Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power sockets, in particular to a waterproof socket structure. Background Art

[0002] Power sockets are one of the most commonly used electrical accessories in daily life. They include fixed and movable sockets. Both types of sockets can be found in many different life scenarios, such as kitchens, toilets, outdoors, etc. If they are accidentally exposed to water or moisture, short circuits and leakage may occur. In order to prevent this, some sockets on the market currently install a waterproof cover on the outside of the socket to prevent water from flowing into the socket. However, the waterproof cover does not protect the socket from moisture or water, and it takes up space and affects the convenience of plugging and unplugging the plug, and cannot solve the problems of socket safety and ease of use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a simple and practical solution to the short circuit or leakage phenomenon caused by fixed sockets and mobile sockets when they are splashed with water, soaked in water or affected by moisture, so that the sockets will not produce short circuit or leakage in a splashed, soaked or moist environment, thereby protecting the safety of people and batteries.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions.

[0005] A waterproof socket structure comprises a socket face shell, a socket bottom shell and a tilt locking mechanism.

[0006] The socket face shell has at least one group of two-pole or three-pole sockets at the face end for accommodating the insertion of plug rods, and the bottom end is connected to the face end of the socket bottom shell to form the outer shell of the socket; the two-pole socket includes a live wire socket and a neutral wire socket, and the three-pole socket includes a live wire socket, a neutral wire socket and a ground wire socket; the socket face shell has a live wire socket and a neutral wire socket at the bottom end, which correspond to the live wire socket and the neutral wire socket respectively, and the two sockets are connected and recessed into the bottom end of the socket face shell, and an isolation wall is provided at the connection to completely separate the live wire socket and the neutral wire socket.

[0007] The socket bottom shell has a surface end connected to the bottom end of the socket face shell, and corresponding to the positions of the above-mentioned surface live wire plug-in compartment and surface neutral wire plug-in compartment, a bottom live wire plug-in compartment and a bottom neutral wire plug-in compartment recessed into the surface end of the socket bottom shell are respectively provided, and a plug-in kit connecting a plug plug rod is respectively installed in the bottom live wire plug-in compartment and the bottom neutral wire plug-in compartment; through the connection and assembly of the socket bottom shell and the socket face shell, the surface live wire plug-in compartment and the bottom live wire plug-in compartment inside the socket are connected to form a live wire plug-in compartment connected to the live wire socket, and the surface neutral wire plug-in compartment and the bottom neutral wire plug-in compartment are connected to form a neutral wire plug-in compartment connected to the neutral wire socket, and the live wire plug-in compartment and the neutral wire plug-in compartment form respective closed spaces inside the socket.

[0008] The tilt locking mechanism comprises a live wire slide plate, a neutral wire slide plate, a reset spring and a magnetic sheet, wherein the live wire slide plate surface end is closely attached to the live wire socket and installed in the live wire plug-in compartment, and the neutral wire slide plate surface end is closely attached to the neutral wire socket and installed in the neutral wire plug-in compartment, the two facing sides of the two slide plates are respectively parallel to and fitted with the two sides of the isolation wall, and the opposite sides are respectively parallel to and fitted with the side surfaces corresponding to the two plug-in compartments, and the same side is respectively provided with a driving inclined surface connecting the slide plate surface end, and the two driving inclined surfaces correspond to the live wire socket and the neutral wire socket respectively, and are used to receive the thrust of the plug rod inserted, and drive the slide plate to slide toward the plug rod side; of the two slide plates, the other side surface opposite to the side surface provided with the driving inclined surface is respectively provided with a spring positioning column, which is used to install a reset spring, and the live wire slide plate and the neutral wire slide plate are pushed to move toward the side surface provided with the driving inclined surface by the elastic force of the reset spring until the side surface of the slide plate is closely attached to the side wall of the live wire plug-in compartment and the neutral wire plug-in compartment; at the same time, the driving inclined surfaces of the two slide plates respectively correspond to the live wire socket and the neutral wire socket, The live wire slide plate and the neutral wire slide plate respectively shield the live wire socket and the neutral wire socket, preventing foreign matter and liquid from entering the socket from the socket socket; a magnetic sheet is respectively embedded in the opposite sides of the live wire slide plate and the neutral wire slide plate, and the two magnetic sheets are correspondingly distributed on the two sides of the socket surface shell isolation wall, and the two magnetic sheets are formed into an attractive state through the magnetic field suction force, so that the live wire slide plate and the neutral wire slide plate are kept in contact with the isolation wall; the live wire slide plate and the neutral wire slide plate are respectively provided with locking angles on the opposite sides, and the sides of the live wire plug compartment and the neutral wire plug compartment corresponding to the moving position of the locking angle are respectively provided with locking grooves; the positions of the spring positioning columns of the live wire slide plate and the neutral wire slide plate are set between the opposite sides of the two slide plates and the parallel lines of the center of the driving inclined surface of the slide plate, so that the driving inclined surface is pushed by the thrust, and when the slide plate moves to the side of the reset spring, it is offset by the elastic force of the reset spring to tilt the slide plate, and the tilt locking function of the slide plate is turned on, so that the locking angle of the slide plate tilts and slides into the locking groove of the socket surface shell, preventing the slide plate from sliding in the direction of the spring side.

