Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sockets and relates to a waterproof socket. Background Art
[0002] Sockets are typically mounted on walls, floors, or power strips. However, most sockets currently on the market are not waterproof. This means that if moisture seeps into the socket, it can easily cause a short circuit, potentially leading to a series of safety hazards. This problem is particularly prominent in environments where water is frequently used, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Therefore, to address this challenge, researchers have begun developing waterproof sockets. One common solution is to install a waterproof cover on the top of the socket to prevent water intrusion and improve safety.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a waterproof socket includes: a socket row 1, a fixing frame 2 and a power-on trigger component 3.
[0036] The fixing frame 2 is connected to the socket row 1 and is provided with an accommodating cavity 21;
[0037] The power-on trigger component 3 includes a power-on trigger part 31, a power-on linkage part 32 and a moving component 33. The power-on trigger part 31 is connected to the fixed frame 2, and the power-on trigger part 31 is provided with a first contact 311. The power-on linkage part 32 is connected to the fixed frame 2 and can be close to or away from the power-on trigger part 31. The power-on linkage part 32 is provided with a second contact 321. The moving component 33 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 21. The moving component 33 can be close to or away from the power-on trigger part 31 and can contact the power-on linkage part 32.
[0038] Specifically, after the plug pin is inserted into the waterproof socket, the pin pushes the movable component 33 accommodated in the accommodating cavity 21, so that the movable component 33 is close to the power-on trigger part 31. During this process, the movable component 33 contacts the power-on linkage part 32, so that the power-on linkage part 32 also approaches the power-on trigger part 31. When the second contact 321 on the power-on linkage part 32 contacts the first contact 311 on the power-on trigger part 31, the circuit of the waterproof socket is turned on.
[0039] In this embodiment, only when the plug is inserted into the waterproof socket can the movable component 33 be pushed to make the power trigger part 31 contact with the power linkage part 32 to achieve circuit conduction, ensuring the ability to prevent electric shock during daily use.
[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the moving component 33 includes a first push rod 331 and a second push rod 332, and the fixing frame 2 is provided with a two-leg hole group 22 and a three-leg hole group 23. The first push rod 331 is slidably connected to the fixing frame 2 and can cover or expose the three-leg hole group 23, and the second push rod 332 is slidably connected to the fixing frame 2 and can cover or expose the two-leg hole group 22.

The second push rod 332 is slidably disposed on the fixing frame 2 and can cover the two-leg hole group 22 on the fixing frame 2 to prevent foreign objects from falling into the two-leg hole group 22 when not in use.
[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the first push rod 331 is provided with a first driving inclined surface 3311 , and the second push rod 332 is provided with a second driving inclined surface 3321 .
[0043] Specifically, when a three-pin plug is inserted, the pins of the three-pin socket contact the first driving bevel 3311, pushing the first push rod 331 toward the power trigger part 31; when a two-pin plug is inserted, the pins of the two-pin socket contact the second driving bevel 3321, pushing the second push rod 332 toward the power trigger part 31.
[0044] In this embodiment, the first driving inclined surface 3311 and the second driving inclined surface 3321 convert the movement direction of the plug pin into a movement direction approaching the power-on triggering portion 31 along with the first push rod 331 and the second push rod 332 .
[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the moving component 33 also includes a first return spring 333, one end of the first return spring 333 contacts the fixed frame 2, and the other end of the first return spring 333 contacts the first push rod 331, and the first return spring 333 can drive the first push rod 331 to cover the tripod hole group 23, and the moving component 33 also includes a second return spring 334, one end of the second return spring 334 contacts the fixed frame 2, and the other end of the second return spring 334 contacts the second push rod 332, and the second return spring 334 can drive the second push rod 332 to cover the two-leg hole group 22.
[0046] Specifically, when the plug is not inserted into the waterproof socket, the first return spring 333 drives the first push rod 331 away from the power trigger part 31, so that the first push rod 331 can block the three-pin hole group 23, and the second return spring 334 drives the second push rod 332 away from the power trigger part 31, so that the second push rod 332 can block the two-pin hole group 22.
[0047] In this embodiment, the first return spring 333 and the second return spring 334 push the first push rod 331 and the second push rod 332, which can not only enable the first push rod 331 and the second push rod 332 to block the three-pin hole group 23 and the two-pin hole group 22 to prevent foreign objects from falling into, but also provide a certain clamping force for the plug pins inserted into the waterproof socket, thereby enhancing the fixation of the plug.
[0048] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, it further includes a limiter 4, which is arranged on the fixing frame 2. The limiter 4 can contact the first push rod 331, thereby limiting the maximum moving distance of the first push rod 331.
[0049] Specifically, the limit member 4 is arranged on the fixing frame 2. When the first return spring 333 pushes the first push rod 331 to move, it can contact the limit member 4. When the plug pin is inserted, the pin is inserted between the limit member 4 and the first push rod 331, thereby contacting the first driving inclined surface 3311.
[0050] In this embodiment, the limiting member 4 can keep the first push rod 331 in a suitable position, which can not only cover the tripod hole group 23, but also ensure that the plug pins are accurately in contact with the first driving inclined surface 3311 when the plug pins are inserted, thereby improving the reliability of the waterproof socket.
