Technical field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of safety electrical appliance
sockets, in particular to a socket assembly and an electronic apparatus.
Background
[0002] At present, when an existing socket is used, high current is generated instantly
after a plug is inserted, and the instant high current generates high voltage, which
breaks down air to discharge electricity, resulting in a sparking phenomenon, easy
occurrence of fires, significant safety hazards, and excessively low safety. Meanwhile,
when the socket is in a standby mode, if the user does not manually turn off the output
of inverter current, the socket still outputs the inverter current. If the user often
forgets to turn off the output of the inverter current, the socket will be damaged,
and power and energy will be continuously consumed.
Summary
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide
a socket assembly and an electronic apparatus. The socket assembly can solve the sparking
phenomenon generated at the moment of insertion of a plug, and can also turn off current
output when a socket stands by to save energy, with high safety.
[0004] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a socket assembly.
The socket assembly includes a socket body, a power supply electrode group, and a
detection electrode assembly.
[0005] The power supply electrode group is disposed in the socket body and includes two
power supply electrodes, and the two power supply electrodes are used for contacting
the plug electrode group inserted into the socket body, and contacting the plug electrode
group when the plug electrode group is further inserted to a preset position in the
socket body.
[0006] The detection electrode assembly is disposed in the socket body, and is used for
detecting the insertion state of the plug electrode group, wherein the detection electrode
assembly has an off state and an on state; when the plug electrode group is not inserted
to the preset position, the detection electrode assembly is in the off state; when
the plug electrode group is inserted to the preset position, the detection electrode
assembly is in the on state to form a current loop.
[0007] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide an electronic
apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes an apparatus body and a socket assembly.
[0008] The apparatus body includes an inverter circuit and a control circuit, the control
circuit is electrically connected to the inverter circuit, and the inverter circuit
is used for being electrically connected to a power source;
[0009] The socket assembly as described above is disposed on the apparatus body, and the
power supply electrode group is electrically connected to the inverter circuit. The
detection electrode assembly is electrically connected to the control circuit.
[0010] The control circuit is used for, triggered by the detection electrode assembly, controlling
the inverter circuit and supplying power to the outside through the power supply electrode
group when the detection electrode assembly is in the on state, and controlling the
inverter circuit to stop supplying power to the outside when the detection electrode
assembly is in the off state.
[0011] Beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: Unlike the prior art,
the power supply electrode group and the detection electrode assembly are provided
on the socket assembly, where the detection electrode assembly detects the insertion
state of the plug electrode group. When the plug electrode group is inserted to the
preset position and contacts the power supply electrode group, the detection electrode
assembly is in an on state, which can form a current loop and then generate a detection
signal. The detection signal can be provided to the control circuit, and the control
circuit controls the inverter circuit to supply power to the outside through the power
supply electrode group. As such, the phenomenon of sparking at the moment of insertion
of a plug can be effectively solved, and safety hazards of a socket during use can
be reduced. Meanwhile, when the plug electrode group is not inserted to the preset
position, the detection electrode assembly is in an off state without forming a current
loop or generating a detection signal, and the control circuit controls the inverter
circuit to stop supplying power to the outside, which can solve the problem that the
standby socket still supplies power, reduce unnecessary power consumption, and effectively
save energy.

may be combined with another embodiment.
[0017] An electronic apparatus 1 may be an energy storage apparatus, a plug board, and various
electrical appliances with sockets. The energy storage apparatus may be, for example,
a portable power source.
[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic apparatus 1 may include a socket assembly 10A
(10B) and an apparatus body 20. The socket assembly 10A (10B) is disposed on the apparatus
body 20.
[0019] The apparatus body 20 may include an inverter circuit 210 and a control circuit 220.
The control circuit 220 is electrically connected to the inverter circuit 210, and
the inverter circuit 210 is used for being electrically connected to a power source.
Optionally, the apparatus body 20 may further include a battery module 230, and the
battery module 230 is electrically connected to the inverter circuit 210.
[0020] The inverter circuit 210 is used for converting direct current into alternating current.
Specifically, the inverter circuit 210, when turned on, can convert direct current
output by the battery module 230 into alternating current, and the socket assembly
10 outputs the alternating current to the outside. The inverter circuit 210 may be
an existing inverter or the like.
[0021] The control circuit 220 can be used for controlling the operation of the electronic
apparatus 1, for example, the control circuit 220 can control the inverter circuit
210 to turn on or off. The inverter circuit 210 can supply power to the outside through
the socket assembly 10A (10B) when turned on, and stop supplying power to the outside
when turned off.
[0022] The control circuit 220 may be a central processing unit (CPU). The control circuit
220c may be an integrated circuit chip, with signal processing capability. The control
circuit 220 may alternatively be a general-purpose processor, a digital signal processor
(DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), an image signal processor
(ISP), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices,
discrete gates or transistor logic devices, or discrete hardware components. The general-purpose
processor may be a micro control unit (MCU), a single chip micyoco (SCM), or the control
circuit 220 may alternatively be any conventional processing circuit/processor, or
other circuit at least capable of controlling the inverter circuit 210 to turn on
or off.
[0023] The battery module 230 can store electrical energy and serve as a power source. The
battery module 230 can provide the electrical energy to the outside through the inverter
circuit 210.
[0024] The socket assembly 10A (10B) is electrically connected to the inverter circuit 210
and the control circuit 220, respectively. The socket assembly 10 is used for inserting
a plug 3 of an electrical device. When a plug electrode group 30 of the plug 3 is
inserted to a preset position of the socket assembly 10A (10B), a current loop is
formed between the socket assembly 10 and the control circuit 220, a detection signal
can be generated, the control circuit 220 can control the inverter circuit 210 to
turn on based on the detection signal, and then the inverter circuit 210 outputs electrical
energy to the socket assembly 10A (10B). When the plug electrode group 30 of the plug
3 is not inserted to the preset position of the socket assembly 10, no current loop
is formed between the socket assembly 10A (10B) and the control circuit 220, no detection
signal is generated, and the control circuit 220 controls the inverter circuit 210
to turn off or remain off. The detection signal is, for example, a current signal
or a level signal.
