Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of socket technology, and in particular to a waterproof socket. Background Technology

[0002] Normally, electrical outlets should only be used in dry environments. However, in real-world situations, outlets may come into contact with water, such as in construction sites, outdoors, bathrooms, and kitchens. To ensure electrical safety in these environments, waterproof outlets are necessary.

[0003] Currently, existing waterproof sockets use sealing gaskets to seal the mating surface with the socket holes to achieve a waterproof effect. However, in reality, water can still remain inside the waterproof sockets, making them highly dangerous to use. Therefore, the waterproof performance of existing waterproof sockets is still insufficient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a waterproof socket that addresses the problem of insufficient waterproof performance in existing waterproof sockets.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the waterproof socket proposed in this invention includes a socket body, a sealing element, and a linkage mechanism. The socket body has a socket hole for inserting a plug pin. The sealing element is exposed outside the socket body. The linkage mechanism is located on the socket body and is configured such that when the plug pin is inserted into the socket hole, the sealing element is driven to move in the opposite direction of the plug pin insertion, so that the sealing element seals the insertion surface of the plug facing the socket body.

[0006] In some embodiments, the linkage mechanism has a transmission component capable of receiving the thrust of the pin, the transmission component being configured to convert the thrust of the pin into a reverse driving force acting on the seal under the action of the pin.

[0007] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a first transmission member and a second transmission member. The first transmission member is movably mounted inside the socket body and can be pushed by the pin. A portion of the structure of the second transmission member is drively connected to the first transmission member, and another portion of its structure is connected to the seal. The second transmission member is configured to convert the force of the first transmission member into a reverse driving force acting on the seal.

[0008] In some embodiments, both the first transmission member and the second transmission member have racks; the transmission assembly further includes gears that mesh with the first transmission member and the second transmission member respectively, and the gears are configured to transmit the linear driving force of the first transmission member to the second transmission member in the opposite direction.

[0009] In some embodiments, the linkage mechanism includes a force-receiving body disposed on the socket body and connected to the transmission assembly, the force-receiving body being configured to receive the thrust of the pin.

[0010] In some embodiments, a conductive element is installed inside the socket body; the force-bearing body is provided with a limiting hole corresponding to the socket, the conductive element is disposed in the limiting hole, and the conductive element is configured to contact the pin inserted into the socket; the force-bearing body is provided with a pressure-bearing block, the pressure-bearing block is disposed adjacent to the limiting hole and protrudes relatively from the two side walls of the limiting hole, so as to bear the thrust of the pin.

[0011] In some embodiments, the transmission components are located on opposite sides of the force-receiving body and are integral with the force-receiving body.

[0012] In some embodiments, the socket body is provided with a receiving cavity, which accommodates the transmission component and the force-receiving body; the inner wall of the receiving cavity corresponding to the transmission component is provided with a guide groove, which is used to guide the movement direction of the first transmission component and / or the movement direction of the second transmission component.

[0013] In some embodiments, two inner walls of the receiving cavity are provided with positioning frames protruding from them, the gear is rotatably mounted on the positioning frames, and the positioning frames avoid the force-bearing body, the first transmission member and the second transmission member; the two inner walls are also provided with positioning holes for the gear to pass through and enter from the outside of the socket body.

[0014] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the receiving cavity is provided with a guide rib protruding outward; a limit block is provided on one side of the force-bearing body protruding towards the guide rib, and the guide rib is provided with a stroke groove that restricts the movement direction of the limit block.

[0015] In some embodiments, the side of the seal facing the plug has a deformable portion, which is pushed by the linkage mechanism to abut against the insertion surface of the plug to compress and seal the insertion surface.

[0016] In some embodiments, the deformable portion includes an annular waterproof portion adapted to the outer periphery of the plug and a fitting portion that abuts the insertion surface, the fitting portion being connected to the annular waterproof portion.

[0017] In some embodiments, the seal has a water-retaining portion on the side facing the socket body, the water-retaining portion being connected to the annular waterproof portion or the fitting portion to seal the gap between the socket body and the plug.

[0018] In some embodiments, the socket body includes a faceplate and a base, the faceplate covering the base; the seal is exposed outside the faceplate.

[0019] In some embodiments, the seal is located on the side of the cover facing the plug and avoids the socket.

[0020] In some embodiments, the faceplate has a groove corresponding to the outer periphery of the plug, and the seal is disposed in the groove.

[0021] In some embodiments, the faceplate includes a connecting cover connected to the base and a socket protrusion for abutting the plug, the socket protrusion being disposed relative to the connecting cover, and a seal surrounding the outer periphery of the socket protrusion and having an annular waterproof portion adapted to the outer periphery of the plug.

[0022] In some embodiments, the connecting cover is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the seal; the connecting cover is also provided with a through hole for the second transmission member of the linkage mechanism to pass through, the through hole being located in the receiving groove and communicating with the receiving groove.

