Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to socket technology, in particular to a magic cube socket. Background Art

[0002] A socket, also known as a power socket or switch socket, is a receptacle that accepts one or more circuit wiring. Various wiring can be inserted into it, facilitating connection to other circuits. The connection and disconnection between the wiring and the copper components ultimately connect and disconnect that portion of the circuit. Currently, there are many types of sockets, and the Rubik's Cube socket is one of them. CN214673339U discloses a Rubik's Cube socket. A first copper bar is movably mounted within the housing, a second copper bar is movably mounted on the first copper bar, and a third copper bar is movably mounted on the second copper bar. The Rubik's Cube socket has a first copper bar bracket movably mounted within the housing, a second copper bar bracket movably mounted on the first copper bar bracket, an inner layer of a third copper bar bracket movably mounted on the second copper bar bracket, and four socket bases movably mounted on the inner layer of the third copper bar bracket. Using only a simple copper bar structure, the plug and socket can easily separate under slight external force during actual use, resulting in poor contact between the socket and the plug.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 13As shown, the magic cube socket of the present invention includes a shell 1, a retaining member 2, an insulating member 3 and a conductive component 4. The retaining member 2 is used to install the insulating member 3, so that the insulating member 3 can be fixed on the retaining member 2. At the same time, when the insulating member 3 is inserted by the insertion rod 5, the contact plate 6 on the insulating member 3 can be pushed by the insertion rod 5, so that the insertion rod 5 passes through the notch 7. The arc-shaped portion 8 in the notch 7 generates friction with the surface of the insertion rod 5, thereby limiting the position of the insertion rod 5. The insertion rod 5 is squeezed and fixed in the notch 7 by elastic force, and the insertion rod 5 will not be easily detached. The conductive component 4 is arranged at the rear end of the insulating member 3. After the insertion, the retaining rod 5 passes through the insulating member 3, so that it contacts the conductive component 4. When contacting the conductive component 4, the insertion rod 5 needs to be fully inserted, so that the elastic member 9 in the conductive component 4 is pushed and deformed, so that the insertion rod 5 can contact the conductive column 10 through the elastic member 9.

[0037] The upper end of the housing 1 is provided with a cover 11. The interior of the cover 11 is hollowed out, and a coil can be placed inside the cover 11 to achieve wireless charging. The wireless charging structure can be connected to the first power terminal 12 and the second power terminal 13 in the same way as the conductive column 10, and power can be achieved by direct insertion.

[0038] The housing 1 is provided with a lip 14 which can be directly inserted into the cover 11 to install the cover 11. The lip 14 can be installed by a snap-fit ​​structure or by bonding to fix the cover 11 to the housing 1.

[0039] An integrated plug 15 is provided at the lower end of the housing 1. Plug 15 is equipped with an insertion rod 5, allowing for inter-connection of multiple sockets. The interior of the housing 1 is hollowed out to form a mounting chamber 16. An insulator 17 is located within this chamber, consisting of a mounting portion 18 and a fixing portion 19, with the fixing portion 19 located at the upper end of the mounting portion 18. Conductive posts 10 are also provided on the mounting portion 18. These posts are located at the four corners of the fixing portion 19 and connect to the plug 15. Connecting posts 10 to the insertion rod 5 of the plug 15 can be achieved by installing connecting rods (not shown) within the mounting portion 18. The plug 15 and housing 1 are integrally molded, with the insertion rod 5, connecting rod, and conductive posts 10 encased in the insulator 17. Since adjacent conductive posts 10 have opposite electrodes, while the diagonal electrodes of the fixing portion 19 have the same electrodes, the first and second electrical terminals 12 and 13 are arranged in a cross-vertical arrangement.

[0040] The fixing portion 19 is provided with a vertically arranged diagonal slot 20, and the conductive pillars 10 are respectively arranged at both ends of the diagonal slot 20. An annular body 21 is provided on the outside of the fixing portion 19, and the annular body 21 is connected to the fixing portion 19 by a connecting portion 22. The annular body 21 is provided with multiple sliding holes 23.

