Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric plug boards, and in particular to an electric plug board for the blind. Background Art
[0002] Human civilization has entered the 21st century. Standing at the new starting point of the new millennium, everyone is full of hope for a new life. But for people with disabilities who have difficulty in moving, the most common but difficult wish is to live happily like healthy citizens. According to the figures released by the International Labor Organization, the total number of people with disabilities has reached 900 million, about 10% of the world's population. In China, the total number of people with disabilities is 60 million, accounting for 5%. It can be seen that barrier-free design should be more popular.
[0003] The lives of visually impaired people are often filled with more dangers. They have no way to detect the dangers around them in time. Whether it is a speeding car on the road or the corners of tables and chairs at home, they may cause harm to them. Based on several previous experiences as volunteers in community nursing homes, visually impaired elderly people have many risk factors when plugging in sockets, such as over-trusting their past experience and plugging directly into the socket without cutting off the power, or plugging in the socket when there are water stains or splashes around. These actions are extremely dangerous, and any mistakes can easily cause electric shock.
[0004] From a small group to a large group, it is not difficult to find that these risks are not only faced by the visually impaired elderly. Compared with the elderly who are cared for more time, the young and middle-aged visually impaired people who live alone are more at risk. The existing power strips are complex in design, costly, and difficult to provide safe electricity for the visually impaired. Utility Model Content

[0028] Figure 1 A side view of an electric plug board for the blind according to an embodiment of the present application is shown; Figure 2 A top view of an electric plug board for the blind according to an embodiment of the present application is shown; Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the use of the blind power strip and plug 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the blind person's power strip comprises: a power strip body 100; a socket 110 is arranged on the power strip body 100, one of the board surfaces of the power strip body 100 is inclined upward, and the socket 110 is arranged on the inclined board surface; a guide groove 120 extends above the socket 110, and the number of the socket 110 corresponds to the number of the guide grooves 120.
[0029] The electric plug board for the blind proposed in this embodiment is provided with a socket 110 and a guide groove 120 on the inclined surface of the electric plug board body 100. Compared with the common flat sockets on the market, the electric plug board body 100 of this embodiment has a simple structure and can enable the visually impaired person to touch the inclined surface of the fixed electric plug board, hold the electric plug 200, and slide from the upper part of the electric plug board body 100 to the lower part of the electric plug board body 100. Since the upper part is provided with the guide groove 120, there is no possibility of electric shock. Then, according to the groove length of the guide groove 120, the person can slide downward to quickly find the socket 110 and insert the plug 200 into the socket 110, so that the plug 200 and the socket at the socket 110 can be quickly matched, thereby preventing the visually impaired person from groping for the socket for a long time and inserting the finger into the socket by mistake, causing the risk of electric shock.
[0030] In one specific embodiment, the width of the guide groove 120 above different types of sockets 110 is different, and the width of the guide groove 120 at the end away from the socket 110 is greater than or equal to the width of the guide groove 120 at the end close to the socket 110. In this embodiment, it should be noted that the visually impaired person selects an appropriate type of plug 200, and the width of the guide groove 120 is explored according to the beginning of the plug 200, so as to quickly find the socket 110 corresponding to different plugs 200. It should also be noted that the width of one end of the guide groove 120 is greater than or equal to the width of the other end, so that the visually impaired person can quickly find the upper guide groove 120, and gradually decreases to a position close to the socket 110, so that the visually impaired person can find the position of the socket 110 more conveniently, while ensuring the electrical safety of the visually impaired person and reducing the chance of electric shock.
[0031] In one specific embodiment, the guide groove 120 is arranged in a long strip shape, the guide grooves 120 are arranged at intervals, the guide grooves 120 are arranged in parallel, the sockets 110 are arranged at intervals, and the sockets 110 are arranged in parallel. In this embodiment, it should be noted that the guide groove 120 and the socket 110 are parallel and arranged at intervals, which makes it easy for the visually impaired to feel the guide groove 120 from one direction, so as to quickly find the socket 110 and reduce the possibility of electric shock.
