Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, specifically to a socket panel with a moisture-proof structure. Background Technology
[0002] Socket panels are key devices for power supply in both residential and commercial environments, providing not only electrical interfaces but also aesthetic appeal and convenience. Currently, bathroom socket panels typically feature moisture-proof covers; however, these covers are hinged to the panel, and when a three-prong plug is inserted, wiring issues can prevent the cover from fully closing, leaving a significant gap between the panel and the cover. This allows moisture to easily penetrate. Therefore, a socket panel with a moisture-proof structure is proposed to reduce the gap between the panel and the cover during use, thereby improving moisture protection.
[0003] CN222515055U discloses a socket panel with a moisture-proof structure, including a socket panel body, a first baffle, a second baffle, and a sliding assembly. The bottom of the socket panel body is fixed to a base by screws, and a wire hole is formed at the center of the base surface. A moisture-proof cover is provided on one side of the socket panel body. The sliding assembly includes a slide rail and a slider. A wire-passing notch allows the plug wire to pass through and be secured in the wire hole. After the wire is secured in the wire hole, the first and second baffles shield and block the wire. The moisture-proof cover is then placed on top of the base on one side of the socket panel body, thus achieving a sealing effect on the socket's usage area and improving moisture protection. In practical use, sockets installed in bathrooms especially require moisture protection. Bathroom sockets may sometimes need to be connected to a washing machine or sometimes to a water heater. However, in this invention, when it is necessary to replace the appliance connected to the socket, the first and second baffles must be removed before replacement, and then reinstalled afterward, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the present invention provides a socket panel with a moisture-proof structure.
[0005] A socket panel with a moisture-proof structure includes a plug connector, the plug connector including a recessed cavity, a plug plate being disposed within the cavity, a plug being located in the cavity and connected to the plug plate, a cover plate being rotatably mounted on the open end of the plug connector, and a moisture-proof component being disposed at the bottom of the plug connector and the cover plate, the moisture-proof component including a first moisture-proof curtain installed on the plug connector and a second moisture-proof curtain installed on the cover plate.
[0006] Furthermore, the end of the first moisture-proof curtain abuts against the limiting block on the cover plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the second moisture-proof curtain comes into contact with the plug connector.
[0008] Furthermore, a sealing strip is provided on the inner side of the cover plate of the plug connector at the junction of the cover plate and the plug connector.
[0009] Furthermore, the plug connector has an inclined surface at the bottom of the cavity.
[0010] Furthermore, the cover plate is connected to the plug connector via a pivot at its top. The bottom of the plug connector is provided with a magnet, and the cover plate is provided with a magnetic strip that attracts the magnet.
[0011] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model, the plug connector includes a recessed cavity. When the cover plate covers the open end of the plug connector, the plug is located in the cavity, thereby forming a relatively closed cavity between the cover plate and the plug connector. If water falls onto the socket panel, the water droplets can slide down along the side wall of the socket cover and the side wall of the cover plate, without falling onto the plug, thus increasing the safety of electrical appliance use. The plug wire passes through the gap between the plug connector and the bottom of the cover plate. A moisture-proof component is provided at the bottom of the plug connector and the cover plate, which can reduce the amount of moisture entering the socket panel through the gap between the plug connector and the bottom of the cover plate, further improving the safety of use and increasing the service life of the socket panel.

[0017] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only one embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other embodiments can be obtained based on these drawings and embodiments without creative effort, and all of them fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0018] according to Figure 1-4 As shown, a socket panel with a moisture-proof structure includes a plug connector 1, the plug connector 1 including a recessed cavity 2, a socket plate 3 disposed in the cavity 2, a plug located in the cavity 2 and connected to the socket plate 3, a cover plate 4 rotatably mounted on the open end of the plug connector 1, and a moisture-proof component provided at the bottom of the plug connector 1 and the cover plate 4, the moisture-proof component including a first moisture-proof curtain 5 installed on the plug connector 1 and a second moisture-proof curtain 6 installed on the cover plate 4.
[0019] In the above specific technical solution, the plug connector 1 includes a recessed cavity 2. When the cover plate 4 covers the open end of the plug connector 1, the plug is located in the cavity 2, thus forming a relatively closed cavity 2 between the cover plate 4 and the plug connector 1. If water falls onto the socket panel, the water droplets can slide down along the side wall of the socket cover plate 4 and the side wall of the cover plate 4, without falling onto the plug, thus increasing the safety of electrical appliance use. The plug wire passes through the gap between the plug connector 1 and the bottom of the cover plate 4. A moisture-proof component is provided at the bottom of the plug connector 1 and the cover plate 4, which can reduce the amount of moisture entering the socket panel through the gap between the plug connector 1 and the bottom of the cover plate 4, further improving the safety of use and increasing the service life of the socket panel.
[0020] It is worth noting that both the first moisture-proof curtain 5 and the second moisture-proof curtain 6 are composed of densely packed strips. The plug wire can pass directly through the first moisture-proof curtain 5 and the second moisture-proof curtain 6. The strips are made of a material with a certain degree of water absorption and conformability. Furthermore, the first moisture-proof curtain 5 and the second moisture-proof curtain 6 are staggered in height, which can effectively improve the moisture-proof effect.
[0021] The end of the first moisture-proof curtain 5 abuts against the limiting block 7 on the cover plate 4. The limiting block 7 limits the wire, ensuring that the wire passes through the first moisture-proof curtain 5 and the second moisture-proof curtain 6.
[0022] The second moisture-proof curtain 6 abuts against the plug connector 1, improving the sealing of the socket panel.
[0023] A sealing strip 8 is provided on the inner side of the cover plate 4 of the plug connector 1 at the point where the cover plate 4 meets the plug connector 1, which further improves the sealing performance of the socket panel.
[0024] The plug connector 1 has an inclined surface 9 at the bottom of the cavity 2, which guides the direction of the wire.
[0025] The cover plate 4 is connected to the plug connector 1 via a pivot 10 at its top. The bottom of the plug connector 1 is provided with a magnet 11, and the cover plate 4 is provided with a magnetic strip 12 that attracts the magnet 11. After the plug is inserted into the socket 3, the user rotates the cover plate 4 downwards so that the cover plate 4 covers the opening end of the plug connector 1. Under the action of the magnet 11 and the magnetic strip 12, the cover plate 4 and the plug connector 1 are in tight contact, which increases the waterproofness of the socket panel.
[0026] In actual use, the user first flips the cover plate 4 upwards, inserts the plug into the socket 3, then opens the first moisture-proof curtain 5 and the second moisture-proof curtain 6, buries the wire between the first and second dust-proof curtains, and then rotates the cover plate 4 downwards so that the cover plate 4 covers the plug connector 1, and the plug is located in the recessed cavity 2 of the plug connector 1, which can improve the waterproofness of the socket cover plate 4.
[0027] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The scope of protection of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
