The fixing mechanism is provided inside the fixing block and forms a fixed state between the locking block and the fixing block in the closed state.
[0004] The existing sockets require the protective cover to be opened during use, exposing the socket. Rainwater can easily enter the socket through the socket, causing leakage and posing a safety hazard. Therefore, this does not meet the current requirements, and a rainproof and leakage-proof socket is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rainproof and leakage-proof socket to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when using existing sockets, the protective cover needs to be opened to expose the socket, allowing rainwater to easily enter the socket and cause leakage, thus posing a safety hazard.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rainproof and leakage-proof socket, comprising: a socket housing, an leakage-proof shielding chamber installed inside the socket housing, a shielding chamber cover installed above the leakage-proof shielding chamber, a copper strip assembly installed between the shielding chamber cover and the leakage-proof shielding chamber, a shielding assembly for shielding the socket and the leakage-proof shielding chamber respectively installed inside the socket housing, and a switch assembly installed at one end of the socket housing.
[0007] Preferably, the shielding assembly includes an inner shielding copper sheet installed on the lower surface of the shielding chamber cover, and the shielding assembly also includes a socket shielding copper sheet installed at the socket position.
[0008] Preferably, the inside of the shielding compartment cover is equipped with a socket safety door, and safety door springs are installed on both sides of the socket safety door. The socket shielding copper sheet is located above the socket safety door.
[0009] Preferably, the copper strip assembly includes a neutral copper strip, a live copper strip, and a ground copper strip, and the copper sheet of the shielding assembly is connected to the neutral copper strip.
[0010] Preferably, the surfaces of the live wire copper strip and the ground wire copper strip are provided with a waterproof coating layer.
[0011] Preferably, the socket housing includes a bottom cover at the bottom and a front cover mounted on the bottom cover.
[0012] Preferably, the switch assembly includes a power-off switch, one end of which is provided with a power cord, a switch shielding cover is installed at the bottom of the power-off switch, and a flexible sealing element is fitted on the outer wall of the power-off switch.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] (1) In this utility model, the socket is equipped with a combination of a leakage protection shielding chamber and a shielding chamber cover to improve the internal leakage protection shielding effect. On this basis, the shielding copper sheet inside the chamber and the shielding copper sheet at the socket are added to shield the two positions inside the chamber and the socket respectively, effectively improving the internal rainproof and leakage protection effect. Specifically, when the socket is accidentally flooded, the live wire socket will conduct or leak voltage and current to the surrounding water area using the conductivity of water. When the charged water conducts or leaks current and voltage to the outside, the charged water will do work with the neutral wire shielding component set above the live wire socket. At this time, the shielding component will capture or consume the charge conducted to the surrounding area by the live wire socket after being soaked in water. The shielding core component conducts or leaks voltage and current to the surrounding water area.
[0015] (2) In this utility model, a flexible sealing element is provided at the power-off switch to improve the waterproofness of the switch button position and prevent water from entering the button. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a rainproof and leakage-proof socket, comprising: a socket housing 1, the socket housing 1 including a bottom cover 101 at the bottom, and a front cover 102 mounted on the bottom cover 101. The bottom cover 101 and the front cover 102 provide a detachable structure and protect internal components. A leakage-proof shielding compartment 2 is installed inside the socket housing 1, and a shielding compartment cover 5 is installed above the leakage-proof shielding compartment 2. A copper strip assembly 3 is installed between the shielding compartment cover 5 and the leakage-proof shielding compartment 2. Shielding components 4 are also installed inside the socket housing 1 for shielding the socket and the leakage-proof shielding compartment 2 respectively. The shielding assembly 4 includes an inner shielding copper sheet 401 installed on the lower surface of the shielding cover 5. The shielding assembly 4 also includes a socket shielding copper sheet 402 installed at the socket socket position. A socket safety door 502 is installed inside the shielding cover 5. Safety door springs 501 are installed on both sides of the socket safety door 502. The socket shielding copper sheet 402 is located above the socket safety door 502. The socket is equipped with a leakage protection shielding compartment 2 and a shielding cover 5 to improve the internal leakage protection shielding effect. On this basis, the inner shielding copper sheet 401 and the socket shielding copper sheet 402 are added to shield the two positions inside the compartment and the socket respectively, effectively improving the internal rainproof and leakage protection effect.
[0023] Specifically, when the socket is accidentally flooded, the live wire socket will use the conductivity of water to conduct or leak voltage and current to the surrounding water. When the charged water conducts or leaks current and voltage outward, the charged water will do work with the neutral wire shielding component 4 located above the live wire socket. At this time, the shielding component 4 will promptly capture or consume the charge conducted to the surrounding water by the live wire socket after being submerged in water, and shield the voltage and current value conducted or leaked by the live wire socket to the surrounding water.

The copper sheet of the shielding assembly 4 is connected to the neutral copper strip 301. The live copper strip 302 and the ground copper strip 303 are provided with a waterproof coating. By connecting the copper sheet of the shielding assembly 4 to the neutral copper strip 301, leakage current can be diverted to the neutral wire to avoid short circuits in the socket. The live and ground wires inside the socket are coated with rubber to prevent direct contact with water, thereby improving waterproofness and enhancing safety.
