Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrical connection devices, and in particular to a socket. Background Art

[0002] Socket, also known as power socket, switch socket. Socket refers to a seat into which more than one circuit wiring can be inserted, through which various wiring can be inserted, so that it is convenient to connect with other circuits.

[0003] At present, the market size of the socket industry continues to expand and is expected to maintain steady growth in the next few years. With the development of the global economy, the acceleration of urbanization and the advancement of infrastructure construction, the demand for socket products continues to be strong. In particular, in emerging markets and power facility upgrade projects, the demand for sockets is particularly strong.

[0004] However, the socket industry is also facing problems such as overcapacity, intensified price competition, and serious product homogeneity. In order to improve competitiveness, it is necessary to continuously optimize the structure of the socket, improve socket production efficiency and socket quality, and meet market and competition needs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present application provides a socket, which can facilitate the assembly of the socket and improve the quality and production efficiency of the socket.

[0006] The socket provided in the present application includes a terminal assembly, a socket assembly, an indicator light assembly, an N-pole conductive strip and an L-pole conductive strip, wherein the socket assembly is arranged on one side of the terminal assembly. The indicator light assembly is arranged on one side of the terminal assembly. The N-pole conductive strip extends in a straight line direction, and the N-pole conductive strip is electrically connected to the corresponding conductive parts of the terminal assembly, the socket assembly and the indicator light assembly. The L-pole conductive strip extends in a straight line direction, and the L-pole conductive strip is electrically connected to the corresponding conductive parts of the terminal assembly, the socket assembly and the indicator light assembly.

[0007] According to the embodiment, in the socket structure of the present application, the socket assembly and the indicator light assembly are arranged on one side of the terminal assembly, and the N-pole conductive strip and the L-pole conductive strip both extend in a straight line direction. The N-pole conductive strip is electrically connected to the conductive part of the terminal assembly that transmits the live signal, the conductive part of the socket assembly that transmits the live signal, and the first pole of the indicator light assembly, and the L-pole conductive strip is electrically connected to the conductive part of the terminal assembly that transmits the neutral signal, the conductive part of the socket assembly that transmits the neutral signal, and the second pole of the indicator light assembly. When manufacturing a socket adopting this structure, since the N-pole conductive strip and the L-pole conductive strip both extend in a straight line direction, the shape and size of the N-pole conductive strip and the L-pole conductive strip are easier to control compared to the bent conductive strip, and can be effectively installed and used in the socket, and it is convenient for the assembly of the socket, and improves the quality and production efficiency of the socket. In addition, the socket of the present application utilizes an N-pole conductive bar and an L-pole conductive bar to electrically connect the terminal assembly, the socket assembly and the indicator light assembly at the same time. Compared with the existing method in which the terminal assembly and the socket assembly are only electrically connected through the N-pole conductive bar and the L-pole conductive bar, and the indicator light assembly separately adopts other electrical connection structures (for example, the indicator light assembly is connected to the corresponding part of the socket assembly), this structure provides another connection method for the indicator light assembly, and at the same time, it also has the characteristics of simple and reliable connection structure.

[0008] In one possible design, the socket includes at least two conductive bar positioning and installation structures, one of the two conductive bar positioning and installation structures is used to position and install the N-pole conductive bar, and the other of the two conductive bar positioning and installation structures is used to position and install the L-pole conductive bar.

[0009] At least one conductive strip positioning and installation structure includes a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure, the first limiting structure is arranged at the terminal assembly, and the second limiting structure is arranged at the seat assembly. The first limiting structure and the second limiting structure are arranged in a straight line.

[0010] According to the embodiment, the N-pole conductive strip and the L-pole conductive strip need to be electrically connected to the terminal assembly, the socket assembly and the indicator lamp assembly, respectively. The socket of the present application includes at least two conductive strip positioning and installation structures, and the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure included in the conductive strip positioning and installation structure are arranged in a straight line. In this way, when installing the conductive strip, the conductive strip can be first positioned through the corresponding conductive strip positioning and installation structure, and then the conductive strip can be electrically connected to the corresponding conductive parts of the terminal assembly, the socket assembly and the indicator lamp assembly by spot welding or soldering. In this way, it helps to improve the reliability of the electrical connection between the conductive strip and the terminal assembly, the socket assembly and the indicator lamp assembly.

