[0014] In another implementation of the present disclosure, when the latch assembly is triggered to the first position, the first end of the spring is located below the second end relative to the same horizontal plane;

[0015] When the latch assembly is triggered to the second position, the first end of the spring is located above the second end relative to the same horizontal plane.

[0016] In yet another implementation of the present disclosure, the toggle button includes a connecting arm and an operating panel;

[0017] One end of the connecting arm is connected to the moving latch and is connected to the first end of the spring, and the other end extends relative to the housing and is connected to the operating panel.

[0020] In another implementation of the present disclosure, the base is a triangular prism, the axial direction of the base is perpendicular to the moving direction of the toggle button, one side of the base is located on the connecting arm, and the portion of the base facing away from the connecting arm is against the spring.

[0021] In another implementation of the present disclosure, two second mounting seats are provided on the inner wall of the shell, the two second mounting seats are arranged opposite to the two first mounting seats respectively, and the second end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the shell through the second mounting seats.

In this way, potential safety hazards are eliminated and the convenience of using the adapter is improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0045] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Sockets are common power supply devices, which are used to plug in and out power supply components such as plugs and adapters of various electrical appliances. Sockets include various types, such as track sockets, panel sockets, etc. The adapter provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applicable to various sockets such as track sockets, panel sockets, etc.

[0047] Figure 1 An exploded diagram of an adapter provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the adapter includes a latch assembly 1 , a housing 2 and an elastic assembly 3 .

[0048] A portion of the latch assembly 1 is located inside the housing 2, and another portion is located outside the housing 2 and is movable relative to the housing 2. The elastic assembly 3 is compressed between the latch assembly 1 and the inner wall of the housing 2.

[0049] The elastic component 3 is configured such that when the latch assembly 1 is triggered to the first position of the shell 2, the latch assembly 1 contacts the socket of the socket and remains in the first position; when the latch assembly 1 is triggered to the second position of the shell 2, the latch assembly 1 is spaced apart from the socket of the socket and remains in the second position.

[0050] In order to more clearly introduce the use of the adapter, first combine Figure 2 , the assembly method of the adapter on the track socket 100 is introduced. Figure 2 The following is a schematic diagram of the adapter being assembled on the track socket: Figure 2 As shown, the track socket 100 has a long strip-shaped sliding hole 110, which passes through the top surface of the track socket 100 and extends along the length direction of the track socket 100. Correspondingly, the socket socket 120 is a strip-shaped socket. The plug assembly 1 of the adapter is inserted into the sliding hole 110 from the opening at the end of the track socket 100, so that the plug assembly 1 can be powered in the track socket 100. The panel socket is more common, so it will not be described here.

[0051] Combine the following Figure 3 and 4 , which introduces how to use the adapter.

[0052] Figure 3 For a schematic diagram of the adapter power supply status, see Figure 3 If the adapter needs to draw power from the socket, the plug assembly 1 is moved to the first position, at which time the portion of the plug assembly 1 outside the housing 2 contacts the socket socket 120, and the adapter is in a state of drawing power. Furthermore, because the elastic component 3 can keep the plug assembly 1 in the first position, the plug assembly 1 can always be kept in contact with the socket socket 120, that is, the adapter can draw power stably.

[0053] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the adapter in non-power-off state, see Figure 4If the adapter does not need to draw power from the socket, the plug assembly 1 is moved to the second position, at which time the portion of the plug assembly 1 outside the housing 2 is spaced from the socket socket 120, and the adapter is in a non-power-drawing state. In addition, because the plug assembly 1 can be kept in the second position under the action of the elastic component 3, the plug assembly 1 can always be spaced from the socket socket 120, that is, the adapter is stably powered off.

[0054] That is to say, when the plug assembly 1 is in the first position, the adapter is in a power-on state. When the plug assembly 1 is in the second position, the adapter is in a non-power-on state. It can be seen that when the adapter is idle, there is no need to remove the adapter from the socket. It is only necessary to adjust the plug assembly 1 to the second position, and under the action of the elastic component 3, the plug assembly 1 is always spaced from the socket socket 120, that is, the adapter is kept in a power-off state. In this way, safety hazards are eliminated and the convenience of use of the adapter is improved.

