Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of safety door technology, specifically relating to a safety door structure for a socket. Background Technology
[0002] Safety shutters for sockets are common accessories in modern electrical equipment. Their design must not only meet safety and convenience requirements but also prevent accidental electric shocks. The primary purpose of safety shutters is to prevent the insertion of foreign objects, especially since children, with their strong curiosity, are prone to inserting objects into socket holes, potentially causing electric shock accidents. Therefore, safety shutters (specifically sliding elements in this application, which will not be elaborated further below) effectively improve the safety and reliability of sockets, avoid potential dangers, and ensure that the socket remains closed when not in use, extending its lifespan. This structure has become a standard feature in socket safety shutter designs, complying with relevant national electrical safety regulations.
[0003] While existing safety door structures in electrical outlets offer some level of safety, they still have several shortcomings. Most current designs use a protrusion on the underside of the slider that matches a bottom groove to prevent the safety door from easily sliding when the slider is subjected to unilateral force. However, this structure reveals technical deficiencies in practical use: under certain force or impact, the safety door may open accidentally, rendering its protective function ineffective. This not only reduces safety but also increases the risk of damage to electronic devices or injury to children.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to improve the existing safety door structure for sockets to solve the above-mentioned technical defects. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a safety door structure for sockets with better protection, in order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology.
[0006] To achieve the above technical objectives, this application implements the following technical solution:
[0007] A safety door structure for a socket includes a base and a sliding member disposed on the base;
[0008] The base is provided with a first section and a second section for inserting a three-prong plug, and a bracket extending in the thickness direction of the base.
[0009] The sliding component has a cavity for receiving the bracket, and one side of the cavity is connected to one side of the bracket by an elastic element;
[0010] The first and second zones are surrounded by a frame, and the first and / or second zones are provided with a first latching protrusion that is fixedly connected to the frame and a second latching protrusion that extends along the thickness direction of the base.
[0011] The sliding member is located in the first zone or the first and second zones. When the sliding member is rotated under force on one side, the sliding member abuts against the first or second locking protrusion.
[0012] The above technical solution produces the following technical effects:
[0013] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application proposes a safety door structure for sockets, achieving more efficient and safer protection through improved design. First, the base of the safety door structure is divided into a first zone and a second zone. The first zone receives both the live and neutral wires of a three-prong plug and is surrounded by a frame. This frame, together with the first and second locking protrusions on the base, forms a more robust protective structure. Second, the sliding element is designed to firmly connect with the first and second locking protrusions in the first and / or second zones when subjected to unilateral force, ensuring that the safety door will not open accidentally under unilateral force. Finally, the application of an elastic element allows the sliding element to flexibly respond to changes in external force, further enhancing the stability and safety of the structure. Through these designs, this technical solution effectively solves the technical defects in existing safety door designs, significantly improving the safety performance and applicability of the safety door structure for sockets.
[0014] As a further improvement to the safety door structure for a socket of this application, the first zone is provided with a first socket for inserting a neutral wire plug and a second socket for inserting a live wire plug.
[0015] The second zone is equipped with a grounding socket for inserting a grounding plug, or simultaneously equipped with a grounding socket for inserting a grounding plug, a third socket for inserting a neutral plug, and a fourth socket for inserting a live plug.
[0016] As a further improvement of the safety door structure for a socket in this application, the sliding member is provided with a first slot corresponding to the first insertion position and a ground slot corresponding to the ground insertion position. The first slot is used for inserting a neutral wire plug and the ground slot is used for inserting a ground wire plug.
[0017] The sliding member is provided with a second slot corresponding to the third plug and a third slot corresponding to the fourth plug; the second slot is used for inserting the neutral wire plug and the third slot is used for inserting the live wire plug.

The connecting part is used to connect with one side of the cavity through an elastic member, and the extension part and the other side of the cavity are provided with a fourth slot for inserting a three-pole plug's live wire plug.
[0020] As a further improvement to the safety door structure for a socket of this application, the cavity is provided with a fixing part connected to one side of the elastic member, and the other side of the elastic member is connected to the connecting part; based on this, the sliding member will not fall off during the assembly process of the safety door structure for a socket of this application, and the bracket will also prevent the sliding member from falling off the base during the assembly process.