[0011] In a possible design, the second limiting structure includes a limiting groove, and the conductive strip is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0012] Provided through this implementation, specifically, in some implementations of the present application, the second limiting structure adopts a limiting groove structure, and the conductive bar can be directly plugged into the second limiting structure to achieve the positioning and installation of the conductive bar, which has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient installation and positioning.

[0013] In a possible design, the second limiting structure is formed on the conductive portion of the seat assembly, the limiting groove includes a first groove wall and a second groove wall that are arranged opposite to each other, and a welding protrusion is arranged on the first groove wall or the second groove wall.

[0014] The second limiting structure provided by this embodiment is formed on the conductive part of the seat assembly, so that the second limiting structure has conductivity. The second limiting structure can not only position and install the conductive strip, but also help to increase the conductivity between the conductive strip and the seat assembly. The electrical connection between the conductive strip and the seat assembly is achieved by spot welding, which has the characteristics of high production efficiency and suitability for large-scale production. In addition, spot welding does not require filling materials such as welding rods and welding wires, which reduces material costs, and has relatively low energy consumption and good economy.

[0015] In a possible design, one of the first groove wall and the second groove wall is provided with a guiding inclined surface.

[0016] According to this embodiment, the guide slope is provided at one of the first slot wall and the second slot wall, which can facilitate the installation of the conductive strip and improve the installation efficiency of the conductive strip.

[0017] In a possible design, the second limiting structure includes a first hook and a second hook. A first mounting groove is provided on the conductive bar, and the first hook and the second hook pass through the first mounting groove and are engaged with the conductive bar.

[0018] According to the embodiment, the second position-limiting structure includes a first hook and a second hook, and the N-pole conductive strip is provided with a first mounting groove adapted to the second position-limiting structure, and the first hook and the second hook pass through the first mounting groove and engage with the conductive strip. In this way, the conductive strip can be positioned and installed reliably.

[0019] In a possible design, the second limiting structure further includes a first elastic clamping column and a second elastic clamping column. The first elastic clamping column and the second elastic clamping column are arranged on both sides of the first mounting groove, and a first gap is provided between the first elastic clamping column and the second elastic clamping column. The first hook and the second hook pass through the first mounting groove and pass through the first gap under pressure, the first hook is clamped with the first elastic clamping column, and the second hook is clamped with the second elastic clamping column.

[0020] According to the embodiment, a first elastic clamping column and a second elastic clamping column are correspondingly arranged on opposite sides of the first mounting groove, and a first gap is provided between the first elastic clamping column and the second elastic clamping column. In the same direction, the first gap is smaller than the sum of the maximum dimensions of the first hook and the second hook. In this way, when the conductive strip is installed, the N-pole conductive strip passes through the first mounting groove and the first gap between the first hook and the second hook, and the first elastic clamping column and the second elastic clamping column will provide elastic deformation, and the elastic deformation can make the first hook and the second hook pass through the first mounting groove and the first gap smoothly. And after the first hook and the second hook pass through the first mounting groove and the first gap, the elastic deformation can be restored, and the first hook and the second hook can be better clamped with the first elastic clamping column and the second elastic clamping column to achieve the installation and fixation of the conductive strip.

[0021] In a possible design, the first hook and the second hook are formed on the conductive portion of the socket assembly, and a solder groove is provided between the first hook and the second hook.

[0022] According to the embodiment, the first hook and the second hook are both extensions of the socket assembly, and a solder groove is provided between the first hook and the second hook. After the conductive strip and the socket assembly are installed, solder can be applied at the solder groove to achieve reliable electrical connection between the conductive strip and the socket assembly.

[0023] In a possible design, the first limiting structure includes a limiting groove, and the conductive strip is inserted into the limiting groove. Alternatively, the first limiting structure is a limiting protrusion, and the conductive strip is provided with a second mounting groove adapted to the first limiting structure, and the first limiting structure passes through the second mounting groove.

[0024] In a possible design, the indicator light assembly includes an LED indicator light, a first-pole electrical connection structure, and a second-pole electrical connection structure. The first-pole electrical connection structure and the second-pole electrical connection structure are both spiral conductors. The first-pole electrical connection structure is electrically connected to the N-pole conductive strip and the first-pole pin of the LED indicator light. The second-pole electrical connection structure is electrically connected to the L-pole conductive strip and the second-pole pin of the LED indicator light.

