Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The following will further describe the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0026] The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0027] As shown in the appendix Figures 1-7As shown, the utility model discloses a new type of wall socket, which includes a socket box 1 and a conductive sheet assembly. The socket box 1 has a panel mounting part 2 and a conductive sheet fixing part 3. A socket panel 4 is fixed on the panel mounting part 2. Both the panel mounting part 2 and the conductive sheet fixing part 3 are integrally formed with the socket box 1. The conductive sheet assembly includes a conductive sheet and a terminal 5. The conductive sheet fixing part 3 is provided with a conductive sheet positioning groove 6 and a terminal positioning groove 7 for placing the conductive sheet and the terminal 5. Specifically, in this embodiment, by setting the socket box 1 as an integral structure with a panel mounting part 2 and a conductive sheet fixing part 3, the assembly efficiency and stability of the socket can be greatly improved. At the same time, this design also effectively controls the manufacturing cost of the socket box 1 because it reduces the assembly process of multiple components, lowering the labor cost and material waste. And the conductive sheet positioning groove 6 and the terminal positioning groove 7 opened on the conductive sheet fixing part 3 can ensure the precise positioning of the conductive sheet and the terminal 5 during the installation process, effectively avoiding circuit failures or safety hazards caused by installation errors. At the same time, the design of this positioning groove also greatly simplifies the installation process, enabling even ordinary users to easily complete the installation of the socket.

[0028] Furthermore, the conductive sheet includes a main conductive sheet 8 and a secondary conductive sheet 9. The main conductive sheets 8 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the secondary conductive sheet 9. The conductive sheet positioning groove 6 includes a main positioning groove 10 and a secondary positioning groove 11 corresponding to the main conductive sheet 8 and the secondary conductive sheet 9 respectively. The terminal positioning groove 7 includes two main terminal positioning grooves 13 respectively arranged on one side of the main positioning groove 10 and a secondary terminal positioning groove 12 arranged inside and communicating with the secondary positioning groove 11. The terminals 5 are respectively arranged in the main terminal positioning grooves 13 and the secondary terminal positioning grooves 12. Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the main positioning groove 10 and the secondary positioning groove 11 further improves the accuracy of the conductive sheet installation. The main positioning groove 10 is used to place the main conductive sheet 8, while the secondary positioning groove 11 is used to place the secondary conductive sheet 9. Such a layout not only ensures a reasonable spacing between the conductive sheets but also facilitates the installation for ordinary users. Similarly, the setting of the main terminal positioning grooves 13 and the secondary terminal positioning grooves 12 also makes the installation of the terminals 5 simple and fast. The main terminal positioning grooves 13 correspond to the main conductive sheets 8, and the secondary terminal positioning grooves 12 correspond to the secondary conductive sheets 9. Such a design ensures a firm and reliable connection between the terminals 5 and the conductive sheets, effectively avoiding the problem of poor circuit contact. In this design, the terminal positioning grooves 7 are all recessed inward from the conductive sheet fixing part 3 towards the same side. The main terminal positioning grooves 13 are respectively arranged on the side of the corresponding main conductive sheet 8 away from the secondary conductive sheet 9. Such a structural setting can optimize the spatial arrangement of the conductive sheet fixing part 3.

[0029] Further, the main conductive sheet 8 has a main body portion 14 and insertion portions 15 provided on both sides of the main body portion 14. The insertion portions 15 are connected to the main body portion 14 to form an arch-shaped structure. Insertion ends 16 are provided on the insertion portions 15, and the insertion ends 16 extend into the corresponding main positioning grooves 10 for fixation. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connection between the insertion portions 15 of the arch-shaped structure and the main body portion 14 not only provides good mechanical support but also increases the contact area between the conductive sheet and the socket box 1, thereby ensuring the efficiency and safety of current transmission. The insertion ends 16 extend into the main positioning grooves 10 for fixation. This design not only simplifies the installation steps but also ensures the stability of the main conductive sheet 8 in the socket box 1, effectively preventing loosening and detachment caused by vibration or external force. In this embodiment, a main terminal connection end 17 protrudes from the main body portion 28 of the main conductive sheet 8 and bends toward the main terminal positioning groove 13. The main terminal connection end 17 is arranged in an arc-shaped sheet structure. A wiring positioning groove 18 is provided on the main terminal connection end 17, and a plurality of wiring positioning grooves 18 are arranged at equal intervals. The wiring positioning grooves 18 are arranged along the width direction of the main terminal connection end 17, and the wiring positioning grooves 18 correspond to the arc-shaped structure of the main terminal connection end 17. Such a structure enables, when the wire extends into the wiring terminal 5 and is pressed by the wiring stud 19, a part of the structure of the wire to be pressed and embedded into the wiring positioning groove 18, thereby increasing the contact area with the wiring terminal 5 and realizing the limitation of the wire, preventing the wire from sliding out on the wiring terminal 5, making the connection more stable and not easily loosening, thereby enhancing the reliability and safety of the socket.

