Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model more apparent, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples do not represent all implementations consistent with the utility model. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the utility model as detailed in the accompanying claims.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a socket 10 is provided according to an embodiment of the present utility model. The socket 10 may be any type of socket, such as a fixed socket, a mobile socket (e.g., a socket outlet), and the embodiment of the present utility model is not limited thereto.

The socket 10 includes a plug-in detecting mechanism 100 and a housing 200, the housing 200 having a jack 210, the plug-in detecting mechanism 100 being used to detect whether a plug is inserted into the jack 210 of the socket 10. Whether the socket 10 needs to be opened or whether the safety protection circuit of the socket 10 needs to be opened can be judged according to the detection result of the insertion detection mechanism 100, so as to improve the safety performance of the socket 10.

The socket 10 is opened, and the socket 10 can supply power for electric equipment; and the safety protection circuit of the socket 10 is started, so that the safety protection circuit of the socket 10 can ensure the safety of the socket 10 for supplying power to the electric equipment when the socket 10 supplies power to the electric equipment. Specifically, the safety protection circuit of the socket 10 may be used for cutting off the power supply of the socket 10 to the electric equipment when the socket 10 is in a fault state (for example, the socket 10 is in an over-power state), so as to ensure the safety of the socket 10 and the electric equipment; the safety protection circuit of the socket 10 is disclosed in the related art, and the description of the embodiment of the present utility model is omitted.

The plug connector may be a plug, and the insertion detection mechanism 100 may detect whether a pin on the plug is inserted into the jack 210 of the socket 10 when the plug is connected to the socket 10. Wherein the plug is a device on the electric equipment for being electrically connected with the socket 10.

For part of electric equipment, after the plug is inserted into the socket 10, the socket 10 can be used for supplying power to the electric equipment; for example, for electric equipment such as a desk lamp, after the plug of the electric equipment is plugged into the socket 10, the desk lamp can be powered and then lightened.

For such electric equipment, when the insertion detection mechanism 100 detects that the plug connector is inserted into the jack 210, the socket 10 is opened to normally supply power to the electric equipment; when no plug is inserted into the jack 210, the socket 10 is in a disconnected state, so that phenomena such as electric leakage are avoided. It should be noted that, in order to avoid the false insertion operation of the child, the insertion detection mechanisms 100 may be disposed in more than two insertion holes 210 of the socket 10, so as to determine that the plug inserted into the socket 10 is a plug and open the socket 10 when the insertion detection mechanisms 100 detect that the plug is inserted and the insertion time difference is within the preset range.

For another part of electric equipment, a start key may be additionally arranged on the electric equipment, at this time, after the plug is inserted into the socket 10, the socket 10 is conducted with the plug loop, but the socket 10 does not normally supply power to the electric equipment, but is in a weak current running state, and after the start key on the electric equipment is opened, the socket 10 can normally supply power to the electric equipment, and is in a strong current running state. For example, for electric equipment such as an electric rice cooker, after the plug is inserted into the socket 10, the socket 10 is conducted with the plug loop, but the electric rice cooker is not normally powered, and the electric rice cooker is normally powered after the start key on the electric rice cooker is opened.

For such electric equipment, when the insertion detection mechanism 100 detects that the plug connector is inserted into the jack 210, the safety protection circuit of the socket 10 is turned on, so that the safety of the socket 10 and the electric equipment is ensured when the subsequent socket 10 supplies power to the electric equipment normally.

In summary, under different usage scenarios, the socket 10 may be designed differently, so that it can make different responses such as opening the socket 10 or opening a safety protection circuit of the socket 10 according to a detection result of the insertion detection mechanism 100, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present utility model.

In the embodiment of the present utility model, referring to fig. 4 and 5, the insertion detection mechanism 100 includes a housing 110, a first electrical connector 120, a second electrical connector 130 and a driving member 140, where the first electrical connector 120 is connected to the housing 110, and the second electrical connector 130 is connected to the driving member 140, so that when the insertion detection mechanism 100 is disposed corresponding to the jack 210 of the socket 10, the plug-in connector inserted into the jack 210 can push the driving member 140 to move relative to the housing 110, and further the second electrical connector 130 is switched from a first state to a second state, where the second electrical connector 130 is spaced from the first electrical connector 120, and the second electrical connector 130 is abutted and electrically connected in the second state. When the first electrical connector 120 is electrically connected to the second electrical connector 130, the circuit in which the first electrical connector 120 and the second electrical connector 130 are located may be turned on (as will be described in more detail below), so that the plug-in connector on the socket 10 can be known from the switching of the circuit from off to on, and the insertion detection is implemented.

