Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of socket technology, and in particular to a waterproof socket with multiple water-resistant features. Background Technology

[0002] A power outlet is a common device in daily life. Its main function is to provide a power interface for various electrical devices. Inside the outlet are conductive metal contacts connected to the mains power supply via wires. When a device's plug is inserted, the plug's metal prongs contact the internal metal contacts, allowing electricity to flow. With the diversification of electrical devices and usage scenarios, power outlets are increasingly used in bathrooms, kitchens, and even outdoors. These environments are often humid, making waterproofing a crucial requirement. Waterproof outlets must be designed to prevent moisture from entering the outlet and contacting the internal metal contacts, thus preventing potential safety hazards.

[0003] like Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, Chinese invention patent application CN121484544A discloses a waterproof socket. The waterproof socket includes a housing 1 with a socket 1a. A socket module is disposed inside the housing 1. The socket module includes a base 2. A base frame 21 for installing protective doors 3 is disposed on the base 2. A pair of protective doors 3 are disposed on the base frame 21. An elastic reset member 4 is disposed between the protective doors 3 and the base frame 21. A sealing block 5 is disposed between the protective doors 3. An adhesive part is disposed on the inner side of the protective door 3. When the protective door 3 is closed, the adhesive part and the sealing block 5 are in contact to form a seal, thereby achieving a waterproof function.

[0004] However, this waterproof structure is quite complex. Compared to traditional sockets, existing waterproof sockets require many additional small components, which significantly increases the assembly difficulty during production and affects production efficiency. Furthermore, frequent plugging and unplugging during use can easily damage the structure of the protective door 3, and with prolonged use, the protective door 3 may lose its waterproof function due to aging.

When the water-blocking female connector is installed in the socket, the socket on the water-blocking female connector corresponds one-to-one with the socket hole on the socket. The water-blocking male connector includes a water-blocking cover plate, a water-blocking wall extending downward from the periphery of the water-blocking cover plate, and a plurality of water-blocking plugs extending downward from the lower surface of the water-blocking cover plate. The water-blocking plugs match the socket hole. The water-blocking male connector is adapted to cover the water-blocking female connector with the water-blocking plug inserted into the socket hole. When the water-blocking male connector covers the water-blocking female connector, it cooperates with the water-blocking female connector to form multiple water-blocking barriers, effectively preventing water vapor from entering the socket body through the socket hole.

[0009] Another objective of this invention is to provide a multi-layered waterproof socket, wherein the design of the water-blocking ring and the water-blocking wall satisfies the following: when the water-blocking male socket is placed on the water-blocking female socket, the water-blocking ring abuts against the water-blocking cover plate, and the water-blocking wall abuts against the bottom plate of the female socket. The water-blocking wall abuts against the bottom plate of the female socket, thereby sealing the socket hole within the enclosed area of ​​the water-blocking wall to form a first water-blocking barrier. The water-blocking ring abuts against the water-blocking cover plate, thereby sealing the corresponding socket hole within the enclosed area of ​​the water-blocking ring to form a second water-blocking barrier. A water-blocking plug is inserted into the socket hole to further prevent moisture from entering the socket hole, thereby forming a third water-blocking barrier. Thus, based on multiple water-blocking barriers, moisture is effectively prevented from entering the interior of the socket body.

[0010] Another objective of this invention is to provide a multi-layered waterproof socket, wherein the waterproofing of the multi-layered waterproof socket is achieved by the water-blocking female and the water-blocking male, eliminating the need for complex and cumbersome small accessories, and not increasing the assembly difficulty of the socket body during the production process. This is beneficial for ensuring production efficiency, controlling costs, and has significant commercial value.

[0011] Another objective of this invention is to provide a multi-layered waterproof socket, wherein the water-blocking female and male sockets are integrally formed, which not only achieves waterproofing of the socket but also ensures production efficiency.

[0013] Another objective of this invention is to provide a multi-layered waterproof socket, wherein the height of the water-blocking ring is higher than the height of the water-blocking wall, the water-blocking ring is made of an elastic material, and wherein when the water-blocking male socket is placed on the water-blocking female socket, the water-blocking ring is compressed by the water-blocking cover plate and undergoes elastic deformation, which helps to improve the fit between the water-blocking ring and the water-blocking cover plate and thus enhance the water-blocking effect.

