Each of the separable panels may in turn be used as a unitary panel in order to present a unitary design and use of the panel. In another technical scheme, the wall socket has a waterproof structure and can be specially used for the electricity-taking operation of a user in a humid environment. In order to achieve these effects, the present invention will hereinafter disclose a detailed description of several technical solutions.

The technical scheme 1: the wall socket panel structure comprises a first panel used for power-taking operation and a second panel connected with the first panel, wherein the first panel and the second panel are respectively provided with a power-taking socket, and the second panel is arranged to be separated from the first panel along a rotating shaft in a turnover manner. In a preferred embodiment, the first and second panels are disposed on a main body of a wall socket panel, or more panels may be disposed to facilitate the user's power-on requirement.

In one embodiment, the first and second panels are completely enclosed by a housing. On the basis, in order to realize a complete coating and sealing structure, a wire accommodating groove suitable for accommodating a lead of a power taking plug is formed in the bottom side of the shell. The shape of the wire accommodating groove can be changed according to the structure and the position of the inserted power taking plug.

In an effect of such an embodiment, the turning of the second panel may facilitate the housing to better spatially enclose the main portion of the power plug, for example, some sockets are designed as long straight type rather than bent type main body configurations, in this embodiment, the position of the power plug is adjusted by turning the second panel to better close the housing.

The technical scheme 2 is as follows: the waterproof socket panel comprises a first panel used for power taking operation and a second panel connected with the first panel, wherein the first panel and the second panel are respectively provided with a power taking socket, and the first surface and the second surface are completely covered by a shell.

In one embodiment, the second panel is configured to be reversibly detached from the first panel along a rotation axis.

As an improvement, the first and second panels that are received one another are recessed into the wall. One effect of this is that the socket can better guide the insertion by the recess configuration without having to find the position of the socket. Another effect is to prevent fluid from flowing vertically into the socket.

As another improvement, the housing has smoothly curved sides with an extended flange that fits into the top of the waterproof receptacle panel.

On the basis, the waterproof socket panel smoothly extends from the top to the side of the waterproof socket panel to form at least one guide groove, wherein the extending flange extends into the guide groove at the top of the wall socket panel structure.

Further, the guide groove partitions the waterproof socket panel in a longitudinal direction, and the housing side portion is configured to entirely cover one of the partitioned side portions.

As a further improvement, a wire accommodating groove suitable for accommodating a lead of a power-taking plug is formed in the bottom side of the shell.

As a refinement, the housing has smoothly curved sides with an extended flange that is embedded into the top of the waterproof receptacle panel.

In addition, the watertight socket panel has at least one guide groove extending smoothly from the top to the side thereof, wherein the extension flange extends into the guide groove at the top of the wall socket panel structure.

On the basis, the guide groove divides the waterproof socket panel in the longitudinal direction, and the shell side part is used for completely coating one of the divided side parts.

As another improvement, a wire accommodating groove suitable for accommodating a lead of a power taking plug is formed in the bottom side of the shell.

As a further improvement, the outer peripheral surfaces of the first and second panels are wrapped with waterproof structures, and the inner side of the shell is provided with a waterproof baffle matched with the waterproof structure in shape.

On this basis, waterproof construction and waterproof baffle have the accommodation space who holds the electricity plug structure after mutual contact.

The reversible socket panel structure has various effects, and the turnover separated panel structures can prevent a plug part for taking electricity from the panel from being incapable of being inserted into an electricity taking socket on the panel due to space limitation, so that each electricity taking socket on the panel can be effectively utilized. Each of the separable panels may in turn be used as a unitary panel in order to present a unitary design and use of the panel. Moreover, the wall socket has a waterproof structure and can be specially used for the electricity-taking operation of a user in a humid environment.

Detailed Description

All exemplary embodiments of the present invention are based on the most fundamental idea of the invention to provide a wall socket panel construction, thereby eliminating the drawbacks associated with the current practice of power-up operations. In one general aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, a socket panel may be separated according to a user's needs or habits, and in order to achieve the separation, a rotation mechanism is provided in the socket panel structure main body.

