A power socket has a female connector with a slot or recess, which allows a power plug with a rod-shaped or copper plate-shaped protrusion to be inserted, so that power can be conducted to the appliance through the plug. There are many types of power sockets, and power sockets with overvoltage protection function are one of them.
[0003] A waterproof socket with authorization announcement number CN222563042U includes a socket plate. The socket plate is characterized by: a U-shaped plate fixedly fitted around its outer ring; a waterproof cover covering the upper end of the U-shaped plate; one end of the waterproof cover being rotatably connected to one end of the U-shaped plate; and the other end of the waterproof cover being fixedly connected to the other end of the U-shaped plate via a fastening assembly. A first wire-threading assembly and a second wire-threading assembly, structurally symmetrically arranged, are respectively provided on one end of the U-shaped plate and the waterproof cover. The beneficial effect of this utility model is that the first and second wire-threading assemblies facilitate the prevention of moisture ingress.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the waterproof cover and the U-shaped plate are fixedly connected by a fastening assembly. If the waterproof cover is damaged due to long-term use, aging, mechanical impact, or extreme environments, the entire waterproof cover and U-shaped plate must be replaced; it cannot be disassembled and repaired separately, thus increasing the user's operating costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] To reduce usage costs, this application provides a socket with a waterproof cover.
[0006] The socket with a waterproof cover provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A socket with a waterproof cover includes a socket plate, a U-shaped plate, and a waterproof cover. The U-shaped plate is connected to the socket plate, and the waterproof cover is rotatably connected to the U-shaped plate. The U-shaped plate is provided with a locking component, and the waterproof cover is detachably connected to the U-shaped plate through the locking component.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the waterproof cover is damaged, it can be removed from the U-shaped plate, which facilitates the replacement of the waterproof cover. When the waterproof cover is damaged, only the waterproof cover needs to be replaced, which reduces the cost of use and the waste of materials.
[0009] Optionally, both ends of the U-shaped plate are provided with connecting grooves. The locking assembly includes a first spring and a connecting rod disposed in the connecting groove. The length direction of the first spring is consistent with the length direction of the connecting groove. One end of the first spring is connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove, and the other end of the first spring is connected to the connecting rod. The connecting rod slides and engages with the inner wall of the connecting groove along the length direction of the connecting groove. Both ends of the waterproof cover are provided with rotating holes. Each of the connecting rods is rotatably connected to the rotating hole. When the connecting rod passes through the rotating hole, the first spring does not deform.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the connecting rod passes through the rotating hole and is rotatably connected to the waterproof cover. When replacing the waterproof cover, the connecting rod is pushed along the length of the connecting groove to move it away from the rotating hole, thus facilitating the removal of the waterproof cover from the U-shaped plate. When installing the waterproof cover, the connecting rod is pressed to embed it into the connecting groove, and the first spring is compressed and deformed, thus facilitating the movement of the waterproof cover closer to the U-shaped plate. When the connecting groove and the rotating hole are connected, the first spring returns to its shape and pushes the connecting rod to move. The first spring drives the connecting rod through the rotating hole, thus connecting the waterproof cover to the U-shaped plate, thus facilitating the replacement of the waterproof cover.
[0011] Optionally, a movable hole is provided on one side of the inner wall of the connecting groove, and a movable plate is connected to the connecting rod. The movable plate slides and engages with the inner wall of the movable hole, causing the connecting rod to move away from or closer to the rotating hole.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when disassembling the waterproof cover, the moving plate is moved, and the moving plate drives the connecting rod to move away from the rotating hole, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the waterproof cover and making the disassembly of the waterproof cover more convenient.
[0013] Optionally, the U-shaped plate is connected to a blocking element for preventing water from approaching the socket plate.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and adding a blocking component, the amount of water approaching the socket board is reduced, thereby improving safety during use.
[0015] Optionally, the blocking component is a retaining ring, which is connected to a U-shaped plate. The U-shaped plate is connected to a support plate, and a slot is formed between the support plate and the retaining ring. The waterproof cover is engaged with the U-shaped plate through the slot. When the waterproof cover is placed in the slot, the waterproof cover is in contact with the U-shaped plate.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the waterproof cover is snapped into the U-shaped plate through a slot, thereby making the waterproof cover stably connected to the U-shaped plate and reducing the gap between the U-shaped plate and the waterproof cover.
