Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of socket technology, and more specifically to a track socket adapter. Background Technology
[0002] Track sockets are a new type of power outlet product, mainly composed of two parts: a power track and an adapter. This type of socket offers greater flexibility because the track length can be customized to meet specific needs. The longer the track, the more adapters can be added, eliminating concerns about insufficient track length between appliances and the socket. Furthermore, track sockets are generally safer than standard sockets, although they are also more expensive and have a more aesthetically pleasing design. Installing track sockets can solve the problem of messy wiring in the home, resulting in a tidier living environment.
[0003] A track socket adapter is a common power socket accessory. It is mainly used to adapt electrical plugs of different shapes to track sockets, so that electrical appliances can be smoothly inserted into the track sockets and can be stably connected to the power supply.
[0004] A rail-mounted socket adapter typically consists of an adapter body, contacts, and sockets. The adapter body is the core of the adapter, usually made of plastic or metal, and contains a circuit board and contacts. The contacts are the key components for connecting the adapter to the rail socket; they are typically made of conductive materials such as copper or nickel, and are used to transmit power from the rail socket to the adapter body.
[0005] The socket is connected to the contact point, allowing external electrical appliances to draw power from the adapter through the socket.
[0006] The main function of a track socket adapter is to change the shape and type of the socket to accommodate different electrical plugs. By using an adapter, round or flat plugs can be converted to flat or other shapes, allowing appliances to be smoothly inserted into the track socket and ensuring a stable power supply. Furthermore, adapters can increase the number and length of track sockets, enabling them to support more electrical plugs and making them more practical and convenient.
[0007] The adapter and its rail socket with publication number CN116345216A include a base and two conductive pins, a main gear, two auxiliary gears, an adjusting ring, and a middle seat that limits the two auxiliary gears in the axial direction. The adjusting ring is connected to the main gear, which drives the two conductive tabs to swing synchronously by rotating the main gear coaxially. This allows the ends of the two conductive tabs to extend in opposite directions from their respective windows after the adapter is installed on the track plate, establishing an electrical connection with the track plate and ensuring a secure installation. The adapter's bottom rotates through the engagement of the main gear with the secondary gears on the outer periphery of the two conductive posts, thus opening and closing the adapter. However, the gear transmission components may wear down after prolonged use, leading to poor contact or uneven rotation, affecting the socket's lifespan. Furthermore, due to the mechanical movement involved, jamming, breakage, or other mechanical failures may occur, preventing normal operation and even making it difficult for users to easily plug and unplug the socket. Repairing or replacing the gear transmission components is also troublesome, requiring professional disassembly and repair. Noise may be generated during gear transmission, especially during rotation, which could affect the user experience. In addition, frequent operation of the gear transmission components accelerates their lifespan reduction and makes them more susceptible to environmental factors, thus reducing their durability. Summary of the Invention
[0008] This invention provides a track socket adapter that solves the problems of existing devices that use gear transmission structures as rotary conductive switch structures, which lead to wear and tear over long-term use, resulting in poor contact or uneven rotation and affecting the lifespan of the socket. Furthermore, due to the mechanical movement involved, jamming, breakage, or other mechanical failures may occur, causing the device to malfunction and even making it difficult for users to easily plug and unplug the socket. Additionally, it is inconvenient to disassemble and maintain the device when damaged. Moreover, noise may be generated during gear transmission, affecting the user experience.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A track socket adapter includes a base with a disc-shaped structure. A plug-in post is located in the center of the base. Two guide grooves are located on the base surface on both sides of the plug-in post, aligned in a straight line. A fixing post is also located on one side of the base surface of the plug-in post. A button hole is located on the base wall of the other side. A stop block is located on the base surface on the side of the button hole. The stop block, the button hole, and the fixing post are aligned in a straight line and pass through the plug-in post. A conductive switch assembly includes a shaft fixing member with a Y-shaped plate structure. Pressure blocks are located at the bottom of both ends and accommodated in the two guide grooves. The other end is fixed to the fixing post. A lever and a rocker arm are fixed to the fixing post. Openings are provided on the shaft fixing member at the edges of the two guide grooves to accommodate conductive posts. A rotating block with a shaft is fitted onto each of the two conductive posts.
[0010] Preferably, the guide groove is rectangular and located at both ends of the plug-in post, with the plug-in post located at the center of the base. The guide groove and the plug-in post are on the same straight line and perpendicular to the straight line connecting the stop block, the button hole, and the fixing post. The outer periphery of the plug-in post is also provided with an annular groove that penetrates the base. A rotating buckle is inserted into the annular groove, and the rotating buckle has protrusions at both ends, which are respectively accommodated in the guide groove.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom surface of the base is also provided with a guide rail limiting plate. The guide rail limiting plate is a rectangular frame structure and is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the base. The guide rail limiting plate is parallel to the guide groove and passes through the plug-in post. The plug-in post passes through the base and is integrally formed with the guide rail limiting plate. A grounding plug hole is provided through the plug-in post. A base grounding plug is provided in the grounding plug hole. The guide rail limiting plate is used to cooperate with the rail and is plugged into the rail.
