Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, and more specifically to a socket with a self-locking function. Background Technology

[0002] A socket is an interface device in an electrical system used to connect electrical equipment to a power source. Its core function is to enable the safe transmission of electrical energy.

[0003] During daily use, sockets cannot effectively prevent dust from entering their interior. Over time, dust accumulation can affect the socket's conductivity, leading to problems such as poor contact. In humid environments or in the event of accidental water splashes, sockets are prone to short circuits or leakage, posing a high risk of electric shock and fire. This greatly limits the application of sockets in certain special environments, thus affecting their normal use. Furthermore, when subjected to external pulling or vibration, the plug is prone to falling off, causing power transmission interruptions or even safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a socket with a self-locking function to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a socket with a self-locking function, including a fixing component, an external component installed on the top of the fixing component, and locking components symmetrically arranged inside the external component. The locking components include a latch, a connecting shaft, a button, and a spring. The latch is movably sleeved inside a slide groove. One end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to one side of the latch, and the other end of the connecting shaft is provided with a button. The connecting shaft is movably sleeved inside a panel. The spring is provided outside the button, and both ends of the spring are respectively fixedly connected to the latch and the panel.

[0006] Preferably, the fixing component includes a mounting base, a fixing half-ring, fixing bolts, and a slot. The fixing half-ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting base, and a fixing bolt is fixedly installed between the mounting base and the fixing half-ring. The slot is fixedly opened on the outer perimeter of the mounting base.

[0007] Preferably, the external components include a panel, a socket, and a connecting block. The panel is mounted on the top of the mounting base, and the top of the panel has a socket. The connecting block is symmetrically mounted on one side of the panel.

[0008] Preferably, the external component includes a slide, a buckle, and an unlocking hole. The slide is symmetrically opened on both sides of the top of the panel, and the buckle is arranged around the bottom of the panel and is movably engaged in the slot.

[0009] Preferably, a protective component is provided on the top of the external component; the protective component includes a protective cover, a cable outlet and a roller. The protective cover is located on the top of the panel and has a cable outlet on one side. The roller is fixedly sleeved inside one side of the protective cover and movably sleeved inside the connecting blocks on both sides.

[0010] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. This utility model, by incorporating external and protective components, effectively prevents dust from entering the socket, keeps the socket clean, extends the socket's service life, and prevents water from splashing directly into the socket, thus improving the socket's safety in humid environments.

[0012] 2.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The socket with self-locking function involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a socket with a self-locking function, including a fixing component 1, an external component 2 installed on the top of the fixing component 1, a protective component 3 provided on the top of the external component 2, and locking components 4 symmetrically arranged inside the external component 2.

[0020] The fixing component 1 includes a mounting base 101, a fixing half ring 102, a fixing bolt 103, and a slot 104. The fixing half ring 102 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting base 101, and the fixing bolt 103 is fixedly installed between the mounting base 101 and the fixing half ring 102. The slot 104 is fixedly opened on the outer perimeter of the mounting base 101, which facilitates fixing the socket to the wall by the fixing bolt 103.

[0021] External component 2 includes panel 201, socket 202, connecting block 203, slide 204, buckle 205 and unlocking hole 206. Panel 201 is installed on top of mounting base 101. Socket 202 is provided on the top of panel 201. Connecting block 203 is symmetrically installed on one side of panel 201. Slide 204 is symmetrically provided on both sides of the top of panel 201. Buckle 205 is provided around the bottom of panel 201 and is movably engaged in the slot 104, which facilitates easy opening of panel 201 for internal maintenance of the socket.

[0022] The protective component 3 includes a protective cover 301, a cable outlet 302, and a roller 303. The protective cover 301 is located on the top of the panel 201, and the cable outlet 302 is provided on one side of the protective cover 301. The roller 303 is fixedly sleeved inside one side of the protective cover 301, and the roller 303 is movably sleeved inside the connecting blocks 203 on both sides. This is beneficial for the waterproof and dustproof protection of the plug and socket for safe use.

[0023] The locking assembly 4 includes a latch 401, a connecting shaft 402, a button 403, and a spring 404. The latch 401 is movably sleeved inside the slide groove 204. One end of the connecting shaft 402 is fixedly connected to one side of the latch 401, and the other end of the connecting shaft 402 is provided with a button 403. The connecting shaft 402 is movably sleeved inside the panel 201. The spring 404 is provided outside the button 403, and both ends of the spring 404 are fixedly connected to the latch 401 and the panel 201, respectively. This facilitates locking the plug to the panel 201 through the top of the latch 401, preventing it from easily falling off.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model:

[0025] First, install the mounting base 101 on the designated position on the wall using the fixing bolts 103. After installation, rotate the protective cover 301 to open it and insert the plug into the socket 202. After the groove at the bottom of the plug contacts the top of the latch 401, it locks into the top of the latch 401, and the plug completes self-locking. Rotate the protective cover 301 to close it, sealing the plug inside the protective cover 301 and allowing the plug's connecting wire to protrude through the outlet 302.

[0026] Secondly, when it is necessary to disconnect the plug, after rotating open the protective cover 301, simply place your thumb and forefinger on the buttons 403 on both sides respectively, press the buttons 403 into the unlocking hole 206, so that the latch 401 moves and no longer gets stuck in the bottom groove of the plug, and you can take out the plug. After taking out the plug, under the pulling force of the spring 404, the latch 401 returns to its original position, making it easy to lock the plug next time.

[0027] Finally, in the event of a malfunction in the mounting base 101, the external component 2 and the protective component 3 can be quickly disassembled using the clip 205 to perform internal repairs on the mounting base 101.

[0028] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
