[0002] At present, in the fixed sockets with overload protection on the market, the overload protection device is usually made into a module and exists in the socket. As an encapsulated individual, this overload protection device is connected to the external circuit through special pins. The general connection methods are welding, riveting or spot welding, etc. As an encapsulated individual, the internal space of the overload protection device is closed and not easy to dissipate heat. At the same time, the fixed socket is also embedded in the wall and is not easy to dissipate heat itself. The combination of the two places relatively high requirements for the temperature rise of the product and is prone to safety hazards. In addition, the pins are generally straight or bent at a certain angle, with a single structure, which is not conducive to the structural design of the conductive parts cooperating with them inside. In addition, the outer shell of the overload protection device is generally made of PA66, and the material cost is relatively high, which is not conducive to cost control. Therefore, in the prior art, the overload protection device is not used as an encapsulated individual, but is directly arranged in the socket.

[0041] The following embodiments given in conjunction with the attached drawings further illustrate the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0042] As Figures 1-4 shown, the socket with overload protection in this embodiment includes a housing and an overload protection component 2, a socket sleeve component 3, and a wiring terminal component 4 arranged inside the housing.

[0043] The housing is provided with jacks corresponding to the socket assembly 3 for inserting plugs; the jacks include two-pin jacks and / or three-pin jacks. The housing of this embodiment includes a base 1 and a panel assembly 5 covering the base 1. The overload protection assembly 2, the socket assembly 3, and the terminal block assembly 4 are installed between the base 1 and the panel assembly 5. Of course, as other embodiments, the housing can also adopt other combination methods. The socket assembly 3 of this embodiment includes an L-pole socket 31, a ground-pole socket 32, and an N-pole socket 33; the terminal block assembly 4 includes an L-pole terminal 41, a ground-pole terminal 42, and an N-pole terminal 43; the L-pole socket 31, the ground-pole socket 32, and the N-pole socket 33 are respectively connected to the corresponding terminals of the terminal block assembly 4. Of course, as other embodiments, the socket assembly 3 can also be provided with only the L-pole socket 31 and the N-pole socket 33, without the ground-pole socket 32.

[0044] The overload protection assembly 2 includes a shrapnel 22, a button 27, and a spring pressing member 23. The L-pole socket 31 is electrically connected to the L-pole terminal 41 to form a power supply line for the L-pole socket 31, and the N-pole socket 33 is electrically connected to the N-pole terminal 43 to form a power supply line for the N-pole terminal 43; the shrapnel 22 is connected in series in the power supply line of the L-pole socket 31. The shrapnel 22 is an elastic structure that can generate heat and deform. One end of the shrapnel 22 is fixedly arranged and connected to the power supply line of the L-pole socket 31. The movable end of the shrapnel 22 can be switched between a first position and a second position. When the movable end of the shrapnel 22 is in the first position, it is connected to the power supply line of the L-pole socket 31 in a contacting manner to conduct the power supply line of the L-pole socket 31. When the current flowing through the shrapnel 22 is too large during overload, the shrapnel 22 is heated and deformed, driving the movable end to move from the first position to the second position to separate from the power supply line of the L-pole socket 31, disconnecting the power supply line of the L-pole socket 31, and realizing overload protection.

[0045] The elastic piece 22 is a bimetallic strip. In this embodiment, the elastic piece 22 is fixedly arranged on the L pole piece 21. The elastic piece 22 is electrically connected to the L pole wiring terminal 41 through the L pole piece 21. A moving contact 25 is arranged at the movable end of the elastic piece 22, and a static contact 26 is arranged on the L pole socket 31. The moving contact 25 on the elastic piece 22 is in contact connection with the static contact 26 to conduct the power supply line of the L pole socket 31. When the moving contact 25 on the elastic piece 22 is separated from the static contact 26, the power supply line of the L pole socket 31 is disconnected. It should be noted that as other embodiments, the elastic piece 22 can also be fixedly connected to the L pole socket 31, and the static contact 26 is arranged on the L pole piece 21; or, the static contact 26 can be not arranged, and the moving contact 25 on the elastic piece 22 is directly in contact connection with the L pole socket 31, or the moving contact 25 is directly in contact connection with the L pole piece 21, or directly with the L pole wiring terminal 41; or the moving contact 25 can be not arranged, and the movable end of the elastic piece 22 is directly in contact connection with the L pole socket 31 or the L pole wiring terminal 41; or the L pole piece 21 can be not arranged, and the elastic piece 22 is directly fixedly connected to the L pole wiring terminal 41, which is all acceptable.

