Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, and in particular to a socket. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial interface device connecting power sources and electrical appliances, sockets play an indispensable role in people's daily lives and work. They provide a stable power supply for various appliances, meeting diverse electricity needs. With the accelerating pace of life and the improvement of living standards, the requirements for sockets are also increasing. Miniaturization, portability, and high safety have become urgent market demands. Consumers expect sockets to maintain a stable power connection while minimizing their size for easy carrying and use, and to possess good protective performance to ensure safe use.

[0003] However, simply reducing the thickness of sockets presents a series of challenges. On the one hand, the internal wiring modules of the socket, which were originally arranged relatively reasonably within a larger space, become more cramped after the thickness is reduced, greatly increasing the difficulty of arranging the wiring modules. On the other hand, conventional protective designs struggle to achieve adequate protection within limited space, failing to meet people's demand for high-safety sockets. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a socket that aims to solve the technical problems of existing sockets where the internal power connection module layout is difficult due to the reduction in thickness, and conventional protection designs are difficult to achieve good protection in limited spaces.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a socket, comprising:

[0006] The housing has a receiving cavity with an open opening;

[0007] A movable cover is movably disposed within the receiving cavity, and the movable cover has a socket for inserting a plug;

[0008] A power connector is disposed within the receiving cavity, and the power connector is used for electrical connection with the plug;

[0009] A lifting member is movably disposed within the receiving cavity and has a first position and a second position. When the lifting member is in the first position, it at least partially blocks the electrical contact. When it is in the second position, the electrical contact is exposed relative to the socket. The lifting member is kinetically connected to the movable cover.

[0010] The lifting member is used to move from the first position to the second position by the push of the plug during the insertion of the plug, and to drive the movable cover to move relative to the housing in the opposite direction of the plug insertion direction so as to extend out of the housing through the cavity.

[0011] In some embodiments, the lifting member is rotatably disposed within the receiving cavity, and the lifting member includes a rotating section, a driving section located at one end of the rotating section, and a supporting section located at the other end of the rotating section;

[0012] The rotating section is located within the receiving cavity and is rotatably connected to the housing;

[0013] The drive section is at least partially located between the socket and the connector, and is used to move from the first position to the second position by the push of the plug during the insertion of the plug, and to drive the abutment section to rotate;

[0014] The abutting section is connected to the movable cover via a transmission, and is used to drive the movable cover to move relative to the housing in the opposite direction of the plug insertion direction during the rotation driven by the driving section.

[0015] In some embodiments, the length of the abutment segment is greater than the length of the drive segment.

[0016] In some embodiments, the rotating segment is rotatably connected to the housing via a rotating shaft, the axis of which is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the housing.

[0017] In some embodiments, the lifting member is slidably disposed within the receiving cavity, and the sliding direction of the lifting member is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the plug;

[0018] The lifting member has a first pushing part and a second pushing part, the first pushing part and the second pushing part are arranged opposite to each other in the sliding direction of the lifting member, the first pushing part is exposed at the socket, and is used to drive the lifting member to move from the first position to the second position under the abutment of the plug;

[0019] The movable cover is provided with a third pushing part adapted to the second pushing part, which is used to drive the movable cover to move relative to the housing in the opposite direction of the plug insertion direction under the resisting action of the second pushing part.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first pushing part is an inclined structure, and the inclined surface is inclined along the insertion direction of the plug.

[0021] In some embodiments, the second and third pushing parts are mutually adapted inclined structures, and the inclined surfaces are inclined along the insertion direction of the plug.

[0022] In some embodiments, the socket further includes a first reset member disposed between the housing and the lifting member, for providing a force to the lifting member to move it from the second position to the first position.

[0023] In some embodiments, the socket further includes a second reset member disposed between the movable cover and the housing, for providing a force to reset the movable cover.

[0024] In some embodiments, the movable cover is provided with two insertion holes;

[0025] The power connector is provided in two parts, namely a positive power connector and a negative power connector, and the positive power connector and the negative power connector are respectively located in one of the sockets;

[0026] There are two lifting members, each of which is located in one of the sockets.

