Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of sockets, and in particular to a wall socket. Background Art

[0002] Household electrical sockets are generally wall sockets. In order to avoid the exposed plugs of refrigerators, air conditioners, table lamps and other electrical appliances that need to be fixed for a long time, the sockets are usually hidden on the wall behind some furniture. However, the plug itself has a certain thickness, and when it is plugged into the socket, it will protrude from the wall, making it impossible for furniture such as sofas, bedside tables, refrigerators, etc. to lean against the wall, affecting the appearance and layout of the room.

[0003] In the prior art, invention patent CN 113422262 A discloses a wall socket, which has an adjustment structure capable of adjusting the embedding depth of the socket module, and can meet the needs of electrical plugs of various thicknesses. Its adjustment structure includes a spring piece with a positioning shaft integrally formed on the socket module shell and a plurality of position adjustment holes arranged on the side wall of the installation slot or the side wall of the shell and arranged at intervals along the depth direction. When adjusting, pressing the spring piece can make the positioning shaft disengage from the adjustment hole. After adjusting in place, the positioning shaft automatically resets under the action of elasticity and snaps into the corresponding position adjustment hole to achieve locking, thereby achieving the adjustment of the recessed depth of the socket module. However, the wall socket has the following defects: when adjusting, both hands are required to press the spring pieces at the same time, which is inconvenient to adjust; the spring piece is extremely elastic, and the matching clearance with the socket shell is extremely small, so it is difficult to disengage the positioning shaft of the spring piece from the adjustment hole, and the operating experience is poor; the spring piece is easily pressed and broken, making the entire socket unusable, and the use cost is high. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve at least part of the technical problems in the prior art, the present disclosure proposes a novel wall socket with adjustable depth, which can not only meet the needs of electrical plugs of various thicknesses, but also is easy to operate and provides a good user experience.

[0005] Based on this, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a wall socket is provided, which includes: an installation panel, which is provided with a accommodating cavity, and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity is provided with a multi-level card slot; a socket body, which is slidably connected to the multi-level card slot through the side of the accommodating cavity, wherein the socket body is connected to different card slots in the multi-level card slot to achieve depth adjustment of the socket body.

[0006] The wall socket proposed in the present disclosure is different from the background art in which the depth of the socket body is adjusted by the cooperation of the adjustment hole and the positioning shaft. Instead, the installation position of the socket body is adjusted by a multi-stage card slot, thereby adjusting the depth of the socket body, that is, the distance from the socket body to the surface of the installation panel. The depth adjustment structure based on the multi-stage card slot is simple to operate. In addition, the depth-adjustable wall socket based on the multi-stage card slot has a simple structure, convenient depth adjustment operation, easy replacement of faulty parts, and low manufacturing cost.

[0007] In an example of this embodiment, a recessed portion is formed on the surface of the mounting panel for plugging in and out of the plug.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present embodiment, the wall socket includes: a stopper, which is provided on a side of the accommodating cavity and is detachably connected to the mounting panel to stop the socket body in the accommodating cavity.

[0009] In an example of the present embodiment, a stop slot is provided on the side of the installation panel, and the stop portion is detachably connected to the installation panel by being inserted into the stop slot.

[0010] In an example of the present implementation, a buckle portion is provided on the stop portion, and the buckle portion cooperates with the multi-stage slot to achieve limiting.

[0011] In an example of this implementation manner, a concave wire trough is provided at the lower portion of the mounting panel.

[0012] In an example of this implementation manner, the insertion hole of the socket body is arranged at a position away from the wire groove.

[0013] In an example of the present implementation manner, a step structure is provided above the wire groove of the mounting panel, and the depth of the step structure is greater than the depth of the wire groove.

[0014] In an example of the present implementation manner, a convex edge is formed on the outer side of the socket body, and the convex edge is inserted into the multi-stage slot to realize the connection between the socket body and the installation panel.

[0015] In an example of the present embodiment, the socket body includes a shell and a socket core disposed in the shell, the shell includes a socket panel and a base that are snap-fitted to each other, and the convex edge is formed on the socket panel.

[0016] In an example of the present embodiment, an opening is provided on the stop portion near the buckle portion.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present embodiment, the wall socket includes a first stop portion and a second stop portion, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the accommodating cavity and are detachably connected to the mounting panel to stop the socket body in the accommodating cavity.

[0027] The present disclosure is further described in detail below by specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are intended to enable the present application to be better understood. However, those skilled in the art can easily recognize that some of the features can be omitted in different situations, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, and methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification, in order to avoid the core part of the present application being overwhelmed by too much description, and for those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail, and they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0028] The serial numbers of the components in this document, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a schematic structural diagram of a wall socket 10. The wall socket 10 includes a mounting panel 12, a socket body 14 and a stopper 16. Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the side structure of the wall socket 10 (the stopper 16 is hidden).

[0030] In actual application scenarios, the wall socket 10 of this embodiment can be installed as a whole in a dark box, the dark box is pre-buried in the wall, and the wall socket 10 is fixed to the dark box in the wall through the installation panel 12, so that the wall socket 10 can be fixed on the wall for use.

