Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model discloses a power socket for a distribution box with overheat protection, belonging to the field of distribution box technology. Background Technology
[0002] In current applications of traditional distribution boxes, the power sockets they are equipped with generally lack precise overheat monitoring and corresponding protection mechanisms for individual sockets. Specifically, most adopt an overall temperature monitoring or protection design—typically, only a few centralized temperature sensors are installed inside the distribution box. These sensors cannot be placed close to each individual socket, and the actual loads of different sockets vary greatly (e.g., some are connected to high-power devices such as air conditioners and electric water heaters, while others are only connected to low-power devices such as desk lamps and chargers). This means that localized overheating caused by poor contact or overload in a single socket is masked by the overall temperature environment within the distribution box, making it difficult to detect temperature anomalies promptly and individually. Furthermore, this overall design also suffers from delayed alarm response; by the time an individual socket shows early signs of overheating, such as softened insulation or slight deformation of the plastic casing, the alarm may be delayed. In such cases, centralized sensors cannot capture signals. Alarms are only triggered when the overheating situation worsens to the point where the overall temperature rises significantly or even smoke appears. By this time, the best intervention opportunity has been missed, and a series of safety hazards can easily arise if the overheating of a single socket is not detected in time. This can not only accelerate the aging of the wiring and induce short circuits, but in severe cases, it can also ignite the insulation material inside the distribution box due to overheating, ultimately leading to a fire. Moreover, once the protection is triggered, the main circuit breaker usually trips, causing all sockets in the entire distribution box to lose power, affecting the normal use of non-faulty sockets. At the same time, it is impossible to quickly locate the faulty socket, which brings great inconvenience to subsequent maintenance. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing traditional distribution box sockets being unable to accurately monitor the temperature of multiple independent socket bodies on a one-to-one basis, and lacking a timely and targeted alarm mechanism when the temperature is abnormal.

[0016] The following is based on the appendix Figure 1-4 Further explanation of this utility model: The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0019] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the first embodiment of this utility model provides a power socket with overheat protection for a distribution box based on the prior art, including: a socket body 20, of which multiple socket bodies 20 are respectively installed at multiple mounting positions 101 in the distribution box 10; a circuit breaker assembly, which includes a circuit breaker shunt trip unit and a circuit breaker unit, with the socket body 20 electrically connected to the circuit breaker unit; a controller, which is electrically connected to the circuit breaker shunt trip unit; and a temperature sensor 40, of which multiple temperature sensors 40 are respectively configured to correspond one-to-one with multiple socket bodies 20, with each temperature sensor 40 connected to its corresponding socket body 20. The socket body 20 is connected, and each temperature sensor 40 is electrically connected to the socket body 20. The temperature sensor 40 is used to collect the temperature of the socket body 20. There are multiple smoke alarms 50, and each smoke alarm 50 is set one-to-one with a corresponding socket body 20. The multiple smoke alarms 50 are set adjacent to their respective socket bodies 20 and are installed on the mounting position 101. Each smoke alarm 50 is electrically connected to the controller and is used to generate smoke. When the temperature sensor 40 detects an abnormal temperature of the socket body 20, the controller generates an alarm command.
[0020] In this embodiment, by installing multiple socket bodies 20 in multiple mounting positions 101 of the distribution box 10, independent layout and management of each socket are achieved. Multiple temperature sensors 40 are connected one-to-one with multiple socket bodies 20, enabling accurate and real-time acquisition of the temperature of each socket body 20. This ensures that local overheating of a single socket can be individually detected, avoiding the problem of local anomalies being masked in traditional overall monitoring. Multiple smoke detectors 50 are installed one-to-one with multiple socket bodies 20 and adjacent to each other in mounting positions 101, forming a dual sensing system with temperature monitoring, enhancing the sensitivity to abnormal conditions around the socket body 20. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 40 and the shunt trip unit in the circuit breaker assembly. When the temperature sensor 40 detects an abnormal temperature of the socket body 20, it can promptly generate an alarm command. Combined with the electrical connection between the socket body 20 and the circuit breaker unit, targeted responses to abnormal sockets can be achieved. This ensures both the accuracy of monitoring and the timeliness of alarms, while also preventing a single socket failure from affecting other normal sockets, significantly improving the safety and reliability of the power sockets in the distribution box.
[0021] Furthermore, the power socket of the distribution box with overheat protection also includes: a display 60, there are multiple displays 60, the multiple displays 60 are arranged one-to-one with the multiple socket bodies 20, the multiple displays 60 are arranged adjacent to the corresponding socket bodies 20, the multiple displays 60 are respectively located above the mounting position 101, and each display 60 is electrically connected to the controller.
