[0023] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0024] Referring to the accompanying drawings: this leakage protection socket includes a base box 1, an outer cover plate 2 and a socket mechanism 3, the socket mechanism 3 is arranged in the base box 1, the outer cover plate 2 covers the socket mechanism 3 and is combined with the base box 1, the socket mechanism 3 includes a universal structure seat 31, and a middle cover plate 32 combined with the universal structure seat 31, the universal structure seat 31 is clamped with a two-plug structure 4, a three-plug structure 5, a moving contact piece 6, a static contact piece 7, and a zero-sequence mutual inductor 9, and a movable reset component 8 is also clamped, the reset component 8 includes an integrally formed reset button 81, a reset rod 82, and two contact action blocks 83, the upper section of the reset button 81 is movably arranged on the outer cover plate 2, and the lower section is used to set the contact action block 83, the reset rod 82 is arranged on the bottom surface of the reset button 81 and moves in the universal structure seat 31, and the contact action block 83 is used to set the moving contact piece 6 so that the moving contact piece 6 and the static contact piece 7 are electrically contacted or de-energized through the reset rod 82. Contact contact block 83 is used to set the moving contact piece 6 so that the moving contact piece 6 and the static contact piece 7 are electrically contacted or de-energized. The principle of the present invention is that the reset assembly 8 is integrally formed, that is, the reset button 81, the reset rod 82 and the contact action block 83 are integrally formed. This structural setting makes the overall structure of the reset assembly 8 simpler and convenient to install.

[0025] The moving contact piece 6 is configured as a sheet-like component, the diameter of which is bent to form a longitudinal section 61, a bending section 62, and a transverse section 63. The longitudinal section 61 is clamped to the universal structure seat 31, the bending section 62 is inverted on the universal structure seat 31, and the transverse section 63 is arranged on the contact action block 83 and has a moving contact 63-a that contacts the static contact 71 of the static contact piece 7. Such a setting makes the moving contact piece 6 elastic, thereby eliminating the need for a spring and simplifying the installation setting, which is mainly achieved through the bending section 62, that is, the bending section 62 presents an arc configuration after bending, so that when the moving contact piece 6 is released from contact with the static contact piece 7, the transverse section 63 can follow the bending section The curvature change of 62 during bending causes an upward shape change, and a plug 31-a is provided in the universal structure seat 31, which matches the configuration of the initial shape of the bending section 62. The plug 31-a plays a supporting role at the bottom on the one hand, and a guiding role in the shape change on the other hand, which helps to reset the bending section 62. The longitudinal section 61 plays a fixing role, which is tightly matched with the card slot 31-b in the universal structure seat 31 to prevent the moving contact piece 6 from moving up as a whole and affecting the bending change when the moving contact piece 6 undergoes a bending change. The moving contact 63-a and the static contact 71 are used to provide sufficient contact area to ensure the stability of power supply.

[0026] The lower end of the contact action block 83 is provided with a slot 83-a for the transverse section 63 to pass through. Such a configuration enables the reset component 8 to control the shape change of the moving contact piece 6, that is, the bending section 62 is bent or reset under the movement of the reset component 8, thereby achieving energized contact or de-energized non-contact with the static contact piece 7.

[0027] The slot 83-a includes a semi-enclosing wall 83-a1 and an interlaced space 83-a2 defined within the semi-enclosing wall 83-a1 and allowing the transverse section 63 to pass through. The upper inner surface of the semi-enclosing wall 83-a1 serves as a pressing structure 83-a11 that keeps the static contact 71 and the moving contact 63-a in contact when power is on, and the lower inner surface serves as a lifting structure 83-a12 that releases the static contact 71 and the moving contact 63-a from contact when power is off. Such a setting not only meets the passing requirement of the transverse section 63, but also does not limit the width of the transverse section 63, that is, the semi-enclosing wall 83-a1 is used to make the slot 83-a have a side opening in the contact action block 83, and the side opening is used to make the transverse section 63 The portion of the lateral section 63 that is larger than the width of the slot 83-a can extend outward, and at the same time, the semi-enclosing wall 83-a1 also uses its own upper inner surface and lower inner surface as a downward pressure structure 83-a11 and a lifting structure 83-a12. The function of the downward pressure structure 83-a11 is to use the upper inner surface to contact the upper surface of the lateral section 63 when power is on, so as to press down the lateral section 63, thereby resetting the shape of the bending section 62. The function of the lifting structure 83-a12 is to use the lower inner surface to contact the lower surface of the lateral section 63 when power is off, so as to lift the lateral section 63, and at the same time cause the bending section 62 to bend so that the lateral section 63 is tilted upward.

[0028] The distance between the pressing structure 83-a11 and the lifting structure 83-a12 is greater than the thickness of the transverse section 63. Such a setting has a buffering effect, that is, it appropriately buffers the elastic strength of the spring set on the reset rod 82 during reset, thereby reducing the impact damage to the bending section 62, reducing fatigue strength, and extending service life.

[0029] The upper inner surface of the pressing structure 83-a11 and the lower inner surface of the lifting structure 83-a12 are both inclined surfaces inclined from the lower left to the upper right. Such an arrangement enables the bending angle of the transverse section 63 to be consistent with the inclination angle of the inclined surface of the lifting structure 83-a12 after the movable contact piece 6 is lifted and bent by the lifting structure 83-a12. In this way, when power is turned on, that is, when the pressing structure 83-a11 contacts the transverse section 63 (the inclination angles of the upper inner surface and the lower inner surface are consistent), they can fit with the surface of the transverse section 63 to achieve full contact, so that in the process of pressing the transverse section 63 down to contact the static contact point 71 of the static contact piece 7, the resetting effect of the bending section 62 is good.

[0030] An extension block 83-b is provided on the right side surface of the contact action block 83 to be combined with the downward pressing structure 83-a11. Such a setting is used to increase the contact area when the horizontal section 63 is pressed downward, so as to ensure the power-on stability of the moving contact piece 6 and the static contact piece 7, while also ensuring the resetting effect of the bending section 62.

[0031] The zero-sequence mutual inductor 9 is arranged at the center position of the universal structural seat 31 and is adjacent to the reset assembly 8. Such an arrangement enables the high-voltage line 101 and the signal line 102 to be fixed separately on the left and right, and no longer be arranged in parallel, so that the common mode / differential mode of the magnetic field generated after power-on will not interfere with the signal, reducing the interference of the high-voltage line 101 on the signal line 102. At the same time, the wires during wiring are shorter, saving more materials.

[0032] A first card slot 21, a second card slot 22, and a third card slot 23 for wiring are provided between the bottom and the side of the middle cover plate 32. The three card slots are all used for clamping the wires. Such a configuration makes it more convenient to clamp the wires 20, and at the same time, the wires 20 are fixed more orderly, the assembly is more convenient, and the wires are not easy to spread out.

[0033] Although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein within the scope of the claims.
