Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrical equipment, in particular to a socket and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a common electrical equipment, the socket is often required to have waterproof performance in a humid and water environment, such as a bathroom, a kitchen and an outdoor use scene, so as to avoid problems such as electric leakage, electric shock or short circuit caused by water ingress. However, the existing technology mostly adopts a method of adding a protective cover on the socket, but the waterproof capability of the method of adding a protective cover on the socket is limited. SUMMARY

[0003] Therefore, the present application provides a socket and a vehicle to improve the waterproof capability.

[0004] The first aspect of the present application provides a socket, which comprises a shell; the shell is provided with a plurality of insertion holes; the shell is internally provided with a plurality of cavities adjacent to each other, each adjacent two cavities, one of which is an insertion cavity, and the other of which is an adjacent cavity; the position of the insertion cavity corresponds to the position of the insertion hole; the adjacent cavity is provided with a conductive structure, which partially extends into the insertion cavity to contact the plug pin of the plug inserted through the insertion hole.

[0005] The second aspect of the present application provides a vehicle, which comprises the aforementioned socket, and the vehicle supplies power to electrical equipment through the socket.

[0006] In the present application, since the shell is internally provided with a plurality of cavities adjacent to each other, and the conductive structure for contacting the plug pin of the plug inserted through the insertion hole is at least partially arranged in the adjacent cavity and the insertion cavity, when liquid enters the shell through a position other than the insertion hole, at least part of the conductive structure located in the adjacent cavity and the insertion cavity will not be in contact with the liquid, thereby reducing the degree of short circuit, electric leakage and corrosion of the conductive structure caused by the contact between the conductive structure and the liquid, and even completely avoiding such problems. Since the socket has good waterproof performance, the vehicle supplies power to electrical equipment through the socket, and is not prone to short circuit, electric leakage and other problems, thereby being safer.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0022] ​​As a common electrical device, the socket needs to be able to provide safe and reliable power supply in various environments, bringing convenience and comfort to our life and work. First of all, it needs to have high sealing function, which can prevent liquid from entering the socket in humid or water environment, avoid the danger of electric leakage, short circuit, fire, etc., and ensure the safety of power supply; secondly, it needs to have corrosion resistance function, which can prevent liquid from corroding the metal parts of the socket, prolong the service life of the socket, and ensure the quality of power supply; finally, it also needs to be able to adapt to various use occasions, such as kitchen, bathroom, balcony, outdoor, industrial equipment, smart home and outdoor camping, etc., to meet different power demand and scene, improve the convenience and comfort of power supply. Therefore, the present application provides a socket with the above functions.

[0023] As Figures 1-4 shown, in some embodiments, the socket 100 includes a housing 10, the housing 10 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 101H, the housing 10 is internally provided with a plurality of two adjacent chambers 20, each adjacent two chambers 20, one of the chambers is an insertion chamber 21, and the other chamber is an adjacent chamber 22, the position of the insertion chamber 21 corresponds to the position of the insertion hole 101H, the adjacent chamber 22 is provided with a conductive structure 30, and the conductive structure 30 partially extends into the insertion chamber 21 for contact with the plug pin 200b of the plug 200 inserted through the insertion hole 101H.

[0024] In the present application, since the housing 10 is internally provided with a plurality of two adjacent chambers 20, and the conductive structure 30 for contact with the plug pin 200b of the plug 200 inserted through the insertion hole 101H is at least partially arranged in the adjacent chamber 22 and the insertion chamber 21, when liquid enters the housing 10 through a position other than the insertion hole 101H, at least part of the conductive structure 30 located in the adjacent chamber 22 and the insertion chamber 21 will not be in contact with the liquid, thereby reducing the degree of short circuit, electric leakage and corrosion of the conductive structure 30 caused by the contact between the conductive structure 30 and the liquid, and even completely avoiding such problems.

[0025] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, each adjacent two chambers 20 share a first chamber side wall 201, and the first chamber side wall 201 is provided with a first through hole 2010, one end of the conductive structure 30 is arranged in the adjacent chamber 22, the other end passes through the first through hole 2010 and enters the insertion chamber 21, and when the plug pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted into the insertion chamber 21, it is in contact with the plug pin 200b.

