Obviously, the one or more embodiments of this utility model described below are merely one or more specific ways to implement the technical solution of this utility model, and are not exhaustive. It should be understood that other ways belonging to a general inventive concept can be used to implement the technical solution of this utility model, and it should not be limited to the embodiments described exemplary. Based on one or more embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0039] Reference Figure 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a socket system with power control function, including a housing 1 and a first socket control module disposed on the housing 1;
[0040] The first socket control module includes a socket unit, a timing control unit, and a counting control unit;
[0041] The socket unit includes a socket plate 2, which has several socket holes 3, all of which are used for electrical connection with external devices to be powered.
[0042] The timing control unit includes a time controller 4 that can record the power-on time of an external device to be powered on and control the power-on status of the external device to be powered on according to a preset time.
[0043] The counting control unit includes a counter 5 that can record the number of times an external device to be powered on is powered.
[0044] In one embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a second socket control module, a third socket control module, and a fourth socket control module, which have the same structure as the first socket control module, and the four socket control modules are arranged in a rectangular pattern. Of course, it should be understood that other numbers of socket control modules can be provided on the housing according to actual needs, and this utility model is not limited thereto.
[0045] In one embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with a controller for controlling each socket control module.
[0046] In one specific embodiment, the time controller 4 is a time relay. Specifically, the time relay has an adjustment key for setting the power-on time and a display screen. Internally, it generates a stable clock pulse through a high-precision crystal oscillator or RC oscillation circuit, which is processed by a frequency divider to form a time reference signal at the millisecond to hour level, recording the power-on duration in real time. When an external device to be powered is connected, the time relay monitors the power-on status through a current transformer or voltage detection circuit and stores the time data in a non-volatile memory. When the accumulated time reaches a preset time, the control circuit triggers an output signal through a comparator to control the power-on status of the external device to be powered.
[0047] In one specific embodiment, counter 5 is a current counter. Specifically, when an external device to be powered is electrically connected to the socket, the current generates a magnetic field or voltage change through its internal circuitry. The current transformer or Hall sensor built into the current counter monitors the current signal in real time. When the current value exceeds a preset threshold, the sensor converts the physical signal into an electrical signal, which is then amplified, filtered, and used to drive a comparator circuit to determine the current state. If the current duration exceeds the stabilization time set by the logic judgment module, it is determined to be a valid power-on event, triggering the binary increment counting logic inside the counter chip. The value is stored in non-volatile memory to ensure that the data is not lost after power failure and can be displayed on its own display screen for easy viewing.
[0048] In one embodiment, each socket control module further includes a power-on control unit for manually controlling the power on or off of external devices to be powered.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, the power control unit includes a control key 6 disposed on one side of the plug plate 2 and electrically connected to the plug plate 2.
[0050] In one embodiment, the housing 1 is equipped with a contactor for monitoring and protecting the energization status of external devices to be powered. Specifically, the contactor receives control signals from the controller via an electromagnetic coil to generate a magnetic field, which drives the armature to close or open the main contacts, thereby controlling the on / off state of the external devices to be powered. Simultaneously, its integrated auxiliary contact group can provide real-time feedback on the physical state of the main contacts and transmit the status information to the controller through a signal loop. This real-time data feedback enables fault warnings, ensuring rapid isolation of external devices under abnormal operating conditions and providing diagnostic data for subsequent maintenance.
[0051] It is worth noting that the structure and working principle of the aforementioned time relay, current counter and contactor are all existing technologies, and will not be elaborated further here.
[0052] In one embodiment, the housing 1 is provided with an indicator light 7 for reflecting the power-on status of an external device to be powered on.
[0053] In one embodiment, a power supply module is provided inside the housing 1, which is used to supply power to each socket control module and indicator light 7.
[0054] In one specific embodiment, the power supply module includes a power cord 8 for electrical connection to an external power supply device. Specifically, the power cord can be connected to the external power supply device via a structure such as a plug, or it can be directly connected to the power line of the external power supply device.
[0055] When the socket system of this utility model is in operation:
[0056] First, connect the power cord to the external power supply device;
[0057] Then, according to the actual power supply requirements, connect the external devices to be powered to the socket system through the socket holes;
[0058] Next, the power-on time can be preset via a time relay, and the external device to be powered can be powered on via a time cut-off switch or control key. During this process, the contactor can always monitor and protect the power-on status of the external device to be powered on, and can also display the power-on status via indicator lights.
[0059] After power-on is completed, the number of times the external device to be powered on can be obtained through the current counter, so as to facilitate the management of subsequent power-on.
[0060] This utility model proposes a socket system with power-on control function, comprising a housing and a first socket control module mounted on the housing. The first socket control module includes a socket unit, a timing control unit, and a counting control unit. The socket unit includes a socket plate with several socket holes for electrical connection to an external device to be powered. The timing control unit includes a timer that records the power-on time of the external device and controls its power-on status according to a preset time. The counting control unit includes a counter that records the number of times the external device is powered. Compared to existing sockets, this utility model's socket system offers diverse functions. On one hand, it can accurately record and time-control the power-on time and status of the external device; on the other hand, it can record the number of times the device is powered, enabling statistical analysis of power-on counts. Therefore, this utility model's socket system achieves precise automated management of external devices, optimizes their power consumption efficiency, and ensures stable operation.
[0061] Accordingly, based on the above-mentioned socket system with power control function, this utility model also provides a socket device with power control function, which has at least the same technical effect as the above-mentioned socket system with power control function, and will not be described in detail here.
[0062] While one or more embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention can be implemented in any other form without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, the embodiments described above are illustrative and not restrictive, and many modifications and substitutions will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
