Description

The invention relates to the field of expanding the functionality of electrical equipment, namely to smart electrical outlets that provide controlled load connection while observing electrical safety requirements.

Known electrical adapter (patent for utility model No. 44883), containing a cylindrical body with recesses for the fingers, a socket with holes for contacts and a plug with installed contacts on it.

From the patents GB 2068651, ES 1046309 and GB 2260863 there is known an electrical outlet containing a cover provided with a front wall, in which two holes are provided for inserting contact pins of the plug into them, a housing located behind the cover and containing an insulating casing in which electrical contact elements of the female type are arranged, located opposite two openings, made in said frontal wall of the lid, and a shutter mounted on top of said contact electrics elements and made with the possibility of movement between different positions, moreover, on one side of the shutter there are made inclined surfaces that can be positioned opposite the said surfaces in the second position of the shutter, as well as means of interaction made with the possibility of interaction with the actuating pin inserted into said insulating casing for moving said damper from its first position to its second position.

In accordance with GB 2260863, said damper is rotatable from the first to the second position under the action of the grounding pin inserted into the insulating casing in which the damper is located through an additional hole provided in the front wall of the lid.

Closest to the claimed device and selected as a prototype is a plug electrical outlet containing a cover with a front wall having two holes designed to insert two contact pins of the plug into them, a housing located behind the cover and containing an insulating casing inside which are electrical contact elements of the female type, located opposite two openings made in the front wall of the lid, and a shutter mounted on top of said con stroke elements, made with the possibility of movement between different positions and containing on one side inclined surfaces that can be positioned opposite the holes in the second position of the shutter, as well as means of interaction made with the possibility of interaction with a pin actuating the shutter inserted into said insulating a casing for transferring the damper from its first position to its second position, said actuating damper actuating pin forms a plug with the lid The first outlet is a monoblock element and protrudes on the rear side of the front wall of the cover, while the said damper is made in the form of a monoblock element with the possibility of translational movement, and an elastic means is provided for returning the damper to its first or second position.

The disadvantage of the described devices is the inability to use them as smart electrical outlets, because they:

1) they do not allow placing a load control module in their case, for example, using WiFi networks;

2) do not have design features that provide the ability to connect the load, an indication of the level of power consumed by it and the operational restart of the load control module;

3) do not fulfill the requirements of electrical safety [Chapter 1.7 Earthing and protective measures of electrical safety. Application area. Terms and Definitions. Rules for the installation of electrical installations (PUE). Seventh Edition. Approved by Order of the Ministry of Energy of Russia dated 08.07.2002 No. 204], since they do not contain a grounding conductor.

The technical problem, the solution of which is provided by the implementation of the utility model, is to create a technical tool for a specific purpose, namely, a smart electrical outlet that provides controlled load connection while observing electrical safety requirements.

The technical problem is solved in that in the case for a smart WiFi outlet, containing a cover with a front wall having two holes designed to insert two contact pins of the plug into them, an insulating casing, inside which are located electrical contact elements of the enclosing type, located opposite two holes made in the front wall of the cover, a shutter mounted on top of said contact elements, made with the possibility of movement between different positions and containing on one side, inclined surfaces that can be positioned opposite the holes in the second position of the shutter, wherein said shutter is made in the form of a monoblock element with the possibility of translational movement, and also provides elastic means designed to return the shutter to its first or second position, additionally contains a light guide and a light diffuser put on the cover, and the base of the socket with a button hole located behind the cover and containing the said insulating a casing, said flap, as well as a button located in the button hole, a plug casing connected to the base of the socket and comprising two contact pins of the plug and a grounding contact of the plug casing, in addition, a cover with a front wall includes grounding pins connected to grounding contact of a casing of a plug.

The claimed utility model is illustrated by figures in which:

FIG. 1 - housing design for a smart WiFi outlet;

FIG. 2 - a cover with a front wall;

FIG. 3 - optical fiber;

FIG. 4 - light diffuser;

FIG. 5 - the base of the outlet with a hole for the button;

FIG. 6 - button;

FIG. 7 - a casing of a plug;

FIG. 8 - grounding contact of the plug;

FIG. 9 - pin grounding pins.

The drawing (Fig. 1) shows the design of the housing for a smart WiFi socket, comprising a cover 101 with a front wall 102 having two holes (103 and 104) and grounding pins 105, an insulating casing 106, inside of which are located the electrical contact elements of the female type (107 and 108), the shutter 109, made in the form of a monoblock element with the possibility of translational movement, the light guide 110 and the light diffuser 111, the base of the socket 112 with a hole for the button, button 113, the casing of the plug 114, containing two ntaktnyh pin (115 and 116) of the casing of the plug and grounding contact 117 of the plug housing 114.

The implementation of the housing for a smart WiFi-socket involves the following steps. First, a light guide 110 (FIG. 3) and a light diffuser 111 (FIG. 4) are put on the cover 101 (FIG. 2). Then, a shutter 109 and ground contact pins 105 are attached to the bottom cover 101 from the bottom (FIG. 9). In this form, the cover is inserted into the base of the socket 112 with a hole for the button (Fig. 5). An insulating casing 106 and a button 113 are also placed in it (Fig. 6). The casing of the plug 114 (Fig. 7) is connected to the base of the socket 112, into which two contact pins (115 and 116) and the grounding contact 117 (Fig. 8) are pre-inserted.

A new set of essential features allows to achieve a technical result, which consists in manufacturing a case for a smart WiFi-socket, due to the opportunity:

1) placement in the base of the socket 112 of the load control module;

2) ensuring electrical safety requirements by applying the following methods and means of protection against the harmful and dangerous effects of electric current:

a) the casing of the plug 114 and the cover 101 with the front wall 102, which is a protective sheath;

b) the optical fiber 110 and the light diffuser 111, providing an indication of the level of power consumed by the load, and which are a means of warning (light) signaling;

c) the safe location of live parts, in particular by connecting the load to the electrical contact elements of the female type (107 and 108), and the power supply to the contact pins (115 and 116) of the plug;

3) a button 113 located in the hole for the button on the base of the socket 112, designed to block the operation and prompt reboot of the load control module.

The analysis of the prior art made it possible to establish that there are no analogues that are characterized by a combination of features that are identical to all the features of the claimed case for a smart WiFi outlet. Therefore, the claimed utility model meets the condition of patentability “novelty”.
