DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0076] 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.
[0077] 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.

When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.
[0078] The present disclosure provides an adapter 100, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the adapter 100 includes a socket body 1, a connector 2, a power extraction body 3, a locking member 4 and an operating member 5. The connector 2 is connected to the side of the socket body 1 facing away from the plug-in surface 1a, the power extraction body 3 is connected to the connector 2, and there is a gap between the socket body 1 and the power extraction body 3. The power extraction body 3 is used to extend into the track 200, and the gap is used to accommodate the side wall of the track 200. The locking member 4 is at least partially located on the power extraction body 3, and the locking member 4 is used to engage with the track 200. The operating member 5 is located on the connector 2, and the operating member 5 is used to control the locking member 4 to engage or release the track 200.
[0079] The track 200 has a conductive strip inside, which can be connected to an external power source (such as a mains), and the power collector 3 has a conductive sheet. The track 200 has an opening for the power collector 3 of the adapter 100 to be inserted into, and after the power collector 3 is inserted into the opening of the track 200, the conductive sheet can contact the conductive strip, so that the power collector 3 can draw electricity from the track 200.
[0080] The socket body 1 can be circular or rectangular. The plug-in surface 1 a has a plug hole for plugging into a socket of an electrical appliance, so that the electrical appliance can obtain electricity through the adapter 100 .
[0081] According to the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the electrical appliance needs to draw power from the adapter 100, the power drawing body 3 of the adapter 100 is inserted into the track 200. Since the locking member 4 of the adapter 100 can be engaged with the track 200, the adapter 100 can be prevented from falling off the track 200, thereby ensuring the stability of power drawing. When the electrical appliance no longer needs to draw power from the adapter 100, the operating member 5 can control the locking member 4 to release the engagement with the track 200, and then pull the adapter 100 out of the track 200. In this way, not only can the adapter be smoothly plugged in and out, but also the stability of the adapter when drawing power can be ensured.
[0082] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the power take-off body 3 has a first opening 30 on one side facing or facing away from the socket body 1. The locking member 4 has a buckle 4a, which is used to extend out of the first opening 30 to engage with the track 200. The operating member 5 is used to control the buckle 4a to extend or retract into the first opening 30.
[0083] The track 200 has a snap-in slot, and the buckle 4a can extend into the snap-in slot after extending out of the first opening 30, so as to snap-in with the track 200. The buckle 4a can move out of the snap-in slot after retracting into the first opening 30, so as to snap-in with the track 200.
[0084] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connector 2 includes a connector body 201, a bracket 202 and a cover plate 203, and the connector body 201 is connected to the power collector 3. The bracket 202 is located between the connector body 201 and the cover plate 203, and the operating member 5 is located between the bracket 202 and the cover plate 203. Among them, the bracket 202 is used to fix components such as conductive sheets. The cover plate 203 and the connector body 201 can be fixed together by snapping, and the cover plate 203 and the connector body 201 can limit the bracket 202 and the operating member 5.
[0085] The socket body 1 has a mounting hole 10 on one side facing the power collecting body 3. After the connector 2 and the operating member 5 are assembled, a portion of them extends into the socket body 1 through the mounting hole 10, so that the connector 2 and the socket body 1 are fixedly connected.
[0086] Exemplarily, the cover plate 203 is arc-shaped, and the curvature of the cover plate 203 may be the same as the curvature of the socket body 1 , thereby improving the aesthetics of the adapter 1 .
[0087] The operating member 5 includes a plate 51 and a button 52. The cover plate 203 has a through hole. The plate 51 is located between the bracket 202 and the cover plate 203, and the button 52 passes through the through hole. When the user presses the button 52, the plate 51 can drive the locking member 4 to move.
[0088] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the operating member 5 is used to press the locking member 4 in a direction close to the power collecting body 3, thereby driving the buckle 4a to retract into the first opening 30. This operation is relatively simple and convenient for users to operate.
