Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic power, in particular to a replaceable inlaid modular socket. Background Art
[0002] Most traditional sockets can only accommodate one type of plug. However, there are differences in plug specifications between different countries, but the main difference is the hole position. Most other parts can be universal. However, today's sockets are often customized according to the specifications of the corresponding country, which leads to large development investment, mainly design costs and mold and jig development costs. In addition, in principle, parts that can be shared have to be redesigned, resulting in a large amount of unnecessary cost investment. In addition, workers must be familiar with the assembly process for different sockets, which affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0033] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Example 1, see Figure 1-Figure 7 as well as Figure 9 As shown, the utility model provides a replaceable inlaid modular socket, including a mounting frame 1, in which a plurality of socket modules 3 are arranged, and two through holes 18 are provided at the bottom of the socket modules 3. A terminal housing 11 is installed at the bottom of the socket modules 3, and a rear cover 2 is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 1. An N-polarity terminal 12 and an L-polarity terminal 13 are provided between the rear cover 2 and the terminal housing 11. The terminal housing 11 has two cavities, which respectively correspond to the two through holes 18 of the same socket module 3. The N-polarity terminal 12 and the L-polarity terminal 13 are respectively installed in the two cavities of the terminal housing 11.
[0035] A positioning assembly 6 is provided between the socket module 3 and the terminal housing 11 for limiting the installation position of the terminal housing 11 .
[0036] The product is mainly used in high-end UPS and other output devices in various countries around the world. The disadvantage of the existing technology is that the sockets and connections are single and the application range is narrow. For example, modular sockets include French modules, German modules, Italian modules, etc., which can be adapted to plugs in different countries. Their external assembly dimensions are unified, but the internal structure maintains its uniqueness.
[0037] The internal structure of the socket maximizes the use of similar parts while meeting the characteristics of each module. For example, French, German and Italian socket modules share protective doors, springs and terminal housings, N and L polarity terminals, a back cover and fastening screws, and a grounding clip, thereby reducing part development costs and mold investment costs, as well as part production and processing costs and semi-finished product assembly costs.
[0038] As an optional embodiment, the positioning assembly 6 includes a limiting sleeve 4 and a fixing sleeve 5, which are respectively fixed on the socket module 3 and the terminal housing 11, and the fixing sleeve 5 is inserted into the limiting sleeve 4. The terminal housing 11 can be limited by cooperating with the limiting sleeve 4 and the fixing sleeve 5.
[0039] A protective door assembly 14 is provided in the fixing sleeve 5 to prevent accidental electric shock.
[0040] The protective door assembly 14 includes a protective door 16 and a fixing column 19. The fixing column 19 is fixed to the terminal housing 11. The protective door 16 is slidably set on the fixing column 19. The protective door 16 is provided with two inclined surfaces 20, and the two inclined surfaces 20 correspond to the two through holes 18 respectively. The protective door 16 is provided with two fulcrums 24, and the fulcrums 24 contact the upper side of the terminal housing 11. The bottom of the protective door 16 is provided with two locking blocks 22. The terminal housing 11 is provided with two circular holes 25, and the two locking blocks 22 correspond to the two circular holes 25 respectively.
[0041] If a child inserts a finger into one of the through-holes 18, the finger will not directly contact the N-polarity terminal 12 or the L-polarity terminal 13, but will press on the protective door 16. At this time, the protective door 16 will tilt under the push of the finger. After tilting, the locking block 22 will enter the circular hole 25 and contact the inner wall of the circular hole 25. Since the locking block 22 is blocked by the circular hole 25, the protective door 16 cannot rotate. At this time, the protective door 16 will always block the through-hole 18 and the N-polarity terminal 12 and the L-polarity terminal 13, preventing the finger from being electrocuted.
[0042] However, if the plug is inserted normally, the two electrodes of the plug cooperate with the two inclined surfaces 20 to push the protection door 16 to rotate, causing the protection door 16 to be misaligned with the through hole 18, and then the electrodes of the plug can be inserted into the N polarity terminal 12 and the L polarity terminal 13.
[0043] The circular hole 25 corresponds to the through hole 18 .
[0044] A fixing plate 21 is fixed on the protection door 16, and a spring 15 is provided between the fixing plate 21 and the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 5, and the two ends of the spring 15 are fixed to the fixing plate 21 and the fixing sleeve 5 respectively. When the plug is unplugged, the spring 15 can drive the protection door 16 to reset.
[0045] A grounding clip 7 is installed in the socket module 3, and a grounding connector 8 is provided between several grounding clips 7, and all grounding clips 7 are electrically connected through the grounding connector 8. A card block 10 is provided on the grounding clip 7, and several card slots 9 are opened on the grounding connector 8, and the card block 10 is plugged into the card slot 9.
[0046] Example 2, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6-Figure 9 As shown, the only difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is the following:
[0047] Grounding rivets 17 are installed in the socket module 3 , and a second grounding connecting piece 23 is provided between a plurality of grounding rivets 17 , and all the grounding rivets 17 are electrically connected via the second grounding connecting piece 23 .
[0048] With the above structure, the socket module 3 can be replaced individually, and the other components of the device can be adapted to different socket modules 3;
[0049] The plug of the electrical appliance is inserted into the socket module 3 and can be electrically connected to the N polarity terminal 12 and the L polarity terminal 13;
[0050] The terminal housing 11 provides a mounting position for the N-polarity terminal 12 and the L-polarity terminal 13. At the same time, the terminal housing 11 can retract the N-polarity terminal 12 and the L-polarity terminal 13 to ensure that the N-polarity terminal 12 and the L-polarity terminal 13 can fit tightly with the conductive sheet of the plug.
[0051] The positioning assembly 6 can limit the installation position of the terminal housing 11 to avoid the terminal housing 11 being installed in reverse during assembly. The protective door assembly 14 can prevent children from inserting their fingers or wires into the terminal housing 11 and causing electric shock.
[0052] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