[0012] Preferably, the conductive switch assembly further includes a rotating offset plate, which is a plate-shaped structure mounted on a base. One end of the rotating offset plate is provided with a rotating button, which matches and is accommodated in a button hole. The surface of the rotating offset plate is provided with a rectangular groove, and a stop block is accommodated in the rectangular groove. The other end of the rotating offset plate is offset and engages with one of the protrusions of the rotating buckle. The rotating offset plate controls the rotation of the rotating buckle. By controlling the rotating buckle, the locking mechanism on the protrusion is controlled to rotate, thereby controlling the movement or locking state of the invention on the track.
[0013] Preferably, it also includes a rotating seat, which is a tubular structure installed on the base and can rotate on its own axis. The inner wall of the rotating seat is provided with several ribs, which extend toward the center of the rotating seat and the surface of the fixed column. A central plate is sleeved around the fixed column. The central plate is integrally formed with the ribs, and both ends of the central plate are provided with slider holes, which match the slider shaft provided on the rotating block with shaft.
[0014] Preferably, the system also includes an inner core, which is a plate-like structure mounted on the surface of the central plate. The inner core has through holes that match the ends of the conductive posts, with the ends of the conductive posts passing through the through holes and exposed on the surface of the inner core. The inner core also has threaded holes that match several fixing holes on the surface of the base. The threaded holes and fixing holes correspond one-to-one and are connected by threads. The inner core is used to isolate the base from the socket module, preventing short circuits between the internal structure of the base and the socket module circuit. Therefore, the inner core is made of insulating material. In addition, the inner core also has the function of limiting the rotation angle of the rotating seat. The rotating seat has four ribs, and the inner core between adjacent ribs is equipped with baffles. The inner core is fixedly connected to the base. When the rotating seat rotates, the ribs of the rotating seat touch the baffles of the inner core, thereby controlling the rotation angle of the rotating seat, preventing the rotating seat from spinning without resistance, and improving human-machine interaction and switching convenience.
[0015] Preferably, the fixing post penetrates the surface of the inner core, and a socket grounding plug is fixed to one side of the base grounding plug embedded in the fixing post near the inner core. A socket module is provided at the socket grounding plug, and the socket module is mounted in the middle of the inner core, with the inner core located in the middle of the socket module. Socket conductive plates are also provided at both ends of the bottom of the socket module and connected to the conductive post on the same side. The socket grounding plug is used to connect to the ground wire in the guide rail to avoid static electricity. The socket grounding plug is also used to connect to the grounding head of the appliance plug, thereby completing the complete grounding circuit of the appliance and improving safety. The socket conductive plate is connected to the conductive post, and the other end of the conductive post is connected to the live wire in the guide rail to provide power.
[0016] Preferably, the rocker arm is embedded in the bottom of the center plate, and a spring is provided between the rocker arm and the lever. The rocker arm can rotate on its own axis on the lever, and the spring between them can increase the damping force of the rocker arm's rotation. When the rocker arm is embedded in the center plate, rotating the rotating seat will drive the center plate to rotate, which in turn will drive the rocker arm to rotate on its own axis on the lever. The spring between the rocker arm and the lever increases the damping force, so that the rotation of the rotating seat has damping force and feedback force, thereby improving the human-computer interaction capability. In addition, the spring can maintain the locking effect of the rotating seat in the left and right rotation limit states, thereby achieving the ability to control the switch by rotation.
[0017] Preferably, the rotating buckle has a latch on one side of the protrusion near the guide rail limiting plate, and there is only one latch on the same side of the two protrusions. The latch is used to control the movement state of the invention on the track, and the protrusion is controlled by the rotating offset plate that is latched. The start and stop of the invention on the track can be controlled by the rotation button on the rotating offset plate. The start and stop can be controlled by the externally set button, which is convenient for users to operate and reduces the learning cost.