[0023] In some embodiments, the waterproof socket further includes an anti-disengagement mechanism disposed inside the socket body, the anti-disengagement mechanism being configured to abut against the pin inserted into the socket.

[0024] In some embodiments, the anti-disengagement mechanism and the force-receiving body are sequentially arranged inside the socket body along the direction of the insertion of the pin, and the transmission component is fixedly arranged on both sides opposite to the force-receiving body, avoiding the anti-disengagement mechanism and the pin.

[0025] In some embodiments, the socket body is equipped with a reset element, and the linkage mechanism is connected to the reset element; the reset element is configured to drive the seal to reset in the direction of insertion of the pin when the plug is pulled out.

[0026] In some embodiments, the reset element is an elastic element; one end of the elastic element abuts against the inner bottom wall of the socket body, and the other end abuts against the linkage mechanism. The elastic element is configured such that when the plug is pulled out, the elastic force drives the linkage mechanism to reset in the opposite direction of the insertion of the pin, thereby causing the sealing element to move in the direction of the insertion of the pin, so that the sealing element disengages from the abutment surface.

[0027] The technical solution of this invention adds a sealing element, which is exposed outside the socket body; and installs a linkage mechanism on the socket body. The linkage mechanism is configured such that when the pin is inserted into the socket hole, it drives the sealing element to move in the opposite direction of the pin insertion, so that the sealing element seals the plug facing the insertion surface of the socket body. With this configuration, when water splashes onto the plug, the sealing element seals the insertion surface of the plug, and the water on the plug is blocked at the sealing element, preventing water from flowing to the pin. This avoids the plug pin coming into contact with water and short-circuiting the internal components of the socket, thus improving the waterproof performance of the waterproof socket.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Additionally, the use of "and / or" or "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0047] Normally, electrical outlets should only be used in dry environments. However, in real-world situations, outlets may come into contact with water, such as in construction sites, outdoors, bathrooms, and kitchens. To ensure electrical safety in these environments, waterproof outlets are necessary.

[0048] Currently, existing waterproof sockets 100 use sealing gaskets to seal the mating surface 1102 of the socket with the socket hole 1101 to achieve waterproofing. However, in practice, water still exists inside the waterproof socket 100, resulting in a high electrical hazard. Therefore, the waterproof performance of existing waterproof sockets 100 is still insufficient. In view of the above technical problems, this invention proposes a waterproof socket 100. The converter provided by the embodiments of this disclosure will be described below by way of example.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the waterproof socket 100 includes a socket body 10, a sealing element 30, and a linkage mechanism 40. The socket body 10 is provided with a socket hole 1101 for inserting a plug 1011 into. The sealing element 30 is exposed outside the socket body 10. The linkage mechanism 40 is located in the socket body 10. The linkage mechanism 40 is configured such that when the plug 1011 is inserted into the socket hole 1101, the sealing element 30 is driven to move in the opposite direction of the insertion of the plug 1011, so that the sealing element 30 seals the abutment surface 1012 of the plug 101 facing the socket body 10.

[0050] During the process of inserting the pin 1011 into the socket body 10, the linkage mechanism 40 is triggered and begins to move to drive the seal 30 to move in the opposite direction of the insertion of the pin 1011.

[0051] The linkage mechanism 40 can be triggered mechanically. In one example, the linkage mechanism 40 includes two rack-and-pinion transmission components and a gear set. One transmission component bears the thrust of the pin 1011 being inserted into the socket body 10, and uses the received thrust to drive the gear set 423 to move in conjunction with the other transmission component. In another example, the linkage mechanism 40 can be a linkage assembly consisting of multiple connecting rods. Some connecting rods bear the thrust of the pin 1011, while the other connecting rods move in conjunction to drive the seal 30.

[0052] In addition, the linkage mechanism 40 can also be triggered by a detection device, which is used to sense the insertion of the pin 1011 and can trigger and control the movement of the linkage mechanism 40.

[0053] Furthermore, after the linkage mechanism 40 is triggered, a portion of its structure moves within the socket to drive the seal 30 to move. In some examples, a portion of the linkage mechanism 40 may include a guide rail and a slider. After the slider is triggered, it slides along the guide rail in the opposite direction to the insertion of the pin 1011, thereby driving the seal 30 to move. In other examples, a portion of the linkage mechanism 40 may also include a lever and a straight rod. One end of the lever is triggered and rotates, while the other end of the lever drives the straight rod to move in the opposite direction to the insertion of the pin 1011, thereby driving the seal 30 to move.