[0025] According to the embodiment, both the first-pole electrical connection structure and the second-pole electrical connection structure are spiral conductors with a large end surface area, so that it is easier to realize the electrical connection between the first-pole electrical connection structure and the first pole of the LED indicator, and the electrical connection between the first-pole electrical connection structure and the N-pole conductive strip. Similarly, it is also easier to realize the electrical connection between the second-pole electrical connection structure and the second pole of the LED indicator, and the electrical connection between the second-pole electrical connection structure and the L-pole conductive strip.

[0050] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a socket provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 Shown is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of another socket provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the socket includes a terminal assembly 1, a socket assembly 2, an indicator light assembly 3 and two conductive strips 4, and the socket assembly 2 is arranged on one side of the terminal assembly 1. The indicator light assembly 3 is arranged on one side of the terminal assembly 1. One of the two conductive strips 4 is an N-pole conductive strip 4A, and the other conductive strip 4 is an L-pole conductive strip 4B. The N-pole conductive strip 4A extends in a straight line direction, and the N-pole conductive strip 4A is electrically connected to the corresponding conductive parts of the terminal assembly 1, the socket assembly 2 and the indicator light assembly 3. The L-pole conductive strip 4B extends in a straight line direction, and the L-pole conductive strip 4B is electrically connected to the corresponding conductive parts of the terminal assembly 1, the socket assembly 2 and the indicator light assembly 3.

[0052] In the present application, the terminal assembly 1 is used to realize the access of external electric energy, and transmit the electric energy to the socket assembly 2 and other electrical components inside the socket through the N-pole conductive strip 4A and the L-pole conductive strip 4B. Specifically, the conductive part of the terminal assembly 1 at least includes a conductive part 11 for transmitting the live signal and a conductive part 12 for transmitting the neutral signal. In the case where the socket needs to be grounded, the conductive part of the terminal assembly 1 also includes a conductive part 13 for transmitting the ground signal.

[0053] The main function of the socket assembly 2 is to provide a safe and reliable interface so that the plug can be smoothly inserted and establish electrical contact with the socket to achieve effective transmission of current. There can be one or more socket assemblies 2 in the socket. The conductive part of the socket assembly 2 at least includes a conductive part 21 for transmitting the live signal and a conductive part 22 for transmitting the neutral signal. The socket assembly 2 can be a two-hole socket assembly or a five-hole socket assembly. When the socket assembly 2 is a five-hole socket assembly, the conductive part of the socket assembly 2 can also include a conductive part 23 for transmitting the ground signal.

[0054] When the socket assembly 2 is a two-hole socket assembly, the conductive part 11 of the terminal assembly 1 that transmits the live signal and the conductive part 12 that transmits the neutral signal are electrically connected to the corresponding conductive parts of the socket assembly 2 through the conductive strip 4. When the socket assembly 2 is a five-hole socket assembly, the conductive part 11 of the terminal assembly 1 that transmits the live signal and the conductive part 12 that transmits the neutral signal are electrically connected to the corresponding conductive parts of the socket assembly 2 through the conductive strip 4, thereby realizing current transmission, and the socket assembly 2 is grounded through the conductive part 13 that transmits the ground signal.

[0055] The indicator light assembly 3 is used to indicate the power-on state of the socket. When the indicator light is on, the socket is in the power-on state; when the indicator light is off, the socket is in the power-off state.

[0056] The function of the N-pole conductive strip 4A is to electrically connect the conductive part 11 of the terminal assembly 1 for transmitting the live signal with the conductive part 21 of the socket assembly 2 for transmitting the live signal and the first pole of the indicator light assembly 3 .

[0057] The function of the L-pole conductive bar 4B is to electrically connect the conductive part 12 of the terminal assembly 1 for transmitting the neutral line signal with the conductive part 22 of the socket assembly 2 for transmitting the neutral line signal and the second pole of the indicator light assembly 3 .

