AI Technical Summary
[0003]然而,这类传统结构在实际使用过程中存在诸多显著缺陷,例如:当用户将插头插入插座时,金属插脚会经历一个逐步插入的过程,在此过程中,未完全插入插座的插脚部分始终处于半裸露状态,该裸露部分一旦与人体接触或与其他导电物体发生触碰,极易引发触电事故;其次,传统插头外壳在插头拔出后,金属插脚完全暴露在外界环境中,空气中的灰尘、油污等污染物会直接附着在插脚表面,长期积累下,会因插脚接触不良导致用电设备无法正常工作
通过设置导向杆、第一弹簧、滑块、塑料防护罩、插槽、插销柱、固定环、六角转块与第三弹簧等结构,可以在不影响插脚正常插入插座的同时,又能确保插脚在完全插入插座前,始终有塑料防护罩对插脚未裸露的部分进行遮挡,从而避免插脚半裸露通电的风险,且配合设置通孔、弧面挡块、限位块与第二弹簧等结构,可以在插头拔出后对插脚进行防护,从而减少外界污染物附着的可能性。

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power plug technology, and in particular to a plastic shell for a power plug with a protective structure. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life and industrial production, power plugs are key connectors for power transmission, and their safety and durability directly affect the stable operation of electrical equipment and the personal safety of users. Currently, most power plugs on the market use a traditional fixed structure design with their plastic shells exposed, with the metal prongs simply covered by the outer shell.
[0003] However, this type of traditional structure has many significant drawbacks in actual use. For example, when a user inserts the plug into the socket, the metal prongs undergo a gradual insertion process. During this process, the prongs that are not fully inserted into the socket are always in a semi-exposed state. Once this exposed part comes into contact with the human body or other conductive objects, it can easily cause an electric shock accident. Secondly, after the plug is pulled out, the metal prongs of the traditional plug shell are completely exposed to the external environment. Dust, oil, and other pollutants in the air will directly adhere to the surface of the prongs. Over a long period of time, poor contact of the prongs can cause the electrical equipment to malfunction. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a plastic shell for a power plug with a protective structure. This shell can ensure that the plug is always covered by a plastic protective cover before it is fully inserted into the socket, without affecting the normal insertion of the plug into the socket. This avoids the risk of the plug being partially exposed and energized. It can also protect the plug after it is unplugged, thereby reducing the possibility of external contaminants adhering to it.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a plastic housing for a power plug with a protective structure is provided, comprising: A plastic casing includes a circuit board fixedly connected inside, a connector fixedly connected to the outer surface of the plastic casing, pins fixedly connected to the outer surface of the plastic casing, a guide rod fixedly connected inside the plastic casing, a first spring provided on the outer surface of the guide rod, a slider slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide rod, a plastic protective cover fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slider, a through hole provided on the outer surface of the plastic protective cover, an arc-shaped stop block slidably connected inside the plastic protective cover, a limit block fixedly connected to the outer surface of the arc-shaped stop block, a second spring fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limit block, a slot provided on the outer surface of the plastic protective cover, a pin slidably connected inside the plastic casing, a retaining ring fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pin, a hexagonal rotating block fixedly connected to one end of the pin, and a third spring provided on the outer surface of the pin.
[0006] According to the aforementioned plastic housing for a power plug with a protective structure, the front end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the slider, and the rear end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the plastic housing.
[0007] According to the aforementioned power plug plastic housing with protective structure, the outer surface of the plastic protective cover is slidably connected to the plastic housing.
[0008] According to the aforementioned plastic housing of a power plug with a protective structure, the inner surface of the through hole is adapted to the pins.
[0009] According to the aforementioned power plug plastic shell with protective structure, the number of arc-shaped blocks is two and they are symmetrically distributed on the left and right, and the outer surface of the limiting block is slidably connected to the plastic protective cover.
[0010] According to the aforementioned plastic housing of a power plug with a protective structure, the inner surface of the slot is adapted to the pin, and the outer surface of the plastic protective cover is in contact with the pin.
[0011] According to the aforementioned power plug plastic housing with protective structure, the outer surface of the retaining ring is slidably connected to the plastic housing.
