Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electric power supply, and in particular to a self-locking conductive component of a power socket and an automatic assembly line thereof. Background Art

[0002] A power socket is a device used to connect to the alternating current provided by the mains, so that household appliances and small portable devices can be powered on and used. A power socket is a female connector with a slot or a hole, which is used to allow a power plug with a rod-shaped or copper-plate-shaped protrusion to be inserted, and then the power is transmitted to the appliance through the conductive component inside the power socket; the conductive component is usually assembled from copper sheet materials, which have good conductivity and ductility. At present, with the improvement of people's requirements for electricity safety, the existing conductive components are usually equipped with a self-locking structure to prevent the copper sheet material from easily passing electricity to the power plug or metal objects.

[0003] The patent document with patent number CN104064918A discloses a self-locking safety power socket, which is mainly composed of a core body, a compression spring, a rotary ratchet self-locking mechanism, an upper shell and a lower shell. The core body has a plug hole, a current-carrying spring, a self-lubricating wedge block, a moving contact and a travel limit rod, and the compression spring is installed at the axial center of the core body. The core body can move up and down with restrictions along the axis. The rotary ratchet self-locking mechanism is composed of a rotating ratchet, a fixed ratchet, a central axis and an inner circular ratchet of the core body. After the plug is inserted, the core body can be unlocked to release it to an upward use state or locked to lock it in a standby state at the lower side by continuing to press or under the action of the compression spring elastic force. The present invention has the function of preventing the plug from being disengaged due to uncertain external forces during use, and preventing metal objects from accidentally being inserted into the plug, causing electric shock and power short circuit failures, and has high safety.

[0004] However, during actual use, the inventors found that after long-term use, some existing conductive components with self-locking functions are difficult to insert and unplug, inconvenient to use, and have poor connection stability after insertion. In addition, when the power plug is inserted and unlocked, electric sparks are likely to occur, posing a safety hazard during use. In addition, during the production process, the inventors found that some existing conductive components with self-locking functions have complex structures, are not easy to automatically produce and assemble, require manual assembly, and have low production efficiency.

[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Embodiment 1

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a self-locking conductive component of a power socket includes:

[0047] A plurality of mounting seats 1 arranged at positions corresponding to the sockets in the socket body, two first spring sheets 11 symmetrically arranged on the mounting seat 1 and located on both sides of the socket, a pushing member 2 slidably arranged on the mounting seat 1 and used to push the two first spring sheets 11 to open, two pressing members 3 slidably arranged on the mounting seat 1 and used to press the two first spring sheets 11 to close, a locking member 4 slidably arranged on the mounting seat 1 and used to lock the two first spring sheets 11 in an open state, and a second spring sheet 12 arranged at one end on the socket body and at the other end extending to a side of the pushing member 2 away from the first spring sheet 11 and used to connect the power supply line;

[0048] When the plug is inserted into between the two first spring sheets 11 through the insertion hole, the plug forces the locking member 4 and the pushing member 2 to slide away from the first spring sheets 11 , the pressing member 3 presses the two first spring sheets 11 to abut against the plug and the pushing member 2 , and the pushing member 2 abuts against the second spring sheet 12 .

[0049] In this embodiment, a pushing member 2 is provided to cooperate with a locking member 4 to lock the two first spring sheets 11 after they are stretched apart, thereby improving the stability of the first spring sheets 11 when they are opened, and facilitating the insertion and removal of the plug. When the plug is inserted between the two spring sheets, the pushing member 2 and the locking member 4 are forced to slide in a direction away from the first spring sheet 11. The first spring sheet 11 is clamped in the plug under the pressure of the pressing member 3, thereby improving the stability of the plug when connected. At the same time, the sliding pushing member 2 is able to abut against the second spring sheet 12 to supply power to the first spring sheet 11 and the plug in turn, thereby avoiding sparks at the plug and improving safety in use. The second spring sheet 12 suspended between the mounting base 1 and the socket body allows sparks to be suspended in the air when power is turned on, thereby further improving safety in use.

[0050] It should be noted that the first spring piece 11, the second spring piece 12 and the pusher 2 are all made of copper material, which has good conductivity and ductility. The mounting base 1 is made of high-strength plastic, which reduces the wear rate and deformation rate during use, improves the service life, and avoids large deformation during assembly, which affects the product yield.