[0089] When the adapter 100 is inserted into the track 200, it is necessary to ensure that the buckle 4a is always engaged with the track 200. To this end, in some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the adapter 100 further includes a first elastic member 6. The locking member 4 is at least partially located in the connecting body 2, one end of the first elastic member 6 abuts against the locking member 4, and the other end abuts against the connecting body 2, and the first elastic member 6 is used to drive the buckle 4a to extend out of the first opening 30. It can be understood that the first elastic member 6 is always in a compressed state, so the first elastic member 6 can always apply a force to the locking member 4, thereby preventing the buckle 4a from being separated from the first opening 30.
[0090] When the user presses the operating member 5, the first elastic member 6 is further compressed. At this time, the locking member 4 is subjected to a greater force from the operating member 5, so that the buckle 4a retracts into the first opening 30. When the user does not press the operating member 5, the locking member 4 is subjected to a greater force from the first elastic member 6, and the first elastic member 6 pushes the locking member 4 to reset, so that the buckle 4a extends out of the first opening 30. At the same time, under the push of the locking member 4, the operating member 5 can also be reset.
[0091] Exemplarily, the first elastic member 6 may be a spring. Alternatively, the first elastic member 6 may also be rubber or the like.
[0092] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, the side of the buckle 4a facing away from the connector 2 is inclined, so that the height of the buckle 4a gradually decreases along the plugging direction of the adapter 100. During the process of inserting the adapter 100 into the track 200, the user does not need to press the operating member 5, and the inclined surface of the buckle 4a abuts against the track 200. Under the pressure of the track 200, the buckle 4a retracts toward the first opening 30. When the buckle 4a is opposite to the clamping groove on the track 200, the buckle 4a is no longer under the pressure of the track 200. Under the pressure of the first elastic member 6, the locking member 4 moves the buckle 4a out of the first opening 30.
[0093] In some examples, such as Figure 4As shown, the connecting body 2 has a through hole 20, which is connected to the first opening 30, and the locking member 4 passes through the through hole 20. A part of the locking member 4 is located in the power taking body 3, and another part is located in the connecting body 2. The operating member 5 abuts against the part of the locking member 4 located in the connecting body 2.
[0094] Alternatively, in some other examples, the locking member 4 may also be completely located in the power collecting body 3 . A portion of the operating member 5 extends into the power collecting body 3 through the through hole 20 of the connecting body 2 , thereby abutting against the locking member 4 .
[0095] Next, an exemplary description is given of the implementation manner in which the operating member 5 controls the movement of the locking member 4 .
[0096] (1) The operating member 5 drives the locking member 4 to slide
[0097] In some examples, the locking member 4 is slidably connected to the power collecting body 3. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking member 4 has a first guide surface 4b, and the operating member 5 has a second guide surface 5a, and the first guide surface 4b and the second guide surface 5a are in contact with each other. The operating member 5 is used to press the locking member 4 to slide in a direction away from or close to the socket body 1. The first guide surface 4b and the second guide surface 5a can both be inclined surfaces, so that when the first guide surface 4b is pushed by the second guide surface 5a, the locking member 4 can slide along the first guide surface 4b.
[0098] When the operating member 5 presses the locking member 4, the second guide surface 5a slides in a direction close to the power collecting body 3. Under the pressure of the second guide surface 5a, the first guide surface 4b slides relative to the second guide surface 5a ( Figure 4 The dashed arrow is the pressing direction of the operating member 5, and the solid arrow is the sliding direction of the locking member 4). It can be understood that the sliding directions of the first guide surface 4b and the second guide surface 5a are perpendicular to each other, so that the locking member 4 slides in a direction away from or close to the socket body 1.
[0099] When the operating member 5 no longer presses the locking member 4, the first elastic member 6 pushes the locking member 4 to reset. Under the pressure of the first guide surface 4b, the second guide surface 5a slides in a direction away from the power collecting body 3, so that the operating member 5 is reset.
[0100] In some examples, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the buckle 4a is located on the side of the locking member 4 away from the socket body 1. The first guide surface 4b faces away from the socket body 1, and the second guide surface 5a faces the socket body 1. The operating member 5 is used to drive the locking member 4 to slide in a direction close to the socket body 1.
[0101] When the operating member 5 no longer presses the locking member 4 , the first elastic member 6 drives the locking member 4 to slide in a direction away from the socket body 1 .
