[0050] See Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a locking bracket structure 1, which can be used with a track socket adapter. The track socket adapter includes a rotating shell 2 and a base 3. The rotating shell 2 is rotatably fitted onto the base 3. A connector 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 3. The rotating shell 2 is also fixedly connected to an active rotating component 5. The locking bracket structure 1 includes a connecting part 11, a first extension arm 12 and a second extension arm 13. The first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 are respectively connected to the connecting part 11 and are disposed on both sides of the connecting part 11. The first extension arm 12 is provided with a first locking part 121 and the second extension arm 13 is provided with a second locking part 131. The first locking part 121 and the second locking part 131 are arranged in opposite directions. The first locking part 121 and the second locking part 131 are either recessed or protruded relative to the connector 4.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first locking part 121 and the second locking part 131 are disposed through the base 3 along a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating outer shell 2. The first locking part 121 and the second locking part 131 are located at the plug-in member 4. When the active rotating member 5 drives the locking bracket structure 1 to rotate, the first locking part 121 and the second locking part 131 are retracted or protruded relative to the plug-in member 4, so that the locking bracket structure 1 is unlocked or locked.

[0052] When the active rotating member 5 drives the locking bracket structure 1 to rotate, the locking parts (first locking part and second locking part) of the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 protrude relative to the plug member 4. The two locking parts protrude towards different sides of the plug member and the protruding openings face opposite directions, so that the locking bracket structure is locked in the conductive track.

[0053] When the active rotating member 5 drives the locking bracket structure 1 to rotate in the opposite direction, the locking parts (first locking part and second locking part) of the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 are retracted relative to the plug member 4, so that the locking bracket structure 1 is unlocked from the conductive track.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first locking part 121 includes: a first locking end 1211 and a first through body 1212. One end of the first through body 1212 is connected to the first locking part 121, and the other end of the first through body 1212 passes through the base 3.

[0055] The second locking part 131 includes a second locking end 1311 and a second through body 1312. One end of the second through body 1312 is connected to the second locking part 131, and the other end of the second through body 1312 penetrates the base 3. The other end of the first through body 1312 is also connected to the first extension arm 12, and the other end of the second through body 1312 is also connected to the second extension arm 13. However, this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0056] In this embodiment, the locking bracket structure further includes a torsion elastic element 14, which is disposed within the connecting portion 11. One end of the torsion elastic element 14 is fixedly disposed on the base 3, and the other end of the torsion elastic element 14 abuts against the first abutting portion 51 disposed on the active rotating member 5. The torsion elastic element 14 may be a torsion spring, but this invention is not limited thereto.

[0057] In this embodiment, the second extension arm 13 is also provided with a reset part 15 facing opposite to the second locking part 131, and the active rotating member 5 is also provided with a second abutting part 52 corresponding to the reset part 15.

[0058] The locking bracket structure in this embodiment also includes a return spring 6S, which is disposed on the base 3. One end of the return spring 6S is mounted on the reset part 15, and the other end is mounted on the base 3. The reset part 15 includes a connecting plate 151, and a spring seat 152 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 151 facing the return spring 6S. ​​One end of the return spring 6S is mounted on the spring seat 152. The base 3 also has a reset space S7 for accommodating the return spring 6S.

[0059] In this embodiment, the active rotating member 5 is further provided with a third abutting part 53 corresponding to the first extending arm 12 and / or the second extending arm 13; in this embodiment, the active rotating member 5 drives the locking bracket structure 1 to rotate through the first abutting part 51, the second abutting part 52 and the third abutting part 53.

[0060] Furthermore, the locking bracket structure 1 described in this embodiment has a certain slope to accommodate tracks of different thicknesses.

[0061] In this embodiment of the invention, by setting a locking bracket structure in cooperation with an active rotating component, the track socket achieves the function of locking or unlocking with the conductive track through rotation. By eliminating the traditional push-button switch unlocking structure in existing track sockets, the operating logic of the track socket of the present invention is simpler, the overall product is more robust, and it can effectively prevent external debris from entering the machine body.

[0062] In addition, by setting a torsional elastic element and a return spring in the locking bracket structure, the track socket can only be locked or unlocked when the user actively applies force to rotate the outer shell. This avoids safety hazards caused by accidental touch or child misoperation, which could lead to the track socket being pulled out or accidentally inserted into the conductive track during use, thus further improving the safety protection of the track socket. At the same time, it also makes the locking rotation smoother and more tactile.

[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