[0041] The conductive post 10 is formed with a clamping portion 24, with a clamping opening 25 formed between the clamping portions 24. When the first and second electrical terminals 12, 13 are inserted into the clamping opening 25, the clamping portions 24 and 24 are retained to clamp the first and second electrical terminals 12, 13, thereby achieving electrical connection. Furthermore, the clamping portion 24 is provided with an inclined guide surface 26 to guide the insertion of the first and second electrical terminals 12, 13.

[0042] The retainer 2 is mounted on the inner wall of the mounting chamber 16. The housing 1 is provided with multiple docking portions 27 for mating with the plug 15. The centers of the docking portions 27 form slots 28 for the plug 15 to dock with. The retainer 2 comprises a base plate 29 and side plates 30 symmetrically arranged on either side of the base plate 29. The center of the retainer 2 is hollowed out to form a movable area 31. The side plates 30 are provided with symmetrically arranged first mounting openings 32, and the base plate 29 is provided with symmetrically arranged second mounting openings 33.

[0043] The insulating member 3 is mounted within the retaining member 2 and comprises a fixed plate 34, a deformable plate 35, a contact plate 6, a compression plate 36, and a blocking plate 37. The fixed plate 34, the contact plate 6, and the deformable plate 35 are arranged perpendicular to each other, and the fixed plate 34 and the contact plate 6 are arranged parallel to each other. The contact plate 6 contacts the docking portion 27, and the contact plate 6, compression plate 36, and blocking plate 37 are positioned within the movable area 31 through a first mounting opening 32. A third mounting opening 38 is provided in the center of the fixed plate 34, which mates with the second mounting opening 33.

[0044] A notch 7 is provided in the middle of the extrusion plate 36, and an arcuate portion 8 is provided in the notch 7. The arcuate portion 8 connects the contact plate 6 and the blocking plate 37. The arcuate portion 8 is used to keep the insertion rod 5 from being squeezed by the insertion rod 5 after insertion, thereby deforming the arcuate portion 8. The deformed arcuate portion 8 exerts a reverse force on the insertion rod 5, thereby achieving a greater frictional force on the insertion rod 5 and preventing the plug 15 from falling out easily.

[0045] Symmetrical extension arms 39 are provided on either side of the third mounting opening 38. Each extension arm 39 is provided with a curved arm 40, which contacts the blocking plate 37. The extension arms 39 maintain the fixed plate 34 at the lower end of the second mounting opening 33, ensuring that the third mounting opening 38 and the second mounting opening 33 are aligned. The curved arms 40 also support the stressed blocking plate 37. During this support, a punched hole 41 is formed in the center of the extension arm 39, which contains a limiting arm 42. The lower end of the limiting arm 42 rests on the bottom plate 29. The pressure exerted on the curved arms 40 is transmitted to the limiting arms 42, which are then supported by the bottom plate 29. This prevents the blocking plate 37, the contact plate 6, and the curved portion 8 from being further depressed, thereby ensuring that the insertion rod 5 is subjected to a significant reverse force from the curved portion 8.

[0046] A deformation area 43 is formed between the contact plate 6 and the blocking plate 37. When the contact plate 6, the extrusion plate 36 and the blocking plate 37 are installed from the first mounting opening 32, the blocking plate 37 and the extrusion plate 36 need to be squeezed into the deformation area 43 first, so that the angle between the extrusion plate 36 and the contact plate 6 is less than 90°, and then the contact plate 6, the extrusion plate 36 and the blocking plate 37 are inserted into the first mounting opening 32.

[0047] A positioning groove 44 is provided on the side plate 30, and the end of the blocking plate 37 is placed in the positioning groove 44, so that after the arc portion 8 is pushed by the insertion rod 5, the end of the blocking plate 37 is kept in the positioning groove 44, thereby limiting the blocking plate 37 from being pushed further.