[0018] Preferably, the rotating base is also fitted with a socket cover, and the socket cover is provided with a socket hole that matches the socket module. The socket hole is generally a five-hole socket module. The socket cover is provided with a socket hole that matches the hole position of the socket module for inserting an electrical appliance plug, thereby connecting the circuit.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention replaces the traditional gear transmission structure with a slider-linkage structure consisting of a rotating block with a shaft and a central plate. Its advantages include: Simplified design: Slider-linkage mechanisms are generally simpler than gear transmission mechanisms because they contain fewer parts. This reduces production and assembly complexity, thus lowering costs. Reduced wear: Gears in gear transmission structures mesh with each other, which can lead to wear and noise over time. In contrast, slider-linkage structures have a larger contact area, reducing stress concentration caused by point contact, and therefore potentially resulting in a lower wear rate. Improved durability and stability: Since slider and link structures do not involve precise gear alignment, they are likely to be more robust and durable. Furthermore, this structure may be more stable in the face of shocks and vibrations. Ease of maintenance: Slider and linkage mechanisms are generally easier to inspect and maintain because their components are more accessible. This means that any damaged parts are easier to replace. Reduced noise: Compared to gear transmissions, slider and linkage mechanisms may generate less noise during operation because they do not have the friction and collision noise produced by meshing gears.
[0020] Secondly, a spring is provided between the rocker arm and the lever of the present invention, and the spring adopts an eccentric design that deviates from the plug post. When the rotating seat rotates, the spring deforms more, thereby giving the rotating seat a higher torque, thus achieving more precise and stable control. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The rotating buckle 6.4 has a latch on one side of the protrusion near the guide rail limiting plate, and there is only one latch on the same side of the two protrusions. The latch is used to control the movement state of the invention on the track, and the protrusion is controlled by the rotating offset plate that is latched.

[0040] Reference Figure 4This is a side view of the base structure in Embodiment 1. The bottom surface of the base is also provided with a guide rail limiting plate 7.7. The guide rail limiting plate 7.7 is a rectangular frame structure and perpendicular to the bottom surface of the base. The guide rail limiting plate is parallel to the guide groove and passes through the insertion post 7.31. The insertion post penetrates the base and is integrally formed with the guide rail limiting plate. A grounding socket 7.3 is provided through the insertion post, and a base grounding insert 8 is provided in the grounding socket. The guide rail limiting plate is used to cooperate with the track and is inserted into the track.

The bottom surface of the base is also provided with a guide rail limiting plate 7.7. The guide rail limiting plate 7.7 is a rectangular frame structure perpendicular to the bottom surface of the base. The guide rail limiting plate is parallel to the guide groove 7.5 and passes through the insertion post 7.31.

A grounding socket 7.3 is provided through the insertion post, and a base grounding insert 8 is provided inside the grounding socket. The guide rail limiting plate is used to cooperate with the rail and is inserted into the rail.
[0042] Reference Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram showing the installation relationship between the base structure and the rotating seat structure in Embodiment 1. It also includes a rotating seat 1.2, which is a tubular structure mounted on the base and capable of rotating on its own axis. The inner wall of the rotating seat has several ribs extending towards the center of the rotating seat and the surface of the fixed column. A central plate 1.21 is fitted around the fixed column 7.9. The central plate and the ribs are integrally formed, and both ends of the central plate 1.21 have slider holes 1.22, which match the slider shafts provided on the rotating block with shaft.
[0043] The rotating base is also fitted with a socket cover 1, and the socket cover 1 is provided with a socket hole that matches the socket module. The socket hole is generally a five-hole socket module. The socket cover is provided with a socket hole that matches the hole position of the socket module for inserting an electrical appliance plug to connect the circuit.
[0044] Reference Figure 7This is a schematic diagram illustrating the installation relationship between the socket module and the rotating base structure in Embodiment 1. It also includes an inner core 4, which is a plate-like structure mounted on the surface of a central plate. The inner core has through holes that match the ends of the conductive posts 5. The ends of the conductive posts 5 pass through the through holes and are exposed on the surface of the inner core. The inner core also has threaded holes that match several fixing holes on the surface of the base. The threaded holes and fixing holes correspond one-to-one and are connected by threads. The inner core is used to isolate the base from the socket module, preventing short circuits between the internal structure of the base and the socket module circuit. Therefore, the inner core is made of insulating material. Furthermore, the inner core also limits the rotation angle of the rotating base. The rotating base has four ribs, and baffles are provided between adjacent ribs in the inner core. The inner core is fixedly connected to the base. When the rotating base rotates, the ribs of the rotating base touch the baffles of the inner core, thereby controlling the rotation angle of the rotating base, preventing the rotating base from spinning without resistance, and improving human-machine interaction and switching convenience.
[0045] The fixing post penetrates the surface of the inner core, and a socket grounding plug is fixed to one side of the base grounding plug embedded in the fixing post near the inner core. A socket module is provided at the socket grounding plug, and the socket module is mounted in the middle of the inner core, with the inner core located in the middle of the socket module. The bottom ends of the socket module are also provided with socket conductive plates that are connected to the conductive post on the same side.