[0051] Further, if Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the first spring piece 11 includes a spring piece body 111 of the connecting plug, a bending portion 113 formed at one end of the spring piece body 111 and bent in a direction away from the pushing member 2, an inserting portion 114 formed on the bending portion 113 and inserted into the connecting groove 13 on the mounting seat 1, and a clamping portion 115 formed on the inserting portion 114 and cooperating with the bending portion 113 to clamp the mounting seat 1.

[0052] In this embodiment, the bending portion 113 is deformed to facilitate the opening of the spring body 111 , and the pushing member 2 is cooperated to facilitate pushing the spring body 111 to open and the clamping portion 115 is cooperated to connect the plug portion 114 in the mounting seat 1 .

[0053] It should be noted that a guide portion 112 for guiding the insertion of the plug is formed at one end of the spring body 111 away from the bent portion 113 , so as to facilitate the insertion of the plug between the two spring bodies 111 .

[0054] Further, if Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the pushing member 2 includes a pushing block 21 slidably disposed on the mounting seat 1, two sliding inclined surfaces 22 respectively formed on the pushing block 21 and abutting against the two bending portions 113, two slide plates 23 disposed on the pushing block 21 and slidably connected to both sides of the slide groove 14 on the mounting seat 1, a limiting portion 24 formed on the slide plate 23 and used to limit the pushing block 21 from separating from the mounting seat 1, and a first elastic member 25 disposed on the mounting seat 1 and used to force the pushing block 21 to push the two spring sheet bodies 111 to open.

[0055] In this embodiment, two slide plates 23 are provided to be slidably connected to the slide groove 14 and cooperate with the limit portion 24 to realize the sliding connection between the push block 21 and the mounting seat 1. At the same time, the first elastic member 25 is used to enable the push block 21 to automatically force the spring body 111 to open through the cooperation between the sliding inclined surface 22 and the bending portion 113.

[0056] In detail, when the plug is inserted, the push block 21 slides in the direction away from the spring body 111, the bending portion 113 recovers its deformation, the spring body 111 closes, and the first elastic member 25 deforms at the same time; when the plug is pulled out, the first elastic member 25 recovers its deformation to force the push block 21 to move in the direction close to the spring body 111, and the sliding slope 22 pushes the bending portion 113 to deform, thereby forcing the spring body 111 to automatically open.

[0057] It should be noted that a positioning groove 26 for positioning the plug is provided on the pushing block 21 to prevent the plug from misaligning and causing jamming when pushing the pushing block 21 .

[0058] Further, if Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the pressing member 3 includes two mounting plates 31 respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting seat 1, a connecting portion 32 formed on the mounting plate 31 and used to connect the socket body, a pressing block 33 slidably arranged on the mounting plate 31, and a second elastic member 34 arranged on the mounting plate 31 and used to force the pressing block 33 to press the first spring sheet 11.

[0059] In this embodiment, the installation of the pressing member 3, the locking member 4, the mounting seat 1 and the socket body is achieved by setting a mounting plate 31 to cooperate with the connecting part 32. At the same time, the mounting plate 31 extends to both sides of the first spring piece 11, so that the pressing block 33 cooperates with the second elastic member 34 to better press the first spring piece 11, thereby improving the pressing effect.

[0060] It should be noted that the mounting plate 31 is made of steel material, which has higher structural strength, improves the service life and stability during use, and reduces production costs.

[0061] Further, if Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the locking member 4 includes a locking block 41 slidably disposed on the mounting plate 31, a pushing inclined surface 42 formed on the locking block 41 and / or the pressing block 33, and a third elastic member 43 disposed on the mounting plate 31 and used to force the locking block 41 to push the two pressing blocks 33 away from the first spring sheet 11 through the pushing inclined surface 42 and then slide between the two first spring sheets 11.

[0062] In this embodiment, the locking block 41 is provided to automatically lock with the third elastic member 43, and the pushing inclined surface 42 pushes the pressing block 33 to separate from the first elastic sheet 11, so that the locking block 41 can be locked after the pushing member 2 pushes the two first elastic sheets 11 to open.

