Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure pertains to the field of electronic devices, and particularly relates to a socket assembly and a receptacle. Background Technology
[0002] A socket is a common electronic device used to receive the plug of an electrical appliance, thereby supplying power to the appliance.
[0003] In related technologies, a socket mainly includes a housing and a socket assembly located inside the housing. The socket assembly includes a socket clip. During the insertion of a plug, the plug prongs pass through the socket holes on the housing and abut against the socket clip. Under the action of external force, the prongs gradually open the socket clip to insert into the socket clip.
[0004] However, in order to accommodate the use of high-power electrical appliances, the material of the plug clip is thickened, resulting in insufficient elasticity of the plug clip itself, requiring greater external force to insert and remove the plug. Utility Model Content
[0005] This disclosure provides a socket assembly and a receptacle that ensure smooth insertion and removal of the plug. The technical solution is as follows:
[0006] On one hand, embodiments of this disclosure provide a socket assembly, including a socket clip;

[0009] The first elastic segment and the second elastic segment are arranged at intervals relative to each other, and at least one of the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment is arc-shaped. The distance between the end of the first elastic segment connected to the first clamping segment and the end of the second elastic segment connected to the second clamping segment is less than the distance between the end of the first elastic segment connected to the connecting segment and the end of the second elastic segment connected to the connecting segment.

[0013] In another implementation of this disclosure, the first elastic segment is arc-shaped;
[0014] The second elastic segment has a hollowed-out portion, which is elongated and the length direction of the hollowed-out portion is consistent with the length direction of the second elastic segment.
[0015] In another implementation of this disclosure, the connection between the first elastic segment and the first clamping segment is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped protrusion between the first elastic segment and the first clamping segment faces the second elastic segment;
[0016] The connection between the second elastic segment and the second clamping segment is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped protrusion between the second elastic segment and the second clamping segment faces the first elastic segment.
[0017] In another implementation of this disclosure, the arcuate protrusion between the first elastic segment and the first clamping segment faces the second elastic segment;
[0018] The arc-shaped protrusion between the second elastic segment and the second clamping segment faces the first elastic segment.
[0019] In another implementation of this disclosure, the two opposing surfaces of the first clamping segment and the second clamping segment are both relatively convex arc surfaces.
[0020] In another implementation of this disclosure, the insertion gap has a socket located on one side of the extending direction of the first clamping segment and the second clamping segment, or the socket is located at one end of the extending direction of the first clamping segment and the second clamping segment.
[0021] In another implementation of this disclosure, the insert clip further includes a first guide segment and a second guide segment;
[0022] Both the first guide segment and the second guide segment are located at the socket. One side of the first guide segment is connected to the first clamping segment, and one side of the second guide segment is connected to the second clamping segment. The side of the first guide segment facing away from the first clamping segment and the side of the second guide segment facing away from the second clamping segment extend away from each other.
[0023] In another implementation of this disclosure, the insert clip further includes a first support protrusion and a second support protrusion;
[0024] The first support protrusion is located at one end of the first clamping segment away from the first elastic segment along the length direction of the first clamping segment, and is connected to the first clamping segment;
[0025] The second support protrusion is located at one end of the second clamping segment away from the second elastic segment along the length direction of the second clamping segment, and is connected to the second clamping segment. The second support protrusion and the first support protrusion are arranged at a distance from each other.
[0026] In another implementation of this disclosure, the insert clip further includes a support section and a mounting portion;
[0027] One end of the support section is connected to the connecting section, and the other end of the support section is connected to the mounting part;
[0028] The socket assembly also includes a terminal block, and the mounting part is inserted into the terminal block.
[0029] In another implementation of this disclosure, the mounting section includes a first mounting segment, a second mounting segment, and a third mounting segment connected in sequence;
[0030] The first mounting section and the third mounting section are opposite each other, and the side wall of the terminal block is inserted between the first mounting section and the second mounting section.
[0031] On the other hand, embodiments of this disclosure provide a socket including the socket assembly described in the preceding aspect.