[0027] The socket provided in this application features a movable lifting member within its housing cavity. When the plug is not inserted, the lifting member is in its first position, at which point it at least partially blocks the electrical components, providing protection. Unlike conventional protective designs, this lifting member does not require a large additional space to achieve its protective function. Within a limited space, it effectively prevents foreign objects and dust from contacting the electrical components, avoiding short circuits caused by foreign objects entering. This meets the high safety requirements of sockets and also improves the socket's insulation performance. When the plug is inserted, it pushes the lifting member from the first position to the second position, driving the movable cover to move relative to the housing in the opposite direction of the plug insertion, extending it out of the housing through the cavity opening. At this point, the electrical components are exposed relative to the socket, allowing the plug to make electrical connection with them and supply power to the appliance. Due to the linkage mechanism between the lifting member and the movable cover, the socket maintains a relatively small thickness when not in use, adjusting to the appropriate position only during plug insertion. This effectively solves the problem of simply reducing the socket thickness causing the plug to be unable to insert properly. It achieves coordinated operation of all components within a limited space, avoiding interference with the layout of the electrical components. Attached Figure Description

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of this application provides a socket 1000, including a housing 100, a movable cover 200, an electrical connector 300, and a lifting member 400. The housing 100 has a receiving cavity 110 with an open opening 111. The movable cover 200 is movably disposed within the receiving cavity 110 and has a socket 210 for inserting a plug 2000. The electrical connector 300 is disposed within the receiving cavity 110 and is used for electrical connection with the plug 2000. The lifting member 400 is movably disposed within the receiving cavity 110 and has a first position and a second position. When the lifting member 400 is in the first position, it at least partially covers the electrical connector 300. When it is in the second position, the electrical connector 300 is exposed relative to the socket 210. The lifting member 400 is drively connected to the movable cover 200.

[0043] The lifting member 400 is used to move from the first position to the second position by the plug 2000 during the insertion of the plug 2000, and drive the movable cover 200 to move relative to the housing 100 in the opposite direction of the insertion direction of the plug 2000, so as to extend out of the housing 100 through the cavity 111.

[0044] In this embodiment, the housing 100 can be made of a high-strength insulating material, such as flame-retardant PC plastic, to ensure electrical safety during use. It has an internal cavity 110 with an open opening 111, providing space for internal moving parts.

[0045] The movable cover 200 can move linearly within the receiving cavity 110, and its surface is precisely provided with a socket 210 for the insertion of the plug 2000. The movable cover 200 is also made of a material with good insulation properties.

[0046] The electrical connector 300 is installed inside the receiving cavity 110 and is made of high-quality conductive metal material, such as copper alloy, which has good conductivity and corrosion resistance.

[0047] When the user inserts the plug 2000 into the socket 1000, the insertion action of the plug 2000 first acts on the lifting member 400. As the plug 2000 is inserted deeper, the lifting member 400, pushed by the plug 2000, begins to move from the first position to the second position. During this process, the lifting member 400 drives the movable cover 200 to move relative to the housing 100 in the opposite direction to the insertion direction of the plug 2000, until the movable cover 200 finally protrudes from the opening 111 of the receiving cavity 110 outside the housing 100. At the same time, the lifting member 400 changes from a state of blocking the electrical contact 300 to a state where the electrical contact 300 is fully exposed relative to the socket 210. At this point, the plug 2000 can smoothly establish a reliable electrical connection with the electrical contact 300, achieving stable power transmission.

[0048] When the plug 2000 is not inserted, the lifting member 400 is in the first position. At this time, the lifting member 400 at least partially blocks the electrical contact 300, thus providing protection. Unlike conventional protective designs, the lifting member 400 of this application does not require a large additional space to achieve the protective function. It can effectively prevent foreign objects, dust, etc. from contacting the electrical contact 300 within a limited space, avoiding short circuits and other problems caused by foreign objects entering. This meets people's demand for high safety of the socket 1000 and also improves the insulation performance of the socket 1000.

