Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sockets, and more particularly to sockets with anti-electric shock function. Background Technology
[0002] An electrical outlet is an electrical device designed to provide a convenient way to temporarily connect electrical appliances to a power supply system. It is typically installed on a wall or other surface and contains one or more sockets into which the plug of an appliance can be inserted to obtain power. Each socket is equipped with springs or metal contacts. When the plug of an appliance is inserted into the outlet, the metal pieces on the plug form an electrical connection with the corresponding metal contacts in the outlet.
[0003] The socket contains conductive parts that are directly connected to the power source (such as the live wire and the neutral wire). If a person comes into direct contact with these live parts, the current will flow through the person to the ground or other low-potential points, causing an electric shock. Children, in particular, may insert their fingers or other objects into the socket holes out of curiosity.
[0004] Therefore, how to prevent electric shock from sockets has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a socket with anti-electric shock function that can be installed on the front side of the panel when the socket is not in use, so that unauthorized personnel, especially children, will not accidentally touch the first socket group and the second socket group, thereby improving the safety of use.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a panel and a working part, the working part being located on the front side of the panel, and also includes a protective cover. The working part is cylindrical and has a first socket group and a second socket group inside. A dustproof ring is provided on the front side of the working part, abutting against the panel. The protective cover is located on the front side of the dustproof ring and is fitted with the dustproof ring. Both the first socket group and the second socket group are located inside the dustproof ring. The forward projections of the first socket group and the second socket group both fall on the protective cover. The protective cover and the dustproof ring are detachably connected.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the protective cover is made of rubber, and the outer wall of the dustproof ring is provided with a plurality of positioning blocks at intervals along the circumference, and the protective cover is provided with a positioning slot corresponding to each positioning block.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that each of the positioning blocks is a trapezoidal shape with a narrow outer side and a wide inner side, and the inner side is fixedly connected to the dustproof ring.
[0009] The present invention is further configured to include a connecting plate located on the rear side of the panel, an even number of mounting parts are rotatably mounted on the rear side of the working part, the mounting parts are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the working part, the connecting plate is provided with a first mounting groove on the rotation trajectory of each mounting part, the working part is provided with a second mounting groove for each mounting part to be rotatably inserted into, each mounting part is respectively inserted into the corresponding first mounting groove and is detachably connected to the connecting plate or located in the corresponding second mounting groove and is detachably connected to the working part.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the connecting plate and the panel are detachably connected; the connecting plate is provided with limiting members in each of the first mounting slots; each limiting member includes an insertion section for inserting the corresponding mounting member, a limiting section located on the rear side of each mounting member and abutting against the rear side of the corresponding mounting member, an insertion section located on the rear side of each limiting section with a width smaller than the corresponding insertion section, and a through deformation groove; the width of each limiting section is greater than the corresponding insertion section; and each mounting member is provided with an insertion slot adapted to the shape of the insertion section.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: each of the mounting components is provided with a first magnet, and each of the working parts located in each of the second mounting slots is provided with a second magnet.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: each of the top corners of the connecting plate is provided with a socket, and the panel is provided with a screw hole corresponding to each socket.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, since both the first and second socket groups are located inside the dustproof ring and the protective cover is detachably connected to the dustproof ring, when the socket is not in use, after the protective cover is inserted into the circumference of the dustproof ring, the forward projections of the first and second socket groups fall on the protective cover. Therefore, after the connection between the protective cover and the dustproof ring is completed, it is difficult for unauthorized personnel to access these live parts, especially children, who will not have the opportunity to insert their fingers or other objects into the socket holes. This improves the safety of the socket when it is not in use, reduces the possibility of accidental electric shock, and the dustproof ring also makes it difficult for external dust to fall into the first and second socket groups from the circumference, thus reducing the possibility of dust entering.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] like Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model discloses a socket with anti-electric shock function, including a panel 1 and a working part 2. The working part 2 is located on the front side of the panel 1 and also includes a protective cover 3. The working part 2 is cylindrical and has a first socket group 21 and a second socket group 22. Both the first socket group 21 and the second socket group 22 have metal contact points that connect to the conductive parts of the power supply (this is prior art and is not shown in the figure). A dustproof ring 23 is provided on the front side of the working part 2, which abuts against the panel 1. The protective cover 3 is located in front of the dustproof ring 23 and is fitted with the dustproof ring 23. The first socket group 21 and the second socket group 22 are both located inside the dustproof ring 23. The forward projections of the first socket group 21 and the second socket group 22 both fall on the protective cover 3. The protective cover 3 and the dustproof ring 23 are fastened together. The sockets are detachably connected by bolts or other means. Since the first socket group 21 and the second socket group 22 are both located inside the dustproof ring 23 and the protective cover 3 is detachably connected to the dustproof ring 23, when the socket is not in use, after the protective cover 3 is inserted into the circumference of the dustproof ring 23, the forward projections of the first socket group 21 and the second socket group 22 fall on the protective cover 3. Therefore, after the connection between the protective cover 3 and the dustproof ring 23 is completed, it is difficult for unauthorized personnel to come into contact with these live parts, especially children, who will not have the opportunity to insert their fingers or other objects into the socket holes. This improves the safety of the socket when it is not in use and reduces the possibility of accidental electric shock. In addition, the dustproof ring 23 makes it difficult for external dust to fall into the first socket group 21 and the second socket group 22 from the circumference, thus reducing the possibility of dust entering.