[0017] Optionally, a water guide plate is connected to the top of the U-shaped plate, which is used to direct water away from the gap between the waterproof cover and the U-shaped plate.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, water droplets fall onto the water guide plate and slide along it. The water guide plate directs the water away from the U-shaped plate, thereby minimizing the possibility of water approaching the gap between the U-shaped plate and the waterproof cover and passing through the gap to approach the socket plate, thus improving the safety during use.
[0019] Optionally, the water guide plate is rotatably connected to the top of the U-shaped plate. The U-shaped plate is connected to a first magnetic block, and the water guide plate is connected to a second magnetic block. When the water guide plate contacts the U-shaped plate, the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block attract each other. When the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block attract each other, the water guide plate guides the water away from the U-shaped plate.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the water guide plate is rotatably connected, thereby reducing the interference caused by the water guide plate to the waterproof cover when the waterproof cover rotates. In use, the water guide plate contacts the U-shaped plate, and the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block attract each other, so that the guide plate is stably connected to the U-shaped plate.
[0021] Optionally, a partition is connected to the top of the waterproof cover. When the waterproof cover rotates away from the socket plate and the partition contacts the U-shaped plate, the partition is used to guide water away from the U-shaped plate.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator needs to insert a plug into the socket board, the operator rotates the waterproof cover so that the waterproof cover is away from the U-shaped plate and one end of the partition is in contact with the U-shaped plate. When water drips to the top of the partition, the partition guides the water away from the U-shaped plate, thereby reducing the possibility of water approaching the gap between the U-shaped plate and the waterproof cover, and reducing the possibility of water entering the waterproof cover and approaching the socket board.
[0023] Optionally, the partition is connected to a third magnetic block, and the U-shaped plate is connected to a fourth magnetic block. When the partition is close to the U-shaped plate, the third magnetic block and the fourth magnetic block attract each other.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the partition is connected to the U-shaped plate through the third and fourth magnetic blocks, so that when the operator inserts the plug into the socket plate, the partition and the waterproof cover are stably connected to the U-shaped plate, which facilitates the operator's operation.
[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0026] 1. When the waterproof cover is damaged, remove it from the U-shaped plate to facilitate replacement. When the waterproof cover is damaged, only the waterproof cover needs to be replaced, which reduces the cost of use and the waste of materials.
[0027] 2. When in use, the connecting rod passes through the rotating hole and is rotatably connected to the waterproof cover. When replacing the waterproof cover, push the connecting rod along the length of the connecting groove so that the connecting rod moves away from the rotating hole, thereby facilitating the removal of the waterproof cover from the U-shaped plate.
[0028] 3. When disassembling the waterproof cover, move the movable plate. The movable plate will move the connecting rod, so that the connecting rod is away from the rotating hole, which will facilitate the disassembly of the waterproof cover and make the disassembly of the waterproof cover more convenient.

Detailed Implementation
[0038] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-8 This application will be described in further detail.
[0039] This application discloses a socket with a waterproof cover. (See also...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A socket with a waterproof cover includes a socket plate 100, a U-shaped plate 200, a waterproof cover 300, a water guide plate 400, and a locking assembly 500. The U-shaped plate 200 is connected to one side of the socket plate 100, and the top of the waterproof cover 300 is rotatably connected to the top of the U-shaped plate 200. The water guide plate 400 is connected to the top of the U-shaped plate 200 and is used to guide water away from the U-shaped plate 200. The locking assembly 500 is located at the top of the U-shaped plate 200, and the waterproof cover 300 is detachably connected to the U-shaped plate 200 via the locking assembly 500. Because the waterproof cover 300 is detachably connected to the U-shaped plate 200, if the waterproof cover 300 is damaged, only the waterproof cover 300 needs to be replaced, thereby reducing costs.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The top of the U-shaped plate 200 is provided with a first inclined surface 210, which is located at the end of the U-shaped plate 200 near the waterproof cover 300 and is inclined downward at the end near the waterproof cover 300. The length direction of the water guide plate 400 is consistent with the width direction of the U-shaped plate 200. One end of the water guide plate 400 is rotatably connected to the top of the U-shaped plate 200 along its width direction, and the other end of the water guide plate 400 is in contact with the first inclined surface 210.
[0041] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The U-shaped plate 200 is embedded with a first magnetic block 220, and the bottom of the water guide plate 400 is embedded with a second magnetic block 410. When the water guide plate 400 contacts the first inclined surface 210, the first magnetic block 220 and the second magnetic block 410 attract each other.
[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A mounting block 230 is connected to the top of the U-shaped plate 200. The length direction of the mounting block 230 is consistent with the width direction of the U-shaped plate 200. Connecting grooves 240 are provided at both ends of the mounting block 230 along its length direction. The length direction of the connecting grooves 240 is consistent with the length direction of the mounting block 230. Two locking components 500 are provided, each connected to a connecting groove 240.