[0026] Thus, the part of the conductive structure 30 which is prone to short circuit, leakage and corrosion caused by contact with liquid is all arranged in the abutment chamber 22 and the plug-in chamber 21, so that when liquid enters the casing 10 through a position other than the plug hole 101H, the short circuit, leakage and corrosion of the conductive structure 30 caused by contact with the liquid can be completely avoided.

[0027] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The abutment chamber 22 includes a second chamber side wall 202 opposite to the first chamber side wall 201, and the socket 100 further includes an elastic member 40, one end of the elastic member 40 abuts against the second chamber side wall 202 in the abutment chamber 22, the other end of the elastic member 40 is in contact with the conductive structure 30, the elastic member 40 is in a compressed state to provide elastic force to the conductive structure 30, and the elastic member 40 can be compressed so that the conductive structure 30 can move relative to the first through hole 2010.

[0028] The elastic member 40 can be, but is not limited to, a spring.

[0029] Thus, the conductive structure 30 can compress the elastic member 40 when subjected to pressure, and only be located in the abutment chamber 22, so that when the plug-in chamber 21 enters the liquid, the conductive structure 30 is not in contact with the liquid due to being located only in the abutment chamber 22, thereby avoiding short circuit, corrosion and other problems.

[0030] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The conductive structure 30 includes a conductive column 31, a conductive sheet 32 and a conductive wire 33; one end of the conductive column 31 is located in the abutment chamber 22, the other end passes through the first through hole 2010 and enters the plug-in chamber 21, and is in contact with the plug pin 200b when the plug pin 200b of the plug 200 is plugged into the plug-in chamber 21; the conductive sheet 32 is provided with a second through hole 320, and the conductive sheet 32 is sleeved on the part of the conductive column 31 located in the abutment chamber 22 through the second through hole 320; one end of the conductive wire 33 is connected with the conductive sheet 32, and the other end is connected with a power line 50 (as shown in Figure 5 ).

[0031] The conductive wire 33 is a structure in which the conductive wire 33 is wrapped by an insulating shell, so that the insulating shell of the conductive wire 33 will not cause short circuit, leakage and electric shock when in contact with liquid. The connection mode of the conductive wire 33 and the conductive sheet 32 can be, but is not limited to, welding.

[0032] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3As shown, a third through hole 2030 is arranged on the third chamber side wall 203 of the adjacent chamber 22 adjacent to the second chamber side wall 202, and the conductive wire 33 is connected with the power line 50 through the third through hole 2030.

[0033] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the plug-in chamber 21 includes a zero line plug-in chamber 21a and a fire line plug-in chamber 21b, and the shell 10 further has a ground line chamber 23 inside, and the zero line plug-in chamber, the fire line plug-in chamber and the ground line chamber 23 are in a triangular structure.

[0034] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the shell 10 further has a ground line socket 23H, and the ground line chamber 23 is arranged inside the shell 10 corresponding to the position of the ground line socket 23H.

[0035] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, a part of the plug-in chamber 21, the adjacent chamber 22 and the ground line chamber 23 are injection molded on the inner surface 1021 of the second shell 102, and another part is injection molded on the inner surface 1014 of the first shell 101. Thus, it is convenient to manufacture.

[0036] In some embodiments, the plug-in chamber 21, the adjacent chamber 22 and the ground line chamber 23 are all box type structures with one side open. That is, the projection of the plug-in chamber 21, the adjacent chamber 22 and the ground line chamber 23 on the inner surface 1021 of the second shell 102 is a square. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the projection of the plug-in chamber 21, the adjacent chamber 22 and the ground line chamber 23 on the inner surface 1021 of the second shell 102 can also be polygonal, circular and other shapes, and is not limited to the examples given herein.

[0037] In some embodiments, the socket 100 can be connected with a two-pin plug and / or a three-pin plug for use. In other embodiments, the socket 100 can also be connected with other plugs for use, and is not limited to the examples given.