[0014] Another objective of this invention is to provide a multi-layered waterproof socket, wherein the size of the water-blocking plug is larger than the size of the socket, the water-blocking plug is made of an elastic material, and during the process of inserting the water-blocking male socket into the socket body, the water-blocking plug is compressed and inserted into the socket, and is retained in the socket by interference due to elastic force, which helps to improve the fit between the water-blocking plug and the socket and thus improve the water-blocking effect.

[0015] Another objective of this invention is to provide a multi-layered waterproof socket, wherein the water-blocking plug extends sequentially downwards from the water-blocking cover plate with an upper thick section and a lower thin section. When the water-blocking male socket is placed on the water-blocking female socket, the lower thin section of the water-blocking plug is inserted into the socket hole, and the bottom end of the upper thick section abuts against the periphery of the socket hole. Thus, the upper thick section forms a water-blocking barrier within the water-blocking ring, and the lower thin section, inserted into the socket hole, prevents moisture from entering the socket body, forming another water-blocking barrier, thereby further improving the waterproof effect.

[0016] Another objective of this invention is to provide a multi-layered waterproof socket, wherein the socket has a mounting groove that matches the base plate of the female connector, and the water-blocking female connector is installed in the socket with the base plate of the female connector embedded in the mounting groove, which helps to improve the installation firmness of the water-blocking female connector and ensure the waterproof effect.

[0017] Another objective of this invention is to provide a multi-layered waterproof socket, wherein each of the sockets is provided with a protective ring that protrudes around each of the socket holes. When the water-blocking male socket covers the water-blocking female socket, the bottom end of the upper thicker section abuts against the protective ring to enhance the water-blocking effect. Furthermore, the protective ring and the mounting groove are provided such that when the female socket base plate is embedded in the mounting groove, each of the sockets surrounds the protective ring, thereby limiting the water-blocking female socket and improving the installation firmness of the water-blocking female socket.

[0018] Another objective of this invention is to provide a multi-layered waterproof socket, wherein at least one of the socket body's insertion positions is a five-hole insertion position combining a three-hole socket and a two-hole socket, corresponding to the insertion position including five holes. The water-blocking component also includes a double-plug water-blocking element, wherein the double-plug water-blocking element includes a top plate and a left water-blocking plug and a right water-blocking plug extending downward from the bottom surface of the top plate, wherein the left water-blocking plug and the right water-blocking plug are respectively matched to the neutral wire hole and the live wire hole of the three-hole socket of the insertion position. When the user uses the two-hole socket of the insertion position, the waterproof performance can be guaranteed based on the double-plug water-blocking element being inserted into the neutral wire hole and the live wire hole of the three-hole socket.

[0019] Another objective of this invention is to provide a multi-layered waterproof socket, wherein the double-plug water-blocking component is connected to the water-blocking male socket and can be flipped relative to the water-blocking male socket, thereby ensuring waterproof performance based on the double-plug water-blocking component being inserted into the neutral and live wire holes of the three-hole socket when the user uses the socket, and preventing the water-blocking male socket from being lost based on the connection relationship between the double-plug water-blocking component and the water-blocking male socket.

[0020] According to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a multi-layered water-resistant waterproof socket, wherein the multi-layered water-resistant waterproof socket comprises:

[0021] A socket body, wherein the socket body includes at least one socket position, and the socket position is provided with at least one hole; and

The socket position includes five holes. The water-blocking component matched with the socket position further includes a double-plug water-blocking member. The double-plug water-blocking member includes a top plate and a left water-blocking plug and a right water-blocking plug extending downward from the bottom surface of the top plate. The left water-blocking plug and the right water-blocking plug are respectively matched with the neutral wire hole and the live wire hole of the three-hole socket of the socket position.