[0102] During the process of inserting the adapter 100 into the track 200, the user does not need to press the operating member 5, and the inclined surface of the buckle 4a abuts against the track 200. Under the pressure of the track 200, the buckle 4a gradually slides in the direction close to the socket body 1 until the buckle 4a retracts into the first opening 30, so that the adapter 100 can be smoothly inserted into the track 200. When the buckle 4a is opposite to the engaging groove on the track 200, the buckle 4a is no longer subjected to the pressure of the track 200. Under the pressure of the first elastic member 6, the locking member 4 moves in the direction away from the socket body 1, so that the buckle 4a extends into the engaging groove of the track 200.
[0103] In some examples, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connector 2 has a groove 21 on one side away from the power collector 3, a portion of the locking member 4 is located in the groove 21, and the through hole 20 passes through the groove 21. The two ends of the first elastic member 6 are respectively against the inner wall of the groove 21 and the locking member 4, and the first elastic member 6 is used to drive the locking member 4 to slide in a direction away from the socket body 1. The groove 21 is located in the connector body 201.
[0104] In some examples, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking member 4 includes a first transmission part 4d and a second transmission part 4e, the first transmission part 4d is located on the side of the operating member 5 facing the power collecting body 3, and the second transmission part 4e passes through the through hole 20. It can be understood that when the operating member 5 presses the locking member 4, the side of the second transmission part 4e facing away from the buckle 4a cannot protrude relative to the power collecting body 3, thereby ensuring that the adapter 100 can be smoothly pulled out of the track 200. Therefore, the thickness of the second transmission part 4e should be less than the thickness of the power collecting body 3, so that the power collecting body 3 can provide sufficient sliding space for the second transmission part 4e. However, the first guide surface 4b needs to be thicker, so as to ensure that the first guide surface 4b always abuts against the second guide surface 5a during the sliding process of the locking member 4. For this reason, the first transmission part 4d and the second transmission part 4e are arranged in a bent arrangement, and the first transmission part 4d extends relative to the second transmission part 4e in a direction close to the socket body 1. The first transmission part 4d has a protrusion on the side facing the operating member 5, and the first guide surface 4b is located on the protrusion. In this way, the thickness of the second transmission part 4e can be ensured to be small, and the first guide surface 4b can always fit with the second guide surface 5a.
[0105] The through hole 20 can also limit the second transmission part 4e. When the operating member 5 applies a large force to the locking member 4, the inner wall of the through hole 20 can prevent the second transmission part 4e from sliding too far, thereby preventing the first transmission part 4d from extending out of the power collecting body 3. Similarly, the groove 21 can limit the first transmission part 4d. A portion of the first transmission part 4d is located between the protrusion and the inner wall of the groove 21, which can prevent the second transmission part 4e from sliding too far.
[0106] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the end of the protrusion facing the socket body has a limiting column, and the first elastic member 6 is sleeved around the limiting column, thereby preventing the first elastic member 6 from separating from the locking member 4.
[0107] In some other examples, the first transmission part 4d and the second transmission part 4e may also be arranged in a straight line. The first guide surface 4b is located at an end of the first transmission part 4d away from the buckle 4a.
[0108] When the locking member 4 is engaged with the track 200, if the buckle 4a is pressed by the track 200, the locking member 4 may rotate, causing the buckle 4a to retract into the first opening 30, thereby releasing the engagement between the adapter 100 and the track 200. This may cause an unstable connection between the adapter 100 and the track 200. Therefore, in some examples, such as Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the power taking body 3 also has a second opening 31. The locking member 4 has a limiting protrusion 4c on the side facing away from the socket body 1. The limiting protrusion 4c is located between the buckle 4a and the operating member 5. The limiting protrusion 4c is used to engage with the second opening 31. In this way, even if the buckle 4a tends to rotate due to the pressure of the track 200, the limiting protrusion 4c will prevent the locking member 4 from rotating.
[0109] It should be noted that when the adapter 100 is engaged with the track 200, the limiting protrusion 4c does not extend from the second opening 31, that is, the limiting protrusion 4c does not engage with or abut against the track 200. Therefore, the limiting protrusion 4c does not affect the insertion or removal of the adapter 100 from the track 200.
