Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterproof socket technology, specifically to a waterproof socket. Background Technology

[0002] In humid environments, waterproof sockets must ensure waterproof performance while also being easy to plug in and unplug.

[0003] Utility model patent CN219554008U discloses a waterproof and height-adjustable socket. The socket includes a cover plate mounted on top of a bracket and rotatably connected to the bracket. A detachable disassembly block is provided at the end of the cover plate. A waterproof gasket is installed inside the disassembly block on the cover plate. When the cover plate is placed on top of the bracket, a first waterproof gasket and the cover plate's ribs are interlocked, and the waterproof gasket and the first waterproof gasket are also interlocked, forming a sealed structure. This utility model also includes a second waterproof gasket installed in a groove on the upper surface of the bracket, and a waterproof gasket at the end of the cover plate. In use, the cover plate is closed, causing the ribs of the cover plate and the waterproof gasket to interlock, and the waterproof gasket and the waterproof gasket to interlock, forming a complete sealing ring. This provides excellent waterproofing and prevents water mist intrusion.

[0004] Regarding the relevant technologies in the aforementioned public documents, the inventors have discovered the following defects: The aforementioned sockets are designed to accommodate plugs of different specifications. Some products are designed with a movable socket body, but tools or force are required during the movement and adjustment process. Furthermore, the inward-retracting structure of the socket makes it difficult to insert fingers to apply force when plugging or unplugging the plug, resulting in extremely poor ease of operation. The flip-type protective cover is mostly made of hard plastic material, which is prone to aging and embrittlement when exposed to humid, high and low temperature environments for a long time, leading to a decrease in sealing performance. At the same time, the flip cover occupies a large space when flipped, interfering with the plug and wire, further affecting the smoothness of plugging and unplugging operations. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a waterproof socket that effectively solves the problems of existing movable sockets that adapt to different plug specifications, which require tools or force to move and adjust, and whose inward retraction makes it difficult to insert fingers to apply force when plugging or unplugging. Flip-type protective covers are mostly made of hard plastic, which is prone to aging and embrittlement in humid and high / low temperature environments, resulting in a decrease in sealing performance. Furthermore, they occupy a lot of space when flipped and interfere with the plug and wire, affecting the smoothness of plugging and unplugging.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a waterproof socket, including a waterproof socket, a fixing component, a housing, and a locking block. The fixing component is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the waterproof socket. The housing is fitted onto the surface of the waterproof socket. The locking block is fixedly connected to the left side of the waterproof socket and engages with the inner wall of the fixing component. A sealing and protective mechanism is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the housing. The sealing and protective mechanism includes a connecting rope, which is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the housing. The other end of the connecting rope is fixedly connected to a sealing frame, and a folded silicone pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing frame.

[0008] Furthermore, a permanent magnet is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the outer shell, and a permanent magnet is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing frame.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing groove is provided on the right side of the outer shell, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing groove. Several sealing rings are provided and are distributed at equal distances. The sealing rings are arranged in an arc shape, and the two ends of the sealing rings are bent in opposite directions.

[0010] Furthermore, a second sealing ring is fixedly connected to the left side of the sealing frame. Several second sealing rings are provided and are distributed at equal intervals. The second sealing rings are arc-shaped and the two ends of the second sealing rings are bent in opposite directions.

[0011] Furthermore, a wiring groove is provided at the bottom right side of the outer casing, and a sealing block that works in conjunction with the wiring groove is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the sealing frame.

[0012] Furthermore, a sealing ring three is fixedly connected to the left side of the sealing block, and a sealing ring four is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the wiring groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the sealing ring three and the sealing ring four are arranged in a wavy shape, and the ends of the sealing ring three and the sealing ring four are forked.

