Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a convenient track socket adapter, in particular to a convenient track socket adapter. BACKGROUND

[0002] The track socket system has been widely used in modern office, home and industrial electrical environment due to its flexibility and convenience; the switch adapter, one of the core components, is responsible for controlling the power on-off of a specific section of the track, and is a key component for realizing safe and energy-saving operation.

[0003] The common track socket switch adapter on the market usually adopts a lower lever type swing structure for the switch triggering mechanism; specifically, the structure usually includes a user rotatable knob, which triggers the switch action through a linkage located below the circuit micro switch; when the user rotates the knob, the linkage swings around the fulcrum, pressing the micro switch button upwards, thereby realizing the connection and disconnection of the circuit.

[0004] And the locking and unlocking mechanism usually adopts a press button design, specifically, such an adapter usually has one or more radially movable locking blocks inside the shell; during installation, the user inserts the adapter into the track, and the locking blocks are pushed out by the internal spring, and are clamped into the pre-designed clamping groove of the track, thereby realizing mechanical fixation and electrical connection; when disassembly is needed, the user needs to press an unlocking button provided on the side or top of the adapter shell, and pressing the button will drive the locking block to shrink inward by overcoming the spring force through the internal lever or inclined surface mechanism, so that it is separated from the clamping groove of the track, thereby allowing the adapter to be pulled out.

[0005] However, the above-mentioned switch adapter has the following problems: first, the rotation angle is small, since the linkage driving the switch to rotate is below the switch, the rotation range is small, and the corresponding rotation angle of the knob is small, so it is difficult for the user to clearly perceive the state change of the switch through touch, which reduces the operation accuracy and user experience; second, during the rotation of the knob, the relative position between the switch and the linkage changes, resulting in a change in the required torque, which may be light at the beginning and end of the stroke, but suddenly increases at the moment of triggering the switch; this sudden change in force makes the operation feel rough and not smooth, lacking the texture and consistency of high-end products; third, in order to unlock, an unlocking button is added, which destroys the streamlined and integrated design aesthetics of the adapter shell, sacrificing form for functionality, making the product appear clumsy in appearance, which is not consistent with the trend of pursuing simplicity and beauty in modern interior decoration, and the protruding unlocking button is easy to be accidentally touched during installation, cleaning or daily use, which may cause the adapter to be accidentally unlocked and fall off, and the safety needs to be improved. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient track socket adapter.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: It includes an adapter body and a switch, the switch being rotatably mounted on the adapter body. The switch has an energizing part that energizes the adapter body and an de-energizing part that de-energizes the adapter body. The invention is characterized by including a chassis, a rotating housing, a turntable, a locking protrusion, a locking spring, and a linkage member. The adapter body is mounted on the turntable, the chassis and turntable are rotatably coupled, the rotating housing is rotatably mounted on the chassis, the linkage member is located inside the rotating housing and above the switch, the linkage member has an energizing position abutting the energizing part and a de-energizing position opposite the de-energizing part, a compensating spring is provided between the adapter body and the rotating housing, a locking groove adapted to the locking protrusion is provided on the chassis, the locking spring is provided between the locking protrusion and the turntable and drives the locking protrusion part into the locking groove to fix the chassis and the turntable, an unlocking part is provided on the locking protrusion, and an unlocking block opposite the unlocking part is provided on the rotating housing. The unlocking block has an unlocking state that drives the locking protrusion to move out of the locking groove.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the user rotates the outer casing, the rotating casing drives the internal linkage to rotate as well. The linkage acts on the energizing or de-energizing part of the switch from above, thereby directly controlling the energizing or de-energizing state of the adapter body. During this process, the compensating spring between the adapter body and the rotating casing is compressed or released, and the resulting elastic force is used to balance and compensate for the operating torque. At the same time, when the rotating casing rotates, it drives the unlocking block to rotate. If the switch is switched to the energizing state, the unlocking block moves away from the locking protrusion; conversely, if the switch is switched to the de-energizing state, the unlocking block moves closer to the locking protrusion, completing the unlocking process and allowing the adapter to... The entire unit can slide on the track. This design increases the effective operating angle of the rotating housing by placing the linkage above the switch and using a compensating spring. This allows users to more clearly perceive changes in the switch status through touch, improving operational accuracy. The compensating spring effectively eliminates sudden torque changes during operation, resulting in uniform rotational force and a smooth, fluid feel. This significantly enhances the product's premium feel and user experience. Rotating the housing indirectly triggers the unlocking mechanism, avoiding exposed push-buttons. This maintains the adapter's overall appearance and aesthetics while reducing the risk of accidental unlocking, thus improving safety and user experience.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a transition section is provided between the energized part and the de-energized part, and a rotating rod is provided on the transition section; a rotating hole is provided on the adapter body opposite to the rotating rod, and the rotating hole forms a rotational engagement of the switch on the adapter body with the rotating rod.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating rod of the switch is embedded in the rotating hole of the adapter body to form a fulcrum. When the linkage moves under the drive of the rotating housing, it will slide or disengage along the surface of the switch contour composed of the energized part, the transition part and the de-energized part. The setting of the transition part allows the linkage to smoothly transition between the energized part and the de-energized part. The cooperation between the rotating rod and the rotating hole provides a stable and reliable rotation fulcrum for the switch, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the switch action. The introduction of the transition part provides a smooth buffer area for the movement of the linkage, avoiding abrupt impacts or jamming when the linkage switches between the energized and de-energized states, further improving the smoothness and feel of the operation.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the height of the transition section is lower than the height of the energized section and the height of the de-energized section.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, since the height of the transition section is lower than that of the energized and de-energized sections, when the linkage moves from a high position to another position under the drive of the rotating housing, it will first go downhill through the lower transition section and then go uphill to reach the other position.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the linkage component includes a first horizontal segment, a vertical segment and a second horizontal segment, the first horizontal segment is disposed inside the rotating housing, the vertical segment is disposed between the first horizontal segment and the second horizontal segment, the first horizontal segment and the second horizontal segment are parallel, and a pressing part opposite to the switch is disposed inside the second horizontal segment.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the first horizontal segment of the linkage is responsible for connecting with the rotating housing and transmitting torque, the vertical segment connects the first and second horizontal segments, and the pressing part located at the second horizontal segment is directly responsible for contacting or separating from the energized or de-energized part of the switch. When the rotating housing rotates, the first horizontal segment drives the entire linkage to move, and finally the pressing part performs the pressing or releasing action of the switch. This integrated lever structure design is simple and efficient. The first horizontal segment provides a stable force point, the vertical segment ensures sufficient structural strength and stroke, and the pressing part at the end of the second horizontal segment can accurately align and operate the switch. The force transmission path of this structure is clear, the action response is direct, and the accuracy and reliability of the switch triggering operation are guaranteed.