[0032] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in this disclosure include at least the following:
[0033] The socket assembly provided in this embodiment includes a socket clamp, which is composed of a first clamping section, a first elastic section, a connecting section, a second elastic section, and a second clamping section connected in sequence. The first clamping section and the second clamping section are arranged opposite to each other with a mating gap between them to accommodate the plug pins and achieve a stable clamping of the pins. The first elastic section and the second elastic section are arranged opposite to each other with a gap between them to provide sufficient space for elastic deformation. When the pins are inserted into the mating gap, the force applied by the pins is transmitted to the first elastic section and the second elastic section through the first clamping section and the second clamping section, causing the first elastic section and the second elastic section to undergo elastic deformation, so as to facilitate the first clamping section and the second clamping section to move away from each other, and the pins can be smoothly inserted into the mating gap. Furthermore, since at least one of the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment is arc-shaped, during the elastic deformation of at least one of the first elastic segment and the second elastic segment, it will be compressed in the length direction, thereby reducing the length. In other words, the lever arm of the clamping force on the pin decreases, and the clamping force increases accordingly, so as to better ensure the stable clamping of the pin.
[0034] In other words, the socket assembly provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, through the arc-shaped first elastic segment and the second elastic segment, can ensure that the plug pins can be smoothly inserted into the insertion gap, and can also ensure that the pins are firmly clamped after insertion.

Detailed Implementation
[0051] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0052] This disclosure provides a socket, Figure 1 See the structural diagram of the socket. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the socket includes a panel 100, a pressure plate 200, a back cover 300, a protective door 400, and a socket assembly 500.
[0053] The socket assembly 500 is located inside the rear cover 300, and the pressure plate 200 covers the opening of the rear cover 300 to ensure reliable housing of the socket assembly 500. A protective door 400 is positioned between the pressure plate 200 and the socket assembly 500 to ensure electrical safety. A panel 100 is attached to the side of the pressure plate 200 facing away from the rear cover 300, and the panel 100 is connected to the rear cover 300. Both the panel 100 and the pressure plate 200 have through-holes 600, each corresponding to a socket assembly 500. The socket assembly 500 includes a live wire socket assembly, a neutral wire socket assembly, and a ground wire socket assembly. The live wire socket assembly corresponds to the live wire socket and is used to receive the live wire pin of the plug; the neutral wire socket assembly corresponds to the neutral wire socket and is used to receive the neutral wire pin of the plug; and the ground wire socket assembly corresponds to the ground wire socket and is used to receive the ground wire pin of the plug.
[0054] This socket can be a 10A, 16A, or 32A socket. If the socket is 10A or 16A, the ground wire socket is arranged vertically, while the live and neutral wire sockets are arranged diagonally. If the socket is 32A, the ground wire socket is arranged horizontally, while the live and neutral wire sockets are arranged diagonally (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 1 ).
[0055] The following explanation uses the socket assembly 500 as an example of a grounding socket assembly for a 32A socket.
[0056] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the socket assembly, combined with Figure 2 In this embodiment, the socket assembly includes a socket clip 10.
[0057] The insert clip 10 includes a first clamping section 111, a first elastic section 121, a connecting section 130, a second elastic section 122, and a second clamping section 112 connected in sequence.
[0058] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the insert clip 10. Figure 3 The perspective is Figure 2 A-direction perspective, combined Figure 3 In this embodiment, there is an insertion gap 113 between the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112. The first elastic segment 121 and the second elastic segment 122 are arranged at intervals relative to each other. At least one of the first elastic segment 121 and the second elastic segment 122 is arc-shaped. The distance A between the end of the first elastic segment 121 connected to the first clamping segment 111 and the end of the second elastic segment 122 connected to the second clamping segment 112 is less than the distance B between the end of the first elastic segment 121 connected to the connecting segment 130 and the end of the second elastic segment 122 connected to the connecting segment 130.
[0059] The socket assembly provided in this embodiment includes a socket clip 10, which is composed of a first clamping section 111, a first elastic section 121, a connecting section 130, a second elastic section 122, and a second clamping section 112 connected in sequence. The first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112 are arranged at a distance from each other, with a plug-in gap 113 between them for accommodating the prongs of the plug to achieve a stable clamping of the prongs. The first elastic section 121 and the second elastic section 122 are arranged at a distance from each other, and the gap between them provides sufficient space for elastic deformation. When the pin is inserted into the insertion gap 113, the force applied by the pin will be transmitted through the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112 to the first elastic section 121 and the second elastic section 122, causing the first elastic section 121 and the second elastic section 122 to undergo elastic deformation, so as to facilitate the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112 to move in opposite directions to each other, and the pin can be smoothly inserted into the insertion gap 113 between the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112.
