Description

Socket and socket assembly

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of low-voltage electric appliances, in particular to a socket and a component thereof.

Background

With the popularization of electronic devices, people have more and more diversified demands for charging. In addition to conventional ac outlets (e.g., two-hole, three-hole outlets), there is an increasing demand for dc output charging (e.g., USB-ase:Sub>A port, USB-C port) charging, and thus, various dc output charging ports are also integrated into the outlet.

The conventional socket is a linear strip type arrangement, the length of the conventional socket increases with the number of the sockets, so that the conventional socket occupies a large space, and the design and arrangement of internal components are complicated with the increase of the number of the sockets.

In recent years, a compact socket is introduced in the market, which has a dc socket and an ac socket arranged in different areas, and the ac sockets are arranged on two opposite sides of the socket, so that the socket has a smaller volume and a more compact structure. Chinese utility model patent 202121910147.6 (granted publication No. CN 215956068U) discloses a desktop charger which separately sets a dc power supply component and an ac power supply component, and is provided with ac sockets at opposite sides of a socket. However, the arrangement of ac sockets on opposite sides makes the construction and assembly of the internal ac powered components more complicated, requiring assembly into the socket via a post-installed end cap, and also makes assembly with the dc powered components complicated. The complex assembly makes the desktop charger have low assembly efficiency, low mechanical strength and poor reliability.

There is a need in the art for a compact, easily assembled, mechanically strong, and reliable jack and assembly therefor.

Specifically, an exploded view of the bracket 610 of the high power assembly 600 from the left side view of FIG. 6 is shown in FIG. 8, separated from the hot plug 630 and neutral plug 650, to show further details of the high power assembly 600.

In some embodiments, the bracket 610 may include a base 611 and a pair of spaced apart arms. For the sake of clarity, only one partition wall 612 is labeled in fig. 8. The pair of partition walls are disposed opposite to each other. Therefore, the following description of the partition wall 612 applies equally to the other partition wall.

The partition wall 612 may be connected with the base 611, and may extend in a lateral direction of the bracket 610. The partition wall 612 defines a receiving space with the base 611 at a side facing away from the other partition wall, and a partitioned space is defined between the partition wall 612 and the other partition wall. The partition wall 612 may include passages 612a, 612b that pass through to the top side of the bracket 610 and in a direction perpendicular to the partition wall 612. Channels 612a, 612b allow bracket 610 to receive live and neutral inserts 630, 650 from the top side, thereby enabling an integrated live and neutral insert 630, 650. Additionally, receiving the live and neutral inserts 630, 650 from the top side through the channels 612a, 612b facilitates, efficient, and reliable assembly of the live and neutral inserts 630, 650 to the cradle.

Similarly, neutral sleeve 650 may include pole terminals 652, 654 and a connecting arm 656 connecting pole terminals 652, 654. The pole tips 652, 654 may include receptacles for receiving mating plugs from outside sides that face away from each other.

When the live and neutral inserts 630, 650 are assembled to the cradle 610, the pole tip 632 of the live insert 630 and the pole tip 652 of the neutral insert 650 may be disposed in the receiving space on one side of the cradle 610, and the pole tip 634 of the live insert 630 and the pole tip 654 of the neutral insert 650 may be disposed in the receiving space on the other side of the cradle 610. The connecting arm 636 of the hot plug 630 and the connecting arm 656 of the neutral plug 650 may be disposed in separate spaces of the bracket 610. In some embodiments, the connecting arm 636 of the hot plug 630 and the connecting arm 656 of the neutral plug 650 can extend laterally of the bracket 610.

In some embodiments, the connecting arms 636 of the hot plug 630 and the connecting arms 656 of the neutral plug 650 are offset in the height direction of the bracket 610, thereby meeting safety regulations. In some embodiments, the support 610 may also include an isolation mechanism 616 in the partitioned space. The isolation mechanism 616 may at least partially isolate the connecting arm 636 of the hot plug 630 from the connecting arm 656 of the neutral plug 650, thereby further satisfying safety requirements.

In some embodiments, the pole ends 632, 634 of the hot plug 630 are staggered in the direction in which the connecting arm 636 extends, and the pole ends 652, 654 of the neutral plug 650 are staggered in the direction in which the connecting arm 656 extends. This laterally staggered arrangement of the extremes of the live and neutral sleeves 630, 650 makes the assembly of the live and neutral sleeves 630, 650 to the bracket 610 more secure as it increases the lateral restraint of the bracket 610 to the live and neutral sleeves 630, 650.

