Detailed Embodiment
[0051] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0052] The terms used in the embodiments section of the present disclosure are only for explaining the embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0053] The socket includes a housing, a plurality of socket sets, a plurality of copper bars and a terminal block. The sockets and the terminal block are fixed to the housing. One end of each copper bar is fixedly connected to the terminal block, and the other end is connected to a socket set. The terminal block is also connected to an external power supply, so as to enable the socket to draw power from the external power supply. In the related art, in order to fix the copper bars, the socket further includes a pressing plate, and the copper bars are clamped between the pressing plate and the housing to prevent the copper bars from shaking. However, this increases the number of components of the socket, and increases the assembly process and cost of the socket.
[0054] In view of the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a socket, as Figures 1-3 shown, the socket includes a housing 1, a plurality of socket sets 2, a plurality of copper bars 3 and a terminal block 4. The housing 1 has a receiving cavity 10 and a fixing plate 11. The fixing plate 11 is fixed to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 10. The plurality of socket sets 2 and the terminal block 4 are fixed to the receiving cavity 10. The fixing plate 11 has a plurality of limiting holes 110. The plurality of copper bars 3 respectively pass through the plurality of limiting holes 110, and one end of each of the plurality of copper bars 3 is electrically connected to the terminal block 4, and the other end is electrically connected to the plurality of socket sets 2 respectively.
[0055] Wherein, the terminal block 4 has a plurality of crimping holes 40. The plurality of crimping holes 40 are respectively used for inserting the neutral wire, live wire and ground wire of the external power supply, and one end of each copper bar 3 extends into the crimping hole 40, so that the neutral wire, live wire and ground wire are respectively connected to the copper bar 3 in each crimping hole 40, so that the copper bar 3 can draw power from the external power supply. In order to facilitate the connection between the terminal block 4 and the external power cord, the terminal block 4 is close to the end of the housing 1.
[0056] The polarities of multiple socket sets 2 are different. The multiple socket sets 2 are respectively an N-pole socket set, an L-pole socket set, and an E-pole socket set. Each socket set 2 includes at least one socket. Electrical connection can be achieved between multiple sockets of the same polarity through jumpers 200. The socket set 2 needs to be electrically connected to an external power cord to draw power from the external power source. Since one end of the copper bar 3 is connected to the external power cord, the socket set 2 and the copper bar 3 are connected by a jumper 200, so that the socket set 2 can draw power from the external power source through the copper bar 3. Correspondingly, the multiple copper bars 3 are respectively an N-pole copper bar, an L-pole copper bar, and an E-pole copper bar. Wherein, one end of each copper bar 3 away from the terminal has a welding hole for welding with the jumper.
[0057] The socket can be a wall socket or a power strip, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations thereto.
[0058] In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the copper bar 3 passes through the limiting hole 110, the limiting hole 110 can play a role in limiting the part of the copper bar 3 away from the terminal 4, avoiding the copper bar 3 from shaking. In this way, there is no need to set other components in the socket to fix the copper bar 3, thereby reducing the number of components in the socket and reducing the assembly process.
[0059] In some examples, as Figure 4 shown, two side walls of the copper bar 3 opposite to each other include two clamping protrusions 30. The two clamping protrusions 30 are located on the side of the fixing plate 11 facing away from the terminal 4, and the two clamping protrusions 30 abut against the fixing plate 11.
[0060] Exemplarily, as Figure 4 shown, each clamping protrusion 30 has a clamping side wall 30a. Along the direction away from the fixing plate 11, the distance between the two clamping side walls 30a gradually decreases. Since the copper bar 3 has elasticity, the copper bar 3 will be deformed under the extrusion of the side wall of the limiting hole 110, so that the clamping protrusion 30 passes through the limiting hole 110. Thus, it is avoided that the copper bar 3 disengages from the limiting hole 110 along the direction away from the terminal 4.
[0061] Exemplarily, as Figure 5 shown, the two clamping protrusions 30 are arranged along the width direction of the copper bar 3, then the maximum distance between the two clamping protrusions 30 is greater than the width of the limiting hole 110.