[0072] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0073] Implementation Method 1
[0074] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, in order to reduce the technical risks of the safety door (slider 2) on the existing three-pole socket when subjected to a certain external force, this application improves the structure of the existing three-pole socket. Specifically, the safety door structure for the socket of this application includes a base 1 and a slider 2 disposed on the base 1; wherein, the base 1 is provided with a first area 12 and a second area 13 for inserting a three-pole plug 11 and a bracket 14 extending in the thickness direction of the base 1; and the slider 2 is provided with a cavity 21 for receiving the bracket 14, one side of the cavity 21 being connected to one side of the bracket 14 by an elastic member 3;
[0075] Furthermore, a frame 121 is provided around the first area 12 and the second area 13. The first area 12 and / or the second area 13 are provided with a first latching protrusion 1211 fixedly connected to the frame 121 and a second latching protrusion 1212 extending along the thickness direction of the base 1. The sliding member 2 is provided in the first area 12 or the first area 12 and the second area 13. When the sliding member 2 is rotated by force on one side, the sliding member 2 abuts against the first latching protrusion 1211 or the second latching protrusion 1212.
[0076] It is worth noting that the border 121 surrounding the first region 12 and the second region 13 in the above-mentioned technical solution of this application includes a structural design in which a separator is provided between the first region 12 and the second region 13, and a structural design in which a border 121 is provided around the area formed by the first region 12 and the second region 13. For example... Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, when a frame 121 is provided around the first area 12, the first area 12 and the second area 13 are separated by a separator. A first latching protrusion 1211 is fixedly connected to the frame 121 of the first area 12 along the thickness direction of the base 1 (specifically as shown in the figure). Figure 1 The second locking protrusion 1212 extends along the X-axis direction (as shown). At this time, the slider 2 is only provided in the first area 12, so when the slider 2 is rotated under force on one side, the slider 2 abuts against the first locking protrusion 12111 or the second locking protrusion 1212, thereby protecting the slider 2 of the three-hole socket from accidental opening.
[0077] like Figure 3 - Figure 4 As shown, when a border 121 is provided around the first area 12 and the second area 13, the first area 12 and the second area 13 can be regarded as a whole area. At this time, the slider 2 can be set in this whole area, that is, simultaneously covering the first area 12 and the second area 13. When the slider 2 is rotated under force on one side, the slider 2 can also abut against the first latching protrusion 1211 or the second latching protrusion 1212, thereby maintaining the stability and safety of the structure.
[0078] Implementation Method 2
[0079] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, in order to reduce the possibility of the sliding member 2 accidentally opening during the insertion of the three-pole plug into the socket shown in this application, protection is also provided for the insertion process of the two-pole plug. Specifically, the first zone 12 of the socket safety door structure of this application is provided with a first socket 111 for inserting the neutral wire plug and a second socket 112 for inserting the live wire plug; wherein, the three-pole plug is different from the two-pole plug. Generally, in the national standard three-pole plug, the neutral wire plug and the live wire plug are inclined at 120°, while in the national standard two-pole plug, the neutral wire plug and the live wire plug are vertical and parallel.
[0080] Specifically, when the second zone 13 is only provided with a grounding socket 113 for inserting a grounding plug, the second zone 13 is used to receive the grounding plug of the three-pole plug. At the same time, the sliding member 2 only covers the first zone 12. When a three-pole plug needs to be inserted, the live wire plug and the neutral wire plug of the three-pole plug are respectively inserted into the first socket 111 and the second socket 112 of the first zone 12, and the grounding plug is inserted into the grounding socket 113 of the second zone 13. When the live wire plug or neutral wire plug is inserted on one side, the sliding member 2 rotates under force on one side and abuts against the first latching protrusion 1211 or the second latching protrusion 1212 to prevent the sliding member 2 from opening accidentally. When the second area 13 is provided with a grounding plug 113 for grounding plug insertion, a third plug 114 for neutral plug insertion, and a fourth plug 115 for live wire plug insertion, the overall area formed by the first area 12 and the second area 13 is used to receive the live wire plug, neutral wire plug and ground wire plug of the three-pole plug and the live wire plug and neutral wire plug of the two-pole plug. The sliding member 2 covers the first area 12 and the second area 13.