[0046] The button 27 is movably arranged. A return spring 28 acts on the button 27 to make one end of the button 27 extend out of the housing. The other end of the button 27 corresponds to the movable end of the elastic piece 22. The button 27 is used to drive the movable end of the elastic piece 22 to move from the second position to the first position, that is, to drive the elastic piece 22 to drive the moving contact 25 to move in the direction of contacting the power supply line of the L pole socket 31. When the movable end of the elastic piece 22 is in the second position, pressing the end of the button 27 that extends out of the housing, the button 27 can drive the movable end of the elastic piece 22 to reset to the first position, so that the moving contact 25 contacts the static contact 26 again and re-conducts the power supply line of the L pole socket 31. When the movable end of the elastic piece 22 is in the second position, the other end of the button 27 can be in contact with the movable end of the elastic piece 22 or not. As long as pressing the button 27 can drive the movable end of the elastic piece 22 to move from the second position to the first position.

[0047] Particularly, the overload protection component 2 of this embodiment further has an elastic pressing component 23. The elastic pressing component 23 is connected to the elastic piece 22 to apply a force to the elastic piece 22. When the moving contact 25 accesses the power supply line of the L pole socket 31 in a contact manner to conduct the power supply line of the L pole socket 31, the force of the elastic pressing component 23 increases the contact pressure between the moving contact 25 and the power supply line. When the moving contact 25 is separated from the power supply line of the L pole socket 31, the force of the elastic pressing component 23 drives the elastic piece 22 to drive the moving contact 25 away from the power supply line of the L pole socket 31, increasing the distance between the moving contact 25 and the power supply line of the L pole socket 31, improving safety, and ensuring that the driving elastic piece 22b will not automatically reset, improving reliability.

[0048] Reference Figure 2, in this embodiment, the shrapnel 22 is electrically connected to the L-pole terminal 41 through the L-pole piece 21. The moving contact 25 on the shrapnel 22 is in contact connection with the static contact 26 on the L-pole socket 31 to conduct the power supply line of the L-pole socket 31. At this time, the movable part of the shrapnel 22 is in the first position, and the acting force of the elastic pressing member 23 drives the moving contact 25 to press tightly on the static contact 26 to increase the contact pressure. Refer to Figure 3 , when overloaded, the shrapnel 22 is heated and deformed to overcome the acting force of the elastic pressing member 23, driving the moving contact 25 to separate from the power supply line of the L-pole socket 31, and storing energy in the elastic pressing member 23. After the shrapnel 22 drives the elastic pressing member 23 to cross the dead point equilibrium position, the elastic pressing member 23 converts to energy release, driving the shrapnel 22 to drive the moving contact 25 away from the static contact 26, preventing the shrapnel 22 from immediately driving the moving contact 25 to contact the static contact 26 after cooling and restoring deformation. At this time, the movable part of the shrapnel 22 is in the second position. After the shrapnel 22 cools and restores deformation, the socket can be removed from Figure 3 the state to Figure 2 the state by pressing the button 27. The button 27 drives the shrapnel 22 to overcome the acting force of the elastic pressing member 23, driving the moving contact 25 to move towards the static contact 26, and storing energy in the elastic pressing member 23. After the shrapnel 22 drives the elastic pressing member 23 to cross the dead point equilibrium position, the elastic pressing member 23 converts to energy release, driving the shrapnel 22 to drive the moving contact 25 to contact the static contact 26 again and increasing the contact pressure.

