DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0042] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0043] Embodiment 1:
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a power plug, comprising: a plug base plate 1 and a plug cover plate 2 connected together, the plug base plate 1 is provided with three plug holes 11, and metal pins 3 are plugged into the plug holes 11.
[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the metal pin 3 includes a hollow outer shell 31, and the outer shell 31 includes a connected plug-in portion 311 and a wiring portion 312. An insertion hole 3121 is provided at one end of the wiring portion 312 away from the plug-in portion 311, and a solid terminal 32 is connected to the wiring portion 312 through the insertion hole 3121. A first threaded hole 321 is provided on the terminal 32, and a wiring screw 33 is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 321. The first threaded hole 321 extends from one end of the terminal 32 away from the plug-in portion 311 to one side of the plug-in portion 311. A first wiring hole 3122 is provided on one side of the wiring portion 312, and the first wiring hole 3122 passes through the wiring portion 312 and the terminal 32 and is connected to the first threaded hole 321. Thus, the wire is inserted from the first wiring hole 3122, and the wire passes through both sides of the first wiring hole 3122, and then one end of the wiring screw 33 is screwed into the first threaded hole 321, and the wire in the first wiring hole 3122 is pressed down to connect with the solid metal structure of the terminal 32 to ensure the connection effect of the wire.
[0046] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the solid terminal 32 may be in the shape of a cuboid, a cylinder, or other shapes are also within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, a limiting step 313 protruding inward is provided at the junction of the plug-in portion 311 and the wiring portion 312. When the terminal 32 is connected to the wiring portion 312, one end of the terminal 32 abuts against the limiting step 313. Therefore, when the terminal 32 is inserted into the wiring portion 312 from the insertion hole 3121, the terminal 32 moves toward the plug-in portion 311 inside the wiring portion 312. When the terminal 32 abuts against the limiting step 313, the terminal 32 can no longer move toward the plug-in portion 311. The limiting step 313 plays a limiting role in the insertion of the terminal 32.
[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, the plug base plate 1 is located above the plug hole 11 and is connected to the abutment plates 12 on both sides. The inner side of the abutment plates 12 is provided with positioning protrusions 121 extending along the plugging direction. The two sides of the wiring part 312 are provided with positioning grooves 3123 extending along the plugging direction. The positioning grooves 3123 and the first wiring hole 3122 are located on the side connected to the wiring part 312. Among them, the shapes of the positioning protrusions 121 and the positioning grooves 3123 can be diversified, as long as they can achieve sliding engagement. When the metal pin 3 is inserted into the plug hole 11, the positioning protrusions 121 and the positioning grooves 3123 match. In this way, when the metal pin 3 is inserted into the plug hole 11, the first wiring hole 3122 on the metal pin 3 avoids the abutment plates 12 on the plug base plate 1, and the operator does not need to lift the metal pin 3 before disassembling the power cord, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the power plug to a certain extent.
[0049] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, abutment protrusions 3124 are provided around the wiring portion 312 . When the metal plug pin 3 is inserted into the plug hole 11 , the abutment protrusions 3124 abut against the top of the plug hole 11 , which can limit the metal plug pin 3 when inserted into the plug hole 11 .
[0050] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, a threaded through hole 14 is provided on the plug base plate 1, and a second threaded hole 21 is provided on the plug cover plate 2 corresponding to the threaded through hole 14. After the plug base plate 1 is connected to the plug cover plate 2, a screw is inserted from one side of the threaded through hole 14 and threadedly connected in the second threaded hole 21 to complete the threaded connection of the diameter of the plug base plate 1 and the plug cover plate 2.
[0051] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the first sealing groove 13 is provided on the peripheral side walls of the plug base plate 1, and a sealing ring is connected in the first sealing groove 13. When the plug cover plate 2 is connected to the plug base plate 1, the inner peripheral wall of the plug cover plate 2 abuts against the sealing ring. Thus, the sealing performance of the connection between the plug base plate 1 and the plug cover plate 2 is improved.
[0052] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, a positioning column 22 is provided on the plug cover plate 2 corresponding to the plug hole 11, and a positioning hole 221 is provided on the positioning column 22. When the plug cover plate 2 is connected to the plug base plate 1, the top of the wiring screw 33 extends into the positioning hole 221, and one end of the positioning column 22 abuts against the upper end of the wiring portion 312. The positioning column 22 plays a role in positioning the metal pin 3 to prevent the metal pin 3 from moving up and down under force during use.
[0053] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, a first mounting groove is provided on the plug base plate 1, a sealing plate 15 is connected in the first mounting groove, and a second mounting groove is provided on the plug cover plate 2. When the plug cover plate 2 and the plug base plate 1 are connected together, one end of the sealing plate 15 is inserted into the second mounting groove, and a second wiring hole 151 is provided on the sealing plate 15 to facilitate the wires to extend into or out of the socket for wiring, and the diameter of the second wiring hole 151 is smaller than the diameter of the connected wires, thereby improving the sealing of the wiring.
[0054] like Fig. 9 As shown, a second waterproof groove 141 is provided on one side of the threaded through hole 14 away from the plug cover plate 2, and a sealing ring is connected in the second waterproof groove 141. Therefore, when the screw is threadedly connected in the threaded through hole 14, the outer peripheral wall of the screw abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the sealing ring, further improving the sealing between the plug base plate 1 and the plug cover plate 2.
[0055] like Fig. 9 As shown, a first waterproof groove 111 is provided on the inner wall of one end of the plug hole 11 away from the plug cover plate 2, and a sealing ring is provided in the first waterproof groove 111. When the metal plug pin 3 is plugged into the plug hole 11, the outer wall of the metal plug pin 3 abuts against the sealing ring, thereby ensuring the sealing of the connection between the metal plug pin 3 and the plug base plate 1.
[0056] Working principle: When in use, the metal pin 3 is inserted into the plug hole 11 on the plug base plate 1, so that the positioning groove 3123 on the wiring part 312 matches the positioning protrusion 121 on the abutment plate 12, and the abutment part on the wiring part 312 abuts against the top of the plug hole 11, so as to complete the connection between the metal pin 3 and the plug base plate 1, and then the wire is inserted into the second wiring hole 151 on the sealing plate 15 with a foreskin, and then the foreskin of the wire inserted into the plug base plate 1 is removed, and the wires are respectively inserted into the first wiring hole 3122 on the wiring part 312, and then the wiring screw hole is screwed in from the upper end of the first threaded hole 321, and the wire is pressed tightly against the solid structure terminal 32 at the lower end of the first threaded hole 321, and then the connecting screw is tightened, and finally the plug cover plate 2 is connected to the plug base plate 1, and the threaded through hole 14 and the second threaded hole 21 are connected by screws to complete the connection of the power socket.
[0057] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the present invention.