[0030] In one embodiment, at least one of the socket positions of the socket body is a five-hole socket that combines a three-hole socket and a two-hole socket. The socket position includes five holes. The water-blocking male socket that matches the socket position includes a double-plug water-blocking element that can be flipped onto the water-blocking cover. The two water-blocking plugs of the neutral wire hole and the live wire hole of the three-hole socket that matches the socket position are disposed on the double-plug water-blocking element.

[0044] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0045] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this invention, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0046] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0047] This invention provides a multi-layered waterproof socket, which forms multiple water-blocking barriers to effectively prevent moisture from entering the socket. Furthermore, the multi-layered waterproof socket eliminates the need for complex and cumbersome small components inside the socket, avoiding increased production and assembly difficulties, and effectively prevents waterproofing failure due to component aging.

[0048] Specifically, refer to the accompanying drawings in the instruction manual. Figures 2 to 5 The multi-waterproof socket includes a socket body 10 and at least one water-blocking component 20. The socket body 10 includes at least one socket 11, and the socket 11 is provided with at least one socket hole 12. The number of water-blocking components 20 matches the number of sockets 11. Each water-blocking component 20 includes a water-blocking female socket 21 and a water-blocking male socket 22 that match each other. The water-blocking female socket 21 includes a female socket base plate 211, sockets 212 on the female socket base plate 211 with the same number of socket holes 12 as the corresponding sockets 11, and a water-blocking ring 213 that protrudes from the female socket base plate 211 around the sockets 212. The water-blocking female socket 21 is installed on the socket 11, and the water-blocking female socket 21 is installed on the socket 11. In state 1, the socket 212 on the water-blocking female connector 21 corresponds one-to-one with the socket 12 on the socket 11. The water-blocking male connector 22 includes a water-blocking cover plate 221, a water-blocking wall 222 extending downward from the periphery of the water-blocking cover plate 221, and a plurality of water-blocking plugs 223 extending downward from the lower surface of the water-blocking cover plate 221. The water-blocking plugs 223 are matched with the socket 12. The water-blocking male connector 22 is adapted to cover the water-blocking female connector 21 with the water-blocking plugs 223 inserted into the socket 12. When the water-blocking male connector 22 is covered above the water-blocking female connector 21, it cooperates with the water-blocking female connector 21 to form multiple water-blocking barriers, effectively preventing water vapor from entering the socket body 10 through the socket 12.

[0049] In detail, the design of the water-blocking ring 213 and the water-blocking wall 222 satisfies the following: when the water-blocking male seat 22 is covered by the water-blocking female seat 21, the water-blocking ring 213 abuts against the water-blocking cover plate 221, and the water-blocking wall 222 abuts against the female seat base plate 211. The water-blocking wall 222 abuts against the female seat base plate 221 to seal the socket 11's socket 12 within the enclosed area of ​​the water-blocking wall 222, forming a first water-blocking barrier. The water-blocking ring 213 abuts against the water-blocking cover plate 221 to seal the corresponding socket 12 within the enclosed area of ​​the water-blocking ring 213, forming a second water-blocking barrier. The water-blocking plug 223 is inserted into the socket 12 to further prevent water vapor from entering the socket 12, thus forming another water-blocking barrier. In this way, based on multiple water-blocking barriers, water vapor is effectively prevented from entering the interior of the socket body 10.

[0050] It is worth mentioning that the waterproofing of the multi-waterproof socket is achieved by the water-blocking female socket 21 and the water-blocking male socket 22, without the need for complex and cumbersome small accessories. This does not increase the assembly difficulty of the socket body 10 during the production process, which helps to ensure production efficiency, control costs, and has significant commercial value.

[0051] Furthermore, both the water-blocking female socket 21 and the water-blocking male socket 22 are integrally formed structures, which not only achieves waterproofing of the socket but also ensures production efficiency.

[0052] It is worth mentioning that the height of the water-blocking ring 213 is higher than the height of the water-blocking wall 222. The water-blocking ring 213 is made of elastic material. When the water-blocking male seat 22 is placed on the water-blocking female seat 21, the water-blocking ring 213 is squeezed by the water-blocking cover plate 221 and undergoes elastic deformation, which helps to improve the fit between the water-blocking ring 213 and the water-blocking cover plate 221 and thus improve the water-blocking effect.

