Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sockets, and in particular to a socket with a switch. Background Art

[0002] Socket, also known as power socket, switch socket. Socket refers to a seat into which one or more circuit wiring can be inserted, through which various wiring can be inserted.

[0003] This makes it easy to connect to other circuits. By connecting and disconnecting the line and the copper parts, the connection and disconnection of this part of the circuit can be finally achieved.

[0004] At present, the switch control of the American standard socket module is basically separated, that is, the switch and the socket are separated, and the switch controls the socket through internal wiring. For example, the Chinese patent "Switch Socket" with application number CN202110221843.4 discloses: the switch assembly (1) includes a switch housing (11), a button (12) and a conductive element (13), a part of the button (12) is located in the switch housing (11), and the other part is located outside the switch housing (11), and the conductive element (13) is located in the switch housing (11) and contacts a part of the button (12). By additionally setting a switch button to control the power input of the socket, there are problems of high cost, large size, and poor consumer experience.

[0005] In this regard, a rotary switch socket has been developed in the prior art. The Chinese patent "A Rotary Switch Socket" with application number CN202110221843.4 discloses: the rotating live copper sheet and the rotating neutral copper sheet rotate to separate or contact with the fixed live copper sheet and the fixed neutral copper sheet respectively, forming two gears of the switch for disconnecting or connecting the power supply. This switch control method, because it relies on the rotation of the rotating live copper sheet and the rotating neutral copper sheet, is prone to generate electric sparks during its rotation control, and the copper sheet wiring connection is easily loosened due to rotation, posing a large safety hazard. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a socket with a switch, comprising:

[0008] Socket body;

[0009] A rotary switch module rotatably mounted on the upper portion of the socket body;

[0010] A socket assembly fixedly mounted in the socket body, the socket assembly comprising a power receiving part and a power receiving part, the power receiving part is electrically connected to an external power source, and the power receiving part is used to provide an interface for the electrical device;

[0011] A conductive component, the upper part of which extends upward to form a movable end connected to the rotary switch module, a conductive end connected to the power receiving component is provided at the front end, and a mounting end is provided at the rear side; after the mounting end passes through a mounting wall of the socket body, the conductive end is pressed to abut against the power receiving component, and the rear end is movably mounted on the mounting wall;

[0012] Rotating the rotary switch module drives the movable end to swing around the conductive end, away from or close to the power receiving part, disconnecting or connecting the output circuit of the power receiving part and the power receiving part, thereby turning off or turning on the socket power supply.

[0013] This basic solution movably installs a rotary switch module on the socket body, thereby assisting the conductive component to perform rotational motion, driving the movable end to swing with the conductive end as the center, moving away from or approaching the power connection piece, disconnecting or connecting the output circuit of the power connection piece and the power receiving piece, and then turning off or turning on the socket power supply. The integrated structural design greatly reduces the volume of the product through integration, thereby effectively reducing the manufacturing and installation costs; the conductive component body is positioned in the movable cavity by the installation end, thereby assisting the conductive component to perform current conduction and disconnection control, which can provide a safer and more stable current conduction function, and further reduce the difficulty of product assembly, improve product stability, and ensure the safety of equipment power use.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the mounting end of the conductive component includes a pendulum spring and a spring cap, the front end of the pendulum spring is sleeved on the conductive end, and the rear end is sleeved on the spring cap; the front end of the spring cap passes through the mounting wall and abuts against the pendulum spring, and the rear end is limited and fixed on the mounting wall;

[0016] This solution uses the pendulum spring as the power core to continuously provide a pressing force to the conductive end, so that the conductive end always maintains a stable contact relationship with the power receiving component; at the same time, a spring cap is added as a positioning and installation structure, and a first limit block and a second limit block that cooperate with each other are designed. Combined with a through-type installation method, the pendulum spring can be quickly installed and work stably, effectively reducing the difficulty of product assembly and improving production efficiency.

[0017] In a further embodiment, the conductive component includes a switch pendulum, the front end of the switch pendulum is used as a conductive end to abut against the power receiving member, and the rear end is used as a movable end to be fixedly connected to the rotary switch module;

[0019] The conductive end faces one end of the power receiving component, and the two sides shrink toward the middle to form an inclined surface that abuts against the power receiving component; the inclined surface is also provided with a mounting buckle embedded in the power receiving component;

[0020] An end of the conductive end away from the power receiving member is provided with a positioning block protruding backwards, and the positioning block is sleeved with the pendulum spring;

[0021] After the mounting buckle is embedded in the power receiving component, the inclined surface abuts against the surface of the power receiving component under the action of the swing leaf spring.

