Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a wall socket, specifically a wall socket with an indicator function. Background Technology

[0002] A socket, also known as a power outlet or switch socket, is a receptacle that has one or more electrical connections that can be plugged in. It allows for the insertion of various wires, facilitating connection to other circuits. The connection and disconnection of the circuit is achieved through the interaction between the wires and the copper fittings. With the increasing number of electrical appliances, the use of sockets is becoming more and more frequent.

[0003] A "wall switch" refers to an electrical switch installed on a wall to connect and disconnect circuits. Existing wall switches typically include a junction box, a base, and a socket module. The base is installed inside the wall, and the socket module is fixed to the base. A panel is often added for a more aesthetically pleasing and seamless product replacement. Current sockets usually do not indicate whether they are live; it is generally assumed that the circuit is connected when a plug is inserted. However, some household appliances use switches to indicate whether the circuit at the socket is live. These types of switches and sockets reduce the need for plugging and unplugging, preventing damage to appliances and extending product lifespan. However, when a plug is constantly inserted, users often forget whether the switch is on or off. In fact, for convenience, users usually just press the switch to select the desired state, which is equivalent to a quick on / off switch for the appliance, thus affecting the product's lifespan. Furthermore, when these sockets malfunction, it is impossible to determine whether the circuit is interrupted due to socket damage, failing to provide a reliable indicator function.
