Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of new energy electric vehicle accessories, specifically relating to a new energy vehicle discharge socket. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry and the upgrading of consumer demand, automobiles have gradually evolved from simple means of transportation into multifunctional mobile spaces integrating travel, office work, and leisure. Users' power needs in and around the vehicle are becoming increasingly diversified, extending beyond traditional car chargers for small digital devices such as mobile phones and navigation systems to include medium- and high-power electrical appliances such as laptops, portable home appliances, outdoor camping equipment, and emergency tools. Especially in scenarios such as long-distance travel, outdoor camping, and mobile office work, users' demand for a continuous and stable AC power supply is becoming increasingly urgent. An in-vehicle power outlet is a 220V AC outlet located inside the vehicle, allowing owners and passengers to use small electrical devices, such as laptops, while also providing charging services. To improve electrical safety, a microswitch is usually built into the outlet. When an electrical device (i.e., a plug) is inserted, the microswitch is triggered to close, sending a power supply signal request to the vehicle's power management system. The vehicle then powers the outlet, ensuring it is not energized when no electrical device is connected, thus greatly improving safety. The disadvantages of traditional in-vehicle discharge sockets are: 1. The mechanism that triggers the micro switch has poor stability; 2. The socket surface is exposed and does not have waterproof function. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a more stable waterproof in-vehicle discharge socket with a built-in micro switch.
