[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A ten-hole socket includes a front panel, a pressure plate, and a back seat from front to back. The pressure plate is fastened between the front panel and the back seat. On the side of the pressure plate facing the front panel, there are symmetrical sets of five-hole sockets on each side. A wiring assembly is installed on the side of the pressure plate facing away from the front panel. The orthographic projection of the wiring assembly on the pressure plate is symmetrical about the vertical central axis of the pressure plate.

The ground wire terminal is located below the live wire terminal and the neutral wire terminal, near the back of the pressure plate. The E-terminal wiring assembly is located on the side of the N-terminal wiring assembly and the L-terminal wiring assembly close to the pressure plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the N-terminal wiring assembly, L-terminal wiring assembly, and E-terminal wiring assembly are each an independent, integrated metal component.

[0007] Furthermore, the five-hole socket group includes a set of two-hole sockets and a set of three-hole sockets. The two-hole sockets include a first neutral wire hole and a first live wire hole, and the three-hole sockets include a second neutral wire hole, a second live wire hole, and a ground wire hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the N-terminal wiring assembly and the L-terminal wiring assembly are arranged in the same U-shape, while the E-terminal wiring assembly is arranged in a horizontal bow shape.

[0009] Furthermore, the L-end wiring assembly includes a first connecting part, a second connecting part, and a third connecting part.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 6 The ten-hole socket includes a front panel 1, a pressure plate 2, and a back seat 3 from front to back. The pressure plate 2 is fastened between the front panel 1 and the back seat 3. On the side of the pressure plate 2 facing the front panel 1, there is a set of symmetrical five-hole sockets on each side. On the side of the pressure plate 2 facing away from the front panel 1, a wiring assembly is installed. The orthographic projection of the wiring assembly on the pressure plate 2 is symmetrical about the vertical central axis of the pressure plate 2. The wiring assembly includes an N-terminal wiring assembly 41, an L-terminal wiring assembly 42, and an E-terminal wiring assembly 43. The N-terminal wiring assembly 41 is connected to the neutral wire terminal 411, the L-terminal wiring assembly 42 is connected to the live wire terminal 421, and the E-terminal wiring assembly 43 is connected to the ground wire terminal 431. The live wire terminal 421 and the neutral wire terminal 411 are at the same height in the middle of the back of the pressure plate 2. The ground wire terminal 431 is located below the live wire terminal 421 and the neutral wire terminal 411, close to the back of the pressure plate 2. The E-terminal wiring assembly 43 is located on the side of the N-terminal wiring assembly 41 and the L-terminal wiring assembly 42 near the pressure plate 2.

[0028] In this socket, the ground terminal 431 is positioned below the neutral terminal 411 and the live terminal 421, near the pressure plate 2. The projection of the wiring assembly onto the pressure plate 2 is symmetrical about the vertical central axis of the pressure plate 2, forming a symmetrical design within the socket. This helps maintain the internal balance and stability of the socket, facilitates assembly, improves wiring efficiency, and reduces manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the E-terminal wiring assembly 43 is positioned near the pressure plate 2 on the side where the N-terminal wiring assembly 41 and the L-terminal wiring assembly 42 are located, ensuring a secure assembly that prevents loosening and enhances the socket's grounding protection. In the event of leakage or short circuit, the E-terminal wiring assembly 43 can quickly conduct current to the ground wire, protecting the user from electric shock. This layout also reduces the crossing and interference between conductive lines within the socket, lowering the risk of short circuits and malfunctions caused by line crossings, and improving the socket's reliability and stability.

[0029] The N-terminal wiring assembly 41, L-terminal wiring assembly 42, and E-terminal wiring assembly 43 are all independent, integrated metal parts.

[0030] The five-hole socket set includes a set of two-hole sockets and a set of three-hole sockets. The two-hole sockets include a first neutral wire hole 21 and a first live wire hole 22, and the three-hole sockets include a second neutral wire hole 23, a second live wire hole 24 and a ground wire hole 25.