[0043] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 The locking assembly 500 includes a first spring 510 and a connecting rod 520. The length direction of the first spring 510 is consistent with the length direction of the connecting groove 240. One end of the first spring 510 is connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 240, and the other end of the first spring 510 is connected to the connecting rod 520. The connecting rod 520 slides along the length direction of the connecting groove 240 and engages with the inner wall of the connecting groove 240.
[0044] Reference Figure 7 A movable hole 241 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the connecting groove 240. The length direction of the movable hole 241 is consistent with the length direction of the mounting block 230. The connecting rod 520 is connected to a movable plate 521. The movable plate 521 passes through the movable hole 241 and slides along the length direction of the mounting block 230 to fit against the inner wall of the movable hole 241.
[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 The waterproof cover 300 has a partition 310 connected to its top. The length of the partition 310 is aligned with the width of the U-shaped plate 200. Two ear plates 320 are connected to the partition 310, spaced apart along its length. The two ear plates 320 are located on opposite sides of the mounting block 230 along its length. Each ear plate 320 has a rotating hole 321, the depth of which is aligned with the length of the mounting block 230. Each connecting rod 520 passes through and is rotatably connected to the rotating hole 321. A second inclined surface 312 is provided at the end of the partition 310 away from the ear plates 320. When the partition 310 and the U-shaped plate 200 are parallel, the bottom of the second inclined surface 312 is tilted towards the side closer to the U-shaped plate 200. When removing the waterproof cover 300, the moving plate 521 is moved, thereby moving the connecting rods 520 away from the rotating hole 321, facilitating the removal of the ear plates 320 from the mounting block 230 and making it easier to replace the waterproof cover 300.
[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 One end of the partition 310 is connected to the waterproof cover 300 along its width. A third magnet 311 is embedded in the other end of the partition 310 away from the waterproof cover 300. A fourth magnet 250 is embedded in the end of the U-shaped plate 200 near the waterproof cover 300. When the end of the partition 310 away from the waterproof cover 300 is close to the U-shaped plate 200, the third magnet 311 and the fourth magnet 250 attract each other. When the operator inserts a plug into the socket plate 100, the third magnet 311 and the fourth magnet 250 attract each other, thus ensuring that the waterproof cover 300 is stably connected to the U-shaped plate 200, thereby reducing interference caused by the waterproof cover 300 during operation.
[0047] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8 The U-shaped plate 200 is connected to a blocking element, which is a retaining ring 260, a square ring. The retaining ring 260 is connected to the U-shaped plate 200. Support plates 270 are provided on both sides of the retaining ring 260 along the width direction of the U-shaped plate 200, and the length direction of the support plates 270 is consistent with the length direction of the U-shaped plate 200. The support plates 270 and the retaining ring 260 are spaced apart along one side of the width direction of the U-shaped plate 200, forming a slot 280 between them. A rubber layer 281 is connected to the inner wall of the slot 280, and the rubber layer 281 contacts the waterproof cover 300.
[0048] The implementation principle of a socket with a waterproof cover according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: In use, the waterproof cover 300 is embedded in the slot 280, and the rubber layer 281 abuts against the waterproof cover 300. When replacing the waterproof cover 300, the moving plate 521 is moved along the length of the mounting block 230, causing the moving plate 521 to move the connecting rod 520 along the length of the mounting block 230, and causing the connecting rod 520 to be embedded in the connecting groove 240, thus moving the connecting rod 520 away from the rotating hole 321. This facilitates the removal of the ear plate 320 from the mounting block 230, thereby facilitating the removal of the waterproof cover 300 from the U-shaped plate 200. When installing a new waterproof cover 300, the moving plate 521 is moved, causing the connecting rod 520 to be embedded in the connecting groove 240, and the connecting groove 240 compresses the first spring 510, causing the first spring 510 to deform, thereby facilitating the proximity of the ear plate 320 to the mounting block 230. When the rotating hole 321 is connected to the connecting groove 240, the operator releases the moving plate 521. The first spring 510 returns to its shape and pushes the connecting rod 520 along the length of the mounting block 230, allowing the connecting rod 520 to pass through the rotating hole 321, thus completing the installation of the waterproof cover 300. The waterproof cover 300 is detachably connected to the U-shaped plate 200, which facilitates the replacement of the waterproof cover 300, reduces usage costs, and minimizes material waste.
[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
