Definitions
- the invention relates to a socket according to the preamble of claim 1.
- socket adapters are known, which are primarily used to bridge the differences between different connector systems.
- protective flaps or slides are arranged on the sockets of the socket adapter into which different plugs can be inserted. These dampers prevent mating connectors or pointed objects from being inserted into the jacks, which may result in accidental electric shock to a person.
- the protective covers or pushers can only be opened by a plug provided for this purpose, whereas they can not be opened with plugs of the wrong type or other objects.
- the protective flaps or sliders are also referred to as child safety devices, as misuse of the socket adapters is predominantly carried out by children.
- a disadvantage of such protective flaps or slides is that they often jam and only together can be locked and unlocked. This means that it is possible that further protective flaps or slides can be opened as soon as a protective flap or a safety slide is opened by a corresponding plug.
- the other sockets are usually covered by the plugged plug. Nevertheless, the protective function is not sufficient, especially when narrow plugs are plugged into the socket adapter, which do not manage to cover the other sockets.
- Such a socket adapter with a first and second safety slide is disclosed in US 5,919,060.
- the safety gates are biased in a known manner by springs and can be linearly displaced by inserting electrical plugs at right angles to the plug against the spring pressure. The direction of the displacement is determined by ramp-shaped end faces of the protective slides.
- the object initiating the present invention results in the further development of a generic socket adapter, which more reliably prevents incorrect operation and increases user safety.
- the object is achieved in a device according to the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that the first or the second protective element is mechanically locked in each case in its closed position with an additional locking element when the other protective element is in its open position.
- This mechanical lock ensures that only one socket is usable by a suitable plug, while the other socket is reliably locked. Moving or moving the protective element of the free socket is therefore not possible even if it would be attempted to plug in a suitable plug.
- the first or second protective element in its closed position is mechanically locked by the other in the open position and acting as the additional locking element protective element.
- This feature allows the protective element, which in any case is moved to its open position, to simultaneously lock the other protective element by virtue of this existing movement. The locking of the closed switch therefore takes place automatically, without any further operating steps being required.
- the invention is preferably characterized in that the first protective element has a closure element, with which a mechanical contact to the second closure element is realized when the first or the second protection element is in the open position.
- a first and second projection are formed successively on the closure element in the direction of movement of the first protection element, on which projections the second protection element can be hooked. This results in two Einhakposition, which serve to lock the first or the second protective element in its closed position. It would also be conceivable further projections in a plane parallel to the first and second projection in order to lock more protective elements can.
- the distance of the first projection to the second protective element is less than the distance of the second projection to the second protective element.
- the second protective element in the opened position of the second protective element, is hooked to the first projection. Because the second protective element is always opened by a suitable plug, it is fixed in the open position by the plug. As a result, the first protective element, which is positively connected to the second protective element, inevitably fixed and is prevented from moving in the opening direction. In a further preferred embodiment, in the opened position of the first protection element, the second protection element is hooked to the second projection. By providing two protrusions, either the first or the second protection element can be locked in its closed position.
- the closure element from a first position, in which it has a smaller distance to the inside of the housing, in a second position can be transferred, in which it has a greater distance from the inside of the housing.
- first projection or the second projection may interact with the second protective element in an elegant manner.
- the projections preferably interact with the spring holder of the second protective element.
- On the pen holder a shoulder is formed anyway, which receives an additional function. It is also conceivable to use other projections or shoulders of the second protective element for hooking with one of the projections of the closure element.
- a ramp is formed on the inside of the housing, along which the closure element can slide from the first to the second position and vice versa.
- the ramp has exactly the height that is necessary to move the closure element to a position in which the first or the second projection can interact with the second protection element.
- the invention is preferably also characterized in that the closure element has a slotted guide, whereby the closure element is forcibly guided along the ramp.
- the closure element is therefore always guided in both displacement directions of the first protective element on the ramp. This reliably prevents jamming with the second protective element or other components within the housing.
- the link guide is realized by a slot provided on the closure element and a pin guided through the slot and connected to the housing.
- the slot has the same orientation as the ramp. Characterized in that the pin is firmly connected to the housing, the closure element must be held in each shift position of the first protective element on the ramp. Also, a load of the closure element by the second protective element does not lead to an evasive movement of the closure element.
- the slide guide is realized by a guide rail, which is oriented in the direction of the ramp and is connected to the housing.
