[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0036] As used herein, the term "comprising" and its variations mean open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". Unless otherwise specified, the term "or" means "and / or". The term "based on" means "at least partially based on". The terms "an exemplary embodiment" and "an embodiment" mean "at least one exemplary embodiment". The term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects.

[0037] As described above, in some conventional sockets, the socket body is small in size, convenient for installation and use, etc. However, the small structure also brings some limitations, making it difficult to provide a safety protection structure on the socket.

[0038] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a protection door for a socket and a socket. The protection door includes a base, a first sliding member, a second sliding member, and a third sliding member. The movement directions of the first sliding member and the third sliding member are perpendicular, which can save space and contribute to the installation and arrangement of the protection door on the socket. The principle of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with Figures 1 to 7 to describe the principle of the present disclosure in detail.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the base 10 is a support structure of the protection door 100, and the protection door 100 can be installed on the body 210 of the socket. The base 10 can be installed on the socket by means of screw fixation, snap connection 621 or other mechanical fastening means.

[0040] In some embodiments, the protection door 100 can be installed on the body 210 of the DC socket. Hereinafter, taking the installation of the protection door 100 on the body 210 of the DC socket as an example, the structure and working principle of the protection door 100 will be described in detail. However, it should be understood that in other embodiments, the protection door 100 can also be installed on the bodies of other types of two-hole sockets, and the present disclosure is not intended to be limited thereto.

[0041] A first through hole 11 and a second through hole 12 are provided on the base 10. When the base 10 is installed on the body 210 of the DC socket, the first through hole 11 is aligned with the position of the first plug-in member 211 of the body 210. The user can insert the terminal of the corresponding polarity of the DC plug (for example, the first electrode terminal) into the first plug-in member 211 through the first through hole 11. The second through hole 12 is aligned with the position of the second plug-in member 212, and the user can insert the second electrode terminal of the DC plug into the second plug-in member 212. In some embodiments, the first electrode terminal can be a negative terminal, and the second electrode terminal can be a positive terminal.

[0042] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the first sliding member 20 is disposed on a side of the base 10 away from the body 210 of the DC socket, and the first sliding member 20 can slide back and forth along a first direction on the base 10. For example, if the first direction is a horizontal direction, the first sliding member 20 can slide horizontally on the base 10. The first sliding member 20 can cover the second through hole 12 on the base 10 when the DC socket is not in use, thereby covering the second plug-in member 212 on the body 210 to prevent safety hazards caused by accidental contact.

[0043] A third through hole 21 is provided on the first sliding member 20, and the third through hole 21 can be aligned with the second through hole 12 on the base 10, so as to allow the second electrode terminal of the power plug to pass through the third through hole 21 and the second through hole 12 and contact the second plug connector 212 on the body 210. When the first sliding member 20 slides to the shielding position, the third through hole 21 will be staggered with the second through hole 12, and the first sliding member 20 can shield the second through hole 12 and the second plug connector 212, so as to prevent accidental contact.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second sliding member 30 is disposed between the base 10 and the first sliding member 20 , and the second sliding member 30 can also slide along the first direction. A fourth through hole 31 is provided on the second sliding member 30 .

[0045] When the second sliding member 30 is in the shielding position, the fourth through hole 31 is staggered with the second through hole 12 on the base 10, and the second sliding member 30 shields the second plug connector 212 on the body 210 of the DC socket, thereby increasing safety. When the second sliding member 30 slides to the avoidance position, the fourth through hole 31 is aligned with the second through hole 12 on the base 10, and the second electrode terminal of the DC power plug is allowed to pass through the second through hole 12 and be inserted into the second plug connector 212 on the socket body 210, so that the power plug can work normally.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the third sliding member 40 is located on the base 10 and close to one side of the first sliding member 20. The third sliding member 40 can slide along the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. In this way, the first sliding member 20 and the third sliding member 40 have different movement directions, which reduces the possibility of mutual interference, thereby helping to save space.

[0047] There may be a transmission mechanism between the third sliding member 40 and the second sliding member 30, and the transmission mechanism may be, for example, a connecting rod, a gear or a wedge-shaped structure, so that the third sliding member 40 can drive the second sliding member 30 to move together when sliding. That is, when the third sliding member 40 slides along the second direction, the third sliding member 40 drives the second sliding member 30 to switch between the shielding position and the avoidance position through the transmission mechanism. A fifth through hole 41 is provided on the third sliding member 40, and the fifth through hole 41 can be aligned with the first through hole 11 on the base 10, so as to allow the first electrode terminal of the power plug to be inserted into the first connector 211 through the fifth through hole 41 and the first through hole 11.