[0081] Furthermore, the sliding member 2 is provided with a first slot 22 corresponding to the first insertion position 111 and a ground slot 27 corresponding to the ground insertion position 113. The first slot 22 is used for inserting the neutral wire plug and the ground slot 27 is used for inserting the ground wire plug; and / or the sliding member 2 is provided with a second slot 23 corresponding to the third insertion position 114 and a third slot 24 corresponding to the fourth insertion position 115; the second slot 23 is used for inserting the neutral wire plug and the third slot 24 is used for inserting the live wire plug.
[0082] Furthermore, the bracket 14 is provided with a connecting part 141 and an extension part 142. The connecting part 141 is used to connect with one side of the cavity 21 through an elastic member 3 to ensure that the sliding member 2 is not easily detached from the base 1 during assembly. The extension part 142 and the other side of the cavity 21 are surrounded by a fourth slot 25 for inserting a three-prong plug into the hot wire plug. In order to improve the convenience of inserting the three-prong plug into the fourth slot 25, the fourth slot 25 is provided with a second pushing part 251; the first slot 22 is provided with a first pushing part 221. When the first pushing part 221 and the second pushing part 251 are simultaneously subjected to the force of the plug, the sliding member 2 will slide horizontally. When either the first pushing part 221 or the second pushing part 251 is subjected to force on one side, the sliding member 2 abuts against the first locking protrusion 1211 or the second locking protrusion 1212 to prevent the sliding member 2 from accidentally opening.
[0083] Furthermore, the cavity 21 is provided with a fixing part 211 connected to one side of the elastic member 3, and the other side of the elastic member 3 is connected to the connecting part 141; the elastic member 3 is a spring member, which can ensure that the sliding member 2 is not easily detached from the base 1 during assembly.
[0084] Other aspects that are the same as in Implementation Method 1 will not be described again in this implementation method.
[0085] Implementation Method 3
[0086] like Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, to prevent the slider 2 from accidentally opening when subjected to force on one side, specifically, in the safety door structure for the socket of this application, along the length direction of the slider 22, the slider 2 is provided with a body 26 and a first abutting portion 261 and a second abutting portion 262 extending on both sides of the body 26. When the first abutting portion 261 is subjected to force on one side, the first abutting portion 261 abuts against the side of the first latching protrusion 1211 away from the frame 121, thereby limiting the slider 2; when the second abutting portion 262 is subjected to force on one side, the second abutting portion 262 abuts against the second latching protrusion 1212, further improving the safety of the socket.
[0087] Furthermore, the implementation principle of the above technical solution is as follows: when the sliding member 2 is subjected to a unilateral external force, the first abutting part 261 or the second abutting part 262 will abut against the first latching protrusion 1211 or the second latching protrusion 1212 on that side. This design effectively prevents the sliding member 2 from accidentally opening when subjected to a unilateral force, ensuring the safety and stability of the socket safety door structure.
[0088] Furthermore, to optimize the contact effect between the slider 2 and the latching protrusion, this application also makes the following design: the thickness of the first contact portion 261 decreases as the distance from the body 26 increases; similarly, the thickness of the second contact portion 262 decreases as the distance from the body 26 increases. This design allows the first contact portion 261 or the second contact portion 262 to contact the first latching protrusion 1211 or the second latching protrusion 1212 more smoothly when the slider 2 slides under unilateral force.
[0089] Furthermore, in order to improve the connection stability between the sliding member 2 and the base 11 when the force is applied on one side, the second abutment 262 is provided with at least one fixing groove, which is used to make the second abutment 262 engage with the second latching protrusion 1212 on the base 11 when the force is applied on one side.
[0090] Furthermore, a protrusion 263 is provided at the contact point between the slider 2 and the frame 121. Through the design of the protrusion 263, the friction between the slider 2 and the base 1 is reduced during the horizontal movement of the slider 2 under the pushing force of the three-prong plug and after it is pulled out, making it smoother.
[0091] Other aspects that are the same as in Implementation Method 1 will not be described again in this implementation method.
[0092] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
