Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of socket-related technology, and more specifically, to a socket. Background Technology

[0002] As a common electrical connection accessory, sockets have different socket shapes to adapt to different national standards, such as British Standard, Australian Standard, and American Standard, due to the limitations of their use scenarios.

[0003] Currently, a single socket has only a single standard socket. Therefore, when encountering plugs with different national standards, multiple sockets need to be installed for compatibility. Placing multiple sockets of different national standards side-by-side on the socket cover results in an excessively large cover area, leading to inconvenient installation and significant space consumption. Although some socket covers are beginning to integrate sockets, existing sockets cannot adequately accommodate multiple national standards, resulting in poor compatibility and an inability to meet the needs of various application scenarios.

[0004] As can be seen from the above, the current sockets have poor compatibility, which limits their applicability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a socket that solves the problem of poor compatibility of sockets in the prior art, which limits the scope of application.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a socket is provided. The socket includes a faceplate, on which at least four sockets are provided: an American Standard (ASME) socket, an Australian Standard (ASME) socket, a British Standard (BST) socket, and a European Standard (UE) socket. Along a first direction, the faceplate has a first region, a central region, and a second region. The ground sockets of the BST and ASME sockets are located in the first region. The neutral and live sockets of the BST socket, the ground socket of the ASME socket, and the UEFA socket are located in the second region. The neutral and live sockets of the ASME socket and the neutral and live sockets of the ASME socket are located in the central region. The neutral socket of the ASME socket... The neutral wire socket of the Australian standard socket is connected to and angled with the live wire socket of the American standard socket, and the live wire socket of the Australian standard socket is connected to and angled with the live wire socket of the American standard socket; a rear seat, with a face cover covering the rear seat to form a mounting cavity; a protective door assembly, including an independently set first protective door and a second protective door, the first and second protective doors being movably installed inside the mounting cavity, at least a portion of the first protective door being located on the side of the second protective door facing the rear seat; a reset assembly, the reset assembly being disposed between the protective door assembly and the face cover and / or the rear seat, the reset assembly being used to provide driving force for the first and second protective doors.

[0007] Furthermore, along the direction from the second region toward the first region, at least a portion of the neutral wire socket of the US standard socket is located below the neutral wire socket of the Australian standard socket.

[0008] Furthermore, the end of the neutral wire socket of the American standard socket and the end of the neutral wire socket of the Australian standard socket coincide, so that the neutral wire socket of the American standard socket and the neutral wire socket of the Australian standard socket fit together in a V-shape.

[0009] Furthermore, the ratio of the overlapping area of ​​the neutral wire socket of the American standard socket and the neutral wire socket of the Australian standard socket to the neutral wire socket of the American standard socket is 0.1-0.5; and / or the ratio of the overlapping area of ​​the neutral wire socket of the American standard socket and the neutral wire socket of the Australian standard socket to the neutral wire socket of the Australian standard socket is 0.1-0.5.

[0010] Furthermore, along the direction from the second region toward the first region, at least a portion of the grounding socket of the Australian standard socket is connected to the grounding socket of the British standard socket; and / or the grounding socket of the Australian standard socket is located above the grounding socket of the British standard socket; and / or the grounding sockets of the American standard socket, Australian standard socket, British standard socket and European standard socket are arranged in a collinear manner.

[0012] Furthermore, the second protective door also has a second rocker structure connected to the ground electrode connecting rod. The second rocker structure is located on the side of the first protective door facing the second region. The second rocker structure is spaced apart from the rear seat to form an interval region. The rear seat has a pair of stop blocks extending toward the interval region. In a direction perpendicular to the direction from the second region toward the first region, at least a portion of the first side and the second side of the second rocker structure abuts or separates from the stop blocks, so that when the second rocker structure abuts with the stop blocks, the stop blocks restrict the movement of the second rocker structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the first protective door has a first rocker structure, which is spaced apart from the rear seat to form an interval area. Along the direction from the second area toward the first area, the first rocker structure includes a pair of first sub-rocker structures, one of which mates with the neutral and live wire sockets of the American standard socket, and the other of which mates with the neutral and live wire sockets of the Australian standard socket.

[0016] Furthermore, the rear seat and / or the face cover have a first limiting member and a second limiting member extending toward the mounting cavity, the first limiting member abutting at least a portion of the end of the first reset member of the first protective door away from the reset assembly; the second limiting member abutting the surface of the second protective door toward the first region.

