Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable socket. Background Technology
[0002] In today's era of high integration of digitalization and electrification, various electronic devices have been deeply integrated into all aspects of people's lives and work, becoming an indispensable part of daily life. As a key interface for power supply, sockets bear the important mission of providing stable power to many electronic devices. However, the traditional sockets that are widely circulated in the market today have relatively conservative design concepts and relatively simple and fixed structural forms, making it difficult to flexibly adapt to diverse actual use scenarios. This inherent defect limits the versatility and efficiency of sockets.
[0003] Traditional sockets typically have a pre-set and fixed layout and orientation, generally offering only one or a few fixed insertion directions. When users attempt to power devices that require specific placement, the socket's angle cannot be adjusted, often leading to difficulty in connecting the plug to the socket. In such cases, users are forced to twist the power cord or forcibly change the device's position to achieve the connection. This is not only inconvenient but also causes excessive bending of the power cord, which over time accelerates the wear of the wire insulation, increases the risk of leakage and short circuits, threatens electrical safety, and ultimately affects the socket's performance. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an adjustable socket to solve the problem that in the prior art, the angle of the socket itself cannot be adjusted as needed, which causes users to twist the power cord or change the device's mounting bracket to achieve the connection with the socket. This is not only inconvenient for users, but also increases the risk of use problems.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an adjustable socket, including a socket body and a base, wherein a fixing cylinder is fixedly installed in the middle of the socket body, and plugs are inserted into the lower left and right sides of the fixing cylinder; a rotating groove is opened in the middle of the base, and multiple slots are opened on the inner wall of the rotating groove.
[0006] The inner wall of the fixed cylinder is fitted with a button, and push blocks are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the button. The lower part of the fixed cylinder is provided with a moving groove, and elastic elements are fixedly installed between the left and right side plugs. A rubber pad is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed cylinder.
[0007] The elastic element is installed on the inner wall of the moving groove, the insert block is slidably connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the moving groove, the push block is slidably connected to the upper part of the inner wall of the moving groove and is attached to the upper part of the side of the insert block away from the elastic element, and the top of the button is attached to the rubber pad.
[0008] The rotating groove has a rotating ring rotatably connected to the upper inner wall. The rotating ring has multiple positioning grooves on its outer side. The positioning grooves have matching grooves on their inner walls. The fixed ring is fixedly installed on the lower outer side of the fixed cylinder. The fixed ring has multiple positioning posts fixedly installed at its bottom. The positioning posts have rubber protrusions fixedly installed on their outer sides.
[0009] The positioning pin is inserted into the inner wall of the positioning groove, and the fixing ring is inserted into the upper side of the inner wall of the rotating groove and sleeved on the lower outer side of the fixing cylinder.
[0010] The rubber protrusion is inserted into the inner wall of the fitting groove and is subjected to compression deformation by the positioning pin.
[0011] The fixed cylinder is penetrated on the opposite side of the left and right plugs and is inserted into the inner wall of one of the slots respectively. The socket body is mounted on the top of the base, and the lower part of the fixed cylinder is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] In the above solution, by disengaging the plugs on both sides from the slots, the socket can be rotated to adjust to the required angle to suit various usage scenarios. After the angle adjustment is completed, the plugs are reinserted into the inner wall of the corresponding slots to achieve a stable lock on the adjusted position. This also facilitates the easy separation of the socket from the base for maintenance, thereby improving the overall performance and ease of maintenance of the socket and reducing potential safety hazards.

[0022] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable socket, including a socket body 1 and a base 2. A fixing cylinder 3 is fixedly installed in the middle of the socket body 1. Insert blocks 8 are inserted into the lower left and right sides of the fixing cylinder 3. A rotating groove 16 is opened in the middle of the base 2. Multiple slots 17 are opened in the inner wall of the rotating groove 16. The opposite sides of the left and right insert blocks 8 pass through the fixing cylinder 3 and are respectively inserted into the inner wall of one of the slots 17, thereby fixing the position of the socket body 1 after adjustment to meet different usage needs. The socket body 1 is placed on the top of the base 2, and the lower part of the fixing cylinder 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove 16, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the angle of the socket body 1.
[0024] First, drive the two side plugs 8 to slide towards each other along the inner wall of the moving groove 9, and let one side of them disengage from the slot 17. Then, rotate the socket body 1, causing the fixing cylinder 3 to rotate along the inner wall of the rotating groove 16. At the same time, the fixing ring 6 is inserted between the positioning post 12 and the rotating ring 13, thereby synchronously driving the rotating ring 13 to rotate to adjust the angle of the socket body 1. After completion, push the two side plugs 8 to insert into the inner wall of the corresponding slot 17, and fix the adjusted position of the socket body 1, thereby improving the adaptability of the socket body 1 and reducing safety hazards during use.
