Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sockets, and in particular to an adapter and a track socket. Background Art

[0002] The existing adapter and track socket, see Chinese invention patent CN111786185B, name: adapter and track socket, authorization announcement date: November 02, 2021, which discloses an adapter and a track socket, the adapter includes an adapter body and a control part, the adapter body includes a socket body, a guide body and a moving conductive sheet; the guide body is located on the side of the socket body facing away from the socket, and is fixedly connected to the socket body; the moving conductive sheet is connected to the control part; the control part is used to control the expansion and storage of the moving conductive sheet relative to the guide body; using the adapter provided in the embodiment of the present application, when it is necessary to slide the adapter on the track, the control part can be operated to control the moving conductive sheet to be stored relative to the guide body, so that the moving conductive sheet is separated from the track conductive sheet, and then the adapter is slid, thereby realizing the non-electrical sliding of the adapter in the track.

[0003] A connecting groove with a track conductive sheet is provided in the track. After the movable conductive sheet of the adapter is opened, it extends into the connecting groove and abuts against the track conductive sheet to achieve electrical connection. In order to enable the movable conductive sheet to extend stably into the connecting groove, the height of the connecting groove is made larger so that there is a larger gap between the movable conductive sheet and the connecting groove.

[0004] However, the adapter of the above structure still has the following shortcomings: (1) Since the connection between the plug of the electrical device and the adapter is relatively firm, when the user unplugs the plug of the electrical device, the adapter will be driven upward, causing the movable conductive sheet of the adapter to collide with the upper end of the connecting slot. In addition, during the movement of the adapter, it is easy to cause the connection between the movable conductive sheet of the adapter and the track conductive sheet in the connecting slot to be unstable. The friction between the movable conductive sheet of the adapter and the track conductive sheet in the connecting slot generates an instantaneous arc, which poses a certain safety hazard. After long-term use, this will damage the movable conductive sheet and the track conductive sheet, reducing the life of the movable conductive sheet and the track conductive sheet. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art and to provide an adapter with an additional limit stopper to reduce the movement of the adapter, thereby stabilizing the electrical connection of the moving conductive component and increasing the service life of the moving conductive component.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a track socket comprising the above adapter.

[0007] The object of the present invention is achieved in that: An adapter comprises a socket body and a guide seat, wherein the socket body is placed on the guide seat, and a socket assembly, a rotatable movable conductive assembly and a rotating member are arranged on the socket body, wherein the socket assembly and the movable conductive assembly are electrically connected, and wherein a rotatable limit stopper is further arranged on the socket body, and when the rotating member rotates, the limit stopper and the movable conductive assembly are driven to expand or retract relative to the guide seat; this adapter, by adding a limit stopper, enables the limit stopper to cooperate with a corresponding limit structure on the power rail when the adapter is installed on the power rail, so as to reduce or limit the movement of the adapter generated when the plug is unplugged, that is, to reduce or limit the movement of the movable conductive assembly, and reduce the instantaneous arc generated by friction between the movable conductive assembly and the track conductive sheet assembly of the power rail, which is beneficial to the electrical connection stability of the movable conductive assembly and the improvement of the service life of the movable conductive assembly.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention can also be solved by the following technical measures: Specifically, the dynamic conductive component is respectively connected to the rotating part and the limit blocking part in transmission connection; so that the rotating part drives the dynamic conductive component to rotate while also driving the limit blocking part to move through the dynamic conductive component. There is no need to separately set the transmission limit blocking part structure on the rotating part. The structure is simple and the implementation effect is good.

[0009] Specifically, the dynamic conductive component includes an L-pole conductive rod, an N-pole conductive rod, a first gear member fixed on the L-pole conductive rod, and a second gear member arranged on the N-pole conductive rod. The limit blocking member includes a blocking rod and a third gear member arranged on the blocking rod. The rotating member is sleeved on the outer periphery of the socket body and teeth are respectively arranged on the rotating member corresponding to the first gear member position and the second gear member position. The first gear member is meshed with the third gear member. The lower end of the L-pole conductive rod, the lower end of the N-pole conductive rod and the lower end of the blocking rod all extend downward out of the socket body; so that the lower end of the L-pole conductive rod, the lower end of the N-pole conductive rod and the lower end of the blocking rod extend to the guide seat. Furthermore, the tooth portion is meshed with the gear member for transmission and the gear members are meshed with each other for transmission. The structure is simple and the transmission effect is good.

[0010] Specifically, a blocking head is arranged at the lower end of the blocking rod and both sides of the blocking head extend out of the outer circumference of the blocking rod respectively; a placement recess and a first receiving recess are arranged on the guide seat; the lower end of the blocking rod passes downward through the placement recess and extends into the first receiving recess, and the third gear part extends into the placement recess; the placement recess provides a stable working space for the third gear part, and the first receiving recess provides a stable working space for the lower end of the blocking rod, which is beneficial to the stable operation of the third gear part and the blocking rod; furthermore, both sides of the blocking head extending out of the outer circumference of the blocking rod can cooperate with the power rail to form a limit blocking for the adapter, and the limit blocking effect is better.