[0063] In detail, when the plug is inserted, the plug first pushes the locking block 41 away from the first spring piece 11, and the pressing block 33 cooperates with the second elastic member 34 to press the first spring piece 11 until the plug pushes the pushing member 2 to move away from the first spring piece 11, and the pressing block 33 presses the first spring piece 11 to press the first spring piece 11 against the pushing member 2 and clamp the plug; when the plug is pulled out, the pushing member 2 first resets and pushes the first spring piece 11 to open initially, which is convenient for pulling out the plug, until the plug is separated from the locking block 41, and the third elastic member 43 restores its deformation to force the locking block 41 to reset and push the pressing block 33 to separate from the first spring piece 11 by pushing the inclined surface 42, and then the pushing member 2 further resets and pushes the first spring piece 11 to fully open, so that the locking block 41 can slide between the two first spring pieces 11 for locking.

[0064] It should be noted that there are two locking blocks 41 and both the locking block 41 and the pressing block 33 are provided with a pushing inclined surface 42, which improves the stability of the locking and the stability of the overall structure, and at the same time improves the smoothness of the sliding of the pushing and pressing block 33. In addition, the locking block 41 and / or the plug are provided with a rounded or chamfered guide structure, which facilitates the plug to push the locking block 41 away from the first spring sheet 11;

[0065] The first elastic member 25, the second elastic member 34 and the third elastic member 43 can be coil springs, leaf springs, etc., and both the elastic member and the installation method thereof are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

At the same time, during the installation process, after the first spring piece 11 and the pressing member 3 are clamped with the clamping component 91, the pushing component 92 is cooperated to detect whether the sliding is smooth and whether the installation is in place. After timely adjustment, the first spring piece 11, the pushing member 2, the pressing member 3 and the locking member 4 are finally fixed on the mounting seat 1 to improve the product yield.

[0071] In detail, when in use, first, the mounting seat 1 supported on the transmission mechanism 5 by the supporting mechanism 6 is transmitted to the first mounting mechanism 7, and the first mounting mechanism 7 inserts the first spring piece 11 into the connecting groove 13 of the mounting seat 1 and the slide plate 23 of the pushing member 2 into the slide groove 14 of the mounting seat 1; then, after the clamping assembly 91 clamps the first spring piece 11, the pushing assembly 92 pushes the pushing member 2 to slide.

If the sliding is not smooth, it can be timely modulated by the second mounting mechanism 8 until the pressing member 3 and the locking member 4 are installed on the mounting seat 1 after the sliding is smooth.

[0072] It should be noted that the second spring piece 12 is assembled with the socket body by rivets or bolts, and its connection and assembly method is the prior art. Correspondingly, its connection and assembly production line is the prior art, which is not drawn in the drawings and will not be described in detail here.

[0078] In this embodiment, by setting an extrusion block 751 to cooperate with the support block 752 and the first arc surface structure 753, the slide plate 23 can be bent outward to form a limiting portion 24 with a good bending effect. At the same time, with the assistance of the clamping portion and the second arc surface structure 754, the first spring sheet 11 can be bent outward to form a clamping portion 115 with a good bending effect, avoiding interference with the limiting portion 24.

[0079] In detail, when in use, the clamping claw 74 cooperates with the supporting seat 73 to clamp and support the pushing block 21. After the supporting block 752 moves with the extrusion block 751 and is inserted into the slide groove 14 to support the two slides 23, the extrusion block 751 cooperates with the first arc surface structure 753 to bend the slide 23 to form a limiting portion 24. After the clamping block 755 presses the bent portion 113 to limit the plug-in portion 114 in the connecting groove 13, the extrusion block 751 cooperates with the second arc surface structure 754 to bend the plug-in portion 114 to form a clamping portion 115.

[0080] It should be noted that when the connection portion 32 on the pressing member 3 needs to be formed by bending, a third arc surface structure 756 is formed on the extrusion block 751 for guiding the mounting plates 31 on the two pressing members 3 to bend outward to form the connection portion 32. Correspondingly, the pressing block 755 is also rotatably disposed on the conveying mechanism 5, and after adjusting the direction, it is used to press the pressing member 3 while limiting the bending angle of the connection portion 32.

