Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sockets and relates to a socket panel. Background Art

[0002] Sockets are a necessity in daily life, and the sockets on the market, such as a combination of a two-pin and a three-pin socket, can only use a two-pin plug and a three-pin plug at the same time. If two two-pin plugs need to be used at the same time, an external socket strip is required for use;

[0003] At present, although there are sockets in the prior art that can convert a three-pin socket into a two-pin socket for use, for example, a Chinese patent discloses a multi-purpose wall socket that can rotate three holes at an angle [application number: 202011259167.1], including a socket panel, two-pin sockets, three-pin sockets, round holes, limit slots A, connecting cylinders, junction boxes, mounting seats, rotating heads, rotating cylinders, plug holes, rotating plates, and plug rods. The socket panel is provided with two-pin sockets and three-pin sockets, and the neutral and live wire sockets below the three-pin sockets are provided with round holes, and the limit slots A are provided below the left round holes. The two round hole connecting cylinders are fixed to the upper and lower parts of the back of the socket panel, and the junction box is installed with the connecting cylinder through the mounting seats at the upper and lower positions, and the two rotating heads are installed with the round holes and rotate along the round holes through the rotating cylinders, and the rotating heads are penetrated with rectangular plug holes in front and behind;

[0004] However, in this invention patent, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the plug hole on the rotating head for setting the neutral wire and live wire sockets is obviously located in the middle of the rotating head, that is, the center line of the plug hole in the length direction is in a coincidence with the rotation center of the rotating head. However, in actual applications, if the plug holes corresponding to the neutral wire and the live wire are located in the middle of the rotating head, when the rotating head is rotated to be parallel to the plug holes corresponding to the neutral wire and the live wire, the spacing between the plug holes of the neutral wire and the live wire is not equal to the spacing between the two-prong plugs of the current domestic national standard. Therefore, although this patent provides a concept of switching between a three-prong plug and a two-prong plug, its actual application has certain errors. Although this error can be solved by increasing the width of the plug hole, this will cause a certain gap between the plug and the plug hole after the plug is inserted, and the plug will become loose.

[0018] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of the utility model are:

[0019] 1.
