Description

Technical FieldThe invention relates to a power outlet and more particularly to a power outlet capable of cutting off the power and thus reducing the power consumption.Prior ArtWith the continuous increase in energy consumption and improved environmental awareness, energy-saving technologies are increasingly being used in household appliances and industrial installations. As a key device for power transmission, the function of the sockets for managing power consumption is becoming increasingly important. Conventional power outlets also supply power when the apparatus is in standby or power saving mode, resulting in enormous waste of power. According to statistics, the standby power consumption is 5 to 10% of the total power consumption in households and offices, which results in enormous waste of power and economic losses each year.However, conventional power outlets cannot detect the power consumption status of the device. Even if the device is in standby mode or turned off, the socket continues to supply power, resulting in waste of power. Moreover, conventional receptacles do not have the function of pushing the plug out of the copper receptacle and cannot cause a physical power failure. Therefore, there is an urgent need for power outlets that can shut off power and reduce power consumption to solve the above problems.Utility Model ContentIn order to overcome the above technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a socket which can cut off the power supply to reduce the power consumption, to solve the problem that the conventional socket mentioned in the above background technology cannot recognize the power consumption status of the device and the socket continues to supply power even when the device is in the standby or off state, and the conventional socket does not have the function of pushing the plug out of the copper socket and cannot solve the physical power cut-off problem.In order to achieve the above object, the invention provides the following technical solutions: a socket that can be cut off to reduce power consumption, comprising a housing, a circuit board, a copper socket, and a pop-up structure, wherein the inner wall of the housing is fixedly connected to the circuit board and the top of the circuit board is fixedly connected to the copper socket. The pop-up structure includes a lift plate, two of which are provided, the top of the lift plate being fixedly connected to a ceramic extrusion head, the lift plate being slidably connected to a mounting rod, the mounting rod being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, the lift plate being threadably connected to a threaded rod, the threaded rod being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing, the lower end of the threaded rod being fixedly connected to gear one, gear one being connected to gear two via a chain and the two gears two being fixedly connected to the drive shaft of a micro motor.Preferably, a controller, a current sensor, and a voltage sensor are provided on the circuit board, and the current sensor and the voltage sensor are electrically connected to the controller of the circuit board.Preferably, the copper socket is a five-hole socket, the copper socket is made of tin phosphor bronze and the copper socket is firmly connected to the wiring socket.Preferably, two ceramic extrusion heads are provided, the ceramic extrusion head having the shape of a triangular plug at the front end and the ceramic extrusion head having the shape of a two-pole plug at the rear end.Preferably, both left and right sides of the lifting plate are fixedly connected to slide blocks and the slide blocks are slidably connected to the mounting rods.Preferably, the outer wall of the micromotor is fixedly connected to the mounting seat and the left and right ends of the mounting seat are both fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell.Preferably, the micromotor is electrically connected to a controller of a circuit board, and both the micromotor and the circuit board are supplied with power from an external power supply.The advantageous effects of the utility model compared to the prior art are: 1. the socket which can be shut down to reduce the energy consumption is equipped with a current sensor and a voltage sensor. The copper socket on the circuit board is detected by the current sensor and the voltage sensor to detect current and voltage. The output power of the copper socket is calculated by the processing chip of the printed circuit board. If the output power is below the preset power threshold, the outlet load current from the current sensor and the voltage sensor may be monitored in real time. When it is detected that the apparatus is in the standby or low power consumption state, the power supply is automatically interrupted to reduce the standby power consumption. It is simple to operate and very safe. 2. the socket which can be switched off to reduce the energy consumption is equipped with a pop-up structure. When the output power is below a preset power threshold, the controller of the circuit board turns on the micromotor so that the micromotor drives gear 2 to rotate so that gear 2 drives gear 1 to rotate via a chain so that gear 1 drives the threaded rod to rotate so that the threaded rod moves the lift plate upward so that the lift plate moves the ceramic extrusion head upward so that the ceramic extrusion head presses the plug into the socket and the ceramic material of the ceramic extrusion head can isolate the current. When the ceramic extrusion head moves upward, the controller of the circuit board reverses the micromotor so that the micromotor moves the lifting plate downward, thereby returning the ceramic extrusion head and the plug can be pressed into the copper socket through the pop-up structure, thereby realizing the shutdown of the physical structure, which is safer to use.