[0026] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in multiple embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them, and the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a socket, comprising: a socket body 1, with a slot 2 provided on its upper surface. The slot 2 may have two or three holes to accommodate plugs of different types of electrical devices. A light-emitting ring 3 is provided on the socket body 1. When the socket body 1 receives different mode signals, it transmits the different mode signals to the light-emitting ring 3 to achieve the lighting effects of the light-emitting ring 3 in different modes. In this embodiment, the light-emitting ring 3 can be provided on the outer ring of the side of the socket body 1, or on the outer ring at the upper end of the socket body 1 that connects to the upper surface, without limitation.
[0029] In this embodiment, the light-emitting circle 3 is composed of multiple lamp beads 9. After receiving the mode signal, the socket body 1 sends the mode signal to the lamp beads 9, thereby generating a lighting effect. The lamp beads 9 can be LED lamps, OLED lamps or other lamps.
[0030] Different mode signals include color streaming mode signals, monochrome streaming mode signals or monochrome switch mode signals. The color streaming mode signals include the following information: color string information of each lamp bead 9 when the socket is powered on, display time interval information of adjacent colors in the color string under the same lamp bead 9, and first display information of each lamp bead 9 when the socket is powered off.
[0031] The color string information of each lamp bead 9, for example, the light-emitting circle 3 is composed of 4 lamp beads 9, which are numbered "01", "02", "03" and "04" respectively. The color string information of the lamp bead 9 numbered "01" is: red, green, blue and yellow; the color string information of the lamp bead 9 numbered "02" is: green, yellow, red and blue; the color string information of the lamp bead 9 numbered "03" is: yellow, red, blue and green; the color string information of the lamp bead 9 numbered "04" is: blue, green, yellow and red.
[0032] The display time interval information of adjacent colors in the color string under the same lamp bead 9, for example: the display time interval of adjacent colors in the lamp bead 9 numbered "01" is 2s, that is, the lamp bead 9 first displays red for 2s, then displays the next color green for 2s, then displays the next color blue for 2s, and finally displays the last color yellow for 2s, and so on. The display time interval and display order of adjacent colors in lamp beads 9 with other numbers are similar, so we will not go into details about them.
[0033] In addition, in order to achieve the streaming effect, the streaming mode signal also includes the display time interval information between each lamp bead 9. For example, under the color streaming mode signal, the display time interval between lamp bead 9 numbered "01" and lamp bead 9 numbered "02" is 1ms, the display time interval between lamp bead 9 numbered "02" and lamp bead 9 numbered "03" is 1ms, and the display time interval between lamp bead 9 numbered "03" and lamp bead 9 numbered "04" is 1ms, that is, after lamp bead 9 numbered "01" displays the first color red for 1ms, lamp bead 9 numbered "02" begins to display the first color green, after lamp bead 9 numbered "02" displays the first color green for 1ms, lamp bead 9 numbered "03" begins to display the first color yellow, after lamp bead 9 numbered "03" displays the first color yellow for 1ms, lamp bead 9 numbered "04" begins to display the first color blue, and the cycle repeats.
[0034] In addition, when the socket is in a power-off state, the first display information of each lamp bead 9 may be, for example, the first display information that each lamp bead 9 maintains the current color. Of course, it may also be other information, and there is no limitation on this.
[0035] The monochrome streamer mode signal includes the following information: color information of each lamp bead 9 when the socket is powered, time interval information of color change of the same lamp bead 9, and second display information of each lamp bead 9 when the socket is powered off.
[0036] The color information of each lamp bead 9 is still taken as an example that the light-emitting circle 3 is composed of 4 lamp beads 9. The 4 lamp beads 9 have only one color and are all blue.
[0037] The time interval information of the color change under the same lamp bead 9, for example, the display time interval of the color in the lamp bead 9 numbered "01" is 1s, that is, the lamp bead 9 flashes to display blue, the flashing interval is 1s, and it repeats. The display time intervals of the colors in the lamp beads 9 with other numbers are similar, so I will not go into details about this.
[0038] Similarly, in order to achieve the streaming effect, the monochrome streaming mode signal also includes the display time interval information between each lamp bead 9, such as the display time interval between lamp bead 9 numbered "01" and lamp bead 9 numbered "02", the display time interval between lamp bead 9 numbered "02" and lamp bead 9 numbered "03", and the display time interval between lamp bead 9 numbered "03" and lamp bead 9 numbered "04", that is, after lamp bead 9 numbered "01" displays blue for 1ms, lamp bead 9 numbered "02" starts to display blue, after lamp bead 9 numbered "02" displays blue for 1ms, lamp bead 9 numbered "03" starts to display blue, and after lamp bead 9 numbered "03" displays blue for 1ms, lamp bead 9 numbered "04" starts to display blue, and the cycle repeats.
[0039] The second display information of each lamp bead 9 when the socket is in a power-off state, for example, the second display information is to turn off or turn off the display of the lamp bead 9.