[0009] The surface end of the socket bottom shell is provided with slide rails parallel to the bottom ends of the live wire slide plate and the neutral wire slide plate corresponding to the moving positions of the live wire slide plate and the neutral wire slide plate. The live wire slide plate and the neutral wire slide plate are restricted by the slide rails so that they cannot move toward the socket bottom shell inside the socket.

[0010] The tilt locking mechanism, when a foreign object is inserted into the live wire socket or the neutral wire socket alone, a single slide is pushed. When the thrust is greater than the elastic force of the reset spring, the slide slides in the direction of one side of the reset spring, while the other slide is restricted by the thrust of the reset spring and remains motionless. The two magnets embedded in the two slides on both sides of the distribution isolation wall are pulled apart and lose the magnetic attraction. The thrust pushing the slide counteracts the thrust of the reset spring so that the sliding slide starts the tilt locking function. The slide locking angle slides into the locking groove of the socket shell and prevents the slide from continuing to slide toward the side of the reset spring, so that the slide continues to cover the socket and prevents foreign objects from being inserted into the socket. When the plug rod is inserted into the socket socket, the two rods are inserted into the live wire socket and the neutral wire socket at the same time, and the live wire slide and the neutral wire slide are pushed to slide at the same time. The two magnets embedded in the two slides that maintain magnetic attraction do not change their distance during the sliding process of the two slides, and the magnetic attraction is maintained, so that the two slides move parallel to the isolation wall on both sides, and the tilt locking function of the slide is turned off, so that the slide slides until the rod is fully inserted into the socket. When the plug is pulled out, the reset spring pushes the two slides to return to their original state.

[0011] The utility model adopts a combination of a socket face shell and a socket bottom shell to separate a live wire plug compartment and a neutral wire plug compartment which are independently closed inside the socket, and also provides a live wire slide plate and a neutral wire slide plate to respectively cover the live wire socket and the neutral wire socket, and separate the connection between the live wire plug compartment and the neutral wire plug compartment and the outside of the socket, and the live wire slide plate and the neutral wire slide plate are each provided with a tilt locking function, and are each provided with a magnetic sheet to form a magnetic switch for turning on or off the tilt locking function of the slide plate, so that the live wire slide plate and the neutral wire slide plate are combined into a safety door for preventing misinsertion of the socket in a completely separated state, so as to prevent the socket from being exposed to water, soaked in water or affected by moisture, resulting in short circuit or leakage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be understood that the following description of the implementation methods is merely illustrative and does not constitute a specific limitation on the present invention.

[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a waterproof socket, comprising a socket shell composed of a socket face shell (1) and a socket bottom shell (2), wherein the face end of the socket face shell (1) is provided with a live wire socket (111) and a neutral wire socket (121) for accommodating a plug rod, and the bottom end is connected to the face end of the socket bottom shell (2), and the bottom end of the socket face shell (1) is also provided with a live wire plug compartment (112) and a neutral wire plug compartment (122) which are recessed into the bottom and respectively connected to the live wire socket (111) and the neutral wire socket (121), and at the connection between the two plug compartments, an isolation wall (131) is provided to completely isolate the two plug compartments; the socket bottom shell (3), the face end is provided with a bottom live wire plug compartment (311) and a bottom neutral wire plug compartment (321) which are recessed into the shell and correspond to the face live wire plug compartment (112) and the face neutral wire plug compartment (122), respectively; the live wire and neutral wire plug-in kits are respectively installed in the bottom live wire plug compartment (311) and the bottom neutral wire plug compartment (321) for connecting the plug rod; after the socket face shell (1) and the socket bottom shell (3) are assembled, the face live wire plug compartment (112) and the bottom live wire plug compartment (311) form a closed live wire plug compartment inside the socket, and the face neutral wire plug compartment (122) and the bottom neutral wire plug compartment (321) form a closed neutral wire plug compartment inside the socket.

