Abstract

This invention relates to a socket assembly with a detachable clamp and a fixing groove structure for the socket. The socket has a fixed surface with at least one fixing groove. The fixing groove has an insertion inlet and a sliding section connected to the insertion inlet. The width of the insertion inlet is greater than the width of the sliding section. A head-limiting groove is recessed into the sliding section and faces the fixed surface. The head-limiting groove forms a first retaining wall adjacent to the insertion inlet. A detachable clamp can be installed on the fixed surface of the socket by a tenon with a head engaging with the fixing groove. The tenon with a head has a head and a neck. The maximum width of the head is smaller than the insertion inlet but larger than the sliding section. The head passes through the insertion inlet into the fixing groove, and the neck slides in the sliding section. After entering the sliding section, the head is engaged in the head-limiting groove and blocked by the first retaining wall, preventing the tenon with the head from sliding back to the insertion inlet from the sliding section.

Claims

1. A socket fixing groove structure, comprising: A socket includes at least one AC power socket and / or one DC power socket. The socket has a fixed surface with at least one fixed groove. The fixed groove has an inlet and a sliding section connected to the inlet. The width of the inlet is greater than the width of the sliding section. A head limiting groove is recessed in the sliding section and faces the fixed surface. The periphery of the head limiting groove forms two first retaining walls that gradually narrow towards the inlet. A detachable clamp can be installed on the fixed surface of the socket by means of a headed tenon connected to the fixed groove. The headed tenon has a head and a neck. The maximum width of the head is smaller than the inlet but larger than the sliding section. The head passes through the inlet into the fixed groove and slides in the sliding section with the neck. After entering the sliding section, the head is locked in the head limiting groove and blocked by the first retaining walls, so that the headed tenon cannot slide back from the sliding section to the inlet.

2. The socket mounting groove construction as described in claim 1, wherein, A second retaining wall is set at an appropriate position in the sliding section. When the tenon with the head is engaged with the fixing groove, the head is stuck in the head limiting groove and blocked by the first retaining wall, and the neck is blocked by the second retaining wall in the sliding section, so that the tenon with the head cannot slide back from the sliding section to the placement entrance.

3. The socket mounting groove construction as described in claim 2, wherein, Two second retaining walls are installed at appropriate locations in the sliding section. The two second retaining walls are arranged in a gradually decreasing configuration from the adjacent inlet towards the sliding section, guiding the neck into the sliding section.

4. The retaining groove structure of the socket as described in claim 1, wherein, The socket is an extension cord socket that extends longitudinally, and a plurality of the aforementioned AC power sockets and / or DC power sockets are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction, as are a plurality of the aforementioned fixing slots arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction.

5. A socket assembly with a detachable clamp, comprising: A socket, comprising at least one AC power socket and / or DC power socket, the socket having a fixed surface, the fixed surface having at least one fixed groove, the fixed groove having an insertion entrance and a sliding section connected to the insertion entrance, the width of the insertion entrance being greater than the width of the sliding section, the sliding section having a head limiting groove recessed toward the fixed surface, the periphery of the head limiting groove forming two first baffles that gradually narrow toward the insertion entrance; a free-loading clamping seat, comprising: a fixing unit, comprising a first plate and a second plate opposite to each other, the first plate and the second plate defining a first clamping space, the first plate having a headed tenon, the headed tenon having a head and a neck, the maximum width of the head being less than the insertion entrance but greater than the sliding section, the first plate and the second plate sharing a clamping force in an axial direction; a movable washer, coupled to the first plate, the first plate being displaceable relative to the movable washer in the axial direction, and the movable washer defining a second clamping space between the headed tenon and the head of the headed tenon; The free-mounting clamp is installed on the fixed surface of the socket by engaging the tenon with the fixed groove. The head of the tenon passes through the insertion slot into the fixed groove, and the neck slides in the sliding section. After the head enters the sliding section, the first plate is operated to move relative to the movable pad in the axial direction, so that the head is locked in the head limiting groove and blocked by the first retaining wall, thereby preventing the tenon from sliding back from the sliding section to the insertion slot. Then, the clamping force is used to clamp an external object in the first clamping space. The external object can push the first plate relative to the movable pad to move by the clamping force, so that the second clamping space clamps the socket simultaneously.

6. A socket assembly with a removable clamp as described in claim 5, wherein, A second retaining wall is set at an appropriate position in the sliding section. When the tenon with the head is engaged with the fixing groove, the head is stuck in the head limiting groove and blocked by the first retaining wall, and the neck is blocked by the second retaining wall in the sliding section, so that the tenon with the head cannot slide back from the sliding section to the placement entrance.

7. A socket assembly with a removable clamp as described in claim 6, wherein, Two second retaining walls are installed at appropriate locations in the sliding section. The two second retaining walls are arranged in a gradually decreasing configuration from the adjacent inlet towards the sliding section, guiding the neck into the sliding section.

8. A socket assembly with a removable clamp as described in claim 5, wherein, The socket is an extension cord socket that extends longitudinally, and a plurality of the aforementioned AC power sockets and / or DC power sockets are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction, as are a plurality of the aforementioned fixing slots arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction.

9. A socket assembly with a removable clamp as described in claim 5, wherein, The fixing unit includes an open seat and a clamping rod. The open seat includes the first plate and the second plate, and a side plate connects the first plate and the second plate. The clamping rod has an operating end and a clamping end. The clamping end is located in the first clamping space. A threaded rod is connected between the operating end and the clamping end. The threaded rod is screwed onto the second plate in the axial direction to provide the clamping force.

10. A socket assembly with a removable clamp as described in claim 5, wherein, The movable pad includes a first pad and a second pad connected to each other, with a movable space formed between the first pad and the second pad. The movable space has a movable width between the first pad and the second pad. The first plate is located in the movable space. The aforementioned movable width is greater than the thickness of the first plate, so that the first plate and the movable pad have a displacement gap in the axial direction and can be relatively displaced.
