[0032] The following reference Figure 2 To the attached Figure 4 , describing the socket 1000 according to the first aspect of the present invention.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The socket 1000 of this embodiment includes: a base 1100, a shell 1200 and an abutment structure 1300. The base 1100 includes a sliding block 1120 and a stop block 1130 connected to each other; the shell 1200 includes a bottom shell 1210, which is arranged on one side of the base 1100 and connected to the sliding block 1120, and a through hole 1211 is provided on the bottom shell 1210; the abutment structure 1300 includes a driving member 1310, an abutment member 1320 and a reset member 1330, the driving member 1310 is slidably disposed on the housing 1200, the abutting member 1320 is disposed through the through hole 1211 and protrudes from the side of the bottom housing 1210 near the base 1100, the driving member 1310 is connected to the abutting member 1320, and by sliding the driving member 1310, it can drive the abutting member 1320 to retract toward the interior of the housing 1200, and the reset member 1330 is connected to the abutting member 1320 and is used to drive the abutting member 1320 to reset so that it protrudes from the bottom housing 1210. When the socket 1000 is installed on the track 2000, the stop block 1130 is accommodated within the track 2000, and the sliding block 1120 is partially accommodated within the track 2000, while the other portion protrudes from the track 2000 and is connected to the housing 1200, thereby driving the housing 1200 to slide along the track 2000. The abutment 1320 protrudes from the surface of the bottom shell 1210 and extends toward the side close to the stop block 1130 to abut the surface of the track 2000, and cooperates with the stop block 1130 to clamp the track 2000, thereby fixing the socket 1000 on the track 2000, which can prevent the socket 1000 from sliding and affecting the user's normal use of the socket 1000, or preventing the socket 1000 from sliding and causing poor contact between the socket 1000 and the track 2000.

[0034] It can be understood that, in the initial state, the reset member 1330 provides a force to the abutment 1320 to drive the abutment 1320 to protrude from the bottom shell 1210 through the through hole 1211 and extend toward the side of the bottom shell 1210 close to the stop block 1130. When the socket 1000 of this embodiment is installed on the track 2000, the abutment 1320 can be pressed against the outer surface of the track 2000, and the abutment 1320 cooperates with the stop portion to clamp the track 2000, thereby fixing the socket 1000 of this embodiment on the track 2000 to prevent the socket 1000 from sliding. When the socket 1000 needs to be moved, the driving member 1310 is pressed, and the abutting member 1320, driven by the driving member 1310, overcomes the force of the restoring member 1330 and moves along the through hole 1211 in a direction away from the stop block 1130, so that the abutting member 1320 no longer presses against the surface of the track 2000, thereby allowing the socket 1000 to slide along the track 2000. When the socket 1000 moves to the target position, the driving member 1310 is released, and under the action of the restoring member 1330, the driving member 1310 and the abutting member 1320 return to their initial positions, thereby fixing the socket 1000 on the track 2000.

[0035] It can be understood that the driving member 1310 includes a pressing portion 1313, a sliding portion 1312 and a transition portion 1311. The sliding portion 1312 is slidably arranged on the housing 1200. The pressing portion 1313 is connected to the sliding portion 1312 and slides out of the side wall 1220 of the housing 1200. The transition portion 1311 is connected to the pressing portion 1313 and is located on a side of the pressing portion 1313 close to the stop block 1130. The abutting member 1320 and the reset member 1330 are sleeved on the transition portion 1311, and the reset member 1330 abuts against the pressing portion 1313 and the abutting member 1320 respectively. Figure 3 and Figure 4 Specifically, the reset member 1330 is a torsion spring. In the initial state, the adapter portion 1311, the sliding portion 1312 and the torsion spring are all accommodated inside the shell 1200, and the pressing portion 1313 and the abutment member 1320 are partially accommodated inside the shell 1200 and partially protrude from the shell 1200. When the socket 1000 is moved, the pressing portion 1313 moves toward the inside of the shell 1200 under the action of external force, and drives the adapter portion 1311 to move. The end of the abutment 1320 connected to the adapter portion 1311 moves with the adapter portion 1311, and the side wall 1220 of the abutment 1320 contacts the side wall 1220 of the through hole 1211. The side wall 1220 of the through hole 1211 abuts against the side wall 1220 of the abutment 1320 and prevents the side wall 1220 of the abutment 1320 from moving, thereby causing the abutment 1320 to rotate relative to the adapter portion 1311, and then the abutment 1320 moves upward away from the end of the adapter portion 1311. At this time, the socket 1000 can slide freely along the track 2000 to adjust the position of the socket 1000. During the rotation of the abutment 1320, the abutment 1320 squeezes the torsion spring, so that the torsion spring will always be in a compressed state. However, after the pressing portion 1313 loses the external force, the pressing portion 1313 will return to its original position under the tension of the torsion spring, and the abutment 1320 will rotate relative to the adapter, moving downward away from the end of the adapter 1311 to protrude from the bottom shell 1210, and abut against the track 2000 to fix the socket 1000.