[0054] The technical solution of this invention adds a sealing element 30, which is exposed outside the socket body 10; and installs a linkage mechanism 40 on the socket body 10. The linkage mechanism 40 is configured such that when the pin 1011 is inserted into the socket hole 1101, it drives the sealing element 30 to move in the opposite direction of the insertion of the pin 1011, so that the sealing element 30 seals the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101 facing the socket body 10. With this configuration, when water splashes onto the plug 101, the sealing element 30 seals the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101, and the water on the plug 101 is blocked at the sealing element 30, preventing water from flowing to the pin 1011. This avoids the pin 1011 of the plug 101 from coming into contact with water and short-circuiting with the internal components of the socket, thus improving the waterproof performance of the waterproof socket 100.

[0055] In real life, rainwater will get on the plug 101. If the pin 1011 of the plug 101 is directly inserted into the socket 1101 of the existing waterproof socket 100, rainwater will often flow down the outer surface of the plug 101 to the pin 1011. This will cause the pin 1011 of the plug 101 to short-circuit with the internal components of the socket due to contact with water, rendering the waterproof socket 100 unusable.

[0056] To address this, the present invention employs a linkage mechanism 40 in the socket body 10. The linkage mechanism 40 drives the sealing member 30 in the opposite direction of the insertion of the pin 1011, so that the sealing member 30 fits against the mating surface 1012 of the sealing plug 101, thereby preventing water from entering the socket body 10 from the mating surface 1012 and causing electrical hazards, and improving waterproof performance.

[0057] Compared to conventional waterproofing of the socket body 10, this invention seals and waterproofs the insertion surface 1012 of the plug 101, thus better ensuring electrical safety after the plug 101 is inserted into the socket body 10. Furthermore, the linkage mechanism 40 can convert the force of the pin 1011 inserting into the socket body 10 into a reverse driving force that drives the sealing member 30 to move in the opposite direction of the pin 1011 insertion, effectively changing the direction of the force. This allows the waterproof socket 100 of this invention to achieve both effortless operation and excellent waterproof performance.

[0058] In some examples, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the linkage mechanism 40 has a transmission component 42 capable of receiving the thrust of the pin 1011. The transmission component 42 is configured to convert the thrust of the pin 1011 into a reverse driving force acting on the seal 30 under the action of the thrust of the pin 1011.

[0059] The thrust of the pin 1011 is the force that causes the pin 1011 to insert into the socket body 10. The reverse driving force acting on the seal 30 is the force that drives the seal 30 in the opposite direction of the insertion of the pin 1011.

[0060] In this assembly, a portion of the transmission component 42 is used to receive the thrust, while another portion is used to convert the direction of the force. In one example, the transmission component 42 includes two rack-and-pinion transmission members and a gear set 423. One transmission member receives the thrust of the pin 1011, and the gear set 423 and the other transmission member move in tandem to convert the thrust into a reverse driving force acting on the seal 30. In another example, the transmission component 42 may be a linkage assembly with multiple links, where one or more links receive the thrust of the pin 1011, and the other links convert the thrust into a reverse driving force acting on the seal 30.

[0061] In some examples, the transmission assembly 42 includes a first transmission member 421 and a second transmission member 422. The first transmission member 421 is movably mounted inside the socket body 10 and can be pushed by the pin 1011. Part of the structure of the second transmission member 422 is drively connected to the first transmission member 421, and another part of the structure is connected to the seal 30. The second transmission member 422 is configured to convert the force of the first transmission member 421 into a reverse driving force acting on the seal 30.

[0062] Optionally, the first transmission member 421 and the second transmission member 422 can slide up and down inside the socket body 10. The first transmission member 421 may be provided with a protrusion, which protrudes from the socket 1101 to receive the vertical insertion force of the pin 1011.

[0063] A conversion element can be installed between the second transmission element 422 and the first transmission element 421 to enable transmission connection between them. The conversion element can be a lever-type structure, such as a lever or a wheel with two legs. The middle part of the lever is rotatably mounted inside the socket body 10 via a pivot. The short arm of the lever contacts the first transmission element 421, and the long arm contacts the second transmission element 422.

[0064] The downward pressure of pin 1011 causes the first transmission component 421 to move downwards. The first transmission component 421 pushes the lever, causing the lever to rotate around its axis, which in turn causes the long arm of the lever to swing upwards. The swinging and lifting of the long arm of the lever pushes the second transmission component 422, causing it to move upwards, which in turn drives the seal 30 to move upwards. This lever-type conversion component has a simple structure. Furthermore, by adjusting the length of the lever's arms, the force of the first transmission component 421 can be amplified to that of the second transmission component 422.

[0065] The conversion component can be a gear set structure. The gear set structure can be a single gear or a gear set with a driving gear and a driven gear. In the case of a single gear, the two sides of the single gear are meshed with racks provided on the first transmission component 421 and the second transmission component 422, respectively.

[0066] The gear set structure is a gear set with a driving gear and a driven gear. The driven gear is nested outside the main gear. The driving gear is meshed with the rack provided on the first transmission member 421, and the driven gear is meshed with the rack provided on the second transmission member 422.