[0038] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the adjacent chamber 22 includes a zero line adjacent chamber 22a and a fire line adjacent chamber 22b, the fire line in the power line 50 enters the fire line adjacent chamber 22b through the third through hole 2030 and is connected with the conductive wire 33, and the zero line in the power line 50 enters the zero line adjacent chamber 22a through the third through hole 2030 and is connected with the conductive wire 33.

[0039] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the socket 100 further comprises a power cord 50, a sleeve 51 and a first sealing member 52, the housing 10 is further provided with an interface 105, the sleeve 51 is sleeved on the power cord 50, the sleeve 51 is connected with the housing 10, the power cord 50 enters the inside of the housing 10 through the interface 105, and the first sealing member 52 is sleeved on the power cord 50 and located between the power cord 50 and the sleeve 51.

[0040] Therefore, the first sealing member 52 can prevent liquid from entering the inside of the housing 10 from the gap between the power cord 50 and the sleeve 51.

[0041] In some embodiments, the sleeve 51 is connected with the housing 10 in a detachable connection manner. Therefore, it is convenient to disassemble and maintain. The detachable connection manner includes threaded connection, pin connection, key connection or sliding connection, etc.

[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 As shown in Figure 7 As shown, the sleeve 51 comprises a first sub-sleeve 511 and a second sub-sleeve 512, the inner diameter of the second sub-sleeve 512 is smaller than that of the first sub-sleeve 511, the first sub-sleeve 511 is connected with the housing 10, the first sealing member 52 comprises a first flange part 521, a second flange part 522 and a tube part 523, the first flange part 521 and the second flange part 522 are located at both ends of the tube part 523, the outer diameters of the first flange part 521 and the second flange part 522 are greater than the inner diameter of the second sub-sleeve 512, the tube part 523 is located between the second sub-sleeve 512 and the power cord 50, the first flange part 521 is located at the side of a first end face 512a of the second sub-sleeve 512, and the second flange part 522 is located at the side of a second end face 512b of the second sub-sleeve 512.

[0043] The first sealing member 52 has elasticity, and specifically, the material of the first sealing member 52 can be, but is not limited to, silica gel or rubber, etc. Since the first sealing member 52 has elasticity and can be compressed, the outer diameters of the first and second rim portions 521 and 522 of the first sealing member 52 are greater than the inner diameter of the second sub-sleeve 512. The first sealing member 52 can be installed such that the tube body portion 523 is located between the second sub-sleeve 512 and the power cord 50, the first rim portion 521 is located on the side of the first end face 512a of the second sub-sleeve 512, and the second rim portion 522 is located on the side of the second end face 512b of the second sub-sleeve 512. Since the outer diameters of the first and second rim portions 521 and 522 of the first sealing member 52 are greater than the inner diameter of the second sub-sleeve 512, the first sealing member 52 is not easy to fall out of the sleeve 51 after installation.

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the outer tube surface of the tube body portion 523 is inclined towards the central axis of the second sub-sleeve 512 from the side away from the interface 105 to the side close to the interface 105, and the inclination is α; the inner tube surface of the second sub-sleeve 512 is inclined towards the central axis of the second sub-sleeve 512 from the side away from the interface 105 to the side close to the interface 105, and the inclination is β; and α>β. Figure 7

[0045] Thus, the tube body portion 523 of the first sealing member 52 and the second sub-sleeve 512 form a wedge-shaped structure, and the assembly of the two produces an interference amount, that is, the second sub-sleeve 512 with high hardness does not deform, while the tube body portion 523 of the first sealing member 52 deforms, and at the same time, a pre-pressure is generated on the second sub-sleeve 512 and the conductive wire 33, forming a seamless assembly to achieve a waterproof effect. In general, external force or water pressure will make the wedge-shaped structure more compressed, and at the same time, the wedge-shaped structure can also be disassembled, facilitating maintenance.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the outer tube surface of the tube body portion 523 is inclined towards the central axis of the second sub-sleeve 512 from the side away from the interface 105 to the side close to the interface 105, and the inclination is α; the inner tube surface of the second sub-sleeve 512 is inclined towards the central axis of the second sub-sleeve 512 from the side away from the interface 105 to the side close to the interface 105, and the inclination is β; and α>β. Figure 6 Thus, the tube body portion 523 of the first sealing member 52 and the second sub-sleeve 512 form a wedge-shaped structure, and the assembly of the two produces an interference amount, that is, the second sub-sleeve 512 with high hardness does not deform, while the tube body portion 523 of the first sealing member 52 deforms, and at the same time, a pre-pressure is generated on the second sub-sleeve 512 and the conductive wire 33, forming a seamless assembly to achieve a waterproof effect. In general, external force or water pressure will make the wedge-shaped structure more compressed, and at the same time, the wedge-shaped structure can also be disassembled, facilitating maintenance.