[0025] The socket assemblies 10A and 10B to be described below may be used as two exemplary
embodiments, the same content between the two may be referenced to each other, and
different content may also be combined with each other.
[0026] Firstly, the socket assembly 10A may refer to the following exemplary description:
As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the socket assembly 10A may include a socket body 110A,
a power supply electrode group 120A, a detection electrode assembly 130A, and a protective
door mechanism 140A.
[0027] The power supply electrode group 120A is disposed in the socket body 110A. The detection
electrode assembly 130A is disposed in the socket body 110A. The protective door mechanism
is disposed in the socket body 110A. The plug electrode group 30 of the plug 3 may
be inserted into the socket body 110A, and contact the power supply electrode group
120A. The detection electrode assembly 130A may be used for detecting the insertion
state of the plug electrode group 30. The protective door mechanism 140A is used for
shielding the power supply electrode group 120A when the plug electrode group 30 of
the plug 3 is not inserted into the socket body 110A, and can expose the power supply
electrode group 120A when the plug electrode group 30 of the plug 3 is inserted into
the socket body 110A, such that the plug electrode group 30 can contact the power
supply electrode group 120A, thereby improving the concealment of the power supply
electrode group 120A and enhancing safety performance.
[0028] When the plug electrode group 30 is inserted into the socket body 110A, the power
supply electrode group 120A can contact the plug electrode group 30 inserted into
the socket body 110A and can transmit current to the plug electrode group 30. When
the plug electrode group 30 contacts the power supply electrode group 120A and is
further inserted into the socket body 110A, the power supply electrode group 120A
contacts the plug electrode group 30. The detection electrode assembly 130A has an
off state and an on state; when the plug electrode group 30 is not inserted to the
preset position, the detection electrode assembly 130A is in the off state; when the
plug electrode group 30 is inserted to the preset position, the detection electrode
assembly 130A is in the on state to form a current loop.
[0029] Specifically, in the electronic apparatus 1, the power supply electrode group 120A
may be electrically connected to the inverter circuit 210. The detection electrode
assembly 130A may be electrically connected to the control circuit 220. The control
circuit 220 is used for, triggered by the detection electrode assembly 130A, controlling
the inverter circuit 210 and supplying power to the outside through the power supply
electrode group 120A when the detection electrode assembly 130A is in the on state,
and controlling the inverter circuit 210 to stop supplying power to the outside when
the detection electrode assembly 130A is in the off state.
[0030] In this embodiment, the detection electrode assembly 130A is disposed in the socket
assembly 10, to detect the insertion of the plug electrode group 30 during use; when
the plug electrode group 30 is inserted into the socket body to contact the power
supply electrode group 120A, and further inserted to the preset position while maintaining
contact with the power supply electrode group 120A, the detection electrode assembly
130A is in the on state to form a current loop and transmit detection signals to the
control circuit 220 of the apparatus body 20, such that the control circuit 220 of
the apparatus body 20 controls the inverter circuit 210 to transmit inverter current
to the socket assembly 10, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of sparking at the moment
of contact of the plug electrode group 30 with the power supply electrode group 120A,
and improving the safety of the socket. Meanwhile, when the plug electrode group 30
is not inserted to the preset position, the detection electrode assembly 130A is in
the off state without forming a current loop or generating a detection signal, and
the control circuit 220 controls the inverter circuit 210 to stop supplying power
to the outside, which can solve the problem that the standby socket still supplies
power, reduce unnecessary power consumption, and effectively save energy.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the socket body 110A may include a base 111A and a
bottom plate 112A. The base 111A is connected to the bottom plate 112A.
[0032] The socket body 110A is provided with an insertion space 113A and an insertion hole
114A, where the insertion hole is in communication with the insertion space. Optionally,
the socket body 110A is further provided with a spacing chamber 115A and a communication

[0033] Specifically, the insertion hole 114A and the insertion space 113A are formed on
the base 111A. The bottom plate 112A is disposed at the bottom of the base 111A away
from the insertion hole 114A. The insertion space 113A is formed inside the base 111A.
The insertion hole 114A is formed at a top of the base 111A, and may be in communication

[0034] Specifically, the spacing chamber 115A is disposed in the base 111A, located between
the insertion space 113A and the insertion hole 114A, and spaced apart from the insertion
space 113A. The communication hole 116A connects the spacing chamber 115A with the
insertion space 113A, and is opposite to the insertion hole 114A. Optionally, there
are two insertion holes 114A and two communication holes 116A, and they correspond
one to one.
[0035] The power supply electrode group 120A and the detection electrode assembly 130A are
both disposed inside the base 111A, and the power supply electrode group 120A is inserted
into the base 111A and extends out of the bottom plate 112A. The insertion holes 114A
can allow at least portions of the plug electrodes of the plug electrode group 30
to be inserted into the base 111A, and then the plug electrodes are in contact with
the power supply electrode group 120A and trigger the detection electrode assembly
130A. The detection electrode assembly 130A may be inserted into the bottom plate
112A and extend out of the bottom plate 112A.
[0036] The insertion space 113A is used for accommodating the power supply electrode group
120A and the detection electrode assembly 130A. The plug electrode group 30 can enter
the insertion space 113A, and in the insertion space 113A, contact the power supply
electrode group 120A and trigger the detection electrode assembly 130A.
