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

[0059] 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.

[0060] The present disclosure provides a converter. Figure 1 For the structural diagram of the converter, see Figure 1 The converter includes a plug module 100 , a socket module 200 and an electrical connector 300 .

[0061] The plug module 100 includes a plug assembly 1100 and a plug socket 1200. The plug assembly 1100 is detachably connected to the plug socket 1200 (see FIG. Figure 2 ), the socket module 200 includes a receiving cavity 2100, the plug assembly 1100 can be received in the receiving cavity 2100, and the electrical connector 300 is electrically connected to the plug module 100 and the socket module 200 respectively.

[0062] When the converter is in an idle state, the plug assembly 1100 is installed as a whole on the plug socket 1200. The plug assembly 1100 can be accommodated in the accommodating cavity 2100, so that the plug module 100 and the socket module 200 are plugged together, effectively reducing the volume of the converter in an idle state, thereby making the converter easy to carry.

[0063] When the converter is in use, the plug assembly 1100 is removed from the housing 2100, and the appropriate sub-plug 1110 from the plug assembly 1100 is selected and assembled into the plug socket 1200. This allows the socket module 200, through the plug assembly 1100, to adapt to a variety of socket sizes, that is, to be plugged into a variety of socket sizes. After the plug module 100 is plugged into the socket, the plug module 100 draws power and transmits power through the electrical connector 300, thereby also powering the socket module 200. The socket module 200 is designed for commonly used specifications, allowing users to use the converter to draw power from a variety of socket sizes.

[0064] Figure 3 This is the exploded view of the plug socket, combined with Figure 3 In this embodiment, the plug socket includes a housing 10 , a locking assembly 20 and a wiring assembly 30 .

[0065] The lock assembly 20 includes a lock body 210 and an elastic member 220. The lock body 210 is at least partially located in the housing 10 and is movable relative to the housing 10. The elastic member 220 is located in the housing 10 and is compressed between the lock body 210 and the housing 10 to move the lock body 210 from an unlocked position in the housing 10 (see FIG. Figure 4 upper side) to the locked position (see Figure 4 lower side).

[0066] The wiring assembly 30 is at least partially located in the housing 10 . In a direction perpendicular to the movement of the lock body 210 , the portion of the wiring assembly 30 located in the housing 10 overlaps with the lock body 210 .

[0067] The plug socket provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a housing 10, a locking assembly 20, and a wiring assembly 30. The housing 10 is used to provide a mounting base for the locking assembly 20 and the wiring assembly 30. The locking assembly 20 is used to lock the plug assembly 1100 of the converter. The wiring assembly 30 is used to achieve an electrical connection between the plug socket and the electrical connector 300 of the converter. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 220, the locking assembly 20 can move from an unlocked position to a locked position to lock the plug assembly 1100, thereby completing the assembly between the plug socket and the plug assembly 1100. Under the action of an external force, the locking assembly 20 can overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 220 and move from the locked position to the unlocked position to release the lock on the plug assembly 1100, thereby completing the disassembly between the plug socket and the plug assembly 1100. Furthermore, since the portion of the wiring assembly 30 located within the housing 10 overlaps with the lock body 210 in a direction perpendicular to the movement of the lock body 210, the thickness of the plug socket can be efficiently utilized to reduce the width of the plug socket, which is conducive to realizing a miniaturized design of the plug socket for easy carrying during travel.

[0068] Next, the locking method of the plug assembly 1100 by the lock body 210 will be described.

[0069] Figure 5 The position switching diagram of the lock body 210 is shown in FIG. Figure 5 In this embodiment, the lock body 210 has a locking tongue 213 and a toggle protrusion 214 on a side facing away from the wiring assembly 30. The outer wall of the housing 10 has a mounting slot 120. The locking tongue 213 and the toggle protrusion 214 are at least partially located outside the housing 10, with the locking tongue 213 at least partially exposed within the mounting slot 120 and the toggle protrusion 214 at least partially exposed outside the mounting slot 120.

[0070] In the above implementation, the locking tongue 213 and the toggle projection 214 are integrally formed with the lock body 210, so their movement is synchronized. The locking tongue 213 cooperates with the plug assembly 1100 to lock or unlock the plug assembly 1100. The toggle projection 214 is used to withstand external forces, allowing the user to toggle the plug assembly 1100. The mounting slot 120 accommodates the plug assembly 1100, allowing the locking tongue 213 to lock the plug assembly 1100 within the mounting slot 120.

[0071] Illustratively, the outer edge of the sub-plug 1110 has a locking groove 1112 , and the locking tongue 213 is snapped into the locking groove 1112 to achieve locking of the sub-plug 1110 .

