Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a socket, and more particularly, to a socket.

Background

The socket, also called power socket and switch socket, is an electrical device providing power interface for electrical appliances.

The socket is internally provided with a plug bush, and when the plug is connected with the socket, the pin of the plug is positioned in the plug bush and is contacted with the plug bush. When the plug is pulled out, the pin of the plug is pulled out from the plug bush and separated from the plug bush. The insert generally comprises two opposing portions defining a nip therebetween. When the socket is connected with the plug, the pins of the plug are clamped in the clamping grooves.

The amount of distance between the opposing portions of the sleeve affects the connection of the plug. If the distance is too small, the grip of the socket on the pin is high, which may make it difficult to pull the pin out of the socket. If the distance is too large, poor contact between the pins and the plug sleeves can be caused, and even the plug is loosened, so that the connection between the plug and the socket is interrupted.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a socket according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the socket includes a base 10, a socket 20, a rotation mechanism 30, and an elastic member 40. The sleeve 20 is located in the base 10 and the rotation mechanism 30 is also located in the base 10.

Fig. 2 is a partial structural schematic diagram of a socket according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the rotation mechanism 30 is located at one side of the insert 20. The rotating mechanism 30 is pivotally connected to the base 10. The pivot axis m of the rotating mechanism 30 is shown in fig. 2.

Fig. 3 is a partial structural schematic diagram of a socket according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The first and second states of the rotating mechanism 30 are shown in fig. 3. The rotating mechanism 30 is configured to rotate to a first state, i.e., a state shown in a right drawing of fig. 3, by an external force, so as to close the socket 20, or to rotate to a second state, i.e., a state shown in a left drawing of fig. 3, by an external force, so as to open the socket 20.

The sleeve 20 generally comprises two opposed portions between which the prongs of a plug are positioned to make contact when inserted into the sleeve 20. The closing and opening referred to in the disclosed embodiment are two states of the insert 20, the spacing between the two portions of the insert 20 being different when the insert 20 is closed and when the insert 20 is open. The spacing between the two portions of the sleeve 20 is smaller when the sleeve 20 is closed and the spacing between the two portions of the sleeve 20 is larger when the sleeve 20 is open.

The elastic member 40 is connected to the rotating mechanism 30 for maintaining the rotating mechanism 30 in the first state or the second state.

Through set up plug bush and slewing mechanism in the base, slewing mechanism can rotate under the exogenic action, makes the plug bush close or open. Before the plug is connected with the socket, the plug bush is in an open state, and after the pins of the plug are inserted into the plug bush, the rotating mechanism is rotated to a first state by external force, so that the plug bush is closed, and the pins of the plug are clamped. When the plug needs to be pulled out, the rotating mechanism is rotated to the second state by external force, and the plug bush is restored to the open state, so that the plug pins can be easily pulled out of the plug bush. This socket can make things convenient for the plug of plug to when plug and socket are connected, can make plug and socket remain stable connection, avoid the plug pine to take off or the condition of contact failure appears.

The base 10 includes at least a portion of the housing of the socket for providing a mounting base for at least some of the structure of the socket 20, the rotation mechanism 30, and the elastic member 40. The base 10 has a mounting structure matched with the structures of the plug bush 20, the rotating mechanism 30 and the elastic element 40, so that after the plug bush 20, the rotating mechanism 30 and the elastic element 40 are mounted in place, corresponding functions can be realized. The mounting structure in the base 10 may be provided according to the structure of the parts to be mounted, and the base 10 shown in fig. 1 is merely an example.

Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a housing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 4, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing of the receptacle includes an inner housing 101 and an outer housing 102. The inner housing 101 is used for accommodating the socket 20, the rotating mechanism 30 and the elastic member 40, and the base 10 includes at least a part of the inner housing 101. The outer housing 102 is located outside the inner housing 101 for accommodating the inner housing 101. The outer housing 102 has an opening 102a for exposing the insertion hole of the inner housing 101.

Optionally, the housing of the receptacle further comprises a top housing 103, the top housing 103 being located in the open area 102a of the outer housing 102. The top housing 103 and the inner housing 101 enclose a cavity, which can be used to accommodate a protective door structure, to further improve the safety of the receptacle.

Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a rotating mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, the rotating mechanism 30 includes a rotating member 31 and a trigger member 32. Fig. 6 is a schematic view of a rotating mechanism and a plug bush provided in an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the rotation member 31 is located at one side of the socket 20. The rotation member 31 includes a main body portion 311 and a pushing portion 312. The main body 311 is pivotally connected to the base 10, the pushing part 312 is located on a side of the pivotal axis m close to the plug 20, and the pushing part 312 is used for pushing the plug 20 to close or open.

The trigger 32 is located at least partially within the sleeve 20 or below the sleeve 20. The plugging direction of the plug housing 20, i.e. the direction of movement of the plug pins relative to the plug housing when the plug pins are inserted into the plug housing 20, is generally fixed, and the plug pins are always inserted into the plug housing 20 from the same side of the plug housing 20. The lower side of the socket 20 means the other side opposite to the side where the pins are inserted in the insertion direction of the socket 20.

The trigger 32 is connected to the rotating member 31, and the trigger 32 is used for driving the rotating member 31 to rotate under the pushing of the plug.

Since the trigger 32 is at least partially located in the socket 20 or below the socket 20, the pin of the plug can push the trigger 32 and the trigger 32 drives the rotating member 31 to rotate during the process of inserting the pin of the plug into the socket 20. When the main body 311 of the rotating member 31 rotates about the pivot axis m, the pushing portion 312 pushes the sleeve 20 to close the sleeve 20. In the process of connecting the plug, the rotating mechanism 30 is rotated to the first state by directly utilizing the acting force of the plug inserted into the socket, thereby facilitating the connection of the plug.

In some examples, the push portion 312 closes the sleeve 20 by squeezing the sleeve 20. For example, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a rotating element and a sleeve according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The insert 20 is shown as a single piece and includes a first portion 201 and a second portion 202, with the first portion 201 and the second portion 202 being opposite. The push portion 312 is located on a side of the first portion 201 away from the second portion 202. In the process that the rotating mechanism 30 rotates to the first state, the pushing portion 312 approaches to the second portion 202, and presses the plug bush 20, so that the plug bush 20 is deformed, the first portion 201 is driven to approach to the second portion 202, the distance between the first portion 201 and the second portion 202 is reduced, and the plug bush 20 is closed. In the process that the rotating mechanism 30 rotates to the second state under the action of the external force, the pushing portion 312 moves in the direction away from the second portion 202, the first portion 201 moves in the direction away from the second portion 202 under the action of the elasticity of the plug bush 20, the distance between the first portion 201 and the second portion 202 is increased, and the plug bush 20 is opened.

In some examples, the pushing portion 312 is not connected to the first portion 201 of the socket 20, and during the rotation of the rotating mechanism 30 to the second state, the first portion 201 is separated from the second portion 202 by the elasticity of the socket 20 itself. In other examples, the pushing portion 312 is coupled to the first portion 201 of the sleeve 20 such that when the pushing portion 312 moves away from the second portion 202 during the rotation of the rotating mechanism 30 to the second state, the pushing portion will carry the first portion 201 together to open the sleeve 20.

Fig. 8 is a partial structural schematic view of a socket provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 8, the socket in which the insert 20 is different from the insert 20 shown in fig. 7 is that the insert 20 is not an integral body but two separate parts. The sleeve 20 comprises a first conductive plate 21 and a second conductive plate 22. The first conductive plate 21 and the second conductive plate 22 are opposed. The first conductive plate 21 is connected to the rotating mechanism 30, and the second conductive plate 22 is connected to the base 10. Since the first conductive plate 21 is connected to the pushing portion 312 of the rotating member 31 in the rotating mechanism 30, the first conductive plate 21 is always driven by the pushing portion 312 to move when the rotating mechanism 30 rotates to the first state or the second state.

As shown in fig. 8, the socket includes a plurality of sockets 20, and two sockets 20 of the plurality of sockets 20 are arranged along the extending direction of the pivot axis m.

