A waterproof socket is a plug with waterproof properties and can provide safe and reliable connections for electricity, signals, etc. For example: LED street lights, LED driving power supplies, LED displays, lighthouses, cruise ships, industrial equipment, communication equipment, detection equipment, commercial plazas, highways, villa exterior walls, gardens, parks, etc., all require waterproof sockets. The editor below will introduce to you an introduction to waterproof sockets and the principles of waterproof sockets.
1. Introduction to waterproof sockets:
1. There are many brands and types of waterproof sockets on the market, including traditional waterproof sockets for home use, such as triangle plugs, etc. It is a socket, but it is generally not waterproof. So how is a waterproof socket determined? It is IP. The current highest level of waterproofing is IP68. There are many domestic manufacturers of waterproof plugs, but there are relatively few that actually make both industrial and household sockets. It is inconvenient that ordinary household appliance plugs cannot be used.
2. The main evaluation standard for the waterproof performance of waterproof connectors is based on the IP waterproof grade standard. To see how waterproof the waterproof connector is, it mainly depends on the two digits XX at the end of IPXX. The first digit The highest waterproof rating of the connector is IP68. Sealing principle: Relying on up to 5 sealing rings and sealing rings to pre-tighten the seal with pressure. This kind of seal will not lose its pre-tightening force when the connector expands due to thermal expansion or contraction, ensuring the waterproof effect for a long time. It is impossible for water molecules to penetrate under ordinary pressure. (It can work for a long time at a water depth of less than 2M)
3. Household outdoor waterproof socket, 220V10A three-pin and two-pin plugs can be used in non-protective state and are suitable for home use. (The protection level IP66 can meet the needs of families. IP66 means that water will not enter when sprayed violently from all directions, and it will not enter when soaked in 1 meter of water for 1 hour.) It should be noted that outdoor sockets are generally made of PC material, and anti-aging should be considered.
4. Many people don’t know that there are already household 10A “fingerprint” outdoor waterproof and rainstorm-proof sockets. Indoor splash-proof boxes are used instead of waterproof sockets. The splash-proof boxes can only protect against splashing water and cannot be directly sprayed with water. It is not safe to be exposed to rain, let alone prevent aging, and the service life will not exceed one year because of ultraviolet rays.
2. Introduction to the principle of waterproof socket:
1. The waterproof socket is a waterproof box with a cover added to the general wall-mounted socket. There is rubber where the box contacts the wall. Mat, so it can be waterproof; some waterproof sockets are plastic rain-proof sheaths, with the inner skewer hole facing downwards and equipped with a special skewer. There are three-phase four-wire and three-phase five-wire matching skewer seats and skewers respectively.
2. Function in daily life The function of waterproof socket is to waterproof. In daily life, it is mainly used in toilets, kitchens and other places prone to moisture.
3. Installation of waterproof socket---First remove the socket, then put the waterproof cover behind the socket, then pass the power cord through, and fix the power cord to the socket interface according to the polarity. (The live wire is connected to the L interface, the neutral wire is connected to the N interface, and the ground wire is connected to the E interface). Be sure to tighten the fastening screws. It is best to install the fixing screws of the socket on the wall.
4. Currently, there are many brands and types of waterproof sockets on the market, including traditional waterproof sockets for home use, such as triangle plugs, which can be called sockets, but they are generally not waterproof. So how is a waterproof socket determined? The measurement of waterproofing is IP. The current highest level of waterproofing is IP68. There are currently many domestic manufacturers of waterproof plugs.
5. The main evaluation standard for the waterproof performance of waterproof connectors is based on the IP waterproof grade standard. To see how waterproof the waterproof connector is, it mainly depends on the two digits XX at the end of IPXX. The first digit The highest waterproof rating of the connector is IP68.
6. Sealing principle: Relying on up to 5 sealing rings and sealing rings to pre-tighten the seal with pressure.
This kind of seal will not lose the pre-tightening force when the connector expands due to thermal expansion or contraction, ensuring the waterproof effect for a long time. It is impossible for water molecules to penetrate under normal pressure (it can work for a long time in water depths less than 2M).