[0049] When the plug 2000 is inserted, the plug 2000 pushes the lifting member 400 to move from the first position to the second position, and drives the movable cover 200 to move relative to the housing 100 in the opposite direction of the insertion direction of the plug 2000, so as to extend out of the housing 100 through the cavity 111. At this time, the connecting member 300 is exposed relative to the socket 210, and the plug 2000 can make an electrical connection with the connecting member 300, thereby supplying power to the electrical appliance.

[0050] Thanks to the linkage mechanism between the lifting component 400 and the movable cover 200, the socket 1000 can maintain a relatively small thickness when not in use, and will only be adjusted to the appropriate position when the plug 2000 is inserted. This effectively solves the problem that simply reducing the thickness of the socket 1000 would prevent the plug 2000 from being inserted properly. It achieves the coordinated work of various components within a limited space and avoids affecting the layout of the power connection component 300.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment of this application, the lifting member 400 is rotatably disposed in the receiving cavity 110. The lifting member 400 includes a rotating section 410, a driving section 420 located at one end of the rotating section 410, and a supporting section 430 located at the other end of the rotating section 410.

[0052] The rotating section 410 is located within the receiving cavity 110 and is rotatably connected to the housing 100;

[0053] The drive section 420 is at least partially located between the socket 210 and the connector 300, and is used to move from the first position to the second position by the push of the plug 2000 during the insertion of the plug 2000, and to drive the abutment section 430 to rotate.

[0054] The abutting section 430 is connected to the movable cover 200 in a transmission manner, and is used to drive the movable cover 200 to move relative to the housing 100 in the opposite direction to the insertion direction of the plug 2000 during the rotation driven by the driving section 420.

[0055] The lifting member 400 comprises a rotating section 410, a driving section 420, and a supporting section 430. The rotating section 410 is located within the receiving cavity 110 and is rotatably connected to the housing 100 via a rotating shaft 411, providing basic support and a rotating shaft for the rotation of the lifting member 400, allowing it to rotate around the connection point between the rotating section 410 and the housing 100. The driving section 420 is at least partially located between the socket 210 and the electrical connector 300, facilitating its function when the plug 2000 is inserted. The supporting section 430 is drive-connected to the movable cover 200, ensuring that the supporting section 430 can drive the movable cover 200 to move.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, when the plug 2000 is not inserted, the lifting member 400 is in the first position. At this time, the driving section 420 is at least partially located between the socket 210 and the connecting member 300, effectively shielding the connecting member 300 and greatly reducing the risk of electric shock caused by accidental contact with the connecting member 300. Even when used in harsh environments such as humid or dusty conditions, it can effectively prevent safety accidents caused by accidental contact, fully meeting users' stringent requirements for high safety of the socket 1000.

[0057] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the user inserts the plug 2000 into the socket 1000, the plug 2000 pushes the drive section 420. As the plug 2000 continues to be inserted, the drive section 420 moves from a first position to a second position under force. Since the drive section 420 and the rotating section 410 are an integral structure, the movement of the drive section 420 causes the rotating section 410 to rotate around the pivot 411 connected to the housing 100. The rotation of the rotating section 410 further causes the abutting section 430 to rotate. During the rotation, the abutting section 430 drives the movable cover 200 to move relative to the housing 100 in the opposite direction to the insertion direction of the plug 2000. Finally, the movable cover 200 extends out of the housing 100 from the opening 111 of the receiving cavity 110. Simultaneously, the movement of the drive section 420 completely exposes the contact element 300 relative to the socket 210, allowing the plug 2000 to establish a reliable electrical connection with the contact element 300, achieving stable power transmission.

[0058] In this embodiment, the lifting component 400 adopts a rotatable design, which occupies less space within the limited accommodating cavity 110 compared to traditional linear moving components, further optimizing the internal space layout. Moreover, the rotation and lifting transmission method is relatively simple and direct, and is less prone to jamming or loosening during long-term use, ensuring the stable movement of the movable cover 200 and improving the reliability and service life of the entire device.

