These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way, but to illustrate the concepts of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0071] 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.

[0072] The terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only used to explain the embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used herein should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present disclosure belongs. The words "first", "second", "third" and similar words used in the patent application specification and claims of the present disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Similarly, words such as "one" or "one" do not indicate a quantity limit, but indicate that there is at least one. Words such as "include" or "include" mean that the elements or objects appearing in front of "include" or "include" include the elements or objects listed after "include" or "include" and their equivalents, and do not exclude other elements or objects. Words such as "connect" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0073] The present disclosure provides an adapter 01, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adapter 01 includes a socket body 1, a guide body 2, a power-taking arm 3 and a drive assembly 4. The guide body 2 is located on the side of the socket body 1 away from the plug-in surface 11 and is connected to the socket body 1, and there is a gap 10 between the guide body 2 and the socket body 1. The power-taking arm 3 includes a connected shaft body 31 and a contact arm 32, and the shaft body 31 is rotatably connected to the guide body 2. The drive assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the socket body 1 and is transmission-connected to the shaft body 31. The drive assembly 4 is used to drive the shaft body 31 to rotate so that the contact arm 32 is unfolded or retracted relative to the guide body 2.

[0074] The socket body 1 may be a columnar structure, and the socket body 1 has a plugging surface 11, which may be the top surface of the socket body 1. Functional components are arranged inside the socket body 1, and the functional components are electrically connected to the power-taking arm 3. The plugging surface 11 is provided with a socket, and the socket is used for inserting an external electrical appliance so that the plug of the external electrical appliance contacts the functional component, so that the external electrical appliance can take power through the adapter 01.

[0075] Among them, the adapter 01 is usually used in conjunction with the power rail 02. The top surface of the power rail 02 has a strip opening 021. The inside of the power rail 02 is provided with a conductive strip, which is electrically connected to an external power supply. The guide body 2 can extend into the inside of the power rail 02 through the strip opening 021. Accordingly, the power-taking arm 3 connected to the guide body 2 enters the inside of the power rail together. Subsequently, the drive assembly 4 drives the shaft 31 to rotate so that the contact arm 32 is unfolded relative to the guide body 2. When the contact arm 32 is unfolded relative to the guide body 2, the contact arm 32 can contact the conductive strip to keep the adapter 01 powered on. It is easy to understand that the drive assembly 4 can also drive the shaft 31 to rotate so that the contact arm 32 is stored relative to the guide body 2. When the contact arm 32 is stored relative to the guide body 2, the contact arm 32 does not contact the conductive strip, so that the electrical connection between the adapter 01 and the power rail 02 is disconnected. The user can pull the adapter 01 outward so that the guide body 2 extends out of the power rail 02, thereby separating the adapter 01 and the power rail 02.

[0076] The driving assembly 4 includes a plurality of components, and the driving assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the socket body 1, which means that the driving assembly 4 includes components rotatably connected to the socket body 1, rather than all components of the driving assembly 4 being rotatably connected to the socket body 1. The specific structure of each component in the driving assembly 4 will be described in detail below.

[0077] By adopting the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the user can rotate the drive assembly 4 to drive the contact arm 32 to expand relative to the guide body 2, thereby electrically connecting the adapter 01 to the power rail 02, or drive the contact arm 32 to be retracted relative to the guide body 2, thereby disconnecting the electrical connection between the two. Compared with the technical solution of using a toggle switch to drive the contact arm to expand or retract in the related art, the connection between the drive assembly 4 and the socket body 1 is a rotational connection, and driving the contact arm 32 by rotation is more ergonomic, and the user can grasp the drive assembly 4 more conveniently, thereby driving the contact arm 32 to expand or retract relative to the guide body 2 in a more labor-saving manner.

[0078] In some possible implementations, the operating member 41 in the driving assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the socket body 1 .

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, the driving assembly 4 includes an operating member 41 and a transmission assembly 42. The operating member 41 is rotatably connected to the socket body 1, and the transmission assembly 42 is connected to the socket body 1, and the transmission assembly 42 is respectively connected to the operating member 41 and the shaft body 31. The transmission assembly 42 can drive the shaft body 31 to rotate under the drive of the operating member 41, and the shaft body 31 rotates to drive the contact arm 32 to extend toward the guide body 2, or retract inside the guide body 2.

