[0002] A socket is a device for taking power. By inserting a plug into the jack of the socket, the electrode piece in the socket is electrically connected to the insertion piece of the plug to achieve power taking. To prevent electric leakage, a slidable stopper is usually arranged in the socket. When the plug is not inserted into the jack, the stopper blocks the jack to prevent other conductive objects from extending into the jack and causing electric leakage.

[0003] However, when the plug is not inserted into the jack, the electrode piece in the socket is still charged, and the stopper in the socket can only play a role in isolating solids, and its airtightness and waterproofness are not good. When conductive liquid enters the jack, or when the air humidity is high, there is still a risk of electric leakage in the socket. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the above deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a protection structure for a socket and a socket, which are used to solve the problems such as the electrode piece in the socket is always charged and there is a risk of electric leakage in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problem is a protection structure for a socket. The socket includes a base and an upper cover. A sliding block and an electrode piece for electrically connecting with a plug are arranged on the base. The upper cover is provided with a jack into which the plug can be inserted. The plug is inserted into the jack to drive the sliding block to slide. The protection structure includes:

[0006] A first connection piece and a second connection piece. The first connection piece is electrically connected to an external circuit, and the second connection piece is electrically connected to the electrode piece;

[0007] A conductive connection piece, which has a disconnected state and a connected state. In the disconnected state, the conductive connection piece is disconnected from the first connection piece and / or the second connection piece; in the connected state, the conductive connection piece is electrically connected to the first connection piece and the second connection piece at the same time. Slide the sliding block to enable the conductive connection piece to be arbitrarily switched between the disconnected state and the connected state.

[0008] Further, the conductive connection piece is an elastic piece, and the elastic piece is configured to allow it to deform from the disconnected state to the connected state and return from the connected state to the disconnected state.

[0009] Further, one end of the conductive connection piece is fixedly connected to the first connection piece or the second connection piece, a first contact is provided at the other end of the conductive connection piece, a second contact is provided on the second connection piece or the first connection piece, and the first contact can be separated from or in contact with the second contact.

[0010] Further, the conductive connection piece has a bent section.

[0011] Further, in the disconnected state, both the first connection piece and the second connection piece are disconnected from the conductive connection piece;

[0012] The conductive connection piece can slide in a direction towards or away from the first connection piece / the second connection piece to connect or disconnect the first connection piece or the second connection piece.

[0013] Further, the conductive connection piece is arranged on the sliding block.

[0014] Further, a buffer block is provided on the sliding block, a spring is provided between the buffer block and the sliding block, and the buffer block can be in contact with or separated from the conductive connection piece.

[0015] Further, a socket is also disclosed, which includes the protection structure for the socket described above.

[0016] Further, the socket has at least two of the electrode pieces, each of the electrode pieces is provided with one of the protection structures for the socket, and the sliding block drives the two conductive connection pieces to connect or disconnect the electrode pieces at the same time.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) The first connection piece and the second connection piece are provided. When the plug is not inserted into the jack, the conductive connection piece is disconnected from the first connection piece and / or the second connection piece, and at this time the electrode piece is not charged; when the plug is inserted into the jack, the insertion piece on the plug pushes the conductive connection piece to connect the first connection piece and the second connection piece, and at this time the electrode piece is charged. In this way, it can be realized that power can be taken smoothly after the plug is inserted into the jack, the electrode piece is not charged when the plug is not inserted into the jack, and even if water enters the jack, there is no danger of electric leakage, improving safety.

[0019] (2) One end of the conductive connecting piece is fixedly connected to the first connecting piece, and a bending section is provided at one end of the conductive connecting piece close to the first connecting piece. The setting of this bending section can enable the conductive connecting piece to have a large deformation amount, so as to facilitate the contact between the first contact and the second contact to achieve smooth power taking. At the same time, the large deformation amount of the conductive connecting piece can also make the first contact and the second contact have a large interval when in the disconnected state. Even if water enters this place, it is difficult to connect the first contact and the second contact, further improving the safety.

