Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electrical connection, in particular to a socket. Background Art

[0002] There are box-style outlets available on the market. The outlet, or the outlet panel, is placed inside a box, and the box has a lid that conceals the outlet panel. When power is needed, simply lift the lid and insert a plug into the jack on the outlet panel inside the box to power on. This box and outlet combination protects the outlet when not in use, preventing dust and moisture from entering through the jack and causing leakage or damage to electrical components. It is particularly suitable for high-humidity environments such as bathrooms, where it prevents users, especially children, from accidentally touching the plug. It also conceals the outlet panel, adding a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0003] For example: Patent application number 201810914979.1 discloses a "wall hidden socket", which installs the live wire plug, the neutral wire plug and the ground wire plug into the socket back cover, fixes the live wire plug, the neutral wire plug and the ground wire plug respectively through the wire fixing seat that is snapped into the socket back cover, installs the safety door assembly into the socket panel, and then buckles the socket panel and the socket back cover together, and then installs the assembled socket assembly on the middle cover, installs the middle cover bracket on the bottom box, and then installs the assembled middle cover on the middle cover bracket on the bottom box, and finally buckles the surface cover on the middle cover to complete the assembly, and the assembled wall hidden socket is embedded in the wall for hiding, so that the middle cover is flush with the wall. For another example, the patent with application number 202220880001.X discloses a "hidden socket", which includes a middle plate with a panel provided on it; wherein, one side of the middle plate is provided with a cavity for hiding the plug, and the other side of the middle plate is connected to a copper part; a notch is provided on the panel, and a cover is provided on the notch; the notch is covered by the cover so that the plug is hidden in the cavity.

[0004] However, they all have the following disadvantages: the box and outlet are fixed, and the outlet panel is fixed in position within the box. However, plugs vary in size. If the plug is too large, it will push the cover open when inserted into the outlet, preventing it from closing the box, failing to protect against dust and moisture and looking unsightly. If the plug is too small, inserting and removing the plug is difficult, making it awkward and inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0011] As an improvement of the above solution, an anti-slip strip is provided at the bottom of the telescopic hole, and the anti-slip block is provided below the anti-slip strip. By moving the positioning handle, the anti-slip block can be clamped on the anti-slip strip, and the top contact block can be clamped on the socket panel.

[0012] As an improvement of the above solution, the positioning handle further includes a handle block provided on the top of the handle body, the handle block being provided above the anti-slip strip, and the handle block can be clamped on the anti-slip strip by moving the positioning handle.

[0020] The implementation of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The socket body of the present invention utilizes an adjustment assembly to adjust its installation position within the base body. Specifically, the distance between the socket faceplate and the base body's plug-in interface can be adjusted based on the size of the plug, allowing the plug to be fully accommodated within the base body and the cover to completely cover the plug-in interface. This eliminates the need for the plug to occupy space outside the socket when in use, further enhancing the socket's aesthetics.

The design is user-friendly and simple in structure.

[0022] Specifically, the adjustment assembly includes a positioning member and a positioning handle. The positioning handle abuts and limits the positioning member, causing the positioning member to lose its elastic deformation ability and remain connected to the adjustment positioning device, thereby fixing the socket body in the accommodating cavity. The positioning handle is pulled up to separate the positioning handle and the positioning member. When the socket body is pushed with force, the positioning member will deform due to interference with the adjustment positioning device, allowing the socket body to overcome the resistance of the adjustment positioning device and move. After reaching the new position, the positioning member returns to its original state and reconnects with the adjustment positioning device, thus re-fixing the socket body and adjusting the position of the socket body in the accommodating cavity.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby stated that any directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inside," and "outside" that appear or will appear in this document are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] See also Figure 1-11 The present invention discloses a socket, comprising a base body 1, a socket body 2, and an adjustment assembly. The base body 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 11, and the socket body 2 is disposed within the receiving cavity 11. An adjustment and positioning device is provided on the inner sidewall of the receiving cavity 11. The receiving cavity 11 passes through both end surfaces of the base body 1 to form an insertion port 12 and an electrical port 13, which are disposed opposite each other. The base body 1 is provided with a cover 4, which is movably connected to the base body 1 to open or close the insertion port 12.

[0036] The socket body 2 includes a socket panel 21 and a socket body 22 fixedly connected to the socket panel 21. The socket panel 21 is arranged near one end of the socket interface 12, and a telescopic hole 211 is provided on the socket panel 21; the adjustment component includes a positioning member 23 and a positioning handle 3. The positioning member 23 is arranged on the side of the socket panel 21, and the positioning handle 3 is passed through the telescopic hole 211 and is movably connected to the socket panel 21.

[0037] The positioning handle 3 and the positioning piece 23 are in contact with each other, so that the positioning piece 23 and the adjustment positioning device are connected to fix the socket body 2; the positioning piece 23 and the positioning handle 3 are separated by moving the positioning handle 3, so that the positioning piece 23 can be deformed to realize the movement of the socket body 2.