The receptacle has at least one pair of sockets 20, each pair of sockets 20 being for connection to a plug. In the disclosed embodiment, the receptacle has two pairs of sleeves 20, which are capable of connecting two plugs. Two of the plurality of sleeves 20 are used here for connecting different plugs. In addition, the receptacle includes a grounding sleeve 23.

Referring to fig. 5, the rotating member 31 includes two pushing portions 312, the two pushing portions 312 are arranged along the extending direction of the pivot axis m, and the two pushing portions 312 correspond to the two inserting sleeves 20 one by one. The trigger 32 includes two trigger parts 321, and the two trigger parts 321 correspond to the two plug bushes 20 one by one.

By providing the two pushing portions 312 and the two triggering portions 321, when any pair of plug bushes 20 is used, the triggering portions 321 can be pushed by the plug, and the rotating member 31 is driven by the triggering member 32 to rotate, so that the plug bushes 20 are closed.

In some examples, the trigger 32 is fixedly connected to the rotating member 31. The trigger 32 and the rotating member 31 may be integrally formed, or may be integrally connected by welding, bonding, or the like.

In the disclosed example, the trigger 32 is movably connected to the rotating member 31. As shown in fig. 5, the trigger 32 further includes a guide rod 322. The triggering portion 321 is connected to a side wall of the guiding rod 322, the guiding rod 322 is disposed along the plugging direction of the plug bush 20, and the guiding rod 322 is movably connected to the base 10. Fig. 9 is a schematic view illustrating a connection between a guide rod and a base according to an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 9, the base 10 has a guide hole 10a, and the guide rod 322 is inserted into the guide hole 10 a.

The guide rod 322 is movably connected to the base 10 and cooperates with the base to limit the moving direction of the trigger 32, so that the trigger 32 moves along the axial direction of the guide rod 322 when pushed by the plug. When the trigger 32 moves, the rotating member 31 is pushed, so that the rotating member 31 rotates around the pivot axis m.

As shown in fig. 5, the main body 311 has two first protrusions 3111 on a side thereof adjacent to the trigger 32. The two first protrusions 3111 are located between the two pushing portions 312 and on a side of the triggering portion 321 away from the socket 20. The two first protrusions 3111 are in contact with the trigger part 321. The two first protrusions 3111 and the body portion 311 form a U-shaped groove 311a, and the guide bar 322 is located in the U-shaped groove 311 a.

The two first protrusions 3111 respectively hold the trigger 32 from both sides of the guide bar 322, so that the movement of the trigger 32 and the rotation member 31 is more smooth. When the trigger 32 is pushed by the plug, the trigger 321 presses the first protrusion 3111 to rotate the body 311. When the rotating mechanism 30 rotates to the second state, the two first protrusions 3111 push the triggering portion 321 towards the direction close to the plug bush 20, so that the triggering portion 321 pushes the pins of the plug to eject the pins of the plug from the plug bush 20, thereby facilitating the disconnection between the plug and the socket.

Fig. 10 is a schematic view illustrating an assembly of a rotating mechanism and an elastic member according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 10, the rotating member 31 further includes a reset portion 313. The reset part 313 is located at one end of the main body part 311 in the extending direction of the pivot axis m, the middle part of the reset part 313 is connected with the main body part 311, and one end of the reset part 313 is connected with the elastic element 40. The reset portion 313 is used to convert the elastic force of the elastic member 40 into a moment acting on the rotating member 31, so that the rotating mechanism 30 is maintained in the first state or the second state. The direction of the moment of the elastic element 40 to the rotating element 31 when the rotating mechanism 30 is in the first state is opposite to the direction of the moment of the elastic element 40 to the rotating element 31 when the rotating mechanism 30 is in the second state.

One end of the reset part 313 connected to the elastic member 40 has a second protrusion 3131, the elastic member 40 is sleeved on the second protrusion 3131, and the second protrusion 3131 can keep the elastic member 40 connected to the reset part 313. For example, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the elastic member 40 is a spring, and an end of the spring is sleeved outside the second protrusion 3131, so that the spring is prevented from being separated from the reset portion 313 when the spring is deformed by lateral bending.

