[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0027] This application discloses a side-outlet socket. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The side-outlet socket includes a socket faceplate 1, a back cover 2, a waterproof gasket 4, and a waterproof pad 5. The back cover 2 covers the socket faceplate 1, and a wiring hole group 3 is opened on the side wall of the back cover 2. The waterproof gasket 4 is connected to the back cover 2 at the wiring hole group 3. The waterproof pad 5 is interlocked between the waterproof gasket 4 and the back cover 2, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the socket. Through the layered protection of the back cover 2, the waterproof gasket 4, and the waterproof pad 5, moisture is effectively prevented from entering the socket through the wiring hole.

[0028] The socket faceplate 1 is the part where the user plugs in and out. It is generally made of highly insulating plastic and is usually square in shape, with socket holes on the surface for connecting the plug to conduct electricity. Alternatively, other shapes such as round can be used for the socket faceplate 1, depending on different design requirements. The back cover 2 is used to cover the socket faceplate 1, protecting the electrical components inside the socket. It is also made of insulating plastic.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The back cover 2 has a wiring hole group 3 on its side wall. The wiring hole group 3 is used for wires to pass through, so as to connect the socket to the power supply. The wiring hole group 3 includes a first wiring hole 31 and a second wiring hole 32. The diameter of the first wiring hole 31 is larger than the diameter of the second wiring hole 32 to accommodate wires of different thicknesses.

[0030] The waterproof cover 4 is connected to the back cover 2 at the wiring hole group 3. The waterproof cover 4 is connected to the side wall of the back cover 2 by a snap-fit ​​6. The snap-fit ​​6 includes a snap-fit ​​block 61 and a guide block 62. The side wall of the back cover 2 has an integrally formed extension ring 21. There are at least two snap-fit ​​blocks 61. The snap-fit ​​blocks 61 are integrally formed on the outer wall of the extension ring 21. The side of each snap-fit ​​block 61 away from the back cover 2 is connected to the guide block 62.

[0031] The waterproof gasket 4 has a snap-fit ​​hole 42 for inserting the guide block 62 and the snap-fit ​​block 61. The inner wall of the waterproof gasket 4 located in the snap-fit ​​hole 42 can abut against the end of the snap-fit ​​block 61 near the rear cover 2. Through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​block 61 and the snap-fit ​​hole 42, a firm connection between the waterproof gasket 4 and the rear cover 2 is achieved. The inner end wall of the waterproof gasket 4 can fit against the end of the extension ring 21 away from the rear cover 2, further enhancing the waterproof effect.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In order to ensure that the waterproof pad 5 is fully interfered between the waterproof pad cover 4 and the back cover 2, the thickness of the waterproof pad 5 is greater than the thickness of the extension ring 21, so as to ensure that the waterproof pad 5 can fully interfere between the waterproof pad cover 4 and the back cover 2.

[0033] The waterproof cover 4 has several through holes 41 communicating with the wiring hole group 3, and the waterproof pad 5 has several through holes 51 communicating with the wiring hole group 3. The through holes 51 correspond to the through holes 41 and the wiring hole group 3, facilitating the passage of wires. The waterproof pad 5 is interlocked between the waterproof cover 4 and the back cover 2. The pressure generated by the interlocking fit enhances the waterproof effect. The waterproof pad 5 can be made of silicone or other soft and waterproof materials.

[0034] The waterproof pad 5 is provided with an induction arc surface 54 at the opening of the second wiring hole 32 near the waterproof pad cover 4 through hole 51. The induction arc surface 54 facilitates the passage of wires, reduces friction between the wires and the opening, and also helps to enhance waterproof performance.

[0035] The outer ring of the waterproof pad 5 is integrally molded with several compression rings 52. These compression rings 52 are pressed onto the waterproof cover 4 by the waterproof pad 5. The compression rings 52 are made of the same rubber material as the waterproof pad 5 and are arc-shaped guide rings, which better conform to the waterproof cover 4 and enhance the sealing effect. Two compression rings 52 are provided, located at opposite ends of the thickness direction of the waterproof pad 5. The number of compression rings 52 can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as using three or more.

[0036] The inner wall of through-hole 51 is integrally formed with several interference rings 53. These interference rings 53 abut against the circuit and are also curved guide rings to increase the contact area with the circuit and improve waterproofing. The interference rings 53 are located between two extrusion rings 52, further enhancing the waterproofing effect. Alternatively, the interference rings 53 can also be square or other shapes, as long as they can make tight contact with the circuit and achieve a waterproofing function.

[0037] The implementation principle of a side-outlet socket according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: a multi-layered waterproof structure is formed by the combination of the socket faceplate 1, the back cover 2, the waterproof gasket 4, and the waterproof pad 5. The back cover 2 covers the socket faceplate 1, initially protecting the internal components of the socket; the waterproof gasket 4 is connected to the wiring hole of the back cover 2, blocking some moisture; the waterproof pad 5 is interlocked between the waterproof gasket 4 and the back cover 2, and the waterproof performance is further enhanced by the compression ring 52 and the interference ring 53, effectively preventing moisture from entering the socket through the wiring hole, improving the safety and reliability of the socket in humid environments, and greatly improving the protection against moisture compared to the prior art.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
