[0001] The utility model relates to the field of socket protective shells, in particular to a protective shell for an electric connector socket. Background Art
[0002] As an important connecting element between electronic devices, electrical connector sockets carry multiple functions such as transmitting current, signals, and realizing circuit connection and disconnection;
[0003] As the degree of automation in today's society increases, the variety and usage of electrical appliances increase year by year, and the demand for electrical connectors and sockets also increases.
[0004] However, the sockets of electrical connector sockets in the prior art are generally not shielded. Power can be turned on by simply plugging the power cord directly into the socket. This poses certain safety hazards during use. For example, people can easily accidentally insert metal wires or other conductive foreign objects into the socket, causing power outages or electric shocks. This is especially serious for families with children. Once a child accidentally inserts a finger or a conductive foreign object into the socket, extremely serious consequences may occur. Therefore, we propose a protective shell for an electrical connector socket to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 The utility model provides a protective shell for an electrical connector socket, which includes a socket body 100. The outer side of the socket body 100 is provided with a protective shell unit 200 for providing protection for the socket body 100 and providing support for the charging plug. The protective shell unit 200 is provided with an adjustment unit 300 for adjusting the support angle according to different sizes of mobile phone charging plugs and is suitable for the support angles required by mobile phone charging plugs of different sizes. When some electrical connector sockets are used for a long time or are of poor quality, causing the mobile phone charger to automatically fall off and no longer be able to charge, the protective shell unit 200 is required to cooperate with the adjustment unit 300 to provide a support for the mobile phone charging plug to prevent the mobile phone charging plug from falling off.
[0031] The protective housing unit 200 includes two sets of first hinge blocks 101 symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the socket body 100. Two sets of second hinge blocks 103 are also symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the socket body 100. A rotating shaft 102 is hinged between the two sets of first hinge blocks 101 and the two sets of second hinge blocks 103, so that the protective housing unit 200 can be flipped along the rotating shaft 102.
[0032] A torsion spring slot 104 is provided inside the second hinge block 103, and a torsion spring 105 is fixedly connected inside the torsion spring slot 104. One end of the torsion spring 105 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 102. The first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 203 are rotatably connected to the two sets of rotating shafts 102 respectively. A first insulating pad 202 is fixedly connected to one side of the first flip cover 201, and a second insulating pad 204 is fixedly connected to one side of the second flip cover 203. An adjustment slot 205 is provided on one side of the second flip cover 203 and the second insulating pad 204 for cooperating to realize the adjustment function of the adjustment unit 300. A rotation slot 206 is provided inside one side of the second flip cover 203, and one end of the rotation slot 206 is provided with a thread.
[0033] The torsion spring 105 is used to provide elastic force for the first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 203 to adhere to the surface of the socket body 100. In the initial state, one end of the first flip cover 201 is located below the second flip cover 203, and the second flip cover 203 has a turning force exerted by the torsion spring 105, and the turning force is greater than the weight of the second flip cover 203 itself, so that the second flip cover 203 and the first flip cover 201 can adhere to the surface of the socket body 100. The first flip cover 201 and the second flip cover 203 adhering to the surface of the socket body 100 can play a protective role, avoiding accidental electric shock and preventing dust from accumulating in the socket hole of the electrical connector socket and affecting conductivity. The first insulating pad 202 and the second insulating pad 204 can prevent leakage when a short circuit occurs in the electrical connector socket, and can also effectively reduce the entry of dust into the socket hole of the electrical connector socket.
[0034] The adjustment unit 300 includes an adjustment rod 301 threadedly connected to the rotating groove 206. A first slot 302 is defined at one end of the adjustment rod 301. The adjustment unit 300 also includes a support block 303 disposed within the adjustment groove 205. A second slot 304 is defined within the support block 303. One end of the adjustment rod 301 engages with the second slot 304. A wire slot 305 is defined on one side of the support block 303. The adjustment rod 301 cooperates with the rotating groove 206 to adjust the deflection angle of the support block 303. The wire slot 305 is used to engage the wires of a mobile phone charging plug.
[0035] When using, when you need to charge your mobile phone or connect other electrical devices, at this time, because the electrical connector socket has been used for a long time or is of poor quality, the plug will automatically fall off and charging will no longer be possible;
[0036] First, flip open the second flip cover 203 and the first flip cover 201, and insert the plug into the socket. Hold the plug with one hand, and use the other hand to rotate the adjustment rod 301 to adjust the angle of the support block 303 to a suitable angle so that the wires of the plug can be engaged in the wire slot 305. Then you can release your hand. Under the action of the restoring force of the torsion spring 105 on the second flip cover 203, the restoring force of the torsion spring 105 on the second flip cover 203 is greater than the sum of the weights of the second flip cover 203 and the plug, so that the second flip cover 203 can effectively support the plug, thereby preventing the plug from falling.
[0037] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
