[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4The utility model proposes a socket assembly 100, comprising at least one group of splicing frame assemblies 10 and at least one group of conductive assemblies 20. At least one group of splicing frame assemblies 10 comprises at least two splicing frames 11, and at least two splicing frames 11 can be spliced ​​end to end in sequence to form an annular structure, and the splicing frame 11 comprises a first splicing portion 111 and a second splicing portion 112, and the first splicing portion 111 and the second splicing portion 112 are arranged on opposite sides of the splicing frame 11 along a first direction of the splicing frame 11, and the first splicing portion 111 is engaged with the second splicing portion 112 in the adjacent splicing frame 11 to realize a detachable connection between two adjacent splicing frames 11. At least one group of conductive assemblies 20 is installed in the corresponding annular structure, and at least one group of conductive assemblies 20 has an exposed end 21 exposed outside the annular structure.

[0038] In this embodiment, by installing the conductive component 20 in the annular structure and partially exposing it, it can be ensured that when the socket assembly 100 is used, whether the plug is inserted or removed, the conductive component 20 can maintain good conductive performance.

[0039] Since the structures of the splicing frames 11 are the same, the splicing frames 11 can be manufactured without changing the mold, the mold opening difficulty is low, the production process is small, the production cycle is short, and the production cost is low. Moreover, the splicing frame assembly 10 of the present application is assembled by using multiple splicing frames 11 with the same structure, which has a simple structure and high assembly efficiency.

[0040] It should be noted that the first direction can be the length direction of the splicing frame 11 or the width direction of the splicing frame 11. As long as the first splicing portion 111 and the second splicing portion 112 are arranged on opposite sides of the splicing frame 11 and can splice two adjacent splicing frames 11, the embodiment of the present application is not limited here.

[0041] It should be understood that the number of the splicing frames 11 can be two, or three or more, to form a triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon or other polygonal ring structure to meet the installation or aesthetic requirements of different situations. Exemplarily, the number of the splicing frames 11 is set to two, and the shapes of the two splicing frames 11 can both be L-shaped structures or semicircular arc structures. The two splicing frames 11 are butt-jointed to form a ring structure, with a small number of parts, which is convenient for production and assembly.

[0042] In this embodiment, the number of the splicing frames 11 is set to four, and the four splicing frames 11 are enclosed to form a quadrilateral structure, which is convenient for storing the conductive component 20. Of course, the number of the splicing frames 11 can also be increased or decreased to form a splicing frame assembly 10 of various shapes, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

[0043] To achieve the detachable assembly of the socket assembly 100 and improve the assembly efficiency, one of the first splicing portion 111 and the second splicing portion 112 is a buckle, and the other is a slot that cooperates with the buckle. When assembling the splicing frame 11, the buckle of one splicing frame 11 is inserted into the slot of the other splicing frame 11, and the two splicing frames 11 can be assembled by the cooperation of the buckle and the slot; when disassembling the two splicing frames 11, in the case of power off, the adjacent two splicing frames 11 can be disassembled by separating the buckle from the slot. The use of the above detachable connection structure makes the assembly and disassembly of the socket assembly 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application very convenient and fast.

[0044] Of course, in other embodiments, the first splicing portion 111 and the second splicing portion 112 may also be other cooperating detachable connection structures, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this here.

[0045] In some embodiments, there are two first splicing portions 111 and two second splicing portions 112, and each first splicing portion 111 is in a snap-fit with one second splicing portion 112. Among them, the two first splicing portions 111 and the two second splicing portions 112 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, so that when the two splicing frames 11 are connected, each first splicing portion 111 can be in a snap-fit with one second splicing portion 112 to further improve the connection stability between the adjacent two splicing frames 11.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the numbers of the first splicing portion 111 and the second splicing portion 112 may also be other, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this here.

[0047] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the splicing frame assembly 10 is provided with at least two groups, and the at least two groups of splicing frame assemblies 10 are detachably connected;

[0048] Among them, the splicing frame 11 further includes a third splicing portion 113 and a fourth splicing portion 114. The third splicing portion 113 and the fourth splicing portion 114 are arranged on opposite sides of the splicing frame 11 along the second direction of the splicing frame 11. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the third splicing portion 113 is in a snap-fit with the fourth splicing portion 114 in the adjacent splicing frame assembly 10 to achieve the detachable connection of the adjacent two groups of splicing frame assemblies 10.

[0049] In this embodiment, the adjacent two groups of splicing frame assemblies 10 are detachably connected through the snap-fit of the third splicing portion 113 and the fourth splicing portion 114. The assembly is convenient and fast, and different layer structures of the socket assembly 100 can be formed by increasing or decreasing the number of splicing frame assemblies 10 to meet different usage requirements.

[0050] It should be understood that the number of splicing frame components 10 can be two groups, three groups or more than three groups to meet the installation or aesthetic requirements in different situations, and the embodiments of the present application do not make limitations here.

[0051] In some embodiments, one of the third splicing part 113 and the fourth splicing part 114 is a plug post, and the other is a plug slot that cooperates with the plug post, realizing the detachable assembly of the splicing frame component 10 and improving the assembly efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments, the third splicing part 113 and the fourth splicing part 114 can also be other detachable connection structures that cooperate, and the embodiments of the present application do not make limitations here.

[0052] In some embodiments, there are two third splicing parts 113 and two fourth splicing parts 114, and each third splicing part 113 cooperates with one fourth splicing part 114. Among them, the two third splicing parts 113 and the two fourth splicing parts 114 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, so that when two splicing frame components 10 are connected, each third splicing part 113 can be in clamping cooperation with one fourth splicing part 114 to further improve the connection stability between two adjacent splicing frame components 10.

