Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power supply equipment technology, and in particular to an outdoor ground-mounted power socket. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, with people's pursuit of a higher quality of outdoor life and the continuous increase in various outdoor facilities, outdoor ground-plug power outlets have been widely used. For example, in parks, outdoor campsites, open-air commercial plazas for events, construction sites, and rural tourism areas, there is a need to provide convenient power access for various electrical devices (such as lights, electric barbecue grills, mobile phone charging devices, and small audio equipment). Outdoor ground-plug power outlets, with their ability to be directly inserted into the ground, saving space and facilitating connection to outdoor facilities, have become important equipment for meeting these power needs.

[0003] In existing technology, outdoor ground-mounted power sockets are fixed in place by inserting a ground plug into the ground, and the surface of the ground plug is usually designed to be conical. The ground plug is inserted into the ground through the tip of the cone, and the contact friction between the conical surface and the soil is used to prevent the ground plug from tipping over. However, the friction between the cylindrical surface and the ground is limited, so the stability of the ground plug is relatively poor. When subjected to external forces, the socket is prone to wobbling around the contact point between the ground plug and the ground, and under large external forces, it can still tip over. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an outdoor ground-mounted power socket that is highly stable and not easily tipped over.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An outdoor ground-mounted power socket, comprising:

[0007] The socket body includes multiple socket modules, which are arranged along a first direction and are used to supply power to external electrical equipment.

[0008] A grounding plug is disposed below the socket body in the first direction and connected to the socket body. The grounding plug includes multiple grounding plates that are interconnected and are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the grounding plug. Multiple undercut ribs are connected between adjacent grounding plates and are arranged at intervals along the first direction. Each undercut rib is housed within the area enclosed by the multiple grounding plates in the circumference of the grounding plug and is inclined.

[0009] Understandably, by setting multiple ground-insertion plates on the ground-insertion pole and connecting them with inclined inverted reinforcing bars between the multiple ground-insertion plates, the soil can press down on the inverted reinforcing bars when the ground-insertion pole is inserted into the ground, so that the ground-insertion pole will not tip over when subjected to external forces.

[0010] In one embodiment, a plurality of the undercut ribs between two adjacent grounding patches are combined to form an undercut rib group;

[0011] In the multiple sets of underwire ribs, each underwire rib faces the same direction, and in different sets of underwire ribs, adjacent underwire ribs are positioned at the same height on the grounding rod.

[0012] In one embodiment, the outer diameter of the grounding rod gradually increases from bottom to top along the first direction, and then remains constant.

[0013] It is understandable that by setting the outer diameter of the ground stake to gradually increase from bottom to top along the first direction and then keep it constant, and forming a tip at the lowest point of the ground stake along the first direction, the resistance when inserting the ground stake into the ground can be reduced by inserting the ground stake into the ground through the tip, making the process of inserting the ground stake into the ground easier.

[0014] In one embodiment, the grounding pole is configured as a single, integrated structure.

[0015] Understandably, by configuring the grounding plug as a one-piece structure, it can be molded in one piece through processes such as injection molding, which facilitates the manufacturing of the grounding plug.

[0016] In one embodiment, the outdoor ground-mounted power socket further includes a connecting rod, the ground-mounted rod being detachably connected to the socket body via the connecting rod;

[0017] One end of the connecting rod is threaded to the socket body, and the ground plug can be inserted into the other end of the connecting rod, so that the ground plug and the connecting rod abut and limit each other.

[0018] Understandably, by setting up a connecting rod, the ground plug is connected to the socket body through the connecting rod. When the ground plug is inserted into the ground, the connecting rod is above the ground, and the socket body is connected to the top of the connecting rod, which increases the height of the socket body, so that users do not need to squat down when using the socket body, thus improving the convenience of users when using the socket body.

[0019] In one embodiment, the outdoor ground-mounted power socket further includes a power cord and a power indicator light, wherein the power cord is connected in parallel with a plurality of the socket modules for electrical connection to an external power source;

[0020] The power indicator light is electrically connected to the power cord and is used to indicate whether the power cord is powered on or off.

[0021] Understandably, by setting up a power indicator light that is electrically connected to the power cord, the power cord's on or off status can be clearly displayed. Users can use the power indicator light to promptly understand the power status of the outdoor floor-mounted power socket, thus improving the user experience.

[0022] In one embodiment, the outdoor ground-mounted power socket further includes a power cord and a grounding indicator light, wherein the power cord is connected in parallel with a plurality of the socket modules for electrical connection to an external power source;

[0023] The grounding indicator light is electrically connected to the power line and is used to indicate the grounding status of the power line.

