Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a switch socket, specifically a socket with a night light. Background Technology
[0002] A socket, also known as a power outlet or switch socket, is a receptacle for inserting one or more electrical wires. It allows for the connection of various wires to other circuits. The connection and disconnection of the wires and copper fittings control the switching on and off of that circuit. With the increasing number of electrical appliances, sockets are being used more and more frequently. A nightlight is a lamp used for auxiliary lighting and decoration. It's relatively simple to use, requiring only a simple switch or plugging it into a socket. However, nightlights are usually separate from their sockets. Users typically purchase a nightlight as needed and plug it into a socket. While the light from a nightlight is soft, it often shines outwards, creating a kind of all-encompassing illumination. This can affect the sleep of people sensitive to light. Furthermore, the nightlight itself occupies a socket hole, affecting its usability. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the inconvenience of using existing sockets and nightlights together, this utility model provides a socket with a built-in nightlight.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a socket with a night light, comprising a housing and a panel, wherein the panel is provided with a socket for inserting a plug, and the housing is provided with a neutral wire plug and a live wire plug, and further comprising:
[0005] Mounting bracket, the housing is connected to the mounting bracket;
[0006] LED lights, used for illumination and / or indication, are mounted on a mounting bracket and are positioned so that the LED lights are directed upwards when in use.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a control switch is also included, which is disposed on the panel and oscillates relative to the panel for controlling the LED light switch.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, one end of the LED light is connected to the neutral wire connector, and the other end is connected to the control switch. The control switch is connected to the live wire connector and controls the LED light control circuit to switch on and off by swinging relative to the panel.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a mounting cover, which is disposed above the mounting bracket and blocks the LED light, so that the light from the LED light passes through the mounting cover during use.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the upper end surface of the mounting bracket is provided with a receiving groove, the LED light is disposed in the receiving groove and the irradiation direction of the LED light is set upward, and the mounting cover is placed above the receiving groove.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the mounting cover is obliquely arranged with the outer end higher than the inner end and is interference-fitted with the mounting bracket and / or panel.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the mounting bracket is provided with a slot, the LED light is disposed in the slot and is limited by the mounting bracket, and the slot and the receiving groove are connected.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the mounting cover is integrally molded from a transparent material.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inner wall of the mounting cover is provided with multiple protrusions, which are arranged side by side at equal intervals; the protrusions are in the shape of a frustum, pyramid, or hemisphere.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, there are multiple LED lights arranged side by side, and the mounting bracket and the housing are an integral structure.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that by installing an LED light on the socket mounting bracket, with the LED light pointing upwards, the light projected onto the wall is softer. Furthermore, since the LED is directly mounted on the socket, users do not need to prepare a separate nightlight, thus avoiding the loss of a nightlight. This utility model also has the advantages of simple structure, convenient assembly, reliable operation, and long service life. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0025] Depend on Figure 1 Combination Figure 2-6 As shown, a socket with a night light includes a housing 1 and a panel 2. The panel 2 has a socket 21 for inserting a plug. The housing 1 contains a neutral wire prong and a live wire prong. The socket further includes:
[0026] Mounting bracket 3, the housing 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 3;
[0027] LED light 4, used for lighting and / or indication, is mounted on mounting bracket 3, with the LED light pointing upwards during use. The advantages of this invention are that by mounting the LED light on the socket's mounting bracket and pointing it upwards, the light projected onto the wall is softer. Furthermore, since the LED is directly mounted on the socket, users do not need to prepare a separate nightlight, preventing its loss. This invention also features a simple structure, convenient assembly, reliable operation, and long service life.
[0028] This utility model also includes a control switch 5, which is mounted on the panel 2 and swings relative to the panel 2 to control the switching of the LED light 4. One end of the LED light 4 is connected to the neutral wire connector, and the other end is connected to the control switch 5. The control switch 5 is connected to the live wire connector and controls the on / off state of the LED light 4 control circuit by swinging relative to the panel 2. The LED light's neutral wire is soldered to the neutral wire connector, and the LED light's live wire is soldered to the output terminal of the control switch. The control switch's input terminal is connected to the live wire connector. In other words, the control switch only controls the LED light's live wire, thereby realizing the on / off state of the circuit. In this way, the LED light can be controlled to turn on or off by the control switch. The structure is simple, and there is no need to set up an additional night light, avoiding the loss of the night light or the blocking of the socket.
[0029] This utility model also includes a mounting cover 6, which is disposed above the mounting bracket 3 and blocks the LED light 4. During use, the light from the LED light 4 passes through the mounting cover 6. Specifically, the mounting cover 6 is integrally molded from a transparent material. This structure facilitates the passage of LED light, making it convenient for indication or illumination.
[0030] The mounting bracket 3 has a receiving groove 31 on its upper surface. The LED light 4 is placed in the receiving groove 31 with its illumination direction facing upwards. The mounting cover 6 is placed on top of the receiving groove 31. This structure facilitates the installation and fixation of the LED light while having minimal impact on the socket structure.
[0031] The mounting cover 6 is angled with the outer end higher than the inner end (the side closer to the wall is the inner side) and is interference-fitted with the mounting bracket 3 and / or the panel 2. Specifically, after the socket is installed, one end of the mounting cover is higher than the other, and the side closer to the wall is the lower end. At this time, the light will mainly shine on the wall, making the light softer.
[0032] The mounting bracket 3 is provided with a slot 32, and the LED light 4 is disposed in the slot 32 and limited by the mounting bracket 3. The slot 32 and the receiving groove 31 are connected. This structure is simple and facilitates reliable positioning of the LED light.
[0033] The inner wall of the mounting cover 6 is provided with multiple protrusions 61, which are arranged side by side at equal intervals; the protrusions 61 are in the shape of a frustum, pyramid, or hemisphere. Specifically, there are multiple LED lights 4 arranged side by side, and the mounting bracket 3 and the housing 1 are an integral structure. The multiple protrusions can diffuse the light, making the light soft.