[0040] The monochrome switch mode signal includes the following information: color information of each lamp bead 9 when the socket is powered on, and third display information of each lamp bead 9 when the socket is powered off.
[0041] The color information of each lamp bead 9 is still taken as an example that the light-emitting circle 3 is composed of 4 lamp beads 9. The 4 lamp beads 9 have only one color and are all yellow. Under the monochrome switching mode signal, the 4 lamp beads 9 all statically display yellow.
[0042] The third display information of each lamp bead 9 when the socket is in a power-off state, for example, the third display information is to turn off or close the display of the lamp bead 9.
[0043] In this embodiment, the different mode signals further include: a power mode signal, which includes the following information: power information of the current socket and color information of each corresponding lamp bead 9 .
[0044] At different power levels, the lamp beads 9 display different colors. For example, if the current socket power is 500W, all four lamp beads 9 display red; if the current socket power is 1000W, all four lamp beads 9 display yellow; and if the current socket power is 2000W, all four lamp beads 9 display blue. Of course, the four lamp beads 9 can also display different color effects according to different power levels, and there is no limitation to this.
[0045] In this embodiment, the socket displays different lighting effects on the light-emitting circle 3 according to the different mode signals received, so that the current operating mode or state of the socket can be determined according to the lighting effects.
[0046] Example 2
[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a socket, and this embodiment further defines the socket in Example 1.
[0048] In this embodiment, the socket includes: a signal transceiver module 4 and a current regulating module 5, wherein the signal pin of the current regulating module 5 is connected to the signal transceiver module 4;
[0049] The signal transceiver module 4 (such as Ai-WB2-01M) sends the current regulation signal to the current regulation module 5 according to the received current regulation signal, so that the current regulation module 5 adjusts the output current value to the value specified by the current regulation signal. For example, the current regulation module 5 is a switch module. When the current regulation signal indicates disconnection (indicating that the output current is 0) or opening (for example, indicating that the output current is the rated current), the switch module correspondingly executes disconnection (output current is 0) or opening (output current is the rated current value). The current regulation module 5 can also be a thyristor electronic debugger, which outputs a specified current value or a value within a certain range of error from the specified current value according to the value indicated by the current regulation signal.
[0050] In this embodiment, the output current value can be adjusted through the current regulating module 5, so that the current socket working parameters can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and the operation is more flexible.
[0051] The socket of this embodiment further includes: a power module 6, a detection resistor 7, and a power module 8. The signal pin of the lamp bead 9 is connected to the signal transceiver module 4, and the power module 6 is connected to the current regulation module 5, the signal transceiver module 4, and the lamp bead 9 respectively to provide power.
[0052] The power module 8 (such as BL0942) is connected to a pin of the detection resistor 7 for obtaining the voltage of the detection resistor 7. The power module 8 is connected to a pin of the current regulation module 5 for obtaining the current of the branch where the current regulation module 5 is located. The power module 8 is connected to the signal transceiver module 4 for sending the power information calculated from the obtained voltage and current to the signal transceiver module 4. In addition, the power module 8 can count the currently accumulated power and send the accumulated power to the signal transceiver module 4.
[0053] The socket further includes: a voltage conversion module 10 for converting AC voltage into DC voltage. One pin of the voltage conversion module 10 is connected to the power module 6 , and one pin is connected to each lamp bead 9 .
[0054] The socket further includes: a step-down module 11 , wherein one pin of the step-down module 11 is connected to the voltage conversion module 10 , and another pin of the step-down module 11 is connected to the signal transceiver module 4 .
[0055] The socket also includes: a button module 12, the signal pin of the button module 12 is connected to the signal transceiver module 4, when the button module 12 detects a trigger signal, it sends a wake-up signal to the signal transceiver module 4 so as to adjust the current regulation module 5 to the on state, when the button module 12 detects a trigger signal again, it sends a shut-down signal to the signal transceiver module 4 so as to adjust the current regulation module 5 to the off state.
[0056] In this embodiment, there are multiple lamp beads 9, which are connected in series. The signal output end of the previous lamp bead 9 is connected to the signal input end of the next lamp bead 9 to achieve signal distribution and transmission.
[0057] The main working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when the signal transceiver module 4 receives the current regulation signal, the specified current value is output through the current regulation module 5, and the power value calculated by the power module 8 is input to the signal transceiver module 4, and the signal transceiver module 4 sends the power mode signal to each lamp bead 9 according to the power value, so as to achieve different display effects of the lamp bead 9 under different powers; when the signal transceiver module 4 receives a color streaming mode signal, a monochrome streaming mode signal or a monochrome switch mode signal, the received signal is sent to each lamp bead 9, so as to achieve different display effects of the lamp bead 9 under different mode signals. The above-mentioned signal can be remotely sent through the client or the cloud to realize the control of the socket. In addition, the socket can also be controlled by manually triggering the button module 12.