[0037] Specifically, the insertion space 113A may include two first insertion chambers 1131A,
a second insertion chamber 1132A, and a sliding hole 1133A. Optionally, the second
insertion chamber 1132A is disposed between the two first insertion chambers 1131A.
The two first insertion chambers 1131A can accommodate the power supply electrode
group 120A, and the second insertion chamber 1132A can accommodate the detection electrode
assembly 130A. The sliding hole 1133A connects the two first insertion chambers 1131A
and the second insertion chamber 1132A.
[0038] Optionally, the extension direction of the sliding hole 1133A is consistent with
the insertion direction of the first insertion chambers 1131A.
[0039] The plug electrode group 30 includes at least two plug electrodes 310. The two plug
electrodes 310 are inserted from the two insertion holes 114A or removed from the
two first insertion chambers 1131A in the insertion direction. In another embodiment,
the quantity of the first insertion chambers 1131A may be three or four, which is
not limited here.
[0040] Optionally, the insertion holes 114A are in the same quantity as and correspond one
to one with the plug electrodes 310 and the first insertion chambers 1131A in the
insertion space 113A, and are used for accommodating the plug electrode group 30 to
pass through the top of the base 111A and enter the first insertion chambers 1131A.
The quantity of the insertion holes 114A may be two, three, or four, which is not
limited here.
[0041] The insertion hole 114A is further from the insertion space 113A than the spacing
chamber 115A, and the spacing chamber 115A is used for accommodating the protective
door mechanism 140A. Optionally, the communication holes 116A, the insertion holes
114A, and the first insertion chambers 1131A are in the same quantity and in one-to-one
correspondence, and are provided for the plug electrodes 310 to pass through and enter
the first insertion chambers 1131A.
[0042] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the power supply electrode group 120A
may include two power supply electrodes121A. The two power supply electrodes 121A
are used for contacting the plug electrode group 30 inserted into the socket body
110A, and maintaining the contact with the plug electrode group 30 in the process
that the plug electrode group 30 is further inserted to the preset position in the
socket body 110A.
[0043] Optionally, the power supply electrode group 120A may further include a ground electrode
122A, which is spaced apart from the two power supply electrodes 121A. The two power
supply electrodes 121A may be connected to a live wire and a neutral line respectively,
and the ground electrode 122A is connected to a ground wire. Optionally, the quantity
of the plug electrodes 310 inserted into the socket assembly 10 may be three, where
one plug electrode 310 contacts the ground electrode 122A and is connected to the
ground wire by the ground electrode 122A.
[0044] The two power supply electrodes 121A are spaced apart and opposite to each other.
The two power supply electrodes 121 extend from the outside of the socket body 110A
to the insertion space 113A, and are disposed opposite to the two insertion holes
114A one to one. Specifically, the two power supply electrodes 121A pass through the
bottom of the base 111A and extend to the insertion space 113A. Further, the two power
supply electrodes 121A extend into the two first insertion chambers 1131A in one-to-one
correspondence, and are disposed opposite to the two insertion holes 114A one to one.
The spaced first insertion chambers 1131A enable the two power supply electrodes 121A
to isolate from each other without being easily short-circuited. Moreover, the first
insertion chambers 1131A can also reduce the possibility of short circuits caused
by the contact of the power supply electrodes 121A therein with other electrical components.
[0045] Specifically, one ends of the two power supply electrodes 121A may be in contact
with the two plug electrodes 310. Specifically, the two plug electrodes 310 can contact
one ends of the two power supply electrodes 121A when inserted into the first insertion
chambers 1131A and maintain the contact with the two power supply electrodes 121A
when further inserted to the preset position. The other ends of the two power supply
electrodes 121A extending out of the socket body 110A may be connected to the inverter
circuit 210. When the two power supply electrodes 121A contact the two plug electrodes
310, the inverter circuit 210 may transmit inverter current to the plug electrodes
310 through the two power supply electrodes 121A.
[0046] As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the detection electrode assembly 130A may include
two fixed electrodes 131A, a movable electrode 132A, a movable block 133A, and an
elastic member 134A.
[0047] The two fixed electrodes 131A are disposed on the base 110A at interval. The movable
block 133A is movably disposed in the socket body 110A. The movable electrode 132A
is fixedly connected to the movable block 133A, so as to be able to move together
with the movable block 133A. The elastic member 134A is disposed in the socket body
110A and connects the socket body 110A and the movable block 133A. The elastic member
134A can be used for resetting the movable block 133A.
[0048] The two fixed electrodes131A are disposed opposite and spaced apart. Specifically,
the two fixed electrodes 131A extend from the outside of the socket body 110A to the
insertion space 113A. Further, the two fixed electrodes 131A pass through the bottom
plate 112A and extend to the insertion space 113A, respectively. Specifically, the
two fixed electrodes 131A are disposed in the second insertion chamber 1132A, that
is, the two fixed electrodes 131A pass through the bottom plate 112A and extend into
the second insertion chamber 1132A. Optionally, the arrangement direction of the two
fixed electrodes 131A is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the two power
supply electrodes 121A, such that the fixed electrodes 131A and the power supply electrodes
121A do not contact or interfere with each other in their arrangement directions,
which can effectively avoid short circuits between the excessively adjacent fixed
electrodes 131A and power supply electrodes 121A in the same arrangement direction,
thereby improving electrical reliability.
[0049] One ends of the two fixed electrodes 131A are located in the second insertion chamber
1132A and may be in contact with the movable electrode 132A, and the other ends outside
the socket body 110A are connected to the control circuit 220 of the apparatus body
20 and may transmit signals to the control circuit 220.
