Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of socket technology, specifically to a five-hole socket. Background Technology

[0002] A power socket consists of two-prong and three-prong plugs and is made of insulating material. Sockets are relatively space-efficient, economical, and convenient. However, with evolving needs, ordinary sockets no longer meet the requirements of certain situations, such as bathrooms where a certain level of protection is required. Furthermore, existing sockets are generally fixed; if an appliance's cord is not long enough, it may not be able to connect to the socket and an adapter may be needed. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in socket design. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a five-hole socket that has a protective function and allows for height adjustment.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A five-hole socket, characterized in that it includes a mounting bracket, a socket panel, and a base. The base is fixedly connected to the socket panel to form the socket body and is disposed within the cavity of the mounting bracket. A horizontal slide rod is provided on the first and second sides of the base. An inclined surface is formed on the horizontal slide rod. A vertical slide rod is connected to the horizontal slide rod through the inclined surface. The inclined surface is inclined from the base side to the socket panel side. The vertical slide rod is located in a groove formed on both sides of the base. When the vertical slide rod is pressed and moves along its vertical track, the horizontal slide rod moves inward along its horizontal track, unlocking the vertical and horizontal slide rods. Pressing the socket panel enables three-position downward adjustment of the socket body, and pressing the base enables three-position upward adjustment of the socket body. The mounting bracket has square holes corresponding to the positions of the horizontal slide rods. The square holes are set along the height direction of the mounting bracket and are located at different heights. Square rods are formed at both ends of the horizontal slide rods. When the socket body is at different heights, the square rods extend out of the base and are located in the square holes at different heights.

[0006] The present invention further includes a spring mounting hole at the center of the horizontal slide bar, a limiting plate formed on the base, a spring mounting post formed on the limiting plate, a return spring provided in the spring mounting hole, one end of the return spring located on the spring mounting post, and the other end abutting against the inner side of the spring mounting hole.

[0007] The present invention further includes a manual operation part formed at the center of the horizontal slide bar, an operation hole formed on the insert panel, the manual operation part extending into the operation hole, wherein the manual operation part has an operation slope, and when an external force is applied to the operation slope, the horizontal slide bar can be manually unlocked and pushed to move inward thereto.

[0008] The present invention further provides that the vertical slide bar includes a pressing part and an actuating part. The actuating part is formed on both sides of the vertical slide bar, and its bottom surface is an inclined surface to adapt to the inclined surface. The pressing part is located at the end of the vertical slide bar to receive pressure. A hook is formed on the housing where the slide groove is located to limit the vertical slide bar from detaching from the base.

[0009] The present invention further provides that the four corners of the first platform of the base are provided with reset spring mounting holes, and the four corners of the corresponding mounting bracket are provided with reset spring sleeve posts. One end of the reset spring is located in the reset spring mounting hole, and the other end is sleeved on the reset spring sleeve post.

[0010] The present invention further provides that the mounting bracket is also connected to a protective component, the protective component including a protective panel and a protective cover that are fastened to the mounting bracket, one end of the protective cover being rotatably connected to one end of the protective panel, and the other end being fastened to the other end of the protective panel.

[0011] The present invention further includes a socket assembly within the base, comprising an N-level socket, an L-level socket, and a grounding socket, arranged in a tortoise-shaped configuration. Both the N-level and L-level sockets include a connecting piece for connection to a terminal block, a first pin, and a second pin. The first and second pins have identical structures and are symmetrically distributed vertically. The corners of the first and second pins have elastic circular segments, and straight contact segments are also formed on the first and second pins for engaging the pins.

[0012] The present invention is further characterized in that the grounding socket is connected to the grounding terminal.

[0013] The present invention further provides that the plug panel has five plug holes, forming a three-prong plug hole and a two-prong plug hole.

[0014] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the base and the insert panel are fastened together.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The vertical slide rod and the horizontal slide rod are connected by an inclined plane. When the vertical slide rod is pressed down at the arrow point, it descends along the vertical track of the base. The inclined plane pushes the horizontal slide rod inward along the horizontal track of the base, compressing the return spring. Releasing the hand causes the horizontal slide rod to move outward along the horizontal track of the base. The inclined plane pushes the vertical slide rod upward along the vertical track of the base, and simultaneously, the square rod enters the square hole for fixation. Additionally, a hook is provided on the base to limit movement and prevent the vertical slide rod from detaching from the base. This structure enables multi-position lifting and lowering adjustment of the socket body. Attached Figure Description

One end of the return spring 60 is located on the spring mounting post 304, and the other end abuts against the inner side of the spring mounting hole 403.

[0040] A manual operation part 404 is formed at the center of the horizontal slide bar 40, and an operation hole 201 is formed on the insert panel 20. The manual operation part 404 extends into the operation hole 201. The manual operation part 404 has an operation slope 4041. When an external force is applied to the operation slope 4041, the horizontal slide bar 40 can be manually unlocked and pushed to move inward.

[0041] The vertical slide bar 50 includes a pressing part 501 and an actuating part 502. The actuating part 502 is formed on both sides of the vertical slide bar 50, and its bottom surface is a slope to adapt to the slope 401. The pressing part 501 is located at the end of the vertical slide bar 50 to receive pressure. A hook 305 is formed on the housing where the slide groove 301 is located to limit the vertical slide bar 50 from detaching from the base 30.

[0042] The base 30 has four corners of the first platform with reset spring mounting holes 302, and the four corners of the mounting bracket 10 have corresponding reset spring sleeve posts 102. One end of the reset spring is located in the reset spring mounting hole 302, and the other end is sleeved on the reset spring sleeve post 102.

[0043] The mounting bracket 10 is also connected to a protective component 70, which includes a protective panel 701 and a protective cover 702 that are fastened to the mounting bracket 10. One end of the protective cover 702 is rotatably connected to one end of the protective panel 701, and the other end is fastened to the other end of the protective panel 701.

[0044] The base 30 is provided with a socket assembly 80, which includes an N-level socket 801, an L-level socket 802, and a grounding socket 803. The N-level socket 801, L-level socket 802, and grounding socket 803 are arranged in a turtle-shaped manner. The N-level socket 801 and L-level socket 802 each include a connecting piece 804 connected to the terminal block, a first pin 805, and a second pin 806. The first pin 805 and the second pin 806 have the same structure and are symmetrically distributed vertically. The corners of the first pin 805 and the second pin 806 have elastic circular sections. The first pin 805 and the second pin 806 also have straight contact sections for mating with the pins.

[0045] The feature is that the grounding socket 803 is connected to the grounding terminal.

[0046] The insertion panel 20 has five insertion holes, forming a three-hole insertion hole and a two-hole insertion hole.

[0047] The base 30 and the insert panel 20 are fastened together.

[0048] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The vertical slide rod and the horizontal slide rod are connected by an inclined plane. When the vertical slide rod is pressed at the arrow point, it descends along the vertical track of the base. The inclined plane pushes the horizontal slide rod inward along the horizontal track of the base, compressing the return spring. Releasing the hand causes the horizontal slide rod to move outward along the horizontal track of the base. The inclined plane pushes the vertical slide rod upward along the vertical track of the base, and simultaneously, the square rod enters the square hole for fixation. Additionally, a hook is provided on the base to limit movement and prevent the vertical slide rod from detaching from the base. This structure enables multi-position height adjustment of the socket body.
