Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of three-pin socket technology, and in particular to an embedded three-pin socket. Background Technology

[0002] An embedded triangular-tail socket is an electrical connector used to secure and connect wires. It features a unique triangular tail design that provides better mechanical strength and electrical contact. The embedded design means that the socket can be installed inside devices, such as walls, panels, or within the device itself, making the connection neater and more concealed.

[0003] Existing recessed three-pin sockets allow users to manually rotate the cover plate upwards around the pin shaft to open it, exposing the slot. This allows the plug to be inserted into the two first and second terminals within the slot. Without any additional securing device, the opening angle of the cover plate is primarily controlled by the user. Once open, the cover plate remains open due to its own weight or slight obstruction from the plug insertion. After use, the user can manually rotate the cover plate downwards to close it, covering the slot. In its normal placement, the cover plate naturally droops under its own weight, covering the slot. Its main protective function is to prevent larger foreign objects, such as dust particles and small fibers, from directly entering the slot. However, because the cover plate and socket body are only connected by a pin shaft, existing recessed three-pin sockets may pose safety risks in certain usage scenarios. For example, in environments with children or pets, children or pets could easily open the cover plate and come into contact with the live slot, increasing the risk of electric shock.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of recessed triangular socket to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an embedded three-pin socket.

[0006] The present invention provides an embedded three-pin socket, which includes a socket body and a cover plate. The cover plate is rotatably connected to one side wall of the socket body through two connecting plates, and both ends of the cover plate are fixedly connected to a fixing device.

[0007] The fixing device includes a fixing frame, a driving block, a limiting plate, and a limiting component. The fixing frame is fixedly connected to one end of the cover plate. The driving block is slidably connected to the inner wall of a through hole on one side wall of the fixing frame, and both sides of the driving block away from the fixing frame are inclined. Two limiting frames are slidably connected to both sides of the driving block away from the fixing frame. An elastic element is fixedly connected to the end of each limiting frame away from the driving block. The end of the elastic element away from the limiting frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame. The limiting plate is fixedly connected to one side wall of the socket body, and several limiting grooves are opened at both ends of one side of the limiting plate. The two limiting frames are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two limiting grooves opened on the limiting plate.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting component includes a slider and a limiting strip. The slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of a groove opened on one side of the fixed frame. One end of the limiting strip is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider, and the end of the limiting strip away from the slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of a groove opened on the driving block.

[0009] Preferably, a slot is provided at one end of the socket body near the cover plate, and a first plug-in terminal and two second plug-in terminals are respectively installed on the inner wall of the slot.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic element is a compression spring, which is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting frame away from the driving block, and the end of the compression spring away from the limiting frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame.

[0011] Preferably, the socket body is made of plastic material, and the first plug terminal and the two second plug terminals are made of conductive metal material.

[0012] Preferably, a switch is provided on one side wall of the socket body.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the embedded three-pin socket provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] With the included fixing device, after using the socket body, the user can first manually rotate the cover downwards to close it. During the closing process, the slider and limit strip are moved out of the groove on the drive block. Then, by pressing the drive block, the two limit brackets are moved closer to the fixing frame. When the cover is completely closed, the drive block is released, and the drive block and the two limit brackets will return to their original positions under the action of the compression spring. Then, the limit strip will re-limit the drive block. This device reduces the probability that children and pets may easily open the cover and come into contact with the live socket, thus reducing the risk of electric shock. Attached Figure Description