[0020] (3) A buffer block is provided, and a spring is provided between the buffer block and the sliding block. When the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece have been conducted through the conductive connecting piece, and the sliding block still has a displacement amount in the direction of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece, at this time, this extra displacement amount can compress the spring to avoid excessive force on the first connecting piece, the second connecting piece and the conductive connecting piece and cause damage. At the same time, in the connected state, the spring is in a compressed state, so that the spring can exert a force on the conductive connecting piece in the direction of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece, and further make the conductive connecting piece always maintain the connection with the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece in the connected state, and the power taking is more stable.

[0027] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and in combination with the drawings, the technical solutions of the present invention are further described, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3, the present utility model discloses a protection structure for a socket. The socket includes a base 100 and an upper cover 200. The base 100 is provided with a sliding block 140 and electrode plates for electrically connecting with a plug. The upper cover 200 is provided with a jack 210 into which the plug can be inserted. When the plug is inserted into the jack 210, the sliding block 140 is driven to slide. The protection structure includes:

[0029] A first connecting piece 110 and a second connecting piece 120. The first connecting piece 110 is electrically connected to an external circuit, and the second connecting piece 120 is electrically connected to the electrode plate;

[0030] A conductive connecting piece 130, which has a disconnected state and a connected state. In the disconnected state, the conductive connecting piece 130 is disconnected from the first connecting piece 110 and / or the second connecting piece 120; in the connected state, the conductive connecting piece 130 is electrically connected to both the first connecting piece 110 and the second connecting piece 120 at the same time. Slide the sliding block 140 to arbitrarily switch the conductive connecting piece 130 between the disconnected state and the connected state.

[0031] Specifically, in this application, the first connecting piece 110 and the second connecting piece 120 are provided. When the plug is not inserted into the jack 210, the conductive connecting piece 130 is disconnected from the first connecting piece 110 and / or the second connecting piece 120, and at this time the electrode plate is not charged; when the plug is inserted into the jack 210, the insertion piece on the plug pushes the conductive connecting piece 130 to connect the first connecting piece 110 and the second connecting piece 120, and at this time the electrode plate is charged. In this way, it can be realized that power can be smoothly obtained after the plug is inserted into the jack 210, the electrode plate is not charged when the plug is not inserted into the jack 210, and even if water enters the jack 210, there is no danger of electric leakage, improving safety.

[0032] Further, the conductive connecting piece 130 is an elastic piece, and the elastic piece is configured to be allowed to deform from the disconnected state to the connected state and return from the connected state to the disconnected state.

[0033] Further, one end of the conductive connecting piece 130 is fixedly connected to the first connecting piece 110 or the second connecting piece 120, a first contact 131 is provided at the other end of the conductive connecting piece 130, and a second contact 121 is provided on the second connecting piece 120 or the first connecting piece 110. The first contact 131 can be separated from or in contact with the second contact 121.

[0034] Specifically, the conductive connecting piece 130 is an elastic piece with a certain amount of deformation. In the disconnected state, one end of the conductive connecting piece 130 is fixedly connected to the first connecting piece 110, and the other end is separated from the second connecting piece 120, or one end is fixedly connected to the second connecting piece 120 and the other end is separated from the first connecting piece 110. At this time, the connection between the first connecting piece 110 and the second connecting piece 120 is disconnected; when the conductive connecting piece 130 is deformed to the connected state, the conductive connecting piece 130 is deformed so that one end thereof is connected to the first connecting piece 110, and at the same time, the first contact 131 at the other end contacts the second contact 121 of the second connecting piece 120. At this time, the first connecting piece 110 and the second connecting piece 120 are connected, and the electrode piece is energized.

[0035] Further, the conductive connecting piece 130 has a bending section 132.

