[0010] Preferably, on the opposite sides of the two first sliders, there are fixedly connected first fixing rods. Between the two first fixing rods, there is fixedly connected a W-shaped block. Inside the base, there is fixedly connected a ground wire frame. Between the W-shaped block and the ground wire frame, there is fixedly connected a first spring. On the W-shaped block, there are two first inclined grooves.

[0011] Preferably, the downward sliding unit includes two second sliders that are slidably connected to the two guide rods on the side away from the first slider, the two second sliders are fixedly connected to the opposite sides with second fixed rods, an M-shaped card block is fixedly connected between the two second fixed rods, a second spring is fixedly connected between the M-shaped card block and the ground wire frame, and two second inclined grooves are provided on the M-shaped card block.

[0012] Preferably, both sides of the ground wire frame are fixedly connected with fixing plates, and two pressure sensors are fixedly connected to the two fixing plates.

[0013] Preferably, a first inner groove is provided on one side of the outer frame, and a second inner groove is provided on the other side of the outer frame, and one of the second sliding blocks is fixedly connected to another connecting rod on one side adjacent to one of the sliding grooves, and the two connecting rods are slidably connected to the inside of the two sliding grooves, one side of the connecting rod and located in the first inner groove is fixedly connected to one of the toothed plates, the first inner groove is rotatably connected to a first gear, the first inner groove is rotatably connected to a second gear on one side adjacent to a first gear, the other connecting rod is fixedly connected to another toothed plate on one side adjacent to the second inner groove, the second inner groove is rotatably connected to another first gear, and the second inner groove is rotatably connected to another second gear on one side adjacent to another first gear, and the base is rotatably connected to two double-headed screws, one of the double-headed screws is fixedly connected to a second gear, and the other double-headed screw is fixedly connected to the other second gear, one of the double-headed screws is threadedly sleeved with two first waterproof plates, and the other double-headed screw is threadedly sleeved with two second waterproof plates.

[0014] Preferably, a cover plate is fixedly connected to the outer frame, two first sockets are provided on the cover plate, three second sockets are provided on the cover plate, a night light is fixedly arranged on the top of the outer frame, two first indicator lights are fixedly arranged on the inner sides of the two first sockets, three second indicator lights are fixedly arranged on the inner sides of the three second sockets, and two touch sensors are fixedly arranged on the cover plate.

[0015] Preferably, the toothed plate and the first gear are meshed with each other, and the first gear and the second gear are meshed with each other.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. By setting up smart components, the position of the entire socket can be indicated in a dark environment through a night light to prevent the socket from being lost. When the touch sensor senses an operation, the first indicator light and the second indicator light can provide intelligent prompts for the power status of the corresponding socket and the hole position and other information, which is convenient for users to accurately identify and use the socket at night or in low light conditions. At the same time, it also provides users with certain lighting, improving the convenience and safety of use.

[0018] 2. By setting up the anti-mistouch component, the W-shaped card block in the upper sliding unit and the M-shaped card block in the lower sliding unit are in proper positions under the action of the first spring and the second spring in a normal state. When a foreign object attempts to insert into the socket hole, the foreign object will first contact the W-shaped card block or the M-shaped card block. Due to the special shape design of the W-shaped card block and the M-shaped card block, and their connection relationship with the guide rod, slider and other components, the external force exerted by the foreign object will cause the card block to move to a certain extent and compress the spring. However, the elastic force of the spring will prevent the card block from excessive displacement, thereby effectively blocking foreign objects from entering the socket and avoiding electric shock accidents.

[0019] 3. By setting up a waterproof component, the connection between the connecting rod and the slider and the toothed plate, as well as the transmission relationship between the toothed plate and the gear and the double-headed screw, can drive the movement of the waterproof plate when the slider moves. Specifically, when the first slider or the second slider slides on the guide rod, the connecting rod connected thereto will move accordingly, thereby driving the toothed plate to move in the first inner groove or the second inner groove. The toothed plate meshes with the first gear, and the first gear meshes with the second gear, thereby transmitting power to the double-headed screw. The rotation of the double-headed screw causes the first waterproof plate and the second waterproof plate threaded thereon to move along the axial direction of the screw, and finally cover the socket hole to form a waterproof barrier.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , a multifunctional socket for smart home, comprising: a smart component, an anti-mistouch component and a waterproof component;