[0017] Applying the technical solution of this invention, the socket of this application includes a face cover, a back seat, a protective door assembly, and a reset assembly. The face cover is provided with at least American standard, Australian standard, British standard, and European standard sockets. Along a first direction, the face cover has a first region, a central region, and a second region. The ground wire sockets of the British standard socket and the Australian standard socket are located in the first region. The neutral and live wire sockets of the British standard socket, the ground wire socket of the American standard socket, and the European standard socket are located in the second region.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0031] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.

[0032] To address the problem of poor socket compatibility in existing sockets, which limits their applicability, this invention provides a socket.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the socket includes a faceplate 20, a backplate 10, a protective door assembly 30, and a reset assembly 40. The faceplate 20 is provided with at least four sockets: American Standard (US) 210, Australian Standard (Australian) 220, British Standard (BST) 230, and European Standard (EU) 240. Along a first direction, the faceplate 20 has a first region, a middle region, and a second region. The ground socket of the British Standard (BST) 230 and the ground socket of the Australian Standard (AST) 221 are located in the first region. The neutral and live sockets of the British Standard (BST) 230, the ground socket of the US Standard (US) 211, and the EU Standard (EU) 240 are located in the second region. The neutral and live sockets of the US Standard (US) 212 and 213, and the neutral and live sockets of the Australian Standard (AST) 222 and 223 are located in the middle region. 212 is connected to the neutral wire socket 222 of the Australian standard socket and is set at an angle; 213 of the American standard socket is connected to the live wire socket 223 of the Australian standard socket and is set at an angle; the face cover 20 is placed on the rear seat 10 to form a mounting cavity 101; the protective door assembly 30 includes a first protective door 310 and a second protective door 320 that are independently set, the first protective door 310 and the second protective door 320 are movably installed inside the mounting cavity 101, and at least a portion of the first protective door 310 is located on the side of the second protective door 320 facing the rear seat 10; the reset assembly 40 is disposed between the protective door assembly 30 and the face cover 20 and / or the rear seat 10, and the reset assembly 40 is used to provide driving force for the first protective door 310 and the second protective door 320.

[0034] Specifically, the socket of this application has American standard socket 210, Australian standard socket 220, British standard socket 230 and European standard socket 240, so as to achieve a reasonable distribution of multiple national standard sockets on the same cover 20, thereby making it suitable for various plugs and improving practicality. In addition, some sockets are connected, thus realizing the rational use of space in the cover 20. The American standard socket 210, Australian standard socket 220, British standard socket 230 and European standard socket 240 of this application all have corresponding grounding holes, improving the safety of use. This application uses two protective doors to protect multiple sockets, reducing the use of materials and simplifying assembly.

[0035] Furthermore, the neutral wire socket 212 and live wire socket 213 of the American standard socket and the neutral wire socket 222 and live wire socket 223 of the Australian standard socket are both flat structures. Therefore, this application connects the American standard socket 210 and the Australian standard socket 220 to enable the same protective door to be used in conjunction with the American standard socket 210 and the Australian standard socket 220.

[0036] In this embodiment, the American standard socket 210, Australian standard socket 220, British standard socket 230 and European standard socket 240 all have grounding holes, and the grounding holes are arranged in a common line to facilitate use with compatible grounding sockets. The provision of grounding holes helps to enhance the safety of socket use.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, along the direction from the second region toward the first region, at least a portion of the neutral socket 212 of the US standard socket is located below the neutral socket 222 of the Australian standard socket.

[0038] Specifically, at least a portion of the neutral wire socket 212 of the American standard socket is located below the neutral wire socket 222 of the Australian standard socket to enable the ground wire socket 241 of the American standard socket 210 and the European standard socket to be connected, and the ground wire sockets of the Australian standard socket 220 and the British standard socket 230 to be connected, so as to reasonably arrange the neutral wire socket, ground wire socket and live wire socket of the American standard socket 210, Australian standard socket 220, British standard socket 230 and European standard socket 240.

[0039] Furthermore, the end of the neutral wire socket 212 of the American standard socket and the end of the neutral wire socket 222 of the Australian standard socket coincide, so that the neutral wire socket 212 of the American standard socket and the neutral wire socket 222 of the Australian standard socket fit together in a V-shaped structure.

[0040] In this application, the neutral wire socket 212 of the American standard socket and the neutral wire socket 222 of the Australian standard socket, which are arranged in a roughly V-shaped structure, share a protective door. Therefore, the arrangement of the neutral wire socket and the Australian standard socket 220 in this application is different from the X-shaped arrangement in the prior art. The arrangement of the neutral wire socket and the Australian standard socket 220 in this application allows the protective door to be activated when the plug is inserted into either the neutral wire socket or the Australian standard socket 220.