[0067] When the pin 1011 is pressed down, the rack on the first transmission component 421 moves vertically downward, driving the driving wheel to rotate clockwise; the driven wheel rotates synchronously with the driving wheel to push the rack B on the second transmission component 422 to move vertically upward, thereby driving the seal 30 to move upward.

[0068] The conversion component can convert the downward linear motion of the first transmission component 421 into the upward linear motion of the second transmission component 422, so that the vertical insertion force of the pin 1011 is converted into the driving force for pushing the seal 30 up and down through the transmission component 42. The insertion force of the pin 100 is used to counteract the gravity of the seal 30, thereby realizing the rising and sealing of the seal 30.

[0069] To achieve efficient conversion between two different vertical directions of motion while maintaining a compact layout, in one example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both the first transmission member 421 and the second transmission member 422 have racks, and the transmission assembly 42 also includes a gear 423. The gear 423 is meshed with the first transmission member 421 and the second transmission member 422 respectively. The gear 423 is configured to transmit the linear driving force of the first transmission member 421 to the second transmission member 422 in the opposite direction.

[0070] Specifically, the first transmission member 421 has a rack on the side facing the gear 423. Similarly, the second transmission member 422 has a rack on the side facing the gear 423. The first transmission member 421 moves in the direction of insertion of the pin 1011 due to the thrust of the pin 1011. During the movement of the first transmission member 421, the rack on the first transmission member 421 drives the gear 423, which is meshed with it, to rotate. The rotation of the gear 423 changes the direction of the force, so that the driving force exerted by the gear 423 on the second transmission member 422 is in the opposite direction to the insertion of the pin 1011.

[0071] The number of gears 423 can be one or more. When there is only one gear 423, both sides of the gear 423 are meshed with the first transmission member 421 and the second transmission member 422 respectively. When there are multiple gears 423, the multiple gears 423 may include a driving gear and at least one driven gear. The first transmission member 421 is meshed with the driving gear, and the second transmission member 422 is meshed with one of the driven gears.

[0072] The transmission assembly 42 can convert the thrust of the pin 1011 into a reverse driving force acting on the seal 30, achieving efficient conversion between two different vertical directions of movement. Thus, the present invention places the transmission assembly 42 within the narrow space of the socket body 10, achieving efficient conversion between two different vertical directions of movement while maintaining a compact layout.

[0073] Because electronic detection devices are prone to sensing errors, the linkage mechanism 40 cannot be triggered to move, and the seal 30 fails to move to the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101 to seal and waterproof during the process of the pin 1011 being inserted into the socket body 10. As a result, after the plug 101 is inserted into the waterproof socket 100, water on the plug 101 flows to the pin 1011, causing a short circuit between the pin 1011 and the components inside the socket body 10, and the waterproof socket 100 malfunctions.

[0074] Therefore, in order to ensure that the movement of the transmission component 42 within the linkage mechanism 40 is effectively triggered during the insertion of the pin 1011 into the socket body 10, in some examples, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the linkage mechanism 40 includes a force-receiving body 41, which is located on the socket body 10 and connected to the transmission assembly 42. The force-receiving body 41 is configured to receive the thrust of the pin 1011.

[0075] Specifically, the force-receiving body 41 is connected to the first transmission member 421 of the transmission assembly 42. The force-receiving body 41 is inside the socket body 10 and located below the socket 1101, so that after the pin 1011 is inserted into the socket 1101, the pin 1011 can press against the force-receiving body 41 and push the force-receiving body 41 to move, thereby driving the transmission assembly 42 to move through the force-receiving body 41.

[0076] During the insertion of the plug 1011 into the socket body 10, the plug 1011 can directly act on the force-bearing body 41 below the socket 1101, thereby avoiding the situation where the detection device fails to sense the problem. The force-bearing body 41 receives the thrust of the plug 1011 and uses the thrust of the plug 1011 to drive the transmission component 42 to move.

[0077] In some examples, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, a conductive element 13 is installed inside the socket body 10; the force-bearing body 41 is provided with a limiting hole 411, which is provided corresponding to the socket 1101; the conductive element 13 is provided in the limiting hole 411 and is configured to contact the pin 1011 inserted into the socket 1101; the force-bearing body 41 is provided with a pressure-bearing block 412, which is provided adjacent to the limiting hole 411 and protrudes from the two side walls of the limiting hole 411 to bear the thrust of the pin 1011.

[0078] The pin 1011 contacts the conductive element 13 within the socket body 10 to conduct electricity, thereby connecting the plug 101 to the waterproof socket 100. The conductive element 13 is a conductive spring. Two conductive elements 13 are provided, along with two limiting holes 411 on the force-bearing body 41. Each conductive element 13 is correspondingly positioned within one of the limiting holes 411, and each limiting hole 411 can limit the position of the conductive element 13, preventing it from tilting and ensuring that after the pin 1011 is inserted directly into the socket 1101, it contacts the conductive element 13 to conduct electricity.