[0038] The socket body of the present invention utilizes an adjustment assembly to adjust its installation position within the base body. Specifically, the distance between the socket faceplate and the base body's plug-in interface can be adjusted based on the size of the plug, allowing the plug to be fully accommodated within the base body and the cover to completely cover the plug-in interface. This eliminates the need for the plug to occupy space outside the socket when in use, further enhancing the socket's aesthetics. Furthermore, the appropriate distance between the socket faceplate and the plug-in interface makes plugging and unplugging simpler, easier, more labor-saving, and more convenient for the user. The design is user-friendly and simple in structure.

[0039] Specifically, the adjustment assembly includes a positioning member and a positioning handle. The positioning handle abuts and limits the positioning member, causing the positioning member to lose its elastic deformation ability and remain connected to the adjustment positioning device, thereby fixing the socket body in the accommodating cavity. The positioning handle is pulled up to separate the positioning handle and the positioning member. When the socket body is pushed with force, the positioning member will deform due to interference with the adjustment positioning device, allowing the socket body to overcome the resistance of the adjustment positioning device and move. After reaching the new position, the positioning member returns to its original state and reconnects with the adjustment positioning device, thus re-fixing the socket body and adjusting the position of the socket body in the accommodating cavity.

[0040] It should be noted that the socket panel 21 is provided with sockets 213, which include two or three sockets. An electrical plug is electrically connected to the socket by inserting into the two or three sockets, respectively meeting the power connection needs of two or three electrical plugs. The side walls of the base body 1 are also provided with wire troughs 18 for accommodating electrical wires. The wire troughs 18 extend through the side walls of the accommodating cavity 11, the plug interface 12, and the side walls of the plug interface 12, preventing wires from being routed through the plug interface and preventing the cover from fully covering the plug interface.

[0041] like Figure 3 、 5As shown in Figure 9, the positioning member 23 comprises an elastic arm 231 and a positioning bar 232. The elastic arm 231 extends downward from the socket panel 21, and the positioning bar 232 is located at the free end of the elastic arm 231. The elastic arm 231 has a certain degree of elasticity. Under the action of external forces, the elastic arm can produce a certain degree of deformation, causing the positioning bar at its free end to shift. When the positioning handle is restrained, the elastic arm cannot deform, and the positioning bar remains connected to the adjustment and positioning device.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 5-6 As shown in Figures 8-11, the positioning handle 3 includes a handle body 31, a top contact block 32 provided on the outer wall of the handle body 31, and an anti-slip block 33 provided on the inner wall of the handle body 31. The positioning handle 3 abuts against the elastic arm 231 via the top contact block 32, and the positioning handle 3 abuts against the socket body 22 via the anti-slip block 33. In other words, the socket body 22 abuts against the positioning member 23 via the positioning handle 3. Furthermore, with the help of the socket body, the positioning handle can effectively limit the positioning member, effectively ensuring that the socket body can be fixed in the accommodating cavity even under the action of external forces. The provision of the top contact block can reduce the contact area between the positioning handle and the elastic arm, reducing the friction between the positioning handle and the elastic arm during movement, making the positioning handle move more smoothly. Similarly, the provision of the anti-slip block can reduce the contact area between the positioning handle and the socket body, reducing the friction between the positioning handle and the socket body during movement, making the positioning handle move more smoothly.

[0043] Preferably, if Figure 9 As shown, the positioning handle 3 abuts against the free end of the elastic arm 231 through the top contact block 32. The anti-slip block 33 and the top contact block 32 are arranged opposite to each other. The number of the top contact block 32 and the anti-slip block 33 are two respectively. When the elastic arm is deformed, its free end is displaced, so the abutment and limiting at its free end can prevent the elastic arm from deforming. Even if the positioning member loses the ability to elastically deform, the positioning strip always remains connected to the adjustment positioning device. At this time, the socket body is pushed. Since the positioning member cannot be deformed, the positioning strip cannot be separated from the adjustment positioning device, and the socket body cannot move in the accommodating cavity, and is thus locked and fixed in the accommodating cavity.

[0044] Preferably, if Figure 5 、 6As shown in Figures 9 and 9, the bottom of the telescopic hole 211 is provided with an anti-slip bar 24, and the anti-slip block 33 is located below the anti-slip bar 24. By moving the positioning handle 3, the anti-slip block 33 can be locked onto the anti-slip bar 24, and the top contact block 32 can be locked onto the socket panel 21. When the positioning handle is pulled up and extends outside the socket panel, the positioning handle and the positioning member are separated, leaving a gap between the positioning member and the socket body. The positioning member is not restricted in position and can produce elastic deformation. Under the action of external force, it can resist and separate from the adjustment positioning device, thereby achieving the position adjustment of the socket body. The cooperation between the anti-slip bar and the anti-slip block limits the positioning handle and prevents it from escaping the telescopic hole. The user can pull the positioning handle to move the socket body toward the plug interface, shortening the distance between the plug interface and the socket body. At the same time, because the anti-slip block is locked onto the anti-slip bar, the top contact block is also locked onto the socket panel, which balances the forces on the socket panel, making it easier to pull the socket body, saving effort, and preventing it from getting stuck or leaking.