[0053] Of course, in other embodiments, the numbers of the third splicing part 113 and the fourth splicing part 114 can also be other numbers, and the embodiments of the present application do not make limitations here.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 4 , there are at least two groups of conductive components 20, and each group of conductive components 20 is installed in a corresponding annular structure. Each conductive component 20 includes a positive conductive sheet 22 and a negative conductive sheet 23. The positive conductive sheet 22 and the negative conductive sheet 23 are respectively accommodated in the annular structure. The positive conductive sheet 22 has a first exposed end 221 exposed outside the annular structure, and the negative conductive sheet 23 has a second exposed end 231 exposed outside the annular structure;

[0055] The socket assembly 100 further includes a first conductive connector 31 and a second conductive connector. The first conductive connector 31 is arranged outside the annular structure and is used for electrically connecting the first exposed ends 221 of at least two groups of conductive components 20. The second conductive connector is arranged outside the annular structure and is used for electrically connecting the second exposed ends 231 of at least two groups of conductive components 20. In this way, when multiple splicing frame components 10 are spliced together, the positive conductive sheets 22 with the same polarity and the negative conductive sheets 23 with the same polarity among the respective conductive components 20 are electrically connected together respectively. At the same time, the first conductive connector 31 and the second conductive connector are respectively used to connect the positive conductive sheets 22 with the same polarity and the negative conductive sheets 23 with the same polarity, which is convenient for connection and power-on, and has few welding points and is convenient and fast to assemble.

[0056] As an implementation manner, both the first conductive connecting member 31 and the second conductive connecting member can be made of copper sheets, which have excellent electrical conductivity and can also ensure the connection stability of the positive electrode conductive sheet 22 and the negative electrode conductive sheet 23.

[0057] In this embodiment, the splicing frame 11 is provided with a first placement groove 115 and a second placement groove 116 on the inner side of the annular structure. One of the first placement groove 115 and the second placement groove 116 is used to place the positive electrode conductive sheet 22, and the other is used to place the negative electrode conductive sheet 23, so as to separate the positive electrode conductive sheet 22 and the negative electrode conductive sheet 23 to avoid short circuit caused by their contact and improve the use safety of the socket assembly 100.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first exposed ends 221 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the first conductive connecting member 31 extends along the second direction to electrically connect the first exposed ends 221 of at least two groups of conductive components 20. This design allows the first conductive connecting member 31 to extend in the second direction, so that it can contact and connect the first exposed ends 221 of at least two groups of conductive components 20. Such a design not only ensures the stability and reliability of the electrical connection, but also improves the assembly efficiency of the entire socket assembly 100 and strengthens the stability of the entire structure.

[0059] Similarly, the second exposed ends 231 can also be arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the second conductive connecting member extends along the second direction to electrically connect the second exposed ends 231 of at least two groups of conductive components 20, improving the electrical connection stability and facilitating assembly.

[0060] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the conductive component 20 further includes a grounding conductive sheet. Similarly, the grounding conductive sheet is also accommodated in the annular structure and has a third exposed end exposed outside the annular structure; the socket assembly 100 further includes a third conductive connecting member, and the third conductive connecting member is used to electrically connect the third exposed ends on different splicing frame assemblies 10 so that the jacks of the socket assembly 100 have a grounding function.

[0061] In some embodiments, the splicing frame 11 is provided with a first positioning protrusion 118 on the outer side of the annular structure, and the first conductive connecting member 31 is provided with a first positioning groove. The first positioning protrusion 118 is inserted and matched with the first positioning groove to connect the splicing frame 11 and the first conductive connecting member 31, facilitating the installation pre-positioning of the first conductive connecting member 31 and preventing the first conductive connecting member 31 from easily shifting after welding, thereby improving the installation stability of the first conductive connecting member 31.

[0062] Similarly, the splicing frame 11 is also provided with a second positioning protrusion on the outer side of the annular structure, and the second conductive connecting member is provided with a second positioning groove. The second positioning protrusion is inserted and matched with the second positioning groove to connect the splicing frame 11 and the second conductive connecting member.

[0063] In some embodiments, the splicing frame 11 is provided with a mounting groove 117 on the outer side of the annular structure, and the mounting groove 117 is used for mounting the safety door 40.

[0064] In this embodiment, by providing a mounting groove 117 on the outer side of the splicing frame 11 located in the annular structure for mounting the safety door 40, the safety door 40 is located at the jack on the splicing frame 11, and the safety door 40 is a physical structure of a sliding baffle. When the socket assembly 100 is not in use, the safety door 40 blocks the jack on the splicing frame 11 to prevent children or others from getting an electric shock due to accidental contact with the jack, effectively preventing external objects or curious children from inserting conductive objects into the jack, thus avoiding the risk of electric shock and improving the safety of the socket assembly 100.

[0065] In addition, the positive conductive sheet 22, negative conductive sheet 23, and grounding conductive sheet provided in the socket assembly 100 in this embodiment can be designed to form different national standard arrangement shapes according to requirements. For example, it can be the arrangement shape of a US standard jack, or the arrangement shape of a UK standard jack, or the arrangement shape of other national standard jacks, which are not specifically limited herein.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the present utility model also provides a socket 200, which includes a housing 201 and a socket assembly 100, and the socket assembly 100 is disposed inside the housing 201. Since the socket 200 adopts all the technical solutions of all the embodiments of the above socket assembly 100, the socket 200 of the present utility model also has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated herein one by one.

[0067] The above embodiments of the present utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solutions of the present utility model still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