[0059] In some embodiments, the length of the abutment segment 430 is greater than the length of the drive segment 420.

[0060] When the drive section 420 is pushed by the plug 2000, it rotates with the connection point between the rotating section 410 and the housing 100 as the fulcrum. Since the length of the abutment section 430 is greater than the length of the drive section 420, a smaller force applied to the drive section 420 can generate a relatively larger force at the end of the abutment section 430 through the longer lever arm of the abutment section 430, thereby amplifying the force. Moreover, the displacement of the end point of the abutment section 430 is greater, which can provide a greater movement distance for the movable cover 200.

[0061] In this embodiment, due to the force amplification effect, the abutting section 430 can drive the movable cover 200 with a greater force. Even when the insertion force of the plug 2000 is small, it can ensure that the movable cover 200 overcomes various resistances, such as friction, and achieves reliable movement, thus ensuring the normal operation of the device. Moreover, the longer abutting section 430 can meet the greater movement requirements of the movable cover 200 without increasing the travel of the driving section 420. This allows the movement range of the driving section 420 to be controlled within a smaller space, while the length advantage of the abutting section 430 can be used to achieve a larger range of movement of the movable cover 200 in other spaces, thereby making more rational use of space layout.

[0062] In some embodiments, the rotating segment 410 is rotatably connected to the housing 100 via a rotating shaft 411, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 411 being perpendicular to the thickness direction of the housing 100.

[0063] The rotating section 410 is rotatably connected to the housing 100 via a rotating shaft 411, which provides a stable center of rotation for the rotating section 410. When the lifting member 400 is subjected to a force from the driving section 420, it will rotate around the rotating shaft 411.

[0064] The axis of the rotating shaft 411 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the housing 100. This determines that the rotation plane of the lifting member 400 is perpendicular to the plane containing the thickness direction of the housing 100. This allows the plug 2000 to be inserted along the thickness direction of the housing 100. The lifting member 400 can be rotated in a direction perpendicular to the insertion plane of the plug 2000 through the drive section 420. This, in turn, drives the abutment section 430 to drive the movable cover 200 to move in the opposite direction of the insertion direction of the plug 2000. The motion transmission path is simple and clear, reducing the energy loss and mechanical failure risk that may be caused by complex motion conversion.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In another embodiment of this application, the lifting member 400 is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity 110, and the sliding direction of the lifting member 400 is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the plug 2000.

[0066] The lifting member 400 has a first pushing part 440 and a second pushing part 450. The first pushing part 440 and the second pushing part 450 are arranged opposite to each other in the sliding direction of the lifting member 400. The first pushing part 440 is exposed at the socket 210 and is used to drive the lifting member 400 to move from the first position to the second position under the abutment of the plug 2000.

[0067] The movable cover 200 is provided with a third pushing part 220 adapted to the second pushing part 450, which is used to drive the movable cover 200 to move relative to the housing 100 in the opposite direction to the insertion direction of the plug 2000 under the abutment of the second pushing part 450.

[0068] like Figure 6 As shown, when the plug 2000 is not inserted, the lifting member 400 is in the first position. At this time, the first pushing part 440 is exposed at the socket 210, forming an effective shield against the electrical component 300, which greatly reduces the risk of electric shock caused by the user accidentally touching the electrical component 300.

[0069] like Figure 7As shown, when the plug 2000 enters the socket 210 along its insertion direction, the plug 2000 abuts against the first pushing part 440 of the lifting member 400. Since the lifting member 400 can slide within the receiving cavity 110, and the sliding direction is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the plug 2000, under the holding force of the plug 2000, the lifting member 400 will overcome friction and other resistance, sliding from the first position to the second position. As the lifting member 400 slides from the first position to the second position, the second pushing part 450 on the lifting member 400, which is opposite to the first pushing part 440, will gradually approach the third pushing part 220 on the movable cover 200. When the two come into contact, the holding force generated by the continued sliding of the second pushing part 450 will be transmitted to the third pushing part 220. Since the third pusher 220 is connected to the movable cover 200, and the movable cover 200 can only move up and down relative to the housing 100 in the insertion direction of the plug 2000, under the supporting action of the second pusher 450, the movable cover 200 will move up and down relative to the housing 100 in the insertion direction of the plug 2000, thereby realizing the functions of opening or closing the socket 210.