[0080] In one example, the operating member 41 has a hollow cylindrical structure. Figure 3 The socket body 1 may have a cylindrical structure, and the operating member 41 may have a hollow cylindrical structure.

[0081] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly 42 includes a slider 421 and a transmission member 422 .

[0082] The slider 421 is slidably connected to the socket body 1 and is transmission-connected to the operating member 41. The slider 421 can slide relative to the socket body 1 under the rotation drive of the operating member 41. The transmission member 422 is connected to the socket body 1, and the transmission member 422 is transmission-connected to the slider 421. The transmission member 422 can drive the shaft body 31 to rotate under the drive of the slider 421, so that the contact arm 32 is unfolded or retracted relative to the guide body 2.

[0083] In one example, if Figure 4 As shown, the transmission member 422 includes a seesaw structure 4221 , a lever 4222 and a telescopic member 4223 .

[0084] Specifically, see Figure 4 The seesaw structure 4221 is mounted outside the shaft body 31 and is fixedly connected to the shaft body 31. The two ends of the seesaw structure 4221 are located on both sides of the axis of the shaft body 31 and are tilted in the direction close to the lever 4222. The lever 4222 is rotatably connected to the socket body 1. The lever 4222 has two rods, and the connection position of the two rods is rotatably connected to the socket body 1. Figure 3 And refer to Figure 4 One rod portion of the lever 4222 is in transmission connection with the slider 421, the telescopic member 4223 is located at the other rod portion of the lever 4222, one end of the telescopic member 4223 is connected to the lever 4222, and the other end of the telescopic member 4223 abuts against the seesaw structure 4221. The telescopic member 4223 can push the seesaw structure 4221 to swing under the drive of the lever 4222, so that the seesaw structure 4221 drives the shaft 31 to rotate.

[0085] In implementation, see Figure 4 and Fig.11The socket body 1 has a slide groove 20, which extends in a direction perpendicular to the guide body 2. The slider 421 is arranged in the slide groove 20 and can slide in the slide groove 20. In the process of the slider 421 sliding toward the guide body 2, the lever 4222 rotates under the drive of the slider 421, so that the other end of the telescopic member 4223 gradually moves toward the end of the seesaw structure 4221 away from the slide groove 20. Correspondingly, in the process of the slider 421 sliding toward the guide body 2, the lever 4222 rotates under the drive of the slider 421, so that the other end of the telescopic member 4223 gradually moves toward the end of the seesaw structure 4221 close to the slide groove 20. In the movement of the telescopic member 4223, the other end of the telescopic member 4223 always resists the seesaw structure 4221 and applies a force to the seesaw structure 4221. Under the action of this force, the seesaw structure 4221 swings, thereby driving the shaft body 31 to rotate. It is not difficult to understand, see Figure 4 When the other end of the telescopic member 4223 moves to the end of the seesaw structure 4221 away from the slide groove 20, the contact arm 32 is retracted relative to the guide body 2. When the other end of the telescopic member 4223 moves to the end of the seesaw structure 4221 close to the slide groove 20, the contact arm 32 is unfolded relative to the guide body 2.

[0086] In one example, if Figure 5 As shown, the telescopic member 4223 includes an elastic member 42231 and a bullet structure 42232 .

[0087] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 The end of the lever 4222 not in contact with the slider 421 has a mounting groove 42220, and the elastic member 42231 is located in the mounting groove 42220. The bullet structure 42232 is located at the notch of the mounting groove 42220, one end of the bullet structure 42232 is connected to the elastic member 42231, and the other end of the bullet structure 42232 is against the seesaw structure 4221.

[0088] Exemplarily, the elastic member 42231 is a spring, which is disposed in the mounting groove 42220 and is always in a compressed state, thereby ensuring that the other end of the bullet structure 42232 can always be pressed against the seesaw structure 4221 under pressure.

[0089] Exemplarily, the operating member 41, the slider 421, the seesaw structure 4221, the lever 4222 and the bullet structure 42232 are all made of non-conductive materials, such as engineering plastics, and the processing technology of the operating member 41, the slider 421, the seesaw structure 4221, the lever 4222 and the bullet structure 42232 can all be injection molding. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the materials and processing technology of the operating member 41, the slider 421, the seesaw structure 4221, the lever 4222 and the bullet structure 42232.