[0015] The invention is further configured such that: the compensation spring is a torsion spring, a fixed post is provided on the adapter body, a mating post is provided on the rotating outer shell, one end of the compensation spring is provided on the fixed post, the other end is provided on the mating post, and the unlocking block is located at the bottom of the mating post.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the user rotates the outer shell, the outer shell rotates relative to the adapter body, thereby forcing the compensation spring to undergo torsional deformation, storing or releasing elastic potential energy. Using a torsion spring as the compensation spring, its characteristic is that it can provide a restoring torque that is proportional to the rotation angle and grows linearly. It can very effectively neutralize the nonlinear torque changes caused by the change of mechanism position during operation. This makes the entire rotation operation very smooth from start to finish, with a uniform and consistent feel and force, completely eliminating the feeling of stiffness and sudden changes in force, and greatly improving the operation quality and comfort.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: the chassis is provided with a sliding track for the unlocking block to slide, and the sliding track has an unlocking position opposite to the unlocking part; the unlocking part has an inclined surface with a cross-sectional area that gradually decreases along the direction close to the unlocking block; and the unlocking block is provided with a mating surface that matches the inclined surface.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the unlocking block moves to the unlocking position along the sliding track on the chassis. Through the engagement of its mating surface with the inclined surface of the locking protrusion, the lateral sliding is efficiently converted into the longitudinal displacement of the locking protrusion, allowing it to smoothly exit the locking groove. The inclined surface design reduces the operating force required for unlocking, making the unlocking process smoother and less strenuous. The sliding track restricts the movement path of the unlocking block, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the unlocking action, while avoiding part misalignment or jamming.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that: a fixed protrusion is provided on the turntable, a locking protrusion is provided on the locking protrusion, the two ends of the locking spring are respectively sleeved on the fixed protrusion and the locking protrusion and constitute a drive for the locking protrusion, and the other end of the locking protrusion relative to the locking protrusion is provided with a fixing part that is adapted to the locking groove, and the fixing part has a fixed state in which it enters the locking groove and constitutes a fixed state in which the turntable and the chassis are fixed together.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the two ends of the locking spring are respectively sleeved on the fixed protrusion of the turntable and the locking protrusion of the locking block, providing a stable elastic driving force. This ensures that the fixed part of the locking protrusion always tends to move towards the locking groove. When locking, the fixed part is engaged in the locking groove, and when unlocking, the fixed part is pushed away. The spring fixing method simplifies the assembly process and improves structural stability. The fixed protrusion and the locking protrusion prevent the spring from shifting, ensure that the locking force is in the same direction, and enhance the reliability and durability of the lock.