[0047] Thus, the tube body portion 523 of the first sealing member 52 and the second sub-sleeve 512 form a wedge-shaped structure, and the assembly of the two produces an interference amount, that is, the second sub-sleeve 512 with high hardness does not deform, while the tube body portion 523 of the first sealing member 52 deforms, and at the same time, a pre-pressure is generated on the second sub-sleeve 512 and the conductive wire 33, forming a seamless assembly to achieve a waterproof effect. In general, external force or water pressure will make the wedge-shaped structure more compressed, and at the same time, the wedge-shaped structure can also be disassembled, facilitating maintenance.

[0048] Figure 2 ​​As shown, the socket 100 further comprises a third sealing member 54, which is arranged on the plug-in chamber 21 and extends into the socket hole 101H. The third sealing member 54 is provided with a socket 54H, through which the plug pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted into the plug-in chamber 21. As shown in the figure, the width L1 of the socket hole 101H is less than the width L2 of the part 54P of the third sealing member 54 located in the socket hole 101H, so that the socket hole 101H presses the third sealing member 54 to make the socket 54H in a closed state, and the third sealing member 54 is made of elastic material. Figure 8 As shown, the width L1 of the socket hole 101H is less than the width L2 of the part 54P of the third sealing member 54 located in the socket hole 101H, so that the socket hole 101H presses the third sealing member 54 to make the socket 54H in a closed state, and the third sealing member 54 is made of elastic material.

[0049] By arranging the plug-in chamber 21 inside the shell 10, arranging the third sealing member 54 on the plug-in chamber 21 and extending the third sealing member 54 into the socket hole 101H arranged on the shell 10, the third sealing member 54 is provided with a socket 54H, the width of the socket hole 101H is less than the width of the part of the third sealing member 54 located in the socket hole 101H, and the socket hole 101H presses the third sealing member 54 to make the socket 54H in a closed state, thereby preventing liquid from entering the plug-in chamber 21 from the socket hole 101H on the shell 10 and the socket 54H of the third sealing member 54, and having good waterproof ability.

[0050] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, the socket hole 101H is a rectangular shape, and the part 54P of the third sealing member 54 located in the socket hole 101H is a cuboid shape (or similar to a cuboid shape, such as a cuboid shape with rounded corners). The width L1 of the socket hole 101H can be understood as the length of the wide side of the rectangular socket hole 101H, and the width L2 of the part 54P of the third sealing member 54 located in the socket hole 101H can be understood as the length of the wide side of the cuboid shape, and the wide side of the rectangular socket hole 101H is parallel to the wide side of the cuboid shape. Figure 8 In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, the shell 10 comprises a first shell 101 and a second shell 102, the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are connected, and the chamber wall of the plug-in chamber 21 is arranged on the inner surface 1014 of the first shell 101 and the inner surface 1021 of the second shell 102 along the plug-in direction, that is, the inner surface 1014 of the first shell 101 and the inner surface 1021 of the second shell 102 are both provided with the chamber wall of the plug-in chamber 21, and the socket hole 101H is arranged on the first shell 101 at a position corresponding to the plug-in chamber 21.

[0051] Figure 9 In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, the shell 10 comprises a first shell 101 and a second shell 102, the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are connected, and the chamber wall of the plug-in chamber 21 is arranged on the inner surface 1014 of the first shell 101 and the inner surface 1021 of the second shell 102 along the plug-in direction, that is, the inner surface 1014 of the first shell 101 and the inner surface 1021 of the second shell 102 are both provided with the chamber wall of the plug-in chamber 21, and the socket hole 101H is arranged on the first shell 101 at a position corresponding to the plug-in chamber 21. ​

[0052] The plug-in direction refers to the extension direction of the plug pin 200b when the plug pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted into the socket 100.

