Description

Safety socket and plug with identification function and safety socket equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a socket, and more particularly, to a safety socket and plug with identification function and a safety socket device.

Background

With the development of science and technology, the life of people is greatly improved, more and more electric appliances and electronic products enter the life of people, great convenience is brought to the life of people, and the life quality of people is greatly improved. But the electronic products bring some trouble and trouble to the life of people while changing the life of people.

For example, a socket device which is visible everywhere in life is likely to become a fire-guide cable for electric shock of people, and seriously affects the life safety of people. For example, in life, for convenience, we often put the socket in the place where the tentacle is accessible in our life to make things convenient for our use, but because of unknowing and curious driving, children may insert fingers or other conductive objects such as iron wires, keys and the like into the socket holes when parents are not paying attention, thereby causing electric shock accidents and causing great potential safety hazards to the life safety of children.

In the existing plug and socket, when the plug is correspondingly inserted into the jack of the socket, the plug is conducted with the socket, an electric appliance connected with the plug can be electrified, and sometimes even under the condition that the power of the plug and the power of the socket are not matched, the socket and the plug can be conducted with each other and connected as long as the plug is correspondingly inserted into the jack of the socket. For example, when the working power of an electrical appliance connected with the plug is greater than the upper limit of the working power which can be borne by the socket, the socket is damaged due to the fact that the working power exceeds the standard when the working relationship of the plug and the socket is maintained to be communicated for a long time, and the socket generates a large amount of heat to cause spontaneous combustion, so that fire accidents occur, and huge losses are caused to lives and properties of people.

In addition, in the existing socket and plug, the socket device cannot identify the inserted plug device, that is, as long as the pins of the plug can be correspondingly inserted into the jacks of the socket, the socket and the plug can be mutually conducted, so that some plugs or sockets with unsecured quality can be used in a large number of life, and thus, great potential safety hazards are caused to the electricity market. For example, when a user cannot meet the requirement of the quality, a plug with potential safety hazard may be inserted into the socket for use, and then in the use process, an electricity accident may happen due to the fact that the quality of the plug cannot meet the requirement, so that huge losses are caused to life and property safety of people. It should be noted that it is difficult for general consumers to judge the quality of the socket or the plug by their own ability, so that a large number of unqualified articles can be circulated in the market, and great potential safety hazards are caused to life and property safety of people.

In addition, the existing socket cannot effectively identify and judge whether the sum of the working efficiencies of the electrical appliances connected with the connected pins exceeds the upper limit of the working efficiency which can be born by the socket, for example, a socket capable of being connected with a plurality of plugs, when the socket capable of being connected with a plurality of plugs is simultaneously connected with a plurality of plugs of high-power electrical equipment, the multifunctional socket can be damaged due to too high working load, and in severe cases, electricity utilization accidents can occur, so that huge losses are caused to life and property safety of people. In the existing socket, even when the work load of the pins of the electrical appliance inserted into the socket exceeds the maximum load that the socket can bear, the existing socket cannot be effectively known and a prompt is sent out, so that a huge potential safety hazard exists.

When the plug 20 is placed near the side of the safety socket 10 having the identification function, the shielding film 33 provided on the side of the housing 12 can shield the identification of the identification tag 32 provided on the plug 20 by the identifier 31 provided on the safety socket 10 having the identification function. Preferably, the shielding film 33 is disposed inside the peripheral wall of the housing 12, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the shielding film 33 may be disposed outside the peripheral wall of the housing 12 or integrally formed with the peripheral wall of the housing 12, which is not a limitation of the present invention.

For example, in life, after the plug 20 is pulled out from the safety socket 10 with identification function, people tend to get used to place the plug 20 beside the safety socket 10 with identification function, so that the plug 20 is still within the identification area of the identifier 31, the identifier 31 can still identify the identification tag 32 provided on the plug 20, the identifier 31 sends the identification information 34 to the control device 40, and the control device 40 controls the switch device 50 to be in an open state, so that even if the plug 20 has been pulled out from the safety socket 10 with identification function, the switch device 50 is still in an open state, and at this time, when a conductive object is inserted into the safety socket 10 with identification function, the conductive object is electrically connected to the safety socket 10 with identification function, thereby an electric shock accident occurs. In the safety socket provided by the invention, the shielding film 33 is arranged around the shell 12, and when the plug 20 is placed in the vicinity of the outer side of the safety socket 10 with identification function, the identifier 31 can only identify the plug in the front area of the safety socket 10 with identification function, but cannot identify the plug placed in the vicinity of the side of the safety socket 10 with identification function due to the shielding effect of the shielding film 33. In this way, when the plug 20 is placed near the side of the safety socket 10 with the identification function, the identifier 31 provided to the safety socket 10 with the identification function cannot identify the plug 20, so that the identifier 31 does not send the identification information 34 to the control device 40, and the control device 40 controls the switching device 50 to be in the off state so as to disconnect the electrical connection between the socket module 111 and the external circuit, thereby effectively preventing the occurrence of an electric shock accident.