[0012] According to the aforementioned plastic housing for a power plug with a protective structure, one end of the third spring is fixedly connected to a retaining ring, and the other end of the third spring is fixedly connected to the plastic housing.
[0013] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects: By incorporating a guide rod, a first spring, a slider, a plastic protective cover, a slot, a pin post, a retaining ring, a hexagonal rotating block, and a third spring, the system ensures that the plug can be inserted into the socket normally without affecting the normal insertion of the plug. This ensures that the plastic protective cover always shields the unexposed parts of the plug before it is fully inserted, thus preventing the risk of the plug being partially exposed and energized. Furthermore, the inclusion of through holes, curved blocks, limit blocks, and a second spring protects the plug after it is removed, reducing the possibility of external contaminants adhering to it.

The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0018] Reference Figure 1-5This utility model discloses a plastic housing for a power plug with a protective structure, comprising: a plastic housing 1; a circuit board 2 fixedly connected inside the plastic housing 1; a connector 3 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the plastic housing 1; pins 4 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the plastic housing 1; a guide rod 5 fixedly connected inside the plastic housing 1; a first spring 6 provided on the outer surface of the guide rod 5; a slider 7 slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide rod 5; a plastic protective cover 8 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slider 7; a through hole 9 provided on the outer surface of the plastic protective cover 8; an arc-shaped stop 10 slidably connected inside the plastic protective cover 8; a limit block 11 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the arc-shaped stop 10; a second spring 12 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limit block 11; a slot 13 provided on the outer surface of the plastic protective cover 8; a pin 14 slidably connected inside the plastic housing 1; a fixing ring 15 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pin 14; and a hexagonal rotating block 16 fixedly connected to one end of the pin 14. A third spring 17 is provided on the outer surface of 14. The front end of the first spring 6 is fixedly connected to the slider 7, and the rear end of the first spring 6 is fixedly connected to the plastic shell 1 to ensure the stability of the first spring 6. The outer surface of the plastic protective cover 8 is slidably connected to the plastic shell 1 for the movement of the plastic protective cover 8. The inner surface of the through hole 9 is adapted to the pin 4 to facilitate the pin 4 to pass through. There are two arc-shaped stop blocks 10, which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right. The outer surface of the limiting block 11 is slidably connected to the plastic protective cover 8 to limit the movement of the limiting block 11. The inner surface of the slot 13 is adapted to the pin post 14. The outer surface of the plastic protective cover 8 is in contact with the pin post 14 to facilitate the temporary limitation of the plastic protective cover 8 after retraction. The outer surface of the fixing ring 15 is slidably connected to the plastic shell 1 to limit the movement of the fixing ring. One end of the third spring 17 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 15, and the other end of the third spring 17 is fixedly connected to the plastic shell 1 to ensure the stability of the third spring.
[0019] Working principle: In use, align pin 4 with the interface on the socket and insert it. During insertion, pin 4 first passes through the through hole 9, and under the action of the curved surface of the curved stop 10, it causes the two curved stop blocks 10 to retract into the interior of the plastic protective cover 8. Simultaneously, the second spring 12 is compressed. Then, under the action of the slider 7, the plastic protective cover 8 moves along the first spring 6 towards the interior of the plastic outer shell 1, compressing the first spring 6. When pin 4 is fully inserted into the socket, it will... Figure 2As shown, at this time, the slot 13 will correspond to the pin 14. Then, under the action of the rebound force of the third spring 17 in the compressed state, the pin 14 will automatically insert into the slot 13, thereby temporarily limiting the plastic protective cover 8. During the process of inserting the plug 4 into the socket, the plastic protective cover 8 will continuously cover the part of the plug 4 that is not inserted into the socket, thereby ensuring that there is no risk of the plug 4 being partially exposed and powered throughout the process. When the plug is completely pulled out, pull the hexagonal rotating block 16 outward. Under the action of the rebound force of the first spring 6 and the second spring 12, the plastic protective cover 8 and the arc-shaped stop block 10 will automatically reset, thereby covering and protecting the plug 4 to reduce the situation where external contaminants adhere and affect the normal use of the plug.
