Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model discloses a weak current engineering socket protection mechanism, belonging to the field of weak current engineering. Background Art

[0002] Weak current engineering is a classification of power application. Power application can be divided into strong current and weak current according to the strength of power transmission. Weak current mainly provides power energy to people and converts electric energy into other energy, such as air conditioning, lighting, power, etc.

[0003] In order to prevent water from splashing onto the sockets during washing, the existing bathroom sockets are equipped with a cover. This cover can only prevent splashing from above. After the hot water in the bathroom falls to the ground, the water vapor will continue to evaporate. The evaporated water vapor floats upward and enters the socket through the gap under the cover, which will easily affect the service life over time.

[0004] In view of the above problems, a new improvement plan is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a weak current engineering socket protection mechanism in order to solve the above-mentioned problem.

[0006] The utility model achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical scheme: a weak current engineering socket protection mechanism, including a socket panel, a protective cover is rotatably arranged on the socket panel, a avoidance opening is opened at the bottom of the protective cover, an inflatable airbag is arranged in the avoidance opening, an inflation component is installed on the protective cover, the inflatable component is connected to the inflatable airbag through a catheter and can cause the inflatable airbag to expand.

[0007] Preferably, the inflation assembly includes hand-squeezable airbags symmetrically installed on both sides of the protective cover, and the hand-squeezable airbags are fixedly connected to the protective cover.

[0008] Preferably, a deformable member is fixedly provided on the socket panel, and the deformable member can be elastically deformed when subjected to pressure.

[0009] Preferably, a notch penetrating the protective cover is provided in the middle of the protective cover, an elastic membrane is provided on the notch, the elastic membrane is fixedly connected to the notch around the periphery, and the elastic membrane can be extended when subjected to force.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the protective cover is rotatably connected to the socket panel via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the protective cover is detachably connected to the socket panel via an elastic self-locking device.

[0011] Preferably, the protective cover is provided with an air leakage port, one end of the air leakage port is connected to the expansion airbag, and the other end of the air leakage port is provided with a plug for removal.

[0012] Preferably, the plug is threadably connected to the air leakage port.

[0013] Preferably, the protective cover and the elastic membrane are both made of transparent material.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. An inflatable airbag is set in the avoidance hole for wiring at the bottom of the protective cover. When the plug is installed, the airbag is inflated by the inflation assembly to reduce the size of the avoidance hole. The inflatable airbag is used to tightly wrap the plug wires, reduce the gap between the wires and the protective cover, and prevent water vapor from entering from the bottom.

[0016] 2. The protective cover is provided with a stretchable elastic membrane. Due to the different sizes of electrical plugs, when encountering a larger plug, the hard protective cover may not close tightly. The elastic membrane of this product can allow the larger plug to push it open, thereby ensuring that the protective cover fits the socket panel and further improves the sealing effect.

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. In the description of the utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a weak current engineering socket protection mechanism comprises a socket panel 1, a protective cover 2 is rotatably provided on the socket panel 1, a avoidance opening 3 is provided at the bottom of the protective cover 2, the avoidance opening 3 is used to facilitate the wires connected to the plug to pass out after the electrical plug is installed on the socket panel 1, an expansion airbag 4 is provided in the avoidance opening 3, an inflatable component is installed on the protective cover 2, the inflatable component is connected to the expansion airbag 4 through a conduit and can cause the expansion airbag 4 to expand, after the electrical plug is installed, the protective cover 2 is rotated to close, and then the inflatable component on the protective cover 2 is used to cause the expansion airbag 4 in the avoidance opening 3 to expand and increase its volume, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, when the volume of the expansion airbag 4 increases, the volume of the avoidance opening 3 will be reduced, thereby squeezing the wires so that the wires are tightly attached to the expansion airbag 4, forming an effect that the expansion airbag 4 wraps the wires, greatly reducing the gap between the wires and the avoidance opening 3, and preventing water vapor from entering the socket panel 1 from the bottom.

[0025] The inflation component of this product includes hand-pinch airbags 5 symmetrically installed on both sides of the protective cover 2. The hand-pinch airbags 5 are fixedly connected to the protective cover 2. The hand-pinch airbags 5 are common manual inflation tools in life, which facilitates the production and manufacturing of this product. At the same time, the two symmetrically arranged hand-pinch airbags 5 can increase the inflation speed of the expansion airbag 4.

[0026] In reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a deformable member 6 is fixedly provided on the socket panel 1. The deformable member 6 can be elastically deformed when under pressure. The deformable member 6 can be made of soft and elastic silicone material. When the wires are overlapped on the deformable member 6, the soft deformable member 6 begins to be concave due to the squeezing of the wires, and the expansion airbag 4 squeezes the wires, thereby wrapping the wires around and further improving the sealing.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, a notch penetrating the protective cover 2 is provided in the middle of the protective cover 2, and an elastic membrane 7 is provided on the notch. The elastic membrane 7 is fixedly connected to the notch around the periphery. The elastic membrane 7 can be extended when subjected to force. Due to the different sizes of different electrical plugs, when encountering a larger plug, the hard protective cover 2 may not be tightly closed. The elastic membrane 7 of this product can allow the larger plug to push it open, thereby ensuring that the protective cover 2 fits the socket panel 1, further improving the sealing effect. Figure 4 As shown, one end of the protective cover 2 is rotatably connected to the socket panel 1 through a rotating shaft 8, and the other end of the protective cover 2 is detachably connected to the socket panel 1 through an elastic self-locking device 9. The elastic self-locking device 9 of this product is set to a push-type. The push-type elastic self-locking device 9 adds a mechanism that can repeatedly lock and pop open on the basis of a pure elastic mechanism. After pressing, it can remain in a specific position. Pressing it again can quickly restore it to its initial state. It is a common connection accessory in life. When the protective cover 2 is closed, the elastic self-locking device 9 will lock to prevent the cover from being pushed open and forming a gap. When the cover needs to be opened, pressing the protective cover 2 to drive the elastic self-locking device 9 to work can release the lock and thus open the cover. The operation is simple.

[0028] For example Figure 5 As shown, the protective cover 2 is provided with an air leakage port 10, one end of the air leakage port 10 is connected with the inflatable airbag 4, and the other end of the air leakage port 10 is provided with a removable plug 11. When the volume of the inflatable airbag 4 needs to be reduced, the plug 11 can be removed to allow the gas in the inflatable airbag 4 to flow out along the air leakage port 10, and the plug 11 is threadedly connected to the air leakage port 10, and the threaded connection has high air tightness and stability.

[0029] Finally, the protective cover 2 and the elastic membrane 7 are both made of transparent materials. The protective cover 2 can be made of hard transparent plastic, and the elastic membrane 7 can be made of transparent silicone material, so that the user can observe the internal situation through the protective cover 2 on a daily basis.