[0051] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the first push rod 331 is provided with a first trigger rod 3312, and the first push rod 331 can contact the energized linkage member 32 through the first trigger rod 3312, and the second push rod 332 is provided with a second trigger rod 3322, and the second push rod 332 can contact the energized linkage member 32 through the second trigger rod 3322.
[0052] In this embodiment, the first push rod 331 contacts the power-on linkage part 32 through the first trigger rod 3312, and the second push rod 332 contacts the power-on linkage part 32 through the second trigger rod 3322. The first push rod 331 and the second push rod 332 can be displaced a short distance to push the power-on linkage part 32, so that the circuit of the waterproof socket is turned on.
[0053] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the first trigger rod 3312 includes a first trigger block 33121 and a first trigger spring 33122, the first trigger spring 33122 is located between the first push rod 331 and the first trigger block 33121, one end of the first trigger spring 33122 contacts the first push rod 331, and the other end of the first trigger spring 33122 contacts the first trigger block 33121, the second trigger rod 3322 includes a second trigger block 33221 and a second trigger spring 33222, the second trigger spring 33222 is located between the second push rod 332 and the second trigger block 33221, one end of the second trigger spring 33222 contacts the second push rod 332, and the other end of the second trigger spring 33222 contacts the second trigger block 33221.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first trigger rod 3312 is composed of a first trigger block 33121 and a first trigger spring 33122, and the second trigger rod 3322 is composed of a second trigger block 33221 and a second trigger spring 33222. Through the first trigger spring 33122 and the second trigger spring 33222, when the first push rod 331 and the second push rod 332 are pushed, the thrust can be smoothly transmitted to the energized linkage 32, reducing the risk of wear or damage caused by direct hard contact, and improving the reliability and durability of the waterproof socket.
[0055] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the first push rod 331 is provided with a first guide protrusion 3313, the first trigger block 33121 is provided with a second guide protrusion 33123, one end of the first trigger spring 33122 is sleeved on the first guide protrusion 3313, the other end of the first trigger spring 33122 is sleeved on the second guide protrusion 33123, the second push rod 332 is provided with a third guide protrusion 3323, the second trigger block 33221 is provided with a fourth guide protrusion 33223, one end of the second trigger spring 33222 is sleeved on the third guide protrusion 3323, and the other end of the second trigger spring 33222 is sleeved on the fourth guide protrusion 33223.
[0056] In this embodiment, one end of the first trigger spring 33122 is sleeved on the first guide protrusion 3313, and the other end is sleeved on the second guide protrusion 33123. One end of the second trigger spring 33222 is sleeved on the third guide protrusion 3323, and the other end is sleeved on the fourth guide protrusion 33223. Through the guide protrusions sleeved on both ends of the first trigger spring 33122 and the second trigger spring 33222, the first push rod 331 and the second push rod 332 are not easily offset during the movement.
[0057] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a watertight sleeve 5, which is a flexible part. The watertight sleeve 5 is connected to the fixing frame 2 and passes through the fixing frame 2. The first trigger rod 3312 or the second trigger rod 3322 contacts one side of the watertight sleeve 5, and the energized linkage part 32 contacts the other side of the watertight sleeve 5.
[0058] Specifically, the first trigger rod 3312 and the second trigger rod 3322 contact the energized linkage member 32 through the waterproof sleeve 5 . Since the waterproof sleeve 5 is a flexible member, it can move along with the first trigger rod 3312 or the second trigger rod 3322 .
[0059] In this embodiment, the first trigger rod 3312 and the second trigger rod 3322 contact the power-on linkage part 32 through the waterproof sleeve 5, which can not only transmit the movement of the first trigger rod 3312 and the second trigger rod 3322 to the power-on linkage part 32, but also prevent water flowing into the accommodating cavity 21 from affecting the circuit, thereby enhancing the waterproofness of the waterproof socket.
[0060] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a water-proof component 6, and the water-proof component 6 includes a first water-proof frame 61 and a second water-proof frame 62. The first water-proof frame 61 and the second water-proof frame 62 are both accommodated in the accommodating cavity 21. The first water-proof frame 61 is provided with a first water-proof space 611, and the second water-proof frame 62 is provided with a second water-proof space 621. The first push rod 331 is accommodated in the first water-proof space 611, and the second push rod 332 is accommodated in the second water-proof space 621.
[0061] Specifically, the first water-proof frame 61 and the second water-proof frame 62 divide the accommodating chamber 21 into a first water-proof space 611 and a second water-proof space 621. When a three-pin plug is inserted, the three-pin plug will block the three-pin hole group 23, and only the three-pin hole group 23 will be energized. When water flows in from the two-pin hole group 22, electric shock will not occur because the second water-proof space 621 and the first water-proof space 611 are not connected and the two-pin hole group 22 is not energized.
[0062] In this embodiment, the first water-blocking frame 61 and the second water-blocking frame 62 separate the areas where the three-pin hole group 23 and the two-pin hole group 22 are powered, so that when one side is powered, water on the other side will not flow into the powered side, further optimizing the waterproof capability of the waterproof socket.
