[0033] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0034] At present, more and more cars provide on-board power supply equipment in the passenger compartment and cargo compartment. For example, the structure of the car socket. The existing car socket structure is similar to that of an ordinary household socket. In order not to affect the continuity and aesthetics of the interior of the whole vehicle, in the prior art, the car socket is generally distributed in the trunk, the rear of the auxiliary instrument panel or under the seat.

[0035] The inventors have discovered that, since the socket structure is arranged in a relatively concealed position, it is not easily discovered by passengers when in use, which reduces the convenience of use.

[0036] Please also read Figures 1 to 3Now, the socket structure provided by the utility model is described. The socket structure includes a socket body 1 and a light-emitting component 2. The front end of the socket body 1 protrudes forward to form a plug-in boss 11; the light-emitting component 2 is arranged around the circumference of the plug-in boss 11 and is electrically connected to the socket body 1; the light-emitting component 2 emits light in a direction away from the socket body 1.

[0037] The socket body 1 can be fixed directly on the vehicle body, or can be fixed on the vehicle body with the aid of a mounting base. The front end of the socket body 1 protrudes forward to form a plug boss 11, and a plug hole is provided on the front surface of the plug boss 11 for electrically connecting to a plug of an electrical device. Preferably, the plug boss 11 is integrally formed with the socket body 1.

[0038] The plug boss 11 can be circular, rectangular, or other aesthetically pleasing special-shaped structures. There is a distance between the outer side of the plug boss 11 and the outer side of the socket body 1, and the light-emitting component 2 is located within the distance. The light-emitting component 2 can be directly fixedly connected to the socket body 1 or the plug boss 11, or it can be detachably connected to the socket body 1 or the plug boss 11.

[0039] It should be noted that the front face of the socket body 1 as defined above refers to the surface facing the interior of the vehicle, and the front face of the plug boss 11 is the plug surface. The outer side of the socket body 1 refers to the surface perpendicular to the front face, and the outer side of the plug boss 11 refers to the surface perpendicular to the plug surface.

[0040] The socket body 1 itself is provided with a plug-in assembly 13, which is electrically connected to the vehicle electrical system, and the light-emitting assembly 2 is electrically connected to the plug-in assembly 13, and power is supplied to the light-emitting assembly 2 by means of the plug-in assembly 13. When the vehicle door is opened, the vehicle electrical system is turned on and power is supplied to the light-emitting assembly 2 at the same time, and the light-emitting assembly 2 emits light in a direction away from the socket body 1, i.e., into the vehicle, to serve as a reminder of the position of the socket structure.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the socket structure provided by the utility model has a socket body 1 whose front end protrudes forward to form a plug-in boss 11 for electrically connecting to a plug of an electrical device; a light-emitting component 2 electrically connected to the socket body 1 is arranged around the periphery of the plug-in boss 1, and the light-emitting component 2 emits light outward with the aid of the socket body 1 to serve as a prompt of the position, so as to facilitate passengers to find the socket structure and improve the convenience of use.

[0042] In some embodiments, the socket body 1 may be configured as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 The structure shown, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The socket body 1 includes a housing 12, a plug assembly 13 and a base 14. The front end of the housing 12 protrudes forward to form a plug-in boss 11, and the rear end surface is an open surface; the plug assembly 13 is located in the housing 12 and is electrically connected to the light-emitting assembly 2; the base 14 is connected to the open surface of the housing 12.

[0043] The plug-in assembly 13 is electrically connected to the vehicle electrical system, and the plug-in assembly 13 includes a circuit board and a plug connector. The light-emitting assembly 2 is electrically connected to the circuit board of the plug-in assembly 13 .

[0044] The housing 12 is disposed around the plug assembly 13, and the housing 12 and the base 14 are combined to block the plug assembly 13. The front end of the housing 12 protrudes forward to form a plug boss 11, and the plug boss 11 has a plug hole corresponding to the plug connector.

[0045] The housing 12 is detachably connected to the base 14 to facilitate installation, replacement, and maintenance of the plug assembly 13. The housing 12 can be directly fixed to the vehicle body. For example, a plurality of connecting ears are provided on the outer surface of the housing 12, and bolts are passed through the connecting ears to fix the socket structure to the vehicle body.

