Every family will have a socket, and there is more than one. Although the socket looks ugly, the role of the socket in our life is really very important, and with the development of science and technology, intelligent socket has gradually become a development direction. More and more household products are developing towards the concept of environmental protection and conservation, such as energy-saving light bulbs, and some environmental protection wall coating, among which the smart socket is also energy-saving goods. Smart socket is a new concept of safety and environmental protection socket, in addition to energy saving, it can also protect related electrical appliances in a large range.

What is a smart socket? What is the principle? What kind are there? What are the functions and features of smart socket? And how to use it?

The concept of smart socket

① Intelligent safety socket is a new concept of safety socket. This series of products is a new type of intelligent safety socket, which integrates a programmable logic controller (PLC) automatic control safety energy-saving converter and electrical intelligent standby power saving socket. The main functions of this type of smart socket are power saving and safety. It is mainly used for household and office electrical appliances. The intelligent IC chip is embedded in the socket to automatically detect the current change, so as to realize the automatic power off of electrical appliances in standby, and solve the problem of "standby energy consumption".

② This type of intelligent socket uses infrared induction to turn on the power supply, which does not change people's original habits of using electrical appliances. It is more convenient to use, and it can really save power, and has the functions of lightning protection, high voltage protection, short circuit prevention and overload prevention, so as to achieve real safety. The smart socket series socket can automatically detect the current change of electrical appliances, thus power off, completely eliminate the standby energy consumption problem, energy saving and emission reduction, green environmental protection.

Its working principle is: use infrared induction to turn on the power supply, electrical appliances start to use normally. The intelligent IC chip is embedded into the socket to automatically detect the current change, so as to realize the standby and automatic power-off after a period of time (30s, 5min, 30min, etc.), and completely eliminate the problem of standby energy consumption.

In addition, the smart socket can automatically absorb the lightning induced high voltage. If the lightning induced high voltage exceeds the absorption range of the socket itself, the socket will automatically cut off, which is safer than pulling out the plug in thunderstorm weather; the rated voltage of the smart socket is set at 220 V, and the maximum withstand voltage is between 250 V and 265V. If the voltage range exceeds this range, it will automatically cut off; the intelligent socket uses electronic coil In case of overload and leakage, the socket will automatically cut off power.

Types of smart sockets

The main function of smart socket is energy saving and environmental protection. According to the different emphasis and design, it can be roughly divided into the following three types:

1. Metering socket

It can directly reflect the power, current, voltage and other information of electrical appliances on the socket. However, only to let users know the power consumption of electrical appliances, users with certain professional knowledge can analyze and find out whether the power consumption of electrical appliances is normal according to the measurement results;

2. Timing socket

It can control the electrical appliances to work in a specific period of time, to a certain extent, reduce the energy waste in idle time, but the actual power consumption period is not fixed, once the situation changes, it needs to be reset, which is not convenient to use;

3. Remote control socket

It needs to be equipped with a special remote control, which is expensive and difficult for many users to accept or operate remotely by mobile phone.

Characteristics of smart socket

1. Can reduce the trouble of rewiring, fast, simple and safe.

2. Enjoy a variety of different operation modes, remote control can use a variety of different operations, such as energy-saving; enhanced operation.

① Energy saving: wireless WiFi / ZigBee / Lora smart socket is in dormant state, which can save electricity and energy for users;

② Enhanced operation: usually user-defined mode, such as going home to turn on the lighting at home, and turn on the power supply of the refrigerator, etc.

3. Scene mode, control the lighting atmosphere at will. Smart phone control is in place in one step, and the scene changes instantly.

4. One button full on, full off, you can freely combine lighting or smart home appliances. To achieve a variety of different controls.

5. Power failure self-locking, automatic alarm. Traditional socket in the power failure, you must pull out the socket to leave, otherwise call again will cause waste. Smart socket, power failure automatic alarm, send information to the user's smart phone, and automatically switch to the off state, when more, automatically send SMS to the user's smartphone. Users don't have to worry about the switch status of home appliances.

6. Dimming and color matching control. The user of smart socket can adjust the light and shade infinitely, and automatically memorize the storage state.

7. Time delay closing function. For example, when you go out, you can set the door light to turn off after 30 seconds with one key to avoid the embarrassment of locking the door in the dark.

8. It can prolong the life of the socket. When WiFi / ZigBee / Lora smart socket is turned off, the light is gradually turned off, which helps to prolong the life of household appliances.

9. Automatic detection of home appliances fault, convenient for users to repair and deal with timely, let us live more at ease.

Advantages of smart socket

1. High Humanization: due to the intelligent technology and the application of non electric form, the safety has been fundamentally guaranteed, and the humanization of products based on people has been truly realized, making our life and work more comfortable and convenient, and improving the quality of life better.

2. Energy saving and environmental protection: due to the intelligent socket, it can eliminate the standby energy consumption of electrical appliances, save a lot of electric energy for the country, reduce the expenditure for families and enterprises, greatly reduce carbon emissions, reduce air pollution, and truly realize green environmental protection.

3. Brand new concept: change the power supply form of "constant power supply" to "power supply form without electricity".

4. High safety: because the socket is in the state of constant no electricity, there is no arc during the plug insertion and extraction process, which greatly reduces the potential fire hazard. Even if people accidentally touch the electrode of the socket, there will be no electric shock hazard, so as to ensure personal safety.

5. High intelligence: it can automatically identify whether the socket has load access and whether the load is working. That is, the plug is inserted into the power socket to supply power automatically, and when the plug is pulled out, the power is automatically cut off when the load is working continuously. It completely solves the security problem and completely eliminates the standby energy consumption problem, and truly realizes the effect of safety and energy saving.

Usage of smart socket

1. Intelligent timing socket. In cold winter, if we want to get up in the morning and have warm water to wash, we can use the timing smart socket for hot water appliances. You can set the relevant socket power supply time according to your wake-up time. This not only solves the problem of warm water, but also saves the energy consumption of heating the whole night.

2. Sometimes we go out and the mobile phone is recharged at home, and it is dangerous to charge the mobile phone for a long time. So we can use the remote control socket to remotely control through the app of the mobile phone, so as to turn off the charging power of the mobile phone.

3. The remote socket is controlled by the app of the mobile phone, and the related electrical appliances in the home can also be closed remotely. For example, the bear children at home watch TV and indulge in computer games for a long time.

4. The smart socket can also be used as an investigator. Through the intelligent electrical connection, we can know the specific power consumption of the related electrical appliances. In this way, we can know whether the power consumption of some appliances in the home is in normal use. If the power consumption is too large, we can quickly know and ask relevant professionals to come and repair.