[0055] As mentioned above, the adapter provided by the present disclosure can be applied to both the track socket 100 and the panel socket. The following takes these two sockets as examples to introduce the plug-in method of the adapter.

[0056] For the track socket 100, since the adapter needs to move along the length direction of the track socket 100, when the adapter is in a non-power-taking state, only the plug assembly 1 is no longer in contact with the socket socket 120, and the adapter as a whole is still installed on the track socket 100, so that the adapter is convenient to move to other required positions along the length direction of the track socket 100. In order to achieve this purpose, the bottom surface of the housing 2 (the side facing the track panel) has a buckle 23. The buckle 23 is the same as the plug assembly 1, and is also inserted into the sliding hole 110 from the opening at the end of the track socket 100, so that the buckle 23 is movably located in the track socket 100. In addition, the buckle 23 is in sliding contact with the board surface where the sliding hole 110 is located, and the size is larger than the hole pitch of the sliding hole 110, so that even if the plug assembly 1 is not in contact with the socket socket 120, it can slide stably without falling out of the track socket 100.

[0057] For the panel socket, since the position of the adapter on the panel socket is fixed and there is no need to move it, when the adapter is in a non-power-taking state, it is only necessary to ensure that the adapter does not fall out of the panel socket. Therefore, the structure of the buckle 23 can be simplified to reduce the production cost of the adapter.

[0058] As can be seen from the foregoing, the switching between the power-on state and the non-power-on state of the adapter is mainly achieved by the cooperation between the plug component 1 and the elastic component 3. Figure 1 , the latch assembly 1 and the elastic assembly 3 are introduced.

[0059] In this embodiment, the latch assembly 1 includes a movable latch 11 and a toggle button 12. The movable latch 11 extends relative to the housing 2 and can move relative to the housing 2, a portion of the toggle button 12 is located outside the housing 2, and another portion is located inside the housing 2 and connected to the movable latch 11, and the toggle button 12 can move relative to the housing 2.

[0060] When the movable plug 11 extends relative to the housing 2 and contacts the socket 120 of the socket, the adapter is in the power-on state. When the movable plug 11 is retracted relative to the housing 2 and spaced from the socket 120 of the socket, the adapter is in the non-power-on state. Since a portion of the toggle button 12 is located outside the housing 2, it is convenient for the user to toggle it. By toggling the toggle button 12 extending from the housing 2, the user moves the movable plug 11 relative to the housing 2, thereby switching the adapter between the power-on state and the non-power-on state.

[0061] The elastic component 3 includes two springs 31 , which are respectively located on both sides of the moving direction of the toggle button 12 . The first end of the spring 31 is connected to the toggle button 12 , and the second end of the spring 31 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 2 .

[0062] The moving direction of the toggle button 12 is the moving direction of the latch assembly 1 when switching between the first position and the second position. In the process of the toggle button 12 driving the movable latch 11 to move relative to the housing 2, the elastic force direction of the spring 31 changes accordingly. When the movable latch 11 extends relative to the housing 2 and contacts the socket 120 of the socket, the latch assembly 1 is in the first position state. At this time, the elastic force direction of the spring 31 points to the extending direction of the movable latch 11, so that the movable latch 11 can be pressed against the socket 120 of the socket by the elastic force, that is, the latch assembly 1 is kept in the first position and the adapter is powered normally. On the contrary, when the movable latch 11 is retracted relative to the housing 2 and spaced from the socket 120, the latch assembly 1 is in the second position state. At this time, the elastic force direction of the spring 31 points to the retracting direction of the movable latch 11, so that the elastic force can be used to keep the latch assembly 1 in the first position and the adapter is powered off.

[0063] The following are combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the positions of the spring 31 in the power-on state and the non-power-on state are introduced respectively.

[0064] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the spring position when the adapter is powered. Figure 5 When the latch assembly 1 is triggered to the first position, the first end of the spring 31 is located below the second end relative to the same horizontal plane.