[0046] In some embodiments, the light emitting component 2 may be configured as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 The structure shown, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The light-emitting assembly 2 includes a light guide cover 21 and a lamp body 22. The light guide cover 21 is arranged around the plug-in boss 11; the light guide cover 21 has a light-emitting surface 213, and the light-emitting surface 213 is smoothly transitioned with the front surface of the plug-in boss 11 and the side surface of the socket body 1; the lamp body 22 is located in the light guide cover 21 and is electrically connected to the socket body 1.

[0047] The lamp body 22 is used to emit light. Specifically, the lamp body 22 is electrically connected to the plug-in component 13 of the socket body 1. When the vehicle electrical system is turned on, the lamp body 22 can emit light. When the vehicle electrical system is turned off, the lamp body 22 stops emitting light.

[0048] The light guide cover 21 is used to gather light and radiate it outward through the light emitting surface 213. The light guide cover 21 is arranged along the circumference of the plug-in boss 11, and the light guide cover 21 can be annular, semi-annular, or strip-shaped.

[0049] The light-emitting surface 213 smoothly transitions with the front surface of the plug-in boss 11 and the side surface of the socket body 1, that is, the light-emitting surface 213 does not protrude forward from the plug-in boss 11, and does not protrude outward from the socket body 1. On the one hand, the light guide cover 21 does not occupy additional space, and on the other hand, it also improves the aesthetic performance of the socket structure.

[0050] Preferably, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 On the basis of the above-mentioned implementation mode, the transverse surface of the light-emitting surface 213 is arc-shaped, that is, the light-emitting surface 213 is a curved surface. The curved surface structure can increase the light-emitting area, and the light-emitting has no dead angle and is uniform, which can further improve the aesthetic performance of the socket structure.

[0051] It should be noted that the above-mentioned curved surface refers to the transition from one side edge of the light-emitting surface 213 (the edge connected to the front surface of the plug boss 11) to the other side edge (the edge connected to the side surface of the socket body 1) in the shape of a convex curved surface.

[0052] Regardless of whether the light guide cover 21 is a strip structure, an annular structure or a semi-annular structure, the light emitting surface 213 is an arc-shaped structure convex outward in any cross section.

[0053] See also Figure 4 On the basis of the above embodiment, the light guide cover 21 further has a first connection surface 211 and a second connection surface 212 , the first connection surface 211 is in contact with the side surface of the plug boss 11 , and the second connection surface 212 is in contact with the front end surface of the socket body 1 .

[0054] The first connecting surface 211 and the second connecting surface 212 are arranged vertically, and one side edge of the first connecting surface 211 is connected to one side edge of the second connecting surface 212; the two side edges of the light-emitting surface 213 are respectively connected to the other side edge of the first connecting surface 211 and the other side edge of the second connecting surface 212.

[0055] The first connection surface 211, the second connection surface 212 and the light-emitting surface 213 are connected in a ring shape, and the above three surfaces form a light-emitting cavity. The first connection surface 211 is in contact with the outer side surface of the plug-in boss 11, and the second connection surface 212 is in contact with the front end surface of the socket body 1 (i.e., the front end surface of the outer periphery of the plug-in boss 11), which can simplify the structure of the light guide cover 21, and can make the light guide cover 21 fixed by means of the outer side surface of the plug-in boss 11 or the front end surface of the socket body 1, simplifying the installation method of the light guide cover 21.

[0056] In some embodiments, the light guide cover 21 may be Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Fixing as shown, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A clamping structure is provided between the first connecting surface 211 and the side surface of the plug-in boss 11 .

[0057] The snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap 231 and a snap-fit ​​hole 232. The snap 231 is arranged on the first connecting surface 211, and the snap-fit ​​hole 232 is arranged on the outer side of the plug-in boss 11. The snap 231 and the snap-fit ​​hole 232 are arranged correspondingly; of course, the positions of the snap 231 and the snap-fit ​​hole 232 can also be interchanged, that is, the snap 231 is arranged on the outer side of the plug-in boss 11, and the snap-fit ​​hole 232 is arranged on the first connecting surface 211.