[0079] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the pressure block 412 protrudes from the side of the force-bearing body 41 facing the insertion hole 1101, and the pressure block 412 is located on both sides of the limiting hole 411. Furthermore, the length of the long side of the cross-section of the pin 1011 is greater than the width of the limiting hole 411. When the pin 1011 is inserted into the insertion hole 1101 and reaches above the limiting hole 411, the pin 1011 abuts against the pressure blocks 412 on both sides of the limiting hole 411. As the pin 1011 continues to be inserted downwards, it pushes the force-bearing body 41 to move, and the force-bearing body 41 drives the transmission assembly 42 to move.

[0080] The conductive element 13 in the limiting hole 411 is exposed to the pressure block 412, and part of the structure of the conductive element 13 extends outward relative to the pressure block 412 to ensure that the conductive element 13 in the limiting hole 411 contacts the pin 1011 first, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the plug 101 and the waterproof socket 100.

[0081] This invention provides pressure-bearing blocks 412 that protrude upwards from both sides of the limiting hole 411 of the force-bearing body 41, with the pressure-bearing blocks 412 positioned below the socket 1101. This ensures the stability of the electrical connection between the plug 101 and the waterproof socket 100, while allowing the pressure-bearing blocks 412 to directly receive the thrust of the pin 1011. This thrust of the pin 1011 then triggers and drives the transmission assembly 42. Thus, it eliminates the need for complex linkage structures and elastic elements within the socket body 10, maximizing space utilization. By combining the movement of the pin 1011 with a simple structural design of the force-bearing body 41, the invention achieves the goal of receiving the thrust of the pin 1011 and triggering the movement of the transmission assembly 42.

[0082] To ensure that the downward thrust of the pin 1011 is transmitted to the transmission assembly 42 more quickly, the transmission assembly 42 is located on opposite sides of the force-receiving body 41 and is an integral part of the force-receiving body 41. Force-receiving body 41

[0083] Furthermore, the transmission components 42 are arranged on the left and right sides of the force-bearing body 41 respectively. The second transmission components 422 of the two transmission components 42 together push the seal 30 upward smoothly, thereby ensuring that the seal 30 can fit tightly with the insertion surface 1012 of the plug 101.

[0084] In order to guide the transmission assembly 42 to avoid skew during movement and ensure that the seal 30 is pushed to the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101, the socket body 10 is provided with a receiving cavity 120. The receiving cavity 120 is used to receive the transmission assembly 42 and the force-bearing body 41. The inner wall of the receiving cavity 120 corresponding to the transmission assembly 42 is provided with a guide groove 125. The guide groove 125 is used to guide the movement direction of the first transmission member 421 and / or the movement direction of the second transmission member 422.

[0085] Specifically, two guide grooves 125 are provided on each of the two opposite side walls of the receiving cavity 120. One guide groove 125 is used to guide the movement direction of the first transmission member 421, and the other guide groove 125 is used to guide the movement direction of the second transmission member 422, so that the transmission assembly 42 can move vertically up and down along the guide groove 125 without tilting.

[0086] In one example, the transmission assembly 42 is disposed on two opposing inner walls 121 of the receiving cavity 120; both inner walls 121 are provided with guide grooves 125, which are used to guide the movement direction of the first transmission member 421 and / or the second transmission member 422.

[0087] Two transmission components 42 are fixed on both sides of the force-bearing body 41, and slide on the two opposing inner walls 121 of the receiving cavity 120 to avoid affecting the space occupied at the center of the receiving cavity 120, and also to prevent the second transmission component 422 from occupying the space directly above the socket 1101, thereby ensuring that the plug 1011 is properly inserted into the socket body 10. Furthermore, the sealing component 30 is driven by the two transmission components 42, making the movement of the sealing component 30 more stable. This allows the sealing component 30 to fit tightly against the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101 when it moves to the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101, improving the waterproof effect.

[0088] Each of the two inner walls 121 of the receiving cavity 120 is provided with a guide groove 125. The guide groove 125 is used to guide the movement direction of the first transmission member 421 and / or the movement direction of the second transmission member 422, so as to avoid the second transmission member 422 from tilting during movement. Under the guidance of the guide groove 125, the second transmission member 422 can drive the sealing member 30 straight in the opposite direction of the insertion of the pin 1011, thereby ensuring that the sealing member 30 moves to the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101; and the second transmission member 422 can press the sealing member 30 against the plug 101 so that the sealing member 30 tightly seals the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101.

[0089] To facilitate the disassembly and assembly of gear 423, in some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, two inner walls 121 are provided with positioning frames 122 protruding from them. Gear 423 is rotatably mounted on the positioning frames 122. The positioning frames 122 avoid the force-bearing body 41, the first transmission member 421 and the second transmission member 422. The two inner walls 121 are also provided with positioning holes 123 for the gear 423 to pass through from the outside of the socket body 10.