[0081] The pressing member 3 is assembled with the mounting base 1 and the socket body by rivets or bolts, and its connection and assembly method is the prior art. Correspondingly, its connection and assembly production line is the prior art, which is not drawn in the accompanying drawings and will not be described in detail here.

[0082] Further, if Fig. 9 as well as Figure 14-15 As shown, the clamping assembly 91 includes a support frame 911 movably disposed in the conveying mechanism 5 and two sets of clamping plates 912 opened and closed on the support frame 911, and the two sets of clamping plates 912 are respectively used to clamp the two first spring sheets 11 and the two mounting plates 31 on the two pressing members 3;

[0083] The pushing assembly 92 includes a first telescopic rod 921 slidably disposed on the support frame 911 and used to push the pushing member 2 to slide between the two first spring sheets 11, a first sensor for detecting the thrust on the first telescopic rod 921, a second telescopic rod 922 disposed on the transmission mechanism 5 and having the same structure as the plug and used to be inserted between the two first spring sheets 11, and a second sensor for detecting the thrust on the second telescopic rod 922.

[0084] In this embodiment, the clamping of the first elastic sheet 11 and the mounting plate 31 is achieved by setting, and the pushing detection of the pushing member 2 and the locking member 4 is also achieved.

[0085] It should be noted that the support mechanism 6 can support two or more sets of mounting seats 1 at the same time. Correspondingly, the number of the second telescopic rods 922 is two or more, so that detection can be performed simultaneously to improve production efficiency. At the same time, two or more second telescopic rods 922 can simulate the state when the plug is inserted, further improving the accuracy of detection. In addition, a third telescopic frame 923 for mounting the second telescopic rods 922 is rotatably provided on the conveying mechanism 5, and the two second telescopic rods 922 are slidably mounted on the third telescopic frame 923. The two second telescopic rods 922 cooperate with each other to clamp the mounting seat 1, thereby enabling loading and unloading.

[0086] The first sensor and the second sensor themselves and the installation method are all existing technologies, which are not drawn in the drawings and will not be described in detail here.

[0087] Further, if Fig. 9 as well as Figure 16-17 As shown, the second installation mechanism 8 includes a second conveying assembly 81 disposed outside the conveying mechanism 5 and used for directionally conveying the assembled pressing member 3 and the locking member 4, a second telescopic frame 82 rotatably disposed on the conveying mechanism 5, and a plurality of support plates 83 movably disposed on the second telescopic frame 82 and opened and closed in the radial direction, and the support plates 83 are used to force the pressing block 33 on the pressing member 3 and the locking block 41 on the locking member 4 to separate from each other;

[0088] The supporting mechanism 6 includes two U-shaped plates 61 movably disposed on the conveying mechanism 5 and used for clamping the mounting seat 1 , and positioning plates 62 formed on both sides of the two U-shaped plates 61 and used for positioning the mounting plate 31 on the pressing member 3 .

[0089] In this embodiment, the U-shaped plate 61 is provided to cooperate with the positioning plate 62 to support the mounting seat 1 while positioning the mounting plate 31 transported by the second telescopic frame 82 in cooperation with the plurality of supporting plates 83 .

[0090] In detail, when in use, the second telescopic frame 82 rotates and telescopes to the second conveying assembly 81. After multiple support plates 83 extend between the locking block 41 and the pressing block 33, they move radially outward to support and stretch the locking block 41 and the pressing block 33, and then cooperate with the rotation and extension of the second telescopic frame 82 to allow the stretched locking block 41 and the pressing block 33 to be sleeved on the outside of the first spring plate 11 until the positioning plate 62 positions the mounting plate 31. Finally, after the clamping assembly 91 clamps the mounting plate 31, the telescopic frame is extended and retracted to pull out the support plate 83 to complete the installation.

[0091] It should be noted that the first conveying assembly 71 and the second conveying assembly 81 are both vertical conveying lines, which are used to convey the first spring piece 11, the pushing member 2, and the assembled pressing member 3 and the locking member 4 in a vertical direction toward the conveying mechanism 5. They themselves and their installation methods are both existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
