Safety socket

Abstract

The invention relates to a safety socket. The safety socket comprises metal clamp plates, clamp plate elastic-clamping mechanisms, transition plates, and transition plate reset mechanisms, wherein a first conductive contact plate and a second conductive contact plate are arranged on two sides of the transition plates respectively. Normally (the socket is not plugged with a plug), a safety electric gap is reserved between each transition plate and one electrified power binding post. When the plug is inserted and connected with the first conductive contact plates through the metal clamp plates and the clamp plate elastic-clamping mechanisms, the inserting force is large enough to overcome elasticity of the transition plate reset mechanisms so as to allow the transition plates to approach the power binding posts, second conductive contact plates contact with the power binding posts, the plug is electrified, and the plug is kept in the state through the clamp plate elastic-clamping mechanisms; a foreign matter is inserted, electrical shock occurs only when the elasticity of the transition plate reset mechanism is overcome; when the elasticity is large enough, shock accidents in children are avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a power socket, in particular to a safety socket capable of preventing foreign objects from being inserted into live parts in the socket to cause electric shock accidents. Background technique [0002] With the development of the economy, the advancement of technology, and the improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more electrical appliances in residents' homes, so more and more sockets are used. The structure of an ordinary socket generally includes a shell and electrodes made of metal materials arranged in the shell and matched with the pole pieces of the plug. The positions corresponding to the electrodes are provided with socket holes on the shell. But still all there is hidden danger in socket, promptly because the socket hole of existing socket is all open, and children are full of curiosity again, often can take thing and poke socket hole, if the thing that is taken is that conductive material is ma...

Problems solved by technology

But still all there is hidden danger in socket, promptly because the socket hole of existing socket is all open, and children are full of curiosity again, often can take thing and poke socket hole, if the thing that is taken is that conductive material is made, just It is very likely that there will be casualties. Therefore, the safety requirements for sockets are getting higher and higher, especially in European and American countries. It is required that electric shock accidents can still be avoided when foreign objects are inserted into the socket with a certain insertion force.