[0050] The movable electrode 132A is movably disposed in the socket body 110A. The movable
electrode 132A is fixedly connected to the movable block 133A. Specifically, a portion
of the movable electrode 132A may be wrapped on a partial periphery of the movable
block 133A and spaced opposite to the two fixed electrodes 131A. For example, the
movable electrode 132A may be bent to form two movable electrode portions, which correspond
one to one with the two fixed electrodes 131A.
[0051] Specifically, the movable electrode 132A separates from the two fixed electrodes
131A when the plug electrode group 30 is not inserted to the preset position, such
that the detection electrode assembly 130A is in an off state. The movable electrode
132A contacts the two fixed electrodes 131A when the plug electrode group 30 is inserted
to the preset position, to connect the two fixed electrodes 131A, such that the detection
electrode assembly 130A is in an on state.
[0052] Specifically, the movable block 133A is disposed in the second insertion chamber
1132A in a sliding manner. That is, the movable electrode 132A is movable with the
movable block 133A in the second insertion chamber 1132A. Specifically, a portion
of the movable block 133A my extend from the sliding hole 1133A in the second insertion
chamber 1132A to the first insertion chamber 1131A, so as to be able to abut against
the two plug electrodes 310 when the plug electrodes 310 of the plug electrode group
30 are inserted into the two first insertion chambers 1131A, and to be able to move
in the second insertion chamber 1132A with the insertion of the plug electrodes 310.
For example, two ends or two sides of the movable block 133A facing the first insertion
chambers 1131A may extend to the two first insertion chambers 1131A from the sliding
hole 1133A in communication with the two first insertion chambers 1131A respectively,
so as to be abutted against by the two plug electrodes 310 and pushed by the plug
electrodes 310.
[0053] Specifically, the plug electrodes 310 of the plug electrode group 30, when inserted
into the two first insertion chambers 1131A, abut against the top of the movable block
133A (namely, the top of the movable block 133A facing the insertion hole 114A), and
the movable block 133A can move in the second insertion chamber 1132A and the sliding
hole 1133A under the drive of the two plug electrodes 310 of the plug electrode group
30, such that the movable electrode 132A fixedly connected to the movable block 133A
contacts the two fixed electrodes 131A when the plug electrode group 30 is inserted
to the preset position.
[0054] The movable block 133A is movably disposed in the socket body 110A, to drive the
movable electrode 132A to contact the fixed electrodes 131A. The movable electrode
132A is fixedly connected to the movable block 133A, such that the movement of the
movable electrode 132A can be effectively supported and be stable. By fixing the movable
block 133A, the movable electrode 132A is less likely to shake or shift when contacting
the two fixed electrodes 131A.
[0055] Further, the sliding hole 1133A is provided to connect the first insertion chambers
1131A and the second insertion chamber 1132A, and a portion of the movable block 133A
extends from the sliding hole 1133A into the first insertion chambers 1131A, thereby
limiting the movement of the movable block 133A in the extension direction of the
sliding hole 1133A, making the movement of the movable block 133A more stable and
standardized, and enhancing the stability and reliability of the structure.
[0056] The elastic member 134A is disposed in the insertion space 113A. Specifically, the
elastic member 134A is disposed in the second insertion chamber 1132A and connected
between the movable block 133A and the bottom plate 112A. The elastic member 134A
has an initial state and an elastic compression state. When the movable block 133A
is not pushed, the elastic member 134A is in the initial state. When the movable electrode
132A contacts the two fixed electrodes 131A, the elastic member 134A is in the elastic
compression state.
[0057] Specifically, a support column 1121 extending to the second insertion chamber 1132A
is provided on the side of the bottom plate 112A facing the second insertion chamber
1132A, an accommodating groove 1331 is formed on the side of the movable block facing
the bottom plate 112A, one end of the elastic member 134A is inserted into the accommodating
groove 1331 and abuts against the movable block 133A, and the other end is sleeved
outside the support column 1121 and abuts against the bottom plate 112A.
[0058] In this embodiment, the elastic member 134A further configured to connect the socket
body 110A and the movable block 133A, can generate elastic compression after the plug
electrode group 30 is inserted, and can drive the movable block 133A and the movable
electrode 132A to automatically reset after the plug electrode group 30 is removed,
making it more convenient.
[0059] The movable block 133A, when pushed by the plug electrode 310, can move towards the
bottom plate 112A. When the plug electrode group 30 is inserted into the socket body
110A to push the movable block 133A to move, the elastic member 134A is compressed
with the movement of the movable block 133A. Until the movable electrode 132A contacts
the two fixed electrodes 131A, the elastic member 134A is in the elastic compression
state. When the plug electrode group 30 is not inserted into the socket body 110A,
the elastic member 134A resets the movable block 133A, such that the movable electrode
132A on the movable block 133A separates from the two fixed electrodes 131A until
the elastic member 134A restores to the initial state. For example, the elastic member
134A may be a spring. Alternatively, the elastic member 134A may be other existing
elastic bodies or elastic components, without limitation here.
[0060] Specifically, when the plug electrode group 30 is inserted into the insertion chamber
113 from the insertion hole 114A, the plug electrodes 310 abut against the first insertion
chambers 1131A and extend to the top of the movable block 133A in the first insertion
chambers 1131A, the plug electrodes 310 continue to push and drive the movable block
133A to move in the first insertion chambers 1131A and the sliding hole 1133A, the
movable block compresses the elastic member 134A, and the two plug electrodes 310
contact the two power supply electrodes 121A in the two first insertion chambers 1131A,
respectively. When the two plug electrodes 310 further move to the preset position,
the movable electrode 132A contacts the two fixed electrodes 131A. At this time, the
plug electrodes 310 remain in contact with the two power supply electrodes 121A, the
elastic member 134A is in the elastic compression state, the movable electrode 132A
connects the two fixed electrodes 131A, and the detection electrode assembly 130A
is in the on state to form a current loop and generate detection signals. The detection
signals generated by the detection electrode assembly 130A are transmitted to the
control circuit 220 by the two fixed electrodes 131A, such that the control circuit
220 controls the inverter circuit 210 to open and supply electrical energy to the
two power supply electrodes 121A. When the plug electrode group 30 is not inserted
or removed from the preset position, the elastic member 134A resets the movable block
133A, and the elastic member 134A elastically presses against the movable block 133A,
thereby driving the movable electrode 132A to separate from the two fixed electrodes
131A. At this time, the current loop is disconnected, the detection electrode assembly
130A is in the off state, and the detection electrode assembly 130A cannot transmit
any detection signal to the control circuit 220.