[0036] Specifically, one end of the conductive connecting piece 130 is fixedly connected to the first connecting piece 110, and a bending section 132 is provided at one end of the conductive connecting piece 130 close to the first connecting piece 110. The setting of the bending section 132 enables the conductive connecting piece 130 to have a large amount of deformation, so as to facilitate the contact between the first contact 131 and the second contact 121 to achieve smooth power taking. At the same time, the large amount of deformation of the conductive connecting piece 130 can also make the first contact 131 and the second contact 121 have a large gap in the disconnected state. Even if water enters this place, it is difficult to connect the first contact 131 and the second contact 121, further improving the safety.

[0037] Further, in the disconnected state, both the first connecting piece 110 and the second connecting piece 120 are disconnected from the conductive connecting piece 130;

[0038] The conductive connecting piece 130 can slide in the direction towards or away from the first connecting piece 110 / the second connecting piece 120 to connect or disconnect the first connecting piece 110 or the second connecting piece 120.

[0039] Further, the conductive connecting piece 130 is arranged on the sliding block 140.

[0040] The present application can also provide another embodiment of the conductive connection piece 130. Specifically, the conductive connection piece 130 itself has no deformation or very little deformation, and it is arranged on the sliding block 140 and slides together with the sliding block 140. In the disconnected state, both the first connection piece 110 and the second connection piece 120 are separated from the conductive connection piece 130. In the connected state, the conductive connection piece 130 slides towards the first connection piece 110 and the second connection piece 120 along with the sliding block 140 until the conductive connection piece 130 simultaneously contacts the first connection piece 110 and the second connection piece 120, thereby realizing the conduction between the first connection piece 110 and the second connection piece 120 and further realizing power taking.

[0041] It should be noted that the related settings of the sliding block 140 are prior art, so they will not be elaborated in this application. Generally, an inclined surface is provided on the upper surface of the sliding block 140. When the plug is inserted into the jack 210, the insertion piece slides on the inclined surface and simultaneously pushes the sliding block 140 to slide in a predetermined direction. When the plug is withdrawn from the jack 210, the sliding block 140 resets under the action of the return spring and blocks the jack 210 again.

[0042] Furthermore, a buffer block 141 is provided on the sliding block 140, a spring 142 is provided between the buffer block 141 and the sliding block 140, and the buffer block 141 can abut against or separate from the conductive connection piece 130.

[0043] Specifically, the buffer block 141 is provided and the spring 142 is provided between the buffer block 141 and the sliding block 140. When the first connection piece 110 and the second connection piece 120 have been conducted through the conductive connection piece 130 and the sliding block 140 still has a displacement amount in the direction of the first connection piece 110 and the second connection piece 120, at this time, this excess displacement amount can compress the spring 142 to avoid excessive force and damage between the first connection piece 110, the second connection piece 120 and the conductive connection piece 130.

[0044] At the same time, in the connected state, the spring 142 is in a compressed state, so that the spring 142 can exert a force on the conductive connection piece 130 in the direction of the first connection piece 110 and the second connection piece 120, thereby enabling the conductive connection piece 130 to always maintain the connection with the first connection piece 110 and the second connection piece 120 in the connected state and making power taking more stable.

[0045] Furthermore, a socket is also disclosed, including the protection structure for the socket described above.

[0046] Furthermore, the socket has at least two of the electrode pieces, each of the electrode pieces is provided with one of the protection structures for the socket, and the sliding block 140 simultaneously drives the two conductive connection pieces 130 to connect or disconnect the electrode pieces.

[0047] Specifically, a protection structure is respectively provided for the electrode pieces of the live wire and the neutral wire on the socket, and the conductive connection pieces 130 in these two protection structures are driven by the same sliding block 140 to achieve the synchronous movement of the two conductive connection pieces 130.

[0048] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If this specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features.

For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two components or the interaction relationship between two components, unless otherwise clearly defined. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0051] In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present invention.