[0041] Furthermore, the ratio of the overlapping area of ​​the neutral wire socket 212 of the American standard socket and the neutral wire socket 222 of the Australian standard socket to the neutral wire socket 212 of the American standard socket is 0.1-0.5.

[0042] Furthermore, the ratio of the overlapping area of ​​the neutral wire socket 212 of the American standard socket and the neutral wire socket 222 of the Australian standard socket to the neutral wire socket 222 of the Australian standard socket is 0.1-0.5.

[0043] It should be noted that the size of the overlapping area can be adjusted within the above range as needed.

[0044] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the grounding socket 221 of the Australian standard socket and the grounding socket 231 of the British standard socket are connected to each other, so that the grounding sockets of the Australian standard socket 220 and the British standard socket 230 are located inside a whole hole structure, which facilitates the processing of the face cover 20 during processing.

[0045] Furthermore, the grounding socket 221 of the Australian standard socket is located above the grounding socket 231 of the British standard socket.

[0046] Furthermore, the ground wire sockets of American standard socket 210, Australian standard socket 220, British standard socket 230 and European standard socket 240 are set to the same line, which is the symmetrical line between the neutral wire socket and the live wire socket of American standard socket 210, Australian standard socket 220, British standard socket 230 and European standard socket 240.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the European standard socket 240 is located in the area between the live wire socket 233 and the neutral wire socket 232 of the British standard socket.

[0048] Furthermore, the neutral wire socket 242 of the European standard socket is connected to the neutral wire socket 232 of the British standard socket, and the live wire socket 243 of the European standard socket is connected to the live wire socket 233 of the British standard socket, so as to facilitate direct drilling during processing, reduce the process and make convenient operation, while also making reasonable use of the shared space.

[0049] Furthermore, the grounding socket 241 of the European standard socket is located above the live wire socket 243 of the European standard socket, and the grounding socket 241 of the European standard socket is connected to the grounding socket 211 of the American standard socket, so as to facilitate direct drilling during processing, reduce the process and facilitate operation, while also making reasonable use of the shared space.

[0050] The grounding socket 241 of the European standard socket is located above the grounding socket 211 of the American standard socket.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the reset assembly 40 includes a first reset member 410 and a second reset member 420. The first reset member 410 is disposed between the first protective door 310 and the face cover 20 and / or the rear seat 10. The first reset member 410 provides a driving force for the first protective door 310 to move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the second region toward the first region. The second reset member 420 is disposed between the second protective door 320 and the face cover 20 and / or the rear seat 10. The second reset member 420 provides a driving force for the second protective door 320 to move in a direction of the second region toward the first region.

[0052] Specifically, one end of the first reset member 410 is connected to the first protective door 310, and the other end of the first reset member 410 is connected to the face cover 20. Alternatively, the other end of the first reset member 410 can be connected to the rear seat 10. The first reset member 410 extends in a direction perpendicular to the direction from the second region toward the first region to provide a driving force in a direction perpendicular to the direction from the second region toward the first region.

[0053] Furthermore, the first reset member 410 is a spring. The first reset member 410 can be compressed, and the spring can provide a reset force to the first protection door 310 after being compressed by the first protection door 310.

[0054] Furthermore, the first protective door 310 has a first protective position that blocks the American standard socket 210 and the Australian standard socket 220 and a first avoidance position that avoids the American standard socket 210 and the Australian standard socket 220, and the first reset member 410 provides driving force for the first protective door 310 to switch toward the first protective position.

[0055] In this embodiment, one end of the second reset member 420 is connected to the second protective door 320, and the other end of the second reset member 420 is connected to the face cover 20. Alternatively, the other end of the first reset member 410 can be connected to the rear seat 10. The second reset member 420 extends along the direction from the second region toward the first region to provide a driving force along the direction from the second region toward the first region.

[0056] Furthermore, the second reset member 420 is a spring. The second reset member 420 can be compressed, and the spring can provide a reset force to the second protection door 320 after being compressed by the second protection door 320.

[0057] Furthermore, the second protective door 320 has a second protective position that blocks the British standard socket 230 and the European standard socket 240 and a second avoidance position that avoids the British standard socket 230 and the European standard socket 240, and the second reset member 420 provides a driving force for the second protective door 320 to switch toward the second protective position.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first reset member 410 is disposed in the central region to correspond with the first protective door 310 in the central region; the second reset member 420 is disposed in the second region to provide driving force for the second reset member 420 to move toward the first region.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the rear seat 10 and / or the face cover 20 have a first limiting member 110 and a second limiting member 130 extending toward the mounting cavity 101. The first limiting member 110 abuts against at least a portion of the end of the first reset member 410 of the first protection door 310 away from the reset assembly 40, and the second limiting member 130 abuts against the surface of the second protection door 320 toward the first region.