[0049] Preferably, the overload protection component 2 is further provided with an adjusting member. One end of the elastic pressing member 23 is installed on the adjusting member, and the other end is connected to the movable end of the shrapnel 22. The adjusting member is used to adjust the position of the elastic pressing member 23 relative to the shrapnel 22. The adjusting member in this embodiment is a screw 24. The screw rod 242 of the screw 24 is in threaded cooperation with the housing. The elastic pressing member 23 is installed on the screw 24. By rotating the screw 24, the position of the elastic pressing member 23 and the acting force on the shrapnel 22 can be adjusted. As Figure 8 shown, the elastic pressing member 23 in this embodiment is of a shrapnel structure, with a bending part formed to have elasticity. One end of the elastic pressing member 23 is rotatably arranged on the adjusting member. The middle part of the elastic pressing member 23 has a bending part formed to have elasticity, and the other end is connected to the shrapnel 22, applying an acting force to the shrapnel 22. The elastic pressing member 23 changes the acting force direction on the shrapnel 22 by rotation. As Figure 2 shown, when the moving contact 25 is in contact with the static contact 26, the connection point between the elastic pressing member 23 and the shrapnel 22 is located below the rotatably arranged end of the elastic pressing member 23, and the elastic pressing member 23 applies a downward acting force to increase the contact pressure between the moving contact 25 and the static contact 26; as Figure 3As shown, when overloaded, the spring sheet 22 is deformed by heat to overcome the force of the spring-pressing component 23 and drive the moving contact 25 to separate from the static contact 26. After the spring-pressing component 23 rotates past the equilibrium position (the horizontal position in the figure in this embodiment), the connection point between the spring-pressing component 23 and the spring sheet 22 is located above the rotating setting end of the spring-pressing component 23. The spring-pressing component 23 applies a force upward to drive the spring sheet 22 to drive the moving contact 25 away from the static contact 26. Figure 8 , 9 In this embodiment, one end of the spring-pressing component 23 is provided with a spring-pressing component V-shaped groove 232, and the screw 24 is provided with a circle of screw positioning grooves 2421. The spring-pressing component 23 is installed in the screw positioning groove 2421 through the spring-pressing component V-shaped groove 232 to be positioned, and the spring-pressing component 23 can be rotated up and down with the end provided with the spring-pressing component V-shaped groove 232 as the rotation axis, and the other end of the spring-pressing component 23 is engaged with the spring sheet 22, which is convenient for assembly. Of course, the spring-pressing component 23 can also be directly installed on the shell, and the spring-pressing component 23 can also be implemented by a compression spring, a torsion spring or other methods. For example, the compression spring is connected to the movable end of the spring sheet 22, and the other end is rotationally connected to the shell or the screw 24. The movable end of the spring sheet 22 drives the compression spring to rotate and compress the compression spring. After the compression spring rotates past the dead point equilibrium position, the compression spring releases energy to push the movable end of the spring sheet 22. It should also be noted that the overload protection component 2 may also not be provided with a reset spring 28 for driving the button 27. Refer to Figure 3 When the movable end of the spring sheet 22 is located at the second position, the spring sheet 22 and / or the spring-pressing component 23 can drive one end of the button 27 to extend out of the housing.

One end of the spring pressing component 23 is placed on the surface of the shrapnel 22 through the step surfaces 233 and applies a pressure to the shrapnel 22 to make the shrapnel 22 press in the required direction. The elastic force generated by the spring pressing component 23 can increase the contact pressure when the moving contact 25 contacts the static contact 26, and can increase the distance between them when the moving and static contacts are separated.

[0056] As shown Figure 9 As shown, the screw 24 is screwed into the screw hole of the screw mounting post 133 of the button assembly mounting position 13 of the base 1. Among them, the screw 24 is composed of a nut 241 with a cross slot and a screw rod 242 with a thread. A circle of screw rod positioning slots 2421 that cooperate with the V-shaped groove 232 of the elastic component is also radially opened at the end of the screw rod 242. One end of the elastic component 23 is stuck in the screw rod positioning slot 2421 through the V-shaped groove of the elastic component. The thread on the screw rod 242 of the screw 24 is in interference fit connection with the screw hole of the screw mounting post 133 of the button assembly mounting position 13 of the base 1. The nut 241 of the screw 24 can be rotated with a screwdriver, and then the extended length of the screw 24, and further the position of the elastic component 23 relative to the elastic piece 22, to further adjust their mutual acting force and control the force required for the elastic piece 22 to spring open.

[0057] The moving contact 25 is riveted at the moving contact mounting hole 221 of the elastic piece 22.

[0058] The static contact 26 is installed on the L-pole socket 31 of the socket assembly 3.

[0059] One end of the button 27 extends outward from the outside of the panel assembly 5, and the other end sequentially passes through the panel assembly 5, the button limit slot 134 of the base 1 and the button through hole and extends outside the button through hole. Among them, a circular spring limit mounting groove is also radially opened on the end rod body of the other end of the button 27.

[0060] The return spring 28 is sleeved on the spring limit mounting groove at the other end of the button 27 and can be movably embedded in the button through hole.

[0061] As shown Figures 1-4 As shown, the socket assembly 3 is installed at the socket assembly mounting position 14, and it includes an L-pole socket 31, a ground-pole socket 32 and an N-pole socket 33. Among them, the L-pole socket 31 is installed at the L-pole socket mounting position 141 of the socket assembly mounting position 14, and an L-pole socket connecting piece 311 protrudes outward in the middle section. As shown Figure 10 As shown, a static contact through hole 312 is opened on the L-pole socket connecting piece 311. The static contact 26 passes through the static contact through hole 312 of the L-pole socket connecting piece 311 and is riveted tightly after being in close contact with the L-pole socket connecting piece 311. The ground-pole socket 32 is installed at the ground-pole socket mounting position 142 of the socket assembly mounting position 14, and a ground-pole inserting piece 321 protrudes outward on one side of the middle section. The N-pole socket 33 is installed at the N-pole socket mounting position 143 of the socket assembly mounting position 14, and an N-pole inserting piece 331 protrudes outward on one side.