In some embodiments, bracket 610 may include a spacer mechanism 613 in each receptacle, which spacer mechanism 613 electrically separates pole end 632 of hot plug sleeve 630 from pole end 652 of neutral plug sleeve 650, thereby meeting safety regulations.

In some embodiments, hot plug 630 may include a terminal 638 that extends in the direction in which connecting arm 636 extends, and neutral plug 650 may include a terminal 658 that extends in the direction in which connecting arm 656 extends. In some embodiments, terminals 638 and 658 are staggered in the height direction of frame 610, thereby facilitating access to the power cord.

In some embodiments, the bracket 610 may also include a pair of outer sidewalls. For clarity, only one side of the outer sidewall 615 is shown. The following description for the outer sidewall 615 also applies to the outer sidewall on the other side. The outer sidewall 615 extends in a height direction of the bracket 610 along one end of the base 611 in a lateral direction, and is connected with a pair of partition walls (i.e., the partition wall 612 and an oppositely disposed one partition wall). In some embodiments, the outer sidewall 615 may include a channel 615a penetrating toward the top side of the bracket 610 and in the lateral direction at a portion corresponding to the partitioned space.

In some embodiments, the terminal 638 of the firing sleeve 630 may pass through the channel 615a of the sidewall 615 laterally to one side of the bracket 610; accordingly, the terminal 658 of the neutral sleeve 650 may pass through a corresponding passage of the side wall of the other side, laterally of the bracket 610, toward the opposite side. In this embodiment, the provision of the channels in the side walls further provides a mechanism for receiving and supporting terminals 638, 658, while further stabilizing the assembly of power plug sleeve 630 and neutral plug sleeve 650.

In some embodiments, the bracket 610 may include an opening 617 at the bottom 611 for insertion mating with a low current component. Opening 617 may correspond to opening 235 in fig. 3.

FIG. 9 shows further details of the bottom of a strong electric module 600 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the high voltage electrical component 600 may include a ground plug that may be disposed in a space at the bottom of the rack. The construction and arrangement of the ground plug will be further described with reference to fig. 10.

FIG. 10 is an exploded view of the bottom of a strong electric module 600 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the bracket 610 of the high electric power module 600 and the ground plug 670 exploded therefrom are shown from a bottom perspective. For ease of description, FIG. 10 also shows the ground wire insert 670 from another perspective, and for clarity, the live and neutral inserts are not shown in FIG. 10.

In some embodiments, the high current assembly 600 may include a ground plug 670. The base of the bracket 610 may include a recess 618 extending in a direction perpendicular to the pair of partition walls, the recess 618 defining a bottom receiving space 620. A ground insert 670 may be disposed within the bottom receptacle 620 and may be separated from the hot and neutral inserts by a recess 618 (see also fig. 6).

In some embodiments, the ground insert 670 may include pole tips 672, 674 disposed at both ends, a terminal 676 extending in another direction, and a coupling arm 678 coupling the two pole tips 672, 674 and the terminal 676. In particular, the link arm 678 may include a link arm 678a connecting the two pole tips 672, 674 and a link arm 678b connecting the terminal 676 with the pole tips 672, 674. When the ground insert 670 is assembled to the bracket 610, the extending direction of the two extreme ends 672, 674 thereof coincides with the extending direction of the bottom receiving space 620 (i.e., in a direction perpendicular to a pair of partition walls of the bracket 610).

In some embodiments, the bracket 610 includes a boss 619 protruding from the top side of the bottom receiving space 620 toward the base. The sides of the ground insert 670 at which the extremities 672,674 approach one another define a bayonet 679. In some embodiments, the terminal 676 of the ground insert 670 and the coupling arm 678 coupled to the terminal 676 can engage the base of the bracket 610 toward one side along the lateral direction of the bracket 610. Through the snap-fit of the two ground wire plugs 670 with the bracket 610, the ground wire plugs 670 can be conveniently and reliably assembled to the bracket 610 without additional parts and tools, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

Figure 11 illustrates a wire crimping frame 1110, 1130 and a power wire sheath 1150 of a receptacle assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention.