[0045] Preferably, if Figure 4 、 6 As shown in Figures 9-11, the positioning handle 3 also includes a handle block 34 provided on the top of the handle body 31. The handle block 34 is provided above the anti-slip strip 24. By moving the positioning handle 3, the handle block 34 can be clamped on the anti-slip strip 24. In addition to serving as an armrest, the handle block can also cooperate with the anti-slip strip to limit the positioning handle. Retract the positioning handle and move it into the socket body to re-engage with the positioning member. At this time, the handle block is clamped on the anti-slip strip to prevent the positioning handle from falling off the telescopic hole.

[0046] In order to prevent the positioning handle from automatically extending out of the socket panel when the socket body does not need to be adjusted, so that the positioning member cannot be locked and limited, the socket body is prone to displacement. Figure 7-8 As shown in Figures 10-11, the positioning handle 3 also includes positioning blocks 35 provided on both side walls of the handle body 31. The outer wall of the socket body 22 is provided with a buckle groove 221 corresponding to the positioning member 23. The buckle groove 221 is provided with elastic bars 222 on both sides of the wall. The elastic bars 222 are provided with protrusions 223. By moving the positioning handle 3, the handle blocks 34 can be locked onto the protrusions 223. As the positioning handle is retracted into the socket body, the positioning blocks on both sides contact the protrusions, pushing the elastic bars to produce elastic deformation, causing the positioning blocks to pass over the protrusions and the elastic bars to return to their original state. At this time, the positioning blocks are stuck on the protrusions, and the positioning handle cannot move outward. Only by applying greater force to force the elastic bars to produce elastic deformation again can the positioning handle be pulled up again, effectively ensuring the reliability of the positioning handle locking and limiting the positioning member.

[0047] In order to facilitate the user to buckle the handle block and pull up the positioning handle, preferably, as Figure 3-4As shown in Figures 6-7 and 9, the side wall of the telescopic hole 211 is provided with an inclined surface 212, and the bottom of the handle block 34 is provided with a hand-grip groove 341. The inclined surface 212 and the hand-grip groove 341 are provided correspondingly; the inclined surface 212 extends inward and obliquely downward from the top of the telescopic hole 211. The provision of the hand-grip groove can provide a more stable connection between the user and the positioning handle. The provision of the inclined surface serves as a guide and also leaves sufficient space between the telescopic hole and the handle block, making it easier for the user to insert a hand or tool into the hand-grip groove and then pull up the positioning handle.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 1-2 As shown in Figures 6 and 9, the adjustment and positioning device is provided with an adjustment tooth group 16, and the adjustment tooth group 16 is composed of a plurality of racks; the positioning member 23 is meshed and connected with the adjustment tooth group 16 through a positioning bar 232. Among them, a plurality of racks are spliced ​​toward the plug interface 12 or the electrical interface 13. A tooth groove is formed between two adjacent racks, and the positioning bar 232 can be stuck in the tooth groove to realize the connection between the positioning member 23 and the adjustment and positioning device. Preferably, the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11 is provided with an adjustment groove 15, and the adjustment groove 15 extends from the plug interface 12 to the electrical interface 13, and the adjustment tooth group 16 is arranged in the adjustment groove 15. When pushing or pulling the socket body, the positioning bar can contact the rack, causing the elastic arm to produce elastic deformation, so that the positioning bar passes over the rack, and falls into another tooth groove after the elastic arm returns to its original shape, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the socket body.

[0049] Preferably, if Figure 1-2 As shown, the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11 is provided with a guide bar 17, and the socket body 2 is sleeved on the guide bar 17 and can move along the guide bar 17. The provision of the guide bar ensures that the socket body moves in a predetermined direction without deviation.

[0050] Preferably, if Figure 2 As shown, a limit block 14 is provided on the inner side wall of the electrical interface 13 , and the limit block 14 limits the socket body 2 to prevent the socket body from separating from the base body during movement.

[0051] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, the side of the socket panel 21 is provided with a spring block 214, and the spring block 214 is provided with a mounting hole 215. The side wall of the socket body 22 is provided with a clip 224, and the clip 224 is locked in the mounting hole 215. The combination of the mounting hole and the clip allows the socket panel and the socket body to be fixedly installed, with a simple structure and easy installation.

[0052] In summary, the present invention provides a socket that can adjust the position of the socket panel, is easy to operate, and has a simple structure.

[0053] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
