[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] This embodiment provides a waterproof socket. Figure 1-7, including a socket body 1 and an upper cover 2; the socket body 1 is provided with a socket 11, and the socket 11 is recessed toward the back side of the socket body 1, the socket body 1 is provided with a wire outlet 12 between the socket 11 and the outer edge, and the upper cover 2 is movably connected to the socket body 1 by flipping, the socket body 1 is provided with a first sealing structure at its peripheral edge, and the upper cover 2 is provided with a second sealing structure 21 matching the first sealing structure, when the cover is closed, the socket body 1 and the upper cover 2 form a closed cavity in the waterproof socket that can accommodate an external plug through the cooperation of the first sealing structure and the second sealing structure 21. After the plug is inserted into the socket 11, the upper cover 2 is closed, the plug can be sealed in the closed cavity, and the wire connected to the plug is led out through the wire outlet 12, thereby realizing the sealing of the socket 11, preventing water or water vapor in the external environment from entering the channel of the socket 11, and causing a short circuit inside the socket 11.

[0031] Specifically, in terms of the socket body 1, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , including a socket 11, a wire outlet 12 and a first sealing structure at the outer edge; wherein, the socket 11 is used to be plugged with a plug, so as to realize the power supply of an external device, and the socket 11 is recessed in the socket body 1 toward the bottom box 3, and its function is to expand the space of the plug in the socket 11, so as to ensure that when the upper cover 2 and the socket body 1 are covered, the plug can be airtightly arranged in the socket body 1. In addition, the main function of the wire outlet 12 is to ensure that the connecting wire of the plug can extend out of the waterproof socket, and it also plays a sealing role. The first sealing structure is specifically a waterproof baffle, which cooperates with the second sealing structure 21 to form a multi-layer baffle, thereby preventing external water or water vapor from entering the channel of the socket 11 when the cover is closed, causing a short circuit or damage to the internal circuit of the socket 11.

[0032] As for the upper cover 2, its main function is to prevent splash and water, and prevent water or water vapor from entering the hole of the socket 11. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The size of the bottom of the upper cover 2 matches the socket body 1, and the upper cover 2 and the socket body 1 are movably connected by flipping. Preferably, the upper cover 2 and the socket body 1 are movably connected by hinges. Specifically, the upper cover 2 is a box-shaped structure with one side open, and is connected to the socket body 1 through the open side, and the side opposite to the open side is arc-shaped to increase the internal space and prevent water accumulation. The specific thickness of the upper cover 2 can be adjusted according to the needs of the plug.

[0033] Preferably, the waterproof socket also includes a bottom box, see Figure 2-3The socket body 1 is fixedly mounted on the base box 3, the socket 11 is arranged at the corresponding positions of the socket body 1 and the base box 3, and the recessed portion of the socket 11 is arranged inside the base box 3. Specifically, the corresponding positions of the socket body 1 and the base box 3 refer to the position where the socket body 1 is directly above the base box 3, and the recessed portion of the socket 11 is inside the base box 3.

[0034] More specifically, the bottom box 3 is used to be placed in the wall to fix the socket body 1 and prevent leakage. Figure 2-3 As shown, specifically, a positioning column is provided on the bottom box 3, and a corresponding positioning hole is provided on the socket body 1. The socket body 1 is inserted into the positioning hole through a positioning piece and connected with the positioning column to achieve fixation on the bottom box 3. In this embodiment, the socket body 1 is fixedly mounted on the bottom box 3 by screws.

[0035] Preferably, the socket 11 includes at least one of a three-hole socket 111 and a two-hole socket 112, that is, the socket can be a three-hole socket 111, a two-hole socket 112, or a five-hole socket composed of a three-hole socket 111 and a two-hole socket 112, and the arrangement and structure of the socket can be set according to needs.

[0036] More preferably, in the present embodiment, the socket 11 is a five-hole socket composed of a three-hole socket 111 and a two-hole socket 112. The three-hole socket 111 and the two-hole socket 112 are recessed in a stepped manner on the socket body 1, and the recess depth of the two-hole socket 112 is greater than that of the three-hole socket 111. Since the two-hole plug is vertically inserted into the socket 11, such a design can reduce the thickness of the waterproof socket while ensuring that the upper cover 2 can be sealed when the socket 11 is in use, thereby increasing the reliability and convenience of our structure.

[0037] More preferably, see Figure 3 , the three-hole socket 111, the two-hole socket 112 and the outlet 12 are arranged in parallel or in parallel on the socket body 1, which can ensure that the wire of the plug is easier to be led out from the outlet 12. At the same time, the two-hole socket 112 is closer to the outlet 12 than the three-hole socket 111 on the socket body 1. This design can avoid the problem that the hard plastic of the wire part of the three-hole plug is stuck in the outlet 12, which causes the upper cover 2 to be difficult to cover or incompletely cover, thereby increasing the practicality and reliability of our socket 11. Further preferably, in this embodiment, the three-hole socket 111, the two-hole socket 112 and the outlet 12 are arranged vertically from top to bottom on the socket body 1, that is, in the socket body 1, the three-hole socket 111 is arranged above the two-hole socket 112, and the outlet 12 is arranged below the two-hole socket 112, so that the outlet 12 is arranged below, and the external water is not easy to accumulate and enter from the outlet 12, thereby improving the waterproof effect of this structure.

