Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a compact socket. Background Technology

[0002] Current sockets commonly use a circuit structure of a neon bulb and a resistor in series to achieve the power-on indication function. The working principle is to reduce the voltage of the alternating current through the resistor, causing the neon bulb to light up at a lower voltage to indicate the socket's power status. However, this traditional solution has significant technical drawbacks: First, the neon bulb and resistor need to be connected in series via wires or a printed circuit board, which not only complicates the assembly process but also requires them to be independently fixed inside the socket housing, occupying considerable installation space. Second, the resistor, as a discrete component, requires additional fixing structures such as clips or solder pads, resulting in a loose internal layout of the socket and making it difficult to achieve a highly integrated and compact design. Furthermore, the discrete component layout increases the number of contacts, making it prone to indicator light failure due to poor contact, and troubleshooting and component replacement require disassembling multiple components, leading to low maintenance efficiency.

[0003] As socket products move towards miniaturization and high-density integration, the structural limitations of traditional indicator light components are becoming increasingly prominent. There is an urgent need for an innovative design solution that simplifies circuit connections and optimizes space utilization to improve the overall performance and user experience of sockets.

[0032] Current sockets commonly use a circuit structure of a neon bulb and a resistor in series to achieve the power-on indication function. The working principle is to reduce the voltage of the alternating current through the resistor, causing the neon bulb to light up at a lower voltage to indicate the socket's power status. However, this traditional solution has significant technical drawbacks: First, the neon bulb and resistor need to be connected in series via wires or a printed circuit board, which not only complicates the assembly process but also requires them to be independently fixed inside the socket housing, occupying considerable installation space. Second, the resistor, as a discrete component, requires additional fixing structures such as clips or solder pads, resulting in a loose internal layout of the socket and making it difficult to achieve a highly integrated and compact design. Furthermore, the discrete component layout increases the number of contacts, making it prone to indicator light failure due to poor contact, and troubleshooting and component replacement require disassembling multiple components, leading to low maintenance efficiency.

[0033] As socket products move towards miniaturization and high-density integration, the structural limitations of traditional indicator light components are becoming increasingly prominent. There is an urgent need for an innovative design solution that simplifies circuit connections and optimizes space utilization to improve the overall performance and user experience of sockets.

[0034] Therefore, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, this is a compact socket proposed by the present invention, including a base shell 100, conductive components fixedly disposed within the base shell 100, and an indicator structure. One side of the base shell 100 allows for the insertion and fixing of a live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire. The other side of the base shell 100 is provided with several two-wire slots 101 and several three-wire slots 102. Specifically, the conductive components include a first conductive strip 210, a second conductive strip 220, and a third conductive strip 230. Correspondingly, the neutral wire connection of the two-wire slots 101 and the three-wire slots 102 is connected to the neutral wire through the first conductive strip 210; the live wire connection of the two-wire slots 101 and the three-wire slots 102 is connected to the live wire through the second conductive strip 220; and the ground wire connection of the three-wire slots 102 is connected to the neutral wire through the third conductive strip 230. Furthermore, the indicator structure includes a light-transmitting groove 104 and an electrodeless lamp 310. The light-transmitting groove 104 is disposed on the surface of the base shell 100 facing the two-wire slot 101. The electrodeless lamp 310 is disposed inside the base shell 100 and corresponds to the position of the light-transmitting groove 104. The two pins of the electrodeless lamp 310 are in direct contact with the first conductive strip 210 and the second conductive strip 220, respectively, to conduct electricity and emit light in the light-transmitting groove 104. It should be noted that by directly contacting the two pins of the electrodeless lamp 310 with the first conductive strip 210 and the second conductive strip 220, the voltage reduction structure of the neon bulb and resistor in series in the traditional socket is eliminated, simplifying the circuit connection method of the indicator light assembly, reducing the number of components and assembly steps, and eliminating the need for additional space to accommodate the resistor after the discrete voltage reduction component is eliminated. This makes the arrangement of the two-wire slot 101, the three-wire slot 102 and the indicator structure more compact, significantly improving the space utilization inside the socket, thus making the internal structure of the entire socket more compact and reducing the risk of poor contact caused by the dispersed layout of components.