[0032] The smart component is used to provide smart prompts for the socket jack, and the smart component includes an outer frame 1 and a base 2 fixedly connected to the inner part of the outer frame 1;

[0033] The anti-accidental touch component is used to protect the inside of the socket hole to prevent electric shock caused by the insertion of foreign objects. The anti-accidental touch component is composed of an upper sliding unit and a lower sliding unit. The upper sliding unit includes two guide rods 10 fixedly connected to the inside of the base 2 and two first sliders 11 that penetrate and slide and are connected to the same side of the two guide rods 10;

[0034] The waterproof component is used to waterproof the inside of the socket when the socket is not in use. The waterproof component includes a connecting rod 27 fixedly connected to a first slider 11 and two slide grooves 26 opened on the inner walls on both sides of the base 2;

[0035] The outer frame 1 is fixedly connected with a cover plate 3, on which two first jacks 4 are provided, and on which three second jacks 5 are provided. A night light 6 is fixedly provided on the top of the outer frame 1, two first indicator lights 7 are fixedly provided on the inner sides of the two first jacks 4, and three second indicator lights 8 are fixedly provided on the inner sides of the three second jacks 5. Two touch sensors 9 are fixedly provided on the cover plate 3;

[0036] In the embodiment, a night light 6 is fixedly provided on the top of the outer frame 1, and the night light 6 adopts energy-saving LED lamp beads with moderate brightness. In an environment with insufficient light, such as a bedroom at night or a dim corridor, the night light 6 can automatically sense the ambient light and turn on to provide users with soft lighting, which is convenient for users to quickly and accurately find the socket location and avoid misoperation or bumps caused by light problems. The touch sensor 9 adopts a highly sensitive capacitive sensor. When the user touches the touch sensor 9, the touch sensor 9 will quickly detect the touch signal and transmit the signal to the control circuit. The control circuit controls the corresponding first indicator light 7 or the second indicator light 8 to light up according to the signal instruction, so that the user can more intuitively understand the status of the touched jack, realize the intelligent interactive function, and improve the convenience of use. Compared with traditional button operation, this touch sensing method is more sensitive and durable, reduces the wear of mechanical parts, and extends the service life of the product;

[0037] Furthermore, the first indicator light 7 and the second indicator light 8 are both high-brightness, long-life LED lights, which are used to intelligently indicate the working status of the socket. When the corresponding socket is powered on, the indicator light will light up; when the socket fails or is not powered on, the indicator light will flash or go out. The user can intuitively understand the working status of the socket by observing the status of the indicator light, find problems in time and take corresponding measures.

[0038] Embodiment 2:

[0039] Reference Figure 2-Figure 7 Compared with the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the two first sliding blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides with the first fixing rods 12, a W-shaped clamping block 13 is fixedly connected between the two first fixing rods 12, a ground wire frame 17 is fixedly connected inside the base 2, a first spring 19 is fixedly connected between the W-shaped clamping block 13 and the ground wire frame 17, and two first inclined grooves 21 are provided on the W-shaped clamping block 13.

[0040] The downward sliding unit includes two second sliders 14 that are slidably connected to the two guide rods 10 on the side away from the first slider 11. The opposite sides of the two second sliders 14 are fixedly connected with second fixing rods 15. An M-shaped block 16 is fixedly connected between the two second fixing rods 15. A second spring 20 is fixedly connected between the M-shaped block 16 and the ground wire frame 17. Two second inclined grooves 22 are provided on the M-shaped block 16.

[0041] Both sides of the ground wire frame 17 are fixedly connected with fixing plates 18 , and two pressure sensors 23 are fixedly connected to the two fixing plates 18 .

[0042] In this embodiment, when a foreign object attempts to be inserted into one of the first jacks 4 through a single hole, the foreign object first contacts the W-shaped card block 13. Under the setting of the first inclined slot 21 and the initial elastic force of the first spring 19, it will be difficult for the W-shaped card block 13 to slide when inserted through a single hole. The power supply of the socket is controlled by the pressure sensor 23. Only when the W-shaped card block 13 presses down the pressure sensor 23, the inside of the socket will sense power, which greatly reduces the risk of electric shock to young children. The design of the first inclined slot 21 enables the W-shaped card block 13 to better disperse the insertion force of the foreign object during movement, while ensuring the smoothness and stability of its movement when the plug is normally inserted. The above effects can effectively prevent foreign objects from being inserted into the socket hole and avoid electric shock accidents. For families with children, this anti-mistaken touch design can well protect the safety of children and prevent them from inserting fingers or small objects into the jack out of curiosity, which may cause danger.