[0060] In this embodiment, the insertion port 114 of the insertion gap 113 is located on one side of the extension direction of the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112.
[0061] In the above implementation, the socket 114 is located on the side of the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112, and the insertion direction of the pin 1000 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112. In this case, the insert clip 10 is arranged laterally.
[0062] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the elastic deformation of the insert clamp. Figure 4 perspective and Figure 3 Consistency, Combination Figure 4 Since both the first elastic segment 121 and the second elastic segment 122 are arc-shaped, they can easily undergo elastic deformation, which is beneficial for the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112 to move back to back, thereby allowing the pin 1000 to be smoothly inserted into the insertion gap 113.
[0063] Furthermore, as the pin 1000 is inserted, the contact points between the pin 1000 and the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112 gradually move towards the connecting segment, thereby reducing the distance C between the contact points of the first clamping segment 111 and the pin 1000 and the connecting segment 130, and the distance C between the contact points of the second clamping segment 112 and the pin 1000 and the connecting segment 130. Figure 4 The distance C on the upper side is greater than Figure 4 The distance C on the lower side, that is, the lever arm of the clamping force on the pin 1000 decreases, and the clamping force increases accordingly, so as to better ensure the stable clamping of the pin 1000.
[0064] In other words, the socket assembly provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, through the arc-shaped first elastic segment 121 and second elastic segment 122, can ensure that the plug pin 1000 can be smoothly inserted into the insertion gap 113, and can also ensure that the plug pin 1000 is firmly clamped after insertion.
[0065] See you again Figure 3 In this embodiment, the arc-shaped recess of the first elastic segment 121 faces the second elastic segment 122, and the arc-shaped recess of the second elastic segment 122 faces the first elastic segment 121.
[0066] In the above implementation, the lengths of the arc-shaped first elastic segment 121 and the second elastic segment 122 are more likely to produce elastic deformation compared to the lengths of the straight first elastic segment 121 and the second elastic segment 122.
[0067] Furthermore, the first elastic segment 121 and the second elastic segment 122, being arc-shaped, are more prone to elastic deformation when subjected to external force on the convex side than when subjected to external force on the concave side. Therefore, by designing the orientation of the arc-shaped concavity of the first elastic segment 121 and the second elastic segment 122, the degree to which the first elastic segment 121 and the second elastic segment 122 are prone to elastic deformation can be adjusted.
[0068] For example, the direction of the force applied by the pin can be determined if the arc-shaped recess of the first elastic segment 121 and the arc-shaped recess of the second elastic segment 122 are opposite (see...). Figure 3If the arc-shaped protrusions of the first elastic segment 121 and the second elastic segment 122 are relatively less prone to elastic deformation, then the first elastic segment 121 and the second elastic segment 122 are relatively prone to elastic deformation. The easier it is for elastic deformation to occur, the easier it is for the corresponding pin to be inserted into the insertion gap 113. This disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.
[0069] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the connection between the first elastic segment 121 and the first clamping segment 111 is arc-shaped, and the connection between the second elastic segment 122 and the second clamping segment 112 is arc-shaped.
[0070] In the above implementation, the transition between the first elastic segment 121 and the first clamping segment 111, as well as between the second elastic segment 122 and the second clamping segment 112, is smooth, which is beneficial to the transmission of force.
[0071] For example, the arcuate protrusion between the first elastic segment 121 and the first clamping segment 111 faces the second elastic segment 122, and the arcuate protrusion between the second elastic segment 122 and the second clamping segment 112 faces the first elastic segment 121.
[0072] This design allows for a smoother transition between the first elastic segment 121 and the first clamping segment 111, as well as between the second elastic segment 122 and the second clamping segment 112, effectively preventing interference and collisions between the pins during insertion into the mating gap 113.
[0073] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the connection between the first elastic segment 121 and the connecting segment 130 is arc-shaped, and the connection between the second elastic segment 122 and the connecting segment 130 is arc-shaped.
[0074] In the above implementation, a smooth transition can be achieved between the first elastic segment 121 and the connecting segment 130, as well as between the second elastic segment 122 and the connecting segment 130, which is beneficial for the transmission of force.
[0075] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the two opposing surfaces of the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112 are both relatively convex arc surfaces.