[0110] Of course, in other examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, the buckle 4a can also be located on the side of the locking member 4 facing the socket body 1. Then the first guide surface 4b faces the socket body 1, and the second guide surface 5a faces away from the socket body 1. The operating member 5 is used to drive the locking member 4 to slide in a direction away from the socket body 1 ( Figure 7 The dashed arrow indicates the pressing direction of the operating member 5 , and the solid arrow indicates the sliding direction of the locking member 4 ).
[0111] When the operating member 5 no longer presses the locking member 4 , the first elastic member 6 drives the locking member 4 to slide in a direction away from the socket body 1 .
[0112] (2) The operating member 5 drives the buckle 4a to rotate in a direction away from the socket body 1.
[0113] In some examples, the locking member 4 is rotatably connected to the power collecting body 3. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the operating member 5 and the first elastic member 6 both abut against one end of the locking member 4 close to the socket body 1, and the locking member 4 is at least partially located between the operating member 5 and the first elastic member 6. The operating member 5 is used to press the buckle 4a to rotate in a direction away from or close to the socket body 1.
[0114] When the operating member 5 presses the locking member 4, the end of the locking member 4 away from the buckle 4a rotates in a direction close to the power collecting body 3, and the buckle 4a rotates in a direction away from the socket body 1. The buckle 4a retracts into the first opening 30, thereby releasing the engagement between the locking member 4 and the track 200, so that the adapter 100 can be pulled out of the track 200 ( Fig. 9 The dotted arrow in the figure is the force direction of the locking member 4, and the solid arrow is the rotation direction of the locking member 4).
[0115] When the operating member 5 no longer presses the locking member 4, the first elastic member 6 drives the end of the locking member 4 away from the buckle 4a to rotate in a direction away from the power collecting body 3, and the buckle 4a rotates in a direction close to the socket body 1. The buckle 4a extends out of the first opening 30, so that the locking member 4 and the track 200 are engaged.
[0116] The direction of the force applied by the operating member 5 to the locking member 4 is along the pressing direction. If the locking member 4 is in a straight line as a whole and extends along the pressing direction of the operating member 5, the operating member 5 cannot drive the locking member 4 to rotate. Therefore, the rotation axis of the locking member 4 needs to be set to deviate from the pressing direction of the operating member 5 so that the locking member 4 can rotate.
[0117] Therefore, in some examples, such as Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the locking member 4 includes a first rod 41 and a second rod 42 arranged in a bent manner, and the first rod 41 and the buckle 4a are located on the side of the second rod 42 facing the socket body 1. Since both sides of the power-collecting body 3 are the side walls of the track 200, in order to avoid interference between the first rod 41 and the track 200, the first rod 41 needs to be arranged on the connecting body 2. The connecting body 2 has a through hole 20, and the second rod 42 passes through the through hole 20. The first rod 41 is located inside the connecting body 2 and on the side of the operating member 5 facing the power-collecting body 3.
[0118] It is understandable that, since the second rod 42 needs to be driven to rotate, if the operating member 5 abuts against the end of the first rod 41 close to the second rod 42, it is difficult for the operating member 5 to drive the second rod 42 to rotate. Therefore, the operating member 5 is set to abut against the end of the first rod 41 close to the socket body 1, and the first rod 41 or the second rod 42 is rotatably connected to the connecting body 2. When the operating member 5 presses the first rod 41, the first rod 41 rotates, thereby driving the second rod 42 to rotate, so that the buckle 4a moves in a direction away from the socket body 1.
[0119] Correspondingly, the first elastic member 6 is located on the side of the first rod body 41 facing the second rod body 42, and the two ends of the first elastic member 6 are respectively against the connecting body 2 and the first rod body 41. The first elastic member 6 is used to drive the first rod body 41 to rotate in the direction close to the operating member 5, so that the buckle 4a moves in the direction close to the socket body 1.
