive sheet to form a connection loop. Through the setting of the safety door 2, when the plug cannot be inserted in the specified direction, the safety door 2 will deflect due to uneven force on both sides, thereby preventing the plug from continuing to move toward the sheet metal component 4, avoiding the connection of the single-sided line, thereby ensuring the safety of electricity use.

[0023] Specifically, the top surface of the safety door fixing seat 3 has an inclined insert plate 17, which is slidingly connected to the safety door fixing seat 3. When the plug is inserted, it will be squeezed inward to expose the jack, ensuring the connection of the circuit. When the plug is pulled out, it will automatically pop out to protect the inside of the device and improve the waterproof performance. Furthermore, a baffle 16 is also provided on the safety door fixing seat 3. When the plug is inserted at an angle, under the rotation of the safety door 2, the opening on the safety door 2 will be opposite to the baffle 16, and the baffle 16 will block the plug to prevent the plug from entering.

[0024] Example 2:

[0025] See Figure 6 On the basis of Example 1, a metal part 14 and a plastic part 15 are respectively provided on both sides of the rotating shaft 13. The metal part 14 is located on the inner side of the rotating shaft 13, and the plastic part 15 is located on the outer side of the rotating shaft 13. The inner metal part 14 can increase the wear resistance of the device, ensuring that the device can still be used intact after multiple plugging and unplugging. The outer plastic part 15 can play an insulating role to prevent the rotating shaft from being exposed to metal parts.

[0026] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included therein. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0027] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