[0062] In other examples, the two clamping protrusions 30 can also be arranged along the thickness direction of the copper bar 3. Correspondingly, the distance between the two clamping protrusions 30 is greater than the thickness of the limiting hole 110.
[0063] In other examples, along the direction away from the fixing plate 11, the distance between the two clamping side walls 30a can also be fixed and unchanged.
[0064] In other examples, the copper strip 3 may also be limited in the limiting hole 110 by other means, such as by gluing, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0065] In the related art, the end of the copper strip 3 away from the terminal 4 has a tendency to tilt along a first direction (the first direction is as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown by the arrow in the figure, in order to further prevent the copper strip 3 from tilting along the first direction, in some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the side of the fixing plate 11 facing away from the wiring terminal 4 further includes a plurality of limiting protrusions 111. The plurality of limiting protrusions 111 are located on the side of the limiting hole 110 away from the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 10, and respectively abut against the plurality of copper bars 3. Since the copper bars 3 extend out of the limiting hole 110, the setting of the limiting protrusions 111 can increase the force bearing area of the copper bars 3, thereby improving the limiting strength of the copper bars 3.
[0066] Exemplarily, the width of the limiting protrusion 111 is greater than or equal to the width of the limiting hole 110. Thus, the limiting protrusion 111 and the copper bar 3 have a larger contact area, thereby improving the limiting effect on the copper bar 3.
[0067] In some examples, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the fixing plate 11 divides the copper strip 3 into a first section 31 and a second section 32, and the second section 32 is located between the fixing plate 11 and the wiring terminal 4. The housing 1 also has a limiting rib 12, which is located on the side of the fixing plate 11 facing the wiring terminal 4. The second section 32 has an opening 320, and the limiting rib 12 passes through the opening 320. The limiting rib 12 and the opening 320 can prevent the second section 32 from shaking in the width direction, thereby preventing the copper strip 3 from shaking. In addition, when assembling the copper strip 3, the limiting rib 12 can also play a guiding role.
[0068] Exemplarily, the limiting rib 12 is in the shape of a long strip, and the length direction of the limiting rib 12 is perpendicular to the width direction of the copper strip 3. Correspondingly, the length direction of the first opening 32a is perpendicular to the width direction of the copper strip 3.
[0069] Of course, in other examples, the length direction of the limiting rib 12 may also be parallel to the width direction of the copper strip 3. Correspondingly, the length direction of the first opening 32a is parallel to the width direction of the copper strip 3.
[0070] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the second section 32 includes a first bending section 321 and a second bending section 322. The first bending section 321 is connected to the first section 31 and bends towards the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 10 relative to the first section 31. The second bending section 322 bends in a direction away from the fixing plate 11 relative to the first bending section 321. The opening 320 includes at least one of a first opening 32a and a second opening 32b. The first opening 32a is located in the first bending section 321, and the second opening 32b is located in the second bending section 322.
[0071] Exemplarily, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the opening 320 only includes the first opening 32a. The first opening 32a is located in the first bending section 321, and the limiting rib 12 passes through the first opening 32a. In this way, the limiting rib 12 can limit the first bending section 321, thereby preventing the first bending section 321 from shaking.
[0072] In another example, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the opening 320 only includes the second opening 32b. The second opening 32b is located in the second bending section 322, and the limiting rib 12 passes through the second opening 32b. In this way, the limiting rib 12 can limit the second bending section 322, thereby preventing the second bending section 322 from shaking.
[0073] In some other examples, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, the opening 320 includes both the first opening 32a and the second opening 32b at the same time. The second opening 32b is communicated with the first opening 32a, and the limiting rib 12 passes through the first opening 32a and the second opening 32b. In this way, the limiting rib 12 can simultaneously limit the first bending section 321 and the second bending section 322, so that neither the first bending section 321 nor the second bending section 322 is likely to shake in the width direction. Furthermore, the limiting of the copper bar 3 is strengthened, making the whole copper bar 3 not likely to shake.