[0076] The two opposing surfaces of the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112 are the surfaces that directly contact the pins. Designing these two surfaces as curved surfaces facilitates the relative sliding of the pins with respect to the two surfaces during insertion and removal.
[0077] Furthermore, during the insertion and removal of the pins, the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112 will swing due to the elastic deformation of the first elastic segment 121 and the second elastic segment 122, and the swing trajectory is approximately circular. Therefore, the two opposing surfaces of the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112 are designed as relatively convex arc surfaces, so that these two surfaces roll on the pins as the pins are inserted and removed, thereby effectively increasing the total contact area between the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112 and the pins, thus spreading the wear of the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112 and improving the service life of the socket assembly.
[0078] In this embodiment, the distance between the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the pin, so that the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112 can apply a certain initial clamping force to the pin, so that the external force can be applied to the pin in the future to stably continue to insert into the gap between the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112.
[0079] See you again Figure 2 In this embodiment, the insert clip 10 further includes a first guide segment 141 and a second guide segment 142. Both the first guide segment 141 and the second guide segment 142 are located at the insertion port 114. One side of the first guide segment 141 is connected to the first clamping segment 111, and one side of the second guide segment 142 is connected to the second clamping segment 112. The side of the first guide segment 141 facing away from the first clamping segment 111 and the side of the second guide segment 142 facing away from the second clamping segment 112 extend away from each other.
[0080] For example, the arcuate extension direction of the first guide segment 141 is consistent with the arcuate extension direction of the first clamping segment 111. The arcuate extension direction of the second guide segment 142 is consistent with the arcuate extension direction of the second clamping segment 112.
[0081] In the above implementation, the first guide segment 141 and the second guide segment 142 are used to guide the pin from the socket 114 into the insertion gap 113 between the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112, thereby facilitating the insertion of the pin. Figure 2 Since the insertion port 114 is located on one side of the extension direction of the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112, that is, on the side of the extension direction of the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112, the first guide section 141 and the second guide section 142 are respectively located on the side of the extension direction of the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112, and the pin is inserted from the side of the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112.
[0082] The first guide segment 141 and the second guide segment 142 are arc-shaped in two directions. Taking the first guide segment 141 as an example, for the first direction of arc-shaped extension, the first guide segment 141 is arc-shaped along the arc-shaped extension direction of the first clamping segment 111. For the second direction of arc-shaped extension, the side of the first guide segment 141 facing away from the first clamping segment 111 extends in an arc shape facing away from the second guide segment 142. In this way, the distance between the side of the first guide segment 141 away from the first clamping segment 111 and the side of the second guide segment 142 away from the second clamping segment 112 is greater than the distance between the side of the first guide segment 141 connected to the first clamping segment 111 and the side of the second guide segment 142 connected to the second clamping segment 112, which is beneficial for pin insertion.
[0083] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, the insert clip 10 further includes a support section 160 and a mounting portion 170. One end of the support section 160 is connected to the connecting section 130, and the other end of the support section 160 is connected to the mounting portion 170. The insert assembly also includes a terminal block 20, and the mounting portion 170 is inserted into the terminal block 20.
[0084] In the above implementation, the terminal block 20 is connected to the insert clamp 10 through the mounting part 170, and the support section 160 is connected between the mounting part 170 and the connecting section 130. On the one hand, the support section 160 can increase the distance between the terminal block 20 and the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112 to avoid affecting the plug insertion. On the other hand, the support section 160 is only connected to the connecting section 130, so it will not affect the elastic deformation of the first elastic section 121 and the second elastic section 122.
[0085] For example, the mounting section 170 includes a first mounting section 171, a second mounting section 172, and a third mounting section 173 connected in sequence. The first mounting section 171 and the third mounting section 173 are opposite to each other, and the sidewall of the terminal 20 is inserted between the first mounting section 171 and the second mounting section 172.
[0086] In the above implementation, the U-shaped structure formed by the first mounting section 171, the second mounting section 172 and the third mounting section 173 can achieve clamping of the side wall of the terminal 20, thereby ensuring a stable assembly between the terminal 20 and the mounting part 170.
[0087] Figure 5 This is an assembly diagram of the plug-in assembly, combined with... Figure 5 In this embodiment, the terminal block 20 is assembled inside the rear cover 300. The terminal block 20 is a hollow frame structure, and its internal space is used to accommodate the wire. After the wire is inserted into the terminal block 20, tightening the screw 30 can press the wire against the mounting part 170 to achieve a stable electrical connection between the two.