[0058] It should be noted that the conductive part 11 of the terminal assembly 1 that transmits the live signal, the conductive part 21 of the socket assembly 2 that transmits the live signal, and the first pole of the indicator light assembly 3 are corresponding conductive parts. The conductive part 12 of the terminal assembly 1 that transmits the neutral live signal, the conductive part 22 of the socket assembly 2 that transmits the neutral signal, and the second pole of the indicator light assembly 3 are corresponding conductive parts. The conductive part 13 of the terminal assembly 1 that transmits the ground signal, and the conductive part 23 of the socket assembly 2 that transmits the ground signal are corresponding conductive parts.

[0059] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the socket includes a terminal assembly 1, a socket assembly 2, an indicator light assembly 3, an N-pole conductive strip 4A, and an L-pole conductive strip 4B. There are three socket assemblies 2, two of which are five-hole socket assemblies and one is a two-hole socket assembly. The three socket assemblies 2 and one indicator light assembly 3 are arranged in sequence on the same side of the terminal assembly 1.

[0060] The N-pole conductive strip 4A extends in a straight line direction. In the extending direction of the N-pole conductive strip 4A, the N-pole conductive strip 4A is electrically connected to the conductive portion 11 of the terminal assembly 1 for transmitting the live signal, the conductive portions 21 of the three socket assemblies 2 for transmitting the live signal, and the first pole of the indicator assembly 3 in sequence. When the socket is powered on, the live signal of the external power supply is transmitted to the conductive portion 21 of each socket assembly 2 for transmitting the live signal and the first pole of the indicator assembly 3 through the conductive portion 11 of the terminal assembly 1 for transmitting the live signal.

[0061] The L-pole conductive strip 4B extends in a straight line direction. In the extension direction of the L-pole conductive strip 4B, the L-pole conductive strip 4B is electrically connected to the conductive portion 12 of the terminal assembly 1 that transmits the neutral signal, the conductive portions 22 of the three socket assemblies 2 that transmit the neutral signal, and the second pole of the indicator assembly 3 in sequence. When the socket is powered on, the neutral signal of the external power source is transmitted to the conductive portion 22 of each socket assembly 2 that transmits the neutral signal and the second pole of the indicator assembly 3 through the conductive portion 12 of the terminal assembly 1 that transmits the neutral signal. In this way, the external power source is used to supply power to the socket assembly 2 and the indicator assembly 3 in the socket.

[0062] In the socket of the present application, the socket assembly 2 and the indicator light assembly 3 are arranged on one side of the terminal assembly 1, and the N-pole conductive strip 4A and the L-pole conductive strip 4B both extend in a straight line direction. The N-pole conductive strip 4A electrically connects the conductive part 11 of the terminal assembly 1 for transmitting the live signal, the conductive part 21 of the socket assembly 2 for transmitting the live signal, and the first pole of the indicator light assembly 3, and the L-pole conductive strip 4B electrically connects the conductive part 12 of the terminal assembly 1 for transmitting the neutral signal, the conductive part 22 of the socket assembly 2 for transmitting the neutral signal, and the second pole of the indicator light assembly 3.

[0063] When manufacturing a socket adopting this structure, since the N-pole conductive strip 4A and the L-pole conductive strip 4B both extend in a straight direction, the shape and size of the N-pole conductive strip 4A and the L-pole conductive strip 4B are easier to control than those of the bent conductive strips, so that they can be effectively installed and used in the socket, and it is convenient for the assembly of the socket and improves the quality and production efficiency of the socket.

[0064] In addition, the socket of the present application utilizes the N-pole conductive bar 4A and the L-pole conductive bar 4B to electrically connect the terminal assembly 1, the socket assembly 2 and the indicator light assembly 3. Compared with the prior art in which the terminal assembly 1 and the socket assembly 2 are only electrically connected through the N-pole conductive bar 4A and the L-pole conductive bar 4B, and the indicator light assembly 3 separately adopts other electrical connection structures (for example, the indicator light assembly 3 is connected to the corresponding part of the socket assembly 2), this structure provides another connection method for the indicator light assembly 3, and at the same time, it also has the characteristics of simple and reliable connection structure.