[0022] In this embodiment, multiple displays 60 are arranged one-to-one with multiple socket bodies 20 and adjacent to each other, located above the mounting position 101. Each display 60 is electrically connected to the controller, allowing the controller to visualize in real-time the temperature information and abnormal states of the socket bodies 20 collected by the temperature sensor 40. Users can intuitively and quickly locate which specific socket body 20 has a temperature abnormality. Combined with the warning from the smoke alarm 50 and the alarm commands from the controller, this not only enhances the transparency of real-time monitoring of the status of each socket body 20 but also significantly improves the efficiency of fault diagnosis and intervention. This allows users to more easily grasp the operating status of each socket, further ensuring the safety and ease of management of the distribution box 10 and each socket body 20.
[0023] In an exemplary embodiment, the power socket of the distribution box with overheat protection further includes: an audible and visual alarm module 30, which includes multiple audible and visual alarm modules 30, each of which is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with a socket body 20. The multiple audible and visual alarm modules 30 are arranged adjacent to the corresponding socket body 20, and the multiple audible and visual alarm modules 30 are respectively installed on the mounting position 101. Each audible and visual alarm module 30 is electrically connected to the controller.
[0024] In this embodiment, multiple audible and visual alarm modules 30 are installed one-to-one and adjacent to multiple socket bodies 20 on the mounting position 101. Each module is electrically connected to the controller. When the controller detects an abnormal temperature of a socket body 20 through the temperature sensor 40, the corresponding audible and visual alarm module 30 can simultaneously emit sound and light signals. This dual warning method is easier for users to notice than a single alarm, especially in noisy environments or when visibility is poor, it can quickly attract attention. With the monitoring of the smoke alarm 50 and the instructions of the controller, it can accurately point to the abnormal socket body 20, greatly improving the fault location speed and further strengthening the safety protection level of the distribution box 10 and each socket body 20, allowing users to intervene in abnormal situations more promptly.
[0025] Specifically, multiple smoke exhaust holes 102 are provided at the mounting position 101 corresponding to the smoke alarm 50, and the audible and visual alarm module 30 is located above the smoke exhaust holes. The multiple smoke exhaust holes 102 are used to exhaust the smoke generated by the smoke alarm 50.
[0026] In this embodiment, the smoke vent 102 can promptly expel the smoke generated by the smoke detector 50, preventing smoke from accumulating inside the installation position 101. This prevents smoke from interfering with the normal operation of adjacent socket bodies 20 and also prevents smoke from corroding other components within the installation position 101 or affecting their operational stability. Simultaneously, the design of the audible and visual alarm module 30 located above the smoke vent 102 effectively avoids the problem of smoke obscuring its light signal and weakening its sound propagation. This ensures that when the controller detects an abnormal temperature in a socket body 20 via the temperature sensor 40 and triggers the corresponding audible and visual alarm module 30, the dual audible and visual warnings are clearly and unobstructedly transmitted to the user. This allows the user to quickly detect the fault and accurately locate the abnormal socket body 20, further optimizing the safety warning effect and improving the overall protection reliability and fault response efficiency of the power sockets in the distribution box.
[0027] Furthermore, the power socket of the distribution box with overheat protection also includes: a power supply, which is electrically connected to the controller, temperature sensor 40, smoke alarm 50, display 60, circuit breaker shunt trip unit and audible and visual alarm module 30.
[0028] In this embodiment, the power supply and controller, temperature sensor 40, smoke alarm 50, display 60, circuit breaker shunt trip unit, and audible and visual alarm module 30 are all electrically connected, providing stable and continuous power support for these core components. This ensures that the temperature sensor 40 can accurately collect the temperature of each socket body 20 in real time, the smoke alarm 50 can reliably operate when the corresponding socket body 20 is abnormal, the display 60 stably displays the status of each socket, the audible and visual alarm module 30 promptly issues a clear warning at the installation position 101, and the controller and circuit breaker shunt trip unit can quickly respond to temperature abnormalities and execute commands. This avoids monitoring interruptions, alarm failures, or control delays caused by unstable power supply, ensuring the reliability of the coordinated operation of all components in the distribution box 10 from the power source, and further improving the stability and safety of the entire overheat protection system.
[0029] In this embodiment, a one-way waterproof and breathable membrane is provided inside the smoke exhaust hole 102.
[0030] In this embodiment, the one-way waterproof and breathable membrane allows the smoke generated by the smoke detector 50 to be smoothly discharged through the smoke vent 102, ensuring that the smoke warning function is not obstructed. At the same time, it effectively blocks external moisture from entering the installation position 101 through the smoke vent 102, preventing moisture from contacting or corroding the socket body 20, temperature sensor 40, audible and visual alarm module 30 and other components on the installation position 101. This prevents problems such as short circuits and component damage caused by water ingress. While ensuring unobstructed smoke exhaust, it also strengthens the waterproof protection of the installation position 101, further improving the stability and safety of the entire power socket system in the distribution box.