[0061] By configuring the detection electrode assembly 130A, detection signals can be transmitted
to the control circuit 220 after the plug electrodes 310 first contact the power supply
electrodes 121A, and then the control circuit 220 controls the inverter circuit 210
to supply electrical energy to the power supply electrodes 121A, thereby avoiding
the phenomenon of sparking due to changes in voltage and current at the moment when
the plug electrode 310 contact the power supply electrodes 121A. Similarly, when the
plug electrodes 310 are removed from the preset position but still contact the power
supply electrodes 121A, the control circuit 220 controls the inverter circuit 210
to close to stop the power supply, such that the power supply electrodes 121A are
not charged while still in contact with the plug electrodes 310, which can avoid sparks
due to changes in the voltage circuit at the moment when the plug electrodes 310 separate
from the charged power supply electrodes 121A.
[0062] As shown in FIG. 3, the protective door mechanism 140A is movably disposed in the
spacing chamber 115A. The protective door mechanism 140A includes a shielding member
141A and a reset elastic member 142A. The shielding member 141A is provided with a
wedge-shaped portion inclined towards a direction perpendicular to the communication
hole 116A. The wedge-shaped portion of the shielding member 141A can shield or expose
the communication hole 116A and the power supply electrode group 120A in the insertion
space 113A. The reset elastic member 142A is disposed in the middle of the shielding
member 141A.
[0063] Specifically, the protective door mechanism 140A is movable between a first position
and a second position, to shield the communication hole 116A in the first position
and expose the communication hole 116A in the second position. The plug electrodes
310, when inserted into the spacing chamber 115A, first press against the wedge-shaped
portion of the shielding member 141A. When the plug electrodes 310 are pushed forward,
the shielding member 141A is pushed from the first position to the second position
through the wedge-shaped portion, and the elastic member 142A is stretched by the
shielding member 141A. The shielding member 141A, when reaching the second position,
exposes the communication hole 116A and the power supply electrode group 120A in the
insertion space 113A, and the plug electrodes 310 enter the insertion space 113A.
When the plug electrodes 310 are pulled out of the spacing chamber 115A, the elastic
member 142A resets the shielding member 141A, the shielding member 141A returns from
the second position to the first position, and the wedge-shaped portion of the shielding
member 141A re-shields the communication hole 116A and the power supply electrode
group 120A in the insertion space 113A.
[0064] Such settings can prevent water droplets or other conductive articles from falling
onto the socket assembly 10 when not in use to short-circuit the socket assembly 10,
improve the concealment of the power supply electrode group 120A, and enhance safety
performance.
[0065] Based on the above content, an exemplary description of the specific mating process
between the socket assembly 10 and the plug 3 is provided below:
When the plug electrode group 30 is inserted into the electronic apparatus 1 described
in the present application, the plug electrodes 310 of the plug electrode group 30
first pass through the insertion holes 114A and press against the wedge-shaped portion
of the shielding member 141A in the protective door mechanism 140A in the spacing
chamber 115A, the plug electrodes 310 push the shielding member 141A from the first
position to the second position through the wedge-shaped portion, to expose the communication
hole 116A and the power supply electrode group 120A in the insertion space 113A, and
the elastic member 142A is stretched by the shielding member 141A. The plug electrodes
310 of the plug electrode group 30 pass through the communication hole 116A and enter
the insertion space 113A, and the plug electrodes 310 first contact the power supply
electrodes 121A in the first insertion chambers 1131A of the insertion space 113A.
The plug electrodes 310 press against the top of the movable block 133A in the detection
electrode assembly 130A, the plug electrodes 310 push the movable block 133A and drives
the movable electrode 132A on the movable block 133A to move in the first insertion
chambers 1131A, and the elastic member 134A is compressed. When the plug electrodes
310 reach the preset position, the movable electrode 132A comes into contact with
the two fixed electrodes 131A, the movable electrode 132A connects the two fixed electrodes
131A, the detection electrode assembly 130A is in the on state to form a current loop,
and detection signals generated by the detection electrode assembly 130A are transmitted
to the control circuit 220 in the apparatus body 20 by the two fixed electrodes 131A.
The control circuit 220 controls the inverter circuit 210 to output inverter current
to the power supply electrodes 121A of the power supply electrode group 120A, and
the power supply electrodes 121A transmit the inverter current to the plug electrode
group 30.
[0066] When the plug electrode group 30 is pulled out of the electronic apparatus 1 described
in the present application, the plug electrodes 310 of the plug electrode group 30
first separate from the movable block 133A of the detection electrode assembly 130A,
the elastic member 134A in the detection electrode assembly 130A resets the movable
block 133A, and the movable electrode 132A on the movable block 133A separates from
the two fixed electrodes 131A. At this time, the current loop is disconnected, the
detection electrode assembly 130A is in the off state, the detection electrode assembly
130A cannot transmit any detection signal to the control circuit 220, and the control
circuit 220 controls the inverter circuit 210 to stop outputting inverter current
to the power supply electrodes 121A. After the power supply electrodes 121A stop outputting
inverter current, the plug electrodes 310 separate from the power supply electrodes
121A, the insertion space 113A, and the spacing chamber 115A and leave the socket
assembly 10 from the insertion hole 114A, and the wedge-shaped portion of the shielding
member 141A in the protective door mechanism 140A is reset by the elastic member 142A,
to re-shield the communication hole 116A and the power supply electrode group 120A
in the insertion space 113A.
