[0054] Research has revealed that in existing socket products, once the protective door is installed inside the socket, it can easily detach from the socket's back cover without any restraint, especially before the socket end cover is installed. This causes significant problems during socket assembly, severely impacting assembly efficiency and quality.
[0055] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides a socket, a two-prong protection mechanism, and a three-prong protection mechanism. By providing a two-prong protection door mechanism and a three-prong protection door mechanism, a two-prong protection door slide boss and a three-prong protection boss corresponding to the two-prong sliding protection piece and the three-prong sliding protection piece in the two-prong protection door mechanism and the three-prong protection door mechanism are provided on the back shell of the socket to engage with each other. This fixes the two-prong sliding protection piece and the three-prong sliding protection piece when they are placed inside the back shell of the socket, preventing the two-prong sliding protection piece and the three-prong sliding protection piece from falling off due to the movement of the back shell of the socket.
[0056] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.
[0057] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0058] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the socket panel 5 has two-prong sockets 13 and three-prong sockets 14 corresponding to two-prong plugs and three-prong plugs. When the two-prong sliding protective plate 21 and the three-prong sliding protective plate 31 are placed into the corresponding two-prong protective door sliding cavity 20 and three-prong protective door sliding cavity 30 inside the socket back shell 1, the two-prong sliding protective buckle 210 on the two-prong sliding protective plate 21 contacts the two-prong protective door sliding plate protrusion 110 on the two-prong protrusion seat 11. The inclined surface on the two-prong sliding protective buckle 210 is opposite to the inclined surface on the two-prong protective door sliding plate protrusion 110. When the two abut, the two-prong protrusion seat 11 deforms. After the two are engaged, the two-prong protrusion seat 11 restores its deformation so that the two are engaged. The two-prong protrusion seat 11 and the two-prong protective door sliding plate protrusion 110 on it are integrally formed with the socket back shell 1. Similarly, the installation principle and steps of the three-prong sliding protective plate 31 are the same as those of the two-prong sliding protective plate 21.
[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the lower end face of the two-prong sliding protective plate 21 and the upper end face of the three-prong sliding protective plate 31 are respectively provided with a two-prong sliding push block 22 and a three-prong sliding push block 32. The opposite ends of the two sliding push blocks abut against the back shell 1 of the socket. The reset spring 4 is placed between the two sliding push blocks. When the two-prong plug is inserted into the two-prong socket 13, the two-prong plug abuts against the corresponding vertical inclined surface 211 and pushes the two-prong sliding protective plate 21 to slide in the two-prong protective door sliding cavity 20. At this time, the three-prong sliding protective plate 31 is stationary and the reset spring 4 is compressed. When the two-prong plug is disengaged from the socket panel 5, the reset spring 4 rebounds and pushes the two-prong sliding protective plate 21 back to its original position.
[0061] For a three-prong plug, when it is inserted into the corresponding three-prong socket 14, the inclined plug on the three-prong plug abuts against the corresponding inclined surface 311 and pushes the three-prong sliding protective plate 13 to slide in the three-prong protective door sliding cavity 30. At this time, the two-prong sliding protective plates 21 are stationary and the return spring 4 is compressed. When the three-prong plug is disengaged from the socket panel 5, the return spring 4 rebounds and pushes the three-prong sliding protective plate 31 back to its original position.
[0062] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0063] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence unless expressly indicated herein. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed above may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment.
[0064] Spatially relative terms, such as “inside,” “outside,” “below,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “up,” etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature illustrated in the figures and another element or feature. In addition to the orientations depicted in the figures, spatially relative terms may be intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as “below” or “below” other elements or features would be oriented as “above” other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can cover both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.
[0065] In the above discussion, unless otherwise stated, when used to describe numerical values, the terms “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc., indicate a change of + / - 10% in that value.
[0066] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