[0053] It is also worth mentioning that when the corresponding plug is inserted into the socket body 10, based on the elastic deformation of the water-blocking ring 213, the water-blocking ring 213 can fit tightly against the end face of the plug, thereby forming a seal on the socket 12 surrounded by the water-blocking ring 213, preventing water vapor from contacting the plug pins and the inside of the socket body 10.

[0054] Specifically, refer to Figure 6As shown, the socket body 10 has metal plates 13 inside that correspond one-to-one with the sockets 12. When the corresponding plug is inserted into the socket 12, the prongs on the plug contact the metal plates 13 to achieve electrical connection. In this embodiment of the invention, the socket body 10 has a spring piece 14 inside that abuts against the metal plate 13 to increase the clamping force of the metal plate 13 on the corresponding prongs. When the plug is inserted into the socket 12, the water-blocking ring 213 is squeezed to make the water-blocking ring 213 fit tightly against the end face of the plug. The spring piece 14 ensures the clamping force of the metal plate 13 to prevent the water-blocking ring 213 from pushing the plug out, ensuring the tight fit between the water-blocking ring 213 and the end face of the plug, and ensuring the waterproof performance of the multi-waterproof socket during use.

[0055] It is worth mentioning that the socket body 10 also includes a power switch and an indicator light. The power switch, indicator light, wiring port and housing of the socket body 10 are all waterproofed to ensure the waterproof performance of the multi-waterproof socket.

[0056] Specifically, the size of the water-blocking plug 223 is larger than the size of the socket 12. The water-blocking plug 223 is made of elastic material. During the process of inserting the water-blocking male socket 22 into the socket body 10, the water-blocking plug 223 is compressed and inserted into the socket 12. It is also held in the socket 12 by interference due to the elastic force, which helps to improve the fit between the water-blocking plug 223 and the socket 12 and thus improve the water-blocking effect.

[0057] Preferably, in this embodiment of the invention, the water-blocking plug 223 extends downward from the water-blocking cover plate 221 in sequence with an upper thick section 2231 and a lower thin section 2232. When the water-blocking male seat 22 covers the water-blocking female seat 21, the lower thin section 2232 of the water-blocking plug 223 is inserted into the socket 12, and the bottom end of the upper thick section 2231 abuts against the periphery of the socket 12. Thus, a water-blocking barrier is formed within the water-blocking ring 213 based on the upper thick section 2231, and the lower thin section 2232 is inserted into the socket 12 to prevent moisture from entering the interior of the socket body 10, thereby forming another water-blocking barrier and further improving the waterproof effect.

[0058] Combination Figure 5As shown, when moisture is present on the exterior of the multi-layered waterproof socket, the moisture is first blocked by the first water-blocking barrier formed by the water-blocking wall 222 abutting against the base plate 211 of the female socket, making it difficult for the moisture to enter the enclosed area of ​​the water-blocking wall 222. Even if a very small amount of moisture enters the enclosed area of ​​the water-blocking wall 222, it will be blocked by the second water-blocking barrier formed by the water-blocking ring 213 abutting against the water-blocking cover 221, making it difficult for the moisture to enter the enclosed area of ​​the water-blocking ring 213. After this double blocking, it is practically impossible for any moisture to enter the socket 12. However, to ensure the safety of moisture... Completely isolated, the multi-layered waterproof socket further forms two waterproof barriers within the enclosed area of ​​the water-blocking ring 213 through the water-blocking plug 223. Even if a very small amount of water vapor further enters the enclosed area of ​​the water-blocking ring 213, the upper thick section 2231 of the water-blocking plug 223 can block the entrance of the socket 12, making it difficult for water vapor to enter the socket 12. Furthermore, even if water vapor further enters the socket 12, the lower thin section 2232 can isolate the water vapor based on the interference fit with the socket 12, effectively preventing water vapor from entering the interior of the socket body 10.