[0035] Refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the base shell 100 is provided with a plurality of terminals 110, which are arranged corresponding to the live wire, neutral wire and ground wire, and are used to fix the live wire, neutral wire and ground wire. Thus, through the standardized fixing structure of the terminals 110, the live wire, neutral wire and ground wire can be quickly and stably connected, avoiding the problem of loose wires or poor contact, improving the reliability of the internal conductive connection of the socket and the assembly efficiency. At the same time, the layout of the terminals 110 and the modular design of the base shell 100 enhance the compactness of the overall structure and further optimize the utilization rate of the internal space of the socket.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of this utility model, a mounting groove 103 is provided inside the base shell 100, and the electrodeless lamp 310 is mounted in the mounting groove 103. Furthermore, through the fixing structure of the mounting groove 103, the electrodeless lamp 310 can be precisely positioned and firmly fixed inside the base shell 100, preventing the electrodeless lamp 310 from shifting or loosening due to external force or vibration, thus improving the mechanical stability of the indicator light assembly. Simultaneously, the design of the mounting groove 103 ensures that the mounting position of the electrodeless lamp 310 precisely corresponds to the position of the light-transmitting groove 104, ensuring that light can be effectively projected onto the outside of the light-transmitting groove 104, enhancing the luminous effect and visual consistency of the indicator light. Further, referring to… Figure 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the groove wall of the mounting groove 103 is provided with a plurality of limiting protrusions 1031, which abut against the limiting electrodeless lamp 310 respectively. Thus, through the physical limiting effect of the limiting protrusions 1031, the position of the electrodeless lamp 310 can be further fixed, preventing it from shaking or shifting in the mounting groove 103, thereby improving the installation firmness of the electrodeless lamp 310. At the same time, the design of the limiting protrusions 1031 can achieve stable limiting without additional fixing parts, simplifying the structure of the mounting groove 103, reducing production costs, and the integral molding of the limiting protrusions 1031 and the mounting groove 103 enhances the overall structure. Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting slot 103 is provided with a partition 1032, and the two pins of the electrodeless lamp 310 are respectively located on both sides of the partition 1032. Thus, through the isolation effect of the partition 1032, short circuits or abnormal contact of the two pins of the electrodeless lamp 310 can be avoided during installation, thereby improving the safety of the circuit connection. At the same time, the design of the partition 1032 allows the pins of the electrodeless lamp 310 to correspond to the first conductive strip 210 and the second conductive strip 220 respectively, ensuring the stability of the current path and further optimizing the electrical performance of the indicator light assembly.

[0037] Optionally, the electrodeless lamp 310 can emit yellow light, which makes the electrodeless lamp 310 emit a bright yellow light when powered on, enhancing the visual recognition of the indicator light and making it easier for users to quickly identify the normal power status of the socket. At the same time, the yellow light meets the general standards for safety signs, improving the user-friendliness and safety of the socket.

[0038] Optionally, the electrodeless lamp 310 incorporates an electronic control device to convert the input AC voltage and illuminate the lamp. This built-in electronic control device directly converts AC power into a suitable driving voltage for the lamp, eliminating the complex circuitry of traditional resistor-based voltage reduction and simplifying the indicator light's driving method. Simultaneously, the efficient conversion characteristics of the electronic control device improve energy utilization, reduce energy consumption, and extend the lamp's lifespan. Specifically, using a ballast as the electronic control device stabilizes the lamp's operating current and voltage, preventing flickering or damage due to voltage fluctuations, thus improving the indicator light's stability and reliability. Furthermore, the integrated design of the ballast makes the lamp's structure more compact, further optimizing the internal space layout of the socket.

[0039] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
