Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of socket technology, and in particular relates to a sealed socket structure for use in biosafety laboratories. Background Technology

[0002] A socket, also known as a power socket or switch socket, is used to connect other circuits and enable them to be powered. Sockets are usually fixedly installed on the ground, walls, etc. Regardless of the type, they all have a common structure including a shell, a socket, an internal metal conductor, and a connection structure for connecting external lines.

[0003] Most sockets nowadays have anti-electric shock structures, which are usually set inside the electrical outlet and use springs and partitions. However, although this structure can prevent electric shock, its sealing and waterproofing are low. Water can easily enter the electrical outlet through the gaps in the partitions, causing a short circuit. In addition, water is easy to adhere to the surface of the socket panel. When the plug is inserted, water will enter the socket along with the metal contacts of the plug. Utility Model Content

[0018] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0019] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0020] This utility model embodiment provides a sealed socket structure for a biosafety laboratory, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the socket panel 1 includes a sliding groove on both its left and right sides, with a slider 2 slidably installed in each groove. Connecting blocks 3 are installed on the sides of both sets of sliders 2. A cover plate 4 is installed on the side of the two sets of connecting blocks 3 that are close to each other. The cover plate 4 covers and fits against the surface of the socket panel 1. Two sets of sliding grooves are symmetrically arranged at the socket port of the socket panel 1, with a baffle 5 slidably installed in each groove. A first spring 6 is installed in each groove of the socket panel 1, with its movable end connected to the baffle 5. The two sets of baffles 5 abut against each other, and the outer surfaces of both sets of baffles 5 are beveled. A plug plate 13 is installed on the side of the baffle 5. One type of baffle 5 has a slot on the side that matches the plug plate 13. By installing two baffles 5 at the power connection port, the socket can prevent dust and water from entering the power connection port. By providing a cover plate 4, when the socket panel 1 is not in use, the cover plate 4 can completely cover the surface of the socket panel 1, thereby completely sealing it and playing a role in waterproofing and dustproofing. This prevents water from adhering to the panel surface and entering the power connection port when the plug is inserted. This is more effective than simply setting a waterproof structure at the power connection port. At the same time, the cover plate 4 adopts a sliding installation structure, which makes it very convenient to use.

[0021] The slider 2 has a groove inside, and a second spring 7 is installed in the groove. The movable end of the second spring 7 is connected to a washer 8. The end of the washer 8 away from the second spring 7 is connected to a locking block 9. The outer end of the locking block 9 is set as an arc surface. The inner side wall of the slide of the socket panel 1 has a slot that matches the locking block 9. With the second spring 7 and the locking block 9, when the cover plate 4 is placed on the surface of the socket panel 1, the locking block 9 is locked into the slot in the slide of the socket panel 1 under the elastic force of the second spring 7. This allows it to cover more stably and avoids gaps caused by the cover plate 4 not being fully reset.

[0022] The socket panel 1 has a groove on the outside of the power inlet, and a rubber ring 10 is embedded in the groove. With the rubber ring 10, when the plug is inserted into the surface of the socket panel 1, the inner surface of the plug is tightly fitted with the rubber ring 10, thereby preventing water from flowing in from the gap between the plug and the socket panel 1, thus further improving the sealing performance of the socket.

[0023] Two sets of sealing plates 11 are vertically and symmetrically installed on the inner side of the baffle 5. The surface of the socket panel 1 is provided with a sealing groove corresponding to the sealing plate 11. By providing the sealing plate 11, when the cover plate 4 is placed on the surface of the socket panel 1, the sealing plate 11 is tightly fitted with the sealing groove of the socket panel 1, thereby further increasing the sealing and waterproof performance of the socket.

[0024] Push blocks 12 are installed on the surface of the cover plate 4. There are two sets of push blocks 12, which are located at the upper and lower ends respectively. By providing push blocks 12, the cover plate 4 can be easily pulled upward, making the socket panel 1 more convenient to use.

[0025] The connecting block 3 and the cover plate 4 are connected by screws. The screw holes on the side of the cover plate 4 are provided in two sets and located at the upper and lower ends respectively. The connecting block 3 and the cover plate 4 are detachably connected. This setting makes it easy to replace the cover plate 4 and also changes the sliding direction of the cover plate 4, so as to make it easy to use according to different installation positions.
