[0002] With the increasing application of electronic products and the increase in the frequency of global travel, the problem of power consumption of electronic products in various countries has become more and more prominent. Because the specifications and standards of power sockets and plugs produced in different regions or countries are different, each country and power sockets and plugs have specific matching standards. As a result, when people travel or use electrical products produced in different regions, they often encounter the embarrassing situation of mismatched sockets and plugs.

[0003] In the related art, for example, a Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN201576859U discloses a dual-purpose plug-type socket, comprising a matching upper cover and a base, wherein the upper cover is provided with a circular hole groove, and three sockets are provided at the bottom of the circular hole groove of the upper cover, and corresponding first sockets, grounding sockets and second sockets are respectively arranged below the three sockets; an opening is formed at the edge of the bottom of the circular hole groove, and a grounding contact is provided near the side wall of the circular hole groove, and the lower end of the grounding contact is fixed in the base through the opening; a first plug copper pin, a grounding plug copper pin and a second plug copper pin are fixedly provided below the base, the first plug copper pin is electrically connected to the hole wall of the first socket, the grounding plug copper pin is electrically connected to the hole wall of the grounding socket and the grounding contact, and the second plug copper pin is electrically connected to the hole wall of the second socket.

[0004] With respect to the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventors have found the following defects: when the socket is in a powered state and no device is connected to the circular hole slot, the grounding contact arranged in the circular hole slot is in a completely exposed state, which can easily cause the grounding contact to be damaged due to external factors, and children can easily put their fingers into the circular hole slot and accidentally touch the grounding contact, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to shield the grounding contact in the circular hole groove to prevent children from accidentally touching it when the socket is in a powered state, the present application provides a smart socket.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 This application is described in further detail.

[0035] The present application embodiment discloses a smart socket. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A smart socket includes a socket 1 and a protection device 2. When the socket 1 is in a powered state and no device is connected to the round hole slot 11, the protection device 2 is inserted into the round hole slot 11 to shield and protect the round hole slot 11.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The socket 1 is provided with a circular hole groove 11, and a grounding contact 12 is symmetrically arranged in the circular hole groove 11. The inner wall of the circular hole groove 11 is provided with a groove 111 for the grounding contact 12 to be embedded. The contour of the protective device 2 is consistent with the contour of the circular hole groove 11. When the protective device 2 is inserted into the circular hole groove 11, the protective device 2 can embed the grounding contact 12 into the groove 111, which can better shield and protect the circular hole groove 11. The materials used for the protective device 2 are all anti-static materials, which is beneficial to prevent static electricity from accumulating on the surface of the protective device 2 and avoid safety accidents.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The protection device 2 includes a plug 21, a first stopper 22 and a second stopper 23. The first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23 are both slidably connected to the plug 21. A chamfer is provided on one side of the protection device 2 close to the circular hole groove 11, which is conducive to the protection device 2 not being easily stuck when being inserted into or pulled out of the circular hole groove 11. After the protection device 2 is inserted into the circular hole groove 11, the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23 both protrude from the circular hole groove 11, which is conducive to the user's operation and use of the protection device 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A side wall of the plug 21 facing away from the circular hole groove 11 is connected to an elastic connecting rope 25, and one end of the connecting rope 25 facing away from the plug 21 is sleeved on the outer wall of the socket 1, so that when the plug 21 is pulled out of the circular hole groove 11, it can still be connected to the socket 1, and the plug 21 is not easily lost.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The plug 21 is aligned with the grounding contact 12 and has a first mounting groove 212 and a second mounting groove 213 on both sides thereof. The first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23 are respectively slidably connected in the first mounting groove 212 and the second mounting groove 213 to limit the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23. When the protective device 2 is inserted into the circular hole groove 11, the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23 can be aligned with the grounding contact 12 to shield and protect the grounding contact 12.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first mounting groove 212 is fitted with a first slide groove 2121 on both side walls of the first stopper 22, the first stopper 22 is provided with a first sliding block 221 matched with the first slide groove 2121, the second mounting groove 213 is fitted with a second slide groove 2131 on both side walls of the second stopper 23, the second stopper 23 is provided with a second sliding block 231 matched with the second slide groove 2131, which is conducive to the sliding of the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23, and the plug 21 is located between the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23. A through hole 211 is also provided at a position where the plug 21 is located between the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23, and a spring 24 is passed through the through hole 211 to abut between the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23, that is, one end of the spring 24 away from the second stopper 23 abuts against the first stopper 22, and one end of the spring 24 away from the first stopper 22 abuts against the second stopper 23, so that the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23 can be automatically reset.

[0040] The implementation principle of the smart socket of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the socket 1 is in a power-on state and no device is connected to the round hole slot 11, the protection device 2 sleeved on the socket 1 can be inserted into the round hole slot 11. Specifically, the user pinches the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23, and moves the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23 to between the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23, which is conducive to the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23 not easily squeezing and deforming the grounding contact 12 when the protection device 2 is inserted into the round hole slot 11. After the protective device 2 is inserted into the circular hole groove 11, the user releases the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23. Under the action of the spring 24, the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23 will automatically reset. At the same time, the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23 embed the grounding contact 12 into the groove 111 to shield and protect the grounding contact 12. When the protective device 2 is not needed, the user only needs to pinch the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23 and move them between the first stopper 22 and the second stopper 23 to pull out the protective device 2 and reset the grounding contact 12.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