[0072] Under normal conditions, the elastic force of the elastic member 220 keeps the lock body 210 in the locked position (see Figure 6 The locking tongue 213 can maintain the lock of the plug assembly 1100. When the protrusion 214 is subjected to an external force, the lock body 210 compresses the elastic member 220 so that the elastic member 220 contracts and moves to the unlocked position (see Figure 6 At the same time, the locking tongue 213 moves accordingly, thereby releasing the lock on the plug assembly 1100, so as to facilitate the removal of the plug assembly 1100.

[0073] Exemplarily, the lock tongue 213 and the toggle protrusion 214 are spaced apart from each other to facilitate the user's operation of the toggle protrusion 214 and avoid interference with the lock tongue 213 .

[0074] In this embodiment, the bottom of the mounting slot 120 has a limiting notch 140, and the outer wall of the lock body 210 facing away from the wiring assembly 30 has a limiting protrusion 215, which is movably inserted into the limiting notch 140. In the normal state, that is, when the lock body 210 is in the locked position, the limiting protrusion 215 abuts against the limiting notch 140, thereby limiting the maximum travel of the lock body 210 from the unlocked position to the locked position, preventing the lock body 210 from being dislodged due to the elastic force of the elastic member 220.

[0075] In this embodiment, the inner sidewall of the mounting slot 120 has a latch 121, which is located at the notch of the mounting slot 120 and away from the locking assembly 20. The outer edge of the sub-plug 1110 has a latch 1111, and the outer edge where the latch 1111 is located is opposite the outer edge where the locking slot 1112 is located. When the sub-plug 1110 is installed in the mounting slot 120, the latch 121 can be locked into the latch 1111.

[0076] Figure 6 This is the installation diagram of the sub-plug, combined with Figure 6When installing the sub-plug 1110 into the mounting slot 120, first place the side of the sub-plug 1110 with the slot 1111 into the mounting slot 120, allowing the latch 121 to partially insert into the slot 1111. Then, place the other side of the sub-plug 1110 into the mounting slot 120, allowing the locking tongue 213 to engage with the locking slot 1112. As the sub-plug 1110 is fully installed in the mounting slot 120, the latch 121 is fully engaged with the slot 1111. In this way, the sub-plug 1110 can be locked in the mounting slot 120 through the cooperation of the latch 121 and the locking tongue 213.

[0077] Figure 7 is a structural diagram of the lock body 210, Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the internal structure of the plug socket, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the outer wall of the lock body 210 facing the wiring assembly 30 has an avoidance groove 211, the wiring assembly 30 is located in the avoidance groove 211, and the wiring assembly 30 and the lock body 210 can move relative to each other.

[0078] Since the movement between the two objects is relative, the wiring assembly 30 and the lock body 210 can move relative to each other, which means that when the wiring assembly 30 is accommodated in the avoidance groove 211 , the lock body 210 can move normally relative to the wiring assembly 30 .

[0079] In the above implementation, by providing the escape groove 211 on the lock body 210, a portion of the wiring assembly 30 can be accommodated within the escape groove 211, thereby utilizing the space in the escape groove 211 and facilitating a reduction in the thickness of the plug socket. Furthermore, the provision of the escape groove 211 effectively prevents interference between the lock body 210 and the wiring assembly 30.

[0080] Exemplarily, the inner contour of the avoidance groove 211 matches the outer contour of the wiring assembly 30. With such a design, the lock body 210 and the wiring assembly 30 can be brought as close as possible within the limited internal space of the housing 10, thereby facilitating a reduction in the size of the plug socket.

[0081] Continue to see Figure 8 In this embodiment, the plug socket further includes a guide structure 40 .

[0082] The guide structure 40 includes a guide groove 410 and a guide rib 420. The extension direction of the guide groove 410 and the guide rib 420 is consistent with the movement direction of the lock body 210. The guide groove 410 and the guide rib 420 are slidably matched. One of the guide groove 410 and the guide rib 420 is located on the outer wall of the lock body 210, and the other of the guide groove 410 and the guide rib 420 is located on the inner wall of the shell 10.

[0083] In the above implementation, the guide groove 410 can be provided on either the outer wall of the lock body 210 or the inner wall of the housing 10. Accordingly, the guide rib 420 can be provided on either the outer wall of the lock body 210 or the inner wall of the housing 10. The sliding fit between the guide groove 410 and the guide rib 420 allows the lock body 210 to be guided relative to the housing 10, thereby preventing unnecessary displacement of the lock body 210 during movement.

[0084] In this embodiment, the guide groove 410 is located on the inner wall of the housing 10 , the guide rib 420 is located on the outer wall of the lock body 210 , and the guide rib 420 is located on a side of the lock body 210 facing away from the avoidance groove 211 .

[0085] For example, there are two guide ribs 420, which are parallel to each other. Of course, in other examples, the number of guide ribs 420 can also be adjusted as needed, such as three, which are parallel to each other. The present disclosure does not limit the number of guide ribs 420.

