Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial sockets, and more particularly to a safety-type industrial socket. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial sockets are widely used in various power tools, equipment, and lighting systems as important power access devices in industrial production, construction, and outdoor operations. With the continuous improvement of industrial automation, higher requirements are being placed on the safety, protection performance, and ease of use of industrial sockets.

[0003] However, existing industrial sockets typically employ an open-structure design, which presents several problems in practical use. For instance, in industrial environments with high levels of dust, moisture, oil, and metal debris, exposed sockets are easily contaminated, leading to electrical faults such as poor contact, short circuits, and leakage. This can affect the normal operation of equipment and even potentially cause fires or electric shocks. Furthermore, when not in use, traditional industrial sockets lack effective physical protection, making them prone to accidental contact or insertion, especially in high-traffic environments like factory workshops and construction sites, which can easily cause personal injury. In humid, high-temperature, and corrosive environments, exposed sockets are more susceptible to corrosion, shortening the socket's lifespan. Accidental contact with industrial sockets accounts for 38% of electrical injuries, and angular misalignment leading to poor contact causes a failure rate exceeding 25%. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a safe industrial socket. Through a locking component, the operator can only open the socket when operating correctly, effectively preventing short circuits or electric shock accidents caused by accidental contact and improving safety during use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a safety industrial socket, including a base, a socket housing body rotatably connected to the top of the outer wall of the base, a round tube fixedly connected to the right end of the inner wall of the socket housing body, a locking assembly provided on the inner wall of the round tube, the round tube limiting the cover through the locking assembly, a fixing rod rotatably connected to the left end of the outer wall of the cover, connecting plates fixedly connected to the inner walls of both the front and rear sides of the fixing rod, the right ends of the two connecting plates being fixedly connected to the left end of the outer wall of the socket housing body, and torsion springs fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the fixing rod, the opposite ends of the two torsion springs being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover.

[0006] Furthermore, the positioning assembly includes a compression spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular tube, a pressure plate fixedly connected to the left end of the outer wall of the compression spring, a slide rod fixedly connected to the right end of the inner wall of the pressure plate, and the outer wall of the slide rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular tube.

[0007] Furthermore, a slot is provided on the right end of the inner wall of the cover, the size of which is adapted to the round tube, and a handle is fixedly connected to the right end of the slide rod.

[0008] Furthermore, a slider is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the slide rod, and the slider is engaged inside the cover.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing post is fixedly connected to the top left of the base, a gear is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixing post, a gear ring is meshed with the right end of the outer wall of the gear, the inner wall of the gear ring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer wall of the socket housing body, and the bottom end of the inner wall of the cover is engaged with the top end of the outer wall of the socket housing body.

[0010] Furthermore, a disc is fixedly connected to the left end of the outer wall of the base, and a plug rod is slidably connected to the front end of the inner wall of the disc. The bottom end of the outer wall of the plug rod is engaged with the top end of the outer wall of the gear, and several slots are provided at the top end of the inner wall of the gear, the size of which is adapted to the plug rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the gear, and the connecting rod is used to rotate the gear.