[0053] As shown in some embodiments, Figure 9 The socket 100 further comprises a connecting member 103, the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are connected through the connecting member 103, the second shell 102 is provided with a through hole 102H, the inner surface 1014 of the first shell 101 is provided with a blind hole 1013, the connecting member 103 can be but is not limited to a screw, the connecting member 103 is arranged in the through hole of the second shell 102 and the blind hole of the first shell 101, so that the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are connected. It should be noted that the blind hole on the first shell 101 can also be replaced by a through hole, but the blind hole 1013 can play a better waterproof role than the through hole. In other embodiments, the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 can also be connected by thread connection, welding or adhesion, and are not limited to the examples given herein.

[0054] As shown in some embodiments, Figure 9 When the connecting member 103 is a screw, the socket 100 further comprises a screw sealing member 104, the screw sealing member 104 is sleeved on the screw rod 1031 and abuts between the screw cap 1032 and the outer surface of the second shell 102 (when the outer surface of the second shell 102 is provided with a groove, it abuts between the screw cap 1032 and the groove), or abuts between the screw rod 1031 and the hole wall of the through hole 102H.

[0055] The shape of the shell 10 can be but is not limited to a cylindrical shape, a cubic shape, a polygonal shape or a combined shape (i.e., two or more shapes are combined).

[0056] As shown in some embodiments, Figure 9As shown, the socket 100 further comprises a housing seal 70 disposed between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 to prevent liquid from entering the interior of the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 from the gap therebetween. Specifically, the outer surface 1022 of the second housing 102 is in a stepped structure, comprising a first sub-surface 1022a, a second sub-surface 1022b, and a stepped surface 1022c connected between the first sub-surface 1022a and the second sub-surface 1022b, the circumference of the first sub-surface 1022a being smaller than that of the second sub-surface 1022b, the housing seal 70 being sleeved on the outside of the first sub-surface 1022a, the first housing 101 also being sleeved on the portion of the second housing 102 corresponding to the first sub-surface 1022a, the housing seal 70 being abutted between the end surface 1011 of the first housing 101 and the stepped surface 1022c of the second housing 102. In other embodiments, the housing seal 70 can also be disposed in a groove (not shown) provided on the first sub-surface 1022a of the first housing 101, so that the housing seal 70 is abutted between the groove and the inner circumferential surface of the first housing 101 to prevent liquid from entering the interior of the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 from the gap therebetween, without being limited to the examples described herein.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1A, the third seal 54 comprises a first seal wall 541 and a second seal wall 542 disposed opposite to each other at the socket 54H, the size of the socket 54H being determined based at least on the distance between the first seal wall 541 and the second seal wall 542. Figure 10 In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1A, the third seal 54 comprises a first seal wall 541 and a second seal wall 542 disposed opposite to each other at the socket 54H, the size of the socket 54H being determined based at least on the distance between the first seal wall 541 and the second seal wall 542. Figure 11 As shown, the projection of the socket 54H on the plane perpendicular to the length direction of the socket 101H is in a zigzag shape.

[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1A, the third seal 54 comprises a first seal wall 541 and a second seal wall 542 disposed opposite to each other at the socket 54H, the size of the socket 54H being determined based at least on the distance between the first seal wall 541 and the second seal wall 542. Figure 11 In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1A, the third seal 54 comprises a first seal wall 541 and a second seal wall 542 disposed opposite to each other at the socket 54H, the size of the socket 54H being determined based at least on the distance between the first seal wall 541 and the second seal wall 542.

[0059] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1A, the third seal 54 comprises a first seal wall 541 and a second seal wall 542 disposed opposite to each other at the socket 54H, the size of the socket 54H being determined based at least on the distance between the first seal wall 541 and the second seal wall 542.

