Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floor plug protection technology, specifically to a concealed pressure-resistant floor plug protection device and floor plug assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Related technologies offer decorative covers for floor outlets, which are typically decorative shells installed around the outlet or decorative covers on the outlet itself. These enhance the outlet's appearance, facilitate installation and disassembly, and provide certain waterproof, fireproof, dustproof, and electric shock protection functions. However, commercially available decorative covers for floor outlets have poor pressure resistance and load-bearing capacity. In industrial environments, when subjected to external forces such as heavy vehicles entering or leaving the outlet or the placement of heavy objects, the decorative covers can deform and damage the outlet. Consequently, the outlet may also break, become deformed and unable to open or reset, easily leading to problems such as leakage, short circuits, and electric shock accidents. Frequent replacement of outlets is also costly.

[0003] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0040] Example 1

[0041] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, Embodiment 1 of this disclosure provides a concealed pressure-resistant floor socket protection device, including: a main shell 1, multiple support members 2, and a load-bearing cover plate 3. The main shell 1 includes a base plate 11 and an outer baffle 12. The base plate 11 is provided with a clearance opening 111 for avoiding the socket hole of the floor socket. The outer baffle 12 is connected to the base plate 11 and extends along the peripheral edge of the base plate 11, forming an upper opening. The base plate 11 and the outer baffle 12 can be integrally formed, resulting in high structural strength. Each support member 2 is disposed on the base plate 11, and the support members 2 are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the clearance opening 111. Each support member 2 extends towards the upper opening. The load-bearing cover plate 3 is detachably installed on the main shell 1. When the load-bearing cover plate 3 is installed on the main shell 1, the load-bearing cover plate 3 closes the upper opening and is supported on each support member 2. The load-bearing cover 3 is detachably mounted on the main housing 1 for easy opening. The socket of the floor socket is exposed in the clearance opening 111 for easy power connection. The concealed pressure-resistant floor socket protection device of this application has a load-bearing cover supported by multiple support members, which has the advantages of strong pressure resistance and high load-bearing capacity, thus protecting the floor socket. In industrial environments, when exposed to external forces such as the entry and exit of heavy vehicles or the placement of heavy objects, it will not cause problems such as breakage of the floor socket, deformation of the load-bearing cover that prevents it from opening and resetting, or leakage and short circuit of the floor socket. It has high safety and good practicality.

[0042] The load-bearing cover plate 3 can be made of steel plate with a thickness of not less than 8mm. The steel plate can be made of Q345b high-strength structural steel. Q345b high-strength structural steel is a type of carbon alloy steel (C<0.2%), characterized by good comprehensive performance, good low-temperature performance, good cold stamping performance, good weldability, and good machinability. It is widely used in bridges, vehicles, ships, buildings, pressure vessels, and other fields. The use of Q345b high-strength structural steel in the steel plate can meet the requirements of large-tonnage vehicle access and heavy object placement without damage from external forces, and can achieve high load-bearing capacity.

[0043] The concealed pressure-resistant floor socket protection device of this application can be used in conjunction with a magnetic pull ring (not shown). The magnetic pull ring may include a magnetic component (not shown) and a pull ring (not shown). The pull ring is connected to the magnetic component, and the magnetic component can be magnetically attracted to the load-bearing cover plate 3. With the load-bearing cover plate 3 installed on the main housing 1, by bringing the magnetic pull ring close to the load-bearing cover plate 3, the magnetic component is magnetically attracted to the load-bearing cover plate 3. The operator can apply an upward force to the pull ring by hand or with the help of a tool, which can pull the load-bearing cover plate 3 away from the main housing 1 to open the opening, exposing the socket of the floor socket for easy wiring.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the support member 2 can extend and retract in a direction perpendicular to the base plate 11 to level the load-bearing cover plate 3. If the load-bearing cover plate 3 is not installed level, it will hinder the passage of heavy vehicles and make it susceptible to deformation and damage from vehicle pressure. The support member 2 can move up and down in a direction perpendicular to the base plate 11, allowing its height to be adjusted so that the load-bearing cover plate 3 is flush with the ground. Because the support member 2 is adjustable, it provides great convenience to the user, as it can be adjusted at any time during subsequent maintenance.

