Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent sockets, and in particular to an intelligent socket based on environment perception. Background Art

[0002] Smart sockets, as an important part of smart homes, can remotely control the switches of home appliances through mobile phone applications or voice assistants to achieve energy saving and convenience. Smart sockets based on environmental perception go a step further. They not only have remote control functions, but also can perceive the temperature, humidity, light and other parameters of the surrounding environment in real time. Through built-in sensors and intelligent algorithms, this socket can intelligently adjust the working status of home appliances, such as automatically turning off lighting equipment when the room is well lit, or automatically turning on the air conditioner when the indoor temperature is too high. This intelligent environmental response not only improves living comfort, but also achieves more accurate and efficient energy management.

[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese patent document with publication number CN219919548U proposes a smart socket, which includes a housing, a panel and an integrated circuit module. A housing is provided in the housing, and the housing has an open end; a panel cover is provided at the open end; and the housing is used to switch the on / off state of the switch device according to a wireless command. Although the purpose is to discharge a large amount of heat generated in the smart socket and extend the service life of the smart socket, the technology is consistent with the traditional method in that in actual use, after the plug is inserted into the socket of the socket, it sometimes becomes loose, which may not only lead to poor conductivity, but also make the electronic device at the rear end of the plug unable to operate normally, affecting the user's experience. More seriously, the looseness between the plug and the socket may also produce gaps, which invisibly increase the safety risk. Once a conductive object accidentally falls into these gaps, it may cause dangerous situations such as short circuits and electric shocks, posing a potential threat to the safety of users. Furthermore, we disclose a smart socket based on environmental perception to meet the actual needs of the prior art that the smart socket and the plug may become loose and produce gaps, resulting in poor conductivity and may cause dangerous situations such as short circuits and electric shocks. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the utility model is to propose a smart socket based on environmental perception to solve the problem in the prior art that the smart socket and the plug may become loose and generate a gap, resulting in poor conductivity and may cause dangerous situations such as short circuits and electric shocks.

[0005] For the above purposes, the present utility model provides an environment - aware intelligent socket, including an intelligent socket body. In the middle of the front end face of the intelligent socket body, there are two jacks. On one side inside the jacks, there are wiring terminals for transmitting electric energy. Inside the jacks, there is a locking component for clamping the plug. The locking component is used to prevent the plug from loosening. On one side of the intelligent socket body, there is a sliding - connected protective cover. The protective cover is used to prevent conductive objects from falling into the gap between the plug and the intelligent socket body. The locking component includes a top rod. Inside the intelligent socket body, on one side of the jack, there is an empty slot. The top rod is slidably connected inside the empty slot. The lower end of the top rod extends into the jack. On the outer wall of the top rod, at the upper end of the jack, there is a fixed - connected fixing plate. On the lower end face of the fixing plate, there is a clamping spring fixedly connected. The clamping spring is sleeved outside the top rod, and the lower end of the clamping spring is fixedly connected to the intelligent socket body.

[0006] Preferably, at one end of the protective cover located inside the intelligent socket body, there is a fixed - connected connecting plate. In the middle of one side end face of the connecting plate, there is a fixed - connected return spring. The end of the return spring away from the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the intelligent socket body.

[0007] Preferably, the top rod is designed in a Z - shape. At one end of the top rod away from the clamping spring, there is a fixed - connected limiting plate. At the lower - end corner on the side of the limiting plate close to the jack, there is a rounded corner.

[0008] Preferably, in the middle of one side end face of the connecting plate, there is a T - shaped hole. The size of the T - shaped hole is adapted to the size of the limiting plate. On the side of the connecting plate away from the jack, on one side of the T - shaped hole, there is a fixed - connected guiding plate.

[0009] Preferably, the guiding plate is designed in an arc shape and is from high to low in the direction of the T - shaped hole.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the top rod extending into the jack is designed in a spherical shape.

[0011] Advantages of the present utility model:

[0012] 1. When using this environment - aware intelligent socket, insert the plug into the jack. Inside the jack, there is a top rod. The outside of the top rod is connected with a clamping spring through a fixing plate. The lower end of the top rod is designed in a spherical shape. When the plug is inserted, due to the spherical design of the lower end of the top rod, the top rod moves upward. Through the action of the clamping spring, the lower end of the top rod can maintain a certain squeezing force on the internal plug, making the plug not easy to loosen. Thus, it effectively prevents the problem of insensitive conduction caused by plug loosening. In addition, the top rod is made of insulating material and will not cause short - circuit and other situations, improving the use safety.

[0013] 2. When the smart socket based on environmental perception is in use, when the plug is inserted into the socket and the push rod moves slightly upward, the limit plate at the upper end of the push rod also moves upward to a position that matches the T-shaped hole, so that the limit plate does not contact the connecting plate, and the protective cover slides forward through the thrust provided by the reset spring through the connecting plate at the rear end, so that when the plug is inserted, the protective cover can automatically extend forward, which can effectively cover the gap between the plug and the socket, eliminating the possibility of conductive objects accidentally entering and causing safety hazards. When the plug is pulled out, , the limit plate moves downward, and then the protective cover is manually pressed to make the protective cover slide inward, and the guide plate on one side of the T-shaped hole first contacts the limit plate. Since a rounded corner is set on one side of the limit plate and the guide plate is designed in an arc shape, the protective cover continues to slide inward from high to low in the direction of the T-shaped hole, which can drive the limit plate to move upward until it moves to a position suitable for the T-shaped hole. At this time, the connecting plate passes through the limit plate, and the limit plate moves downward through the action of the clamping spring, so that the limit plate contacts the connecting plate to lock and limit the protective cover, thereby improving the aesthetics of use.