[0030] Further, the insertion end 16 has a flat portion 20 and an arc portion 21. A slot 22 is formed between the flat portion 20 and the arc portion 21. Limit reinforcing ribs 23 are provided on the opposite side walls of the main positioning groove 10. The flat portion 20 is in contact with the limit reinforcing rib 23 on the corresponding side wall, and there is an expansion gap 24 between the arc portion 21 and the limit reinforcing rib 23 on the corresponding side wall. Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the flat portion 20 and the arc portion 21 of the insertion end 16 provides additional flexibility for the installation of the socket. The design of the slot 22 allows the insertion end 16 to have a certain amount of expansion space when inserted into the main positioning groove 10 to adapt to the installation requirements within different tolerance ranges. At the same time, by providing the limit reinforcing ribs 23 on the opposite side walls of the main positioning groove 10, the stability of the insertion end 16 after fixation can be ensured, preventing loosening caused by vibration or external force. The contact between the flat portion 20 and the limit reinforcing rib 23 on the corresponding side wall ensures the stability of the insertion end 16 in the horizontal direction; while the expansion gap 24 between the arc portion 21 and the limit reinforcing rib 23 on the corresponding side wall allows the insertion end 16 to have a certain adjustment space to adapt to the slight installation errors brought by different-sized pins. Such a design not only improves the reliability of the socket but also facilitates the installation operation.

[0031] Furthermore, the cross-section of the main positioning groove 10 is arranged in a stepped shape. A boss 25 protrudes from the inner groove wall of the main positioning groove 10. The main positioning groove 10 has an outer positioning portion 26 and an inner positioning portion 27 that communicate with each other. The insertion end 16 is arranged in the outer positioning portion 26, and the boss 25 supports the insertion end 16. Specifically, in this embodiment, the stepped design of the main positioning groove 10 not only increases the structural strength but also provides more stable support for the insertion end 16. The setting of the boss 25 further enhances the fixing effect of the insertion end 16 in the socket box 1, effectively preventing loosening caused by vibration or external force. At the same time, this design also makes the fixing of the insertion end 16 in the outer positioning portion 26 more reliable, reducing circuit failures or safety hazards caused by improper installation. The setting of the inner positioning portion 27 can be used to adapt to plug pins of different lengths, further enhancing the versatility and practicality of the socket. When the length of the plug pin is short, the insertion end 16 is mainly fixed in the outer positioning portion 26, and the boss 25 provides stable support; when the length of the plug pin is long, the insertion end 16 can further extend into the inner positioning portion 27 and use the space of the inner positioning portion 27 for fixing, thus ensuring a firm connection between the insertion end 16 and the socket box 1.

