Abstract

A detachable and lockable socket includes a casing. The casing is provided with a controller, a socket unit, and a pin. The pin is connected with a silicone steel sheet. An outer periphery of the silicone steel sheet is provided with a coil. The controller is able to control the coil to be electrified or not. When the coil is electrified, the coil generates a magnetic field, enabling the pin to have a magnetic attraction force. The pin is attracted and locked to a conducting plate of a power source, avoiding looseness, disengagement and stealing.

Claims

1. A detachable and lockable socket, comprising a casing, the casing being provided with a controller, a socket unit, and a pin, the socket unit being adapted for insertion of an electric appliance plug to supply power, the pin being exposed out of the casing and plugged into a conducting plate of a power socket to connect with a power source, the pin being connected with a silicone steel sheet, an outer periphery of the silicone steel sheet being provided with a coil, the controller controlling the coil to be electrified or not, wherein when the coil is electrified, the coil generates a magnetic field, enabling the pin to have a magnetic attraction force, and the pin is attracted and locked to the conducting plate, avoiding looseness and disengagement.

2. The detachable and lockable socket as claimed in claim 1, wherein the casing is provided with a USB socket for insertion of a telecommunication plug to supply power.

3. The detachable and lockable socket as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller can receive a wireless telecommunication for remotely controlling the coil to be electrified or not.