[0090] The positioning hole 123 communicates with the outside, facilitating the installation and removal of the gear 423. Specifically, when the gear 423 needs to be installed, it is directly pressed into the positioning hole 123 so that the shaft of the gear 423 enters the rotating hole of the positioning frame 122, thereby allowing the gear 423 to mesh with the first transmission member 421 and the second transmission member 422 in the receiving cavity 120. This invention provides a positioning frame 122 on the inner wall 121 and also provides a positioning hole 123 communicating with the outside, facilitating the installation of the gear 423 while ensuring that the gear 423 can rotate on the positioning frame 122.

[0091] When gear 423 is severely worn due to long-term use, the shaft of gear 423 can be pushed out from the positioning bracket 122, and then gear 423 can be taken out from the positioning hole 123 to replace it with a new gear 423. The disassembly of gear 423 is relatively convenient.

[0092] In some examples, the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 120 is provided with a guide rib 124 protruding outward; a limit block 413 is provided on one side of the force-bearing body 41 protruding towards the guide rib 124, and the guide rib 124 is provided with a stroke groove 1241 that restricts the movement direction of the limit block 413.

[0093] The bottom wall of the receiving cavity 120 is provided with a guide rib 124 having a stroke groove 1241, so that the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 120 can not only support the force-bearing body 41, but also restrict the movement direction of the force-bearing body 41. There is no need to set up additional support structures, making the structure of the receiving cavity 120 more compact and space-saving. Moreover, only a limiting block 413 needs to be set on one side of the force-bearing body 41 corresponding to the stroke groove 1241 to complete the cooperation between the force-bearing body 41 and the stroke groove 1241. There is no need to add a complex slide rail and sliding block structure to the force-bearing body 41, making the structure of the force-bearing body 41 simple.

[0094] In order to ensure that the sealing member 30 abuts against and seals the insertion surface 1012 of the plug 101, the side of the sealing member 30 facing the plug 101 has a deformable part 31. The deformable part 31 is pushed by the linkage mechanism 40 to abut against the insertion surface 1012 of the plug 101, so as to compress and seal the insertion surface 1012.

[0095] The seal 30 is pushed and squeezed by the second transmission member 422. The deformable part 31 on the seal 30 can be deformed by the squeeze and can wrap and stick tightly to the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101, so as to prevent water from flowing from the surface of the plug 101 to the mating surface 1012 and then to the pin 1011, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the plug 101 and the waterproof socket 100, and thus ensuring the electrical safety of the plug 101 and the waterproof socket 100.

[0096] To further improve the waterproof performance of the plug 101 and the waterproof socket 100, the deformable part 31 includes an annular waterproof part 311 that is adapted to the outer periphery of the plug 101 and a fitting part 312 that fits against the mating surface 1012. The fitting part 312 is connected to the annular waterproof part 311.

[0097] The sealing element 30 is pushed and squeezed by the second transmission element 422, and the annular waterproof part 311 wraps around the outer periphery of the plug 101 to prevent water from flowing into the gap between the annular waterproof part 311 and the plug 101. The fitting part 312 of the sealing element 30 is tightly fitted to the mating surface 1012 to prevent water from flowing from the surface of the plug 101 to the mating surface 1012 and then to the pin 1011, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the plug 101 and the waterproof socket 100 and ensuring the electrical safety of the plug 101 and the waterproof socket 100.

[0098] To prevent water from entering the interior of the socket body 10 through the gaps, and to further improve the waterproof performance of the waterproof socket 100, such as... Figure 9 As shown, in some examples, the seal 30 has a water-blocking portion 32 on the side facing the socket body 10. The water-blocking portion 32 is connected to the annular waterproof portion 311 or the fitting portion 312 to seal the gap between the socket body 10 and the plug 101 in order to prevent water from entering the socket 1101 from the gap and then flowing into the receiving cavity 120.

[0099] The top of the water-blocking part 32 is connected to the annular waterproof part 311 to waterproof the socket body 10. The bottom of the water-blocking part 32 is connected to the second transmission member 422 as an integral structure, so that the movement of the second transmission member 422 directly drives the entire sealing member 30 to move.

[0100] In some examples, the socket body 10 includes a faceplate 11 and a base 12, with the faceplate 11 covering the base 12 and the seal 30 exposed outside the faceplate 11. When the seal 30 is pushed and squeezed by the second transmission member 422, the seal 30 can detach from the faceplate 11 and come into contact with the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101 to prevent water on the mating surface 1012 from flowing to the pin 1011 and to prevent water droplets on the mating surface 1012 from falling onto the faceplate 11.

[0101] Optionally, the seal 30 can be located on the side of the faceplate 11 facing the plug 101. Specifically, the seal 30 can be located on the surface of the faceplate 11 facing the plug 101, and avoids the socket 101 to prevent obstructing the insertion and conduction of the plug 101. The seal 30 is exposed relative to the faceplate 11 so that when the seal 30 is pushed and squeezed by the second transmission member 422, the seal 30 detaches from the surface of the faceplate 11, and the seal 30 is deformed by the compression to wrap around the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the plug 101.

