Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of terminals, and more specifically, to a socket. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable electrical device in daily life, sockets are widely used in homes, offices, and industrial environments. Their main function is to provide a power interface for electrical appliances, allowing them to be easily connected to a power source. Common socket types include two-prong sockets (two-prong) and three-prong sockets (three-prong), used for connecting two-prong and three-prong plugs, respectively. With the diversification of electrical appliances, socket designs are constantly being improved to meet users' needs for safety, convenience, and durability.

[0003] However, existing sockets have certain limitations in terms of sealing, especially when used outdoors or in humid environments, where the sealing performance directly affects electrical safety. While some waterproof sockets on the market can prevent moisture ingress to a certain extent, their sealing designs typically only provide effective protection for specific types of plugs (such as two-prong or three-prong plugs), and cannot achieve a good seal for both types simultaneously. For example, when using a two-prong plug, unused prongs in a three-prong socket may still be exposed, allowing moisture or dust to easily enter the socket, affecting its safety and lifespan. Similarly, when using a three-prong plug, some sealing structures may not completely cover all parts of the plug, resulting in an unsatisfactory seal.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of socket sealing structure that can be compatible with both two-prong and three-prong plugs and provide sealing protection to meet usage requirements. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a socket that is compatible with two-prong and three-prong plugs and provides sealed protection.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a socket, comprising a socket body, an outer panel on the socket body, and a power supply socket hole formed on the outer panel, characterized in that: it includes a fixing block, a sealing edge protruding from the socket body, a sealing cover rotatably disposed on the sealing edge, the sealing cover and the sealing edge forming a sealing cavity, a locking member for fixing the sealing cover on the socket body, a wire-passing gap formed on the sealing cover, the fixing block sliding and engaging within the wire-passing gap, and when the fixing block is engaged within the wire-passing gap, a wire-passing hole is formed between the sealing cover and the fixing block, and a sealing rubber is disposed within the wire-passing hole.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the two ends of the fixing block form limiting edges, the sealing cover is provided with a limiting groove located in the wire passage gap, the limiting edges slide in the limiting groove, the fixing block is slidably provided with a locking block, the locking block is provided with two sets, and the fixing block is provided with a sliding rod connecting the locking block, and a sliding spring is sleeved on the sliding rod.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the card block is provided with a guide surface, and the recess on the sealing cover engages with the card block in a locking recess.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a first inclined surface is formed on the socket body, and a sealing inclined surface is formed on one movable end of the sealing cover to cooperate with it.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a rotating shaft is provided on the sealing cover and rotates on the sealing edge; a locking groove is provided on the sealing edge; the rotating shaft extends into the locking groove; a plug-in block is provided in the locking groove and is inserted into the rotating shaft; the plug-in block is polygonal; and the locking groove includes a limiting section and a rotating section; the limiting section is a polygonal groove that cooperates with the plug-in block.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: a sealing sheet is provided on the socket body, the sealing sheet is provided at the rotatable connection between the sealing cover and the socket body and covers the rotatable gap.

[0012] This invention has the following advantages: it successfully solves the sealing problem of existing sockets that cannot simultaneously accommodate two-prong and three-prong plugs, achieving highly efficient waterproof and dustproof functions. Its automatic plug-adaptive design not only improves ease of use but also significantly enhances the socket's safety and durability in humid and dusty environments. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.

[0022] A socket includes a socket body 1, an outer panel on which a power supply socket is formed, a fixing block 3, a sealing edge 12 protruding from the socket body 1, a sealing cover 2 rotatably mounted on the sealing edge 12, the sealing cover 2 and the sealing edge 12 forming a sealing cavity, a locking member on the socket body 1 for fixing the sealing cover 2, a wire passage gap 34 formed on the sealing cover 2, and the fixing block 3 sliding and engaging within the wire passage gap 34. When the plug is engaged in the wire passage gap 34, a wire passage hole 36 is formed between the sealing cover 2 and the fixing block 3. A sealing rubber is provided in the wire passage hole 36. The sealing cover 2 rotates on the socket body 1. At the same time, the wire passage gap 34 formed on the sealing cover 2 allows the wire to pass through the wire passage gap 34 when the plug is inserted into the socket body 1, so that the sealing cover 2 can protect the plug. At the same time, the sealing rubber is provided. Due to its flexibility, it can fit tightly against the wire to ensure a seal, so that foreign objects will not enter the sealing cavity from the wire passage gap 34.

[0023] The fixing block 3 has limiting edges 31 at both ends. The sealing cover 2 has a limiting groove 21 located in the wire passage gap 34. The limiting edges 31 slide in the limiting groove 21. The fixing block 3 has a locking block 32 that slides on it. There are two sets of locking blocks 32. The fixing block 3 has a sliding rod 33 that connects to the locking blocks 32. A sliding spring is sleeved on the sliding rod 33. When the sealing cover 2 is closed, the fixing block 3 can slide and fit into the wire passage gap 34. A wire passage hole 36 is formed between the fixing block 3 and the sealing cover 2. This is used when using a two-prong plug. When using a three-prong plug, the fixing block 3 is removed for use.

[0024] The locking block 32 is provided with a guide surface, and the recess on the sealing cover 2 cooperates with the locking block 32 to engage with the locking recess 22. The locking block 32 and the locking recess 22 cooperate to lock the fixing block 3.

[0025] The socket body 1 has a first inclined surface, and the movable end of the sealing cover 2 has a matching sealing inclined surface 37, resulting in better sealing performance.

[0026] The sealing cover 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 41 that rotates on the sealing edge 12. The rotating shaft 41 can control the rotation of the sealing cover 2. The sealing edge 12 is provided with a locking groove. The locking groove includes a limiting section 43 and a rotating section 4442. The rotating shaft 41 extends into the locking groove. The locking groove is provided with a plug-in block 4 that is inserted into the rotating shaft 41. The plug-in block 4 is partially polygonal. The limiting section 43 is a polygonal groove that cooperates with the plug-in block 4. When in use, the plug-in block 4 is first pulled outward to rotate, and then inserted back into the locking groove to fix it.

[0027] A sealing sheet is provided on the socket body 1. The sealing sheet is located at the rotatable connection between the sealing cover 2 and the socket body 1 and covers the rotatable gap; it can enhance the sealing performance.

[0028] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