[0074] In some examples, as Figure 11 shown, the first bending section 321 and the second bending section 322 are perpendicular to each other.
[0075] In some examples, as Figure 11 shown, the second section 32 may further include a third bending section 323. The second bending section 322 is located between the third bending section 323 and the first bending section 321. The extending direction of the third bending section 323 forms a certain angle with the extending direction of the second bending section 322. The third bending section 323 extends along a direction away from the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 10 and towards the direction of the terminal.
[0076] It can be understood that the specific shape of the copper bar 3 can be adaptively designed according to the specific positions and structures of the socket set 2 and the terminal 4.
[0077] In some examples, such as Figure 12 As shown, the housing 1 further includes a support rib 13. The support rib 13 is located on the side of the fixing plate 11 facing the terminal 4, and the support rib 13 abuts against the side of the second bent section 322 facing the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 10. The support rib 13 can support the second bent section 322, so that the second bent section 322 is not easily shaken in the up and down direction, thereby strengthening the limitation of the copper bar 3.
[0078] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the housing 1 further includes a stop rib 14. The stop rib 14 is fixed to the side of the fixing plate 11 facing the terminal 4, and the stop rib 14 abuts against the side of the first bent section 321 facing the fixing plate 11. The stop rib 14 can support the first bent section 321 and prevent the first bent section 321 from shifting in the direction towards the fixing plate 11.
[0079] In some examples, such as Figure 1 As shown, the socket further includes a switch assembly 100. The other ends of the plurality of copper bars 3 are electrically connected to the plurality of socket sets 2 through the switch assembly 100. In this way, it is possible to control whether the socket set 2 can draw power from an external power source by controlling the closing and opening of the switch 100. Among them, the switch 100 is connected to the N - pole socket set and the L - pole socket set through two jumpers 200, and the switch 100 is connected to the N - pole copper bar and the L - pole copper bar through two jumpers 200 respectively.
[0080] In some examples, such as Figure 12 As shown, one end of the copper bar 3 close to the terminal 4 has a plurality of grooves 3a. The plurality of grooves 3a are used to increase the friction between the copper bar 3 and the external power cord, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the copper bar 3 and the external power cord and preventing the external power cord from falling out of the crimping hole 40.
[0081] Exemplarily, the plurality of grooves 3a are arranged in parallel, and the length direction of the plurality of grooves 3a is parallel to the width direction of the copper bar 3.
[0082] In some examples, the housing 1 is an integral structure. In this way, the number of components in the socket can be reduced, thereby reducing the assembly process of the socket and reducing the cost of the socket.
[0083] Exemplarily, such as Figure 10As shown, the housing 1 further has a plurality of first partition ribs 1a and a plurality of second partition ribs 1b, and the first partition ribs 1a and the second partition ribs 1b are respectively located on both sides of the fixing plate 11. The first partition ribs 1a are used to separate the first segments 31 of different polarities, so that there is a large creepage distance between the first segments 31 of different polarities. Similarly, the second partition ribs 1b are used to separate the second segments 32 of different polarities. In this way, a large creepage distance can be achieved between the copper bars 3 of different polarities, thereby ensuring the electrical safety of the socket.
[0084] In some examples, as Figure 3 and Figure 10 shown, the housing 1 further has two mounting plates 1c, and the mounting plates 1c are fixed to the accommodating cavity 10 and located on the side of the fixing plate 11 facing the terminal 4. The mounting plates 1c are provided with mounting holes 1d, and the side wall of the terminal 4 has a buckle 4a, and the buckle 4a is snap-fitted with the mounting hole 1d, so as to realize the fixing of the terminal 4 in the housing 1.
[0085] In other examples, it may also be that the inner wall of the mounting plate 1c has a buckle, and the side wall of the terminal 4 has a slot, and the buckle is snap-fitted with the slot. The present disclosure does not specifically limit the snap-fitting manner of the terminal 4 and the mounting plate 1c.
[0086] The above are only optional embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the principle of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