[0090] Furthermore, when the user needs to drive the contact arm 32, the user can grasp the operating member 41 and apply a torque to the operating member 41, so that the operating member 41 rotates relative to the socket body 1 to drive the slider 421 to slide. The sliding of the slider 421 can drive the lever 4222 to rotate, thereby driving the seesaw structure 4221 to swing, and finally driving the shaft body 31 to rotate, thereby driving the contact arm 32.

[0091] In one example, the operating member 41 has a cylindrical structure, and the operating member 41 is sleeved outside the socket body 1. The operating member 41 can be a cylindrical structure, or the operating member 41 can be a square cylindrical structure, and the square cylindrical structure has a circular through hole arranged coaxially with the outer wall.

[0092] See also Figure 3 The socket body 1 includes a base 101 and a panel 102, and the operating member 41 can be respectively mounted on the base 101 and the panel 102. In this way, the user can directly grasp the outer wall of the operating member 41, thereby improving the convenience of operation of the driving assembly 4.

[0093] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the base 101 has a circular plate structure, and the side of the base 101 close to the panel 102 has a plurality of first mounting protrusions 1011, and the side of the panel 102 close to the base 101 has a plurality of second mounting protrusions 1021, and the top surface of the first mounting protrusion 1011 has a screw mounting hole, and the screw mounting hole is connected to the side wall of the base 101 away from the panel 102, and the top surface of the second mounting protrusion 1021 is provided with a threaded hole, and the threaded hole has an internal thread that matches the screw. The slider 421 and the transmission member 422 are respectively arranged on the base 101, and the slider 421 is slidably connected to the base 101, and the transmission member 422 is respectively connected to the base 101, the slider 421 and the shaft 31.

[0094] When assembling the driving assembly 4, the slider 421 and the transmission member 422 can be assembled to the base 101 respectively. Then, one end of the operating member 41 is mounted outside the base 101, so that the operating member 41 covers the slider 421 and the transmission member 422, and the operating member 41 is connected to the transmission member 422 in a transmission manner. Then, the panel 102 is assembled into the operating member 41, so that the other end of the operating member 41 is mounted outside the panel 102. Finally, screws are sequentially passed through the screw mounting holes inside the first mounting protrusion 1011 and the threaded holes inside the second mounting protrusion 1021, and the base 101 and the panel 102 are fastened and connected through threaded matching, completing the assembly process of the driving assembly 4.

[0095] In some examples, the operating member 41 and the slider 421 are transmitted via the guide groove 411 .

[0096] like Figure 6 As shown, the inner wall of the operating member 41 has a guide groove 411 which spirally extends along the rotation axis 410 of the operating member 41 . The slider 421 has a first protrusion structure 4211 which is located in the guide groove 411 and abuts against the groove wall of the guide groove 411 .

[0097] Specifically, the operating member 41 has a hollow cylindrical structure, and the guide groove 411 is located on the inner wall of the operating member 41. The extension line of the guide groove 411 is a part of a cylindrical helix, the radius of the cylindrical helix is ​​equal to the inner diameter of the operating member 41, and the axis of the cylindrical helix is ​​coaxial with the axis of the operating member 41.

[0098] like Figure 7 As shown ( Figure 7 4 is a half-section schematic diagram of the operating member. In the extension direction of the rotation axis 410, the guide groove 411 has two groove walls arranged oppositely. It is not difficult to understand that when the operating member 41 rotates along the first circumferential direction around the rotation axis 410, the above two groove walls will move along the first direction, and when the operating member 41 rotates along the second circumferential direction around the rotation axis 410, the above two groove walls will move along the second direction. The second circumferential direction is the opposite direction of the first circumferential direction, and the second direction is the opposite direction of the first direction. The first protruding structure 4211 is located in the guide groove 411. Therefore, in the process of the movement of the above two groove walls, there will always be a groove wall that abuts against the first protruding structure 4211 and applies a thrust to the first protruding structure 4211, and the thrust causes the slider 421 to slide relative to the base 101.