[0062] Among them, when the moving contact 25 and the static contact 26 are in a separated state, pressing the button 27 sleeved on the protruding support rib 123 of the base 1 can press the elastic piece 22 towards the static contact 26, enabling the silver contacts of the moving contact 25 and the static contact 26 to come into contact with each other and conduct electricity. When the current passing through the elastic piece 22 is too large, the elastic piece 22 will be heated and deformed, moving away from the static contact 26. When the elastic force generated by the elastic piece 22 is greater than the pressure generated by the elastic pressing component 23, the elastic piece 22 will bounce the moving contact 25 away. After the elastic pressing component 23 passes the equilibrium position, it will apply pressure in the opposite direction, pushing the elastic piece 22 further away from the static contact 26, thereby achieving the purpose of power-off.

[0063] As Figures 1-4 shown, the wiring terminal assembly 4 is installed at the wiring terminal assembly installation position 15 of the base 1, and it includes an L-pole wiring terminal 41, a ground-pole wiring terminal 42, and an N-pole wiring terminal 43; the L-pole wiring terminal 41 is detachably and fixedly connected to the L-pole plate insert 213 of the L-pole plate 21; the ground-pole wiring terminal 42 is detachably and fixedly connected to the ground-pole insert piece 321 of the ground-pole insert sleeve 32; the N-pole wiring terminal 43 is detachably and fixedly connected to the N-pole insert piece 331 of the N-pole insert sleeve 33.

[0064] As Figure 1 shown, the panel assembly 5 is detachably installed on the front of the base 1 and covers the overload protection assembly 2, the insert sleeve assembly 3, and the wiring terminal assembly 4 installed on the base 1; among them, a set of opposite side edges of the side of the panel assembly 5 that is assembled with the base 1 are convexly provided with panel clamping structures 51 that are engaged with the base clamping structures 112 of the base 1, and the detachable assembly between the panel assembly 5 and the base 1 is realized through the cooperation of the panel clamping structures 51 and the base clamping structures 112.

[0065] Among them, the elastic piece 22 is a bimetallic strip, which will heat up according to the magnitude of the current flowing through the elastic piece 22. After heating, the elastic piece 22 itself will deform and bounce open, causing the circuit to break at the moving contact 25 and the static contact 26; and the elastic pressing component 23 will ensure that the moving contact 25 separated after the elastic piece 22 bounces open remains at the farthest distance; and there is a button 27 above the elastic piece 22. After the circuit fault is eliminated, pressing the button 27 can make the elastic piece 22 return to its original position, enabling the moving contact 25 and the static contact 26 to come into contact and the circuit to conduct electricity.

[0066] In this embodiment, the direct riveting method of the elastic piece 22 and the L-pole plate 21 is adopted, and the cost is relatively low. However, the connection methods such as spot welding and soldering are also within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0067] In this embodiment, the elastic pressing component 23 is installed by plugging with both the screw 24 and the elastic sheet 22, without welding. Of course, the elastic pressing component 23 and the elastic sheet 22 can also be welded or riveted, which are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0068] In this embodiment, the moving contact 25 and the static contact 26 are connected in a way that they touch each other. If the static contact 26 is removed and the moving contact 25 is directly pressed on the L-pole socket 31, etc., similar effects can also be achieved. Removing the moving contact 25 is also within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0069] In this embodiment, if the elastic sheet 22 is riveted to the L-pole piece 21, the static contact 26 is located on the L-pole socket 31. If the elastic sheet 22 is riveted to the L-pole socket 31, the static contact 26 is located on the L-pole piece 21, which is also acceptable and within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0070] The structure of the present utility model is designed simply and reasonably, with convenient installation and disassembly, safe and reliable in use, and suitable for popularization and application.

[0071] It should be noted that in the description of the present utility model, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship when in normal use. It is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0072] The above content is a further detailed description of the present utility model in combination with specific preferred embodiments. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present utility model is only limited to these descriptions. For those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several simple deductions or substitutions can still be made, which should all be regarded as belonging to the protection scope of the present utility model.