[0048] When the second sliding member 30 is in the avoidance position, the third through hole 21 and the fourth through hole 31 are aligned with the second through hole 12 on the base 10, and the second electrode terminal of the power plug can be inserted into the second plug-in member 212 on the socket body 210 through the third through hole 21, the fourth through hole 31 and the second through hole 12. In addition, the fifth through hole 41 is also aligned with the first through hole 11 on the base 10, so that the first electrode terminal of the power plug can be inserted into the first plug-in member 211 on the socket body 210 through the fifth through hole 41 and the first through hole 11.

[0049] When the second sliding member 30 is in the shielding position, the third through hole 21 and the fourth through hole 31 are staggered with the second through hole 12 on the base 10. At this time, the second electrode terminal of the power plug cannot contact the second plug connector 212 on the socket body 210 through the third through hole 21, the fourth through hole 31 and the second through hole 12, thereby preventing accidental electric shock. In this case, the fifth through hole 41 is also staggered with the first through hole 11 on the base 10, which can prevent the first electrode terminal of the power plug from contacting the first plug connector 211 on the socket body 210, further enhancing safety.

[0050] With this arrangement, the first sliding member 20 of the protection door 100 can provide safety protection for the second plug-in connector 212, and the third sliding member 40 can provide safety protection for the first plug-in connector 211. At the same time, the second sliding member 30 and the third sliding member 40 are linked to ensure that the first plug-in connector 211 and the second plug-in connector 212 are exposed or shielded at the same time, thereby improving the safety of the protection door 100 and the DC socket. In addition, the first sliding member 20 and the third sliding member 40 have different movement directions, which reduces the possibility of mutual interference, thereby helping to save space.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a groove 42 is provided at one end of the third sliding member 40 facing the first sliding member 20. A protrusion 23 is provided at one end of the first sliding member 20 facing the third sliding member 40, and the protrusion 23 can be inserted into the groove 42 of the third sliding member 40.

[0052] When the second sliding member 30 is in the shielding position, the protrusion 23 can be inserted into the groove 42. The combination of the groove 42 and the protrusion 23 can prevent the third sliding member 40 from continuing to slide along the second direction, so that the entire protection door 100 is in a stable state.

[0053] When the third sliding member 40 slides, the third sliding member 40 drives the second sliding member 30 to move from the shielding position to the avoidance position through the transmission mechanism, so that the groove 42 and the protrusion 23 are separated. When the third sliding member 40 continues to slide, the fourth through hole 31 can be aligned with the second through hole 12, and the fifth through hole 41 can also be aligned with the first through hole 11.

[0054] When the DC socket is not needed, the second sliding member 30 is moved from the avoidance position back to the shielding position. At this time, the protrusion 23 is inserted into the groove 42 again to limit the movement of the third sliding member 40, so that the protection door 100 returns to the initial state.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second sliding member 30 and the third sliding member 40 can achieve mutual driving through the contact of two inclined surfaces.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a first inclined surface 43 is provided at one end of the third sliding member 40 facing the second sliding member 30. A driving portion 32 is provided at one end of the second sliding member 30 facing the third sliding member 40, and a second inclined surface 33 is provided at one side of the driving portion 32 facing the first inclined surface 43. The second inclined surface 33 contacts the first inclined surface 43 on the third sliding member 40, and power can be transmitted, thereby realizing the linkage between the second sliding member 30 and the third sliding member 40.

[0057] When the third sliding member 40 and the second sliding member 30 are mounted on the base 10, the first inclined surface 43 and the second inclined surface 33 will contact and abut against each other. When one of the third sliding member 40 and the second sliding member 30 starts to slide, the interaction between the first inclined surface 43 and the second inclined surface 33 will cause the other sliding member to slide along.

[0058] By utilizing the linkage structure between the second sliding member 30 and the third sliding member 40 , it can be ensured that the first connector 211 and the second connector 212 are exposed or shielded at the same time, thereby improving the safety of the protective door 100 and the DC socket.

[0059] In some embodiments,Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in Figure 3 , a chute 22 is provided on one side of the first slider 20 facing the base 10, and the second slider 30 is disposed within the chute 22.

[0060] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the second slider 30 can be received within the chute 22, enabling the second slider 30 to slide between the first slider 20 and the base 10. With this arrangement, the chute 22 not only provides guidance and support for the second slider 30 but also restricts its range of motion, ensuring that the second slider 30 can slide smoothly along the first direction.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the protection door 100 further includes a first elastic member 51 and a second elastic member 52. The first elastic member 51 and the second elastic member 52 can drive the first slider 20, the second slider 30, and the third slider 40 to move to the blocking position.