[0120] During the process of inserting the adapter 100 into the track 200, the user does not need to press the operating member 5, and the inclined surface of the buckle 4a is against the track 200. Under the pressure of the track 200, the buckle 4a gradually rotates in the direction away from the socket body 1, and at the same time, the second rod body 42 rotates in the direction close to the power collecting body 3 until the buckle 4a retracts into the first opening 30, so that the adapter 100 can be smoothly inserted into the track 200. When the buckle 4a is opposite to the snap-in groove on the track 200, the buckle 4a is no longer under the pressure of the track 200. Under the pressure of the first elastic member 6, the second rod body 42 rotates in the direction away from the power collecting body 3, thereby driving the buckle 4a to rotate in the direction close to the socket body 1, so that the buckle 4a extends into the snap-in groove of the track 200.
[0121] For example, Fig.10 As shown, the connecting body 2 has a receiving groove 22, and the first rod body 41 is located in the receiving groove 22. The side wall of the receiving groove 22 has a through hole, and the first rod body 41 has a rotating shaft on the side facing the socket body 1, and the rotating shaft and the through hole are hinged.
[0122] In some examples, the first rod 41 has a positioning column on one side facing the power collecting body 3, and the first elastic member 6 is looped around the positioning column. The connector 2 has a limiting groove on one side facing the first rod 41, and the first elastic member 6 is located in the limiting groove. In this way, the first elastic member 6 can be prevented from being offset, ensuring that both ends of the first elastic member 6 always abut against the connector 2 and the first rod 41.
[0123] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first opening 30 is a groove, and the buckle 4a is located between the bottom wall of the groove and the socket body 1. The bottom wall of the groove can limit the buckle 4a, preventing the buckle 4a from extending from the first opening 30 when the operating member 5 presses the locking member 4.
[0124] Alternatively, in other examples, the first rod body 41 and the second rod body 42 may also be arranged in a straight line. That is, the locking member 4 is rod-shaped as a whole, and the rod body of the locking member 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting body 2. The length direction of the locking member 4 forms an angle with the pressing direction of the operating member 5, and the operating member 5 abuts against one end of the locking member 4 away from the buckle 4a, thereby driving the locking member 4 to rotate.
[0125] In other examples, such as Fig.11 As shown, the locking member 4 includes a first rod 41 and a second rod 42 arranged in a bent manner, and the first rod 41 and the buckle 4a are located on the side of the second rod 42 facing away from the socket body 1. The connecting body 2 has a through hole 20, and the second rod 42 passes through the through hole 20. The first rod 41 is located inside the connecting body 2 and on the side of the operating member 5 facing the power collecting body 3. The operating member 5 is against the end of the first rod 41 away from the socket body 1, and the first rod 41 or the second rod 42 is rotatably connected to the connecting body 2.
[0126] When the operating member 5 is pressed, the operating member 5 drives the first rod 41 to rotate in a direction close to the power collecting body 3, and causes the second rod 41 to rotate in a direction close to the socket body 1 ( Fig.11 The dotted arrow in the figure indicates the pressing direction of the operating member 5, and the solid arrow indicates the rotating direction of the locking member 4). This drives the buckle 4a to rotate in a direction close to the socket body 1, and then causes the buckle 4a to retract into the first opening 30, thereby releasing the buckle 4a from the track 200.
[0127] The first elastic member 6 is located on the side of the first rod 41 facing the second rod 42, and the two ends of the first elastic member 6 are respectively against the connecting body 2 and the first rod 41. When the operating member 5 is no longer pressed, the first elastic member 6 is used to drive the first rod 41 to rotate in the direction close to the operating member 5. The second rod 42 is rotated in the direction away from the socket body 1, thereby driving the buckle 4a to move in the direction away from the socket body 1, and then the buckle 4a extends out of the first opening 30, so as to be engaged with the track 200.
[0128] (3) The operating member 5 drives the buckle 4a to rotate in a direction close to the socket body 1.