[0027] The protective cover 3 is made of rubber. The outer wall of the dustproof ring 23 is provided with a number of positioning blocks 231 spaced circumferentially. The protective cover 3 is provided with a positioning slot 31 corresponding to each positioning block 231. The rubber protective cover 3 is more easily deformable, so that the protective cover 3 can be pried outward and the positioning blocks 231 fall into the corresponding positioning slots 31. The positioning blocks 231 and the positioning slots 31 achieve quick engagement, which makes it easy for users to remove or install the protective cover 3. At the same time, the cooperation between the positioning blocks 231 and the positioning slots 31 enhances the connection stability between the protective cover 3 and the dustproof ring 23, preventing them from falling off and separating after the protective cover 3 is installed.
[0028] Preferably, each of the positioning blocks 231 is a trapezoidal shape with a narrower outer side and a wider inner side, and its inner side is fixedly connected to the dustproof ring 23 by means of integral molding or other methods. When the protective cover 3 is pried outward to be fitted around the dustproof ring 23, the outermost side of each positioning block 231, that is, the end face of the narrowest side, is the first to enter the corresponding positioning slot 31. Therefore, the trapezoidal shape of the positioning blocks 231 can facilitate the alignment and cooperation of each positioning slot 31 with the corresponding positioning block 231.
[0029] In addition, a connecting plate 4 is located on the rear side of the panel 1. An even number of mounting parts 24 are rotatably mounted on the rear side of the working part 2. Each mounting part 24 is arranged at intervals along the circumference of the working part 2. The connecting plate 4 is provided with a first mounting groove 41 on the rotation trajectory of each mounting part 24. The working part 2 is provided with a second mounting groove 25 for each mounting part 24 to be rotatably inserted into. Each mounting part 24 is inserted into the corresponding first mounting groove 41 and is detachably connected to the connecting plate 4, or is located in the corresponding second mounting groove 25 and is detachably connected to the working part 2. 1. After each mounting part 24 is rotatably inserted into the corresponding second mounting groove 25, the detachable connection between each mounting part 24 and the working part 2 is completed, so that each mounting part 24 is located in the working part 2. At this time, since each mounting part 24 does not protrude relative to the working part 2, the working part 2 can be inserted. Panel 1 allows each mounting component 24 to reach the rear side of the connecting plate 4. After each mounting component 24 is rotated to the corresponding first mounting slot 41 to complete the detachable connection with the connecting plate 4, the working part 2 is installed with the connecting plate 4, thus determining the position of the working part 2. Since the number of mounting components 24 is even, after the working part 2 is inserted into panel 1 and connecting plate 4, the working part 2 can be rotated so that a mounting component 24 at a certain position rotates and engages with the first mounting slot 41 at another position. At the same time, other mounting components 24 can enter the first mounting slot 41 at the corresponding position to complete the connection with the connecting plate 4. By changing the mounting components 24 to be installed in the first mounting slot 41 at different positions, the working part 2 can be rotated relative to panel 1, causing the positions of the first socket group 21 and the second socket group 22 to rotate to meet different usage requirements.
[0030] The connecting plate 4 and the panel 1 are detachably connected by bolts or other means. Each first mounting slot 41 of the connecting plate 4 is provided with a limiting member 42. Each limiting member 42 includes an insertion section 421 for inserting a corresponding mounting member 24, a limiting section 422 located behind and abutting the rear side of each mounting member 24, an insertion section 423 located behind each limiting section 422 with a width smaller than the corresponding insertion section 421, and a through deformation groove 424. The width of each limiting section 422 is greater than the corresponding insertion section 421. Each mounting member 24 is provided with an insertion groove 242 that matches the shape of the insertion section 421. Because the connecting plate 4 and the panel 1 are detachable, the first mounting slot 41 of the connecting plate 4 can be processed individually to stably position the limiting member 42 within the corresponding first mounting slot 41. Furthermore, because each limiting member 42 has a through deformation groove 424, the working part 2 inserts... After the panel 1 and the connecting plate 4 are connected, each mounting component 24 is rotated to enter the corresponding first mounting groove 41. The first component to enter each insertion groove 242 is the insertion section 423, whose width at the rear end of each limiting component 42 is smaller than that of the insertion section 421 and the limiting section 422. Therefore, the width of each insertion section 423 is smaller than that of the corresponding insertion groove 242, which facilitates the alignment of the limiting component 42 and the insertion groove 242. Then, the limiting section 422, whose width is larger than that of the corresponding insertion section 421, enters the insertion groove 242. At this time, by applying force to each limiting section 422, it is pressed towards the deformation groove 424, so that each limiting section 422 can forcibly cross the corresponding insertion groove 242. Since each limiting section 422 will abut against the corresponding limiting component 42, without the action of external force, the limiting component 42 cannot rotate due to the restriction of each limiting section 422, thus preventing the working part 2 from rotating and connecting it with the connecting plate 4.
[0031] Each of the mounting components 24 is provided with a first magnet 241, and each of the working parts 2 is provided with a second magnet 26 located in each of the second mounting slots 25. Before inserting the working part 2 into the panel 1 and the connecting plate 4, each mounting component 24 is rotated and placed into the corresponding second mounting slot 25. At this time, the first magnet 241 on each mounting component 24 will attract the second magnet 26 located in each of the second mounting slots 25 of the working part 2, thereby enabling each mounting component 24 to be stably located in the corresponding second mounting slot 25.
[0032] The connecting plate 4 is provided with a socket 43 at each of its top corners, and the panel 1 is provided with a screw hole 11 corresponding to each socket 43. Since the panel 1 is provided with a screw hole 11 corresponding to each socket of the connecting plate 4, the connection between the connecting plate 4 and the panel 1 can be achieved by inserting the bolts (not shown in the figure) with the corresponding parameters into each socket 43 and completing the thread engagement with the corresponding screw hole 11. If the limiting member 42 is worn, the connecting plate 4 can be replaced by separating the connecting plate 4 and the panel 1, thereby extending the service life of the working part 2 and the panel 1.
[0033] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
