Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A socket strip is a multi-socket with wires, commonly known as a power strip or power strip, and its scientific name is a wire extension assembly or extension cord socket. More than one power plug can be connected, which saves space and wiring. However, although the existing sockets have certain waterproof properties, their sockets are exposed to the outside. In water-prone environments such as bathrooms, kitchens, and balconies, they cannot meet the waterproof requirements, which can easily cause power short circuits and pose a major safety hazard. In response to the above problems, people have invented a waterproof socket with patent number: 202021922204.8. Through the waterproof structure that is set up, the covering end of the waterproof cover in the waterproof structure is covered with the waterproof groove when in use to prevent water from the outside from contacting the socket, thereby waterproofing, improving the safety of the socket, and avoiding accidents. However, the waterproof socket still has the following problems: 1. The waterproof covers of existing waterproof sockets are mostly of fixed specifications and cannot be adjusted. However, when the thickness of the plug used is greater than the accommodation height of the waterproof cover, the waterproof cover cannot fit the socket, resulting in a gap, which affects the waterproof performance; 2. The existing waterproof socket is only waterproofed by the waterproof cover, which can only protect against external splashing water. When it is unable to effectively protect against water vapor, water vapor will enter the plug and oxidize and corrode the internal metal sheet, affecting the power connection performance and safety of use.
