Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic technology, in particular to a wirelessly controlled safety induction socket. Background Art

[0002] Existing household sockets typically have a switch button to control the socket circuit on and off, preventing energy consumption when the socket is in standby mode. However, these existing socket circuits are inconvenient to control, requiring proximity to the socket. Most of these require manual control, making their convenience, reliability, and safety often overlooked. When searching for a power socket in the dark, the dim light makes it difficult to accurately determine the socket location. In this situation, people are prone to blindly inserting the socket or even using their hands to determine the location, which can easily lead to electric shock. Summary of the Invention

Compared with the electronic relay solution of the existing technology, it has very high reliability. The built-in capacitor and the firmware settings of the control panel realize the automatic power-off function. The color displayed in the display window is derived from the inherent colors of the red and green translucent panels, as well as the color of the two-color LED.

As a structural optimization, the socket features an expandable feature: multiple secondary switch module cavities can be sequentially connected to the primary switch module cavity, ensuring the operation of the combination switch, the indication of the two-color LED, and the color plate indication function, thus meeting the need to power multiple appliances simultaneously.

[0020] Through the above settings, the control panel 4 collects trace infrared rays emitted by the human body according to the infrared sensor 8.

[0026] It also includes a second switch module cavity 36, in which a second combination switch and a second socket module 38 are provided. The second switch module has the same structure as the first switch module, and the second socket module 38 has the same structure as the first socket module 10.