[0062] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, one end of the first elastic member 51 is coupled to the base 10, and the other end is coupled to the first slider 20. The first elastic member 51 is configured to apply a force to the first slider 20 to misalign the third through-hole 21 on the first slider 20 with the second through-hole 12 on the base 10. That is, the first elastic member 51 can drive the first slider 20 to move to the blocking position, at which time the third through-hole 21 is misaligned with the second through-hole 12, thereby preventing the second electrode terminal of the power plug from contacting the second socket member 212 on the socket body 210.

[0063] One end of the second elastic member 52 is coupled to the base 10, and the other end is coupled to the second slider 30. The second elastic member 52 is configured to apply a force to the second slider 30 to misalign the fourth through-hole 31 with the second through-hole 12. The second elastic member 52 can drive the second slider 30 to move to the blocking position, at which time the fourth through-hole 31 is misaligned with the second through-hole 12, thereby preventing the second electrode terminal of the power plug from contacting the second socket member 212 on the socket body 210.

[0064] With this arrangement, when the user needs to use the DC socket, the DC plug needs to overcome the forces of the first elastic member 51 and the second elastic member 52 to align the third through-hole 21 and the fourth through-hole 31 with the second through-hole 12 before allowing the power plug to be inserted, which can ensure the safety of the DC socket.

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, one end of the first sliding member 20 away from the third sliding member 40 is provided with a first protrusion 24, and one end of the second sliding member 30 away from the third sliding member 40 is provided with a second protrusion 34. A baffle 16 is provided on the side of the first sliding member 20 away from the third sliding member 40, and the baffle 16 is fixed to the base 10. One end of the first elastic member 51 is coupled to the first protrusion 24, and the other end is coupled to the baffle 16. One end of the second elastic member 52 is coupled to the second protrusion 34, and the other end is coupled to the baffle 16.

[0066] With this arrangement, the baffle 16 can provide a fixed fulcrum for the first elastic member 51 and the second elastic member 52, and at the same time also provides a boundary for the movement of the first sliding member 20 and the second sliding member 30, ensuring that the first sliding member 20 and the second sliding member 30 do not deviate from the track.

[0067] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, a first limiting groove 25 is provided on the side of the first sliding member 20 facing the base 10, a second limiting groove 35 is provided on the side of the second sliding member 30 facing the base 10, and a third limiting groove 44 is provided on the side of the third sliding member 40 facing the base 10.

[0068] A first slide rail 13 is provided on the side of the base 10 facing the first sliding member 20. The first slide rail 13 can cooperate with the first limiting groove 25 to guide the first sliding member 20 to slide along the first direction. A second slide rail 14 is provided on the side of the base 10 facing the second sliding member 30. The second slide rail 14 can cooperate with the second limiting groove 35 to guide the second sliding member 30 to slide along the first direction. A third slide rail 15 is provided on the side of the base 10 facing the third sliding member 40. The third slide rail 15 can cooperate with the third limiting groove 44 to guide the third sliding member 40 to slide along the second direction.

[0069] With this arrangement, by providing a limiting groove on the side of each sliding member facing the base 10 and providing a corresponding slide rail on the base 10 to cooperate with the limiting groove, it can be ensured that the first sliding member 20, the second sliding member 30, and the third sliding member 40 slide smoothly along a predetermined direction. At the same time, the actions between the respective sliding members can also be coordinated, so that the protection door 100 operates effectively.

[0070] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the protection door 100 further includes a first limiting rib 17 and a second limiting rib 18 that intersect each other. The first limiting rib 17 and the second limiting rib 18 can respectively abut against the outer sidewall of the third sliding member 40 to provide positioning for the third sliding member 40.

[0071] As Figure 2As shown, a first limiting rib 17 and a second rib perpendicular to each other are provided on the base 10. The first limiting rib 17 contacts the side wall of the third sliding member 40, and can limit the third sliding member 40 from sliding in the second direction. The second limiting rib 18 is provided at one end of the third sliding member 40, and can limit the range of movement of the third sliding member 40 in the second direction. That is to say, the third sliding member 40 stops moving when it abuts against the second limiting rib 18.

[0072] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the first sliding member 20 further includes a first guiding inclined surface 26, and the third sliding member 40 further includes a second guiding inclined surface 45. The first guiding inclined surface 26 and the second guiding inclined surface 45 are helpful for the user to operate the docking of the DC power plug and the DC socket.

[0073] As Figure 2 shown, the first guiding inclined surface 26 is provided at the edge of the third through hole 21 of the first sliding member 20. When the user attempts to insert the second electrode terminal of the DC plug into the third through hole 21, the first guiding inclined surface 26 can guide the second electrode terminal to be aligned and inserted into the third through hole 21. The first guiding inclined surface 26 helps to reduce the frictional force during insertion, ensuring that the second electrode terminal can smoothly enter the third through hole 21. The second guiding inclined surface 45 is provided at the edge of the fifth through hole 41 of the third sliding member 40. When the user attempts to insert the first electrode terminal of the DC plug into the fifth through hole 41, the second guiding inclined surface 45 can guide the first electrode terminal to be aligned and inserted into the fifth through hole 41.