[0129] In some examples, such as Figure 12-14As shown, the locking member 4 includes a first transmission member 401 and a second transmission member 402, and the first transmission member 401 and the second transmission member 402 are both rotatably connected to the connecting body 2. The buckle 4a is located on the side of the second transmission member 402 facing away from the socket body 1, one end of the first transmission member 401 is connected to the end of the second transmission member 402 close to the socket body 1, and the other end of the first transmission member 401 extends in a direction away from the socket body 1 and abuts against the operating member 5. The first elastic member 6 is located on the side of the second transmission member 402 facing the operating member 5, one end of the first elastic member 6 abuts against the end of the second transmission member 402 close to the socket body 1, and the other end abuts against the connecting body 2. Among them, the first elastic member 6 abuts against the inner wall of the cover plate 203 in the connecting body 2.
[0130] When the operating member 5 presses the first transmission member 401, the end of the first transmission member 401 close to the socket body 1 rotates in a direction away from the power collecting body 3, thereby pulling the end of the second transmission member 402 away from the buckle 4a to rotate in a direction away from the power collecting body 3. In this way, the buckle 4a rotates in a direction close to the socket body 1, so that the buckle 4a retracts into the first opening 30, and the adapter 100 and the track 200 can be released. Fig.12 The dotted arrow in the figure is the force direction of the first transmission member 401, and the two solid arrows are the rotation directions of the first transmission member 401 and the second transmission member 402 respectively).
[0131] When the operating member 5 no longer presses the first transmission member 401, the first elastic member 6 drives the second transmission member 402 to rotate at one end away from the buckle 4a in a direction close to the power collecting body 3. In this way, the buckle 4a rotates in a direction away from the socket body 1, so that the buckle 4a extends out of the first opening 30, thereby enabling the adapter 100 to be engaged with the track 200.
[0132] It is understandable that, since the buckle 4a is located on the side of the second transmission member 402 facing away from the socket body 1, the end of the second transmission member 402 away from the buckle 4a needs to rotate along the end facing the operating member 5. If the operating member 5 directly contacts the end of the second transmission member 402 away from the buckle 4a, when the operating member 5 presses the second transmission member 402, it can only push the end of the second transmission member 402 away from the buckle 4a to rotate along the end away from the operating member 5. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange the first transmission member 401 between the second transmission member 402 and the operating member 5, so as to convert the pressing force of the operating member 5 on the first transmission member 401 into a pulling force on the second transmission member 402, so that the buckle 4a can rotate in the direction close to the socket body 1.
[0133] In some examples, such as Fig.13 and Fig.14As shown, the second transmission member 402 includes a first transmission rod 4021 and a second transmission rod 4022 arranged in a bent manner, the buckle 4a is located on the side of the second transmission rod 4022 away from the socket body 1, and the first transmission rod 4021 is located on the side of the second transmission rod 4022 facing the socket body 1. The connecting body 2 has a through hole 20, the first transmission rod 4021 is located between the connecting body 201 of the connecting body 2 and the operating member 5, the second transmission rod 4022 passes through the through hole 20, and the connection between the first transmission rod 4021 and the second transmission rod 4022 is rotatably connected to the connecting body 2.
[0134] The first transmission member 401 is located between the first transmission rod 4021 and the operating member 5, the rod body of the first transmission member 401 is rotatably connected to the connecting body 2, one end of the first transmission member 401 is connected to one end of the first transmission rod 4021 away from the second transmission rod 4022, and the other end abuts against the operating member 5. The first elastic member 6 is located on the side of the first transmission rod 4021 facing the operating member 5, one end of the first elastic member 6 abuts against one end of the second transmission rod 4022 away from the second transmission rod 4022, and the other end abuts against the connecting body 2.
[0135] When the operating member 5 presses the first transmission member 401, the first transmission member 401 rotates, thereby pulling the end of the first transmission rod 4021 away from the second transmission rod 4022 to rotate in a direction close to the operating member 5. The first transmission rod 4021 drives the second transmission rod 4022 to rotate in a direction close to the socket body 1, so that the buckle 4a retracts into the first opening 30, so that the locking member 4 is released from the track 200.
[0136] When the operating member 5 no longer presses the first transmission member 401, the first elastic member 6 pushes the end of the first transmission rod 4021 away from the second transmission rod 4022 to rotate in a direction away from the operating member 5. The first transmission rod 4021 drives the second transmission rod 4022 to rotate in a direction away from the socket body 1, so that the buckle 4a retracts into the first opening 30.