[0060] As the projection of the socket 54H on a plane perpendicular to the length direction of the insertion hole 101H is a straight line, and the distance between the first socket wall 541 and the second socket wall 542 is substantially the same, liquid can easily flow into the plug-in chamber 21 once it enters the socket 54H. However, in the present application, the projection of the socket 54H on a plane perpendicular to the length direction of the insertion hole 101H is a broken line, i.e. the projection of the first socket wall 541 and the second socket wall 542 on a plane perpendicular to the length direction of the insertion hole 101H are both broken lines. As liquid flows down the socket 54H along the broken line, it needs to pass through the corners of the broken line. By setting the size of the first socket wall 541 and the second socket wall 542 at the corners of the broken line, the first socket wall 541 and the second socket wall 542 can be pressed against each other at the corners to reduce the gap, thereby preventing liquid from flowing down and into the plug-in chamber 21.

[0061] In some embodiments, the broken line has at least two corners. As liquid flows down the socket 54H along the broken line, it needs to pass through more corners, which can further prevent liquid from flowing down and into the plug-in chamber 21. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the broken line can have only one corner.

[0062] In some embodiments, the third sealing member 54 has a portion outside the housing 10, and the distance between this portion and the outer surface of the housing 10 gradually increases from the middle of the third sealing member 54 to the edge of the third sealing member 54. That is, the edge of the portion of the third sealing member 54 outside the housing 10 is tilted away from the housing 10, i.e. as shown in Figure 11 the third sealing member 54 includes an upwardly tilted portion 54a and a flat portion 54b, the flat portion 54b is parallel to the outer surface of the housing 10, and the upwardly tilted portion 54a is inclined relative to the flat portion 54b.

[0063] As the upwardly tilted portion 54a is inclined relative to the flat portion 54b, when the plug pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted into the socket 54H of the third sealing member 54, a pre-stress is generated to make the third sealing member 54 and the plug pin surface 200a of the plug 200 (as shown in Figure 4In this way, the third sealing member 54 is more tightly fitted with the plug face 200a of the plug 200, thereby preventing liquid from entering between the plug face 200a of the plug 200 and the outer surface of the third sealing member 54, and avoiding liquid from entering the socket 54H of the third sealing member 54. In this extreme case of use in water, water pressure can only make the third sealing member 54 tightly adhere to the plug face 200a of the plug 200, and cannot be washed away, i.e. the power-on state can work for a long time in extreme environments, and the liquid-proof and leakage-proof function is achieved.

[0064] In this way, the third sealing member 54 is more tightly fitted with the plug face 200a of the plug 200, thereby preventing liquid from entering between the plug face 200a of the plug 200 and the outer surface of the third sealing member 54, and avoiding liquid from entering the socket 54H of the third sealing member 54. In this extreme case of use in water, water pressure can only make the third sealing member 54 tightly adhere to the plug face 200a of the plug 200, and cannot be washed away, i.e. the power-on state can work for a long time in extreme environments, and the liquid-proof and leakage-proof function is achieved.

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the third sealing member 54 is inclined relative to the plane part 54b, and the inclination angle θ is 10°-30°. Figure 11 As shown in FIG. 6, the upwardly curved part 54a is inclined relative to the plane part 54b, and the inclination angle θ is 10°-30°. Since the plug face 200a of the plug 200 is usually flat, when the inclination is too large, the plug 200 cannot be completely inserted into the socket 100. When the inclination is too small, the plug face 200a of the plug 200 is not tightly fitted with the part of the third sealing member 54 outside the shell 10, and thus the upwardly curved part 54a is more tightly fitted with the plug face 200a of the plug 200, and the plug 200 can be completely inserted into the socket 100.

[0066] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the third sealing member 54 is inclined relative to the plane part 54b, and the inclination angle θ is 10°-30°. Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 6, the projection of the part of the third sealing member 54 outside the shell 10 on the shell 10 is an oval. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the projection of the part of the third sealing member 54 outside the shell 10 on the shell 10 can also be a rectangle, a polygon, etc., which is not limited here.

[0067] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the third sealing member 54 is inclined relative to the plane part 54b, and the inclination angle θ is 10°-30°. Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 6, the shell 10 is provided with a groove 1012, and the part of the third sealing member 54 outside the shell 10 is located in the groove 1012.

