Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical equipment, and specifically relates to a protective electrical socket. Background Technology

[0002] An electrical socket is an electrical device used to connect electrical appliances to a power source. It provides an interface for power transmission, enabling electrical appliances to draw power from the power grid and operate normally. Sockets are typically installed on walls, floors, or portable power strips and are indispensable electrical devices in daily life. However, while current electrical sockets are equipped with casings that protect the internal circuitry to some extent, there is room for improvement in the protection of the socket openings. The main drawback is insufficient protection; the socket openings are easily exposed, posing a risk of dust, moisture, and other foreign objects entering. Such foreign objects may cause short circuits and other malfunctions, affecting the normal use and lifespan of the socket.

[0003] The conventional solution is to use external socket covers, which cover the socket holes when not in use to prevent foreign objects from entering. However, this method has drawbacks. The covers are easily lost, and once lost, they lose their protective function. Users need to frequently purchase new covers, increasing costs. Therefore, a new structure is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

The protective assembly 200 includes a protective cover 210 for protecting the socket component. The protective cover 210 is damp-hinged to the surface of the cover plate 120 by a hinge member 240.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As the first embodiment of this utility model: the upper surface of the base plate 100 is provided with a threaded hole for fixing, the upper surface of the base plate 100 is provided with a housing body 110, the front surface of the housing body 110 is designed to be open, and the socket electrical components are installed inside the housing body 110 through the base plate 100.

[0023] A cover plate 120 is installed at the opening on the front surface of the outer casing 110, and a working indicator light 140 is installed on the surface of the cover plate 120. A fixing post 111 for fixing the bottom shell connection is installed on the outer surface of the outer casing. The socket assembly includes a socket body 130 and a socket hole. The socket body 130 is mounted on the front surface of the cover plate 120. The front surface of the socket body 130 is recessed inward to form a socket groove. The bottom of the socket groove is provided with a socket hole for electrical connection with a plug. A circuit protection switch 150 is installed on the outer surface of the housing body 110. The circuit protection switch 150 is electrically connected to the socket electrical components inside the housing body 110 through a wire. The circuit protection switch 150 can disconnect the power to the socket electrical components inside the housing body when leakage or short circuit occurs, so that it no longer provides power to the ground socket components. (The circuit protection switch 150 can be a circuit protection switch 150 of the existing market model. Its specific circuit connection principle and working principle will not be described in detail here.) When in use, the user can fix it to the desired installation location through the threaded holes on the surface of the base plate 100, or place it where it is needed without fixing it. After placement, the user can open the protective cover 210 inside the protective component 200, allowing the protective cover 210 to open along the hinge of the hinge member 240, exposing the socket component protected by the protective component 200 and the socket slot of the socket body 130. Power can then be supplied to the plug through the socket hole inside the socket slot (the socket electrical components inside the housing assembly are existing technology, and their specific circuit connection principles are not described here). When in use, the housing assembly combined with the protective component 200 gives the electrical socket significant advantages in terms of safety, durability, aesthetics, and user experience. It can not only effectively prevent electrical accidents such as electric shock, but also adapt to various usage environments, extend the service life of the socket and equipment, and improve user convenience and satisfaction.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As a second embodiment of the present invention: the hinge 240 includes a hinge plate 230, a hinge post and a connector. Two hinge plates 230 are symmetrically installed on the front surface of the cover plate 120, and a hinge post is dampedly hinged between the two hinge plates 230. A connector is installed on the outer surface of the hinge post. The side of the connector away from the hinge post is connected to the outer surface of the protective cover 210. The outer surface of the protective cover 210 is provided with anti-slip grooves. An acrylic observation cover 220 is installed on the front surface of the protective cover 210, and a rubber ring is installed on the inner surface of the protective cover 210. The inner surface of the protective cover 210 abuts against the outer surface of the socket body 130 through the rubber ring. When using the device, when opening the protective cover 210, first pinch the protective cover 210 so that the connector on the outer surface of the protective cover 210 opens along the hinge post. The protective cover 210 rotates between the two hinge plates 230 through the connector and the hinge post, thereby exposing the socket component through the operation steps of the first embodiment. Since the protective cover 210 can completely cover the socket hole when the socket body 130 is not in use, it prevents people, especially children, from accidentally touching the socket hole, thus preventing electric shock accidents. It provides an important line of defense for household electrical safety, effectively blocking foreign objects such as dust, hair, and small insects from entering the socket body 130, reducing problems such as short circuits and poor contact caused by foreign objects, reducing the probability of electrical faults, and extending the service life of the socket body 130.
