[0025] Example:

[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:

[0027] This utility model provides a spark-proof DC socket structure, including an insulating body 2, a shielding shell 1 fastened to the insulating body 2, and buckles 101 on both sides of the shielding shell 1. The buckles 101 can be bent to fix the shielding sheet outside the socket, thereby playing a shielding role.

[0028] The shielding shell 1 has elastic clips 102 on both sides, and the box body 209 has grooves 205 on both sides corresponding to the elastic clips 102, which allows the shielding shell 1 to be fastened and locked onto the insulating body 2. The shielding shell 1 has notches on both sides of its end, and the box body 209 has locking blocks 206 on both sides corresponding to the notches. The locking blocks 206 can extend into the notches and abut against the shielding shell 1. The elastic clips 102 and the locking blocks 206 interact and restrict each other, making the connection between the shielding shell 1 and the box body 209 more stable.

[0029] The insulating body 2 includes a housing 209 and an extension platform 204. One end of the housing 209 has an insertion port, and the other end has a circular hole 201 and a movable groove 202. The movable groove 202 extends through the extension platform 204, and the two end walls of the movable groove 202 have two sets of corresponding locking cavities 203. The locking cavities 203 respectively hold a first terminal 3 and a second terminal 4. A center pin 5 passes through the circular hole 201. The front end of the first terminal 3 is bent and makes elastic contact with the second terminal 4. The center pin 5 is the positive pole, the first terminal 3 is the negative pole, and the second terminal 4 is the detection terminal. The center pin 5, the first terminal 3, and the second terminal 4 all extend pins in the same direction to facilitate connection to the circuit board.

[0030] Furthermore, the design of the box 209 and the extension platform 204 forms an ultra-thin recessed plate structure to prevent instantaneous arcing of the high-current power socket during plug insertion.

[0031] In this design, the first terminal 3 has multiple bends 302 formed at the bend at its front end. Each bend 302 has a protrusion forming a contact 303. The first terminal 3 serves as the negative electrode, and the built-in contact 303 forms a multi-point contact structure, thereby increasing the product's load power. Since the first terminal 3 is too long, a spring piece 301 is provided on the first terminal 3, and a limiting groove 207 corresponding to the spring piece 301 is provided on the inner wall of the movable groove 202. This strengthens the fixation between the first terminal 3 and the locking cavity 203, so that the first terminal 3 remains stable even after the plug is inserted into the socket and the contact 303 is squeezed.

[0032] The insulating body 2 has an end cap 6 at one end, and an insertion hole 601 communicating with the socket is provided on the end cap 6. The end cap 6 contacts the shielding shell 1, increasing the area of ​​the negative electrode shielding shell 1 and effectively preventing the front end of the insulating body 2 from being exposed. At the same time, multiple fasteners 602 are provided around the edge of the insertion hole 601 and are snapped into the insulating body 2. A surrounding plate 603 is provided around the end cap 6, and a locking strip 604 is provided on the wall of the surrounding plate 603 protruding inward. A locking groove 208 corresponding to the locking strip 604 is provided on the side wall of the box 209. The locking strip 604 is inserted into the locking groove 208 to restrict the position of the end cap 6, making its structure more stable. Moreover, the bending of the fasteners 602 allows the elasticity of the fasteners 602 to restrict the plug after it is inserted into the socket, preventing the plug from becoming loose.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