The safety socket further has a power supply device 60, the power supply device 60 being provided in the housing 12, and the power supply device 60 being electrically connected to the identifier 31, the power supply device 60 being adapted to supply electrical power to the identifier 31 to enable the identifier 31 to operate.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the reminding device 43 may also be implemented as a voice reminding device, and when the judging device 42 judges that the work load of the electrical appliance 200 exceeds the maximum load that can be borne by the safety socket 10 with identification function, the reminding device 43 implemented as a voice reminding device sends out a reminder in a voice manner to remind the user that the work load of the electrical appliance 200 exceeds the maximum load that can be borne by the safety socket 10 with identification function, and there may be a safety hazard. Of course, it should also be understood by those skilled in the art that the prompting device 43 may also be implemented as a combination of a voice prompting device and a light prompting device, and is not meant to limit the invention herein.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that, when the safety socket 10 having the identification function is implemented as a socket including a plurality of the socket units 11, the safety socket 10 having the identification function may be simultaneously plugged with a plurality of the plugs 20, the identifier 31 provided to the safety socket 10 having the identification function may identify the identification tags 32 provided to the plugs 20, respectively, and send the identified identification information 34 to the control device 40, and the control device 40 may determine whether the sum of loads of the electrical appliances 200 connected to the plugs 20 exceeds the maximum working load that the safety socket 10 having the identification function can withstand, and if the sum of loads of the electrical appliances 200 exceeds the maximum load that the safety socket 10 having the identification function can withstand, the reminding device 43 sends a reminder and controls the switching device 50 to be in the off state, so that the connection between the socket module 111 and the external circuit is disconnected; if the sum of the loads of the electric appliances 200 does not exceed the maximum load that can be borne by the safety socket 10 with identification function, the switching device 50 is controlled to be in an open state, so that the socket module 111 is connected to an external circuit, and the electric appliances 200 are electrically connected to the external circuit, so that the electric appliances 200 connected to each plug 20 are operated.

It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the first receiving chamber 123 and the second receiving chamber 124 may be formed in one of the housings 12, and that the first receiving chamber 123 and the second receiving chamber 124 may also be formed in two separate housings, which are not limiting of the invention.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that, in the present preferred embodiment, only when the safety socket 10 with the identification function is horizontally placed and the receptacle 121 of the safety socket 10 with the identification function is upwardly directed is described as an example, the second receiving cavity 124 is located below the first receiving cavity 123, and those skilled in the art should understand that the second receiving cavity 124 is located behind the first receiving cavity 123 when the safety socket 10 with the identification function is used while being fixed to a vertical wall, and those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited thereto.

As shown in fig. 10 to 12, a second modified embodiment of the safety socket with identification function provided by the present invention is described, in which the safety socket 10 with identification function is implemented as a multi-hole socket, the socket module 111 further includes a first module 1111, a second module 1112 and a third module 1113, the switching device 50 further includes a first switching device 51, a second switching device 52 and a third switching device 53, and the first switching device 51, the second switching device 52 and the third switching device 53 respectively correspond to the first module 111, the second module 1112 and the third module 1113 for respectively controlling the connection or disconnection of the first module 1111, the second module 1112 and the third module 1113 from an external circuit.

Correspondingly, the identifier 31 includes a first identifier 311, a second identifier 312, and a third identifier 313, where the first identifier 311, the second identifier 312, and the third identifier 313 correspond to the first module 111, the second module 1112, and the third module 1113, respectively, and the first identifier 311, the second identifier 312, and the third identifier 313 are disposed on the sides of the first module 1111, the second module 1112, and the third module 1113, respectively, so as to respectively and correspondingly identify whether the plug 20 plugged in the module has the identification tag 32.