[0067] Secondly, the socket assembly 10B may refer to the following exemplary description:
As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the socket assembly 10B may include a socket body 110B,
a power supply electrode group 120B, and a detection electrode assembly 130B.
[0068] The power supply electrode group 120B is disposed on the socket body 110B. The detection
electrode assembly 130B is disposed on the socket body 110B. The plug electrode group
30 of the plug 3 may be inserted into the socket body 110B and contact the power supply
electrode group 120B. The detection electrode assembly 130B may be used for detecting
the insertion state of the plug electrode group 30.
[0069] When the plug electrode group 30 is inserted into the socket body 110B, the power
supply electrode group 120B can contact the plug electrode group 30 inserted into
the socket body 110B and can transmit current to the plug electrode group 30. The
detection electrode assembly 130B has an off state and an on state. When the plug
electrode group 30 is not inserted to the preset position, the detection electrode
assembly 130B is in the off state. When the plug electrode group 30 is inserted to
the preset position, the detection electrode assembly 130B is in the on state to form
a current loop.
[0070] Specifically, in the electronic apparatus 1, the power supply electrode group 120B
may be electrically connected to the inverter circuit 210. The detection electrode
assembly 130B may be electrically connected to the control circuit 220. The control
circuit 220 is used for, triggered by the detection electrode assembly 130B, controlling
the inverter circuit 210 and supplying power to the outside through the power supply
electrode group 120B when the detection electrode assembly 130B is in the on state,
and controlling the inverter circuit 210 to stop supplying power to the outside when
the detection electrode assembly 130B is in the off state.
[0071] In this embodiment, the detection electrode assembly 130B is disposed in the socket
assembly 10, to detect the insertion of the plug electrode group 30 during use; when
the plug electrode group 30 is inserted to the preset position of the socket body
110B, the detection electrode assembly 130B is in the on state to form a current loop
and transmit detection signals to the control circuit 220 of the apparatus body 20;
the plug electrode group 30 is further inserted into the socket body 110B and contacts
the power supply electrode group 120 B, and the control circuit 220 of the apparatus
body 20 controls the inverter circuit 210 to transmit inverter current to the socket
assembly 10. When the plug electrode group 30 is not inserted to the preset position,
the detection electrode assembly 130B is in the off state without forming a current
loop or generating a detection signal, and the control circuit 220 controls the inverter
circuit 210 to stop supplying power to the outside, which can solve the problem that
the standby socket still supplies power, reduce unnecessary power consumption, effectively
save energy, and improve the safety of the socket.
[0072] As shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, the socket body 110B may include a base 111B and a
cover 112B. The base 111B is connected to the cover 112B.
[0073] The socket body 110B is provided with an insertion space 113B and two insertion holes
114B, where the two insertion holes are in communication with the insertion space
113B. The socket body 110B is provided with two first electrode slots 115B, where
the two first electrode slots 115B are formed at a bottom of the insertion space 113B
and are in communication with the insertion space 113B. The socket body 110B is provided
with two fixing slots 116B, where the two fixing slots 116B are spaced apart in the
vertical direction on a side of the insertion space 113B.
[0074] Specifically, the cover 112B is disposed above the base 111B. The insertion space
113B is formed between the base 111B and the cover 112B. The two insertion holes 114B
are formed in the cover 112B. The two insertion holes 114B may be in communication
with the insertion space 113B. The two first electrode slots 115B and the two fixing
slots 116B are both formed inside the base 111B.
[0075] Specifically, the power supply electrode group 120B and the detection electrode assembly
130B are both disposed inside the base 111B. The power supply electrode group 120B
is disposed at a bottom of the base 111B and extends out of the base 111B. The detection
electrode assembly 130B may be inserted into the base 111B and extends out of the
base 111B.
[0076] The plug electrode group 30 includes at least two plug electrodes 310. Through the
insertion holes 114B, the two plug electrodes 310 can be inserted into the base 111B
to trigger the detection electrode assembly 130B, and contact the power supply electrode
group 120B.
[0077] Specifically, a mounting groove 117B in communication with the two insertion holes
114B is formed on the side of the cover 112B away from the base 111B, such that when
the plug electrode group 30 is accommodated in the mounting groove 117B, the plug
electrodes 310 can be inserted into the insertion space 113B via the insertion holes
114B, to abut against the power supply electrode group 120B.
[0078] The insertion space 113B is used for accommodating the power supply electrode group
120B and the detection electrode assembly 130B. The two plug electrodes 310 of the
plug electrode group 30 can enter the insertion space 113B, and in the insertion space
113B, contact the power supply electrode group 120B and trigger the detection electrode
assembly 130B. Specifically, a fixing plate 118B is provided in the insertion space
113B, the detection electrode assembly 130B is disposed on one side of the fixing
plate 118B, and the power supply electrode group 120B is disposed on the side of the
fixing plate 118B away from the detection electrode assembly 130B.
[0079] Further, the fixing plate 118B is provided with at least one communication hole 119B,
and the two plug electrodes 310 of the plug electrode group 30 pass through the fixing
plate 118B via the communication hole 119B and abut against the power supply electrode
group 120B. The fixing plate 118B is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the insertion
space 113B, and the two first electrode slots 115B and the two communication holes
119B are disposed opposite in one-to-one correspondence.