[0058] A plurality of the above-mentioned clamping structures may be disposed between the first connecting surface 211 and the inserting boss 11 to increase the fixing stability of the light guide cover 21 .

[0059] In some embodiments, the lamp body 22 may be formed as follows: Figure 2 The structure shown, see Figure 2 There are two lamp bodies 22, and the two lamp bodies 22 are respectively fixed on the side surfaces of the plug-in boss 11.

[0060] The two lamp bodies 22 are electrically connected to the socket body 1 through wires, and the two lamp bodies 22 can emit light of different colors. For example, one lamp body 22 emits green light and the other lamp body 22 emits red light. The red light lamp body 22 is connected to the IG2 relay. After the vehicle-mounted electrical system is turned on, the conductive circuit of the red light lamp body 22 is connected, and the red light lamp body 22 emits red light, while the conductive circuit of the green light lamp body 22 is disconnected, and the green light lamp body 22 does not emit light. The red light lamp body 22 lights up the socket structure through the light guide cover 21, and it is red, which is convenient for the occupants to find the socket structure; when the plug boss 11 is inserted into the plug, the conductive circuit of the red light lamp body 22 is disconnected, and the red light lamp body 22 does not emit light, while the conductive circuit of the green light lamp body 22 is connected, and the green light lamp body 22 emits green light, indicating that the socket structure is in use.

[0061] In addition, the conductive loop of the green light lamp body 22 can also be connected in series with the 220V power supply. When the 220V circuit fails, the green light lamp body 22 goes out and no light is lit in the socket structure, prompting the user that the power supply is faulty and needs maintenance.

[0062] In some embodiments, the socket structure can also be used as follows Figure 1 and Figure 3 The structure shown, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The plug-in boss 11 is a rectangular block structure, and a flip cover 15 is hinged on the upper side of the plug-in boss 11 ; the light-emitting component 2 is arranged around the left side, the lower side and the right side of the plug-in boss 11 .

[0063] The flip cover 15 serves to shield the plug-in boss 11, and the upper end of the flip cover 15 is hinged to the upper side of the plug-in boss 11. Under the action of gravity, the flip cover 15 is in a downward flipped state. When the socket structure is not in use, the flip cover 15 can always shield the plug-in boss 11 to prevent the socket from being exposed, eliminate the problem of accidental electric shock and short circuit, eliminate safety hazards, and improve the safety performance of the socket structure. When the socket structure is in use, the flip cover 15 can be overlapped on the plug of the electrical equipment without affecting the normal power supply.

[0064] It should be noted that the flip cover 15 can only cover the plug-in boss 11 but cannot cover the light-emitting component 2 .

[0065] The light emitting component 2 is arranged around the left side, the lower side and the right side of the plug-in boss 11, that is, the hinged part of the light emitting component 2 and the flip cover 15 is arranged just around the plug-in boss 11, thereby improving the aesthetic performance of the socket structure.

[0066] See also Figure 1 On the basis of the above embodiment, a magnetic attraction structure 16 is provided on the inner surface of the flip cover 15. The magnetic attraction structure 16 can further increase the stability of the flip cover 15 when it is in the closed state.

[0067] The magnetic attraction structure 16 can be arranged on the inner surface of the flip cover 15. The plug-in boss 11 is generally made of metal. When the flip cover 15 is in the closed state, the magnetic attraction structure 16 is attracted to the plug-in surface of the plug-in boss 11. Of course, the magnetic attraction structure 16 can also be arranged on the plug-in surface. If the flip cover 15 is made of metal, the magnetic attraction structure 16 is directly attracted to the flip cover 15; if the flip cover 15 is made of plastic, the magnetic attraction structure 16 can be arranged on the inner surface of the flip cover 15 and the plug-in surface accordingly.

[0068] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned socket structure.

[0069] The vehicle provided by the utility model adopts the above-mentioned socket structure, which makes it convenient for passengers to find and use the socket structure, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0070] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