[0065] In the above implementation, since the first end of the spring 31 is located below the second end, the elastic force of the spring 31 on the toggle button 12 is downward, that is, pointing to the extension direction of the mobile latch 11, so that the latch assembly 1 remains in the first position.

[0066] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the spring position when the adapter is not powered. Figure 6 When the latch assembly 1 is triggered to the second position, the first end of the spring 31 is located above the second end relative to the same horizontal plane.

[0067] Based on the same principle, since the first end of the spring 31 is located above the second end, the elastic force of the spring 31 on the toggle button 12 is upward, that is, pointing to the retraction direction of the movable latch 11, so that the latch assembly 1 remains in the second position.

[0068] It should be noted that the above implementation method utilizes the uncertainty of the middle position of the spring 31. Therefore, based on similar principles, in other embodiments, a metal spring with a certain toughness can be used as the elastic component 3, and the toggle button 12 is connected to the middle of the metal spring. When the latch assembly 1 is in the first position, the middle of the metal spring is recessed downward, and under the elastic force of the metal spring itself, the middle part remains recessed downward, so that the latch assembly 1 remains in the first position, and the adapter draws power normally. Conversely, when the latch assembly 1 is in the second position, the middle part of the metal spring bulges upward, and under the elastic force of the metal spring itself, the middle part remains protruding upward, so that the latch assembly 1 remains in the second position, and the adapter draws power normally.

[0069] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the toggle button. Figure 7 The toggle button 12 will be described.

[0070] In this embodiment, the toggle button 12 includes a connecting arm 121 and an operating plate 123 , one end of the connecting arm 121 is connected to the movable latch 11 and connected to the first end of the spring 31 , and the other end extends relative to the housing 2 and is connected to the operating plate 123 .

[0071] In the above implementation, the connecting arm 121 is used to connect the operating panel 123 and the movable latch 11. The operating panel 123 is located outside the housing 2, so that the user can move it, so that the operating panel 123 can drive the movable latch 11 to move through the connecting arm 121.

[0072] Optionally, the connecting arm 121 is arranged perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving bolt 11, and the operating plate 123 is arranged perpendicular to the connecting arm 121. That is, when the moving bolt 11 moves, the operating plate 123 can move synchronously along the moving direction of the moving bolt 11, thereby avoiding interference between the moving bolt and other components.

[0073] In this embodiment, the toggle button 12 also includes two first mounting seats 122 , both of which are located on the connecting arm 121 and are respectively located on both sides of the moving direction of the toggle button 12 , and the first end of the spring 31 is connected to the connecting arm 121 through the first mounting seat 122 .

[0074] Since the outer wall of the connecting arm 121 is a smooth plane, it is not easy for the first end of the spring 31 to be connected to the connecting arm 121. Therefore, a first mounting seat 122 is provided on the connecting arm 121, and the first mounting seat 122 is used to provide a mounting base for the first end of the spring 31, so that the first end of the spring 31 can be stably mounted on the connecting arm 121.

[0075] The positions of the two first mounting seats 122 on the connecting arm 121 are symmetrical about the axis of the connecting arm 121 , so that the elastic forces of the two springs 31 acting on the connecting arm 121 can be more concentrated, so as to better exert the elastic forces on the connecting arm 121 .

[0076] In this embodiment, the first mounting seat 122 includes a base 1221 and a pin 1222. The base 1221 is located on the connecting arm 121, and the pin 1222 is located on the base 1221 away from the connecting arm 121. The pin 1222 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the toggle button 12, and the pin 1222 is inserted into the spring 31.

[0077] The base 1221 is used to bear the elastic force of the spring 31, and the pin 1222 is used to fix the spring 31 to prevent the spring 31 from falling out of the first mounting seat 122. Since the spring 31 is always in a compressed state regardless of whether the latch assembly 1 is in the first position or the second position, the first end of the spring 31 can always be firmly mounted on the pin 1222 without the problem of loosening, thereby ensuring the reliability of the adapter.