[0014] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the right side of the folded silicone pad.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:

[0017] I. This utility model features a sealing frame that can be operated by magnetically opening and closing the frame (with permanent magnet one and permanent magnet two working together), requiring no tools and requiring minimal force. When the sealing frame is opened, the waterproof socket hole is fully exposed, avoiding the difficulty of inserting fingers caused by the traditional inward-shrinking structure. At the same time, the folding silicone pad can protrude outward according to the size of the plug, adapting to different plug sizes and further improving the convenience and accuracy of plugging and unplugging operations.

[0018] II. This utility model achieves quick and easy opening and closing of the sealing frame through the magnetic attraction of permanent magnet one and permanent magnet two, which can be operated without tools, greatly improving ease of use. The magnetic attraction provides a stable closing force, ensuring that the sealing frame fits tightly against the outer shell when closed, effectively enhancing waterproof sealing performance. At the same time, the magnetic structure reduces mechanical wear, extends the service life of the socket, and avoids the loosening or failure problems caused by long-term use of traditional flip-type protective covers.

[0019] Third, this utility model, through the arc-shaped design of the sealing ring and the opposite bending direction, forms a multi-layered staggered sealing structure, which can effectively prevent moisture from entering from the outside. The equidistant distribution ensures uniform sealing and improves the overall reliability and stability of the seal. This design can maintain sealing performance when facing continuous moisture erosion or minor impacts, avoiding the problem of easy failure of a single sealing layer, and meeting long-term waterproofing requirements.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0029] See attached document Figure 1-5 A waterproof socket includes a waterproof socket 1, a fixing member 2, a housing 3, and a locking block 4. The fixing member 2 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the waterproof socket 1. The housing 3 is fitted onto the surface of the waterproof socket 1. The locking block 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the waterproof socket 1 and engages with the inner wall of the fixing member 2. A sealing and protective mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the housing 3. The sealing and protective mechanism 5 includes a connecting rope 51, which is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the housing 3. The other end of the connecting rope 51 is fixedly connected to a sealing frame 52, and a folded silicone pad 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing frame 52.

[0030] Furthermore, a permanent magnet 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the outer casing 3, and a permanent magnet 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing frame 52.

[0031] Through the above solution, the magnetic attraction between permanent magnet 6 and permanent magnet 7 enables the sealing frame 52 to open and close quickly and easily without the need for tools, greatly improving ease of use. The magnetic attraction provides a stable closing force, ensuring that the sealing frame 52 fits tightly against the outer shell 3 when closed, effectively enhancing waterproof sealing performance. At the same time, the magnetic structure reduces mechanical wear, extends the lifespan of the socket, and avoids the loosening or failure problems caused by long-term use of traditional flip-type protective covers.

[0032] Furthermore, a sealing groove 8 is provided on the right side of the outer casing 3. A sealing ring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing groove 8. Several sealing rings 9 are provided and are distributed at equal distances. The sealing rings 9 are arranged in an arc shape and the two ends of the sealing rings 9 are bent in opposite directions.

[0033] Through the above scheme, the arc-shaped design and opposite bending directions of sealing ring 9 form a multi-layered, staggered sealing structure, effectively preventing moisture from entering from the outside. The equidistant distribution ensures uniform sealing, improving the overall reliability and stability of the seal. This design maintains sealing performance even under continuous moisture erosion or minor impacts, avoiding the problem of single-layer seal failure and meeting long-term waterproofing requirements.

[0034] Furthermore, a second sealing ring 10 is fixedly connected to the left side of the sealing frame 52. Several second sealing rings 10 are provided and are distributed at equal intervals. The second sealing rings 10 are arranged in an arc shape, and the two ends of the second sealing rings 10 are bent in opposite directions.

[0035] Through the above scheme, sealing ring 2 10 cooperates with sealing ring 1 9. When the sealing frame 52 is closed, sealing ring 2 10 is inserted into the sealing groove 8, forming a double sealing barrier with sealing ring 1 9 arranged in an alternating pattern. This structure further enhances the sealing effect, preventing moisture from penetrating through gaps, and is especially suitable for sealing requirements in humid and high / low temperature environments, improving the waterproof rating and durability of the socket.