[0065] In addition, it should be noted that Figure 1 and Figure 2 These are merely two different embodiments of the socket of the present application, and are not intended to be a limitation on the socket structure of the present application. For example, the socket assembly 2 in the present application may be of other numbers, such as one, four, or others. The type of the socket assembly 2 may be a separate five-hole socket assembly 2, a separate two-hole socket assembly 2, or other types of socket assembly 2. The indicator light assembly 3 may be located at one end of the socket, or may be located between adjacent socket assemblies 2 in the socket. The terminal assembly 1 may be a terminal assembly 1 with a switch, or may be a terminal assembly 1 without a switch.

[0066] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the socket includes at least two conductive strip positioning and installation structures 5, one of the two conductive strip positioning and installation structures 5 is used to position and install the N-pole conductive strip 4A, and the other of the two conductive strip positioning and installation structures 5 is used to position and install the L-pole conductive strip 4B. At least one conductive strip positioning and installation structure 5 includes a first limiting structure 51 and a second limiting structure 52, the first limiting structure 51 is arranged at the terminal assembly 1, and the second limiting structure 52 is arranged at the socket assembly 2. The first limiting structure 51 and the second limiting structure 52 are arranged in a straight line.

[0067] Specifically, in the socket structure, the N-pole conductive strip 4A and the L-pole conductive strip 4B need to be electrically connected to the terminal assembly 1, the socket assembly 2 and the indicator light assembly 3, respectively. The socket of the present application includes at least two conductive strip positioning and mounting structures 5, and the first limiting structure 51 and the second limiting structure 52 included in the conductive strip positioning and mounting structure 5 are arranged in a straight line. In this way, when installing the conductive strip, the conductive strip can be first positioned through the corresponding conductive strip positioning and mounting structure 5, and then the conductive strip can be electrically connected to the corresponding conductive parts of the terminal assembly 1, the socket assembly 2 and the indicator light assembly 3 by spot welding or soldering or other welding methods. In this way, it helps to improve the reliability of the electrical connection between the conductive strip and the terminal assembly 1, the socket assembly 2 and the indicator light assembly 3.

[0068] In addition, when the socket assembly 2 in the socket requires a grounding signal, the socket also includes an E-pole conductive strip 4C and a conductive strip positioning and mounting structure 5 for mounting and positioning the E-pole conductive strip 4C. The positioning and mounting structure of the E-pole conductive strip 4C can be the same as the positioning and mounting structure of the N-pole conductive strip 4A and the L-pole conductive strip 4B.

[0069] Figure 3 Shown Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the socket assembly 2 in the socket structure shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the second limiting structure 52 includes a limiting groove, and the conductive strip is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0070] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the second limiting structure 52 adopts a limiting groove structure, and the conductive strip can be directly plugged into the second limiting structure 52 to achieve the positioning and installation of the conductive strip, which has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient installation and positioning.

[0071] Figure 4 Shown Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the conductive strip in the socket structure shown in the figure, in some embodiments of the present application, the first limiting structure 51 can also be in the form of a limiting groove. When both the first limiting structure 51 and the second limiting structure 52 use limiting grooves and the cross-section of the limiting groove is rectangular, the conductive strip can be a rectangular conductive strip. In this way, the structural shape of the conductive strip is relatively simple, which is convenient for processing and installation.

[0072] It should be noted that Figure 1 and Figure 4 Only a conductive strip of a rectangular structure is shown. In practical applications, the limiting grooves of the first limiting structure 51 and the second limiting structure 52 may also adopt other shapes. Therefore, the shape of the conductive strip 4 may also change accordingly. This application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0073] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present application, the three conductive bar positioning and installation structures 5 for the N-pole conductive bar 4A, the L-pole conductive bar 4B and the E-pole conductive bar 4C all include a first limiting structure 51 and a second limiting structure 52 having limiting grooves, and the cross-section of the limiting grooves is rectangular. In this way, the N-pole conductive bar 4A, the L-pole conductive bar 4B and the E-pole conductive bar 4C can all be rectangular conductive bars, and the N-pole conductive bar 4A, the L-pole conductive bar 4B and the E-pole conductive bar 4C can be interchangeable without the phenomenon of wrong installation, which is more conducive to improving the installation efficiency of the conductive bars.

[0074] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3In some embodiments of the present application, the second limiting structure 52 is formed on the conductive portion of the socket assembly 2. The limiting groove includes a first groove wall 521 and a second groove wall 522 opposite to each other, and a welding protrusion 523 is provided on the first groove wall 521 or the second groove wall 522.

