Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart socket technology, and in particular to a smart timer socket with remote control. Background Technology
[0002] A socket, also known as a power socket or switch socket, is a receptacle with one or more circuit wires that can be inserted. Various wires can be inserted through it, facilitating connection to other circuits. The connection and disconnection of the circuit is achieved through the connection and disconnection of the wires and copper fittings. Although switches and sockets are not considered "large appliances," they are crucial to daily household safety and form the first line of defense for home electrical safety. Therefore, choosing switches and sockets should not be taken lightly. Electrical experts specifically remind us that different types of switches and sockets should be used in different locations.
[0003] Most existing smart sockets only have two-prong and three-prong outlets, lacking other outlets. They cannot be used for charging without a charger head. Moreover, existing smart sockets are either large power strips or limited to a single two-prong and three-prong outlet. Large smart power strips are only suitable for appliances that are powered on for extended periods in the home. Small smart sockets have too few outlets, and large ones are inconvenient to carry and use, and cannot meet the needs of use in special circumstances. Utility Model Content

The magnets on both sides of the outer shell can connect two independent sockets, facilitating the connection and disconnection of the two sockets. Two electrode holders are fixedly connected to the side wall of the outer casing. Two wires are fixedly connected to the sides of each of the two electrode holders. The other ends of the two wires are fixedly connected to the mounting plate. A plug mold base is fixedly connected to the back of the mounting plate. A base is fixedly connected to the side of the plug mold base. The electrode holders facilitate power connection between the two sockets.
[0006] According to the aforementioned intelligent timer socket with remote control, a fixing post is fixedly connected to the front surface of the base, and a bolt is threaded inside the fixing post. The bolt is tightly attached to the front surface of the mounting plate, which facilitates the mounting plate to be fixedly connected to the base.
[0007] According to the aforementioned smart timer socket with remote control, three terminals are fixedly connected to the outside of the plug mold base. The outer surface of the plug mold base is flush with the back of the base, which facilitates the bottom surface of the smart socket to fit against the surface of the original socket, so that the smart socket is firmly connected to the surface of the original socket.
[0008] According to the aforementioned smart timer socket with remote control, a WIFI module is fixedly connected to the back of the mounting plate, and a control module is fixedly connected to the back of the mounting plate. This allows the smart socket to be controlled and used via a mobile phone, and in the absence of a network, the control module can control the power on and off according to the time preset by the user.
[0009] According to the aforementioned smart timer socket with remote control, a USB interface is fixedly connected to the front surface of the mounting plate, and a Type-C interface is provided below the USB interface. The bottom of the Type-C interface is fixedly connected to the front surface of the mounting plate, which enriches the connection interfaces of the smart socket during use and provides users with various possible connection ports.

All five electrode clips are located on the right side of the USB interface. Five rectangular holes are opened on the front surface of the outer shell, and the five rectangular holes correspond one-to-one with the five electrode clips. Two-prong and three-prong plugs are fixedly provided to meet the user's most basic usage needs.
[0011] According to the aforementioned smart timer socket with remote control, two magnets are provided on each of the left and right sides of the outer casing, and the four magnets are arranged in a rectangle. A switch casing is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer casing, and an indicator casing is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer casing. The indicator casing is made of transparent material. Dustproof shells are rotatably connected to both sides of the outer casing, and grooves are provided on both sides of the outer casing. The dustproof shells are the same size as the grooves to facilitate the magnetic adsorption connection between two smart sockets. An indicator light displays the working status of the smart sockets. The dustproof shells can be rotated upwards into the grooves and become flush with the sides of the outer casing.
[0012] According to the aforementioned smart timer socket with remote control, one of the electrode holders has a protrusion on its exterior, and the other electrode holder has a recess on its exterior.

An indicator light is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate to facilitate the connection and power supply of the two smart sockets on the sides. The switch controls the power supply to and from the electrode holders on both sides.
[0013] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model facilitates the connection between two smart sockets by using magnets on both sides of the outer shell. The use of strong magnets allows the two smart sockets to be tightly connected, requiring a large external force to separate them, making it convenient for users to connect and disconnect them.
[0014] 2. This utility model allows for connection via the electrode holders on both sides of the outer shell when magnetically attracted. Power is only supplied when the electrode holder contacts another electrode holder and is released via mobile phone software. Only one smart socket with a three-prong plug needs to be purchased, and other smart sockets without a three-prong plug can be purchased for use. Smart sockets without a three-prong plug do not have independent power supply function. This provides users with a certain novelty, is convenient to carry, and can be connected to the required number of sockets.