[0078] In other embodiments, the pin 1222 may be replaced by a recessed hole, which is located on the base 1221 away from the connecting arm 121, and the first end of the spring 31 is inserted into the recessed hole. Due to the elasticity of the spring 31, the second end of the spring 31 will always be inserted into the recessed hole, and the first end of the spring 31 can also be firmly connected to the connecting arm 121.

[0079] Optionally, the base 1221 is a triangular prism, the axial direction of the base 1221 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the toggle button 12 , one side of the base 1221 is located on the connecting arm 121 , and the portion of the base 1221 away from the connecting arm 121 abuts against the spring 31 .

[0080] In addition to a side surface of the base 1221 located on the connecting arm 121, the base 1221 also includes an upper side surface and a lower side surface, wherein the upper side surface is arranged toward the top surface of the housing 2, and the lower side surface is arranged toward the bottom surface of the housing 2. The base 1221 is set as a triangular prism, which can ensure the stable compression of the spring 31 when the latch assembly 1 is located in the first position and the second position. For example, when the latch assembly 1 is located in the first position, the first end of the spring 31 is located below the second end, at this time, the first end of the spring 31 is against the upper side surface of the base 1221, thereby increasing the contact area between the spring 31 and the base 1221 by using the upper side surface, so as to improve the stability of the spring 31 on the first mounting seat 122. Based on the same principle, when the latch assembly 1 is located in the second position, the first end of the spring 31 is located above the second end, at this time, the first end of the spring 31 is against the lower side surface of the base 1221, thereby increasing the contact area between the spring 31 and the base 1221 by using the lower side surface, so as to improve the stability of the spring 31 on the first mounting seat 122.

[0081] In addition, the portion of the base 1221 that faces away from the connecting arm 121 can be an outer chamfer 1223, so that when the latch assembly 1 is switched between the first position and the second position, the first end of the spring 31 can swing relative to the base 1221, which is conducive to the switching of the first end of the spring 31 between the upper side and the lower side.

[0082] Combination of the above Figure 7 The first end of the spring 31 is described to be firmly mounted on the connecting arm 121 by using the first mounting seat 122. Figure 6 , introducing the installation method of the second end of the spring 31 on the inner wall of the housing 2.

[0083] In this embodiment, two second mounting seats 21 are provided on the inner wall of the housing 2 , and the two second mounting seats 21 are respectively arranged opposite to the two first mounting seats 122 , and the second end of the spring 31 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 2 through the second mounting seats 21 .

[0084] Since the inner wall of the housing 2 is also a smooth plane, it is not easy for the second end of the spring 31 to be connected to the inner wall of the housing 2. Therefore, a second mounting seat 21 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 2, and the second mounting seat 21 is used to provide a mounting base for the second end of the spring 31, so that the second end of the spring 31 can be stably mounted on the inner wall of the housing 2. The structure of the second mounting seat 21 can be the same as that of the first mounting seat 122, so it is not repeated here.

[0085] As can be seen from the foregoing, the movable plug 11 is used to take electricity from the socket, that is, to electrically connect the socket 120 of the socket with the socket 4 of the adapter. Figure 8 The movable latch 11 is introduced.

[0086] Figure 8 : is a schematic diagram of the structure of the movable plug. In this embodiment, the movable plug 11 includes a slide 111, an insert 112 and a contact 113. A portion of the slide 111 is located outside the housing 2, and another portion is located inside the housing 2 and can move relative to the housing 2. The insert 112 is located on the slide 111 and is used to plug into the socket 4 of the adapter. The contact 113 is located on the slide 111 and is connected to the insert 112. The contact 113 is used to contact the socket 120 of the socket.

[0087] In the above implementation, the plug 112 can be separated from or plugged into the socket 4 of the adapter as the movable plug 11 moves. Similarly, the contact 113 can be separated from or contacted with the socket 120 of the socket as the movable plug 11 moves. The slide 111 is used to provide a mounting base for the plug 112 and the contact 113, so that the plug 112 and the contact 113 can be connected together to electrically connect the socket 120 of the socket with the socket 4 of the adapter.