[0086] Continue to see Figure 8 In this embodiment, the inner wall of the housing 10 has a bracket 110. The bracket 110 is located on opposite sides of the lock body 210 in the direction of movement. The outer wall of the bracket 110 facing the lock body 210 has a buckle 111, which is inserted into the outer wall of the lock body 210 to limit the movement of the lock body 210 in a direction perpendicular to its own movement.

[0087] Positioning the brackets 110 on opposite sides of the lock body 210 in its moving direction prevents the lock body 210 from shifting during movement while also providing support for the lock body 210. The buckle 111 is located on the outer wall of the bracket 110 facing the lock body 210. The buckle 111 is inserted into the outer wall of the lock body 210, securing the lock body 210 to the inner wall of the housing 10 and preventing the lock body 210 from separating from the housing 10.

[0088] Exemplarily, the buckle 111 is a triangular prism structure. When the lock body 210 is assembled in the shell 10, the side of the buckle 111 facing the lock body 210 is a flat surface, which is used to abut the lock body 210 to prevent the lock body 210 from falling out. The side of the opening facing away from the lock body 210 is a slope, which is used to guide the lock body 210 to be locked in.

[0089] It is worth noting that, since the lock body 210 needs to be able to move relative to the housing 10 , the buckle 111 does not directly contact the lock body 210 , thereby preventing the buckle 111 from restricting the normal movement of the lock body 210 .

[0090] Continue to see Figure 8In this embodiment, the outer wall of the lock body 210 has ear plates 212 located on opposite sides of the lock body 210 in the direction of movement. One end of the elastic member 220 abuts against the ear plate 212, and the other end of the elastic member 220 abuts against the bracket 110. The compression direction of the elastic member 220 is consistent with the movement direction of the lock body 210.

[0091] In the above implementation, the ear plate 212 and the bracket 110 jointly support the elastic member 220. When the lock body 210 is driven by an external force and moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the ear plate 212 compresses the elastic member 220, causing the elastic member 220 to accumulate elastic potential energy. When the external force disappears, the accumulated elastic potential energy of the elastic member 220 is automatically released, driving the ear plate 212 to move, thereby causing the lock body 210 to return from the unlocked position to the locked position.

[0092] Exemplarily, the elastic member 220 is a coil spring, and the elastic member 220 is perpendicular to the ear plate 212 , so that the ear plate 212 can better compress the elastic member 220 .

[0093] Continue to see Figure 8 In this embodiment, the plug socket further includes two conductive components 50. One end of each conductive component 50 is connected to the wiring component 30, the other end of one of the two conductive components 50 is bent toward one side of the movement direction of the lock body 210, and the other end of the other of the two conductive components 50 is bent toward the other side of the movement direction of the lock body 210.

[0094] In the above implementation, one conductive component 50 corresponds to the L pole, and the other conductive component 50 corresponds to the N pole. Bending the two conductive components 50 to either side of the movement direction of the lock body 210 can fully utilize the internal space of the housing 10 and prevent short circuits between the two conductive components 50, effectively improving electrical safety.

[0095] In this embodiment, the conductive assembly 50 includes a cable 510 and a conductive member 520 . One end of the cable 510 is connected to the wiring assembly 30 , and the other end of the cable 510 is connected to the conductive member 520 . The conductive member 520 is at least partially located outside the housing 10 .

[0096] In the above implementation, the cable 510 is made of a flexible conductive material, which facilitates the bending of the conductive assembly 50. The conductive member 520 can pass through the outside of the housing 10 and be located in the mounting slot 120, thereby achieving electrical connection with the plug assembly 1100.

[0097] In this embodiment, the conductive member 520 includes a conductive frame 521, a power connecting pin 522 and a spring 523. The conductive frame 521 is connected to the cable 510 and to the inner wall of the outer shell 10. The power connecting pin 522 is movably plugged into the conductive frame 521. One end of the power connecting pin 522 passes through the outer shell 10 and is located in the mounting groove 120. The spring 523 is mounted on the outside of the power connecting pin 522, and the spring 523 is compressed between the power connecting pin 522 and the inner wall of the outer shell 10.

[0098] In the above implementation, the elastic force of spring 523 can maintain the end of contact pin 522 outside housing 10, so that it can contact and form an electrical connection with the electrical terminal of plug assembly 1100. Furthermore, the elastic force of spring 523 can ensure close contact between contact pin 522 and the electrical terminal.

[0099] Continue to see Figure 8 In this embodiment, the inner wall of the housing 10 has a wiring rack 130 , and the two cables 510 are both clamped in the wiring rack 130 , and the wiring rack 130 is close to the bending part of the cables 510 .

[0100] In the above implementation, the cable rack 130 is used to support the cable 510, especially the bending portion of the cable 510, thereby effectively preventing the cable 510 from shaking or deforming unnecessarily, causing the two wires to contact or even become entangled.