[0088] See you again Figure 2 In this embodiment, the insert clip 10 further includes a first support protrusion 151 and a second support protrusion 152.
[0089] The first support protrusion 151 is located at the end of the first clamping segment 111 that is away from the first elastic segment 121 along the length direction and is connected to the first clamping segment 111. The second support protrusion 152 is located at the end of the second clamping segment 112 that is away from the second elastic segment 122 along the length direction and is connected to the second clamping segment 112. The second support protrusion 152 and the first support protrusion 151 are arranged at intervals relative to each other.
[0090] In the above implementation, the first clamping segment 111 and the first elastic segment 121 are considered as a whole, with one end supported by the support segment 160 connected to the connecting segment 130, and the other end supported by the first support protrusion 151. Similarly, the second clamping segment 112 and the second elastic segment 122 are considered as a whole, with one end supported by the support segment 160 connected to the connecting segment 130, and the other end supported by the second support protrusion 152. That is to say, the first support protrusion 151 and the second support protrusion 152 can effectively improve the assembly stability of the socket assembly within the socket.
[0091] See Figure 5 The inner wall of the back cover 300 has a support column 3100, and the first support protrusion 151 and the second support protrusion 152 both abut against the support column 3100. In this way, the support column 3100 can provide a stable support foundation for the first support protrusion 151 and the second support protrusion 152.
[0092] In this embodiment, the insert clamp 10 is an integral structural component, which not only effectively improves the manufacturing efficiency of the insert clamp 10, but also ensures the overall structural strength of the insert clamp 10.
[0093] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another type of socket clip, which is the socket clip for the ground socket assembly of a 10A socket and a 16A socket. Figure 3 The main difference between the shown insert clips lies in the position of the insertion port 114, which in turn causes the first guide section 141 and the second guide section 142 to be in different positions.
[0094] In this embodiment, the insertion port 114 is located at one end of the extension direction of the first clamping section 111 and the second clamping section 112.
[0095] exist Figure 6Since the insertion port 114 is located at one end of the extension direction of the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112, that is, at the end of the extension direction of the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112, the first guide segment 141 and the second guide segment 142 are respectively located at the end of the extension direction of the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112, and the pin is inserted from the end of the first clamping segment 111 and the second clamping segment 112.
[0096] Furthermore, since the insert clip is arranged vertically rather than horizontally, there is no need to provide a first support protrusion 151 and a second support protrusion 152. The remaining features are basically the same as... Figure 3 The insert clips shown are the same, so they will not be described again here.
[0097] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of another type of socket clip, which is a socket clip for the ground socket assembly of a 10A socket and a 16A socket, and it is related to... Figure 6 The main difference between the shown insert clips lies in the structure of the second elastic segment 122.
[0098] Combination Figure 7 In this embodiment, the first elastic segment 121 is arc-shaped, and the second elastic segment 122 has a hollow portion 123, which is elongated and the length direction of the hollow portion 123 is consistent with the length direction of the second elastic segment 122.
[0099] In the above implementation, by providing the hollow portion 123, the overall rigidity of the second elastic segment 122 can be reduced, thereby increasing the overall elasticity of the second elastic segment 122, which is beneficial for the second elastic segment 122 to produce elastic deformation. The first elastic segment 121 does not have the hollow portion 123 in order to ensure the overall structural strength of the insert clamp.
[0100] It is worth noting that, in order to ensure that the second elastic segment 122 still has high reliability after being hollowed out, the inner wall of the back cover 300 has a support strip (not shown in the figure). The length direction of the support strip is consistent with the length direction of the second elastic segment 122, and the second elastic segment 122 can fit onto the support strip after generating elastic deformation.
[0101] In addition, the remaining strip of material formed by the hollowed-out portion 123 is folded outward at one end near the connecting section 130 to form the mounting portion 170.
[0102] This effectively saves on material strips and reduces material costs.
[0103] In this embodiment, the connection between the connecting segment 130 and the first elastic segment 121 has a fixing protrusion 131. The fixing protrusion 131 and the mounting portion 170 are located on opposite sides of the connecting segment 130, and the fixing protrusion 131 is used to insert into the groove in the inner wall of the rear cover 300. In this way, the fixing protrusion 131 can cooperate with the mounting portion 170, thereby improving the installation stability of the insert clip in the rear cover 300.