[0088] It is easy to understand that the number of plugs 112 and contacts 113 should correspond to each other. If the adapter is suitable for a two-hole socket, the number of plugs 112 and the number of contacts 113 should both be two. If the adapter is suitable for a three-hole socket, the number of plugs 112 and the number of contacts 113 should both be three (e.g. Figure 8 That is, the number of the plugs 112 and the contacts 113 can be adjusted according to the applicable socket, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0089] Combine the following Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The plug-in relationship between the plug-in piece 112 and the plug-in sleeve 4 of the adapter is introduced. It should be noted that in order to more clearly show the plug-in relationship between the plug-in piece 112 and the plug-in sleeve 4 of the adapter, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The housing 2 is hidden in the figure.

[0090] Fig. 9 This is a schematic diagram of the position of the plug when the adapter is in power-drawing state. When the movable plug 11 is extended relative to the housing 2 and the contact 113 is in contact with the socket 120 of the socket, the plug 112 is also inserted into the socket 4 of the adapter, so that the contact 113 and the plug 112 can conduct the socket 120 of the socket and the socket 4 of the adapter to enable the adapter to draw power.

[0091] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the plug 112 can be in good contact with the adapter socket 4, the thickness of the plug 112 should be slightly larger than the socket of the adapter socket 4. Since the adapter socket 4 is a copper piece, it can have a certain toughness, ensuring that the thicker plug 112 can also be smoothly plugged into the adapter socket 4.

[0092] Fig.10 This is a schematic diagram of the position of the plug when the adapter is not powered on. When the movable plug 11 is retracted relative to the housing 2 and the contact 113 is spaced apart from the socket 120 of the socket, the plug 112 is also spaced apart from the socket 4 of the adapter, so that the contact 113 and the plug 112 are no longer conducting the socket 120 of the socket and the socket 4 of the adapter, thereby powering off the adapter.

[0093] Fig.11 The internal structure diagram of the adapter is shown in Figure 2. Fig.11 In this embodiment, a guide groove 22 is provided in the housing 2 , and the guide groove 22 extends along the moving direction of the latch assembly 1 . A guide platform 114 is provided on the slide seat 111 , and the guide platform 114 is movably inserted in the guide groove 22 .

[0094] In the above implementation, since the guide groove 22 extends along the moving direction of the latch assembly 1, the guide groove 22 can guide the movement of the slide 111, thereby avoiding unnecessary shaking or tilting of the slide 111 during the movement, and ensuring the reliability of the adapter.

[0095] Optionally, the slide 111 is a plate-shaped structural member, and the guide platform 114 is a long strip-shaped structural member extending from both sides of the slide 111, and the length direction of the guide platform 114 is the same as the moving direction of the slide 111. Since there are guide platforms 114 on both sides of the slide 111, the slide 111 can be guided more stably, further ensuring the reliability of the adapter.

[0096] The following is an introduction to the use of the adapter provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure on the track socket 100:

[0097] Make sure that the latch assembly 1 is already in the second position, so that the adapter can be prevented from being powered on when it is just inserted into the track socket 100, eliminating potential safety hazards. Insert the latch assembly 1 and the buckle 23 into the slide hole 110 from the opening at the end of the track socket 100, thereby completing the installation of the adapter on the track socket 100. In this case, the adapter can slide freely on the track socket 100 along the slide hole 110, so as to move to a suitable position for use by the user.

[0098] When the user needs to use the adapter to draw power, the plug assembly 1 is moved to the first position, and the portion of the plug assembly 1 outside the housing 2 is in contact with the socket socket 120, so that the adapter draws power. In addition, because the elastic component 3 can keep the plug assembly 1 in the first position, the plug assembly 1 can always be in contact with the socket socket 120, so that the adapter can draw power stably.

[0099] When the user does not need the adapter to draw power, the plug assembly 1 is moved to the second position, at which time the portion of the plug assembly 1 outside the housing 2 is spaced from the socket socket 120, thereby disconnecting the adapter from power. Furthermore, because the elastic assembly 3 can keep the plug assembly 1 in the second position, the plug assembly 1 can always be spaced from the socket socket 120, thereby disconnecting the adapter from power.

[0100] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