[0060] Specifically, the first limiting member 110 is used to restrict the first protective door 310, and the second limiting member 130 is used to restrict the second protective door 320, so that during pre-installation, the first limiting member 110 and the second limiting member 130 can provide a contact position for the first protective door 310 and the second protective door 320, facilitating the installation of the first protective door 310 and the second protective door 320. Furthermore, the first limiting member 110 and the second limiting member 130 also serve to limit the movement area of ​​the first protective door 310 and the second protective door 320.

[0061] As shown in the figure, the second protective door 320 has a ground electrode connecting rod, which is located on the side of the first protective door 310 facing the cover 20. The ground electrode connecting rod and the rear seat 10 are spaced apart to form a cavity, and the first protective door 310 is movably disposed inside the cavity.

[0062] The first protective door 310 moves inside the cavity, so that the first protective door 310 will not interfere with the second protective door 320 when it moves.

[0063] Furthermore, the first protective door 310 has a first rocker structure, which is spaced apart from the rear seat 10 to form an interval area. Along the direction from the second area toward the first area, the first rocker structure includes a pair of first sub-rocker structures, one of which mates with the neutral wire socket 212 and the live wire socket 213 of the American standard socket, and the other first sub-rocker structure mates with the neutral wire socket 222 and the live wire socket 223 of the Australian standard socket.

[0064] The first protective door 310 is configured to correspond to the neutral wire socket 222 and the live wire socket 223 of the Australian standard socket and the neutral wire socket 212 and the live wire socket 213 of the American standard socket. The two first sub-rocker structures are configured to correspond to the Australian standard socket 220 and the American standard socket 210 respectively. The first sub-rocker structure has the effect of preventing single-pole insertion.

[0065] In this embodiment, along a direction perpendicular to the direction from the second region toward the first region, the first side of the first sub-rocker structure has a first protrusion 311, the second side of the first sub-rocker structure has a second protrusion 312, and the rear seat 10 has a stop block 140 extending toward the interval region. The first protrusion 311 and / or the second protrusion 312 are separated from or abut against the stop block 140. When the first protrusion 311 and / or the second protrusion 312 abut against the stop block 140, the stop block 140 restricts the movement of the first protective door 310.

[0066] When one of the neutral and live wire sockets of the Australian standard socket 220 and the American standard socket 210 is accidentally touched, the corresponding protrusion of the other neutral and live wire sockets rotates to a position that abuts against the stop block 140. At this time, the first protection door 310 is limited, and thus the first protection door 310 does not move, improving the safety of the socket.

[0067] In this embodiment, the structure is not limited to the above-described structure of setting the stop block 140. Alternatively, the rear seat 10 may have a hole structure, with the first protrusion 311 and / or the second protrusion 312 having a protrusion 3121 bent towards the interval area. The protrusion 3121 is separated from the hole structure, or at least a portion of the protrusion 3121 extends into the interior of the hole structure to restrict the movement of the first protective door 310. Specifically, when one of the neutral and live wire holes of the Australian standard socket 220 and the American standard socket 211 is accidentally touched, at least a portion of the other corresponding protrusion 3121 of the neutral and live wire holes extends into the interior of the hole structure, thereby limiting the movement of the first protective door 310. The first protective door 310 does not move, thus keeping it between the American standard socket 210 and the Australian standard socket 220 and their corresponding sockets, preventing electric shock and improving the safety of the socket.

[0068] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the second protective door 320 has a second rocker structure, which is connected to the ground electrode connecting rod. The second rocker structure is located on the side of the first protective door 310 facing the second region. The second rocker structure is spaced apart from the rear seat 10 to form an interval region. The rear seat 10 has a pair of stop blocks 120 extending toward the interval region. At least a portion of the first and second sides of the second rocker structure abuts or separates from the stop blocks 120 in a direction perpendicular to the direction from the second region toward the first region, so that when the second rocker structure abuts against the stop blocks 120, the stop blocks 120 restrict the movement of the second rocker structure.

[0069] Specifically, when the neutral wire socket 242 or the live wire socket of the British standard socket 230 and the European standard socket corresponding to the second protective door 320 is accidentally touched, the second rocker structure rotates, and at least a portion of the first or second side of the second rocker structure abuts against the stop block 120. The stop block 120 restricts the movement of the second protective door 320 so that the second protective door 320 remains between the British standard socket 230 and the European standard socket 240 and the corresponding socket, thus preventing electric shock.

[0070] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
