A type of socket

Abstract

This invention discloses a socket, comprising a socket body and a sliding cover. The socket body is characterized by having a motor and a drive head. One end of the drive head protrudes from the upper surface of the socket body. A driven member is fixed to the bottom surface of the sliding cover corresponding to the drive head position. The motor drives the drive head, and the drive head drives the driven member to move, allowing the sliding cover to be slidably mounted on the upper surface of the socket body. In this socket, the sliding cover engages with the drive head on the socket body via the driven member. The motor inside the socket body drives the drive head to rotate, which in turn drives the driven member and the sliding cover to move, thus achieving automatic opening or closing of the sliding cover on the socket body. The operation is simple and the movement of the sliding cover is stable.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention specifically relates to a socket. Background Technology

[0002] The existing sliding cover socket, as seen in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. 202020865665X, entitled "Embedded Sliding Cover Socket," with an authorization announcement date of December 1, 2020, includes an integrated socket with a sliding cover and a socket mounting component. The socket mounting component includes a first mounting portion for fixing an object to be mounted and a second mounting portion for fixing the integrated socket. The sliding cover is located between the upper edges of the first mounting portion and the upper edges of the second mounting portion, allowing the sliding cover to slide out and be hidden behind the surface of the object to be mounted. This utility model solves the problem of damage to the sliding cover itself and the surface of the object to be mounted caused by impacts to the corners of the sliding cover.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned sliding cover socket still has the following shortcomings: (1) When the above-mentioned sliding cover is opened or closed, it is necessary to push the handle on the sliding cover by hand, and the sliding cover cannot be opened or closed automatically. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a socket with a simple structure and an automatic sliding cover.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows:

[0006] A socket includes a socket body and a sliding cover, characterized in that: a motor and a drive head are provided on the socket body, one end of the drive head protrudes from the upper surface of the socket body, and a driven member is fixed on the bottom surface of the sliding cover corresponding to the position of the drive head; the motor drives the drive head to rotate, and the drive head drives the driven member to move, so that the sliding cover is slidably mounted on the upper surface of the socket body; in this socket, the sliding cover cooperates with the drive head on the socket body through the driven member, the motor inside the socket body drives the drive head to rotate, and then the drive head drives the driven member and the sliding cover to move, so as to realize the automatic opening or closing of the sliding cover on the socket body, which is simple to operate and the movement of the sliding cover is stable.

[0007] The objective of this invention can also be achieved by the following technical measures:

[0008] Specifically, the drive head includes a first drive gear, the output shaft of the motor is connected to a drive gear, the drive gear meshes with the first drive gear, the upper end of the first drive gear protrudes from the upper surface of the socket body, the driven member includes a first driven rack, the first drive gear meshes with the first driven rack; the first drive gear protruding from the upper surface of the socket body facilitates engagement with the first driven rack, and this transmission method has a simple structure and stable transmission.

[0009] Specifically, the drive head further includes a second drive gear, and a transmission shaft connects the first drive gear and the second drive gear respectively. The upper end of the second drive gear protrudes from the upper surface of the socket body. The driven member includes a second driven rack, which is fixed to the bottom surface of the sliding cover. The second drive gear meshes with the second driven rack. By engaging the first drive gear with the first driven rack and the second drive gear with the second driven rack, the drive head can drive the sliding cover to move more smoothly. At the same time, the second drive gear rotates synchronously with the first drive gear through the transmission shaft.

[0010] Specifically, it further includes a guide post, which is fixed to the bottom surface of the sliding cover. A guide post fixing seat is provided on the upper surface of the socket body, and the guide post is slidably mounted on the guide post fixing seat. Through the cooperation of the guide post and the guide post fixing seat, the movement of the sliding cover on the socket body is guided, preventing deviation when the sliding cover moves on the socket body.

[0011] Specifically, it further includes a limiting retaining ring. The guide post fixing seat has a through hole through which the guide post passes. One end of the guide post has a fixing groove, and the limiting retaining ring is locked in the fixing groove. The limiting retaining ring limits the movement of the guide post on the guide post fixing seat and prevents the guide post from detaching from the guide post fixing seat when it moves.

[0012] Specifically, the upper surface of the socket body is provided with guide post fixing seats at both ends, and the bottom surface of the sliding cover is fixed with guide posts corresponding to the guide post fixing seats at both ends of the upper surface of the socket body; so that both ends of the sliding cover can be guided by the guide posts, so that the sliding cover moves and is guided better on the socket body.

[0013] Specifically, the sliding cover includes a housing and a panel. The panel is attached to the upper surface of the housing. The housing has a recessed display module mounting slot, in which a display module is disposed. The panel has a display area corresponding to the position of the display module. The driven member is fixed to the bottom surface of the housing. This allows the sliding cover to also have a display (time, weather) function, which can meet more user needs. At the same time, the display module mounting slot provides a stable working space for the display module.

[0014] Furthermore, the housing is also provided with a wireless charging module mounting slot, in which a wireless charging module is installed, and a wireless charging area is provided on the panel corresponding to the position of the wireless charging module; so that the sliding cover also has a wireless charging function, which can meet more user needs. At the same time, the wireless charging module mounting slot provides a stable working space for the wireless charging module.

[0015] Specifically, the socket body is provided with a mounting cavity, and the motor and drive head are both placed in the mounting cavity; the mounting cavity provides a stable working space for the motor and drive head, ensuring the stable operation of the motor and drive head.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0017] In this socket, the sliding cover works in conjunction with the drive head on the socket body via a driven component. The motor inside the socket body drives the drive head to rotate, which in turn drives the driven component and the sliding cover to move, thus achieving automatic opening or closing of the sliding cover on the socket body. It is simple to operate and the movement of the sliding cover is stable.

[0018] By having the first drive gear mesh with the first driven rack and the second drive gear mesh with the second driven rack, the drive head can drive the sliding cover to move more smoothly. At the same time, the second drive gear can rotate synchronously with the first drive gear through the transmission shaft.

[0019] The guide post and guide post fixing seat work together to guide the movement of the sliding cover on the socket body and prevent deviation when the sliding cover moves on the socket body. Attached Figure Description