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGSFIG. 1 is a schematic front view of the utility model; FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of the exploded structure of the shell of the utility model; FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the pop-up structure of the utility model; FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the pop-up structure of the utility model; FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration of the exploded structure of the pop-up structure of the utility model.In the illustration: 1. housing; 2. printed circuit board; 21. current sensor; 22. tension sensor; 3. copper bushing; 31. terminal block; 4. pop-up structure; 41. lifting plate; 42. ceramic extrusion head; 43. slider; 44. mounting rod; 45. threaded rod; 46. sprocket one; 47. chain; 48. sprocket two; 49. micromotor; 410.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention and not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments achieved by those of ordinary skill in the art without performing any curative work are within the scope of the present invention.Please refer to Figs. 1-5. The top of the lift plate 41 is fixedly connected to a ceramic extrusion head 42. The lifting plate 41 is connected in a floating manner to a fastening rod 44. The fixing rod 44 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1. The lever disc 41 is connected to a threaded rod with a thread with a thread with a thread of the thread with the bottom with the thread (the bottom) of the twisted rods of equipment 1 46, the gear wheel 1 46 is connected to a gear wheel 2 48 by a chain 47, and the two gear wheels 2 48 are connected to the drive shaft of a micromotor 49.Further, on the circuit board 2, a controller, a current sensor 21, and a voltage sensor 22 are provided, and the current sensor 21 and the voltage sensor 22 are electrically connected to the controller of the circuit board 2.Moreover, the copper bush 3 is a five-hole bush, the copper bush 3 is made of tin phosphor bronze, and the copper bush 3 is firmly connected to the wiring seat 31.Furthermore, two ceramic extrusion heads 42 are provided, wherein the front ceramic extrusion head 42 has the shape of a triangular plug and the rear ceramic extrusion head 42 has the shape of a two-pole plug.Moreover, the left and right sides of the lifting plate 41 are fixedly connected to sliders 43, and the sliders 43 are slidably connected to the mounting rods 44. The sliders 43 and the fixing rods 44 can prevent the lifting plate 41 from rotating and provide smoother movement of the lifting plate 41.Further, the outer wall of the micro motor 49 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 410, and the left and right ends of the mounting seat 410 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, so that the micro motor 49 is fixed by the mounting seat 410.Moreover, the micro motor 49 is electrically connected to the controller of the circuit board 2, and both the micro motor 49 and the circuit board 2 are supplied with power from an external power source.Operating principle:In use, when the plug is inserted into the socket, the socket operates normally, and the copper socket 3 on the circuit board 2 is detected by the current sensor 21 and the voltage sensor 22 to detect current and voltage, and the output power of the copper socket 3 is calculated by the processing chip of the circuit board 2. When the output power is lower than the preset power threshold, the controller of the circuit board 2 turns on the micro motor 49 so that the micro motor 49 drives the sprocket 2 48 to rotate, and the sprocket 2 48 drives the sprocket 1 46 to rotate through the chain 47 so that the sprocket 1 46 drives the threaded rod 45 to rotate so that the threaded rod 45 drives the elevating plate 41 to move upward, and the elevating plate 41 drives the ceramic extruding head 42 to move upward so that the ceramic extruding head 42 presses the plug into the socket. The ceramic material of the ceramic extrusion head 42 can isolate the current. When the ceramic extrusion head 42 moves upward, the controller of the circuit board 2 inverts the micro motor 49, so that the micro motor 49 drives the elevating plate 41 to move downward, thereby resetting the ceramic extrusion head 42. The plug can be pushed into the copper socket 3 by the pop-up structure 4, thereby realizing the shutdown of the physical structure, making the use more secure. The outlet load current may be monitored in real time by the current sensor 21 and the voltage sensor 22. When it is detected that the apparatus is in the standby or low power consumption state, the power supply is automatically interrupted, thereby reducing the standby power consumption. It is simple to use and offers high safety.It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention may be practiced in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention.Therefore, the embodiments should be considered as illustrative and not restrictive from whatever viewpoint, and the scope of the present invention is limited by the appended claims rather than by the above description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present invention.
