Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the electrical field, especially the field of power sockets. Background Technology

[0002] Different electricity needs require different power outlets, and there is a wide variety of existing outlets to meet various electrical requirements. However, the inventor encountered a technical problem when solving a particular electricity need: there was no power outlet on the market that could meet this requirement. This technical problem is as follows: using a recessed indoor outlet to supply power to the outdoor circuit, while allowing the indoor unit to control the outdoor circuit's on / off state without affecting the normal operation of the indoor outlet, ideally with an indicator light to show whether the outdoor circuit is powered. For example: an indoor outlet is already installed, recessed, and a power line needs to be run to the outdoor circuit, with the indoor unit able to independently control the outdoor circuit's power supply. A relatively simple method would be to remove the original outlet, drill a hole in the center of the original outlet's location on the wall, penetrate the wall, and then connect the required outdoor power line to the new outlet. However, there is no outlet on the market that can control this type of circuit. Further explanation: existing outlets with switches are also plentiful, but all switches only control the power supply to the main outlet, not another circuit (such as the outdoor circuit in this example). This is the technical problem the inventor actually encountered. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a socket comprising a first live wire terminal, a ground wire terminal, and a neutral wire terminal.

[0004] The first live wire terminal is electrically connected to the first live wire socket. A second switch is provided between the first live wire terminal and the first live wire socket. The second switch is used to switch the electrical connection circuit between the first live wire terminal and the first live wire socket on and off.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] See appendix Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model, particularly illustrating the circuit connections. It is especially important to note that once the circuit connections of the power socket are determined, the placement of its injection-molded housing and conductive metal sheets is something that those skilled in the art should know. Furthermore, the physical prototype of this utility model is a modification of an existing socket.

[0016] Terminal block: also called a wire terminal block, which can connect wires.

[0017] A socket is a metal prong used to insert a plug. In this invention, the socket refers not to the hole on the plastic cover of the socket, but rather to the metal opening inside the socket where the plug's metal prong contacts. The socket is made of metal and is typically formed by a folded metal piece creating a narrow slit.

[0018] There are two main types of plugs: two-prong plugs and three-prong plugs. Two-prong plugs typically have two flat prongs, one for connecting the live wire and the other for connecting the neutral wire. Three-prong plugs typically have three flat prongs, used to connect the live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire respectively.

[0019] A socket includes a first live wire terminal 1, a ground wire terminal 2, and a neutral wire terminal 3.

[0020] The first live wire terminal 1 is electrically connected to the first live wire socket 8. A second switch 6 is provided between the first live wire terminal 1 and the first live wire socket 8. It should also be noted that setting a switch in the socket is existing technology. The second switch 6 is used to switch the electrical connection circuit between the first live wire terminal 1 and the first live wire socket 8.

[0021] The first live wire connector 8 is electrically connected to the second live wire connector 10.

[0022] The first live wire terminal 1 is electrically connected to the third live wire socket 12. A first switch 5 is provided between the first live wire terminal 1 and the third live wire socket 12. The first switch 5 is used to switch the electrical connection circuit between the first live wire terminal 1 and the third live wire socket 12 on and off.

[0023] The third live wire connector 12 is electrically connected to the second live wire terminal 4 and the fourth live wire connector 16.

[0024] Ground terminal 2 is electrically connected to the second ground socket 9 and the fourth ground socket 14.

[0025] The neutral wire terminal 3 is electrically connected to the first neutral wire socket 7, the second neutral wire socket 11, the fourth neutral wire socket 15, and the third neutral wire socket 13.

[0026] The first neutral wire socket 7 and the first live wire socket 8 can supply power to a two-prong plug. The second ground wire socket 9, the second live wire socket 10, and the second neutral wire socket 11 can supply power to a three-prong plug. The second switch 6 can control these two power supply terminals.

[0027] The third live wire socket 12 and the third neutral wire socket 13 can supply power to a two-prong plug. The fourth ground wire socket 14, the fourth neutral wire socket 15, and the fourth live wire socket 16 can supply power to a three-prong plug. The first switch 5 can control these two power supply terminals.

[0028] Furthermore, the first live wire terminal 1, the ground wire terminal 2, the neutral wire terminal 3, and the second live wire terminal 4 are all located on the back of the socket. The front of the socket is used to insert the plug, and the back is used to connect the wire.

[0029] Furthermore, the socket is an 86-type recessed socket. An 86-type recessed socket refers to a recessed socket with dimensions of 86mm x 86mm. This type of socket is characterized by being installed inside the wall, flush with the wall surface.

[0030] The method of using this utility model is as follows: Taking the requirements described in the background technology as an example, the room originally has a live wire, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. The live wire is electrically connected to the first live wire terminal 1, the neutral wire is electrically connected to the neutral wire terminal 3, and the ground wire is electrically connected to the ground wire terminal 2. Three more wires are prepared; these three wires are used to pass through the wall and supply power to the outside. These three wires are respectively connected to the second live wire terminal 4, the neutral wire terminal 3, and the ground wire terminal 2. As is well known, the switch button of the socket is located on the socket panel. Therefore, the first switch 5 can be controlled from inside the room, thereby controlling the power supply to the outside. Of course, this also corresponds to controlling the power supply to the socket.

[0031] The original electrical appliance plugs in the room are inserted into the first neutral wire socket 7 and the first live wire socket 8, or the plugs are inserted into the second ground wire socket 9, the second live wire socket 10 and the second neutral wire socket 11.

[0032] Furthermore: Install a light with a plug, the plug of which is inserted into the third live wire socket 12 and the third neutral wire socket 13. When the first switch 5 is turned off, the light is turned off; when the first switch 5 is turned on, the light is turned on. The on and off status of the light can be used to easily determine whether there is power outdoors.

[0033] It should also be noted that the technical features regarding the casing and wiring layout can be completed by those skilled in the art without creative effort after reviewing this specification and the accompanying drawings. The inventive point of this utility model lies in the circuit connection method, not in how to manufacture the casing.

[0034] This invention can provide a power line for through-wall wiring and can control the power supply indoors. Furthermore, it can also determine whether there is power outdoors from indoors.
