[0034] The present application provides an embodiment of a multi-purpose adaptable automatic reset lock red dot socket.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10. In one embodiment of the present application, the multi-purpose adaptive automatic reset lock red dot socket 10 includes a shell 100, a power connection structure 200 and a locking structure 300. The shell 100 is provided with a slot 121 for inserting a plug. The bottom of the slot 121 protrudes toward the notch to form a connecting shell 122. The connecting shell 122 is provided with a plurality of through holes 122a that pass through the connecting shell 122. The through holes 122a are used for inserting the conductive end of the plug; the power connection structure 200 is arranged in the shell 100, and the power connection structure 200 is arranged corresponding to the through holes 122a; the locking structure 300 0 is disposed in the housing 100, the locking structure 300 includes a locking member 310 and a pressing member 320, the locking member 310 is connected to the pressing member 320, the pressing member 320 at least partially extends out of the housing 100 and forms a pressing end 321a; the locking member 310 is disposed between the power connection structure 200 and the through hole 122a, the locking member 310 is provided with a locking hole 311, and the locking hole 311 is provided corresponding to the through hole 122a; wherein, the locking member 310 has a locking position and a release position, and the locking member 310 can be switched between the locking position and the release position by pressing the pressing end 321a.

[0036] Specifically, the housing 100 is provided with a slot 121, within which a connecting housing 122 is formed. The slot 121 is for receiving a plug, which may be a C14, C16, C20, or C22 plug. The number of slots 121 can be one or more, and each slot 121 can accommodate a specific type of plug. The design of multiple slots 121 facilitates the simultaneous insertion of multiple plug types into a single socket, simplifying wiring connections. Specifically, the number of slots 121 can be two (see FIG. 9 ), allowing the socket to simultaneously accept two plugs. Alternatively, the number of slots 121 can be three (see FIG. 10 ). In other embodiments, the number of slots 121 can be four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more, and there is no specific limitation on the number of slots 121.

[0037] The connection housing 122 is provided with a plurality of through-holes 122a extending therethrough. These through-holes 122a are primarily intended for inserting the conductive ends of a plug. The shape of these through-holes 122a corresponds to the number of conductive ends of the plug. The shape of these through-holes 122a can be straight, circular, or T-shaped, or can be designed based on the specific usage environment of the socket and the shape of the conductive ends of the plug. The shape of these through-holes 122a is not specifically limited herein.

[0038] The number of electrical connection structures 200 corresponds to the number of through-holes 122a, and is also provided in a plurality. These connection structures 200 are positioned correspondingly to the through-holes 122a to ensure that the conductive end of a plug can establish electrical connection with the connection structure 200 after being inserted into the through-hole 122a. A corresponding mounting structure can be provided within the housing 100 to mount the connection structure 200. In this embodiment, the connection structure 200 includes three connection tabs, two of which are positioned opposite each other and perpendicular to and connected to one of the connection tabs. This creates a connection space enclosed by the three connection tabs, facilitating the insertion of high-power or low-power plugs, thereby improving the adaptability of the socket.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 4. In this embodiment, the number of the through holes 122a is set to three, and the number of the power connection structures 200 is also set to three, one power connection structure 200 is connected to the live wire, one power connection structure 200 is connected to the neutral wire, and one power connection structure 200 is connected to the ground wire.

[0040] Referring to Figures 1 to 6, 9, and 10, the locking mechanism includes a locking member 310 and a pressing member 320. The locking member 310 is connected to the pressing member 320. The pressing member 320 at least partially extends out of the housing 100 and forms a pressing end 321a. The locking member 310 is disposed between the power connection structure 200 and the through-hole 122a. The locking member 310 is provided with a locking hole 311, which is corresponding to the through-hole 122a. The locking member 310 has a locking position and a release position. Pressing the pressing end 321a switches the locking member 310 between the locking and release positions. The locking member 310 is provided in a sheet-like shape.

[0041] The above-mentioned locking position refers to the initial position when the socket is not inserted with a plug or has been inserted with a plug (see Figure 5 or Figure 6). At this time, the locking member 310 is inclined relative to the end face of the connecting shell 122 in the shell 100 to ensure that the conductive end of the plug can be locked when the plug is inserted into the through hole 122a and is circuit-connected with the power connection structure 200. That is to say, there is a certain angle between the plane where the locking member 310 is located and the insertion direction of the conductive end of the plug, and the two are not perpendicular to each other; the above-mentioned release position refers to pressing the pressing end 321a of the pressing member 320 so that the plane where the locking member 310 is located is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the conductive end of the plug. At this time, the hole wall of the locking hole 311 of the locking member 310 does not abut the conductive end of the plug, and the locking member 310 does not lock the conductive end of the plug, so that the plug can be smoothly pulled out of the slot 121.