[0059] It is worth mentioning that the insertion position 11 has a mounting groove 111 that matches the base plate 211 of the female seat. The water-blocking female seat 21 is installed in the insertion position 11 with the base plate 211 of the female seat embedded in the mounting groove 111, which helps to improve the installation firmness of the water-blocking female seat 21 and ensure the waterproof effect.

[0060] Specifically, each of the insertion positions 11 is provided with a protective ring 112 protruding around each of the insertion holes 12. When the water-blocking male cover 22 is placed on the water-blocking female cover 21, the bottom end of the upper thick section 2231 abuts against the protective ring 112, thereby forming a water-blocking barrier that further seals the insertion hole 12 and improves the water-blocking effect.

[0061] It is worth mentioning that the mounting groove 111 and the protective ring 112 are provided such that when the mounting groove 111 is embedded in the base plate 211 of the female seat, each of the sockets 212 surrounds the protective ring 112. The protective ring 112 and the mounting groove 111 can form a positioning and limiting effect on the water-blocking female seat 21, thereby improving the installation firmness of the water-blocking female seat 21.

[0062] It is understood that the socket 11 can be a three-hole socket, a two-hole socket, a single-hole USB socket, or a combination of multiple types of sockets. The socket body 10 can be provided with one socket 11 or multiple sockets 11.

[0063] For example, in the illustration of this embodiment of the present invention, the number of the sockets 11 is two, and one of the sockets 11 is a five-hole socket with a combination of a three-hole socket and a two-hole socket. The socket 11 has five holes 12, wherein the combination of the three-hole socket and the two-hole socket means that the ground hole of the three-hole socket is located between the two holes of the two-hole socket.

[0064] It is worth mentioning that, to avoid the neutral and live wire holes of the three-hole socket being exposed when the two-hole socket is in use, refer to... Figure 4C As shown, the water-blocking assembly 20 further includes a double-plug water-blocking component 23, wherein the double-plug water-blocking component 23 includes a top plate 231 and a left water-blocking plug 232 and a right water-blocking plug 233 extending downward from the bottom surface of the top plate 231. The left water-blocking plug 232 and the right water-blocking plug 233 are respectively matched to the neutral wire hole and the live wire hole of the three-hole socket of the socket 11. Corresponding to the state when the user uses the two-hole socket of the socket 11, the waterproof performance can be guaranteed based on the double-plug water-blocking component 23 being inserted into the neutral wire hole and the live wire hole of the three-hole socket.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the water-blocking female socket 21 of the plug 11 matched with the composite arrangement includes three water-blocking rings 213, wherein two of the water-blocking rings 213 respectively surround the socket 212 corresponding to the neutral wire hole and the live wire hole of the three-hole socket of the plug 11, and the other water-blocking ring 213 surrounds the three sockets 212 corresponding to the ground hole of the two-hole socket and the three-hole socket of the plug 11, which is beneficial for waterproofing arrangement in the compact structure of the composite arrangement of three-hole socket and two-hole socket.

[0066] It is worth mentioning that, in some embodiments, reference Figure 7A and Figure 7BTo prevent the loss of accessories, the water-blocking male socket 22A of the plug 11 in the composite configuration includes a double-plug water-blocking element 23A that is flip-mounted on the water-blocking cover 221A. The two water-blocking plugs 223A of the water-blocking male socket 22A, which are matched with the neutral and live wire holes of the three-hole socket of the plug 11, are disposed on the double-plug water-blocking element 23A. Thus, when sealing each of the plug holes 12 of the plug 11 in the composite configuration, the double-plug water-blocking element 23A can be flipped to the position of the plug. Below the water cover 221A, when the two-hole socket of the composite socket 11 is used, the double-plug water-blocking member 23A can be flipped out of the water-blocking cover 221A, and the two water-blocking plugs 223A provided on the double-plug water-blocking member 23A can be inserted into the neutral wire hole and the live wire hole of the three-hole socket of the socket 11 to achieve a seal on the neutral wire hole and the live wire hole. At this time, the water-blocking cover 221A is connected to the double-plug water-blocking member 23A and will not detach from the socket body 10, thereby preventing the loss of accessories.