As shown in fig. 10, a side wall of the reset portion 313 on a side away from the main body portion 311 has a third protrusion 3132, and the third protrusion 3132 is close to an end of the reset portion 313 away from the elastic element 40. The third protrusion 3132 can serve as a point of application of force to rotate the rotating member 31 and rotate the rotating mechanism 30 to the second state. When the plug and the socket are connected, the elastic force of the elastic member 40 keeps the rotating mechanism 30 in the first state. When it is necessary to disconnect the plug from the socket, a force is applied through the third protrusion 3132 to rotate the rotation member 31. During the rotation of the rotating member 31, the torque of the elastic member 40 on the rotating member 31 gradually changes until the torque on the rotating member 31 exerted by the elastic member 40 on the rotating member 31 reverses, so that the rotating mechanism 30 rotates to the second state and is maintained in the second state.

As shown in fig. 10, each of the rotating members 31 includes two reset portions 313, and the two reset portions 313 are respectively located at both ends of the main body portion 311 in the extending direction of the pivot axis m. The elastic members 40 are provided at both the returning parts 313 so that the rotation of the rotation member 31 is more smooth.

Fig. 11 is a partial structural schematic view of a socket provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 11, the socket includes two rotating mechanisms 30. The two rotating mechanisms 30 are located on both sides of the pair of insertion sleeves 20, and correspond to the two insertion sleeves 20 of the pair of insertion sleeves 20 one by one. For example, in fig. 11, two rotating mechanisms 30 are located on either side of a pair of splayed sleeves 20.

One of the pair of sleeves 20 is connected to the live wire and the other sleeve 20 is connected to the neutral wire. The partial plug has two prongs which are each connected to one of the sleeves 20 when connected to the receptacle. Part of the plug has three prongs, two of which are each connected to one of the sockets 20 and the other to the earth socket 23 when the socket is connected. By arranging the rotating mechanisms 30 on both sides of the pair of the sockets 20, both the sockets 20 of the pair of the sockets 20 can be closed or opened, thereby making the connection of the plug and the socket more stable.

Generally, in the pair of the sockets 20, the two sockets 20 are symmetrically arranged, and thus the two rotating mechanisms 30 corresponding to the two sockets 20 in the pair of the sockets 20 one to one are also symmetrically arranged.

Referring to fig. 10, the elastic member 40 is located between the two rotation mechanisms 30, and the elastic member 40 is connected to the two rotation mechanisms 30. The elastic member 40 is shared by the two rotating mechanisms 30. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, both ends of the elastic member 40 are respectively connected to the reset portions 313 of the rotating members 31 of the two rotating mechanisms 30.

In some examples, the elastic member 40 is provided separately for the two rotation mechanisms 30. For example, one end of the elastic member 40 is connected to the reset part 313 of the rotation member 31, and the other end of the elastic member 40 is connected to the base 10.

Fig. 12 is a partial structural schematic view of a socket provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 12, the receptacle further includes a linkage 50. The linkage member 50 is located on the same side of the two rotating mechanisms 30, and the linkage member 50 is used for driving the two rotating mechanisms 30 to rotate.

The link 50 is plate-shaped, and the link 50 has two notches 50a, and the two notches 50a are located at two opposite sides of the link 50. The linkage member 50 is located at the same side of the two rotating mechanisms 30, and the two notches 50a are respectively matched with the two rotating mechanisms 30 to drive the two rotating mechanisms 30 to rotate.

The two rotation mechanisms 30 are enabled to rotate synchronously by the link 50. The two rotating mechanisms 30 corresponding to the pair of the sleeves 20 rotate synchronously, and when the plug is plugged, the pair of plugs can be closed or opened synchronously, so that the plugging and unplugging of the plug are facilitated.

