[0002] Electrical module sockets are an indispensable part of the home. To ensure safe use, high requirements are placed on their safety.

[0003] Currently, most modular sockets do not have a waterproof function. In areas that are easily exposed to water, water may easily enter and cause electric shock. In order to achieve the waterproof effect, most of the waterproof methods adopted are to wear a waterproof box. The purpose of the waterproof box is to prevent liquid water from directly contacting the conductor inside the switch socket, causing overload or leakage.

[0004] However, the waterproof box needs to be opened each time it is used, which is very inconvenient; at the same time, when connected and used, since the waterproof box is in an open state, water can still easily enter the socket from the connection in areas with a lot of water such as bathrooms, toilets, and laundry rooms, and an effective waterproof effect cannot be achieved.

When connected for use, the waterproof rubber sleeve will tightly wrap and seal the plug at the insertion seam, thereby achieving a waterproof effect. When connected for use, the sealed cavity is squeezed, so that the internal pressure is greater than the external pressure, so that water vapor is not easy to enter the sealed cavity from the outside, further achieving a waterproof effect, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a flexible waterproof module socket, comprising a socket body, a socket body having a plug hole, a waterproof rubber sleeve for sealing the plug hole is mounted on the socket body, and the waterproof rubber sleeve is made of an elastic and resilient material; the waterproof rubber sleeve is provided with insertion slots corresponding to the plug holes one by one, the insertion slots are in a tightly sealed state under the elastic action of the waterproof rubber sleeve itself, and a sealed cavity is formed in the waterproof rubber sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, the jacks are arranged in two groups, a partition portion is provided in the waterproof rubber sleeve for separating the two groups of the jacks, and a slot corresponding to the partition portion is provided on the socket body.

[0008] Preferably, the waterproof rubber sleeve is provided with an edge extending outward, and the socket body is provided with an annular groove corresponding to the edge.

[0009] Preferably, a screw hole is provided in the annular groove, and the edge is fixed to the socket body by a plurality of screws equally divided around the center.

[0010] Preferably, a washer is provided between the screw and the edge, and the screw is a cross countersunk screw.

[0011] Preferably, a desiccant is contained in the waterproof rubber sleeve.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] 1. Before use, the waterproof rubber sleeve will seal the jack to make it waterproof.

[0014] 2. When connected and used, the waterproof rubber sleeve will tightly wrap and seal the plug at the seam, thereby achieving a waterproof effect.

[0015] 3. When connected and used, the sealed cavity is squeezed so that the internal pressure is greater than the external pressure, so that water vapor is not easy to enter the sealed cavity from the outside, further achieving a waterproof effect.

[0016] 4. The desiccant in the sealed cavity also makes it easy to keep the socket in a dry environment and enhance waterproofing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] See also Figure 1-5The utility model provides a flexible waterproof module socket, including a socket body 1, a socket body 1 is provided with a socket 2, a waterproof rubber sleeve 3 is installed on the socket body 1 to seal the socket 2, and the waterproof rubber sleeve 3 is made of elastic and resilient material; the waterproof rubber sleeve 3 is provided with an insertion slot 4 corresponding to the socket 2, and the insertion slot 4 is in a tightly sealed state under the elastic action of the waterproof rubber sleeve 3 itself, and a sealed cavity 5 is formed in the waterproof rubber sleeve 3; before use, the waterproof rubber sleeve 3 seals the socket 2 to form waterproof; when in use, the plug is inserted into the socket 2 through the insertion slot 4, which presses the waterproof rubber sleeve 3, thereby squeezing the corresponding sealed cavity 5. When connected for use, the waterproof rubber sleeve 3, under the action of its own elasticity, will tightly wrap and seal the plug at the insertion slot 4, thereby achieving a waterproof effect; at the same time, because the sealed cavity 5 corresponding to the plug is squeezed, the internal pressure is greater than the external pressure, so that water vapor is not easy to enter the sealed cavity 5 from the outside, further achieving a waterproof effect.

[0025] Specifically, the jacks 2 are arranged in two groups, a partition 6 is provided in the waterproof rubber sleeve 3 to separate the two groups of jacks 2, and a card slot 7 corresponding to the partition 6 is provided on the socket body 1; in this embodiment, the corresponding sealed cavity 5 is squeezed by inserting the plug, and the squeezing pressure will not be discharged from the other group of insertion slots 4, so that it is easy to maintain the high-pressure environment of the sealed cavity 5 corresponding to the plug, thereby achieving waterproofing.

[0026] Specifically, the waterproof rubber sleeve 3 is provided with an edge 8 extending outward, and the socket body 1 is provided with an annular groove 9 corresponding to the edge 8; in this embodiment, the edge 8 is stuck in the annular groove 9 to improve the stability of the connection between the waterproof rubber sleeve 3 and the socket body 1.

[0027] Specifically, a screw hole is provided in the annular groove 9, and the edge 8 is fixed to the socket body 1 by a plurality of screws 10 equally divided around the center; in this embodiment, the detachable screws 10 facilitate the installation and removal of the waterproof rubber sleeve 3 on the socket body 1.

[0028] Specifically, a washer 11 is provided between the screw 10 and the edge 8, and the screw 10 is a cross countersunk screw. In the present embodiment, the edge 8 is fixed by means of the screw 10 in cooperation with the washer 11 to improve the sealing performance of the connection between the waterproof rubber sleeve 3 and the socket body 1. At the same time, the design of the cross countersunk screw makes the screw 10 not easily touched and more stable.

[0029] Specifically, the waterproof rubber sleeve 3 contains a desiccant 12; in this embodiment, the desiccant 12 in the sealed cavity 5 is also easy to keep the jack 2 in a dry environment, thereby enhancing waterproofness.

[0030] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solution of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in the actual process is described in detail below.

[0031] Working principle: Before use, the waterproof rubber sleeve 3 seals the socket 2 to achieve waterproofing; when in use, the plug is inserted into the socket 2 through the slot 4, which will press the waterproof rubber sleeve 3, thereby squeezing the corresponding sealed cavity 5. When connected for use, the waterproof rubber sleeve 3 will tightly wrap and seal the plug at the slot 4 under the action of its own elasticity, thereby achieving a waterproof effect; at the same time, since the sealed cavity 5 corresponding to the plug is squeezed, the internal pressure is greater than the external pressure, so that water vapor is not easy to enter the sealed cavity 5 from the outside, further achieving a waterproof effect; at the same time, the desiccant 12 in the sealed cavity 5 is also easy to keep the socket 2 in a dry environment, thereby enhancing waterproofing; and when the desiccant 12 needs to be replaced, it can be replaced by unscrewing the screw 10 and removing the waterproof rubber sleeve 3.
