Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, and in particular to a socket and its socket installation structure. Background Technology
[0002] A socket insert is a component in a receptacle used to engage with the pins of a plug to establish electrical conductivity. During use, due to prolonged equipment use, mechanical vibration, or human movement, the spring-loaded side of the insert can easily undergo plastic deformation, failing to return to its original position. The insert loses its gripping force on the plug, causing it to loosen or become exposed, resulting in poor contact, insufficient current, and other problems. This can damage electrical appliances and even pose electrical risks such as electric shock and fire. Utility Model Content

[0005] The insert is located inside the rear cover. Both ends of the insert are provided with pin clamping portions. The pin clamping portion includes a first clamping section and a second clamping section. The second clamping section is formed by bending the end of the first clamping section toward itself.
[0006] The rear cover is provided with a support member at the position corresponding to the first clamping section, and the support member abuts against the outer wall of the first clamping section; the rear cover is provided with a reset elastic member at the position corresponding to the second clamping section, and the reset elastic member abuts against the outer wall of the second clamping section.
[0007] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the reset elastic element includes a fixing part, a first bending section, and a second bending section;
[0008] The fixing part is fixed to the rear cover. The end of the fixing part is bent toward the second clamping section to form the first bent section. The first bent section is bent away from the second clamping section to form the second bent section. The connection between the first bent section and the second bent section abuts against the second clamping section.
[0009] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a clearance hole is formed along the first and second bending sections at the orthogonal projection of the back cover.
[0010] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the connection between the first bending segment and the second bending segment is opposite to the second clamping segment.
[0011] As an improvement to the above technical solution, both the outer walls of the first clamping section and the second clamping section are provided with abutment portions.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a front view of a socket mounting structure according to an embodiment of this utility model;
[0019] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Enlarged view of point A in the image. Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] See Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a socket sleeve installation structure, including a socket back cover 1 and a sleeve 2.
[0022] This utility model embodiment improves the structure of the pin clamping parts 21 at both ends of the sleeve 2 to solve the problem that the sleeve 2 is prone to elastic deformation after long-term use.
[0023] Specifically, the insert 2 is located inside the rear cover 1, and both ends of the insert 2 are provided with pin clamping portions 21. The pin clamping portion 21 includes a first clamping section 22 and a second clamping section 23. The second clamping section 23 is formed by bending the end of the first clamping section 22 toward itself.
[0024] The rear cover 1 is provided with a support member 11 at the position corresponding to the first clamping section 22, and the support member 11 abuts against the outer wall of the first clamping section 22; the rear cover 1 is provided with a reset elastic member 3 at the position corresponding to the second clamping section 23, and the reset elastic member 3 abuts against the outer wall of the second clamping section 23.
[0025] During operation, the plug is inserted into the socket 2, and the first clamping section 22 and the second clamping section 23 form a clamping space to clamp the plug. At this time, the first clamping section 22 and the second clamping section 23 strengthen the clamping of the plug under the abutment of the support member 24 and the reset elastic member 3. When the plug is pulled out, the second clamping section 23 deforms away from the first clamping section 22 under external force. At this time, under the pressure of the reset elastic member 3, the second clamping section 23 is guided to return to its original shape.
[0026] The back cover 1 of this invention has a reset elastic member 3 and a support member 11 at the pin clamping portions 21 at both ends of the socket 2. The support member 11 abuts against the outer wall of the first clamping section 22 of the pin clamping portion 21, and the reset elastic member 3 abuts against the outer wall of the second support section 23. The reset elastic member 3 provides an external force for the second clamping section 23 to restore its shape, which can solve the problem of poor contact caused by deformation of the socket 2 after long-term use. This improves the service life of the socket and ensures electrical safety.
[0027] The reset elastic element 3 can be selected from commercially available springs. Preferably, the reset elastic element 3 includes a fixing part 31, a first bending section 32, and a second bending section 33;
[0028] The fixing part 31 is fixed to the rear cover 1. The end of the fixing part 31 is bent toward the second clamping section 23 to form the first bent section 32. The first bent section 32 is bent away from the second clamping section 23 to form the second bent section 33. The connection between the first bent section 32 and the second bent section 33 abuts against the second clamping section 23.
[0029] The reset elastic element 3 in this embodiment of the utility model is an elastic rib and is an integral structure with the back cover 1, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the reset elastic element 3.
[0030] More preferably, clearance holes 12 are formed along the first bending segment 32 and the second bending segment 33 at their orthogonal projections on the rear cover 1. The clearance holes 12 provide clearance space for the deformation of the reset elastic member 3, solving the problem that the reset elastic member 3 is prone to scraping against the rear cover 1 during deformation.
[0031] Preferably, the connection between the first bent segment 32 and the second bent segment 33 is opposite to the second clamping segment 23.
[0032] Preferably, the outer walls of both the first clamping section 22 and the second clamping section 23 are provided with abutment portions 24. The abutment portions 24 can effectively improve the structural strength of the pin clamping portion 21 and prevent deformation of the pin clamping portion 21 after long-term use.
[0033] Preferably, the reset elastic element 3 is integrally molded; the sleeve 2 is an integral structure.
[0034] More preferably, the connection between the first clamping segment 22 and the second clamping segment 23 is an arc-shaped structure. This arc-shaped structure can increase the insertion space of the plug and improve the compatibility of the socket with the plug.
[0035] Accordingly, this utility model embodiment also provides a socket, including the above-described socket mounting structure.
[0036] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
