Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, specifically to a socket with infrared insertion and removal detection function. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional power outlets present numerous problems during use, causing significant inconvenience to users and posing potential safety hazards. According to relevant surveys, approximately 50% of device malfunctions in everyday electricity use are due to unstable plug connections. Because traditional outlets cannot provide real-time feedback on whether a plug is fully inserted or accidentally pulled out, it is common for loose plugs to go unnoticed when important electronic devices are charging or running. For example, in hospitals' medical monitoring equipment and in companies' servers, a loose plug causing a power outage can not only disrupt normal operation but also lead to data loss, equipment damage, and even endanger lives and cause significant economic losses.

[0003] Furthermore, existing sockets have extremely limited functionality. Regarding status display, users can only indirectly determine whether the socket is powered by observing the operation of electrical appliances, lacking a clear visual indicator, which is particularly inconvenient in dimly lit environments. Simultaneously, when a socket experiences overload, short circuit, or other malfunctions, it fails to promptly alert the user, making it difficult for them to take timely action and increasing the risk of electrical fires and other safety accidents.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a socket with infrared insertion and removal detection function. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a socket with infrared plug-in / plug-out detection function, which can accurately detect the plug-in / plug-out status, thereby improving the safety and convenience of socket use.

The bottom shell and the top cover form a cavity for mounting the socket module. The socket module includes an insulating base, a live wire module, a neutral wire module, and a ground wire module. The live wire module, neutral wire module, and ground wire module are all mounted on the insulating base, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom shell. The socket module is provided with an infrared insertion / removal detection device, which includes an infrared PCB board, an infrared emitting tube, and an infrared receiving tube. The infrared PCB board is mounted on the socket module. An infrared emitting tube is mounted on one side of the infrared PCB board, and an infrared receiving tube is mounted on the other side of the infrared PCB board. The infrared emitting tube, the infrared receiving tube, and the socket module's insertion hole are aligned in a straight line.

[0008] Furthermore, a socket base plate is provided on the bottom shell, and the insulating seat is installed on the socket base plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a digital tube PCB board is installed on the upper cover, and a display section is provided at the front of the digital tube PCB board. The display section is provided with a power display section, a working status indicator section and a parameter display section.

[0010] Furthermore, a light guide post is installed on the upper cover, and a fault warning part is provided on the light guide post.

[0011] Furthermore, a speaker is installed on the top cover.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0032] See Figure 1-7A socket with infrared insertion / removal detection function includes a bottom shell 1, a top cover 2, and a socket module 3. The bottom shell 1 and the top cover 2 form a cavity 4 for mounting the socket module 3. The socket module 3 includes an insulating base 31, a live wire module, a neutral wire module, and a ground wire module. The live wire module, neutral wire module, and ground wire module are all mounted on the insulating base 31, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom shell 1. The insulating base 31 is made of high-strength, high-insulation engineering plastic, and its shape is rectangular. The surface is frosted to increase friction with other components. The live wire module, neutral wire module, and ground wire module are all fixedly mounted on the insulating base 31 with bolts. The tightening torque of the bolts has been rigorously tested to ensure a firm and reliable connection and prevent poor contact caused by loosening. At the same time, the layout of these three modules on the insulating base 31 is optimized to maintain safe electrical clearances and creepage distances between them, effectively avoiding the risk of electrical short circuits.

[0033] The insulating base 31 is precisely fitted to the positioning holes on the bottom shell 1 by the positioning pins at its four corners, and then fixed to the bottom shell 1 with self-tapping screws. This installation method not only ensures the installation accuracy of the insulating base 31 on the bottom shell 1, but also enhances the stability of the overall structure, enabling the socket to withstand certain external impacts without displacement or damage during long-term use.

[0034] The socket module 3 is equipped with an infrared insertion / removal detection device 5, which includes an infrared PCB board 51, an infrared emitting tube 52, and an infrared receiving tube 53. The infrared PCB board 51 is mounted on the socket module 3. The infrared emitting tube 52 is mounted on one side of the infrared PCB board 51, and the infrared receiving tube 53 is mounted on the other side. The infrared emitting tube 52, the infrared receiving tube 53, and the socket hole of the socket module 3 are aligned in a straight line. When the plug is inserted into the socket hole, it blocks the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitting tube 52, and the infrared receiving tube 53 cannot receive the infrared signal, thus determining that the plug is inserted. When the plug is removed, the infrared receiving tube 53 can receive the infrared signal, thus determining that the plug has been removed.

[0035] Furthermore, a socket base plate 32 is provided on the bottom shell 1. The socket base plate 32 is used to install the insulating base 31, making the installation of the socket module 3 more stable.

[0036] Furthermore, a digital tube PCB board 6 is mounted on the upper cover 2. The front of the digital tube PCB board 6 has a display section 7, which includes a power display section, a working status indicator section, and a parameter display section. The power display section can display the socket's power consumption in real time; the working status indicator section can intuitively display the socket's current working status, such as whether it is powered on or off; the parameter display section can display relevant parameters such as voltage and current, making it convenient for users to understand the socket's working status.

[0037] Furthermore, a light guide post 8 is installed on the upper cover 2, and a fault warning section is provided on the light guide post 8. When the socket malfunctions, the fault warning section can emit light through the light guide post 8 to promptly remind the user and avoid safety accidents.

[0038] Furthermore, a speaker 9 is installed on the top cover 2. The speaker 9 can emit an audible alert when the plug is plugged in or unplugged or when a malfunction occurs, further enhancing the warning effect, especially suitable for scenarios where users cannot visually monitor the status of the socket in a timely manner.

[0039] Furthermore, the top of the socket module 3 is equipped with a waterproof silicone pad 33 for the socket holes, effectively preventing moisture from entering the socket from the holes, improving the socket's waterproof performance, extending its service life, and ensuring safe use. Specifically, the waterproof silicone pad is made of highly elastic, aging-resistant silicone material and fits tightly around the socket holes. When water droplets or liquids splash onto the socket surface, the waterproof silicone pad uses its elasticity and sealing properties to prevent moisture from entering the socket holes and electrical components inside the socket. The surface of the silicone pad has a certain degree of hydrophobicity, allowing water droplets to form beads and roll off without penetrating beneath the silicone pad. Even when the socket is in a humid environment for a long time, the waterproof silicone pad can effectively prevent moisture intrusion, reducing the risk of short circuits and other malfunctions caused by moisture intrusion, thereby protecting the electrical components inside the socket and extending its service life.

[0040] Furthermore, the bottom shell 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 10 evenly distributed on it, and the top cover 2 is provided with mounting posts 11 that match the mounting holes. The mounting holes 10 and the mounting posts 11 cooperate to facilitate the installation and fixation of the bottom shell 1 and the top cover 2, making the overall structure of the socket more robust.

[0041] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