[0031] Specifically, a accommodating cavity 122 (i.e., an installation position formed by the inward depression of the installation panel 12) is opened on the installation panel 12, and a multi-stage card groove 124 is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 122. The socket body 14 is slidably connected to the multi-stage card groove 124 through the side of the accommodating cavity 122, wherein the connection between the socket body 14 and different card grooves in the multi-stage card groove 124 can realize the depth adjustment of the socket body 14 (i.e., the distance from the socket body 14 to the surface of the installation panel 12 can be changed); the stopper 16 is provided on the side of the accommodating cavity 122, and is detachably connected to the installation panel 12 to stop the socket body 14 in the accommodating cavity 122, that is, to fix the socket body 14 in the accommodating cavity to prevent the socket body 14 from slipping out of the accommodating cavity.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a mounting panel 12. A stopper slot 126 is provided on the side of the mounting panel 12, and the stopper 16 is detachably connected to the mounting panel 12 by being inserted into the stopper slot 126. In some examples, a stopper slot 126 is provided on one side of the mounting panel 12. In other examples, stopper slots 126 are provided on both sides of the mounting panel 12. Correspondingly, the wall socket may include two stopper portions, which are respectively provided on the two sides of the mounting panel 12. The socket body can be inserted into the multi-stage slot from any side of the mounting panel, and the assembly flexibility is higher.

[0033] In some examples, the stopper 16 is a baffle structure. In other examples, the stopper 16 can also be a rod structure or other structure that can play a stopping role. In some examples, the mounting panel 12 is an integrally formed structure.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a schematic diagram of the front structure of a mounting panel 12. A recessed portion 128 is formed on the surface of the mounting panel 12, and the recessed portion 128 is used for plugging and unplugging the plug. The recessed area can provide a larger operating space for the user to plug and unplug the plug, making it easier for the finger to plug and unplug the electrical plug, reducing the difficulty of plugging and unplugging the plug due to the certain depth of the socket body, and improving the user's operating experience. In some examples, the recessed portion 128 is a smooth curved surface.

[0035] In a preferred implementation of this embodiment, a wire groove 130 is provided at the lower part of the mounting panel 12, and the wire groove 130 is recessed to a certain depth relative to the surface of the mounting panel 12. When the plug is plugged in, the power cord of the plug is routed along the wire groove 130, which not only facilitates the fixing of the power cord position, but also improves the problem of power cord deformation caused by the depth difference. Furthermore, the jack on the socket body 14 is set in a direction opposite to the wire groove 130 (different from the conventional setting in the middle of the accommodating cavity 122), which increases the length of the power cord between the plug and the wire groove 130, which is also conducive to improving the problem of power cord deformation caused by the depth difference. Furthermore, a step structure 132 is provided above the wire groove 130 of the mounting panel 12 (a recessed design above the wire groove 130 forms the step structure 132), and the depth of the step structure 132 is greater than the depth of the wire groove 130 (i.e., the step structure 132 is farther from the surface of the mounting panel 12 than the wire groove 130), thereby further reducing the depth difference, improving the problem of power cord deformation caused by the depth difference, and avoiding the risk of the plug not being firmly inserted and the power cord being cracked due to excessive bending.

[0036] In some examples, a screw hole 134 is provided on the mounting panel 12, and the mounting panel 12 is fixed to the wall using screws through the screw hole 134, so that the wall socket is fixed to the wall for use. Figure 4Two screw holes are used as an example, but four screw holes can also be used, and the screw holes are symmetrically distributed on the installation panel 12.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, a schematic structural diagram of a socket body 14 is provided in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 for Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the front structure of the socket body 14. The socket body 14 forms a relatively independent overall modular structure. The socket body 14 includes a housing 142 and a socket core (not shown) disposed in the housing 142. The housing 142 includes a socket panel 1422 and a base 1424 that are mutually engaged, and a convex edge 1426 is formed on the socket panel 1422. The convex edge 1426 is inserted into the multi-stage card slot 124 to realize the sliding connection between the socket body 14 and the mounting panel 12.

[0038] The convex edge 1426 of the socket body 14 is adapted to the multi-level card slot 124 of the mounting panel 12, and the socket body 14 is mounted on the mounting panel 12, so that a certain depth difference is formed between the surface of the socket panel 1422 of the socket body 14 and the surface of the mounting panel 12. When the plug is inserted, the plug can be just in the accommodating cavity 122, thereby avoiding the problem of the plug protruding from the wall after being inserted into the socket.

[0039] The convex edge 1426 and the multi-level slot 124 form an adjustment structure that can adjust the embedding depth of the socket body 14. By selecting different gears of the adjustment structure (different levels of slots), the depth position of the socket body 14 in the accommodating cavity 122 can be adjusted to meet the needs of electrical plugs of different thicknesses and ensure that they do not protrude from the wall.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, a socket panel 1422 of the socket body 14 is provided with a socket 1428, and the socket 1428 is arranged at a position away from the wire groove 130, that is, the socket 1428 is not arranged in the center but is located at a position slightly above, which increases the length of the power cord between the plug and the wire groove, helps to improve the problem of power cord deformation caused by depth difference, and avoids the risk of the plug not being firmly inserted and the power cord being cracked due to excessive bending.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a schematic diagram of a structure of a stopper. The stopper 16 is a plate-like structure, and is detachably connected to the mounting panel 12 by being inserted into a stopper slot 126 provided on the side of the mounting panel 12. The stopper 16 is first removed before being inserted into the socket body 14, and then inserted into the multi-stage slot 124 of the mounting panel 12 that matches it after the socket body 14 is inserted.

[0042] In some examples, the outer surface of the stopper 16 is provided with a buckle portion 162, which cooperates with the multi-stage slot 124 to limit the stopper 16. The surface of the stopper 16 is provided with an anti-slip portion 164, which can increase the friction between the stopper and the user and facilitate installation and removal.

[0043] like Figure 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a structural schematic diagram of another stopper. The stopper 16 also includes a buckle portion 162 and an anti-slip portion 164, and the functions are similar to those described above, so they are not repeated here. Furthermore, the stopper 16 also includes an opening 166, which is arranged near the buckle portion 162. The design of the opening 166 can facilitate the deformation of the buckle portion 162 to achieve the buckle connection between the buckle portion and the slot 124, and is more convenient for multiple installation and disassembly of the stopper.
