It allows for the insertion of various wires, facilitating connection to other circuits. The connection and disconnection of the circuit is achieved through the connection and disconnection of the wires and copper components. Sockets are classified by use as follows: household sockets, industrial sockets, waterproof sockets, general sockets, power sockets, computer sockets, telephone sockets, video / audio sockets, and portable sockets; USB sockets; power sockets: electrical accessories with sockets designed to mate with plug pins and terminals for connecting flexible cables; fixed sockets: sockets for connecting to fixed wiring; portable sockets: sockets intended to be connected to or integrated with flexible cables, and easily moved from one location to another when connected to a power source; multi-socket sockets: combinations of two or more sockets. Currently, most sockets on the market lack overload protection, making them prone to fires due to overheating or excessive current, causing loss of life or property and reducing their effectiveness. Therefore, sockets with overload protection are needed. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this utility model provides a socket with an overload switch, which solves the problem that most existing sockets on the market typically lack overload switches and protection functions, making them prone to fires due to excessive temperature or current, resulting in loss of life or property and reduced socket usability.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a socket with an overload switch, comprising a socket upper cover and a socket lower cover. A socket protective sheet is fixedly installed on the surface of the socket upper cover. An N-pole conductive sheet, an L-pole conductive sheet, and an E-pole conductive sheet are respectively fixedly connected to the lower surface of the inner wall of the socket lower cover. An overload switch is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the socket lower cover. A wiring cover is snapped onto one side of the socket lower cover, and a wiring switch with an indicator light is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the wiring cover.
[0005] Preferably, the upper cover of the socket and the lower cover of the socket are bolted together, and the upper cover of the socket is located above the lower cover of the socket.
[0006] Preferably, the socket protection plate is connected to the N-pole conductive plate, the L-pole conductive plate, and the E-pole conductive plate, respectively.
[0007] Preferably, the overload switch has a reset button on its upper surface, and the overload switch is electrically connected to the L-pole conductive plate.
[0008] Preferably, the upper surface of the illuminated wiring switch is provided with a switch button, and the illuminated wiring switch is electrically connected to the overload switch.
[0009] Preferably, a connecting block is fixedly installed on one side of the wiring cover, and a connecting hole is formed on the surface of the connecting block; a fixing block is fixedly installed on one side of the socket lower cover, and a hanging hole is formed on the surface of the fixing block.
[0010] Preferably, the surface of the wiring cover is provided with a wiring socket.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] The power switch's L-pole, overload switch's L-pole, and the socket's L-pole are connected in series. When the power of the appliance exceeds its rated current, it will cause excessive current and lead to a rise in temperature. Since the L-pole conductive piece (live wire) is connected to the overload switch, when the temperature reaches the highest limit of the temperature control, the overload switch will disconnect, completely cutting off the socket's power supply. This prevents the socket from catching fire due to excessive temperature or current, protects the appliance, ensures the safety of the appliance and the lives and property of people, and improves the socket's performance.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a socket with an overload switch, comprising a socket upper cover 1 and a socket lower cover 9. A socket protection plate 2 is fixedly installed on the surface of the socket upper cover 1. An N-pole conductive plate 3, an L-pole conductive plate 4 and an E-pole conductive plate 5 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the inner wall of the socket lower cover 9. An overload switch 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the socket lower cover 9. A wiring cover 8 is snapped onto one side of the socket lower cover 9. A wiring switch 7 with an indicator light is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the wiring cover 8.
[0020] An external power cable can be inserted into the socket through the wiring socket 12 to connect the socket. After the socket is connected to the power cord, pressing the switch button will turn on the socket. The L pole of the power switch, the L pole of the overload switch, and the L pole of the socket are connected in series. When the power switch is on, the entire circuit is in a conducting state and can be used normally. When the power of the appliance exceeds its rated current, it will cause excessive current and temperature rise. Since the L pole conductive piece 4 (live wire) is connected to the overload switch 6, when the temperature reaches the highest limit of the temperature control, the overload switch 6 will disconnect, completely cutting off the power to the socket and preventing fire caused by overheating. When the temperature drops to the reset temperature of the overload switch 6, pressing the reset button will close the contacts and turn on the power to operate, protecting the socket from fire caused by overheating or excessive current. This prevents fires caused by users blindly exceeding the limits, and also protects the use of appliances, thereby protecting the safety of appliances and the lives and property of people. (Current 10A) All 16A can be used (unaffected by current). Overload switch 6 prevents fires caused by overload, thus avoiding loss of life and property. The socket top cover 1 and socket bottom cover 9 can be assembled by bolts, and conversely, the socket top cover 1 and socket bottom cover 9 can be opened and disassembled by bolts. The socket can be hung up through the connecting holes on the surface of connecting block 11 and the hanging holes on the surface of fixing block 10, making it convenient to use the socket at different positions and heights, thus improving the socket's performance.
[0021] In one aspect of this embodiment, an electrical plug can be inserted into the socket protection piece 2 to power on the electrical device.
[0022] In one aspect of this embodiment, the socket upper cover 1 and the socket lower cover 9 can be assembled by bolts, thereby assembling the socket; conversely, the socket upper cover 1 and the socket lower cover 9 can be opened and disassembled by bolts.
[0023] In one aspect of this embodiment, the illuminated wiring switch 7 can be controlled by a switch button after being powered on, thereby controlling the switch of the socket, and the overload switch 6 can control the illuminated wiring switch 7.
[0024] In one aspect of this embodiment, when the temperature of the socket drops to the recovery temperature of the overload switch 6, pressing the reset button closes the contacts, allowing the socket power to be switched on. The socket is powered on, and the L-pole of the power switch, the L-pole of the overload switch, and the L-pole of the socket are connected in series. When the power switch is on, the entire circuit is in a conductive state and can be used normally. When the power of the appliance exceeds its rated current, it will cause excessive current and high temperature. When the temperature reaches the ignition point of the socket's outer casing, the overload switch 6 will disconnect, completely cutting off the socket power and preventing a fire caused by excessive temperature.
[0025] In one aspect of this embodiment, the socket can be hung up by the connecting holes on the surface of the connecting block 11 and the hanging holes on the surface of the fixing block 10, making it convenient to use the socket at different positions and heights, thus improving the socket's performance.
[0026] In one aspect of this embodiment, an external power cable can be inserted into the socket through the wiring socket 12 to connect the socket to power.
[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