When the plug is inserted into the jack 210, the driving member 140 moves along the insertion direction of the plug relative to the housing 110 under the pushing of the plug, so that the second electrical connector 130 is switched from the first state to the second state, so that the acting force generated when the plug is inserted can act on the driving member 140 more fully, which is beneficial to the movement of the driving member 140, and further improves the accuracy of the detection result of the insertion detection mechanism 100.

Alternatively, the housing 110 of the insertion detection mechanism 100 may be mounted to the housing 200 such that the housing 110 and the first electrical connector 120 may remain substantially stationary as the plug pushes the driver 140 and the second electrical connector 130.

The housing 110 is formed with a mounting cavity 111 and a first opening 112 communicating with the mounting cavity 111, at least a portion of the first electrical connector 120 and at least a portion of the second electrical connector 130 are both located in the mounting cavity 111, the first opening 112 is configured to be disposed corresponding to the jack 210 of the socket 10, and the driving member 140 is disposed corresponding to the first opening 112. The housing 110 is designed to have a mounting cavity 111, and at least a portion of the first electrical connector 120 and at least a portion of the second electrical connector 130 are both positioned within the mounting cavity 111, thereby facilitating the modular design of the insertion detection mechanism 100 and facilitating the assembly of the insertion detection mechanism 100 as a whole within the receptacle 10.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 4 to 6, the second electrical connector 130 includes a first connecting section 131 and a second connecting section 132, the first connecting section 131 is connected to the driving member 140, the second connecting section 132 is bent relative to the first connecting section 131, one end of the second connecting section 132 is connected to the first connecting section 131, and the other end extends away from the driving member 140. One end of the second connecting section 132 is designed to be close to the driving element 140, and the other end is designed to extend towards a direction away from the driving element 140, so that in the process of moving the driving element 140 relative to the housing 110, the other end of the second connecting section 132 is gradually extruded by the first electric connecting element 120 to deform towards a direction close to the driving element 140, and the other end of the second connecting section 132 is tightly attached to the first electric connecting element 120, so that the reliability of electric connection between the two parts is improved.

Optionally, the driving member 140 extends along a first direction x, the driving member 140 has an outer circumferential surface 141 surrounding the first direction x, the first direction x is parallel to a moving direction of the driving member 140 relative to the housing 110, the second connecting section 132 and the first electrical connecting member 120 are both disposed on a circumferential side of the driving member 140, the second connecting section 132 is located between the outer circumferential surface 141 and the first electrical connecting member 120 in the second state, and the second connecting section 132 abuts against and is electrically connected to the first electrical connecting member 120. The second connecting section 132 and the first electrical connector 120 are disposed on the peripheral side of the driving member 140, so that the length dimension of the insertion detection mechanism 100 along the first direction x can be reduced, and the miniaturized design of the insertion detection mechanism 100 can be realized.

Optionally, in the first state, an end surface of the second connecting section 132, which is far away from the first connecting section 131, abuts against an inner wall of the housing 110 that forms an angle with the first direction x, so as to prevent the second connecting section 132 and the driving member 140 from sliding out of the mounting cavity 111 from the first opening 112. For example, the housing 110 has a first inner wall 114 and a second inner wall 115 that are relatively distributed along the first direction x, the first inner wall 114 faces the first opening 112, the second inner wall 115 participates in defining the first opening 112, and in the first state, an end surface of the second connecting section 132, which is far away from the first connecting section 131, abuts against the second inner wall 115 of the housing 110. Alternatively, the first inner wall 114 is perpendicular to the first direction x and the second inner wall 115 is perpendicular to the first direction x.

Alternatively, to facilitate deformation of the second connection segment 132 under the extrusion of the first electrical connector 120, the second connection segment 132 may be a sheet-like structure with a certain toughness, so that the second connection segment 132 may deform under the extrusion of the first electrical connector 120 and may return to its original shape when not subjected to the extrusion force. Alternatively, the first connecting section 131 may be a sheet-like structure with a certain toughness, so that the first connecting section 131 and the second connecting section 132 may be directly formed by bending a sheet, thereby saving the assembly process.

Optionally, the second connection section 132 has electrical conductivity, so that the second connection section 132 can be electrically connected with the first electrical connector 120 when the two are abutted. Alternatively, the first connection segment 131 may also have conductivity, so that the second connection segment 132 and the first connection segment 131 may be made of the same material, simplifying the manufacturing process of the second electrical connector 130.

Alternatively, the second connection section 132 includes a ridge portion 1321 disposed away from the outer peripheral surface 141, and the ridge portion 1321 abuts and electrically connects the first electrical connector 120 in the second state. The raised ridge 1321 is more advantageous for electrically connecting with the first electrical connector 120 than a flat plate-like structure, and the design of the ridge 1321 can reduce scraping phenomenon with the first electrical connector 120 during the contact process, and reduce abrasion.