[0036] It can be understood that the bottom shell 1210 is provided with a support frame 1230, and the sliding portion 1312 is slidably provided on the support frame 1230. Figure 3 Specifically, the lower end of the support frame 1230 is fixed on the bottom shell 1210, and the upper end is provided with a slide groove, and the sliding part 1312 slides through the slide groove.

[0037] It can be understood that a first inclined surface is provided on the side wall 1220 of the abutting member 1320, and a second inclined surface adapted to the first inclined surface is provided on the side wall 1220 of the through hole 1211. Figure 3 and Figure 4Specifically, the abutment 1320 is inclined close to one side of the side wall of the through hole 1211, and the side wall of the through hole 1211 is in the same inclination direction as the abutment 1320, and the end of the first inclined surface close to the pressing portion 1313 is inclined toward the side away from the pressing portion 1313. Through such an arrangement, when the end of the abutment 1320 connected to the adapter portion 1311 moves inside the shell 1200, it is beneficial for the abutment 1320 to slide relative to the through hole 1211, making it more convenient to adjust the position of the abutment structure 1300, and it is also beneficial for the abutment 1320 to rotate back to its original position under the tension of the torsion spring after releasing the pressing portion 1313.

[0038] It is understandable that an anti-slip ridge 1321 is provided on one side surface of the abutment member 1320 close to the stop block 1130 .

[0039] It can be understood that there are two groups of abutment structures 1300. Providing two groups of abutment structures 1300 can provide two abutment points between the socket 1000 and the track 2000 when the socket 1000 is installed on the track 2000, which can make the socket 1000 more evenly stressed and more firmly fixed. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, the sliding block 1120 is arranged in the middle of the bottom shell 1210, and the two sets of abutment structures 1300 are respectively arranged on both sides of the sliding block 1120. When the socket 1000 is installed on the track 2000, in the width direction of the track 2000, the two sets of abutment structures 1300 can cooperate with the stop block 1130 to clamp the track 2000 on both sides of the sliding block 1120, so that the socket 1000 is fixed more firmly. It can be understood that the sliding block 1120 can also be set on the edge of an edge on the surface of the bottom shell 1210. At this time, the bottom shell 1210 is located on the same side of the sliding block 1120, and the two sets of abutment structures 1300 are both set on the same side of the sliding block 1120 and distributed along the length direction of the sliding block 1120. When the socket 1000 is installed on the track 2000, in the length direction of the track 2000, the two sets of abutment structures 1300 can cooperate with the stop block 1130 to clamp the track 2000 on the side of the sliding block 1120, so that the socket 1000 is fixed more firmly.

[0040] It can be understood that the two groups of abutment structures 1300 are arranged relative to each other, that is, the sliding paths of the sliding parts 1312 in the two groups of abutment structures 1300 are on the same straight line. This arrangement makes it convenient to press the pressing parts 1313 in the two groups of abutment structures 1300 at the same time, and synchronously adjust the positions of the abutment parts 1320 on the two groups of abutment structures 1300, which is convenient, fast, and saves time and effort.

[0041] It is understandable that the socket 1000 of this embodiment further includes a wiring assembly 1400, which is accommodated in the base 1100, with one end protruding to be accommodated in the housing 1200 and the other end protruding from the side wall 1220 of the stop block 1130. Figure 3 Specifically, the portion of the wiring assembly protruding from the stop block 1130 is provided with a rounded chamfer. Conventionally, after the stop block 1130 slides into the interior of the track 2000, the wiring assembly 1400 protruding from the surface of the stop block 1130 contacts the conductive wires inside the track 2000, ensuring normal power supply to the socket 1000. However, the provision of the rounded chamfer can reduce the wear of the conductive wires by the wiring assembly 1400 during the sliding process of the socket 1000, thereby extending the service life of the track 2000.

[0042] It can be understood that the stop block 1130 is an asymmetric structure relative to the plane where the sliding block 1120 is located. Conventionally, when installing the socket 1000, it is necessary to strictly follow the rule of connecting the neutral wire to the neutral wire and the live wire to the live wire to connect the jacks and conductive wires on the socket 1000. This embodiment sets the stop block 1130 as an asymmetric structure relative to the plane where the sliding block 1120 is located, which can more intuitively display the positive and negative structures of the socket 1000 and effectively prevent the user from connecting the socket 1000 in reverse on the track 2000. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, the sliding block 1120 and the stop block 1130 are arranged perpendicular to each other, with the sliding block 1120 positioned in the middle of the stop block 1130. A boss is provided on one side of the sliding block 1120 to distinguish the stop block 1130 from being located on the other side of the sliding block 1120. It is understood that different markings can be attached to the sides of the stop block 1130 and the sliding block 1120 to indicate the front and back of the socket 1000.

[0043] The following combination Figure 1 A track socket system according to a second embodiment of the present invention includes a track 2000 and the socket 1000 according to the first embodiment. The track 2000 is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating a stop block 1130. The top of the receiving cavity is provided with a slideway opening 2100. When the stop block 1130 is accommodated within the track 2000, the sliding block 1120 is partially accommodated in the slideway opening 2100 and can slide along the slideway opening 2100. By providing the socket 1000 according to the first embodiment, the track socket system of this embodiment is made more stable and user-friendly.

[0044] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