[0070] Compared to some complex transmission mechanisms, this embodiment achieves the driving of the movable cover 200 only through the sliding of the lifting member 400 and the mutual abutment between the pushing parts. The structure is relatively simple, reducing manufacturing and assembly costs. It also reduces the risk of failure caused by too many parts, and improves the reliability and stability of the entire device.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first pushing part 440 has an inclined structure, and the inclined surface is inclined along the insertion direction of the plug 2000.

[0072] When the plug 2000 enters the socket 210 along the insertion direction and contacts the first pushing part 440, which has an inclined structure, the force exerted by the plug 2000 on the first pushing part 440 can be decomposed into a force perpendicular to the inclined plane and a force parallel to the inclined plane. The force perpendicular to the inclined plane makes the plug 2000 fit tightly against the inclined plane, while the force parallel to the inclined plane pushes the lifting member 400 to slide in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the plug 2000. Because the inclined plane is inclined along the insertion direction of the plug 2000, this method of force decomposition and transmission can efficiently convert the insertion movement of the plug 2000 into the lateral sliding of the lifting member 400, thereby realizing a change in the direction of movement.

[0073] In this embodiment, the beveled structure makes the contact between the plug 2000 and the first pushing part 440 smoother. Compared with straight contact, it significantly reduces the resistance during insertion, making the insertion of the plug 2000 easier and smoother. This reduces the force required for the user to insert or remove the plug 2000, and also reduces wear on the plug 2000 and socket 210 components, extending their service life. Moreover, the inclination direction of the bevel guides the force of the plug 2000, allowing the lifting member 400 to slide precisely in a predetermined direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the plug 2000. This helps improve the accuracy of the entire mechanism's operation, ensuring that the lifting member 400 slides in the same way every time the plug 2000 is inserted, thereby stably driving the movable cover 200 and ensuring the consistency and reliability of the movable cover 200's movement.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second pushing part 450 and the third pushing part 220 are mutually adapted inclined structures, and the inclined surfaces are inclined along the insertion direction of the plug 2000.

[0075] When the lifting member 400 slides from the first position to the second position due to the resistance of the plug 2000 against the first pushing part 440, the second pushing part 450 moves accordingly. Since the second pushing part 450 and the third pushing part 220 are mutually adaptable inclined structures, and both are inclined along the insertion direction of the plug 2000, the second pushing part 450 contacts and presses against the third pushing part 220 as it moves. At this time, the force exerted by the second pushing part 450 on the third pushing part 220 can be decomposed into two components: one perpendicular to the inclined plane and one parallel to the inclined plane. The component perpendicular to the inclined plane causes the two inclined planes to fit tightly together, while the component parallel to the inclined plane and along the insertion direction of the plug 2000 drives the movable cover 200 to move relative to the housing 100 along the insertion direction of the plug 2000, thereby converting the sliding of the lifting member 400 perpendicular to the insertion direction of the plug 2000 into the linear movement of the movable cover 200 along the insertion direction of the plug 2000.

[0076] In this embodiment, two mutually adaptable inclined plane structures achieve efficient conversion of the movement direction and force between the lifting member 400 and the movable cover 200. The lateral sliding of the lifting member 400 is precisely converted into the up-and-down movement of the movable cover 200 in the insertion direction of the plug 2000. The entire process is simple and smooth, with minimal energy loss, ensuring the high efficiency of the device operation. During the process of the second pushing part 450 pushing the third pushing part 220, due to the guiding and buffering effect of the inclined planes, the driving force on the movable cover 200 changes gradually, avoiding impacts and vibrations caused by sudden force, and ensuring the smoothness of the movable cover 200's movement.