[0102] Optionally, a groove can be provided on the cover 11, corresponding to the outer periphery of the plug 101. The sealing element (30) is placed in the groove, which houses the sealing element 30, which is exposed relative to the cover 11. When the sealing element 30 is pushed and squeezed by the second transmission member 422, the sealing element 30 disengages from the groove and adheres tightly to the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101 to improve the waterproof performance of the plug 101. After the plug 101 is pulled out, the sealing element 30 can fall back into the groove, preventing the sealing element 30 from being too abruptly placed on the cover 11 and preventing the sealing element 30 from obstructing the insertion and conduction of the plug 101.

[0103] To make the waterproof socket 100 more waterproof, the cover 11 includes a connecting cover 111 connected to the base 12 and a socket protrusion 110 for abutting against the plug 101. The socket protrusion 110 protrudes relative to the connecting cover 111. The sealing member 30 is surrounded by the socket protrusion 110 and has an annular waterproof part 311 adapted to the outer periphery of the plug 101.

[0104] Part of the structure of the seal 30 is arranged around the outer periphery of the socket protrusion 110, and another part of the structure is adapted to the outer periphery of the plug 101. The cross-section of the seal 30 is set in a stepped shape, so that the seal 30 can seal the plug 101 while sealing the gap between the socket protrusion 110 and the plug 101, thereby making the waterproof socket 100 more waterproof and improving the waterproof performance of the waterproof socket 100.

[0105] The connecting cover 111 and the base 12 can be connected by means of snap-fit ​​or clip-fit.

[0106] Further, such as Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the sealing element 30 is also provided with a water-blocking inner ring 313, which is adapted to the outer periphery of the socket protrusion 110 and is connected to the fitting part 312 to prevent water on the fitting part 110 or water on the insertion surface 1012 of the plug 101 from flowing onto the insertion surface 1102 of the socket protrusion 110.

[0107] The deformable portion 31 of the seal 30 is connected to the water-blocking portion 32. The seal 30 seals the gap between the plug 101 and the socket body 10 to prevent water from flowing into the socket through the gap. The deformable portion 31 is used to prevent water from flowing to the pin 1011, and the water-blocking portion 32 is used to prevent water from entering the socket protrusion 110's socket hole 1101 from the gap between the socket protrusion 110 and the plug 101. The waterproof socket 100 is more waterproof and its waterproof performance is improved.

[0108] Furthermore, the water-blocking part 32 can also be used to seal the receiving groove 112 to prevent water from entering the receiving cavity 120 through the perforation 113 in the receiving groove 112.

[0109] During the process of the seal 30 moving upward to the mating surface 1012, the water-blocking part 32 of the seal 30 always covers the outer periphery of the socket protrusion 110 to prevent water from entering the mating surface 1102 of the socket protrusion 110; and the water-blocking part 32 can block the receiving groove 112 to prevent water from flowing into the receiving cavity 120 from the receiving groove 112 or the perforation 113. Since the seal 30 not only seals the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101, but also seals the gap between the plug 101 and the socket protrusion 110 and seals the mating surface 1102 of the socket protrusion 110, it provides a more comprehensive waterproof seal for the waterproof socket 100, improves the waterproof performance of the waterproof socket 100, and ensures the electrical safety of the waterproof socket 100 after the plug 101 is inserted into the socket body 10.

[0110] In some examples, such as Figure 9 As shown, the connecting cover 111 has a receiving groove 112 for accommodating the sealing element 30; the connecting cover 111 also has a through hole 113 for the second transmission member 422 of the linkage mechanism 40 to pass through, the through hole 113 being located in and communicating with the receiving groove 112. The connecting cover 111 has a through hole 113 through which the second transmission member 422 passes and extends into the receiving cavity 120, to prevent the second transmission member 422 from being too prominently positioned outside the socket body 10; and the through hole 113 and the guide groove 125 in the receiving cavity 120 can be used to restrict the direction of movement of the second transmission member 422, to prevent the second transmission member 422 from tilting during movement. The through hole 113 is located in the receiving groove 112 to save space.

[0111] In some examples, the waterproof socket 100 also includes an anti-disengagement mechanism 20, which is located inside the socket body 10 and is configured to abut against a pin 1011 inserted into the socket 1101.

[0112] The anti-disengagement mechanism 20 is used to press the pin 1011 inserted into the socket 1101 against the socket body 10, so as to prevent the pin 1011 from coming loose from the socket body 10 when the plug 101 is pulled out without external force.

