[0035] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below are exemplary only, and are not intended to be limiting of the present application. Throughout the specification, like drawing reference numerals will be used to designate like elements, or elements with similar functions.
[0036] The embodiments of the present application are described below by referring to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-5 A vehicle power socket according to an embodiment of the present application is described below.
[0037] The vehicle power socket 100 according to an embodiment of the present application comprises a housing 1, a stop 2 and a control 3. The housing 1 is provided with a plug hole 11 for cooperating with a plug pin. The housing 1 is internally provided with a first cavity 12 at least partially opposite to the plug hole 11. The stop 2 is movably accommodated in the first cavity 12. The stop 2 selectively avoids or stops the plug hole 11. The control 3 is mechanically coupled with the stop 2 and has a first position and a second position. The control 3 is movably arranged on the housing 1 and switches between the first position and the second position while driving the stop 2 to act. In the first position, the control 3 drives the stop 2 to avoid the plug hole 11. In the second position, the control 3 drives the stop 2 to stop the plug hole 11.
[0038] In related technologies, a vehicle power socket is a device that converts the vehicle's DC power to AC power. It is mainly used to support low-power electrical devices, such as charging laptops, mobile phones, and tablets. It is well-suited for car travel. Currently, existing vehicle power sockets use an angled insertion design to ensure that the plug can only be inserted in the correct direction. However, the anti-misinsertion function is relatively simple. It is still difficult to effectively prevent plugs from being inserted by forceful squeezing, thus affecting safety and resulting in poor performance.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in the vehicle power socket 100 of this application, the stop member 2 is movably housed within the first cavity 12 of the housing 1, and can selectively avoid or block the plug hole 11. When the stop member 2 blocks the plug hole 11, it physically blocks the path of the plug insertion. Even if there is a strong external force, the plug cannot be forcibly inserted into the plug hole 11 due to the obstruction of the stop member 2, thus avoiding the risk of abnormal wiring connection caused by misinsertion. At the same time, the control member 3 has a lockable first position and a second position, and is mechanically coupled to the stop member 2, and can move on the housing 1 and drive the stop member 2 to move. When the control component 3 is in the first position, it moves the stop component 2 to avoid the plug hole 11, allowing the plug to be inserted normally and ensuring the normal function of the vehicle power socket 100. When the control component 3 is switched to the second position, it moves the stop component 2 to block the plug hole 11, ensuring that the stop component 2 will not move its position due to external force. When the plug attempts to be inserted and a large external force is applied, the stop component 2 will block the plug hole 11 because the control component 3 is in the locked second position, making it impossible for the plug to be inserted, further enhancing the safety protection effect.
[0040] The housing 1, the stop 2, and the control component 3 work together. The housing 1 provides a support and protective frame for the internal structure, the stop 2 is responsible for physical blocking, and the control component 3 controls the state of the stop 2 by switching its position. This ensures normal use when the plug is correctly inserted, and also locks the stop 2 in case of misinsertion, effectively preventing misinsertion and improving the safety of the vehicle power socket 100. This avoids various safety accidents caused by misinsertion and better protects the vehicle's electrical safety and the personal and property safety of the user.
[0041] Briefly, by controlling the first position and the second position of the control member 3, the stop member 2 stops or avoids the insertion hole 11 and cooperates with the control member 3, the stop member 2 is responsible for the physical block, the control member 3 controls the state of the stop member 2 by position switching, before inserting the plug, the control member 3 is operated first, so that the stop member 2 avoids the insertion hole 11, after pulling out the plug, the control member 3 is operated, so that the stop member 2 stops the insertion hole 11, due to the block of the stop member 2, the plug cannot forcibly enter the insertion hole 11, avoiding the risk of abnormal connection of the line caused by misplug, improving the safety of the vehicle power socket 100.
[0042] According to some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle power socket 100, the stop member 2 includes a linkage end 21, a first connecting arm 22, a second connecting arm 23 and a blocking piece 24, the linkage end 21 is connected with the control member 3 and moves with the control member 3, the same side end of the first connecting arm 22 and the second connecting arm 23 is connected with the linkage member respectively, and the blocking piece 24 is arranged at the same side of the other end of the first connecting arm 22 and the second connecting arm 23 respectively; wherein the linkage end 21 drives the first connecting arm 22 and the second connecting arm 23 to approach each other to drive the blocking piece 24 to stop the insertion hole 11, or drives the first connecting arm 22 and the second connecting arm 23 to move away from each other to drive the blocking piece 24 to avoid the insertion hole 11.