The first switching means 51, the second switching means 52 and the third switching means 53 are controllably connected to the control means 40, respectively, the control means 40 being adapted to control the opening or closing of the first switching means 51, the second switching means 52 and the third switching means 53, respectively. The first identifier 311, the second identifier 312 and the third identifier 313 are communicatively connected to the control device 40, respectively, and the first identifier 311, the second identifier 312 and the third identifier 313 are adapted to send the identification information 34 to the control device 40 for controlling the opening or closing of the first switching device 51, the second switching device 52 and the third switching device 53, respectively.

In this variant embodiment, the housing 12 further includes a first shielding baffle 125 and a first shielding baffle 126 and has a containing space 127, the first shielding baffle 125 and the first shielding baffle 126 divide the containing space 127 into a first containing space 1271, a second containing space 1272 and a third containing space 1273, and the first containing space 1271, the second containing space 1272 and the third containing space 1273 are independent from each other. The first module 1111 and the first switching device 51 are disposed in the first accommodating space 1271, the second module 1112 and the second switching device 52 are disposed in the second accommodating space 1272, and the third module 1113 and the third switching device 53 are disposed in the third accommodating space 1273. The first shielding baffle 125 and the first shielding baffle 126 are adapted to isolate the first identifier 311, the second identifier 312, and the third identifier 313 from each other for preventing the first identifier 311, the second identifier 312, and the third identifier 313 from interfering with each other when the identification tag 32 is identified.

Further, the shielding films 33 are disposed on the first shielding plate 125 and the first shielding plate 126, so as to prevent the first identifier 311, the second identifier 312, and the third identifier 313 from interfering with each other when the identification tag 32 is identified.

It should also be noted that, in order to better increase the shielding effect of the shielding plates, the heights of the first shielding plates 125 and 126 are identical to the height of the peripheral wall of the housing 12, so that the first shielding plates 125 and 126 can achieve a better shielding effect.

For example, if the plug 20 is plugged into the first module 1111, the first identifier 311 identifies the identification tag 32 provided on the pin 20 and sends the identification information 34 to the control device 40, and the control device 40 receives the identification information 34 and controls the first switching device 51 to be in an open state, so that the first module 1111 is connected to an external circuit, and the plug 20 is connected to the external circuit. Because of the shielding effect of the first shielding shutter 125 and the first shielding shutter 126, the second identifier 312 and the third identifier 313 cannot identify the identification tag 32 provided to the plug 20, and therefore the second identifier 312 and the third identifier 313 do not transmit the identification information 34 to the control device 40, the control device 40 controls the second switching device 52 and the third switching device 53 to be in the off state so that the circuit connection between the second module 1112 and the third module 1113 and the external circuit is in the off state. In this way, when one module of the safety socket 10 with the identification function is plugged with the plug 20 which can be effectively identified and is electrically connected with an external circuit, the other modules still maintain the state of being electrically disconnected with the external circuit, so as to prevent electric shock accidents.

It should be further noted that, when the first module 1111, the second module 1112, and the third module 1113 are plugged into the identifiable plug 20, the control device 40 obtains the identification information 34 from the first identifier 311, the second identifier 312, and the third identifier 313, and controls the first switch device 51, the second switch device 52, and the third switch device 53 to be in an open state, so that the first module 1111, the second module 1112, and the third module 1113 are electrically connected to an external circuit, respectively, so that the plug 20 is electrically connected to the external circuit, respectively.

It should be noted that, when the first module 1111, the second module 1112, and the third module 1113 are plugged into the plug 20, the determining device 42 of the control device 40 is adapted to add the workloads of the appliances 200 connected to each plug 20 and determine whether the sum of the workloads of the appliances 200 connected to each plug 20 exceeds the maximum workload that can be borne by the safety socket 10 with identification function, and when the workloads of the appliances 200 connected to the plug 20 exceed the maximum workload that can be borne by the safety socket 10 with identification function, the control device 40 controls the reminding device 43 to send a prompt that the sum of the workloads of the appliances 200 connected to the plug 20 exceeds the maximum workload that can be borne by the safety socket 10 with identification function, so that there is a great safety risk of maintaining the working state for a long time.