[0099] Specifically, the two groove walls of the guide groove 411 may be arranged in parallel, the first protrusion structure 4211 may be a cylindrical protrusion, and the diameter of the first protrusion structure 4211 may be slightly smaller than the distance between the two groove walls. In this way, the difficulty of assembling the slider 421 and the operating member 41 can be reduced.

[0100] See also Figure 6 , the guide groove 411 can be formed by two strip structures. Figure 6 As shown, the inner wall of the operating member 41 has two strip structures, which are arranged in parallel and respectively extend spirally around the rotation axis 410 of the operating member 41, and the gap between the two strip structures forms a guide groove 411. In this way, the difficulty of forming the guide groove 411 can be reduced.

[0101] Optionally, the guide groove 411 may be a one-way opening through groove. Figure 7 As shown, the guide groove 411 has an open end and a closed end ( Figure 7The right end of the middle guide groove 411 is open and the left end is closed). When the slider 421 and the operating member 41 are assembled, the first protrusion structure 4211 can be extended from the open end of the guide groove 411 into the interior of the guide groove 411, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the slider 421 and the operating member 41.

[0102] Optionally, the depth of the guide groove 411 may be greater than the height of the first protruding structure 4211. In this way, the first protruding structure 4211 may avoid contact with the bottom of the guide groove 411, thereby avoiding noise when the user rotates the operating member 41.

[0103] In some examples, the socket body 1 can limit the axial position of the operating member 41 .

[0104] like Fig.10 As shown, the outer wall of the base 101 has a second protruding structure 101a, and the outer wall of the panel 102 has a third protruding structure 102a, and the second protruding structure 101a and the third protruding structure 102a are distributed at intervals. The operating member 41 has a cylindrical structure, and the two ends of the operating member 41 are respectively sleeved on the outer wall of the base 101 and the outer wall of the panel 102, and the two ends of the operating member 41 are respectively against the third protruding structure 102a and the second protruding structure 101a. In this way, it can be prevented that the operating member 41 moves along the axial direction and separates from the socket body 1.

[0105] The base 101 and the panel 102 both have a circular plate structure, and the outer wall of the base 101 refers to the circumferential outer wall of the base 101, that is, the wall surface corresponding to the curved surface of the base 101. Similarly, the outer wall of the panel 102 refers to the circumferential outer wall of the panel 102, that is, the wall surface corresponding to the curved surface of the panel 102.

[0106] Exemplarily, the second protrusion structure 101a and the third protrusion structure 102a can be annular protrusions respectively, the base 101 and the panel 102 both have circular plate structures, the second protrusion structure 101a can be coaxially arranged with the base 101, and the third protrusion structure 102a can be coaxially arranged with the panel 102.

[0107] Optionally, the outer diameter of the second protrusion structure 101a can be equal to the outer diameter of the operating member 41, and the outer diameter of the third protrusion structure 102a can be equal to the outer diameter of the operating member 41. In this way, after the operating member 41, the panel 102 and the base 101 are assembled, the adapter 01 can be made to be a complete cylinder, which is more beautiful.

[0108] Of course, the second protrusion structure 101a and the third protrusion structure 102a may also be protrusions of other shapes, such as columnar protrusions. In the case where the second protrusion structure 101a and the third protrusion structure 102a are columnar protrusions, the number of both may be multiple. The multiple second protrusion structures 101a are all located on the side of the base 101 away from the panel 102, and the multiple second protrusion structures 101a are circumferentially spaced around the axis of the base 101. The multiple third protrusion structures 102a are all located on the side of the panel 102 away from the base 101, and the multiple third protrusion structures 102a are circumferentially spaced around the axis of the panel 102.

[0109] Optionally, two ends of the operating member 41 may be loosely matched with the second protrusion structure 101a and the third protrusion structure 102a, respectively. In this way, the rotational damping between the operating member 41 and the socket body 1 may be reduced, so that the user can rotate the operating member 41 with less effort.

[0110] In some possible embodiments, a gap 100 is provided between the base 101 and the panel 102 , and the gap 100 is used to axially limit the operating member 41 .