[0113] To ensure that the plug 101 is not easily pulled out after being inserted into the socket 1101, the anti-disconnection mechanism 20 and the force-bearing body 41 are arranged sequentially inside the socket body 10 along the direction of insertion of the pin 1011. The transmission component 42 is fixedly arranged on both sides opposite to the force-bearing body 41, and avoids the anti-disconnection mechanism 20 and the pin 1011.

[0114] The anti-detachment mechanism 20 can be an existing anti-detachment mechanism 20 found in sockets. The anti-detachment structure may include two rollers.

[0115] When the pin 1011 is inserted into the socket 1101, the two rollers in the anti-dislodgement mechanism 20 can use friction to press against the pin 1011, making it difficult for the plug 101 to be pulled out. At this time, the force-bearing body 41 is not pressed against by the pin 1011.

[0116] As the plug 101 continues to be inserted, the bottom surface of the pin 1011 contacts the pressure block 412 on the force-bearing body 41. At this time, the seal 30 is within the receiving groove 112, and the surface of the seal 30 is flush with the inner bottom wall of the receiving groove 112. There is a gap between the seal 30 and the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101. The gap between the seal 30 and the mating surface 1012 can be greater than or equal to 2 mm. The gap between the seal 30 and the mating surface 1012 can be less than 5 mm.

[0117] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when an external force is continuously applied to the plug 101, causing the pin 1011 to penetrate deeper into the socket body 10, the bottom end of the pin 1011 presses against the bearing block 412 and pushes the force-bearing body 41 down. The first transmission member 421 connected to the force-bearing body 41 moves down, and the gear 423 rotates clockwise to pull the second transmission member 422 up. The sealing member 30 connected to the second transmission member 422 moves up, and the sealing member 30 contacts the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101. The sealing member 30 is pressed by the second transmission member 422 and fits and seals the mating surface 1012 of the plug 101.

[0118] During the insertion of the plug 1011 into the socket body 10, the anti-dislodgement mechanism 20 remains in a state of pressing against the plug 1011 to prevent the plug 101 from moving upward. The sealing element 30 deforms under pressure and seals the insertion surface 1012 of the plug 101, thus achieving a waterproof effect.

[0119] In some examples, the socket body 10 is equipped with a reset member 14, and the linkage mechanism 40 is connected to the reset member 14; the reset member 14 is configured to drive the seal 30 to reset in the direction of insertion of the pin 1011 when the plug 101 is pulled out.

[0120] The reset element 14 can be disposed inside the base 12; the reset element 14 can also be disposed outside the base 12 and in contact with the force-bearing body 41. In some examples, the reset element 14 is a spring.

[0121] The reset member 14 is an elastic member; one end of the elastic member abuts against the inner bottom wall of the socket body 10, and the other end abuts against the linkage mechanism 40. The elastic member 14 is configured such that when the plug 101 is pulled out, the elastic force drives the linkage mechanism 40 to reset in the opposite direction of the insertion of the pin 1011, thereby causing the sealing member 30 to move in the direction of the insertion of the pin 1011, so that the sealing member 30 disengages from the abutment surface 1012.

[0122] Please refer to Figure 5 One end of the reset member 14 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the base 12, and the other end of the reset member 14 abuts against the bottom of the force-receiving body 41. The reset member 14 drives the transmission assembly 42 and the seal 30 to reset by resetting the force-receiving body 41. Specifically, when the plug 101 is pulled out, the reset member 14 uses its elastic force to drive the force-receiving body 41 to move upward, the first transmission member 421 connected to the force-receiving body 41 moves upward, the gear 423 is driven by the first transmission member 421 to rotate counterclockwise, and the gear 423 pulls the second transmission member 422 to move downward back to its original position, thereby causing the seal 30 connected to the second transmission member 422 to move downward and reset the seal 30 into the receiving groove 112.

[0123] The bottom of the force-bearing body 41 may be provided with a positioning protrusion, and one end of the reset member 14 is sleeved on the positioning protrusion, thereby positioning the reset member 14 between the force-bearing body 41 and the inner bottom wall of the base 12.

[0124] The number of reset members 14 is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0125] The assembly sequence of the waterproof socket 100 of the present invention is as follows: 1. The force-bearing body 41 is snapped into the base 12; 2. The anti-detachment mechanism 20 is installed in the receiving cavity 120; 3. The face cover 11 is snapped into the base 12; 4. The second transmission member 422 and the sealing member 30 are installed in the corresponding positions; 5. Gears 423 are installed on both sides of the base 12 to ensure that the gears 423 are meshed with the first transmission member 421 and the second transmission member 422.

[0126] Since the base 12 has positioning holes 123 on both sides, and the positioning holes 123 are connected to the outside, when the gear 423 needs to be installed, the gear 423 can be pressed directly into the positioning hole 123. The gear 423 is limited in the positioning frame 122 of the receiving cavity 120, and can then mesh with the first transmission member 421 and the second transmission member 422 in the receiving cavity 120.

[0127] The above are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the patent of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