[0043] As shown in Figures 3-5 The linkage end 21 is connected with the control member 3, when the control member 3 switches between the first position and the second position, the linkage end 21 moves with the movement of the control member 3, it can be understood that when the control member 3 adopts sliding design, from one end to the other end, the linkage end 21 connected with the control member 3 will move synchronously, ensuring that the movement track of the linkage end 21 matches the control member 3, without action delay or deviation, so that the stop member 2 can adjust according to the state of the control member 3, the same side end of the first connecting arm 22 and the second connecting arm 23 is connected with the linkage member, the linkage end 21 drives the double-arm action, in the process of driving the double-arm to approach each other, due to the symmetrical force of the double-arm, it can uniformly transmit the force to the blocking piece 24, the blocking piece 24 is arranged at the same side of the other end of the first connecting arm 22 and the second connecting arm 23, its shape and size are matched with the insertion hole 11, when the double-arm drives the blocking piece 24 to stop the insertion hole 11, the blocking piece 24 can cover the insertion hole 11, forming a block, eliminating the safety hidden danger of short circuit, electric leakage and the like caused by misplug. When the socket needs to be used normally, the linkage end 21 drives the double-arm to move away from each other, the blocking piece 24 avoids the insertion hole 11, without shielding the plug insertion path.
[0044] According to some embodiments of the vehicle power socket 100, the control member 3 comprises a driving rod 31 and a locking portion 32, the driving rod 31 axially slides through the shell 1 and is provided with a rotating locking mechanism 311 at the outer end of the shell 1, the driving rod 31 cooperates with the linkage end 21 to drive the linkage end 21 to move, and the locking portion 32 is circumferentially and uniformly distributed on the outer surface of the shell 1, and the locking portion 32 cooperates with the rotating locking mechanism 311 to form a ratchet type locking structure.
[0045] The driving rod 31 axially slides through the shell 1 to directly connect the external operation with the internal linkage end 21, and the rotating locking mechanism 311 provided at the outer end of the shell 1 provides an operation position, which can be a knob or a lever, and the user can easily drive the driving rod 31 to move in the shell 1 through rotating or levering, and at the same time, the cooperation between the driving rod 31 and the linkage end 21 can drive the linkage end 21 to move synchronously when the driving rod 31 moves, and the locking portion 32 is circumferentially and uniformly distributed on the outer surface of the shell 1, and cooperates with the rotating locking mechanism 311 to form a ratchet type locking structure to limit the displacement of the driving rod 31, and when the driving rod 31 drives the linkage end 21 to make the stop piece 2 in the state of stopping the plug-in hole 11, the rotating locking mechanism 311 and the locking portion 32 can be locked to limit the movement of the driving rod 31, thereby ensuring that the stop piece 2 always stably blocks the plug-in hole 11 to prevent foreign matters from being forcibly inserted in the case of accident. Similarly, when the driving rod 31 is in the first position to make the stop piece 2 avoid the plug-in hole 11, the locking structure can also fix the driving rod 31 to avoid it from shaking back to the stopping state and affecting normal use, thereby providing a two-way safety guarantee for the vehicle power socket 100.
[0046] According to some embodiments of the vehicle power socket 100, the outer surface of the driving rod 31 in the shell 1 is formed with external threads, and the linkage end 21 is provided with a matching hole and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the driving rod 31, and the matching hole is formed with internal threads.
[0047] The external threads on the outer surface of the driving rod 31 are engaged with the internal threads in the matching hole of the linkage end 21 to form a screw transmission structure, and when the driving rod 31 is operated to rotate, the linkage end 21 will produce displacement along the axial direction of the driving rod 31, so that the linkage end 21 can accurately drive the first connecting arm 22 and the second connecting arm 23 to perform the action of approaching or moving away, thereby making the blocking piece 24 stop or avoid the plug-in hole 11, and at the same time, the threaded connection has self-locking property, and after the driving rod 31 drives the linkage end 21 to move to the target position, the friction of the threads will prevent the linkage end 21 from moving by itself, so that even if the vehicle encounters severe bumps or vibrations during driving, the linkage end 21 will not easily slide due to the self-locking effect of the threads, thereby ensuring that the stop piece 2 always remains in the set state and effectively preventing the misplug situation from occurring, and this self-locking property provides additional safety guarantee for the vehicle power socket 100 and further improves the safety of vehicle power supply.