[0075] Specifically, the second limiting structure 52 is used to position the installation of the conductive strip. If it is only from the perspective of the positioning and installation of the conductive strip, the second limiting structure 52 is not necessarily formed on the conductive part of the seat assembly 2, and can also be formed on the insulating fixing part of the seat assembly 2. In some embodiments of the present application, the second limiting structure 52 is formed on the conductive part of the seat assembly 2. In this way, the second limiting structure 52 has conductivity. The second limiting structure 52 can not only position and install the conductive strip, but also help to improve the conductivity between the conductive strip and the seat assembly 2. In addition, the second limiting structure 52 is formed on the conductive part of the seat assembly 2. Compared with the solution in the prior art that the second limiting structure 52 is formed by the conductive part of the seat assembly 2 and the insulating part on the seat assembly, the second limiting structure 52 formed on the conductive part of the seat assembly 2 also has the advantage of easy control of structural dimensions.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, a welding protrusion 523 is provided at the first groove wall 521 or the second groove wall 522 of the second limiting structure 52, so that when the conductive strip is inserted between the first groove wall 521 and the second groove wall 522 of the second limiting structure 52, the welding protrusion 523 can be heated by a spot welding machine to realize electrical connection between the conductive strip and the corresponding conductive part of the seat assembly 2.

[0077] The electrical connection between the conductive strip and the socket assembly 2 is achieved by spot welding, which has the characteristics of high production efficiency and is suitable for large-scale production. In addition, spot welding does not require filler materials such as welding rods and welding wires, which reduces material costs, and has relatively low energy consumption and good economy.

[0078] In some other embodiments of the present application, the area of ​​the first groove wall 521 is greater than the area of ​​the second groove wall 522 , and the welding protrusion 523 is disposed on the first groove wall 521 of the second limiting structure 52 .

[0079] In some other embodiments of the present application, the welding protrusion 523 can also be set on the second groove wall 522 of the second limiting structure 52, and the electrical connection between the conductive strip and the socket assembly 2 can also be realized. However, the first groove wall 521 has a larger area than the second groove wall 522, so it is more convenient to set the welding protrusion 523.

[0080] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, at least one of the first groove wall 521 and the second groove wall 522 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 524 .

[0081] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, providing a guiding slope at the second slot wall 522 can facilitate the installation of the conductive strip and improve the installation efficiency of the conductive strip.

[0082] Please continue to rely on Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the conductive part of the socket assembly 2 includes a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate, both of which are extensions of the internal socket of the socket assembly 2, the first limiting plate is perpendicular to the second limiting plate, the first limiting plate includes a front, a back and a side, the front and the back are located on opposite sides of the first limiting plate, the side connects the front and the back, and the front and the back have a larger area than the side. The second limiting plate also includes a front, a back and a side, the front and the back are located on opposite sides of the first limiting plate, the side connects the front and the back, and the front and the back have a larger area than the side. The first groove wall 521 is the front of the first limiting plate, and the second groove wall 522 is the side of the second limiting plate. The present application sets a guide slope at the second groove wall 522, so that the setting space of the guide slope is larger, and it is easier to set a guide slope with a suitable guide angle and guide distance.

[0083] In some other embodiments of the present application, a guide slope 524 may be provided at both the first slot wall 521 and the second slot wall 522 , which is more conducive to improving the installation efficiency of the conductive strip.

[0084] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another socket provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 Shown Figure 5 A partial enlarged view of point I in the middle. Figure 7 Shown Figure 2 and Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the main view of the conductive strip used in . Figure 8 Shown Figure 2 and Figure 5 A top view of the conductive strips used in . Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the second limiting structure 52 includes a first hook 525 and a second hook 526. A first mounting slot 41 is provided on the conductive strip, and the first hook 525 and the second hook 526 pass through the first mounting slot 41 and are engaged with the conductive strip.

[0085] Specifically, the second limiting structure 52 includes a first hook 525 and a second hook 526. The N-pole conductive strip 4A is provided with a first mounting groove 41 adapted to the second limiting structure 52. The first hook 525 and the second hook 526 pass through the first mounting groove 41 and engage with the conductive strip. In this way, the conductive strip can be positioned and installed reliably.

