Abstract

Safety socket whose contacts are connected to current from the electric mains by closure of an integrated electro-electronic circuit set up inside the socket and comprising an actuator connected to a logic control and driver, fed by mains current at very low voltage, said logic control and driver being in turn connected to pairs of relay switches, one for each. phase of the electric current, closure of the integrated circuit being obtained by completion of insertion into said socket of the pins of a plug or of an adapter, namely of the electro mechanical connectors to mains electric current and to any point of utilization.

Description

Ekctric safety socket
The invention concerns electric safety sockets for civil and industrial installations.
By their very nature, electric sockets are known to constitute serious risks as, even though connected to very high voltages, the protection afforded by their contact points consists in the distance of not more than a few millimetres from the ends of the holes where plugs are inserted for all electrical purposes, said contact points being therefore accessible to any thin conducting element.
Children entirely unaware of any danger can often be tempted to insert some conducting element into the holes in sockets risking even lethal accidents. To overcome this drawback, safety sockets have been produced fitted with a form of protection that prevents electric contact if a thin metal object becomes inserted into one of the holes.
This protection does not function, however, if two thin metal objects are fitted into the holes in the socket. A further drawback to the sockets at present available consists in the fact that, when inserting or pulling out a plug for any normal use, an overload can create an electric arc between the pins of the plug and the contact points in the socket.
To sum it up: the sockets now on the market do not guarantee complete safety against the possibility of receiving an electric shock, neither do they guarantee prevention against fire. Subject of the invention is a safety socket the contact points of which connect with mains electricity by closure of an integrated electro-electronic circuit set up inside the socket itself.
When the pins of a plug or of an adapter, namely the electro-mechanical means for connecting electric current through the socket to any point of utilization, have been completely inserted in the socket by operative elements of said plug or of said adapter, the integrated circuit is closed.
The integrated electric-electronic circuit comprises an actuator connected to a control logic and driver fed by the low voltage of mains electricity, in turn connected to a pair of relay switches, one for each phase of the electric current. Closure of the integrated circuit, and therefore connection between the socket contacts and main electricity supply, is obtained, after the pins of the plug or adapter have been completely inserted into the socket, by the elements of said plug or of said adapter operating on said actuator. One type of actuator closes the integrated circuit by means of a reed bulb.
The operating elements of said plug and of said adaptor consist of a pair of permanent magnets placed close to the pins of the plug or of the adapter. One type of actuator comprises a micro switch worked by the operating elements of the plug or of the adapter when their pins have been pressed right into the socket.
One type of actuator comprises an optic sensor that closes an integrated circuit, the operative element of the plug or of the adapter being an emitter of light. Emission of light in the plug is obtained by a Light Emitting Diode, or LED. Closure of the integrated electro-electronic circuit takes place later, when insertion of the pins of the plug or of the adapter has been completed and therefore connection of the contacts in the socket to mains electric current, after the pins of the plug or of the adapter have matched up with the socket contacts, so making it impossible for an electric arc to form. Feed is preferably by capacitive drop, supplying an output of 10 Volts with a current maximum of 10 mA.
The relays present coils of 110 V if connection is in series, or of 220 V if in parallel. The invention offers evident advantages.
The sockets subject of the invention offer complete safety as, even if thin conducting objects are inserted into their holes, no connection with mains current is made. In the event of plugs other than the Italian type being used, such as the "shuko" for example, small alterations are made to the plugs and adapters.
By applying simple means effects of exceptional importance can be obtained in all electric sockets, such as will eliminate the risk of electric shocks as well as that of formation of electric arcs. Characteristics and purposes of the invention will be made still clearer by the following examples of its execution illustrated by diagrammatically drawn figures.

Fig. 16 Detail of an actuator made with an optic sensor acting with a plug comprising a LED fed by a battery fitted inside.
The electric safety socket 10, subject of the invention, is shown in Figure 1 fitted into the wall mounting box 12 at the centre of the plate 14. In Figure 2 the socket 10 has been removed from the box 12 together with the plate 14.
The integrated electro-electronic circuit 29, the relay switches 54 and the clamps 25 for the electric wiring 60 to the main supply are all now visible.
Figure 3 shows a plug 20 with pins 22 comprising- inside it a pair 24 of permanent magnets, as will be seen in Figure 4 where the plug is shown open.
In Figure 5 the plug 20 is inserted in the socket 10.
Figure 6 shows a "shuko" type of adapter 18 in which is a pair 24 of permanent magnets close to the pins 22.
Figure 7 presents the socket 10 removed from the wall mounting box but still covered by the plate 14.
Figures 8-10 illustrate views of the socket 10 separated from the plate 14. As these figures show, the socket 10 comprises contacts 26 that will be connected to mains electricity when a plug 20 or a "shuko" adapter 18 is fitted into said contacts, as seen in Figures 3-6, fitted with a pair of permanent magnets 24. On inserting said plug 20, or said adapter 18, into the socket 10, the pair 24 of permanent magnets will lie close to the reed bulb 28 which, as is already known, closes the electric circuit.
In the electro-electronic integrated circuit 29, illustrated in diagrammatic form in Figure 13, the pair 54 of switches 52 are visible, these being operated by a pair of relays 50, the actuator 16, the control logic and driver 30 and the contacts in the socket 26.
Said control logic and driver 30 is connected with feed 32 supplied from the main electric supply 34 at very low voltage.
When a plug 20 or adapter 18, provided with a pair of permanent magnets like the pair 24, is inserted inside the socket, the pair of relays 50 act on the switches thus connecting the socket 10 to the electric mains 34 through its contacts 26.
The actuator 27, in Figures 8-10 and 14, presents the reed bulb 28.
When the plug 36, with its pair 24 of permanent magnets, is inserted in the socket 10, the reed bulb 28 closes the electric circuit that carries mains electricity 34 to the contacts 26 in the socket 10.
Figure 15 illustrates an alternative actuator 56 comprising a micro switch 57.
When the plug 40, suitably composed, is inserted in the socket 10, by means of the micro switch 57 the electric circuit, is closed between the contacts of the socket 10 and the main supply of electric current 34.
Figure 16 illustrates an actuator 58 with optic sensor 59 that connects .the contacts 26 of the socket 10 with main electricity 34 when the plug 42 is inserted in said socket 10, , said plug being provided with a LED 44 fed by a small battery 46.