[0048] According to some embodiments of the vehicle-mounted power socket 100, the rotation locking mechanism 311 is coaxially arranged with the driving rod 31 and has a first limiting portion 3111 formed on the outer periphery thereof, and the locking portion 32 is configured in an arc shape and located at least partially on the outer periphery of the rotation locking mechanism 311, and the locking portion 32 has a second limiting portion 321 formed thereon and matched with the first limiting portion 3111; wherein one of the first limiting portion 3111 and the second limiting portion 321 is configured as a protruding locking tooth, and the other of the first limiting portion 3111 and the second limiting portion 321 is configured as a recessed locking groove.
[0049] As shown in Figures 3-5 It can be understood that the ratchet type matching of the locking portion and the rotation locking mechanism can be a mechanical interlocking structure formed by matching of the locking tooth and the locking groove. Specifically, when the driving rod 31 is rotated to a target position, the external force is dispersed by the multi-tooth contact surface, so that the locking structure can withstand a larger external force, and it is ensured that the driving rod 31 will not be accidentally rotated due to vibration, the stable state of the stopper 2 is maintained, and the safety hazard caused by misplug or misoperation is effectively prevented. The locking portion 32 is configured in an arc shape and forms a circumferential limiting around the axis of the driving rod 31. The arc shape provides a larger contact area and a force path, and the anti-torsion capability is enhanced. When the external force attempts to rotate the driving rod 31, the friction force of the arc surface can effectively resist rotation, significantly improving the locking reliability, and the socket state can be more stably maintained.
[0050] According to some embodiments of the vehicle-mounted power socket 100, the vehicle-mounted power socket 100 further comprises a locking base 4 and an elastic member 5. The locking base 4 is arranged on the outer surface of the shell 1, and the locking portion 32 is movably arranged on the locking base 4. One end of the elastic member 5 is abutted against the locking base 4, and the other end is abutted against the locking portion 32.
[0051] It can be understood that the elastic member 5 always causes the locking portion 32 to be subjected to a pre-tightening force towards the rotation locking mechanism 311. When the locking tooth and the locking groove are engaged, the elastic pre-tightening force tightly presses the locking portion 32 towards the rotation locking mechanism 311, and the contact pressure between the tooth and the groove is increased. Not only is the friction force improved, but the micro-motion slip caused by vehicle vibration is also effectively resisted. In addition, the gap between the tooth and the groove caused by long-term use or material wear can be compensated for, so that the locking structure can always be kept in a tightly matched state. The elastic pre-tightening force can prevent the locking portion 32 from loosening due to vibration, maintain the locking position of the driving rod 31, and ensure that the stopper 2 reliably blocks or avoids the plug-in hole 11. When it is necessary to rotate the driving rod 31 to unlock, a torque slightly larger than the elastic pre-tightening force can be applied to separate the rotation locking mechanism 311 from the locking portion 32. The elastic member 5 makes the unlocking process smooth and smooth, avoiding the jamming or locking phenomenon caused by the too-tight matching between the tooth and the groove, and ensuring the reliability of the operation.
[0052] According to some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle power socket 100 further comprises a guide rod 6 arranged in the first cavity 12, and the first connecting arm 22 and the second connecting arm 23 are sleeved on the guide rod 6 respectively.
[0053] The guide rod 6 is arranged in the first cavity 12, and the first connecting arm 22 and the second connecting arm 23 are sleeved on the guide rod 6 respectively. When the linkage end 21 drives the double arms to approach or move away, the guide rod 6 limits the displacement of the connecting arms in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the guide rod 6, so that the first connecting arm 22 and the second connecting arm 23 can only slide along the axial direction of the guide rod 6, avoiding the misalignment of the blocking piece 24 due to the deviation of the movement of the double arms, and the complete blocking of the plug insertion, thereby improving the reliability of the anti-misplug function. The guide rod 6 provides an additional support point for the double arms. When the blocking piece 24 is subjected to the insertion force of an external plug, the connecting arms will transmit the force to the guide rod 6. The guide rod 6 can disperse and withstand these external forces due to its rigid structure, avoiding the bending or deformation of the double arms due to uneven force. When foreign matter tries to forcibly insert, the blocking piece 24 will be subjected to a greater impact force. At this time, the guide rod 6 can share the pressure of the connecting arms, preventing the double arms from being twisted under the action of force, thereby ensuring that the blocking piece 24 stably stops the plug insertion hole 11, enhancing the overall structural strength and stability of the stopper 2, and prolonging the service life of the vehicle power socket 100.