[0068] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the third sealing member 54 is inclined relative to the plane part 54b, and the inclination angle θ is 10°-30°. Figure 3 In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the third sealing member 54 is inclined relative to the plane part 54b, and the inclination angle θ is 10°-30°. Figure 10As shown, the socket 100 further comprises a clamping mechanism 60, which is arranged in the plug-in cavity 21, the conductive structure 30 is connected with the clamping mechanism 60, the clamping mechanism 60 is used for clamping the pin 200b of the plug 200 when the pin 200b is inserted into the clamping mechanism 60, so that the pin 200b is connected with the conductive structure 30; wherein the clamping mechanism 60 is made of insulating material.

[0069] Since the conductive structure 30 is connected with the clamping mechanism 60, when the pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted into the socket 100, the pin 200b of the plug 200 is clamped by the clamping mechanism 60, and the electrical contact with the conductive structure 30 is more stable.

[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 With Figure 10 As shown, the clamping mechanism 60 comprises a plug-in guide piece 601 and a plug-in spring piece 602, the plug-in guide piece 601 and the plug-in spring piece 602 are oppositely arranged in the direction perpendicular to the plug-in direction, the plug-in guide piece 601 is provided with a fourth through hole 601H, the conductive column 31 also passes through the fourth through hole 601H, and is connected with the conductive column 31 when the pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted between the plug-in guide piece 601 and the plug-in spring piece 602.

[0071] Wherein, the pin 200b can be a metal sheet.

[0072] Since the plug-in guide piece 601 and the plug-in spring piece 602 are oppositely arranged in the direction perpendicular to the plug-in direction, when the pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted between the plug-in guide piece 601 and the plug-in spring piece 602, the plug-in guide piece 601 and the plug-in spring piece 602 clamp the metal sheet-shaped pin 200b in the form of two opposite surfaces, and the clamping is more stable.

[0073] In some embodiments, the plug-in guide piece 601 is fixedly connected with the cavity wall of the plug-in cavity 21, when the pin 200b of the plug 200 is not inserted, the plug-in guide piece 601 and the plug-in spring piece 602 abut against each other, when the pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted between the plug-in guide piece 601 and the plug-in spring piece 602, the plug-in spring piece 602 can move relative to the plug-in guide piece 601 and move in the direction away from the plug-in guide piece 601.

[0074] Since the plug guide sheet 601 is fixed and the plug elastic sheet 602 needs to move, the structure of the plug guide sheet 601 is simpler than that of the plug elastic sheet 602, and thus, compared with setting two plug elastic sheets 602, the structure of setting one plug guide sheet 601 and one plug elastic sheet 602 is simpler.

[0075] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The plug elastic sheet 602 includes a sheet part 6021 and a support part 6022, the support part 6022 is connected with the sheet part 6021, and the support part 6022 abuts between the sheet part 6021 and the circumferential wall of the plug cavity 21 opposite to the sheet part 6021 and close to the sheet part 6021. Wherein, the support part 6022 has a certain elasticity, so that when the plug pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted between the plug guide sheet 601 and the plug elastic sheet 602, the sheet part 6021 can move relative to the plug guide sheet 601 and move away from the plug guide sheet 601.

[0076] Wherein, when the plug guide sheet 601 and the plug elastic sheet 602 abut each other, the support part 6022 can be in a compressed state or in a free state (i.e. not compressed or not stretched).

[0077] In other embodiments, the plug guide sheet 601 can also be replaced by the plug elastic sheet 602, so that when the plug pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted between two plug elastic sheets 602, the plug elastic sheets 602 move away from each other to make the plug pin 200b of the plug 200 inserted between two plug elastic sheets 602.

[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 One end of the elastic member 40 is connected with the conductive column 31, the other end is connected with the second chamber side wall 202 of the abutment chamber 22, and the elastic member 40 is in a compressed state to make the conductive column 31 connected with the plug pin 200b when the plug pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted between the plug guide sheet 601 and the plug elastic sheet 602.

