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 electric shock accidents caused by the insertion of foreign objects into live parts in the socket. 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 a common socket generally includes a casing and electrodes made of metal material and matched with the pole pieces of the plug. The casing is provided with socket holes at positions corresponding to the electrodes. However, sockets still have hidden dangers, that is, because the socket holes of the existing sockets are open, and children are full of curiosity, they often take things to poke the socket holes. It is very likely that casualties will occur. Therefore, the safety requirements for socket...

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.