[0111] like Fig.10 As shown, the inner wall of the operating member 41 has a limiting structure 414, and the limiting structure 414 can be an annular protrusion structure. Figure 3 ,and Fig.10 The base 101 and the panel 102 are connected by a first mounting protrusion 1011 and a second mounting protrusion 1021. A gap 100 is provided between the plate body of the base 101 and the plate body of the panel 102. The gap 100 is used to accommodate the above-mentioned limiting structure 414. The two ends of the limiting structure 414 can respectively abut against the plate body of the base 101 and the plate body of the panel 102 to hinder the axial movement of the operating member 41.

[0112] In this way, by respectively providing limiting structures on the base 101 , the panel 102 and the operating member 41 , the load generated by the axial movement of the operating member 41 can be evenly distributed, thereby increasing the service life of the adapter 01 .

[0113] In some possible embodiments, the adapter 01 further includes a plurality of elastic arms 5 , and the elastic arms 5 are used to elastically connect the operating member 41 and the socket body 1 .

[0114] Specifically, see Figure 8 The adapter 01 includes a plurality of elastic arms 5 , one end of each elastic arm 5 is connected to the base 101 , and the other end of each elastic arm 5 abuts against the inner wall of the operating member 41 .

[0115] In one example, if Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of elastic arms 5 are circumferentially spaced apart and distributed around the rotation axis 410 of the operating member 41 .

[0116] In practice, the operating member 41 is mounted on the outside of the base 101 and can rotate relative to the base 101. Due to the influence of manufacturing tolerance, the inner diameter of the operating member 41 may be too large or too small. If the inner diameter of the operating member 41 is too small, it will be difficult for the operating member 41 to be mounted on the outside of the base 101. Even if the operating member 41 is mounted on the outside of the base 101, the rotation damping between the operating member 41 and the base 101 will be large, resulting in the user being unable to rotate the operating member 41 with less effort. If the inner diameter of the operating member 41 is too large, the operating member 41 can move relatively significantly relative to the base 101 in the radial direction, resulting in poor operational stability between the operating member 41 and the base 101.

[0117] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted, by providing a plurality of elastic arms 5 that are circumferentially spaced around the rotation axis 410. The end of the elastic arm 5 always abuts against the inner wall of the operating member 41, and the degree of deformation of the elastic arm 5 can change according to the inner diameter size of the operating member 41, that is, when the inner diameter of the operating member 41 may be too large, the elastic arm can undergo a smaller elastic deformation, and when the inner diameter of the operating member 41 may be too small, the elastic arm can undergo a larger elastic deformation. In this way, through the elastic deformation of the elastic arm 5, the manufacturing tolerance of the operating member 41 can be compensated, thereby improving the processing yield rate of the adapter 01.

[0118] For some examples, see Fig.10 The elastic arm 5 is located in the gap 100 between the base 101 and the panel 102. The inner wall of the operating member 41 has a limiting structure 414. The limiting structure 414 is an annular protrusion structure. The suspended end of the elastic arm 5 is against the annular protrusion structure. In this way, the space utilization inside the adapter 01 can be improved, making the structure of the adapter 01 more compact.

[0119] Optionally, the elastic arm 5 includes an elastic plate and an abutment protrusion, one end of the elastic plate is connected to the base 101, and the other end is suspended, and the abutment protrusion is located on the side of the elastic plate close to the axis and connected to the end of the elastic plate.

[0120] Optionally, the elastic arm 5 and the socket body 1 may be integrally formed, and specifically, the elastic arm 5 may be integrally formed with the base 101. In this way, the connection stability between the elastic arm 5 and the base 101 may be improved.

[0121] In some examples, the inner wall of the operating member 41 has a first positioning groove 412 and a second positioning groove 413, and the first positioning groove 412 and the second positioning groove 413 are circumferentially spaced apart. The first positioning groove 412 or the second positioning groove 413 can accommodate the other end of an elastic arm 5 to limit the rotation of the operating member 41.

[0122] When the operating member 41 rotates to the point where the suspended end is located in the first positioning groove 412, the contact arm 32 is unfolded relative to the guide body 2, and when the operating member 41 rotates to the point where the suspended end is located in the second positioning groove 413, the contact arm 32 is retracted relative to the guide body 2. The first positioning groove 412 and the second positioning groove 413 restrict the rotation of the operating member 41, which means that when the elastic arm 5 is located in the first positioning groove 412 or the second positioning groove 413, the first positioning groove 412 or the second positioning groove 413 has an obstructive effect on the rotation of the operating member 41. It does not mean that the operating member 41 cannot rotate because the elastic arm 5 is limited by the first positioning groove 412 or the second positioning groove 413.