The rocker arm can rotate on its own axis on the lever, and the spring between them can increase the damping force of the rocker arm's rotation. When the rocker arm is embedded in the center plate, rotating the rotating seat will drive the center plate to rotate, which in turn will drive the rocker arm to rotate on its own axis on the lever. The spring between the rocker arm and the lever increases the damping force, so that the rotation of the rotating seat has damping force and feedback force, thereby improving the human-computer interaction capability. In addition, the spring can maintain the locking effect of the rotating seat in the left and right rotation limit states, thereby achieving the ability to control the switch by rotation.
[0047] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on this, after further refining the technical solutions regarding shape, structure, positional relationships, and connection relationships, Embodiment 2 was obtained. Embodiment 2 was then assembled to obtain... Figure 8 , Figure 8This is a front view schematic diagram of the overall structure of Embodiment 2. Embodiment 2 is the same as Embodiment 1, both being a track socket adapter, including a base with a disc-shaped structure and an outer wall around its perimeter. A plug-in post is located in the center of the base. Two guide grooves are located on the base surface on both sides of the plug-in post, aligned in a straight line. A fixing post is also provided on one side of the base surface of the plug-in post, and a button hole is provided on the base wall of the other side. A stop block is provided on the base surface on the side of the button hole. The stop block, the button hole, and the fixing post are aligned in a straight line and pass through the plug-in post. Furthermore, the line connecting the two guide grooves is perpendicular to the line connecting the stop block, the button hole, and the fixing post; the conductive switch assembly includes a shaft fixing member, which is a Y-shaped plate structure with pressure blocks at both ends, which are accommodated in the two guide grooves, and the other end is fixed to the fixing post. The fixing post is provided with a lever and a rocker arm fixed on top, and a spring is engaged between the lever and the rocker arm. The shaft fixing member at the edge of the two guide grooves is provided with an opening to accommodate the conductive post. A rotating block with a shaft is sleeved on each of the two conductive posts. The bottom of the conductive post and the pressure block are accommodated in the guide rail limiting plate.
[0048] It should be noted that the base, guide rail limit plate, inner core, and rotating seat must all be made of insulating materials.
[0049] The working principles of Examples 1 and 2 are as follows: Rotating the rotating seat of the adapter in this embodiment causes the center plate to rotate, which in turn causes the slider hole to rotate, causing the rotating block with shaft inside the slider hole to rotate. The rotation of the rotating seat has a fixed range. The inner core is fixedly connected to the base. The baffle provided on the inner core is the rotation limit of the rotating seat. When the rotating seat rotates, it will touch the baffle when it rotates left or right, reaching the left or right rotation limit. When the rotating seat rotates, it drives the rotating block with shaft, which is connected to the conductive post. Therefore, when the rotating block with shaft rotates, it drives the conductive post to rotate, which in turn drives the switch conductive piece provided on the conductive post to rotate. When the switch conductive piece changes from a state parallel to the guide rail limit plate to a state of being rotated out and intersecting the guide rail limit plate, it can be connected to the main circuit in the track, thus putting the adapter in this embodiment in a circuit state. Rotating the rotating seat so that the switch conductive piece is parallel to the guide rail limit plate puts it in an open circuit state.
[0050] The beneficial effects of Examples 1 and 2 are as follows: This embodiment uses a slider-linkage structure with a rotating block and a center plate to replace the traditional gear transmission structure. Its advantages include: Simplified design: Slider-linkage mechanisms are generally simpler than gear transmission mechanisms because they contain fewer parts. This reduces production and assembly complexity, thus lowering costs. Reduced wear: Gears in gear transmission structures mesh with each other, which can lead to wear and noise over time. In contrast, slider-linkage structures have a larger contact area, reducing stress concentration caused by point contact, and therefore potentially resulting in a lower wear rate. Improved durability and stability: Since slider and link structures do not have the problem of precise gear alignment, they are likely to be more robust and durable. Furthermore, this structure may be more stable in the face of shocks and vibrations. Ease of maintenance: Slider and linkage mechanisms are generally easier to inspect and maintain because their components are more accessible. This means that any damaged parts are easier to replace. Reduced noise: Compared to gear transmissions, slider and linkage mechanisms may generate less noise during operation because they do not have the friction and collision noise produced by meshing gears.
[0051] Secondly, a spring is provided between the rocker arm and the lever in this embodiment, and the spring adopts an eccentric design that is off-center from the center of the plug-in post. In the initial state, the spring is in a state of torsional deformation. When the rotating seat rotates, the degree of torsional deformation of the spring is greater, thereby making the rotation of the rotating seat have higher torque, thus achieving more precise and stable control.
[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modifications, alterations, and equivalent transformations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