[0022] The switch pendulum of this scheme has two sides of the front end that shrink toward the middle to form an inclined surface that abuts against the power receiving part. The inclined surface can better adapt to the swinging movement with the conductive end as the center, thereby optimizing the switch rotation experience; an outwardly protruding mounting buckle is added to the inclined surface, and the mounting buckle and the power receiving part are engaged to form a rotating axis, so that the switch pendulum always rotates along this axis, and the conductive connection part is stable and reliable. By achieving stable circuit connection of the conductive part of the switch, the safety and reliability of the socket can be achieved.

[0031] The mounting member is a U-shaped member installed downwards, and the middle of the lower part thereof is opened upwards to form an embedding opening, and the embedding opening is movably engaged with the movable end of the conductive component;

The socket protection door E1 and the protection door spring E2 are movably mounted on the top surface of the protection door bracket E3.

[0098] In this embodiment, a protective door module E is provided on the socket body A to prevent safety risks caused by accidental insertion, which can effectively prevent children from accidentally touching the socket and ensure the safety of household electricity use.

[0099] In this embodiment, the socket body A includes a panel 8 and a rear seat 9, the panel 8 is buckled with the protective door bracket E3, and the protective door bracket E3 and the rear seat 9 are covered up and down; the two ends of the back of the panel 8 are provided with upper buckles protruding downward, and the two sides are provided with upper buckles protruding downward, and the upper buckle position is a U-shaped card slot 43;

[0100] The two ends of the upper part of the protection door bracket E3 are provided with lower buckles protruding outward, and the two sides are provided with lower buckle grooves 43 recessed inward; the lower buckle is buckled with the upper buckle position, and the lower buckle groove 43 is buckled with the upper buckle.

[0101] In this embodiment, a display component F is also included, and the display component F includes an LED light board F1, a light guide F2, and a power-taking spring F3; the bottom of the power-taking spring F3 is sleeved on the power receiving component 2, and the upper part is in contact with the LED light board F1; the LED light board F1 is electrically connected to the power receiving component 2 through the power taking spring F3, and includes a plurality of LED lamp beads; the LED light board F1 is embedded with the light guide F2, and the middle part is opened to avoid the socket component C.

[0102] In this embodiment, a display component F is integrated on the socket, and a light source indication is realized by using an LED light board F1, so as to realize an intuitive display of the on and off status of the socket, thereby improving the user experience.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present invention, a rotary switch module B is movably installed on the socket body A, thereby assisting the conductive component to perform rotational motion, driving the movable end to swing with the conductive end as the center, moving away from or close to the power receiving part, disconnecting or connecting the output circuit of the power receiving part and the power receiving part 2, and then turning off or turning on the socket power supply. The integrated structural design greatly reduces the volume of the product through integration, thereby effectively reducing the manufacturing and installation costs; the conductive component body is positioned in the movable cavity by the installation end, thereby assisting the conductive component to perform current conduction and disconnection control, which can provide a safer and more stable current conduction function, and further reduce the difficulty of product assembly, improve product stability, and ensure the safety of equipment electricity use.

[0104] In this embodiment, the purpose of fastening the external power line is achieved by soldering, that is, the external power line is fixedly connected in the form of a welding wire.

[0105] Among them, the socket panel has 8 holes, including but not limited to the socket types shown in the accompanying drawings of the present invention, such as American standard, national standard, European standard, etc.

[0106] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , the switch control principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0107] Rotate the switch ring 7 clockwise, the switch ring 7 moves the switch swing piece, and under the action of the spring force, the swing piece is tightly in contact with the socket L-pole socket sleeve, and deflects a certain angle with the abutment line as the axis, the swing piece spring 3 deforms and stretches, and the spring force makes the switch swing piece 5 (rivet silver point D) and the L-pole static contact piece 1 (rivet silver point D) in close contact. At the same time, because the switch swing piece 5 is always in close contact with the socket L-pole socket sleeve 21, when the external power supply supplies power to the L-pole static contact piece 1, the external power supply makes the socket L-pole socket sleeve 21 conductive and charged through the L-pole static contact piece 1 and the L switch swing piece 5, realizing the circuit conduction. At this time, the load plug pin is inserted to realize the load power supply function;

[0108] Rotate the switch ring 7 counterclockwise, and the switch ring 7 moves the switch pendulum 5. Under the action of the spring force, the switch pendulum 5 is tightly abutted against the L-pole socket and deflected at a certain angle with the abutment line as the axis. The pendulum spring 3 is deformed and elongated, so that the switch pendulum 5 (riveted silver point D) and the L-pole static contact piece 1 (riveted silver point D) are separated. At this time, even if the external power line supplies power to the L-pole static contact piece 1, the L-pole socket 21 of the socket is powered off because the L-pole switch pendulum 5 and the L-pole static contact piece 1 are separated and disconnected, thereby cutting off the power to the load.

[0112] In this embodiment, a specific wiring terminal e and a wire-pressing screw f are used to mechanically fasten the external power line, that is, the wiring terminal e is fixedly connected in the form of terminal wiring.