[0080] Specifically, the two first electrode slots 115B are disposed on the side of the
fixing plate 118B away from the detection electrode assembly 130B, to accommodate
the power supply electrode group 120B. The two plug electrodes 310 of the plug electrode
group 30 can enter the two first electrode slots 115B and contact the power supply
electrode group 120B via the communication holes 119B on the fixing plate 118B.
[0081] Specifically, the two fixing slots 116B are disposed on side walls of the base 111B,
and the two fixing slots 116B are spaced apart to accommodate some components of the
detection electrode assembly 130B.
[0082] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, the power supply electrode group 120B includes
two power supply electrodes 121B. The detection electrode assembly 130B includes a
movable block 131B, a movable electrode 132B, and two fixed electrodes 133B.
[0083] Specifically, the power supply electrode group 120B is disposed on the socket body
110B, so as to be able to contact the plug electrode group 30 inserted into the socket
body 110B. Specifically, the two plug electrodes 310 may be inserted into the socket
body 110B to contact the two power supply electrodes 121B. The two power supply electrodes
121B may be connected to a live wire and a neutral line, to connect the plug electrode
group 30 to the live wire and the neutral line, respectively.
[0084] Optionally, the power supply electrode group 120B may further include a ground electrode
122B. The ground electrode 122B is disposed on the socket body 110B for grounding
and has two electrode portions 123B. The two electrode portions 123B extend into the
mounting groove 117B via the insertion space 113B, and a line connecting the two electrode
portions 123B intersects with a line connecting the two insertion holes 114B. Specifically,
the ground electrode 122B is spaced apart from the two power supply electrodes 121B.
[0085] Specifically, the two insertion holes 114B are disposed opposite to the two power
supply electrodes 121B, and the two power supply electrodes 121B are disposed on the
side of the fixing plate 118B away from the movable block 131B. The at least one communication
hole 119B corresponds one to one with and is disposed opposite to at least one power
supply electrode 121B located on the side opposite to the fixing plate 118B, such
that the corresponding plug electrode 310 in the plug electrode group 30 is inserted
and abuts against the corresponding power supply electrode 121B. Optionally, the quantity
of the at least one communication hole 119B is two, the two communication holes 119B
correspond one to one with the power supply electrodes 121B, and the two plug electrodes
310 pass through the fixing plate 118B via the communication holes 119B and abut against
the two power supply electrodes 121B.
[0086] Specifically, the two power supply electrodes 121B are accommodated in the two first
electrode slots 115B respectively and partially extend out of the socket body 110B.
The portions of the two power supply electrodes 121B that extend out of the socket
body 110B are connected to the inverter circuit 210 in the apparatus body 20. The
inverter circuit 210 may supply power to the plug electrode group 30 through the two
power supply electrodes 121B.
[0087] The detection electrode assembly 130B may be disposed on the socket body 110B, to
detect whether the plug electrode group 30 is inserted to the preset position in the
socket body 110B. The movable block 131B is disposed on the socket body 110B in a
sliding manner. The movable electrode 132B is fixedly connected to the movable block
131B, and the two fixed electrodes 133B are disposed on the socket body 110B at interval.
The movable block 131B can drive the movable electrode 132B to slide, and the movable
electrode 132B can simultaneously contact the two fixed electrodes 133B or separate
from at least one fixed electrode 133B.
[0088] The two fixed electrodes 133B are disposed in the two fixing slots 116B in one-to-one
correspondence, and the two fixed electrodes 133B pass through the bottom of the insertion
space 113B and extend out of the socket body 110B. Further, the two fixed electrodes
133B are disposed in the two fixing slots 116B on the sides of the insertion space
113B, and are spaced apart in the vertical direction. Specifically, the two fixed
electrodes 133B are electrically connected to the control circuit 220 respectively,
to transmit detection signals to the control circuit 220. Specifically, the control
circuit 220 is used for, triggered by the two fixed electrodes 133B, controlling the
inverter circuit 210 to supply power to the outside through the power electrode group
120B when the two fixed electrodes 133B are connected, and controlling the inverter
circuit 210 to stop supplying power to the outside when the two fixed electrodes 133B
are disconnected.
[0089] Specifically, the movable block 131B is spaced apart from the power supply electrodes
121B, the movable block 131B is disposed on one side of the fixing plate 118B in a
sliding manner, and at least one power supply electrode 121B is disposed on the other
opposite side of the fixing plate 118B. Such settings can reduce the possibilities
of interference and short circuits due to contact between the power supply electrode
group 120B and the detection electrode assembly 130B.
[0090] The movable block 131B is used for abutting against the plug electrodes 310 inserted
into the socket body 110B, and slides in a direction perpendicular to the insertion
direction of the plug electrodes 310 with the movement of the plug electrodes 310,
thereby driving the movable electrode 132B to simultaneously contact the two fixed
electrodes 133B or separate from at least one fixed electrode 133B.
[0091] Specifically, the movable block 131B has a wedge-shaped portion 1311 on the portion
for shielding the at least one communication hole 119B, the wedge-shaped portion 1311
is inclined relative to the vertical direction, and the wedge-shaped portion 1311
is used for abutting against the corresponding plug electrode 310, so as to slide
towards the vertical direction under push by the corresponding plug electrode 310.
Specifically, when the plug electrode group is not inserted into the socket body 110B,
the movable block 131B shields the at least one communication hole 119B. When the
plug electrode group is inserted into the socket body 110B, the plug electrodes 310
push the movable block 131B to slide towards the vertical direction through the wedge-shaped
portion 1311, such that the movable block 131B exposes the originally shielded communication
hole 119B. The plug electrodes 310 continue to push over the movable block 131B, and
pass through the fixing plate 118B via the communication holes 119B. At this time,
the plug electrode group 30 is in the predicted position.