[0031] The N-end wiring assembly 41 and the L-end wiring assembly 42 are arranged in the same U-shaped structure. The L-end wiring assembly 42 includes a first connecting part 51, a second connecting part 52 and a third connecting part 53. The third connecting part 53 connects the first connecting part 51 and the second connecting part 52. The first connecting part 51 and the second connecting part 52 are provided with neutral wire sleeves 44 at the first neutral wire hole 21 of the double-prong plug and the second neutral wire hole 23 of the triple-prong plug. The N-end wiring assembly 41 includes a fourth connecting part 54, a fifth connecting part 55 and a sixth connecting part 56. The sixth connecting part 56 connects the fourth connecting part 54 and the fifth connecting part 55. The fourth connecting part 54 and the fifth connecting part 55 are provided with live wire sleeves 45 at the first live wire hole 22 of the double-prong plug and the second live wire hole 24 of the triple-prong plug. After the wiring assemblies are installed, the first connecting part 51 is opposite to the fourth connecting part 54, the second connecting part 52 is opposite to the fifth connecting part 55, and the third connecting part 53 is parallel to the sixth connecting part 56. With this design and layout, the N-terminal wiring assembly 41 and the L-terminal wiring assembly 42 are regular and do not cross each other, allowing the current to flow stably and reliably. Furthermore, the structure of mounting the N-terminal wiring assembly 41 and the L-terminal wiring assembly 42 on the pressure plate is simplified, and they can be quickly positioned during assembly.

[0032] The E-end wiring assembly 43 has a horizontal bow-shaped structure, including a first bend 57, a second bend 58, and a third bend 59. The second bend 58 connects the first bend 57 and the third bend 59. The first bend 57 is located outside the second connecting part 52, and the third bend 59 is located outside the fifth connecting part 55. The ends of the first bend 57 and the third bend 59 away from the second bend 58 are respectively provided with ground wire sockets 46 at the ground wire hole 25. That is, the E-end wiring assembly 43 with the horizontal bow structure is set on the side of the N-end wiring assembly 41 and the L-end wiring assembly 42 close to the pressure plate 2. The first and third bends 57 and 59 increase the distance between the E-end wiring assembly 43 and the N-end wiring assembly 41 and the L-end wiring assembly 42. On the one hand, this helps to reduce electrical interference between the wiring assemblies, ensure that the current flows stably in their respective paths, reduce the risk of failure caused by electrical interference, and prevent short circuits or leakage caused by the wiring assemblies being too close together, thereby improving the overall electrical safety performance of the socket. On the other hand, it helps to dissipate the heat generated by the wiring assembly to the surrounding environment more quickly, improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the socket, extend its service life, and at the same time, provide more operating space for installation and maintenance personnel and simplify the installation process.

[0033] The second connecting part 52, the fifth connecting part 53, and the second bending part 58 all extend toward the rear seat 3 and are connected to corresponding terminals.

[0034] The design of the wiring components described above reduces material waste and assembly difficulty caused by bending. The regular wiring component design simplifies the installation position structure design of the pressure plate, reduces the manufacturing cost of the pressure plate, and ensures the strength and stability of the pressure plate. This facilitates production and maintenance. The simplified pressure plate structure allows for easier positioning and disassembly of the wiring components during socket production and maintenance, improving assembly efficiency and quality, and reducing socket production costs.

[0035] Furthermore, the E-end wiring assembly, L-end wiring assembly, and N-end wiring assemblies 41, 42, and 43 are all provided with raised reinforcing ribs 7. The reinforcing ribs 7 help the wiring assemblies maintain their original shape and structure, prevent deformation caused by external forces or long-term use, and also increase the contact area between the wiring assemblies and the air, which is beneficial for heat dissipation.

[0036] The back of the pressure plate 2 is also equipped with mounting brackets 6, including live wire terminal brackets, ground wire terminal brackets, and neutral wire terminal brackets. After installation, the position of the mounting brackets 6 corresponds to the position of the terminals. To facilitate the connection between the terminals and external wires, the rear plate can be provided with three terminal connection holes, each corresponding to one of the three mounting brackets 6. The wire passes through the connection hole into the corresponding mounting bracket 6 and is crimped to the corresponding terminal, thus making it easier to connect, replace, or repair the wires inside the socket without excessive disassembly and reassembly. This not only improves work efficiency but also reduces maintenance costs.

[0037] To further enhance the safety of socket use, a corresponding two-hole safety door is installed on the back of the two-hole socket, and a corresponding three-hole safety door is installed on the back of the three-hole socket. The safety door is spring-loaded and abuts against a pressure plate. The safety door has an assembly structure that matches the shape of the corresponding socket sleeve for each socket. Thus, when a plug is inserted into a two-hole or three-hole socket, the spring compresses, the plug inserts into the safety door, and then into the corresponding socket. When the plug is pulled out of the socket, the spring returns to its original position, and the corresponding safety door closes to prevent accidental electric shock.

[0038] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