As shown in fig. 12, in the two rotating mechanisms 30, the third protrusions 3132 of the returning part 313 of the rotating member 31 are respectively located in the two notches 50 a. When the plug is inserted into the socket, the pin of the plug pushes the trigger 32 to rotate the rotating member 31. Even if two pins of the plug do not touch the trigger 32 at the same time, when one pin pushes the trigger 32 to rotate the rotating member 31, the reset portion 313 of the rotating member 31 will rotate, so as to drive the link 50, and then the link 50 drives the rotating member 31 of the other rotating mechanism 30 to rotate, so that the two rotating mechanisms 30 synchronously rotate to the first state, and the two pins of the plug are clamped. When the plug needs to be pulled out, the user can move the link 50, and the rotating parts 31 of the two rotating mechanisms 30 are driven to rotate by the link 50, so that the two rotating mechanisms 30 are both rotated to the second state, and the pair of plug bushes 20 are opened at the same time.

Optionally, a surface of the link 50 away from the two rotating mechanisms 30 has a projection 501, and the projection 501 is located between the two notches 50 a. By providing the projection 501, the user can move the link 50 conveniently. When the user needs to pull out the plug, the user can push or pull the linkage member 50 through the protrusion 501 to drive the rotation mechanism 30 to rotate to the second state.

Referring to fig. 1, the tab 501 is located outside the outer housing 102. The rotating mechanism 30 is located in the outer shell 102 or the inner shell 101, the inner shell 101 and the outer shell 102 provide protection, and the projection 501 is located outside the outer shell 102, so that the operation of a user can be facilitated.

Alternatively, there are two linkages 50, with the two linkages 50 being on opposite sides of the two rotation mechanisms 30. By providing the two link members 50, when an acting force is generated between the link members 50 and the rotating mechanisms 30, both the reset portions 313 at both ends of the rotating member 31 can receive the acting force, so that the rotation of the two rotating mechanisms 30 is more stable.

Fig. 13 is a schematic structural diagram of a first conductive member and a second conductive member according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 13, the socket further includes a first conductive member 61 and a second conductive member 62. Fig. 14 is a partial structural schematic view of a socket provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 13 and 14, the first conductive member 61 is located in the base 10, and the first conductive member 61 is connected to the base 10. The second conductive member 62 includes a fixing portion 621 and an extending portion 622. The fixing portion 621 is connected to the body portion 311, and the fixing portion 621 is connected to the insert 20. The extension 622 is located at one side of the first conductive member 61. In the first state of the rotating mechanism 30, as shown in the upper drawing of fig. 13, the extending portion 622 is in contact with the first conductive member 61; in the second state of the rotating mechanism 30, as shown in the lower drawing of fig. 13, the extending portion 622 is separated from the first conductive member 61.

The first conductive member 61 may be connected to a cable or the like outside the socket to transmit power. In the second state, the plug bush 20 is opened, the plug is not connected with the socket, the extension portion 622 of the second conductive member 62 is separated from the first conductive member 61, the plug bush 20 is not electrified, and the safety of the socket is further improved. After the plug is connected to the socket, the socket is in the first state, and at this time, the extension 622 of the second conductive member 62 contacts the first conductive member 61, the plug bush 20 is charged, so that the plug can be normally energized.

A first conductive member 61 and a second conductive member 62 are disposed corresponding to two sockets 20 of the pair of sockets 20, respectively. Of the two first conductors 61, one is for connection to the live line and one is for connection to the neutral line.

As an example, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conductive member 61 is located on a side of the triggering member 32 away from the plug 20, and the second conductive member 62 is located on a side of the main body portion 311 close to the first conductive member 61.

For the sleeve 20 shown in fig. 7, the second conductive member 62 may be a unitary structure with the sleeve 20. For the socket 20 shown in fig. 13, the second conductive member 62 and the first conductive sheet 21 of the socket 20 may be an integral structure.

In some examples, the first conductive member 61, the second conductive member 62, the first conductive sheet 21, and the second conductive sheet 22 are all metal sheets. The second conductive member 62 and the plug bush 20 are formed by bending the same metal sheet, or the second conductive member 62 and the first conductive sheet 21 of the plug bush 20 are formed by bending the same metal sheet.

The above description is intended to be exemplary only and not to limit the present disclosure, and any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure is to be considered as the same as the present disclosure.