[0048] Under normal conditions, the symmetrically arranged extrusion plates 36 are in contact with each other. At this time, the width of the symmetrical notches 7 is smaller than the diameter of the insertion rod 5. Only after the insertion rod 5 is inserted, the insertion rod 5 is kept pushing the arc portion 8, and then the extrusion plates 36 are squeezed against each other, and the lower contact plate 6, the extrusion plate 36 and the blocking plate 37 are pressed down, the extrusion plates 36 are separated from the extrusion plates 36, and the end of the blocking plate 37 enters the positioning groove 44.

[0049] Conductive assembly 4 is installed inside housing 1. Conductive assembly 4 is provided at multiple locations around annular body 21. Conductive assembly 4 includes first electrical terminal 12, second electrical terminal 13, electrical post 45, elastic member 9, and fastener 46. First and second electrical terminals 12, 13 are installed perpendicularly and crosswise in diagonal slot 20. Electrical post 45 is disposed in sliding hole 23. One end of electrical post 45 contacts first and / or second electrical terminal 12, 13. Elastic member 9 is attached to the other end of electrical post 45 via fastener 46, and elastic member 9 contacts annular body 21.

[0050] Both ends of the first power terminal 12 and the second power terminal 13 are provided with vertically arranged contact portions 47. When the insertion rod 5 is inserted, the contact portion 47 is in contact with the power post 45. Only after the insertion of the insertion rod 5, the insertion rod 5 is kept pushing the fastener 46, so that the fastener 46 pushes the elastic member 9, and the elastic member 9 pushes the power post 45, so that the power post 45 contacts the contact portion 47. The elastic member 9 is deformed by the force, and the contact arm 48 is bent and lifted upward, so that the contact arm 48 contacts the insertion rod 5, thereby achieving power supply.

[0051] The ground terminal can be mounted on the annular body 21 and located between the two elastic members 9, but not in contact with the two elastic members 9. An insulating block can also be provided on the annular body 21 for isolation.

[0052] A bent section 49 is provided in the middle of the first power terminal 12, and a placement opening 50 is formed in the middle of the bent section 49 for placing the second power terminal 13. The placement opening 50 prevents contact between the first power terminal 12 and the second power terminal 13, which would otherwise cause contact between the "neutral wire" and the "live wire."

[0053] The insertion rod 5 of the plug 15 is inserted into the slot 28, and the insertion rod 5 is kept pushing the symmetrical contact plate 6 into the second installation port 33 and the third installation port 38, pushing the fastener 46 to keep the elastic member 9 deformed, and the power post 45 slides in the sliding hole 23, keeping the power post 45 in contact with the first power terminal 12 and / or the second power terminal 13 to be energized. The elastic member 9 is deformed under the pressure of the fastener 46, keeping both ends lifted up and in contact with the insertion rod 5 to be energized.

[0054] The fastener 46 is composed of a pushing portion 51 and a threaded portion 52. A threaded hole 53 is provided in the middle of the connecting post 45 to match the threaded portion 52. The fastener 46 is made of insulating material.

[0055] The elastic member 9 consists of a pressure-applying portion 54, a force-bearing portion 55, an elastic portion 56, and a contact arm 48. A through-hole 57 is located in the center of the pressure-applying portion 54 to accommodate the contact post 45. The pusher 51 is positioned on the pressure-applying portion 54, and the elastic member 9 is restrained outside the annular body 21 by a fastener 46. An elastic fulcrum 59 is formed between the elastic portion 56 and the contact arm 48. The elastic portion 56 is arc-shaped. A contact area 58 is formed between the contact arms 48.

[0056] like Figure 13As shown, before the fastener 46 is pushed by the external force F1, the elastic fulcrum 59 is located on the outer wall of the annular body 21. When the fastener 46 is pushed downward, the external force F1 on the pressure-applying portion 54 causes the pressure-applying portion 54 and the force-receiving portion 55 to press downward. At this time, the force-receiving portion 55 is in an inclined state with the outer wall of the annular body 21. When the force-receiving portion 55 contacts the outer wall of the annular body 21, the elastic portion 56 is forced to flip upward, thereby driving the contact arm 48 upward, so that the contact arm 48 contacts the insertion rod 5. At the same time, the contact arm 48 is provided with an arcuate surface 60 that cooperates with the insertion rod 5.

[0057] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