[0024] Understandably, by installing a grounding indicator light that is electrically connected to the power cord, the grounding status of the power cord can be displayed intuitively. Users can use the grounding indicator light to promptly determine whether there is a grounding fault in the outdoor ground-plug power outlet, thus improving the safety of users when using outdoor ground-plug power outlets.

[0025] In one embodiment, the socket body further includes a housing and a plurality of protective covers, wherein the plurality of protective covers and the plurality of socket modules are all mounted on the housing;

[0026] Each of the socket modules corresponds to one of the protective covers, and the protective covers are rotatably connected to the housing to cover the corresponding socket module's insertion hole.

[0027] It is understandable that by covering the sockets on unused socket modules with protective covers, external dust, particles, water and other debris can be prevented from entering the sockets, thus preventing circuit failures in the corresponding socket modules and making the outdoor ground-mounted power socket suitable for use in outdoor working conditions.

[0028] In one embodiment, the socket body further includes a housing, on which a plurality of socket modules are mounted;

[0029] The outer diameter of the housing remains consistent along the first direction.

[0030] In one embodiment, the socket body further includes a housing, which includes a housing head, a housing main part, and a housing tail part. The housing head and the housing tail part are disposed on the upper and lower sides of the housing main part, and are respectively connected to the housing body to form an integral structure.

[0031] The end face of the housing head away from the main body of the housing is arc-shaped, and multiple socket modules are installed on the main body of the housing. The outer diameter of the housing tail gradually increases from top to bottom along the first direction, and then remains consistent.

[0032] Compared with existing technologies, by setting multiple ground-insertion plates on the ground-insertion pole and connecting them with inclined inverted ribs between the multiple ground-insertion plates, the soil can press down on the inverted ribs when the ground-insertion pole is inserted into the ground, so that the ground-insertion pole will not tip over when subjected to external forces.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 4This application provides an outdoor ground-mounted power socket 100, which includes: a socket body 10 and a grounding rod 20. The socket body 10 includes multiple socket modules 11, which are arranged along a first direction and are used to supply power to external electrical equipment. The grounding rod 20 is located below the socket body 10 in the first direction and is connected to the socket body 10. The grounding rod 20 includes multiple grounding pieces 21, which are interconnected and arranged at intervals around the circumference of the grounding rod 20. Multiple undercut ribs 22 are connected between adjacent grounding pieces 21, and the multiple undercut ribs 22 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. Each undercut rib 22 is housed within the area enclosed by the multiple grounding pieces 21 in the circumferential direction of the grounding rod 20, and each undercut rib 22 is inclined.

[0046] It should be noted that by setting multiple ground-insertion plates 21 on the ground-insertion pole 20 and connecting them to each other, and by setting inclined inverted reinforcing bars 22 between the multiple ground-insertion plates 21, the soil can press against the inverted reinforcing bars 22 when the ground-insertion pole 20 is inserted into the ground, so that the ground-insertion pole 20 will not tip over when subjected to external forces. In addition, the ground-insertion pole 20 contacts the soil underground through the ground-insertion plates 21 and the inverted reinforcing bars 22, which increases the contact area and thus increases the friction, which also prevents the ground-insertion pole 20 from tipping over when subjected to external forces.

[0047] Here, the number of socket modules 11 can be configured to be 3, 4, 5, etc. Socket module 11 includes conductive pieces that form interfaces for live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire, and insulating brackets for fixing the conductive pieces. This type of technology is common in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the socket body 10 further includes a housing 12, on which a plurality of socket modules 11 are mounted; wherein the outer diameter of the housing 12 remains consistent along a first direction.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment, the socket body 10 further includes a housing 12, which includes a housing head 121, a housing main portion 122, and a housing tail portion 123. The housing head 121 and the housing tail portion 123 are disposed on the upper and lower sides of the housing main portion 122 and are respectively connected to the housing body 12 as an integral structure. The end face of the housing head 121 away from the housing main portion 122 is arc-shaped. Multiple socket modules 11 are installed on the housing main portion 122. The outer diameter of the housing tail portion 123 gradually increases from top to bottom along a first direction and then remains consistent.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the socket body 10 further includes a housing 12 and multiple protective covers 13, with the multiple protective covers 13 and multiple socket modules 11 all mounted on the housing 12. Each socket module 11 corresponds one-to-one with a protective cover 13, and the protective cover 13 is rotatably connected to the housing 12 to cover the corresponding socket module 11's socket hole. In other words, in this embodiment, the socket body 10 uses the protective cover 13 to cover the socket hole of the unused socket module 11, thus preventing external dust, particles, water, and other debris from entering the socket hole of the socket module 11, preventing circuit failure in the corresponding socket module 11, and making the outdoor ground-mounted power socket 100 suitable for outdoor use.