[0077] In some embodiments, the socket 1000 further includes a first reset member 500, which is disposed between the housing 100 and the lifting member 400, and is used to provide a force to the lifting member 400 to move it from the second position to the first position.

[0078] The first reset member 500 is typically an elastic component, such as a spring. When the plug 2000 is inserted into the socket 210, it pushes the lifting member 400 from the first position to the second position. During this process, the first reset member 500 is compressed or stretched, thus storing elastic potential energy. When the plug 2000 is pulled out, the external force acting on the lifting member 400 disappears, and the elastic potential energy stored in the first reset member 500 begins to be released, generating a spring force that restores it to its original shape. This spring force becomes the force that pushes the lifting member 400 from the second position to the first position, causing the lifting member 400 to return to its initial first position.

[0079] In addition, since the elastic force of the first reset member 500 is such that the lifting member 400 abuts against the pin of the plug 2000, the friction of the pin is increased, which can prevent the plug 2000 from shaking or coming loose after being inserted into the socket 210.

[0080] This embodiment achieves automatic reset of the lifting member 400 by setting a first reset member 500. When the plug 2000 is unplugged, the lifting member 400 automatically returns to the first position without manual intervention, making it convenient to use. Each time the plug 2000 is inserted and removed, the lifting member 400 accurately switches between the first and second positions, allowing the movable cover 200 to open and close the socket 210 accordingly. This cyclical operation ensures the normal function of the socket 1000 and extends its service life. Without the first reset member 500, the lifting member 400 might remain in the second position, preventing the movable cover 200 from properly closing the socket 210, thus affecting the safety and protection performance of the socket 1000.

[0081] In some embodiments, the socket 1000 further includes a second reset member 600, which is disposed between the movable cover 200 and the housing 100, and is used to provide a force to reset the movable cover 200.

[0082] When the plug 2000 is inserted into the socket 210, the lifting member 400 moves from the first position to the second position under the push of the plug 2000, and drives the movable cover 200 to move relative to the housing 100 in the opposite direction of the plug 2000 insertion direction. During this process, the second reset member 600 will deform (e.g., be compressed or stretched), thereby storing elastic potential energy. When the plug 2000 is pulled out, the lifting member 400 resets under the action of the first reset member 500 and no longer applies a driving force to the movable cover 200. At this time, the second reset member 600 begins to release elastic potential energy, generating a force that returns the movable cover 200 to its initial position, thus resetting the movable cover 200.

[0083] This embodiment achieves automatic reset of the movable cover 200 by setting a second reset component 600, reducing the time that the movable cover 200 and the internal components of the socket 210 are exposed to the external environment, and lowering the probability of damage to the components due to oxidation, corrosion, wear, and other factors. At the same time, the accurate reset of the movable cover 200 ensures a good sealing fit with the socket 210, further protecting the internal structure of the socket 1000 and extending the overall service life of the socket 1000.

[0084] In some embodiments, the movable cover 200 is provided with two insertion holes 210;

[0085] There are two electrical connectors 300, namely a positive electrical connector 300 and a negative electrical connector 300, and the positive electrical connector 300 and the negative electrical connector 300 are respectively located in a socket 210;

[0086] There are two lifting components 400, each of which is located in a socket 210.

[0087] Each socket 210 is equipped with an independent lifting member 400 and a corresponding electrical contact member 300 (positive or negative). When the plug 2000 is inserted into a socket 210, the lifting member 400 in that socket 210 will move under the push of the plug 2000, ensuring that the operation of each socket 210 does not interfere with each other.

[0088] In this embodiment, the positive terminal 300 and the negative terminal 300 are located in different sockets 210. When the plug 2000 is correctly inserted into the corresponding socket 210, the electrodes of the plug 2000 contact the corresponding terminal 300 (positive or negative), thereby forming a complete circuit, realizing the transmission of current, and powering the electrical equipment.

Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. All obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