[0074] With this arrangement, the first guiding inclined surface 26 and the second guiding inclined surface 45 can improve the convenience for the user to insert the plug, thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the power connection.

[0075] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the protection door 100 further includes a fixing member 60. The fixing member 60 is installed on the base 10, and can maintain the positional relationship between the first sliding member 20, the second sliding member 30, the third sliding member 40 and the base 10, thereby preventing the sliding members from detaching from the base 10. Secondly, the fixing member 60 can also connect the body 210 of the DC socket and the panel assembly 220 together.

[0076] As Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the fixing member 60 includes a cover plate 61 and a side plate 62. The cover plate 61 provides a flat surface. A sixth through hole 63 and a seventh through hole 64 are provided on the cover plate 61. The position of the sixth through hole 63 corresponds to the first through hole 11 on the base 10. When the cover plate 61 is combined with the base 10, the sixth through hole 63 is aligned with the first through hole 11, allowing the first electrode terminal of the power plug to pass through the sixth through hole 63 and connect to the first connector 211 on the socket body 210. The position of the seventh through hole 64 corresponds to the second through hole 12 on the base 10. When the cover plate 61 is combined with the base 10, the seventh through hole 64 is aligned with the second through hole 12, allowing the second electrode terminal of the power plug to pass through the seventh through hole 64 and connect to the second connector 212 on the socket body 210.

[0077] The side plate 62 is arranged on the side of the cover plate 61 facing the base 10, and the side plate 62 is arranged around the edge of the cover plate 61. The side plate 62 and the cover plate 61 together form a receiving groove 65, and the receiving groove 65 can receive and fix the base 10, so that the base 10 is fixed in the receiving groove 65. In addition, the first sliding member 20, the second sliding member 30 and the third sliding member 40 are located between the cover plate 61 and the base 10, which can prevent the sliding members from detaching from the base 10.

[0078] In the second aspect of the present disclosure, as Figures 5 to 7 shown, a socket is provided. The socket includes a body 210, a panel assembly 220 and a protection door 100 of any one of the above. The body 210 includes a first connector 211 and a second connector 212. The base 10 of the protection door 100 is coupled to the body 210. The panel assembly 220 is coupled to the protection door 100.

[0079] As Figures 5 to 6 shown, the first connector 211 can connect to the first electrode terminal of the DC power plug, and the second connector 212 can connect to the second electrode terminal of the DC power plug. The base 10 of the protection door 100 can be directly mounted on the body 210 of the DC socket. The panel assembly 220 is mounted on the fixing member 60 of the protection door 100 and can form the external structure of the DC socket.

[0080] With this arrangement, the panel assembly 220 can not only beautify the appearance of the DC socket, but also provide necessary user interfaces, such as jacks, switch buttons or indicator lights, etc., which can facilitate the use of users. The protection door 100 can block the connectors of the DC socket when not in use to prevent accidental electric shock. When the socket needs to be used, the user can open the protection door 100 through the second electrode terminal and the first electrode terminal of the power plug, so that the first connector 211 and the second connector 212 are exposed for inserting the power plug.

[0081] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 andFigure 7 As shown, the protection door 100 and the panel assembly 220 can be connected together by means of a snap 621.

[0082] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the panel assembly 220 includes a panel 221 and a frame 222. The panel 221 is disposed on the side of the fixing member 60 away from the base 10, that is, the side facing the user. A slot 223 is provided on the frame 222, and the slot 223 can cooperate with the snap 621 on the fixing member 60, so as to realize the connection between the panel assembly 220 and the protection door 100.

[0083] With this arrangement, when assembling the protection door 100, the frame 222 of the panel assembly 220 can be combined with the panel 221, and then the slot 223 on the frame 222 is matched with the snap 621 on the fixing member 60, so that the panel assembly 220 is connected to the protection door 100. The coupling of the slot 223 and the snap 621 not only ensures the stability between the panel assembly 220 and the protection door 100, but also simplifies the assembly process.

[0084] In some alternative embodiments, multiple sets of bodies 210 and multiple sets of protection doors 100 can be provided on a DC socket. At this time, the multiple sets of bodies 210 are respectively coupled to the multiple sets of protection doors 100. In addition, multiple sets of jacks can be provided on the panel 221 of the panel assembly 220, and the multiple sets of jacks correspond to the multiple sets of bodies 210 respectively. With this arrangement, the DC socket can provide multiple power supply services for users at the same time.

[0085] The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above. The above description is exemplary and not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The choice of terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical applications, or improvements to technologies in the market, or to enable other ordinary skill in the art in the technical field to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