[0051] In this embodiment, the protective cover 13 and the housing 12 are connected by a hinge structure. The hinge structure includes a hinge shaft 131 and a hinge seat 132. The hinge shaft 131 is fixed on the protective cover 13, and the hinge seat 132 is fixed on the housing 12. The hinge shaft and the hinge seat are rotatably connected, and the protective cover 13 can rotate freely around the hinge shaft 131.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, multiple underwires between two adjacent grounding plates 21 form an underwire group; each underwire 22 in the multiple underwire groups faces the same direction, and adjacent underwires 22 in different underwire groups are positioned at the same height on the grounding rod 20. Here, the number of grounding plates 21 in the grounding rod 20 can be configured to be multiple, such as 2, 3, 4, etc., and multiple underwire groups between two adjacent grounding plates 21; wherein, an underwire group can include multiple underwires 22, such as 4, 5, 6, etc.

[0053] In this embodiment, the ground insertion rod 20 includes four ground insertion pieces 21 and four sets of inverted ribs, each set of inverted ribs including six inverted ribs 22.

[0054] In one embodiment, the outer diameter of the ground insertion rod 20 gradually increases from bottom to top along a first direction, and then remains constant. Thus, by setting the outer diameter of the ground insertion rod 20 to gradually increase from bottom to top along the first direction and then remain constant, the outer diameter of the ground insertion rod 20 is smallest at its lowest point along the first direction. The ground insertion rod 20 is inserted into the ground through its smallest outer diameter, which reduces the resistance generated when the ground insertion rod 20 is inserted into the ground, making the process easier.

[0055] Preferably, the ground plug 20 is configured as a one-piece structure. By configuring the ground plug 20 as a one-piece structure, it can be manufactured in one piece through processes such as injection molding, making the manufacturing of the ground plug 20 simpler.

[0056] In one embodiment, the outdoor ground-mounted power socket 100 further includes a connecting rod 30. The ground plug 20 is detachably connected to the socket body 10 via the connecting rod 30. One end of the connecting rod 30 is threaded to the socket body 10, and the ground plug 20 can be inserted into the other end of the connecting rod 30, thus limiting the contact between the ground plug 20 and the connecting rod 30. By providing the connecting rod 30, the ground plug 20 is connected to the socket body 10. When the ground plug 20 is inserted into the ground, the connecting rod 30 is above the ground, and the socket body 10 is connected to the top of the connecting rod 30, increasing the height of the socket body 10. This eliminates the need for users to squat down when using the socket body 10, thus improving user convenience. It is understood that the insertion and engagement of the ground plug 20 and the connecting rod 30 can be achieved using threaded connections, elastic snap-fit ​​connections, magnetic connections, etc., to realize the detachable connection between the connecting rod 30 and the ground plug 20.

[0057] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 30 has a cavity 31 at its lower end along its length direction, and two connecting holes 32 symmetrically distributed relative to the connecting rod 30 on its peripheral wall, and two grooves 33 symmetrically distributed relative to the connecting rod 30 communicating with the connecting holes 32; the grounding rod 20 has two symmetrically arranged protrusions 34 at its upper end along its length direction. By aligning the protrusions 34 with the grooves 33 and inserting the grounding rod 20, the connecting rod 30 and the grounding rod 20 form a detachable rotating snap-fit ​​engagement, thereby realizing the connection between the grounding rod 20 and the connecting rod 30; wherein, the cavity 31 is used to accommodate the upper end of the grounding rod 20.

[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the outdoor floor-mounted power socket 100 also includes a power cord 40 and a power indicator light 50. The power cord 40 is connected in parallel with multiple socket modules 11 for electrical connection to an external power source. The power indicator light 50 is electrically connected to the power cord 40 and indicates whether the power cord 40 is powered on or off. It is understandable that by setting the power indicator light 50, which is electrically connected to the power cord 40, the power-on or power-off status of the power cord 40 can be displayed intuitively. Users can promptly understand the power-on or power-off status of the outdoor floor-mounted power socket 100 through the power indicator light 50, improving the user experience of using the outdoor floor-mounted power socket 100.

[0059] In one embodiment, the outdoor ground-plug power socket 100 further includes a grounding indicator light 60. The power cord 40 is connected in parallel with multiple socket modules 11 for electrical connection to an external power source. The grounding indicator light 60 is electrically connected to the power cord 40 and indicates the grounding status of the power cord 40. By providing the grounding indicator light 60 electrically connected to the power cord 40, the grounding status of the power cord 40 can be displayed intuitively. Users can use the grounding indicator light 60 to promptly determine whether a grounding fault has occurred in the outdoor ground-plug power socket 100, thus improving the safety of users when using the outdoor ground-plug power socket 100.

[0060] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0061] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