[0079] Thus, when the plug 200 is not inserted into the socket 100, since the conductive column 31 is connected with the elastic member 40, the socket spring 602 can push the conductive column 31 in the process of approaching the socket guide 601, and push the conductive column 31 to the position where one end of the conductive column 31 is located in the fourth through hole 601H of the socket guide 601, so that even when liquid enters the plug-in chamber 21 through the socket 54H of the third sealing member 54, the area and the possibility of contact of the conductive column 31 with the liquid can be reduced.

[0080] Further, the elastic member 40 is connected with the conductive column 31 through the conductive sheet 32, wherein the connection mode of the elastic member 40 and the conductive sheet 32 can be abutting, detachable connection or fixed connection.

[0081] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 12 The side of the socket spring 602 close to the socket guide 601 and corresponding to the conductive column 31 is provided with a protrusion 603, and the protrusion 603 abuts with the conductive column 31 when the socket spring 602 abuts with the socket guide 601.

[0082] Thus, the socket spring 602 can push the conductive column 31 in the process of approaching the socket guide 601, and push the conductive column 31 to the side of the socket guide 601 away from the socket spring 602, or even push it out of the plug-in chamber 21, so that even when liquid enters the plug-in chamber 21 through the socket 54H of the third sealing member 54, the possibility of contact of the conductive column 31 with the liquid can be further reduced.

[0083] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The side of the socket guide 601 close to the socket spring 602 is provided with waterproof silica gel 6011.

[0084] Since the waterproof silica gel 6011 has a certain flow capacity, when the socket spring 602 pushes the conductive column 31 to the side of the socket guide 601 away from the socket spring 602, the waterproof silica gel 6011 can flow to block the fourth through hole 601H, so that even when liquid enters the plug-in chamber 21 through the socket 54H of the third sealing member 54 and flows from between the socket spring 602 and the socket guide 601, the conductive column 31 can be prevented from contacting with the liquid, and further prevent the occurrence of situations such as electric leakage, electric shock and short circuit caused by the contact of the conductive column 31 with the liquid.

[0085] The waterproof silica gel 6011 has a through hole corresponding to the fourth through hole 601H, so that the conductive column 31 can pass through, and the conductive column 31 can be electrically connected with the plug 200 when the plug-in pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted between the waterproof silica gel 6011 and the socket spring 602.

[0086] In some embodiments, the socket guide sheet 601 and the edge of the socket 54H corresponding to the socket guide sheet 601 are located on the same straight line.

[0087] Therefore, when the plug-in pin 200b of the plug 200 is inserted between the socket spring 602 and the socket guide sheet 601, the friction of the socket guide sheet 601 is small, and the wear of the waterproof silica gel 6011 on the socket guide sheet 601 can be reduced.

[0088] In some embodiments, the socket spring 602 is provided with a wear-resistant layer close to one side of the socket guide sheet 601. The material of the wear-resistant layer can be but not limited to polytetrafluoroethylene, silicone rubber, or fluororubber.

[0089] In other embodiments, the material of the socket spring 602 is a wear-resistant material, and the wear-resistant material can be but not limited to ABS hard plastic (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer).

[0090] Therefore, the wear-resistant ability of the socket spring 602 can be improved.

[0091] In this application, the socket 100 in the figure can be assembled in a top-down order. In addition, the socket 100 in this application has multiple redundant waterproof structures, which increases the redundant waterproof structures of the power-off state and the power-on state, but the production cost is not high, the number of parts is small, the structure is compact, and the atmosphere is beautiful.

[0092] In the above embodiments, the material of the sealing member can be silicone. In other embodiments, the material of the sealing member can also be polyurethane or rubber.

[0094] As Figure 13 shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle 300 includes the socket 100 provided in any of the foregoing embodiments, and the vehicle 300 supplies power to the electrical equipment 400 through the socket 100.

[0095] Since the socket 100 has good waterproof performance, the vehicle 300 supplies power to the electrical equipment 400 through the socket 100, and short circuit, electric leakage and fire and other problems are less likely to occur, and the safety is higher.

[0096] The electrical equipment 400 can be, but is not limited to, an electromagnetic oven and a lamp.