Example 1: reversible wall socket panel

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, a wall socket panel structure 100 of the present invention includes a first panel 110 for power-taking operation and a second panel 12 received therein, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the first and second panels are disposed in a socket panel main body 10, and each of the first and second panels is provided with a power-taking socket, for example, a power-taking socket 11 disposed on the first panel 110, wherein the second panel 12 is disposed to be separated from the first panel 110 along a rotation axis in a reversible manner. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the second panel 12 is coincident with and extends in plan from the first panel 110, and in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the second panel 12 is separated (e.g., broken) from the first panel 110 by flipping over.

In one embodiment, the first and second panels may be completely enclosed by a single enclosure 20. In one example, the housing may be plastic or similar insulating material, transparent, translucent, or a combination thereof. In another example, the bottom side of the casing is provided with a wire accommodating groove 21 suitable for accommodating a lead of a power-taking plug. For example, the housing 20 may be constructed as a generally rectangular body that is designed to be smoothly curved at the top and bottom and at the receiving edges of the body 10, thereby allowing fluid (e.g., water) present on the surface of the housing 20 to flow directly down the surface without accumulation. For better waterproof effect, a contact member (e.g., a rotating shaft) at a position where the top of the housing 20 is engaged with the main body 10 may be provided in a built-in type, so that there is no gap on the housing 20 where leakage is possible.

As a variant, according to the specific illustration of fig. 3, the first and second panels, which are mutually engaged, are recessed into the wall, i.e. at a certain height difference from the front surface of the body 10, so as to prevent the fluid from directly flowing into the socket 11 and causing short circuit or corrosion when it penetrates into the first or second panel. In one embodiment shown in fig. 2, the housing 20 has smoothly curved sides with an extended flange 203 that is embedded into the top of the body 10 of the wall socket panel structure 100. Fig. 2 is a side view of such a housing 20 in a use state after covering (e.g., snapping) the main body 10, wherein the housing 20 is shown in a dotted line. As shown in fig. 2, the side length of the housing 20 is greater than that of the main body 10, which has the effect that the main body 10 and its power-supplying plug (e.g., the three-wire plug 31 or the two-wire plug 32) can be completely accommodated in any case, for example, the side length of the housing 20 greater than the bottom portion 201 of the main body 10 can be set according to the length of the plug 32 plugged at the bottom side of the main body 10.

Further, the wall socket panel structure extends smoothly from its top to its sides 14 with at least one guide slot 13, wherein the extension flange 203 extends into the guide slot 131 at the top of the body 10 of the wall socket panel structure 100.

Example 2: wall socket panel with waterproof function

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment 1, the waterproof receptacle panel may include a first panel 110 and a second panel 12 received by the first panel, wherein the first and second panels are respectively provided with a power outlet (e.g., a three-wire outlet 11), and the first and second panels are completely covered by the housing 20.

In a variant, the second panel 12 is arranged to be reversibly detachable from the first panel 110 along the rotation axis R2 shown in fig. 3. A flipped state of the second panel 12 is visually illustrated in fig. 3. According to the foregoing embodiment, the first and second panels that are received in each other are recessed into the wall. For example, the recessed configuration may be vertical as shown in fig. 3, or may have a certain recessed curvature, but the vertical recessed configuration is most advantageous in preventing the flowing water from flowing into the socket 11. The concave structure with certain concave curvature is convenient for a user to better insert the power-taking plug under the guiding action of the concave structure.

Further, referring to fig. 2, the housing 20 has smoothly curved sides with an extended flange 203 that is embedded into the top of the waterproof receptacle panel. The watertight socket panel has a guide slot 13 extending smoothly from the top to the side of the panel, wherein the extension flange 203 extends into the guide slot 131 at the top of the wall socket panel structure. One effect of this is that the portion of the extended flange 203 wedged into the guide groove 131 enables water or water splashed on the surface of the outer case 20 to be blocked by the wedged portion when, for example, the outer case 20 is fastened, and thus the water flow will flow into the guide groove 131, and thus the water flow will be accumulated in the guide groove 131 and flow down along the guide groove at the side of the main body 10 extending along the guide groove 131.