[0020] Reference Figures 2 to 3The utility model provides a waterproof socket, further comprising an inclined locking mechanism, wherein the inclined locking mechanism comprises a live wire slide plate (21), a neutral wire slide plate (22), a reset spring (230), a first magnetic sheet (214) and a second magnetic sheet (224), wherein the live wire slide plate (21) and the neutral wire slide plate (22) are respectively mounted on the live wire plug compartment (112) and the neutral wire plug compartment (122), the surface ends are respectively facing the live wire socket (111) and the neutral wire socket (121) and are in contact with the plug compartment surface ends, the opposite sides are respectively parallel to and in contact with the two sides of the isolation wall (131), the opposite sides are respectively parallel to and in contact with the side surfaces corresponding to the two plug compartments, and the side surfaces on the same side are respectively provided with a first driving inclined surface (211) and a second driving inclined surface (224). The driving inclined surface (221) is connected to the surface end of the slide plate, and the two driving inclined surfaces correspond to the live wire socket (111) and the neutral wire socket (121) respectively, and are used to receive the thrust of the plug rod inserted, and drive the slide plate to slide toward the side of the plug rod; the other side of the two slide plates, which is opposite to the side with the driving inclined surface, is respectively provided with a first spring positioning column (212) and a second spring positioning column (222), which are used to install a reset spring (230), and push the live wire slide plate (21) and the neutral wire slide plate (22) to move toward the side with the driving inclined surface through the elastic force of the reset spring until the side of the driving inclined surface is respectively in close contact with the side wall of the live wire plug compartment (112) and the neutral wire plug compartment (122); at the same time, the driving inclined surfaces of the two slide plates correspond to the live wire plug compartment (112) and the neutral wire plug compartment (122). The live wire slot (111) and the neutral wire slot (121) are connected to each other so that the live wire slot (111) and the neutral wire slot (121) are respectively shielded by the live wire slot (111) and the neutral wire slot (121) to prevent foreign matter and liquid from entering the socket from the socket; the live wire slot (21) and the neutral wire slot (22) are respectively embedded with a first magnetic sheet (214) and a second magnetic sheet (224) on opposite sides of the live wire slot (21) and the neutral wire slot (22); the two magnetic sheets are correspondingly distributed on opposite sides of an isolation wall (131) of a socket shell (1); the two magnetic sheets are attracted to each other by magnetic field attraction, so that the live wire slot (21) and the neutral wire slot (22) are kept in close contact with the isolation wall (131); the live wire slot (21) and the neutral wire slot (22) are respectively provided with first locking angles on opposite sides thereof. (213) and a second locking angle (223), and locking grooves (132) are provided on the side surfaces of the live wire plug compartment (112) and the neutral wire plug compartment (122) corresponding to the moving position of the locking angle; the positions of the spring positioning columns of the live wire slide plate (21) and the neutral wire slide plate (22) are arranged between the parallel lines of the center of the driving inclined surface of the slide plate on the opposite sides of the two slide plates, so that the driving inclined surface is pushed by the thrust, and when the slide plate moves toward the side of the return spring (230), the thrust and the elastic force of the return spring (230) counteract each other to tilt the slide plate, and the tilt locking function of the slide plate is turned on, so that the locking angle of the slide plate tilts and slides into the locking groove (132) of the socket shell (1), and the slide plate is prevented from continuing to slide in the direction of the return spring (230) side.

[0021] Reference Figure 2The utility model includes a socket bottom shell (3), whose surface end corresponds to the moving position of the live wire slide plate (21) and the neutral wire slide plate (22), and is provided with a slide rail (330) parallel to the bottom ends of the live wire slide plate (21) and the neutral wire slide plate (22). Through the assembly combination of the slide rail (330) and the live wire plug compartment (112) and the neutral wire plug compartment (122), the live wire slide plate (21) and the neutral wire slide plate (22) can only move and reset to the side of the reset spring (230) inside the socket.

[0022] Reference Figure 4 When the plug rod is inserted into the socket, the rod abuts against and pushes the first driving inclined surface (211) and the second driving inclined surface (221) of the live wire slide plate (21) and the neutral wire slide plate (22), respectively, so that the two slide plates slide in the direction of the return spring (230) at the same time, and the first magnetic sheet (214) and the second magnetic sheet (224) embedded in the two slide plates move simultaneously with the slide plates. During the movement process, the distance between the two magnetic sheets remains unchanged and the magnetic attraction is maintained. The magnetic attraction force causes the two opposite sides of the live wire slide plate (21) and the neutral wire slide plate (22) to slide against the isolation wall (131), closing the tilt locking function of the live wire slide plate (21) and the neutral wire slide plate (22), so that the slide plates slide to fully open the socket to accommodate the insertion of the rod; when the plug is pulled out, the return spring (230) simultaneously pushes the live wire slide plate (21) and the neutral wire slide plate (22) to reset.

[0023] Reference Figure 5 When a foreign object is inserted into a single socket, it first abuts against and pushes the driving inclined surface of the corresponding slide, causing the slide to move in the direction of the return spring (230), and the other slide is restricted by the thrust of the return spring (230) and remains stationary. As the pushed slide moves farther, the first magnetic sheet (214) and the second magnetic sheet (224) embedded in the two slides lose their magnetic attraction, causing the slide pushed by the foreign object to activate the tilt locking function, and the locking angle tilts and slides into the corresponding locking groove (132), preventing the slide from continuing to slide, shielding the socket to prevent foreign objects from entering the socket, and preventing electric shock caused by accidental insertion.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be understood that any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