[0032] In one specific embodiment, a plurality of the guide grooves 120 are aligned, and the center line of the socket 110 is on the same straight line as the center line of the guide groove 120. In this embodiment, it should be noted that the position of the socket 110 can be accurately found according to the guide groove 120.
[0033] In one specific embodiment, the socket 110 includes: a three-phase socket and a two-phase socket, the number of guide slots corresponding to the three-phase socket is one, and the number of guide slots corresponding to the two-phase socket is two. In this embodiment, it should be noted that the width of the guide slot corresponding to the three-phase socket is less than or equal to the maximum distance between two symmetrically arranged sockets in the three-phase socket, and the width of the guide slot corresponding to the three-phase socket is greater than the minimum distance between two symmetrically arranged sockets in the three-phase socket. The number of guide slots corresponding to the two-phase socket is two, and the two guide slots are arranged corresponding to the two sockets in the two-phase socket, and the width of the guide slot is slightly greater than the setting width of the corresponding socket.
[0034] In one of the specific embodiments, grooves are provided on both sides of the socket 110, and the grooves are provided in the same direction as the groove length direction of the guide groove 120. A protective cover 130 is provided on the upper part of the socket 110, and the protective cover 130 slides along the groove length direction of the groove. In this embodiment, it should be noted that a slidable waterproof plate is provided on each socket, and a waterproof cover can be moved to the end away from the guide groove 120. On the one hand, it prevents water vapor from scattering on the side and reduces the risk of electric shock. On the other hand, when the electric plug 200 slides down along the guide groove 120, it can be pushed down directly when it touches the waterproof plate, which is convenient to use.
[0035] In one specific embodiment, the side projection of the power strip body 100 is an L-shaped structure, and the middle part of the inclined plate surface is a smooth curved structure. In this embodiment, it should be noted that the middle part of the structure is set to a curved shape. Compared with the common flat-panel sockets on the market, the bottom of the blind power strip proposed in this application can be fixed in the corner of the wall, and because the upper plate surface is provided with a curved structure, the risk of the blind being kicked when walking is reduced. At the same time, when a large amount of waterproofing is required, the end with the socket 110 can be adjusted to face upwards, and the protective cover 130 can be used to effectively reduce the probability of water dripping in.
[0036] In one specific embodiment, a plurality of the sockets 110 are aligned, and the distance between two adjacent sockets 110 of the same type is equal, and the distance between the corresponding guide grooves 120 of the sockets 110 of the same type is equal. In this embodiment, it should be noted that the sockets 110 are aligned, and the distance between the sockets 110 of the same type and the corresponding guide grooves 120 is equal. This makes the board surface where the sockets 110 on the electrical board body 100 are located flat and the layout is balanced.
[0037] In one specific embodiment, it further includes: a power switch 140; the power switch 140 is arranged on the side of the power strip, the power switch 140 is arranged adjacent to the socket 110, and the power switch 140 is marked with braille. In this embodiment, it should be noted that there is a braille switch 140 design and braille precautions next to the power strip, which is more friendly to the visually impaired.
[0038] In one specific embodiment, the upper end surface of the power strip body 100 is in a rectangular structure, the lower end surface of the power strip body 100 is in a rectangular structure, and the cross-sectional area of the power strip body 100 decreases from the bottom of the power strip body 100 to the top of the power strip body 100. In this embodiment, it should be noted that the appearance of the present application has a sense of design and can reduce the probability of electric shock when the visually impaired connect the socket 110 and the plug 200.
[0039] It should be noted that although the present application is used as an example to introduce the blind power strip as above, those skilled in the art will understand that the present application should not be limited thereto. In fact, the user can flexibly set the type of the socket 110 on the power strip and the shape and size of the corresponding guide slot 120 according to personal preferences and / or actual application scenarios, as long as the settings are reasonable.
