Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sockets, in particular to a novel splash-proof switch socket. Background Art

[0002] A switch and socket is a common electrical device used to control the power on and off of electrical appliances and provide a power interface for them. It is usually installed on the wall or other easily accessible locations and is an indispensable electrical accessory in homes, offices and other places. The existing design of setting switches and sockets together is simple and beautiful. The integrated design can reduce the space required to install multiple devices separately on the wall.

[0003] Sockets typically have large openings to accommodate plugs of various shapes and sizes. These openings provide a direct path for moisture to enter the internal circuits. In contrast, most switches have a flat surface with only small operating buttons or knobs, and these parts are usually closed. Therefore, water vapor can more easily corrode the switch socket through the opening of the socket, thereby affecting the entire device.

[0004] The socket openings of existing switches and sockets are easily corroded by water vapor. The conventional method of covering the sockets with waterproof covers has defects. In actual use, users often forget to put on the waterproof covers. Moreover, the waterproof covers are movably buckled on the outside of the switch sockets, and water vapor can easily enter through the gap between the two, resulting in poor waterproof effect. Therefore, we propose a new type of splashproof switch socket to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems raised in the above background technology and to propose a novel splash-proof switch socket.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 A new type of splash-proof switch socket comprises a shell 1, the front side of the shell 1 is provided with two holes, three holes 2 and a switch button 3, the front side of the shell 1 is horizontally slidably installed with two baffles 4, the two baffles 4 are symmetrically arranged and respectively cover the two holes and the three holes 2, a dial plate 5 is provided on the front side of the baffle 4, two pressing sleeves 6 are fixedly installed on the front side of the shell 1, the top of the pressing sleeve 6 is open, the bottom of the baffle 4 is fixedly installed with a bottom plate 7, a folding plate 8 is slidably installed on the front inner wall of the pressing sleeve 6, a plurality of pressing springs 9 are fixedly installed between one side of the folding plate 8 and the corresponding front inner wall of the pressing sleeve 6, a plurality of guide plates 10 are fixedly installed on the front side of the folding plate 8, and the guide plate 10 is slidably installed on the front inner wall of the corresponding pressing sleeve 6.

[0024] It should be noted that, as shown in the accompanying drawings of the specification, at this time the baffle 4 covers the front side of the two openings, and the pressing spring 9 is in a compressed state. The pressing spring 9 presses the bottom plate 7 to the front side of the outer shell 1 by cooperating with the folding plate 8, so that the rear side of the baffle 4 is tightly fitted with the front side of the outer shell 1, thereby improving the waterproof performance; the folding plate 8 includes an arc segment and two staggered parallel segments, so that the front side of the bottom plate 7 can move along the rear side of the folding plate 8.

[0025] As shown in the figure, two reset frames 11 are fixedly installed on the front side of the shell 1, and a top plate 12 is fixedly installed on the top side of the baffle 4. The top plate 12 is slidably installed in the corresponding reset frame 11. A reset spring 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the top plate 12, and one end of the reset spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the corresponding reset frame 11.

[0026] A same limit plate 14 is fixedly installed between the left and right inner walls of the reset frame 11, and the top plate 12 is slidably mounted on the corresponding limit plate 14. The limit plate 14 and the reset spring 13 are arranged to guide and reset the top plate 12.

[0027] In this embodiment, a rivet plate is provided on the left side of the baffle 4 located on the right, and a rivet groove 15 is provided on the right side of the baffle 4 located on the left. The rivet plate is adapted to the rivet groove 15. The cooperation of the rivet plate and the rivet groove 15 increases the stability of the two baffles 4. The two baffles 4 are prevented from displacement by mutual clamping, resulting in a gap between the baffles 4 and the outer shell 1, thereby reducing the waterproof performance.

[0028] In this embodiment, a plurality of built-in grooves are provided on the rear side of the baffle 4, and abutment plates 16 are slidably installed in the built-in grooves. The abutment plates 16 are arranged in a trapezoidal shape, and the four side surfaces of the abutment plates 16 are all arranged as inclined surfaces.

[0029] It is worth noting that the inner wall of the socket hole is designed to be beveled instead of straight, making it easier to insert the plug into the socket. Since the bevel provides a smoother insertion process, this helps reduce friction and wear between the metal contact points inside the plug and the socket, thereby extending the service life of the socket.

[0030] Furthermore, the inner walls of the two holes and the three holes 2 are set to be inclined surfaces, and these inclined surfaces are facing the outside of the shell 1. Through the cooperation of the abutment plate 16 and the support spring, the inclined surface of the abutment plate 16 is abutted against the inclined surfaces of the two holes or the three holes 2, preventing water vapor from entering the two holes or the three holes 2, further improving the waterproof performance of the socket, and since the joints between the abutment plate 16 and the two holes or the three holes 2 are inclined surfaces, the horizontal movement of the baffle 4 will not be hindered.

[0031] A plurality of support springs are fixedly mounted on an inner wall of one side of the built-in groove, and one end of the support spring is fixedly connected to the corresponding abutment plate 16 .

[0032] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: by pressing the dial plate 5, the baffle 4 and the top plate 12 are driven to move to one side and the reset spring 13 is compressed, exposing the two or three holes 2, and the plug can be inserted into the socket. After the plug is pulled out, the reset spring 13 drives the slide plate 12 to reset, so that the baffle 4 automatically covers the socket. The baffle 4 covers the two or three holes 2 to prevent water vapor from splashing into the shell 1. The baffle 4 is tightly pressed to the surface of the shell 1 through the cooperation of the folding plate 8 and the pressing spring 9, and the cooperation of the rivet groove 15 and the riveted plate limits the movement of the baffle 4, prevents the formation of a gap between the baffle 4 and the shell 1, and improves the waterproof performance.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are intended only to help illustrate the present invention. The preferred embodiments do not describe all details in detail, nor do they limit the present invention to the specific embodiments described. Obviously, many modifications and variations are possible based on the contents of this specification. These embodiments are selected and described in detail in this specification to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present invention, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize the present invention. The present invention is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