[0137] During the process of inserting the adapter 100 into the track 200, the user does not need to press the operating member 5, and the inclined surface of the buckle 4a is against the track 200. Under the pressure of the track 200, the buckle 4a gradually rotates in the direction close to the socket body 1, and at the same time, the second rod body 42 rotates in the direction close to the power collecting body 3 until the buckle 4a retracts into the first opening 30, so that the adapter 100 can be smoothly inserted into the track 200. When the buckle 4a is opposite to the snap-in groove on the track 200, the buckle 4a is no longer under the pressure of the track 200. Under the pressure of the first elastic member 6, the first transmission rod 4021 rotates in the direction close to the power collecting body 3, thereby driving the buckle 4a to rotate in the direction away from the socket body 1, so that the buckle 4a extends into the snap-in groove of the track 200.
[0138] For example, Fig.14As shown, one end of the first transmission rod 4021 away from the second transmission rod 4022 has a limiting groove, and the first elastic member 6 is located in the limiting groove. In this way, the first elastic member 6 can be prevented from deflecting.
[0139] The first transmission member 401 includes a rod body 4011 and a connecting body 4012, wherein the rod body 4011 is rotatably connected to the connecting body 2. The first transmission rod 4021 also has columns on both sides of one end away from the second transmission rod 4022, and the connecting body 4012 is connected to the columns of the first transmission rod 4021, and one end of the rod body 4011 away from the connecting body 4012 abuts against the operating member 5. There is a gap between the rod body 4011 and the first transmission rod 4021. When the operating member 5 presses the rod body 4011, the connecting body 4012 generates a pulling force on the first transmission rod 4021.
[0140] In some examples, such as Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the adapter 100 includes two locking members 4 and two first elastic members 6, and the two ends of the operating member 5 are respectively connected to the two locking members 4. In this way, the clamping strength between the adapter 100 and the track 200 can be strengthened to prevent the adapter 100 from deflecting or rotating on the track 200. When the user presses the operating member 5, the operating member 5 can press the two locking members 4 at the same time, so that the two locking members 4 are separated from the track 200 at the same time.
[0141] As described above, during the process of inserting the adapter 100 into the track 200, the user does not need to press the operating member 5. Under the pressure of the track 200, the buckle 4a retracts toward the first opening 30. When the buckle 4a retracts to the first opening 30, since the operating member 5 is not pressed by the user, a gap is generated between the operating member 5 and the locking member 4. Therefore, during this process, the operating member 5 is prone to shaking in the connecting body 2.
[0142] To this end, in some examples, such as Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, the adapter 100 further includes a second elastic member 7. The two ends of the second elastic member 7 are respectively against the connecting body 2 and the operating member 5, and the second elastic member 7 is used to drive the operating member 5 to move in a direction away from the power collecting body 3. In this way, when the user does not press the operating member 5, under the action of the second elastic member 7, the operating member 5 remains stable in the connecting body 2, so that it does not shake.
[0143] In addition, when the user stops pressing the operating member 5, the two first elastic members 6 respectively drive the two locking members 4 to reset. Driven by the two locking members 4, the operating member 5 is also gradually reset. Since the operating member 5 needs to be against the two locking members 4, the operating member 5 is large in size and weight. Relying only on the pressure of the two locking members 4 may cause the operating member 5 to reset slowly. Therefore, the second elastic member 7 can push the operating member 5 to move in a direction away from the power collecting body 3, so that the operating member 5 can be quickly reset.
[0144] Exemplarily, the second elastic member 7 is located between the two locking members 4 , so that the operating member 5 is subjected to a more uniform force.
[0145] The present disclosure also provides a track socket, such as Figure 1 As shown, the track socket includes the above-mentioned adapter 100 and the track 200 .
[0146] The track 200 can be fixed to a wall, and the opening of the track 200 can face upward or downward. Since the adapter 100 can be snap-fitted with the track 200, the adapter 100 will not fall off the track 200 even if the opening of the track 200 faces downward. Alternatively, the track 200 can also be fixed to a desktop.
[0147] 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.