[0092] Specifically, when the plug electrode group 30 is not inserted to the preset position,
the movable electrode 132B separates from at least one fixed electrode 133B, to form
an open circuit between the two fixed electrodes 133B; when the plug electrode group
30 is inserted to the preset position, the movable electrode 132B contacts the two
fixed electrodes 133B simultaneously, to connect the two fixed electrodes 133B, for
forming a current loop.
[0093] The movable electrode 132B is disposed on a side of the movable block 131B, the side
being opposite to the two fixing slots 116B. The movable electrode 132B is provided
with a limit portion 1321B, and the movable electrode 132B is fixedly connected to
the movable block 131B by the limit portion 1321B, such that the movable electrode
132B can slide along with the sliding of the movable block 131B.
[0094] Further, a limit slot 1312B is formed on the side of the movable block 131B opposite
to the two fixing slots 116B, the limit portion 1321B is movably inserted into the
limit slot 1312B, a limit elastic member 1313B is provided in the limit slot 1312B,
and the limit elastic member 1313B is elastically connected to the movable block 131B
and the limit portion 1321B, such that the movable electrode 132B elastically abuts
against the two fixed electrodes 133B. By providing the limit elastic member 1313B,
the movable electrode 132B can elastically abut against the two fixed electrodes 133B
under the pressure of the limit elastic member 1313B, thereby improving the tightness
of the detection electrode assembly 130B, and reducing the possibility that the movable
electrode 132B cannot contact the two fixed electrodes 133B when the movable block
131B moves.
[0095] The detection electrode assembly 130B includes an elastic member 134B, the elastic
member 134B is disposed on the socket body 110B, and the elastic member 134B is connected
to the socket body 110B and the movable block 131B. When the movable electrode 132B
contacts the two fixed electrodes 133B, the elastic member 134B is in an elastic compression
state. When the plug electrode group 30 is not inserted into the socket body 110B,
the elastic member 134B resets the movable block 131B, such that the movable electrode
132B separates from at least one fixed electrode 133B. Specifically, one end of the
elastic member is connected to the movable block 131B, and the other end is connected
to the fixing plate 118B or the socket body 110B. As such, when the plug 3 is not
inserted into the socket body 110B, the movable block 131B shields the communication
holes 119B to shield the power supply electrodes 121B, so as to prevent water droplets
or other conductive objects from falling into the socket body 110B to cause short
circuits and fires.
[0096] Based on the above content, an exemplary description of the specific mating process
between the socket assembly 10B and the plug 3 is provided below:
When the plug electrode group 30 is inserted into the socket body 110B, the plug electrodes
310 enter the insertion space 113B via the insertion holes 114B on the cover 112B.
The plug electrodes 310 first abut against the wedge-shaped portion 1311 of the movable
block 131B. The wedge-shaped portion 1311, pushed by the corresponding plug electrodes
310, slides towards the vertical direction, such that the movable block 131B slides
on one side of the fixing plate 118B and compresses the elastic member 134B. The movable
electrode 132B, disposed on the side of the movable block 131B, also slides with the
movable block 131B. The movable block 131B exposes the communication holes 119B on
the fixing plate 118B and the power supply electrodes 121B on the other side of the
fixing plate 118B. The plug electrodes 310 then cross the movable block 131B, pass
through the fixing plate 118B via the communication holes 119B, and reach the preset
position. The movable electrode 132B contacts the two fixed electrodes 133B, the two
fixed electrodes 133B being disposed in the two fixing slots 116B on the sides of
the insertion space 113B. The movable electrode 132B connects the two fixed electrodes
133B, to form a current loop. At this time, the detection electrode assembly 130B
is in an on state, and can generate detection signals and transmit the detection signals
to the control circuit 220. The plug electrodes 310 continue to advance and contact
the power supply electrodes 121B. The plug electrodes 310, located in the mounting
groove 117B, contact the ground electrode 122B. At this time, the control circuit
220 controls the inverter circuit 210, and the inverter circuit 210 supplies power
to the plug electrode group 30 via the power supply electrodes 121B of the power supply
electrode group 120B.
[0097] When the plug electrode group 30 is pulled out of the electronic apparatus 1 described
in the present application, the plug electrodes 310 separate from the power supply
electrodes 121B, then leave the fixing plate 118B via the communication holes 119B,
and separate from the movable block 131B. The elastic member 134B recovers from the
elastic compression state, and resets the movable block 131B to re-shield the communication
holes 119B and the power supply electrodes 121B. The movable block 131B drives the
movable electrode 132B to separate from at least one fixed electrode 133B. At this
time, the current loop is disconnected, and the detection electrode assembly 130B
is in an off state and cannot transmit detection signals to the control circuit 220,
such that the control circuit 220 controls the inverter circuit 210 to stop supplying
power to the plug electrode group 30.
[0098] In summary, the power supply electrode group 120A (120B) and the detection electrode
assembly 130A (130B) are provided on the socket assembly 10, where the detection electrode
assembly 130A (130B) detects the insertion state of the plug electrode group 30. When
the plug electrode group 30 is inserted to the preset position and contacts the power
supply electrode group 120A (120B), the detection electrode assembly 130A (130B) is
in an on state, which can form a current loop and then generate a detection signal.
The detection signal can be provided to the control circuit 220, and the control circuit
220 controls the inverter circuit 210 to supply power to the outside through the power
supply electrode group 120A (120B). As such, the phenomenon of sparking at the moment
of insertion of a plug can be effectively solved, and safety hazards of a socket during
use can be reduced. Meanwhile, when the plug electrode group 30 is not inserted to
the preset position, the detection electrode assembly 130A (130B) is in an off state
without forming a current loop or generating a detection signal, and the control circuit
220 controls the inverter circuit 210 to stop supplying power to the outside, which
can solve the problem that the standby socket still supplies power, reduce unnecessary
power consumption, and effectively save energy.