[0086] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the second position-limiting structure 52 further includes a first elastic clamping column 527 and a second elastic clamping column 528. The first elastic clamping column 527 and the second elastic clamping column 528 are disposed on opposite sides of the first mounting groove 41, and a first gap J1 is formed between the first elastic clamping column 527 and the second elastic clamping column 528. The first hook 525 and the second hook 526 pass through the first mounting groove 41 and pass through the first gap J1 under pressure, and the first hook 525 is clamped with the first elastic clamping column 527, and the second hook 526 is clamped with the second elastic clamping column 528.

[0087] Specifically, in the same direction, the size of the first gap J1 is smaller than the maximum size of the first hook 525 and the second hook 526. In this way, when the conductive strip is installed, the N-pole conductive strip 4A passes through the first installation slot 41 and the first gap J1, and the first elastic clamping column 527 and the second elastic clamping column 528 provide elastic deformation, which can make the first hook 525 and the second hook 526 pass through the first installation slot 41 and the first gap J1 smoothly. After the first hook 525 and the second hook 526 pass through the first installation slot 41 and the first gap J1, the elastic deformation can be restored, and the first hook 525 and the second hook 526 can be better clamped with the first elastic clamping column 527 and the second elastic clamping column 528, so as to achieve the installation and fixation of the conductive strip.

[0088] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the first hook 525 and the second hook 526 are formed on the conductive portion of the socket assembly 2. A solder groove 529 is provided between the first hook 525 and the second hook 526.

[0089] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the first hook 525 and the second hook 526 are both extensions of the socket assembly 2, and a solder groove 529 is provided between the first hook 525 and the second hook 526. After the conductive strip is installed with the socket assembly 2, solder can be applied at the solder groove 529 to achieve reliable electrical connection between the conductive strip and the socket assembly 2.

[0090] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, the first limiting structure 51 includes a limiting groove, and the conductive strip is inserted into the limiting groove. Alternatively, the first limiting structure 51 is a limiting protrusion, and the conductive strip is provided with a second mounting groove 42 adapted to the first limiting structure 51, and the first limiting structure 51 passes through the second mounting groove 42.

[0091] As mentioned above, in some embodiments of the present application, the second limiting structure 52 may also be in the form of a limiting groove. When both the first limiting structure 51 and the second limiting structure 52 use limiting grooves and the cross-section of the limiting groove is rectangular, the conductive strip may be a rectangular conductive strip. In this way, the structural shape of the conductive strip is relatively simple and is easy to process and install.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, the second limiting structure 52 may also be in the form of a limiting protrusion, and when both the first limiting structure 51 and the second limiting structure 52 are in the form of limiting protrusions, the processing and installation of the conductive strip are facilitated. In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, the first limiting structure 51 may be in the same structural form as the second limiting structure 52.

[0093] In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, the first limiting structure 51 can be formed on the conductive part of the terminal assembly 1, or on the insulating part of the terminal assembly 1. When the first limiting structure 51 is formed on the conductive part of the terminal assembly 1, the electrical conductivity between the terminal assembly 1 and the conductive strip can be increased. When the first limiting structure 51 is formed on the insulating part of the terminal assembly 1, the conductive strip can be better positioned and the processing is also simpler.

[0094] Fig. 9 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of another socket provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.10 Shown is a schematic diagram of an LED indicator light, a first-pole electrical connection structure, and a second-pole electrical connection structure in an indicator light assembly.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10In some embodiments of the present application, the indicator light assembly 3 includes an LED indicator light 31, a first pole electrical connection structure 32, and a second pole electrical connection structure 33. The first pole electrical connection structure 32 and the second pole electrical connection structure 33 are both spiral conductors. The first pole electrical connection structure 32 is electrically connected to the N pole conductive strip 4A and the first pole pin of the LED indicator light 31; the second pole electrical connection structure 33 is electrically connected to the L pole conductive strip 4B and the second pole pin of the LED indicator light 31.

[0096] Specifically, the LED indicator 31 includes a light-emitting portion, a first pole pin, and a second pole pin. When a suitable voltage is applied to the first pole pin and the second pole pin, the light-emitting portion emits light. The first pole pin and the second pole pin are generally thin. In some embodiments, the first pole pin and the second pole pin are wound around the corresponding conductive part to obtain electricity, but this electrical connection method is not conducive to improving the installation efficiency of the LED indicator 31.