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] Such as Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, an environment-aware smart socket includes a smart socket body 1. In the middle of the front face of the smart socket body 1, there are two jacks 3. On one side inside the jack 3, there is a terminal for transmitting electric energy. Inside the jack 3, there is a locking component for clamping the plug. The locking component is used to prevent the plug from loosening. A protective cover 2 is slidably connected to one side of the smart socket body 1. The protective cover 2 is used to prevent conductive objects from falling into the gap between the plug and the smart socket body 1. The locking component includes a push rod 7. An empty slot 4 is opened on one side of the jack 3 inside the smart socket body 1. The push rod 7 is slidably connected inside the empty slot 4. The lower end of the push rod 7 extends into the jack 3. A fixing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the push rod 7 at the upper end of the jack 3. A clamping spring 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the fixing plate 5. The clamping spring 6 is sleeved outside the push rod 7. The lower end of the clamping spring 6 is fixedly connected to the smart socket body 1. The end of the push rod 7 extending into the jack 3 is designed as a sphere. When this environment-aware smart socket is in use, the plug is inserted into the jack 3. There is a push rod 7 inside the jack 3. The outside of the push rod 7 is connected to a clamping spring 6 through a fixing plate 5. The lower end of the push rod 7 is designed as a sphere. Through the design of the locking component of this smart socket, it is ensured that the plug can be firmly clamped after being inserted into the jack 3, effectively preventing the problem of poor conductivity caused by the loosening of the plug and ensuring the normal operation of the electronic device. At the same time, the setting of the protective cover 2 further reflects the ultimate pursuit of safety. It can not only be slidably connected to the smart socket body 1, but also effectively block the gap between the plug and the socket when the plug is inserted, eliminating the possibility of conductive objects accidentally entering and causing potential safety hazards, thus greatly improving the convenience and comfort of use. When the plug is inserted, due to the spherical design at the lower end of the push rod 7, the push rod 7 moves upward, and then through the action of the clamping spring 6, the lower end of the push rod 7 can maintain a certain extrusion force on the internal plug, making the plug not easy to loosen, thus effectively preventing the problem of poor conductivity caused by the loosening of the plug. In addition, the push rod 7 is made of insulating material and will not cause short circuits and other situations, improving the use safety.

[0024] Further, as Figures 2 to 4As shown in the figure, one end of the protective cover 2 located inside the intelligent socket body 1 is fixedly connected with a connecting plate 13. In the middle of one side end face of the connecting plate 13, a return spring 9 is fixedly connected. The end of the return spring 9 away from the connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected with the intelligent socket body 1. The ejector rod 7 is designed in a Z shape. The end of the ejector rod 7 away from the clamping spring 6 is fixedly connected with a limiting plate 12. At the lower corner of the side end face of the limiting plate 12 close to the jack 3, a fillet 8 is provided. In the middle of one side end face of the connecting plate 13, a T-shaped hole 10 is opened. The size of the T-shaped hole 10 is adapted to the size of the limiting plate 12. On one side of the T-shaped hole 10 on the side end face of the connecting plate 13 away from the jack 3, a guide plate 11 is fixedly connected. The guide plate 11 is designed in an arc shape and is from high to low in the direction of the T-shaped hole 10. When this intelligent socket based on environmental perception is in use, when the plug is inserted into the jack 3 and causes the ejector rod 7 to move slightly upward, the limiting plate 12 at the upper end of the ejector rod 7 also moves upward to a position adapted to the T-shaped hole 10, so that the limiting plate 12 does not contact the connecting plate 13. The protective cover 2 slides forward under the thrust provided by the return spring 9 through the connecting plate 13 at the rear end, so that when the plug is inserted, the protective cover 2 can automatically stretch forward, effectively blocking the gap between the plug and the socket, eliminating the possibility of conductive objects straying in and causing potential safety hazards. When the plug is pulled out, the limiting plate 12 moves downward, and then by manually pressing the protective cover 2, the protective cover 2 slides inward. The guide plate 11 on one side of the T-shaped hole 10 first contacts the limiting plate 12. Since a fillet 8 is provided on one side of the limiting plate 12 and the guide plate 11 is designed in an arc shape and is from high to low in the direction of the T-shaped hole 10, the continuous inward sliding of the protective cover 2 can drive the limiting plate 12 to move upward until it moves to a position adapted to the T-shaped hole 10. At this time, the connecting plate 13 passes through the limiting plate 12, and the limiting plate 12 moves downward under the action of the clamping spring 6, so that the limiting plate 12 contacts the connecting plate 13 to lock and limit the protective cover 2, improving the aesthetic appearance during use.
