Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular relates to a compact socket. [Background Technology]
[0002] There are various types of power conversion devices, the most common being power strips (also called extension cords) and adapters. Both have plugs and multiple socket holes. Power strips have plugs connected to power cords and have more socket holes. Adapters have plugs installed directly without external power cords. Adapters are generally square-shaped, and their contact area is only slightly larger than the area enclosed by a three-phase socket hole. Due to their small size and conventional socket hole distribution, they have a limited number of socket holes, generally only one two-phase socket hole and one three-phase socket hole, which can only convert one to two, making them still inconvenient to use.

[0030] Specific embodiments, such as Figure 1-4 The compact socket shown includes: a socket housing 1 with an internal mounting cavity 2, a three-phase socket 31 on the upper surface of the socket housing 1, and a first socket 32 and a second socket 33 arranged side by side on at least two sides of the socket housing 1; a three-phase socket sleeve 4 disposed in the mounting cavity 2 and corresponding to the three-phase socket 31; a three-phase plug 5, one end of which is electrically connected to the three-phase socket sleeve 4, and the other end of which extends out of the lower surface of the socket housing 1; a first conductive element 6, including a first conductive plate 61 and at least two first socket sleeves 62 disposed on the first conductive plate 61 and corresponding to the first socket 32; and a second conductive element 7 disposed vertically above the first conductive element 6, the second conductive element 7 including a second conductive plate 71 and at least two second socket sleeves 72 disposed on the second conductive plate 71 and corresponding to the second socket 33. The first conductive element 6 and the second conductive element 7 are arranged vertically, and the first conductive plate 61 and the second conductive plate 71 are fitted around the three-phase plug 5. Multiple first sockets 62 and second sockets 72 extend outward from the sides of the first conductive plate 61 and the second conductive plate 71 for plug-in electrical connection. The structure is compact, the overall size is small, saving space, and it has more than three sockets. Electrical connection can be achieved on all sides of the socket shell 1. It achieves multiple connections within a limited volume, making it more convenient to use. In use, the three-phase plug 5 supplies power to the three-phase sockets 4, the first conductive element 6 and the second conductive element 7. The three-phase sockets 4, the first conductive element 6 and the second conductive element 7 are used to extend the power provided by the three-phase plug 5 to external electrical equipment. When the pins of the external electrical equipment's plug are inserted into the corresponding three-phase socket, the first socket 32 and the second socket 33, the external electrical equipment is powered on.
[0031] Specifically, the three-phase plug 5 includes a first plug rod 51, a second plug rod 52, and a third plug rod 53 arranged in a triangular pattern. The first conductive plate 61 has a first clearance groove 611 for the first plug rod 51 and the second plug rod 52 to pass through, and the second conductive plate 71 has a second clearance groove 711 for the first plug rod 51 and the third plug rod 53 to pass through. This allows the first conductive plate 61 and the second conductive plate 71 to fit around the periphery of the three-phase plug 5, and multiple first sockets 62 and second sockets 72 extend outwards from the periphery of the first conductive plate 61 and the second conductive plate 71 for insertion and electrical connection. The structure is compact and space-saving.
[0032] In addition, the mounting cavity 2 is provided with a three-phase mounting compartment 81 for the three-phase socket 4 to be installed, and the three-phase mounting compartment 81 is connected to the three-phase socket 31. This facilitates the installation of the three-phase socket 4, aligns the three-phase socket 4 with the three-phase socket 31, and results in a compact structure.
[0033] Furthermore, the mounting cavity 2 is also provided with a first mounting compartment 82 for the first insert 62 to be inserted and installed. The first mounting compartment 82 is connected to the first socket 32. This facilitates the installation of the first insert 62, aligns the first insert 62 with the first socket 32, and results in a compact structure.
[0034] More specifically, the mounting cavity 2 is further provided with a second mounting compartment 83 for the second insert 72 to be fitted into, and the second mounting compartment 83 is connected to the second socket 33. This facilitates the installation of the second insert 72, aligns the second insert 72 with the second socket 33, and results in a compact structure.
[0035] Furthermore, the first socket 32 and the second socket 33 are arranged side by side on the four sides of the socket housing 1. There are four first socket sleeves 62, each corresponding to one of the four first sockets 32. There are also four second socket sleeves 72, each corresponding to one of the four second sockets 33. This allows for multiple sockets within a limited volume, making it more convenient to use.
[0036] Furthermore, the first conductive plate 61 and the first socket 62 are integrally bent and formed, and the second conductive plate 71 and the second socket 72 are integrally bent and formed. This reduces costs.
[0037] Specifically, the first socket 62 includes a first connecting portion 621, two first conductive portions 622 disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the first connecting portion 621, and a first conductive edge 623 disposed on the side of the first conductive portion 622 near the first socket 32, wherein the two first conductive edges 623 are inclined outward to facilitate connection with the plug.
[0038] More specifically, the second socket 72 includes a second connecting portion 721, two second conductive portions 722 disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the second connecting portion 721, and a second conductive edge 723 disposed on the side of the second conductive portion 722 near the second socket 33, the two second conductive edges 723 being inclined outwards for easy connection with the plug.
[0039] In addition, the socket housing 1 includes a housing 11 and a base plate 12. The housing 11 has a mounting ring groove 111 on its edge, and the base plate 12 has a mounting ring protrusion 121 that fits into the mounting ring groove 111. This makes assembly more convenient, and the mounting ring groove 111 and the mounting ring protrusion 121 work together to provide waterproofing.
