Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, specifically to a waterproof and dustproof socket. Background Technology

[0002] A power socket is a socket with one or more circuit wires that can be inserted. Various wires can be inserted through it, which facilitates connection with other circuits. The connection and disconnection of the circuit is achieved by connecting and disconnecting the wires and copper parts.

[0003] In some applications (such as bathrooms and kitchens) and other humid environments, power sockets need to have a certain degree of waterproofing. In existing technologies, waterproof sockets generally achieve waterproofing by using a waterproof cover or a waterproof sealing silicone strip at the socket. Waterproofing methods using sealing silicone strips are often structurally complex and costly to manufacture. While waterproof covers are simpler, achieving waterproofing through flipping them open is sometimes problematic. Sometimes the cover is not flipped back into place, or it doesn't fit properly when closed, resulting in some inherent defects in power sockets with waterproof covers. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a waterproof and dustproof socket to solve the problem that the existing power sockets with waterproof cover structures still have certain defects.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] This application provides a waterproof and dustproof socket, including a power socket body and a waterproof cover. The power socket body is provided with a power socket hole. The waterproof cover is hinged to one side of the power socket by a torsion spring. The waterproof cover is used to cover and protect the power socket hole.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting base is provided on one side of the power socket, and a mounting groove is provided on the mounting base. Mounting holes are provided on the opposite side walls of the mounting groove. The bottom end of the waterproof cover is rotatably installed in the mounting hole through a connecting shaft, and the torsion spring is installed on the connecting shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom end of the waterproof cover plate is formed with a mounting portion, the mounting portion including a longitudinal through hole for mounting the connecting shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer surface of the through hole is formed with a horizontal notch extending longitudinally from one end of the through hole to the opposite end for a certain distance, and a radial notch extending radially from the horizontal notch for a certain distance. A snap-fit ​​is formed between the other end of the through hole opposite to the radial notch and the bottom of the waterproof cover plate. One end of the torsion spring passes through the horizontal notch and slides into the radial notch, and the other end of the torsion spring is installed in the snap-fit.

[0010] Furthermore, an outwardly extending locking block is formed at the inner edge of the bottom end of the waterproof cover opposite to its hinge, and a protrusion is formed on the outer side of the power socket body to engage with the locking block.

[0011] Furthermore, a recessed portion for easy gripping is formed on the outer side of the power socket body below the protrusion.

[0012] Furthermore, there are multiple power sockets, which are arranged at intervals along the length of the power socket body, and each power socket is equipped with a waterproof cover plate that matches it.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] By adopting the above-mentioned waterproof and dustproof socket structure, the bottom end of the waterproof cover is hinged to one side of the power socket via a torsion spring. In this way, after the waterproof cover is flipped open, it can automatically flip back to its original position, and the waterproof cover can fit tightly against the power socket, thus waterproofing and dustproofing the power socket holes.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] See appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3As shown, this embodiment provides a waterproof and dustproof socket 10, including a power socket body 100 and a waterproof cover 200. Multiple power sockets 102 can be formed on the power socket. The number of power sockets 102 can be flexibly set according to the length of the power socket body 100, and the multiple power sockets 102 can be evenly spaced on the power socket body 100. (Refer to the attached diagram.) Figure 4 To be continued Figure 6 As shown, the type of power socket 102 can be any type of power socket commonly used on the market.

[0033] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 Appendix Figure 7 and appendix Figure 12 As shown, the bottom end of one side of the waterproof cover 200 is hinged to one side of the power socket body 100, and a torsion spring 500 is also installed between the waterproof cover 200 and the power socket body 100. When the waterproof cover 200 is flipped open, the torsion spring 500 is compressed and deformed, and the torsion spring 500 applies a flipping and restoring force to the waterproof cover 200. Therefore, after the user finishes using the power socket, the waterproof cover 200 can automatically flip and return to its original position. In addition, the presence of the torsion spring 500 can also make the waterproof cover 200 and the power socket body 100 fit more tightly, resulting in a better waterproof and dustproof effect.

[0034] See attached document Figure 8 Appendix Figure 9 Appendix Figure 13 and appendix Figure 14 As shown, in this embodiment, the hinged installation structure between the waterproof cover 200 and the power socket body 100 is as follows: a mounting base 103 is formed on one side of the power socket body 100 corresponding to the installation position of the waterproof cover 200. That is, if there are multiple waterproof covers 200, then the same number of mounting bases 103 are formed on one side of the power socket body 100. A mounting groove 104 is formed on the mounting base 103. The middle part of the mounting groove 104 is an opening structure that runs vertically through the middle, and mounting holes are formed on the opposite side walls of the mounting groove 104.

[0035] A mounting portion 201 is formed on one bottom side of the waterproof cover 200. The cross-section of the mounting portion 201 can be circular or semi-circular. A through hole 204 is formed on the mounting portion 201, penetrating its opposite ends. A connecting shaft 600 is installed in the through hole 204, and the opposite ends of the connecting shaft 600 are rotatably installed in the mounting hole. A torsion spring 500 is installed on the outer circumferential surface of the connecting shaft 600. In this way, the waterproof cover 200 can be flipped relative to the power socket body 100 and can automatically reset.

[0036] See attached document Figure 7 To be continued Figure 9 and appendix Figure 12 To be continued Figure 14 As shown, to facilitate the installation of the torsion spring 500, a horizontal notch 202 extending longitudinally from one end of the through hole 204 to the opposite end and a radial notch 203 extending radially from the horizontal notch 202 are formed on the outer wall of the mounting part 201. During installation, as the torsion spring 500 is fitted onto the outer surface of the connecting shaft 600, the torsion arm at one end of the torsion spring 500 can slide along the horizontal notch 202 to the other end. After the torsion spring 500 slides to the end of the horizontal notch 202, the torsion arm at this end slides downwards along the radial notch 203, causing the torsion arm at this end of the torsion spring 500 to be locked onto the mounting base 103 of the power socket body 100. Simultaneously, a latch 400 is formed between the other end of the radial notch 203 of the through hole 204 and the bottom of the waterproof cover 200, and the other end of the torsion arm of the torsion spring 500 is locked within the latch 400.

[0037] See attached document Figure 3 Appendix Figure 10 and appendix Figure 11 As shown, a locking block 302 extending outward is formed at the inner edge of the bottom end of the waterproof cover 200 opposite to its hinge. A protrusion 301 is formed on the outer side of the power socket body 100, which engages with the locking block 302. In this way, when the waterproof cover 200 is in the closed state (i.e., the waterproof cover 200 is not flipped open and is attached to the power socket body 100), the waterproof cover 200 can cover the power socket body 100 by locking the locking block 302 on the protrusion 301, thus preventing dust and liquid from the outer wall from entering the power socket hole 102 on the power socket body 100.

[0038] See attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the operator to flip and open the waterproof cover 200, a recessed portion 101 is formed on the outer side of the power socket body 100 below the protrusion 301 for easy gripping. The recessed portion 101 is a structure design with an inwardly recessed shape on the outer side of the power socket body 100. When the operator holds the waterproof cover 200 to flip and open it, the operator's fingers can be inserted into the recessed portion 101, providing an easy gripping and flipping operation space, making it convenient for the operator to flip and open the waterproof cover 200.