[0123] In this way, by providing the first positioning groove 412 and the second positioning groove 413 , the elastic arm 5 can be limited, thereby achieving circumferential limitation of the operating member 41 , so that the contact arm 32 can be stably unfolded or retracted relative to the guide body 2 .

[0124] In one example, see Fig. 9 The first positioning groove 412 and the second positioning groove 413 can be arranged on the inner side wall of the limiting structure 414. The limiting structure 414 is an annular protrusion and is coaxially arranged with the rotation axis of the operating member 41.

[0125] In an example, the first positioning groove 412 and the second positioning groove 413 can be formed by two parallel strip structures. Fig. 9 The inner wall of the limiting structure 414 has four strip structures, each of which extends along the rotation axis 410, and there is a gap between two adjacent strip structures, which forms the first positioning groove 412 and the second positioning groove 413. In this way, the processing difficulty of the first positioning groove 412 and the second positioning groove 413 can be reduced.

[0126] In some possible embodiments, the rotatable angle between the operating member 41 and the socket body 1 is greater than 15° and less than 45°.

[0127] In one example, the extension line of the first positioning groove 412 is parallel to the rotation axis 410 of the operating member 41, the extension line of the second positioning groove 413 is parallel to the rotation axis 410 of the operating member 41, the extension line of the first positioning groove 412 and the rotation axis 410 of the operating member 41 form a first plane, the extension line of the second positioning groove 413 and the rotation axis 410 of the operating member 41 form a second plane, and the angle between the first plane and the second plane has a value range greater than 15° and less than 45°.

[0128] In this way, the rotatable angle between the operating member 41 and the socket body 1 is adapted to the range of motion of the wrist, and the user can easily rotate the operating member 41 to expand or retract the contact arm 32 .

[0129] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes at least the following beneficial effects:

[0130] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an adapter 01, which includes a socket body 1, a guide body 2, a power-taking arm 3, and a drive assembly 4. The guide body 2 is located on the side of the socket body 1 away from the plug-in surface 11, and is connected to the socket body 1. The guide body 2 is used to extend into the power rail 02 in a direction parallel to the plug-in surface 11. The power-taking arm 3 includes a connected shaft body 31 and a contact arm 32, the shaft body 31 is rotatably connected to the guide body 2, and the contact arm 32 is used to contact the conductive strip of the power rail 02. The drive assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the socket body 1 and is transmission-connected to the shaft body 31. The drive assembly 4 is used to drive the shaft body 31 to rotate so that the contact arm 32 is unfolded or retracted relative to the guide body 2. In this way, the user can rotate the drive assembly 4 to drive the contact arm 32 to unfold relative to the guide body 2, thereby electrically connecting the adapter 01 to the power rail 02, or drive the contact arm 32 to retract relative to the guide body 2, thereby disconnecting the electrical connection between the two. Compared with the technical solution of using a toggle switch to drive the contact arm to expand or retract in the related art, the connection between the drive component 4 and the socket body 1 is a rotational connection. Driving the contact arm 32 by rotation is more ergonomic, and the user can grasp the drive component 4 more conveniently, thereby driving the contact arm 32 to expand or retract relative to the guide body 2 in a more labor-saving manner.

[0131] The present disclosure also provides a track socket, such as Figure 1 As shown, the track socket includes the above-mentioned adapter 01 and the power track 02 .

[0132] The power rail 02 can be fixed to a wall, or the power rail 02 can be fixed to a table. Figure 1 The guide body 2 is located on the side of the socket body 1 away from the plug-in surface 11 and is connected to the socket body 1. The guide body 2 is used to extend into the power rail 02 in a direction parallel to the plug-in surface 11. The adapter 01 is a side-insertion adapter, that is, when the guide body 2 extends into the inside of the power rail, the adapter 01 is located on the side wall of the power rail, rather than on the top where the strip opening 021 is located.

[0133] 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 principles of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