[0011] Specifically, an elastic reset member and an elastic locking mechanism are arranged between the socket body and the rotating member. When the rotating member drives the limit blocking member and the moving conductive component to expand relative to the guide seat, the elastic reset member is in a stretched state and the elastic locking mechanism is in a locked state; the elastic locking mechanism can realize relative locking and relative unlocking between the socket body and the rotating member. When the rotating member is reset, the elastic reset member can provide a reset force for the rotating member, thereby facilitating the rotational reset of the rotating member.

[0012] Specifically, the elastic locking mechanism includes an elastic stopper, a locking member and an elastic unlocking member. The elastic stopper is fixed to the socket body in an elastically movable manner, the elastic unlocking member is arranged on the rotating member in an elastically movable manner, the locking member is fixed on the rotating member and the locking member is located on one side of the elastic unlocking member; when the rotating member drives the limit blocking member and the moving conductive component to expand relative to the guide seat, the locking member and the elastic stopper are against each other and the elastic unlocking member is close to the elastic stopper; when unlocking, it is only necessary to press the elastic unlocking member, and the elastic unlocking member pushes the elastic stopper to rotate, so that the elastic stopper is disengaged from the locking member. At this time, the rotating member can be rotated and reset under the reset force of the elastic reset member, and its operation is simple and convenient.

[0013] Specifically, the elastic block includes a block and a first spring. One end of the block is rotatably arranged on the socket body, and the two ends of the first spring are respectively against the other end of the block and the socket body; so as to realize the elastic movement of the block on the socket body. Its structure is simple and can well achieve the elastic blocking effect.

[0014] Specifically, the elastic unlocking member includes an unlocking key and a second spring, the unlocking key is clamped on the rotating member and the two ends of the second spring are respectively against the unlocking key and the rotating member, one end of the unlocking key extends into the inner side of the rotating member, and a locking block is arranged on the inner side of the rotating member near one end of the unlocking key, and the locking block constitutes the locking member; when the rotating member drives the limit blocking member and the moving conductive component to expand relative to the guide seat, the locking block is against the other end of the block, so that the rotating member is locked by the block, thereby keeping the rotating member, the limit blocking member and the moving conductive component stably in the expanded state.

[0015] Another object of the present invention is achieved like this: A track socket including the above adapter is characterized in that it also includes an electric track, a slide groove is provided on the electric track for the lower part of the guide seat to slide, a conductive space and a limit space connected to the slide groove are opened in the electric track, a track conductive sheet assembly is arranged in the conductive space, when the rotating member rotates to drive the limit blocking member and the movable conductive assembly to expand relative to the guide seat, the movable conductive assembly extends into the conductive space and abuts against the track conductive sheet assembly, and the limit blocking member extends into the limit space; this track socket reduces or limits the movement of the adapter generated when the plug is unplugged through the cooperation of the limit blocking member and the limit space, that is, reduces or limits the movement of the movable conductive assembly, reduces the instantaneous arc between the movable conductive assembly and the track conductive sheet assembly, and ensures the service life of the movable conductive assembly and the track conductive sheet assembly.

[0016] Specifically, silicone baffles are respectively arranged at both ends of the power rail located at the top of the slide, and the corresponding ends of the two silicone baffles are abutted against each other, and the two silicone baffles close the upper opening of the slide; the two silicone baffles can effectively prevent the external environment (external water vapor and dust, etc.) from entering the conductive space inside the power rail, thereby improving the service life of the track conductive sheet assembly.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) This adapter is provided with a limit stopper so that when the adapter is installed on the power rail, the limit stopper can cooperate with the corresponding limit structure on the power rail to reduce or limit the movement of the adapter when the plug is unplugged, that is, to reduce or limit the movement of the moving conductive component and reduce the instantaneous arc generated by friction between the moving conductive component and the track conductive sheet component of the power rail, which is beneficial to the stability of the electrical connection of the moving conductive component and improve the service life of the moving conductive component.

[0018] (2) The placement recess provides a stable working space for the third gear member, and the first receiving recess provides a stable working space for the lower end of the blocking rod, which is conducive to the stable operation of the third gear member and the blocking rod. Furthermore, both sides of the blocking head extending out of the outer periphery of the blocking rod can cooperate with the power rail to form a limit blocking for the adapter, and its limit blocking effect is better.

[0019] (3) When the rotating member drives the limit blocking member and the moving conductive component to expand relative to the guide seat, the locking member and the elastic blocking member are in abutment with each other and the elastic unlocking member and the elastic blocking member are close to each other; when unlocking, it is only necessary to press the elastic unlocking member, and the elastic unlocking member pushes the elastic blocking member to rotate, so that the elastic blocking member and the locking member are disengaged. At this time, the rotating member can be rotated and reset under the reset force of the elastic reset member, and the operation is simple and convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
