Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A safety socket is a socket that automatically cuts off the power in situations such as when the voltage suddenly rises to 250V or higher, which could cause harm to the human body.

[0003] Existing patent CN218940067U discloses a safety socket, relating to the field of electrical connector technology, including a panel, a housing and a safety door, a first conductive element, a second conductive element, a transmission element and a reset element.

[0004] The aforementioned patents or existing safety sockets have the following problems:

[0005] Existing safety sockets offer only limited protection for the socket openings, allowing dust, fire, and rainwater to enter, resulting in a generally suboptimal safety situation. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a safety socket to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a safety socket, including a power socket, a socket panel installed on the power socket, a socket provided on the socket panel, a protective structure provided on the socket panel, the protective structure including a fixed base, a fixed base fixed in the socket panel, a rotating rod connected in the fixed base, a torsion spring assembled inside the fixed base, a protective plate provided at one end of the rotating rod, a socket provided on the protective plate, and a driving component provided on the surface of the protective plate.

[0008] Preferably, the rear end of the rotating rod is provided with an end cap, and a connector is provided on the end cap, the connector being connected to the rotating rod.

[0009] Preferably, the end cap is provided with a positioning block.

[0010] Preferably, the drive element is cylindrical and protrudes from the surface of the protective plate.

[0011] Preferably, the fixed base has a fixed groove inside, and the rotating rod has a sliding rod on its surface. The sliding rod is located inside the fixed groove and can slide along the inner wall of the fixed groove.

[0012] Preferably, the protective plate slides within the fixed groove at a maximum angle of 180 degrees.

[0013] Preferably, after the protective plate is rotated 180 degrees, the socket will be aligned with the socket.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The protective plate is driven to rotate counterclockwise by a drive mechanism. The rotation of the protective plate causes the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn causes the torsion spring to deform and generate elastic force. After the protective plate rotates, the socket will align with the socket, and the plug can then be inserted into the socket. After use, the plug is unplugged, the torsion spring loses its force, and the rotating rod drives the protective plate to rotate back to its original position. After rotation, the socket will be misaligned with the socket, and the protective plate will cover the socket, thus protecting it. This effectively protects the socket from dust and water, improving the protection capability of the socket. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a safety socket, including a power base 1, a socket panel 2 installed on the power base 1, a socket 3 provided on the socket panel 2, a plug can be connected to the power base 1 through the socket 3, and a protective structure 4 is provided on the socket panel 2.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 This utility model provides a safety socket. The protective structure 4 includes a fixed base 41. The fixed base 41 is integrally formed in the middle of the socket panel 2. The fixed base 41 is equipped with a rotating rod 42 that is rotatably connected inside. The rear end of the fixed base 41 is equipped with a torsion spring 43. One end of the torsion spring 43 is fixed inside the fixed base 41, and the other end is connected to the rotating rod 42. The front end of the rotating rod 42 is integrally formed with a protective plate 44. The protective plate 44 has a socket 45. The surface of the protective plate 44 is provided with a driving member 46. The driving member 46 is cylindrical and protrudes from the surface of the protective plate 44 to facilitate the rotation of the protective plate 44.

[0026] The rear end of the rotating rod 42 is provided with an end cap 47, and a connector 48 is integrally formed on the end cap 47. The connector 48 is connected to the rotating rod 42, and the end cap 47 can be easily disassembled to maintain the torsion spring 43. The end cap 47 is provided with a positioning block 49, which can position the torsion spring 43.

[0027] The fixed base 41 has a fixed groove 410 inside. The rotating rod 42 has an integrally formed sliding rod 411 on its surface. The sliding rod 411 is located inside the fixed groove 410 and can slide along the inner wall of the fixed groove 410. The maximum sliding angle of the protective plate 44 is 180 degrees because the sliding rod 411 slides in the fixed groove 410. At the same time, the socket 45 will be aligned with the socket 45 to facilitate docking and installation.

[0028] When the socket is needed, the user drives the protective plate 44 to rotate counterclockwise via the drive component 46, which in turn drives the rotating rod 42 to rotate along the inner wall of the fixed base 41. At the same time, the sliding rod 411 rotates along the inner side of the fixed groove 410. When the rotating rod 42 rotates, the torsion spring 43 is deformed by force and generates elastic force. After the sliding rod 411 rotates 180° inside the fixed groove 410, the socket 45 will align with the socket 3. Then the user can plug the plug into the socket 3 through the socket 45. After use, the plug is unplugged, the torsion spring 43 loses force and drives the rotating rod 42 to reset the protective plate 44. After rotation, the socket 45 will be misaligned with the socket 3, and the protective plate 44 will cover the socket 3, thus protecting the socket 3. This effectively protects the socket 3 from dust and water, improving the protection capability of the socket.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
