[0002] Sockets are an essential part of every home decoration. Generally, sockets are installed at a height of about 0.3m, which is easy for children to touch. In addition, children have weak safety awareness, are curious and like to pick holes with their hands. Therefore, low-mounted sockets are their targets. They often touch the socket holes with their hands, and some even use foreign objects to poke the socket holes. If adults are not careful, electric shock accidents may occur.
[0003] The current safety sockets are sockets with safety doors, which can prevent young children's fingers from directly contacting the exposed metal sheets inside the socket and reduce some accidents. However, when a young child tries to poke the socket hole with a foreign object or the socket, with a little more force, the safety door can be pushed open, rendering it ineffective.
[0004] At present, sockets with safety doors are prone to failure and cannot completely prevent accidents. To prevent such phenomena from happening, some families will use socket protection covers to cover sockets that are easily touched by young children to prevent them from touching.

[0030] Example:
[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the locking state of the safety socket of the utility model; Figure 2 This is a back structural diagram of the panel of the utility model safety socket in the locked state; Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of the unlocked state of the safety socket of the utility model; Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of the back side of the panel of the safety socket of the utility model in the unlocked state.
[0032] A safety socket with a child lock function comprises a socket body 1 and a panel 2 installed on the front side of the socket body 1; the panel 2 is provided with a cover plate jack 5 for inserting an electrical plug; a connecting device 3 corresponding to the cover plate jack 5 is installed on the back side of the panel 2; the connecting device 3 comprises at least one guide groove 30, a spring 31 is installed in the guide groove 30, one end of the spring 31 is fixedly arranged at the end of the guide groove 30, and the other end of the spring 31 is connected to a safety door assembly 6; a groove 20 is formed on the front side of the panel 2, and a child lock assembly 4 for limiting the upward and downward movement of the safety door assembly 6 is assembled in the groove 20.
[0033] In this embodiment, the cover plate socket 5 includes a two-pin socket and a three-pin socket; correspondingly, two connecting devices 3 are provided, and the two connecting devices 3 correspond to the two-pin socket 5-1 and the three-pin socket 5-2 respectively, and the corresponding child lock components 4 are also provided with two, which can respectively control the child lock state and unlock state of the two-pin socket 5-1 and the three-pin socket 5-2; in this embodiment, two guide grooves 30 are provided, and the two guide grooves 30 are symmetrically arranged along the child lock component 4.
[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, it is a cross-sectional view of the safety door assembly 6 of the utility model; the safety door assembly 6 includes a safety door 60, a positioning rod 61 fixedly mounted on the safety door 60 and inserted into the spring 31, and the safety door 60 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 61 and formed as an integral unit; the structural strength and overall firmness of the entire safety door assembly 6 are improved, and the safety of use is further ensured, and the positioning rod 61 is inserted into the spring 31, so that the positioning rod 61 is also located in the guide groove 30, thereby driving the safety door 60 to move, thereby improving the sliding stability and safety of the safety door assembly 6.
[0035] The cross section of the safety door 60 is a triangular structure, and the thickness of the safety door 60 increases from the end away from the spring 31 to the end connected to the spring 31. With the above solution, in the initial state, no matter whether the child lock knob 40 rotates in the groove 20 in a vertical state or a horizontal state, the safety door 60 is always in a state of covering the cover plate plug hole 5 through the expansion and contraction of the spring 31. In this way, the child cannot unlock the socket by his own strength, and the safety door 60 cannot be pushed open smoothly, ensuring that the child cannot touch the metal sheet inside the socket, thereby ensuring the safety of the child. When we are When in use, the child lock knob 40 is rotated to a vertical state, and the child lock knob 40 is arranged corresponding to the limit groove 62. Then, when the plug is inserted into the cover plate socket 5, due to the triangular structure of the safety door 60, the horizontal thrust acting on the safety door 60 is converted into a vertical thrust, which compresses the spring 31. The gap of the safety door 60 can just pass the connecting device 3 of the child lock knob 40 in the vertical state, and the safety door 60 is completely pushed open until the cover plate socket 5 is exposed. The plug can be smoothly inserted into the socket and contact with the metal sheet, so that the plug can supply power to the electrical appliance.
[0036] A limiting groove 62 is formed on one side of the safety door 60 close to the child lock assembly 4; the child lock assembly 4 cooperates with the limiting groove 62 to unlock or lock the socket; the child lock assembly 4 includes a child lock knob 40, which rotates in a vertical or horizontal state in the groove 20; in the child lock position, the child lock knob 40 is in a horizontal direction, the limiting groove 62 abuts against the child lock knob 40, and the safety door 60 covers the cover plate socket 5; in the unlocking position, the child lock knob 40 is in a vertical direction, the limiting groove 62 is adapted to be engaged with the child lock knob 40, and the cover plate socket 5 and the safety door 60 are staggered up and down.
[0037] The inner diameter of the limiting groove 62 is greater than the width of the child lock knob 40 , so that when the child lock knob 40 is in a vertical direction (unlocked state), the child lock knob 40 and the limiting groove 62 are mutually engaged, and power can be supplied to the electrical appliance.
[0038] The inner diameter of the limiting groove 62 is smaller than the length of the child lock knob 40, so that when the child lock knob 40 is in a horizontal state (locked state), even if a child puts his hand into the cover plate socket 5, the child cannot unlock the socket by his own strength because the child lock knob 40 blocks the safety door 60 from sliding, and the safety door cannot be pushed open smoothly, thereby preventing electric shock accidents caused by accidental insertion of metal into the socket and eliminating safety hazards in electricity use.
[0039] The socket body 1 is surrounded by stepped positioning grooves, in which the panel 2 is assembled. The upper end surface of the panel 2 is on the same level as the upper end surface of the socket body 1; the upper end surface of the panel 2 is on the same level as the upper end surface of the child lock assembly 4; the aesthetics of the entire socket is improved.