[0042] In this embodiment, the locking member 310 is movably arranged in the housing 100. When the conductive end of the plug is inserted into the through hole 122a, since the locking member 310 is arranged between the power connection structure 200 and the through hole 122a, and the locking member 310 is provided with a locking hole 311, and the locking hole 311 is arranged corresponding to the through hole 122a, the conductive end of the plug will first pass through the locking hole 311 and then contact the power connection structure 200 to achieve circuit connection. At this time, the locking member 310 is in the locking position, and the hole wall of the locking hole 311 of the locking member 310 abuts against the conductive end of the plug to realize the locking function. When the user needs to unplug the plug, since the shell 100 limits the locking member 310 in the unplugging direction of the plug, the locking member 310 will not move in the unplugging direction of the plug. Since the locking member 310 abuts against the conductive end of the plug, the friction between the conductive end of the plug and the locking member 310 is increased, making it difficult for the plug to be unplugged from the socket as a whole, preventing the plug from easily falling off the socket and improving the stability of the plug connection.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1 , at least a portion of the pressing member 320 extends out of the housing 100 and forms a pressing end 321a. This facilitates a user's pressing of the pressing member 320 to switch the locking member 310 from the locked position to the released position, thereby facilitating plug removal. The pressing end 321a is specifically positioned near an edge of the housing 100, and its location is not specifically limited.

[0044] The technical solution of this application improves the adaptability of the socket by providing an insertion slot that can accommodate a C14, C16, C20, or C22 type plug, and providing multiple through-holes 122a on the connecting housing 122 to facilitate the adaptation of the socket to different plugs. At the same time, when the conductive end of the plug passes through the through-hole 122a and abuts against the locking member 310, the hole wall of the locking hole 311 of the locking member 310 abuts against the conductive end of the plug, thereby locking the plug, preventing the plug from easily falling out of the socket, achieving self-locking of the plug, and improving the stability of the plug connection.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6. In one embodiment, the pressing member 320 includes a first pressing rod 321, a connecting rod 322 and a second pressing rod 323. One end of the connecting rod 322 is connected to the first pressing rod 321, and the other end is connected to the second pressing rod 323. The end of the first pressing rod 321 away from the connecting rod 322 extends out of the shell 100 and forms the pressing end 321a. The end of the second pressing rod 323 away from the connecting rod 322 is provided with a clamping groove 323a. The locking member 310 is at least partially clamped in the clamping groove 323a, so that when the pressing member 320 moves, it drives the locking member 310 to switch between the locking position and the release position.

[0046] Specifically, the first pressing rod 321, the connecting rod 322, and the second pressing rod 323 are interconnected and generally U-shaped. The first pressing rod 321, the connecting rod 322, and the second pressing rod 323 are integrally formed. Pressing the first pressing rod 321 causes the connecting rod 322 and the second pressing rod 323 to move, which in turn causes the second pressing rod 323 to move the locking member 310 from the locked position to the released position. This means that the wall of the locking hole 311 of the locking member 310 no longer contacts the conductive end of the plug, allowing the plug to be smoothly removed from the locking hole 311, thereby unlocking the conductive end of the plug.

[0047] More specifically, the locking member 310 is a single-piece structure that is tilted. One end of the locking member 310 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 323a on the second pressing rod 323 to ensure the stability of the installation of the locking member 310.

[0048] Regarding the material of the locking member 310, in one embodiment, the locking member 310 is made of ceramic. If ceramic is selected, when the conductive end of the plug engages with the locking member 310 and is restrained by the locking member 310, the ceramic material of the locking member 310 can shield the arc at that location, reducing the impact of high temperatures generated by the current and ensuring the security of the connection. Because the locking member 310 is made of ceramic, when current passes through the conductive end of the plug, the locking member 310 does not generate magnetism, thereby improving anti-interference performance. In another embodiment, the locking member 310 is made of metal, and the metal locking member 310 achieves self-locking of the plug. The material of the locking member 310 is not specifically limited herein.

[0049] In this embodiment, the end of the first pressing rod 321 extending from the housing 100 (i.e., the pressing end 321a) is red, and the housing 100 is another color. This allows the user to more intuitively and quickly locate the pressing end 321a and unlock the plug. Of course, the entire pressing member 320 can also be red.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 9 and 10. Furthermore, the pressing end 321a can be set on the right side of the shell 100, or on the left side of the shell 100. When the number of the slots 121 is set to multiple, the number of the pressing ends 321a is also correspondingly multiple. Multiple pressing ends 321a can be set together on one side of the shell 100 (for example, the left side or the right side), or can be alternately set on opposite sides of the shell 100. There is no specific limitation on the position of the pressing end 321a on the shell 100.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 4 to 8. In one embodiment, the shell 100 includes a base 110 and a sleeve 120, and the base 110 and the sleeve 120 are snap-connected. The locking structure 300 also includes an elastic member (not shown in the figures), which is arranged in the shell 100, and one end of the elastic member abuts against the base 110, and the other end abuts against the side of the connecting rod 322 away from the pressing end 321a.