[0043] In addition, the principle of the downward unit protection is the same as the principle of the upward unit protection against electric shock. This anti-accidental touch protection function is particularly important for families with children or public places. Children are curious and may insert their fingers, metal objects, etc. directly into the socket hole. The anti-accidental touch component of the socket can effectively prevent such dangerous behavior in a timely manner and protect the lives of children. In public places such as schools and libraries, it can also prevent safety accidents caused by misoperation or deliberate damage by others, ensuring the normal operation of public facilities and the safety of personnel.

[0044] Embodiment three:

[0045] Reference Figure 3-Figure 8Compared with the first embodiment and the second embodiment, in this embodiment, a first inner groove 24 is provided on one side of the outer frame 1, and a second inner groove 25 is provided on the other side of the outer frame 1. A second slider 14 is fixedly connected to another connecting rod 27 on one side adjacent to one of the sliding grooves 26. Both connecting rods 27 are slidably connected inside the two sliding grooves 26. One side of a connecting rod 27 and located inside the first inner groove 24 is fixedly connected to one of the tooth plates 28. A first gear 29 is rotatably connected inside the first inner groove 24. A second gear 30 is rotatably connected inside the first inner groove 24 on one side adjacent to one of the first gears 29. Another connecting rod 27 is fixedly connected to the first inner groove 24. Another tooth plate 28 is fixedly connected to one side of 27 and located inside the second inner groove 25, the inside of the second inner groove 25 is rotatably connected to another first gear 29, and the side of the second inner groove 25 adjacent to the other first gear 29 is rotatably connected to another second gear 30, and the inside of the base 2 is rotatably connected to two double-headed screws 31, one double-headed screw 31 is fixedly connected to one second gear 30, and the other double-headed screw 31 is fixedly connected to the other second gear 30, one double-headed screw 31 is threadedly sleeved with two first waterproof plates 32, and the other double-headed screw 31 is threadedly sleeved with two second waterproof plates 33.

[0046] The toothed plate 28 and the first gear 29 are meshed with each other, and the first gear 29 and the second gear 30 are meshed with each other.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the socket is not in use, the initial elastic force of the first spring 19 and the second spring 20 pushes the first block 13 and the second block 16 to slide upward and downward, respectively, and at this time, the connecting rod 27 drives the tooth plate 28 to move upward and downward. The tooth plate 28 is meshed with the first gear 29, and the linear motion of the tooth plate 28 is converted into the rotational motion of the first gear 29. The first gear 29 then drives the second gear 30 to rotate, thereby rotating the double-headed screw 31 fixedly connected to the second gear 30. The rotation of the double-headed screw 31 causes the first waterproof plate 32 and the second waterproof plate 33 threaded thereon to move along the axial direction of the screw. Since the thread directions of the two ends of the double-headed screw 31 are opposite, the two first waterproof plates 32 or the two second waterproof plates 33 will move toward each other, and finally cover the first socket 4 and the second socket 5 to form a tight waterproof barrier. This waterproof design can effectively prevent moisture from entering the inside of the socket. For places that are often in a humid environment, such as kitchens, bathrooms, etc., it can protect the circuits and components inside the socket from water erosion, extend the service life of the socket, and reduce failures and safety hazards caused by moisture.

[0048] Furthermore, when the plug slides down and is inserted along the first inclined groove 21 and the second inclined groove 22, the plug pushes the first slider 11 or the second slider 14 to slide toward the middle at the same time, and at this time, the connecting rod 27 drives the tooth plate 28 to move toward the middle. The tooth plate 28 is meshed with the first gear 29, and the linear motion of the tooth plate 28 is converted into the rotational motion of the first gear 29. The first gear 29 then drives the second gear 30 to rotate, thereby causing the double-headed screw 31 fixedly connected to the second gear 30 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the double-headed screw 31 causes the first waterproof plate 32 and the second waterproof plate 33 threadedly sleeved thereon to move outward along the screw shaft. Since the thread directions of the two ends of the double-headed screw 31 are opposite, the two first waterproof plates 32 or the two second waterproof plates 33 will move in the opposite direction, and finally slide open to reveal the jack positions of the first jack 4 and the second jack 5, and then automatically open the first waterproof plate 32 and the second waterproof plate 33 when the plug needs to be inserted into the socket.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