[0025] Example 2: Based on Example 1, in order to realize the movement of the drive plug 8, a button 5 is inserted into the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 3. Push blocks 11 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the bottom end of the button 5. A moving groove 9 is opened in the lower part of the fixed cylinder 3. An elastic element 10 is fixedly installed between the plugs 8 on the left and right sides. A rubber pad 4 is fixedly installed at the top of the fixed cylinder 3 to facilitate the user to press the button 5 and increase the comfort of use. The elastic element 10 is installed on the inner wall of the moving groove 9. The plug 8 is slidably connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the moving groove 9, so that the elastic force of the elastic element 10 pushes one side of the plug 8 to maintain the plug-in state with the slot 17. The push block 11 is slidably connected to the upper part of the inner wall of the moving groove 9 and is attached to the upper part of the side of the plug 8 away from the elastic element 10. The top of the button 5 is attached to the rubber pad 4, so that by pressing the rubber pad 4 downward, the button 5 is moved downward. Then, the push block 11 is used to squeeze the plugs 8 on both sides to slide, so as to release the restriction on the socket body 1.
[0026] Pressing the rubber pad 4 downwards causes the button 5 to move down along the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 3. This, in turn, pushes the two side plugs 8 to slide towards each other along the inner wall of the moving groove 9 by the downward movement of the push block 11. While compressing the elastic element 10, one side of the plug 8 is disengaged from the slot 17. Then, the socket body 1 can be rotated, causing the fixed cylinder 3 to rotate along the inner wall of the rotating groove 16. At the same time, the fixed ring 6 is inserted between the positioning post 12 and the rotating ring 13, thereby synchronously driving the rotating ring 13 to rotate to adjust the angle of the socket body 1. After this is completed, the button 5 is released, and the elastic force of the elastic element 10 pushes the two side plugs 8 to insert into the inner wall of the corresponding slot 17, fixing the adjusted position of the socket body 1. This improves the adaptability of the socket body 1 and reduces safety hazards during use.
[0027] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to increase the stability of the fitting between the socket body 1 and the base 2 and facilitate subsequent disassembly and maintenance, a rotating ring 13 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the rotating groove 16. Multiple positioning grooves 15 are formed on the outer side of the rotating ring 13, and a fitting groove 14 is formed on the inner wall of the positioning groove 15. A fixing ring 6 is fixedly installed on the lower outer side of the fixing cylinder 3, and multiple positioning posts 12 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing ring 6. Rubber protrusions 7 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the positioning posts 12. The positioning posts 12 are inserted into the inner wall of the positioning groove 15, and the fixing ring 6 is inserted into the upper side of the inner wall of the rotating groove 16 and fitted onto the lower outer side of the fixing cylinder 3, maintaining the rotational state between the fixing cylinder 3 and the base 2. The rubber protrusions 7 are inserted into the inner wall of the fitting groove 14 and are compressed and deformed by the positioning posts 12, thereby increasing the insertion stability between the fixing ring 6 and the rotating ring 13, and thus improving the stability between the socket body 1 and the base 2.
[0028] During disassembly and maintenance, press button 5 to release the restriction between the socket body 1 and the base 2 by moving the two side plugs 8. Then pull up the socket body 1 to move the fixing cylinder 3 away from the rotating groove 16. During this process, the positioning post 12 will be disengaged from the positioning groove 15, and the rubber protrusion 7 will be disengaged from the mating groove 14. Then the socket body 1 can be maintained. After that, place the socket body 1 on top of the base 2 and move the fixing cylinder 3 through the inner wall of the rotating ring 13 and into the rotating groove 16. At this time, the positioning post 12 is inserted into the inner wall of the positioning groove 15, and the rubber protrusion 7 is pushed to gradually connect with the mating groove 14 and be in a state of compression deformation, thereby increasing the stability of the assembly between the socket body 1 and the base 2. After that, release button 5 and use the cooperation between the plug 8 and the slot 17 to lock the socket body 1 and the base 2, which facilitates subsequent maintenance and use.
[0029] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0030] When in use, press the rubber pad 4 downwards to move the button 5 down along the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 3. Then, by moving the push block 11 downwards, push the two side plugs 8 to slide towards each other along the inner wall of the moving groove 9. While squeezing the elastic element 10 and compressing it, one side of the plug 8 is disengaged from the slot 17. Then, the socket body 1 can be rotated, which will drive the fixed cylinder 3 to rotate along the inner wall of the rotating groove 16. At the same time, the fixed ring 6 is inserted between the positioning post 12 and the rotating ring 13, thereby driving the rotating ring 13 to rotate synchronously to adjust the angle of the socket body 1. After that, release the button 5. The elastic force of the elastic element 10 will push the two side plugs 8 to be inserted into the inner wall of the corresponding slot 17, and fix the adjusted position of the socket body 1, thereby improving the adaptability of the socket body 1 and reducing the safety hazards during use.
[0031] During disassembly and maintenance, press button 5 to release the restriction between the socket body 1 and the base 2 by moving the two side plugs 8. Then pull up the socket body 1 to move the fixing cylinder 3 away from the rotating groove 16. During this process, the positioning post 12 will be disengaged from the positioning groove 15, and the rubber protrusion 7 will be disengaged from the mating groove 14. Then the socket body 1 can be maintained. After that, place the socket body 1 on top of the base 2 and move the fixing cylinder 3 through the inner wall of the rotating ring 13 and into the rotating groove 16. At this time, the positioning post 12 is inserted into the inner wall of the positioning groove 15, and the rubber protrusion 7 is pushed to gradually connect with the mating groove 14 and be in a state of compression deformation, thereby increasing the stability of the assembly between the socket body 1 and the base 2. After that, release button 5 and use the cooperation between the plug 8 and the slot 17 to lock the socket body 1 and the base 2, which facilitates subsequent maintenance and use.