[0045] The support member 2 may include a stud 21 and a first nut 22. The stud 21 is vertically connected to the base plate 11, and the first nut 22 is threadedly connected to the stud 21. Under external force, the first nut 22 can rotate around the stud 21 and move along the stud 21. When the load-bearing cover plate 3 is installed on the main shell 1, the load-bearing cover plate 3 is supported on the first nuts 22 of each of the support members 2. The nuts protrude from the stud 21. When the load-bearing cover plate 3 is installed, rotating the first nut 22 can adjust the position of the first nut 22 in the direction perpendicular to the base plate 11, so as to facilitate leveling the load-bearing cover plate 3. Furthermore, after prolonged use, the first nut 22 may rotate and shift along the stud 21, causing the load-bearing cover 3 to become uneven. When a heavy vehicle passes over it, the cover may be damaged by the vehicle's pressure. In this case, we only need to remove the load-bearing cover 3 and rotate the corresponding first nut 22 to adjust it, ensuring the cover 3 is flatly supported on each first nut 22. Using the concealed pressure-resistant ground plug protection device of this application, the first nut 22 can be adjusted to a suitable height to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the stud 21 is detachably connected to the base plate 11. After prolonged use, the stud 21 may be damaged by stress; the detachable structure facilitates easy replacement with a new stud 21. When the length of the stud 21 is insufficient to adjust the load-bearing cover plate 3, the current stud 21 can be removed and replaced directly with a new stud 21 of the correct size.

[0047] A second nut 13 is fixedly installed on the base plate 11, and the stud 21 is threadedly connected to the second nut 13. The second nut 13 is located on the side of the first nut 22 away from the load-bearing cover plate 3, and the second nut 13 can be fixedly connected to the base plate 11 by welding. The stud 21 and the second nut are threadedly connected, and the stud 21 is easy to install and remove.

[0048] The main shell 1 includes an inner baffle 14, which is located inside the outer baffle 12 and connected to the bottom plate 11. The inner baffle 14 extends along the edge of the clearance opening 111 and has an annular closed structure. The support member 2 is located between the inner baffle 14 and the outer baffle 12. When the load-bearing cover plate 3 is installed on the main shell 1, it covers the inner baffle 14. The inner baffle 14 has a waterproof and dustproof function, and its height is lower than that of the outer baffle 12, so as not to affect the leveling of the load-bearing cover plate 3.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the base plate 11 is provided with a connection hole 1121 for connecting and fixing a floor socket. The connection hole 1121 is used to connect the floor socket, and a fastener can be used to connect to the floor socket through the connection hole 1121. The structure is detachable, which facilitates disassembly and assembly.

[0050] A plurality of connecting lugs 112 are provided on the base plate 11, each of which extends to the clearance opening 111. Each connecting lug 112 has a connecting hole 1121. The clearance opening 111 has four corners, each with a connecting lug 112 for easy assembly. The connecting lugs 112 can be integrally formed with the main shell 1, or they can be welded to the four corners of the clearance opening 111.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] This application also provides a floor socket assembly in embodiment two, including: a concealed pressure-resistant floor socket protection device as described in embodiment one above, and a floor socket (not shown). The floor socket is located on the side of the base plate 11 of the concealed pressure-resistant floor socket protection device away from the load-bearing cover plate 3, and the floor socket is fixed to the base plate 11. The socket hole of the floor socket can be exposed in the clearance opening 111. The floor socket includes a bottom shell (not shown), a socket body (not shown), and a socket cover (not shown). The bottom shell is disposed below the connecting lug 112. The socket body is disposed inside the bottom shell, and the socket hole on the socket body is exposed in the clearance opening 111. The bottom shell has the function of protecting the socket body. The socket cover is connected to the connecting lug 112 by fasteners. The socket cover includes a frame and a cover body. One end of the cover body is hinged to the frame. The frame can be provided with a connecting lug. The fastener can be a screw. The shank of the screw passes through the connecting lug on the frame and connects to the connecting hole 1121. The head of the screw is limited to the frame. The cover can open or close the clearance opening 111. When using the floor socket assembly of this application, the magnetic pull ring is used to magnetically attract the load-bearing cover plate 3 to open the opening, and then the cover is opened, exposing the socket hole of the floor socket to the clearance opening 111. The socket body can then be connected via a cable. After use, the cable plug is unplugged, the cover is closed, and finally the load-bearing cover plate 3 is placed over the opening. If the load-bearing cover plate 3 is tilted, the first nut 22 can be rotated to level the load-bearing cover plate 3, keeping it substantially flush with the ground.

[0053] The preferred embodiments disclosed above are merely illustrative of this application. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the application to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this application, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize this application. This application is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