[0097] Please continue to refer to Fig.10 In some embodiments of the present application, the indicator light assembly 3 includes an LED indicator light 31, a first pole electrical connection structure 32, and a second pole electrical connection structure 33, and both the first pole electrical connection structure 32 and the second pole electrical connection structure 33 are spiral conductors. Specifically, the first pole pin and the second pole pin of the LED indicator light 31 can be bent so that the side of the first pole pin contacts the spiral end face of the spiral conductor, and the side of the second pole pin contacts the spiral end face of another spiral conductor, which helps to increase the contact area between the first pole pin and the first pole electrical connection structure 32, and increase the contact area between the second pole pin and the second pole electrical connection structure 33, thereby improving the conductivity between the first pole pin and the first pole electrical connection structure 32, and improving the conductivity between the second pole pin and the second pole electrical connection structure 33. When electrically connected, the first pole pin can be electrically connected to the first pole electrical connection structure 32 by plugging or welding, and the second pole pin can be electrically connected to the second pole electrical connection structure 33 by plugging or welding.

[0098] Similarly, the first pole electrical connection structure 32 and the second pole electrical connection structure 33 are both spiral conductors with a larger end surface area. In this way, it is easier to achieve electrical connection between the N pole conductive strip 4A and the first pole electrical connection structure 32, and it is also easier to achieve electrical connection between the L pole conductive strip 4B and the second pole electrical connection structure 33.

[0099] In addition, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10In some embodiments of the present application, the first-pole electrical connection structure 32 and the second-pole electrical connection structure 33 are both spiral conductors. During installation, the first-pole electrical connection structure 32 and the second-pole electrical connection structure 33 can be in a compressed state, so that the contact between the N-pole conductive strip 4A and the first-pole electrical connection structure 32 is more reliable, and the contact between the L-pole conductive strip 4B and the second-pole electrical connection structure 33 is also more reliable, which helps to improve the electrical connection reliability between the N-pole conductive strip 4A and the first-pole electrical connection structure 32, and also helps to improve the electrical connection reliability between the L-pole conductive strip 4B and the second-pole electrical connection structure 33.

[0100] Please combine Figure 1 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In some embodiments of the present application, the indicator light assembly 3 includes a connection structure mounting seat 34, and the connection structure mounting seat 34 is used to set the first pole electrical connection structure 32 and the second pole electrical connection structure 33. Two third limiting structures 53 are provided at the connection structure mounting seat 34, and the two third limiting structures 53 are both limiting grooves. The two third limiting structures 53 are correspondingly located in the extension direction of the N pole and the conductive strip, and the L pole conductive strip 4B. When the conductive strip is inserted into the third limiting structure 53 for positioning, the N pole conductive strip 4A is crimped and electrically connected with the first pole electrical connection structure 32 in the connection structure mounting seat 34, and the L pole conductive strip 4B is crimped and electrically connected with the second pole electrical connection structure 33 in the connection structure mounting seat 34.

[0101] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the indicator light assembly 3 includes a connection structure mounting seat 34, and the connection structure mounting seat 34 is used to set the first pole electrical connection structure 32 and the second pole electrical connection structure 33. Parts of the first pole electrical connection structure 32 and the second pole electrical connection structure 33 are fixed in the connection structure mounting seat 34, and parts of the first pole electrical connection structure 32 and the second pole electrical connection structure 33 are located inside and outside the connection structure mounting seat 34. An opening adapted to the first pole electrical connection structure 32 is provided on the N pole conductive strip 4A, and an opening adapted to the second pole electrical connection structure 33 is provided on the L pole conductive strip 4B. The N pole conductive strip 4A is plugged and electrically connected to the first pole electrical connection structure 32, and the L pole conductive strip 4B is plugged and electrically connected to the second pole electrical connection structure 33.

[0102] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, the indicator light assembly 3 further includes a connection structure mounting seat 34, and the connection structure mounting seat 34 is used to set the first pole electrical connection structure 32 and the second pole electrical connection structure 33. The N pole conductive strip 4A is crimped and electrically connected to the first pole electrical connection structure 32, and the L pole conductive strip 4B is crimped and electrically connected to the second pole electrical connection structure 33.