[0036] Furthermore, a wiring groove 11 is provided on the bottom right side of the outer casing 3, and a sealing block 12 that works in conjunction with the wiring groove 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the sealing frame 52.

[0037] Through the above solution, the cable tray 11 allows cables to pass through, while the sealing block 12 simultaneously enters the cable tray 11 when the sealing frame 52 is closed, limiting and initially sealing the cables. This solves the problem of water easily entering the cable area in traditional sockets, improving overall waterproof performance. At the same time, the cable tray 11 facilitates cable management, reduces interference during plugging and unplugging, and improves operational smoothness.

[0038] Furthermore, a sealing ring 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the sealing block 12, and a sealing ring 14 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the wiring groove 11.

[0039] Through the above solution, sealing rings 13 and 14 form a specialized sealing structure at the wire passage, effectively preventing water vapor from entering the socket from the wiring channel 11. This design ensures that the seal integrity is maintained even with wires present, avoiding the problem of reduced waterproof performance caused by wire openings in traditional sockets.

[0040] Furthermore, sealing ring 3 13 and sealing ring 4 14 are arranged in a wavy shape, and the ends of sealing ring 3 13 and sealing ring 4 14 are forked.

[0041] Through the above design, the wavy shape allows sealing rings 3 (13) and 4 (14) to adapt to wires of different thicknesses, providing a tighter fit. The bifurcated end structure forms a multi-layered sealing barrier, further enhancing the ability to block moisture, making it particularly suitable for humid or dusty environments, and improving the reliability and adaptability of the seal.

[0042] Furthermore, a handle 15 is fixedly connected to the right side of the folded silicone pad 53.

[0043] Through the above design, the handle 15 facilitates user gripping and operation of the sealing frame 52, easily enabling opening and closing without the need for strenuous pulling, thus improving ease of use and user experience. Simultaneously, the handle 15 design avoids potential damage from direct contact with the folded silicone pad 53, extending the service life of the sealing components.

[0044] Working principle: First, pinch the handle 15 or the sealing frame 52 and pull it to the right. This breaks the attraction between the permanent magnet 6 on the outer shell 3 and the permanent magnet 7 on the sealing frame 52. The connecting rope 51 will always hold the sealing frame 52 to prevent it from falling or being lost. At the same time, the socket of the waterproof socket 1 is fully exposed, making it easy to quickly position the plug when inserting or removing it. After inserting the plug into the waterproof socket 1, if the plug is large, it will compress and fold the silicone pad 53 to make it bulge outward, thus adapting to different plug sizes without affecting the insertion and removal operation. Then, press the wire connecting the plug into the cable tray 11 to complete the wire arrangement.

[0045] Next, hold the sealing frame 52 close to the outer shell 3. With the mutual attraction of permanent magnet 6 and permanent magnet 7, the sealing frame 52 is magnetically positioned and fixed. At this time, the sealing ring 10 on the sealing frame 52 will be precisely inserted into the sealing groove 8 of the outer shell 3, forming a multi-layered sealing structure with the sealing ring 9 in the sealing groove 8. Since both the sealing ring 9 and the sealing ring 10 are arc-shaped and their two ends bend in opposite directions, they can block water vapor from entering through the arc structure and form a double sealing protection for the outer and inner sides of the outer shell 3 respectively.

[0046] With the wire inside the cable tray 11, the closing of the sealing frame 52 will cause the sealing block 12 to simultaneously enter the cable tray 11, limiting the right side of the wire. The sealing ring 14 on the inner wall of the cable tray 11 and the sealing ring 13 on the sealing block 12 cooperate with each other to seal the edge of the wire. The sealing rings 13 and 14 adopt a wave-shaped design, which can adapt to wires of different thicknesses through their own folding. The forked structure at their ends can form a multi-layer sealing barrier when in contact with the wire, effectively preventing water vapor from entering the socket through the cable tray 11, ensuring the stability of the overall waterproof performance.

[0047] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
