Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wall sockets, and in particular to an energy-saving wall socket. Background Art

[0002] At present, a socket refers to a panel with one or more circuit wirings that can be inserted, through which different plugs can be inserted to power electrical devices.

[0003] A wall socket in the related art includes a panel on which a socket body is provided. The socket body is provided with a socket for inserting a plug pin.

[0004] In the process of implementing this application, the inventor discovered that there are at least the following problems in this technology: after the plug is connected to the socket body, the electrical equipment is powered on, but the connection or disconnection of the plug and the socket body is prone to leakage, causing damage to personal safety. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the electrical safety of the socket, the present application provides an energy-saving wall socket.

[0006] An energy-saving wall socket, comprising a panel, the panel being provided with a socket body and a first tact switch, the first tact switch and the socket body being arranged in series, a protective cover being rotatably connected to the panel for covering the socket body and the tact switch, the protective cover being provided with a first fixing block for driving the first tact switch to open and close;

[0007] The cover body includes two states: a closed state and a flip state. In the closed state, the protective cover is closed and the fixed block contacts the button of the first touch switch; in the flip state, the protective cover is opened and the fixed block is separated from the first touch switch.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the protective cover is closed, the fixed block contacts the button on the first touch switch, so that the circuit is connected and the electrical equipment is powered on. At the same time, the protective cover covers the plug of the electrical equipment to prevent water from entering the protective cover, thereby protecting the plug of the electrical equipment and preventing people from accidentally touching it. When the protective cover is opened, the fixed block no longer contacts the button on the first touch switch, so that the circuit is disconnected and the electrical equipment is powered off, thereby achieving energy saving. When the staff plugs in and out the plug of the electrical equipment, the socket body is prevented from leaking electricity, thereby achieving safety.

[0009] Optionally, the protective cover includes a cover body rotatably connected to the panel, the cover body is provided with a accommodating groove on the end surface facing the panel, the lower inner wall of the cover body is provided with a fixing hole, the fixing hole passes through the cover body toward the panel side, the cover body is provided with a fixing hole through which the power line passes, and a locking structure for limiting the rotation of the protective cover is provided between the panel and the cover body, the panel is provided with a first card slot on the end surface facing the cover body, and the protective cover is provided with a second card slot aligned with the first card slot, and the locking structure includes a magnet arranged in the first card slot and an iron sheet arranged in the second card slot, and the magnet is magnetically engaged with the iron sheet.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the magnet and the iron sheet are magnetically attracted to each other, the cover body is connected to the panel, making the panel difficult to rotate, thereby preventing the staff from opening it by mistake; in addition, the staff can use the fixing hole to easily rotate and open the cover body.

[0011] Optionally, the first tact switch includes two first pins, the first pins are elastic, a first mounting groove for the first tact switch to be embedded is provided on the panel, and a first mounting hole for the first pins to pass through is provided on the bottom wall of the first mounting groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the first touch switch is embedded in the first installation groove, which restricts the movement of the first touch switch and has a limiting effect.

[0013] Optionally, a first "V"-shaped bend portion is provided on the first pin, and the first bend portion is located on the side of the panel away from the cover body, and the maximum spacing of the first bend portion is greater than the maximum hole spacing of the two first mounting holes, or the maximum spacing of the first bend portion is greater than the maximum hole spacing of the two first mounting holes.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, after the two first bent portions pass through the first mounting hole, the first touch switch is fixed, making it difficult for the first touch switch to be separated from the panel. When the first touch switch is damaged, a force is applied to the first touch switch to easily separate the first touch switch from the panel, thereby facilitating replacement of the first touch switch.

[0015] Optionally, the protective cover also includes an operating panel slidably arranged on the cover body, and a slide connecting to the accommodating groove is provided on the side of the cover body away from the panel. The slide passes through the cover body in the vertical direction, and the operating panel is slidably arranged in the slide. The operating panel can slide out of the slide when it moves upward.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the operating panel is slid upwards to open the slideway, so that the straight-head plug can pass through the slideway and be inserted into the socket body.

[0017] Optionally, a sliding groove is provided on the horizontal side surface of the slide, and a slider embedded in the sliding groove is provided on the operating panel, and the slider is slidably provided in the sliding groove.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a slide groove and a slider are set to have a guiding function, so that the operating panel can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction; when the slider collides with the inner wall of the upper end of the slide groove, the slider is restricted from continuing to rise, that is, the operating panel is restricted from continuing to rise, preventing the operating panel from leaving the slide, which has a limiting effect.

[0019] Optionally, an elastic limiting block is provided at the bottom of the slide groove, and the side of the limiting block facing the slide is set as an arc surface.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the slider moves to above the limit block, the slider is limited, that is, the operating panel is limited, so that the operating panel is not easy to fall down, and the space formed by the rising operating panel, panel and wall can be used to store mobile phones, which acts as a mobile phone holder.

[0021] Optionally, the first fixed block is arranged on the operating panel, and a second tact switch is arranged on the panel. The second tact switch and the first tact switch are arranged in parallel with each other, and the fixed block contacts the button of the second tact switch during the sliding process; the operating panel includes two states, folded and extended. When the operating panel is in the folded state, the fixed block contacts the button of the first tact switch, and when the operating panel is in the extended state, the fixed block contacts the button of the second tact switch.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operating panel is not opened, the fixed block contacts the button of the first touch switch, so that the socket body is energized. When the operating panel slides upward, the fixed block separates from the first touch switch, the socket body is powered off, and the electrical equipment is powered off, which saves energy. In addition, it makes it less likely for workers to get electric shock when plugging and unplugging the socket, improving the safety of workers in using electricity. When the fixed block contacts the second touch switch, the socket body is energized, and the electrical equipment is energized.

[0023] Optionally, an operating block is provided on the end surface of the operating panel away from the panel.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, an operating block is provided to facilitate the staff to drive the operating panel to slide up and down.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. When the protective cover is closed, the fixed block contacts the button on the first touch switch, connecting the circuit and energizing the electrical device. At the same time, the protective cover covers the plug of the electrical device to prevent water from entering the protective cover, protecting the plug of the electrical device and preventing people from accidentally touching it. When the protective cover is opened, the fixed block no longer contacts the button on the first touch switch, disconnecting the circuit and powering off the electrical device, thus saving energy. When the staff plugs in or unplugs the plug of the electrical device, the socket body is prevented from leaking electricity, thus ensuring safety.

[0027] 2. Slide the operating panel to open the slide, making it easier for staff to insert and remove straight-head plugs from the socket body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