[0052] Specifically, the housing 100 includes a base 110 and a sleeve 120. The base 110 and the sleeve 120 enclose an installation space for the electrical connection structure 200 and the locking structure 300. The base 110 and the sleeve 120 are connected by a snap-fit ​​method, which is simple and convenient to operate and helps improve assembly efficiency. An elastic member is disposed within the housing 100, with one end abutting against the base 110 and the other end abutting against the side of the connecting rod 322 facing away from the pressing end 321a. The elastic member can always apply an elastic force to the pressing member 320 to ensure that the locking member 310 is always in the locked position. In particular, after the plug is inserted into the socket, the locking member 310 in the locked position realizes self-locking of the plug, and only by pressing the pressing end 321a of the pressing member 320 can the plug be unlocked and thus unplugged.

[0053] Referring to Figures 4 to 8, in one embodiment, a connecting post 111 is protruding from the base 110. The connecting post 111 is formed with a positioning groove 112 that penetrates the base 110. The power connection structure 200 is disposed in the positioning groove 112, and the end of the power connection structure 200 away from the locking member 310 extends out of the base 110 to form a connecting portion 210; the end of the connecting post 111 away from the base 110 is formed with a mounting step surface 111a, and the locking member 310 is disposed on the mounting step surface 111a.

[0054] Specifically, a connecting column 111 is provided within the housing 100, i.e., on the base 110. Positioning slots 112 are provided on the connecting column 111 to allow the power connection structure 200 to be installed within the housing 100. The majority of the power connection structure 200 is located within the housing 100, while a smaller portion is located outside the housing 100 and forms a connecting portion 210. The connecting portion 210 is used to connect to the power system cable to supply power to the socket. In this embodiment, the number of power connection structures 200 is set to three, corresponding to three connecting portions 210: one connecting portion 210 for connecting to the live wire, one connecting portion 210 for connecting to the neutral wire, and one connecting portion 210 for connecting to the ground wire. A mounting step surface 111a is formed at the end of the connecting column 111 away from the base 110. The mounting step surface 111a is a flat surface for mounting the locking member 310.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8. The shape of the mounting step surface 111a is roughly similar to the shape of the locking member 310. The mounting step surface 111a can be formed at the end of the connecting column 111, or at the end of the connecting column 111 away from the base 110. Preferably, the mounting step surface 111a is formed at the end of the connecting column 111 away from the base 110, and there is a certain distance from the end of the connecting column 111. This distance can provide a movement space for the locking member 310. At the same time, a limiting surface is formed between the limiting step surface and the end surface of the connecting column 111 away from the base 110. The limiting surface can not only provide a distance space for free movement of the locking member 310, but also limit the position of the locking member 310 to prevent the locking member 310 from disengaging from the mounting step surface 111a when switching between the locking position and the release position, causing the locking structure 300 to fail.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , in one embodiment, when the locking member 310 is in the locking position, the locking member 310 and the mounting step surface 111 a are arranged at an angle.

[0057] Specifically, when the locking member 310 is in the locked position, a certain angle is defined between the locking member 310 and the mounting step surface 111a. This allows the wall of the locking hole 311 of the locking member 310 to abut against the conductive end of the plug when the plug is inserted into the socket, increasing the friction between the conductive end of the plug and the locking member 310. This prevents the plug from being easily removed from the socket, thereby achieving the socket-to-plug locking function. This angle is represented by α, as shown in FIG6 .

[0058] Furthermore, the angle range of the angle is 10°~30°. Specifically, when the conductive end of the plug is inserted into the through hole 122a, the conductive end of the plug will first pass through the locking hole 311, and then contact the power connection structure 200 to achieve circuit connection. At this time, the hole wall of the locking hole 311 of the locking member 310 abuts against the conductive end of the plug, and the angle between the locking member 310 and the mounting step surface 111a ranges from 10° to 30°, which is conducive to ensuring that after the conductive end of the plug passes through the locking hole 311, the locking member 310 has a good locking effect on the conductive end of the plug, realizing self-locking of the socket to the plug, preventing the conductive end of the plug from leaving the socket under the action of external force, and ensuring the stability of the connection.