[0012] Furthermore, a power connector is installed on the inner wall of the socket housing, and a placement groove is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the socket housing for inserting the power connector after the wire passes through.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Reference Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a safety industrial socket, comprising a base 1, a fixing post 13 fixedly connected to the top left of the base 1, a gear 15 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixing post 13, a gear ring 11 meshing with the right end of the outer wall of the gear 15, the inner wall of the gear ring 11 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer wall of the socket housing 2, a power connector 17 installed on the inner wall of the socket housing 2, the power connector 17 conforming to IEC60309 standard, and a placement groove formed at the bottom end of the inner wall of the socket housing 2. The cover 5 is used to allow the wire to pass through and be inserted into the power connector 17. The bottom of the inner wall of the cover 5 is engaged with the top of the outer wall of the socket housing 2. A disc 12 is fixedly connected to the left end of the outer wall of the base 1. A plug rod 16 is slidably connected to the front end of the inner wall of the disc 12. The bottom of the outer wall of the plug rod 16 is engaged with the top of the outer wall of the gear 15. Several slots 21 are opened at the top of the inner wall of the gear 15. The size of the slots 21 is adapted to the plug rod 16. A connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the gear 15. The connecting rod 14 is used to rotate the gear 15. A socket housing body 2 is rotatably connected. A round tube 7 is fixedly connected to the right end of the inner wall of the socket housing body 2. A locking component is provided on the inner wall of the round tube 7. The round tube 7 limits the sealing cover 5 through the locking component. The locking component includes a compression spring 18 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the round tube 7. A pressure plate 19 is fixedly connected to the left end of the outer wall of the compression spring 18. A sliding rod 9 is fixedly connected to the right end of the inner wall of the pressure plate 19. The outer wall of the sliding rod 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the round tube 7. A slot 6 is opened at the right end of the inner wall of the sealing cover 5. The size of the slot 6 is adapted to the round tube 7. A handle 10 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rod 9. A slider 8 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 9. The slider 8 is locked inside the cover 5. A fixing rod 4 is rotatably connected to the left end of the outer wall of the cover 5. Connecting plates 3 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the fixing rod 4. The right ends of the two connecting plates 3 are fixedly connected to the left end of the outer wall of the socket housing body 2. Torsion springs 20 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the fixing rod 4. The torsion springs 20 have a torque ≥ 0.5 N·m. The opposite ends of the two torsion springs 20 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover 5.

[0019] Specifically, when the socket needs to be used, first, by operating the handle 10, pull the slide bar 9 to the right. As the slide bar 9 is pulled, it drives the pressure plate 19 connected to it, causing it to apply pressure to the compression spring 18, thus compressing the compression spring 18. The purpose of this action is to release the limiting effect of the pressure plate 19 on the cover 5. Once the limiting effect is released, the slider 8 can be grasped and rotated 90° to the left or right, allowing the slot 6 to slide out from the slider 8. Under the action of the preset torsion spring 20, the cover 5 will automatically pop open, revealing the internal socket structure, facilitating subsequent operations. After the cover 5 pops open, the internal insertion rod 16 can be seen. At this time, the insertion rod 16 was originally inserted into the corresponding slot 21, serving to fix and limit the rotation of the gear 15. To adjust the angle of the power connector 17, the plug 16 needs to be pulled out of the slot 21, thereby releasing the restriction on the gear 15. After the plug 16 is removed, the user can grasp the connecting rod 14 connected to the gear 15 and manually rotate the connecting rod 14 to drive the gear 15 to rotate. The gear 15 is mounted on the fixed post 13, and its rotation will drive the gear ring 11 that meshes with it to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the gear ring 11 will drive the entire power connector 17 to adjust its angle. The maximum angle is less than 180°. The wire extending into the socket housing 2 has a certain length, so that the torque force generated by the power connector 17 will not cause the wire to tangle or break, thereby rotating it to the appropriate position to meet the needs of circuit connection.

[0020] Working principle: When the socket needs to be used, first pull the slide bar 9 to the right by the handle 10, so that the slide bar 9 drives the pressure plate 19 to compress the spring 18. Then, grasp the slider 8 and rotate it 90° to the left or right, so that the slot 6 can slide out from the slider 8, releasing the restriction on the cover 5. At this time, the torsion spring 20 on the cover 5 automatically reverses the torque, so that the cover 5 rotates through the fixing rod 4 and leaves the socket housing body 2, exposing the power connector 17 inside the socket housing body 2 for easy operation by the user. Then, the plug rod 16 can be removed from the corresponding slot 21 on the gear 15, releasing the restriction on the gear 15. Subsequently, by grasping the connecting rod 14, the gear 15 is rotated, so that the gear 15 rotates on the fixing post 13, so that the gear 15 drives the gear ring 11 to rotate, so that the power connector 17 is rotated to the appropriate position to complete the circuit connection.

[0021] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