[0054] According to some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle power socket 100 further comprises a reset spring 7 sleeved on the guide rod 6, and the two ends of the reset spring 7 are respectively abutted between the inner wall of the first cavity 12 and the blocking piece 24.
[0055] The reset spring 7 is sleeved on the guide rod 6, and the two ends are respectively abutted between the inner wall of the first cavity 12 and the blocking piece 24. When the control member 3 drives the linkage end 21 to make the blocking piece 24 in the avoiding position, the reset spring 7 is compressed to store elastic potential energy. When the control member 3 is unlocked or fails, the spring releases the potential energy to push the blocking piece 24 to automatically reset to the stopping position to block the plug insertion hole 11. When the control member 3 fails, the blocking piece 24 can still rely on the spring force to restore the protection state, avoiding the risk of misplug, and significantly improving the system reliability. When the plug is inserted or pulled out, the reset spring 7 buffers the impact force through elastic deformation, reducing the mechanical damage to the blocking piece 24, the connecting arms and the guide rod 6. The instantaneous impact force generated by the quick plug-in and plug-out of the plug will make the spring compressed and deformed, converting the kinetic energy into elastic potential energy, avoiding the component wear or fracture caused by rigid collision. This buffering mechanism is particularly important in the vehicle bumping environment, which can effectively prolong the service life of the vehicle power socket 100 and reduce the maintenance cost.
[0056] According to some embodiments of the application, the vehicle power socket 100 further comprises a wire 8 and a cigarette lighter connector 9, one end of the wire 8 is connected to the shell 1 and connected with the contact sheet in the plug hole 11, and the cigarette lighter connector 9 is arranged at the other end of the wire 8 and used to cooperate with the cigarette lighter of the vehicle.
[0057] As shown in Figures 1-2 , the cigarette lighter connector 9 is adapted to the vehicle cigarette lighter interface, when the cigarette lighter connector 9 is inserted into the vehicle cigarette lighter, an electrical connection can be formed to continuously supply power to the vehicle power socket 100, and since the wire 8 has a certain length, the vehicle power socket 100 can be placed in different areas in the vehicle, such as the center console, the rear armrest, the storage compartment, etc., to meet the power demand of different passengers in different positions. The connection mode of the cigarette lighter connector 9 and the wire 8 simplifies the installation process of the vehicle power socket 100, and only needs to insert the cigarette lighter connector 9 into the vehicle cigarette lighter interface to complete the installation, realizing plug and play. After the vehicle power socket 100 obtains power through the wire 8 connected to the cigarette lighter connector 9, it can support charging of various electronic devices, and the functionality of the vehicle power socket 100 can be improved.
[0058] In some embodiments of the application, as shown in Figure 2 , the shell 1 is further provided with a plurality of buckles 13, and the buckles 13 are formed with openings, and at least part of the wire 8 can be accommodated in the buckles 13 to facilitate the arrangement of the wire 8.

Since the vehicle according to the embodiments is provided with the vehicle power socket 100 of any of the above embodiments, the safety of the vehicle according to the application is significantly improved. In the vehicle power socket 100, the stopper 2 physically blocks the plug hole 11 in the locked state of the control member 3, so that foreign matter cannot be mistakenly inserted into the plug hole due to bumps during driving of the vehicle, thereby avoiding circuit short circuit and overload heating caused by incorrect insertion of the plug, reducing the risk of fire of the vehicle electrical system or damage of the battery, and ensuring the safety of the vehicle itself and the passengers. At the same time, the physical blocking of the stopper 2 can reduce the hard impact on the internal spring sheet of the socket when the plug is inserted, reduce mechanical wear, thereby prolonging the service life of the socket itself and improving the reliability of the vehicle parts.