[0032] Furthermore, the secondary conductive sheet 9 is arranged in a horizontally placed sheet-like structure. The secondary positioning groove 11 is arranged between the main positioning grooves 10. The secondary conductive sheet 9 has a main body portion 28 and secondary insertion portions 29. The secondary insertion portions 29 are arranged on both sides of the main body portion 28. Sockets 30 are opened on the secondary insertion portions 29 for inserting plug pins. The secondary terminal positioning groove 12 is arranged at a position close to the main body portion 28 inside the secondary positioning groove 11. Specifically, in this embodiment, the horizontally placed design of the secondary conductive sheet 9 ensures a consistent distance between it and the main conductive sheet 8, which is beneficial to the uniform distribution of current and improves the electrical performance of the socket. The secondary positioning groove 11 is arranged between the main positioning grooves 10. Such a layout not only makes full use of the space inside the socket box 1 but also makes the installation of the secondary conductive sheet 9 more convenient. The secondary terminal positioning groove 12 is arranged at a position close to the main body portion 28 inside the secondary positioning groove 11. Such a layout enables the wiring terminal 5 to be closer to the secondary conductive sheet 9, thereby reducing the loss during current transmission. At the same time, the communication design between the secondary terminal positioning groove 12 and the secondary positioning groove 11 also makes the installation of the wiring terminal 5 simple and fast.

[0033] Further, a strip-shaped groove 31 is formed in the body portion 28. A secondary terminal connection end 32 protrudes from one side wall of the strip-shaped groove 31. The structure of the secondary terminal connection end 32 is the same as that of the primary terminal connection end 17. The secondary terminal connection end 32 is bent toward the secondary terminal positioning groove 12. Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the strip-shaped groove 31 not only provides a good heat dissipation channel for the secondary conductive sheet 9, but also helps to reduce the weight of the secondary conductive sheet 9. The secondary terminal connection end 32 is bent toward the secondary terminal positioning groove 12, and such a design can ensure the precise fit between the secondary terminal connection end 32 and the secondary terminal positioning groove 12, thereby increasing the stability and reliability of wiring.

[0034] Further, both the primary terminal positioning groove 13 and the secondary terminal positioning groove 12 have an inclined mounting surface 33. One side of the wiring terminal 5 is in contact with the mounting surface 33, and the wiring terminal 5 is fixed in the terminal positioning groove 7 in an inclined state. Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the inclined mounting surface 33 enables the wiring terminal 5 to enter more smoothly when inserted into the terminal positioning groove 7, and also ensures better stability and reliability of the wiring terminal 5 after being fixed. When the inclined wiring terminal 5 is subjected to vibration or external force, the impact on the wiring terminal 5 can be reduced, thereby effectively preventing the wiring terminal 5 from loosening or falling off. This design not only improves the electrical performance of the socket, but also enhances the durability and safety of the socket.

[0035] Further, an adjustment structure and a strengthening structure 34 are symmetrically arranged on the panel mounting portion 2. The adjustment structure includes an adjustment hole 35 and a positioning hole 36 formed in the panel mounting portion 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the adjustment structure and the strengthening structure 34 provides great convenience and stability for the installation and fixation of the socket. The setting of the adjustment hole 35 allows the user to adjust the installation position of the socket according to actual needs to adapt to different installation environments and requirements. The positioning hole 36 can ensure that the socket will not shift after being fixed on the panel, increasing the accuracy and stability of the installation.

[0036] Further, adjusting grooves 37 and reinforcing grooves 38 are respectively recessed on the panel mounting portion 2. The adjusting holes 35 and positioning holes 36 are both formed on the wall of the adjusting groove 37. The adjusting holes 35 are arranged in a vertical strip shape, and the positioning holes 36 are arranged in a circular hole shape at both ends on one side of the adjusting holes 35. The reinforcing structure 34 is a reinforcing rib arranged in the reinforcing groove 38. Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjusting holes 35 are arranged in a vertical strip shape, allowing the user to vertically adjust the installation position of the socket within a certain range to meet the requirements of different installation heights. The positioning holes 36 are arranged in a circular hole shape at both ends on one side of the adjusting holes 35. Such a layout design not only ensures the stability of the socket after installation, but also facilitates the user to fix the socket on the panel through bolts or other fasteners. The setting of the positioning holes 36 also enhances the connection strength between the socket and the panel, preventing the socket from loosening due to vibration or other external forces during use. The reinforcing structure 34 is realized by the reinforcing rib arranged in the reinforcing groove 38. The design of the reinforcing rib effectively enhances the overall strength of the panel mounting portion 2, improving the durability and impact resistance of the socket. The close combination of the reinforcing rib with the adjusting groove 37 and the reinforcing groove 38 makes the socket more stable and reliable during installation and use.