[0038] In terms of outlet 12, see Figure 3-4Preferably, a bayonet corresponding to the wire outlet 12 is provided on the upper cover 2, and sealing rings are provided at both the wire outlet 12 and the bayonet. When the cover is closed, the bayonet is docked with the wire outlet 12 and sealed by the sealing ring, thereby completing the waterproof sealing cover at the wire outlet 12.

[0039] In terms of the sealing cooperation between the socket body 1 and the upper cover 2, preferably, the first sealing structure includes an outer water baffle 131 and an inner water baffle 132, both of which are arranged around the outer edge of the socket body 1, the outer water baffle 131 is arranged outside the outer edge of the socket body 1, the inner water baffle 132 is arranged in the inner layer, and the height of the inner water baffle 132 is higher than the outer water baffle 131. The second sealing structure 21 includes a middle water baffle 211, which is correspondingly arranged between the outer water baffle 131 and the inner water baffle 132, that is, when the cover is closed, the middle water baffle 211 can be tightly inserted between the outer water baffle 131 and the inner water baffle 132, thereby forming a multi-layer baffle structure on the outer periphery of the socket body 1. Through the multi-layer baffle, it can effectively prevent external water or water vapor from entering the channel of the socket 11 through the outer edges of the socket body 1 and the upper cover 2. More specifically, the second sealing structure 21 also includes a sealing cover plate 212 arranged on the outside of the middle water baffle plate 211. When closed, the upper cover 2 abuts against the outer water baffle plate 131 through the sealing cover plate 212 to prevent the entry of water vapor. If water vapor enters through the gap between the outer water baffle plate 131 and the sealing cover plate 212, it will not be able to enter the socket body 1 because of the middle water baffle plate 211 and the inner water baffle plate 132.

[0040] For better results, please refer to Figure 3 A meandering water channel 133 is formed between the outer water baffle plate 131 and the inner water baffle plate 132, and a water outlet 134 is provided at the bottom of the outer water baffle plate 131. When water or water vapor from the external environment enters the gap between the outer water baffle plate 131 and the middle water baffle plate 211, it will gather in the meandering water channel 133 and flow out through the water outlet 134, and cannot enter the interior of the socket body 1. Specifically, two water outlets 134 are provided, and the two water outlets 134 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outlet 12.

[0041] Preferably, Figure 6 As shown, a waterproof sealing ring is also provided on the back of the socket body 1. When the socket body 1 is fixedly installed on the bottom box 3, the socket body 1 fits tightly against the wall through the waterproof sealing ring, which can prevent external water vapor or debris from entering the bottom box 3 of the waterproof socket through the gaps in the wall, thereby improving the reliability of the present structure.

[0042] Preferably, see Figure 3-5The upper cover 2 is movably provided with a lock buckle 22 at the wire outlet 12, and the socket body 1 is correspondingly provided with a snap-fitting portion. When the cover is closed, the lock buckle 22 rotates to the snap-fitting portion and snaps with the snap-fitting portion to lock the upper cover 2 and the socket body 1, thereby ensuring a sealed cover between the upper cover 2 and the socket body 1.

[0043] The advantage of this structure is that the splash-proof closed system is formed by the upper cover 2, the multi-layer baffle closed structure and the round water guide groove 133, and a sealing ring is set between the wall and the socket body 1 to seal the wall, which has a high dustproof and waterproof level, greatly ensuring the waterproof sealing of the waterproof socket, ensuring that water or water vapor from the outside world cannot enter the bottom box 3 and functional parts of the waterproof socket through the socket 11 channel, greatly improving the reliability and safety of the waterproof socket. At the same time, the socket 11 of this structure is an integrated design combining a two-hole and a three-hole socket 111, and by adjusting the position and depression degree of the two-hole socket 112 and the three-hole socket 111, it is ensured that when the socket 11 is used, the two-hole and three-hole plugs can be plugged into the socket body 1 in a sealed manner, effectively increasing the practicality and functionality of the waterproof socket.

[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment. For details, please refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, a sealing ring is provided in the meandering water guide groove 133, so that the waterproof grade of the waterproof socket can reach IP56, so that the structure can be applied to outdoor waterproof sockets and can be used normally even in heavy rain conditions.

[0046] In addition to normal household waterproof use, this structure can conveniently improve its waterproof level by adding a sealing ring in the circular water guide groove 133 without changing its internal structure, thereby ensuring a wide range of application scenarios for the waterproof socket.