Alternatively, the number of the first electrical connectors 120 and the number of the second electrical connectors 130 included in the insertion detection mechanism 100 may be arbitrary; for example, the insertion-detection mechanism 100 may include one first electrical connector 120 and one second electrical connector 130, the insertion-detection mechanism 100 may also include two first electrical connectors 120 and two second electrical connectors 130, and so on. When the insertion detecting mechanism 100 includes a first electrical connector 120 and a second electrical connector 130, the first electrical connector 120 and the second electrical connector 130 both connect to an external circuit, so that the circuit is conducted when the first electrical connector 120 and the second electrical connector 130 are electrically connected.

Specifically, when the insertion-detection mechanism 100 includes one first electrical connector 120 and one second electrical connector 130, a portion of the first electrical connector 120 may be located in the mounting cavity 111 of the housing 110, another portion may be located outside the housing 110 so as to circumscribe the circuit, and a portion of the second electrical connector 130 may be located in the mounting cavity 111 of the housing 110, another portion may be located outside the housing 110 so as to circumscribe the circuit. Optionally, the ends of the first electrical connector 120 and the second electrical connector 130 located outside the housing 110 may be disposed away from the first opening 112 of the housing 110, so as to increase the distance between the external circuit and the first opening 112 and reduce the interference of the external circuit on the movement of the driving member 140 relative to the housing 110. Alternatively, the end of the first electrical connector 120 located outside the housing 110 may be externally connected to a circuit in a plugging manner, or may be externally connected to a circuit in a wire manner, and the end of the second electrical connector 130 located outside the housing 110 may be externally connected to a circuit in a plugging manner, or may be externally connected to a circuit in a wire manner.

When the insertion detection mechanism 100 includes two first electrical connectors 120 and two second electrical connectors 130, the two first electrical connectors 120 and the two second electrical connectors 130 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence, the two second electrical connectors 130 may be electrically connected, the two first electrical connectors 120 may be externally connected to a circuit, so that each second electrical connector 130 in the first state is disposed at an interval with the corresponding first electrical connector 120, and each second electrical connector 130 in the second state is abutted to and electrically connected with the corresponding first electrical connector 120, so that the circuit is conducted in the second state. Since the two first electrical connectors 120 are connected to the housing 110, the two first electrical connectors 120 can be kept stationary during the movement of the driving member 140 relative to the housing 110, so that the circuit connection is more stable and reliable when the two first electrical connectors 120 are externally connected to a circuit.

Specifically, when the insertion detection mechanism 100 includes two first electrical connectors 120 and two second electrical connectors 130, the two second electrical connectors 130 are located in the mounting cavity 111 of the housing 110, and one ends of the two first electrical connectors 120 are located in the mounting cavity 111 of the housing 110, and the other ends are located outside the housing 110, so as to externally connect the circuit. Alternatively, the ends of the two first electrical connectors 120 located outside the housing 110 may be disposed away from the first opening 112, so as to increase the distance between the external circuit and the first opening 112 and reduce the interference of the external circuit on the movement of the driving member 140 relative to the housing 110. Alternatively, the end of the first electrical connector 120 located outside the housing 110 may be externally connected to a circuit in a plugging manner, or may be externally connected to a circuit in a wire manner, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present utility model.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 6 and 7, when the insertion detection mechanism 100 includes two first electrical connectors 120 and two second electrical connectors 130, the two first electrical connectors 120 are located on opposite sides of the outer peripheral surface 141 of the driving member 140, so that the second electrical connectors 130 on two sides receive a compressive force of the first electrical connectors 120 substantially symmetrically during the movement of the driving member 140 relative to the housing 110, so that the stress of the driving member 140 is relatively balanced, and the stability of the movement of the driving member 140 relative to the housing 110 is improved.

Optionally, when the insertion detecting mechanism 100 includes two first electrical connectors 120 and two second electrical connectors 130, the insertion detecting mechanism 100 further includes an intermediate electrical connector 150, where the intermediate electrical connector 150 is connected between the two second electrical connectors 130 and electrically connected to both the two second electrical connectors 130, and the intermediate electrical connector 150 is further connected to the driving member 140. The design of the intermediate electric connector 150 can enlarge the connection area with the driving member 140, and improve the installation reliability of the second electric connector 130 on the driving member 140.

Optionally, the intermediate electrical connector 150 includes a third connecting section 151, the driving member 140 has a first end surface 143 facing the first inner wall 114 of the housing 110, the third connecting section 151 is attached to the first end surface 143, and both the second electrical connectors 130 are electrically connected to the third connecting section 151.