- the closure element is then forcibly guided on the housing in a free space between the ramp and the guide rail. Because the closure element in this embodiment of the slotted guide has no slot, it is less weakened. However, the ramp and guide rail must be precisely aligned so that the closure element can slide between them and not jammed. Due to the advantage that the second protective element can be pushed past the closure element from the closed position into the open position, the displaceability of the second protective element is unhindered. The closure element is only then guided by the ramp into the displacement track of the second closure element, if the second protection element is to be locked in any case.
- a third protective element for closing a third socket, which third protective element interacts mechanically with the first or second protective element. It is also conceivable that more than two sockets are provided at the socket and all unused protective elements are to be locked.
- Figure 1 a sectional view of the inventive electrical socket with the first and second protective element in the closed position
- Figure 2 is a sectional view in which the first protection element is in the closed position and the second protection element is in the open position;
- Figure 3 is a sectional view in which the second protection element is in the closed position and the first protection element is in the open position and
- Figure 4 is a sectional view in which the second protection element is in the closed position and the first protection element is in the open position with an alternative slotted guide.
- the socket 11 will preferably be a socket adapter to use the plug of a particular standard in countries with other connector standards. Such socket adapters are also referred to as travel plug or travel adapter.
- the socket adapter 1 1 comprises a housing 13 in which the other elements of the socket adapter 11 are received or arranged.
- the housing 13 comprises on its upper side a not shown bushing portion having a first and second sleeve 15,17.
- the first and second sockets 15, 17 have insertion openings (not shown in FIGS. 1 to 3).
- the first and second sockets 15, 17 serve to receive plugs of a first and second standard.
- the first socket 15 may be suitable for receiving a US plug and the second socket 17 may be suitable for plugging in a UK plug.
- a first and second protective element in the form of a first and second slide 19, 21 are arranged.
- the sliders 19,21 can be linearly displaced in a plane which is normal to the insertion direction of the plug of a first and second standard. By inserting a plug, the sliders 19,21 can be moved from a closed position to an open position. In FIG. 1, both slides 19, 21 are shown in their closed position.
- the slides 19,21 are biased in their closed position by first and second springs 23,25. If a plug is pulled out of the first or second bushing 15, 17, the sliders 19, 21 are automatically closed by being pressed back into the closed position by the springs 23, 25. As the figures show, the slides 19,21 are biased in opposite directions.
- the springs 23,25 push the slide 19,21 so together.
- the sliders 19,21 can only be moved by matching plugs. This is preferably implemented by ramps provided on the slides, which transform the insertion direction in a displacement direction perpendicular to the insertion direction. Insertion of non-matching plugs or sharp objects misappropriated by the slide 19,21 prevented.
- the slider of the other socket is mechanically locked in its closed position. If one of the two jacks is 15,17 occupied, the slider of the other socket is mechanically locked in its closed position. If the first slide 19 is open, then the second slide 21 is locked in its closed position. When the second slider 21 is opened, the first slider 19 is locked in its locked position. This leads to an increased operating safety.
- the first and second slides 19, 21 can lock each other by providing a mechanical connection between the two slides 19, 21. This connection is realized by a closure element 27, which is present in pairs in the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3.
- the closure element 27 is fastened in the region of a spring holder 29 of the first slider 19.
- the closure element 27 is forcibly guided along a ramp 31, which is formed on the inside of the housing.
- the closure element 27 slides on the ramp 31 as on a rail and can not deviate from the orientation of the ramp 31 due to the positive guidance.
- the closure member 27 is pressed into the housing interior when the first slider 19 is moved from the closed position to the closed position.
- the forced operation is realized by a link guide.
- the slotted guide comprises a slot 33 which is provided on the closure element and a pin 35 connected to the housing 13.
- the slot 33 has the same orientation as the ramp and is therefore aligned parallel to the ramp.
- the pin 35 is fixedly attached to the inside of the housing.
- first and second projection are formed, to which the spring holder 41 of the second slider 2 or another paragraph of the second slider 21 can be hooked.
- the first and second projections are arranged one above the other.
- the first and second projections 37, 39 are arranged one behind the other in the direction of movement of the slides 19, 21.
- the closure element 27 is guided along the ramp 31 and pushed by the ramp 31 by the height of the ramp 31 into the housing interior.
- the spring holder 41 hooks on the second projection 39.
- the second slider 21 is therefore locked in its closed position by the shutter member 27 when the first slider 19 is in the open position.
- the guide rail 43 may be fixed at any position of the housing 13 as long as it is oriented exactly in the direction of the ramp 31.
- the guide rail 43 is formed on the housing spring holder 47 of the first spring 23.
- the inventive socket 11 allows the space-saving, simple and reliable blocking of the free socket when the other socket is occupied by a plug.