In the example shown in fig. 2, the guide groove 13 divides the side portion 14 of the waterproof receptacle panel in the longitudinal direction, for example, into a front side portion 141 and a rear side portion 142, and the side portion of the housing 20 may be used to completely cover one of the divided side portions 141. According to the above configuration, the bottom side of the casing 20 is opened with a wire-receiving slot 21 adapted to receive a lead wire of a power-taking plug, thereby completely covering any conductive parts inside the casing 20.

As a modification, the outer peripheral surfaces of the first and second panels are covered with a waterproof structure 16, and a waterproof baffle (not shown) matched with the waterproof structure 16 is arranged inside the casing 20. Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, the waterproof structure 16 and the waterproof baffle have an accommodating space 202 for accommodating a structure of a power-taking plug (e.g., the plug 31) after contacting each other. The waterproof structure 16 is preferably a waterproof collar made of waterproof material, such as silicone, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the waterproof collar is wrapped around the outer periphery of the first panel 110 and extends into the first panel 110 and can extend to the bottom 15 of the main body 10, such that the effect of the waterproof collar 20 being larger than the bottom portion 201 of the main body 10 is that after wrapping the main body 10, water flow cannot flow into the joint gap between the bottom portion 201 of the waterproof collar 20 and the bottom 15 of the main body 10. In a preferred example, the inner periphery of the wire-receiving groove 21 can be designed with the waterproof structure 16, and the waterproof baffle can also be provided with a waterproof layer corresponding to the shape of the waterproof collar, for example, the waterproof layer can be made of any non-hydrophilic material.

In one embodiment, the housing 20 is removably mounted on the main body 10, for example by means of a bayonet 17 which snaps onto the top region of the main body 10, the bayonet 17 being of circular concave configuration, which has the effect that said housing 20 can be screwed about the axis H in the direction R1, so that the peripheral sides of the main body 10 will be completely closed.

In another variation, the second panel 12 is configured to extend outwardly from the bottom side of the first panel 110 along the axis of rotation H, such as in the direction R4 shown in fig. 4. In the example shown in fig. 4, the first panel 110 and the second panel 12 are mutually received and located in different planes, unlike the previous way, when the second panel 12 is not used, the second panel 12 is hidden in the main body 10, in one embodiment, the main body of the first panel 110 can be set to a reciprocating push type structure, when the user needs to use the socket on the second panel 12, the user can (for example) press the control key 111 to eject the second panel 12, which has an effect that the second panel 12 is located at the bottom side of the main body 10, thereby saving the power-taking operation space of the front part of the main body 10. Alternatively, a portion of the bottom 15 of the body 10 may be designed as a cover plate and removable to facilitate different power plug configuration requirements.

Or as shown in fig. 3, the second panel 12 can be taken out from the bottom of the first panel 110 along the direction R3 so as to be flush with the first panel 12 when taken out to the locking position, which has the effect that a user can conveniently observe and perform the operation of inserting the plug after taking out the second panel 110, and then press the second panel 110 into the initial position of the second panel 12 after inserting the plug (e.g., the two-wire plug 32), so as to save the power-taking operation space of the front portion of the main body 10 and make the housing 20 more effectively buckled.

Further, referring to fig. 2, the housing 20 has smoothly curved sides with an extended flange 203 that is embedded into the top of the waterproof receptacle panel. The watertight socket panel has a guide slot 13 extending smoothly from the top to the side of the panel, wherein the extension flange 203 extends into the guide slot 131 at the top of the wall socket panel structure. One effect of this is that the portion of the extended flange 203 wedged into the guide groove 131 enables water or water splashed on the surface of the outer case 20 to be blocked by the wedged portion when, for example, the outer case 20 is fastened, and thus the water flow will flow into the guide groove 131, and thus the water flow will be accumulated in the guide groove 131 and flow down along the guide groove at the side of the main body 10 extending along the guide groove 131. In the example shown in fig. 2, the bottom portion 201 of the housing 20, which is larger than the main body 10, is provided with a guide groove 213 corresponding to the position of the guide groove 13, so that the water flows down along the guide groove 213.
