Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, and in particular to an industrial interlocking socket. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of industrial electrical systems, interlocking sockets, as an important electrical connection device, are widely used in various occasions requiring safe and reliable electrical connections. While traditional interlocking sockets meet electrical connection requirements to a certain extent, their structural design and functionality still suffer from drawbacks such as complex interlocking mechanisms, inconvenient operation, and susceptibility to damage. Furthermore, some sockets have poor sealing performance, making them susceptible to interference from external environments such as dust and moisture, leading to unstable or failed electrical connections. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an industrial interlocking socket with a compact structure, reliable interlocking mechanism, low manufacturing cost, and easy maintenance and installation.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs an industrial interlocking socket, comprising a housing, a knob assembly mounted on the housing, an interlocking seat within the housing, a selector switch mounted on the interlocking seat, a groove at one end of the interlocking seat, a push rod within the groove, a spring embedded in the push rod, a sliding groove at the bottom of the interlocking seat, a sliding plate within the sliding groove, one end of the sliding plate being inserted into the sliding groove, and the other end having a limiting groove at the position where the groove is located on the interlocking seat, one end of the push rod extending into the groove of the interlocking seat and engaging with the limiting groove on the sliding plate, and the other end of the push rod extending out to the interlocking seat. Outside the lock seat, the interlock seat has a gear groove at one end corresponding to the slide plate, and a gear is installed in the gear groove. The gear is located at the lower end of the slide plate, and one end of the gear is meshed with an interlock rod installed on the housing. The end of the gear corresponding to the slide plate has a gear shaft, and the slide plate has a waist-shaped groove at the position corresponding to the gear shaft. The gear shaft is inserted into the waist-shaped groove and has a through groove. A transmission rod is inserted into the through groove. The interlock seat has an opening at the position corresponding to the transmission rod, and the changeover switch has a transmission groove corresponding to the opening. The transmission rod passes through the opening on the interlock seat and the transmission groove on the changeover switch in sequence and is located in the knob assembly.
[0005] The beneficial effects of the above structure are as follows: by opening grooves and setting push rods on the interlocking seat, and by cooperating the sliding plate and the limiting groove, and meshing the gear and the interlocking rod, a socket with a compact structure and an extremely reliable interlocking mechanism is formed. This not only significantly simplifies the complex structure of traditional interlocking sockets and reduces manufacturing costs, but also greatly improves the stability and durability of the interlock, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the socket in various environments. The transmission rod, as a key transmission component, precisely connects the knob assembly with the gear and the changeover switch in the interlocking seat, forming a stable and efficient transmission path. This ensures that when the user operates the knob, the interlocking mechanism can be triggered quickly and accurately to realize the locking or unlocking function of the socket. In addition, it also supports the power-off plugging and unplugging function.
[0006] This utility model is further configured such that the housing includes a base and a top cover disposed on the base, wherein a knob assembly is mounted on the end of the top cover away from the base. By dividing the housing into two parts, the base and the top cover, a modular design is achieved, which not only simplifies the production process and improves assembly efficiency, but also makes the socket more convenient to maintain.
[0007] This utility model is further configured as a knob assembly including a knob seat disposed within an upper cover and a knob mounted on the knob seat. The knob is located on the outside of the upper cover. A sealing ring fitted onto the knob seat is provided between the knob and the knob seat. The knob seat has a slot corresponding to the transmission groove of the selector switch. The transmission rod is located within the knob seat through the opening, transmission groove, and slot in sequence. A cylindrical pin with a transverse penetration is provided within the knob seat on the transmission rod. By providing a sealing ring between the knob and the knob seat, moisture, dust, and other impurities can be effectively prevented from entering the socket through the gap between the knob and the knob seat. The transmission rod is located within the knob seat through the opening, transmission groove, and slot in sequence, and cooperates with the cylindrical pin within the knob seat to form a stable transmission structure. This not only ensures the precise movement of the transmission rod during knob operation but also improves the efficiency and stability of the transmission. The addition of the cylindrical pin not only plays a transmission role but also enhances the connection strength between the knob seat and the transmission rod.
[0008] This utility model is further configured with a frame installed inside the top cover at the connection between the base and the top cover. The installation of the frame provides additional support for the connection between the base and the top cover, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the entire socket. The frame can also act as a sealing barrier, fitting tightly with the base and the top cover to reduce gaps and prevent moisture, dust, and other impurities from entering the socket.
[0009] This utility model is further configured with a tubular frame. Compared to other frame shapes, the tubular frame has higher structural strength, effectively dispersing and resisting external impact forces, preventing damage to the socket during use. The tubular frame fits more tightly with the base and top cover, helping to reduce gaps and prevent moisture, dust, and other impurities from entering the socket. Attached Figure Description