[0021] The present invention is further configured such that: a fixed block is provided at the bottom of the chassis, a rotating block is provided at the bottom of the turntable, a receiving groove is provided on the fixed block for accommodating the rotating block, and a copper sheet is provided at the end of the rotating block.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is used with the track, the fixed block and the rotating block are in a cross shape. The copper sheet on the rotating block is in contact with the conductive parts in the track. At this time, the turntable and the chassis are fixed together by the locking protrusion. When unlocking, the rotating housing is rotated, which pushes the locking protrusion in the opposite direction, so that the turntable and the chassis can move relative to each other, thereby allowing the adapter to be removed from the track as a whole.

[0023] The invention is further configured to include a top cover, which is disposed on the rotating housing and forms a closed space with the rotating housing, the chassis and the turntable, and the adapter body is located within the closed space.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the top cover constitutes the external protective shell of the product, which plays a role in preventing dust and foreign objects from entering, effectively protecting the internal precision electrical and mechanical components, improving the product's safety level, reliability and service life, and at the same time, it also gives the product a complete and beautiful external form.

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] like Figures 1-6As shown, this invention discloses a convenient track socket adapter, including an adapter body 1 and a switch 2. The switch 2 is rotatably mounted on the adapter body 1. The switch 2 has an energizing part 21 that controls the adapter body 1 to be energized and an de-energizing part 22 that controls the adapter body 1 to be de-energized. The invention is characterized by including a chassis 3, a rotating outer shell 5, a turntable 4, a locking protrusion 6, a locking spring 61, and a linkage member 51. The adapter body 1 is mounted on the turntable 4, and the chassis 3 and the turntable 4 are rotatably coupled. The rotating outer shell 5 is rotatably mounted on the chassis 3. The linkage member 51 is disposed inside the rotating outer shell 5 and is located above the switch 2. 51 has an energized position that abuts against the energized part 21 and an de-energized position that is opposite to the de-energized part 22. A compensating spring 7 is provided between the adapter body 1 and the rotating housing 5. A locking groove 62 adapted to the locking protrusion 6 is provided on the chassis 3. The locking spring 61 is provided between the locking protrusion 6 and the turntable 4 and drives the locking protrusion 6 part into the locking groove 62 to fix the chassis 3 and the turntable 4. An unlocking part 60 is provided on the locking protrusion 6. An unlocking block 63 opposite to the unlocking part 60 is provided on the rotating housing 5. The unlocking block 63 has an unlocked state that drives the locking protrusion 6 to move out of the locking groove 62. When the user rotates the rotating housing 5, the rotating housing 5 drives the locking protrusion 6 to move out of the locking groove 62. The internal linkage 51 rotates together, acting from above on the energizing part 21 or de-energizing part 22 of the switch 2, thereby directly controlling the energizing or de-energizing state of the adapter body 1. During this process, the compensating spring 7 between the adapter body 1 and the rotating housing 5 is compressed or released, and the resulting elastic force is used to balance and compensate for the operating torque. At the same time, when the rotating housing 5 rotates, it will drive the unlocking block 63 to rotate. If the switch 2 is switched to the energizing state, the unlocking block 63 will move away from the locking protrusion 6; conversely, if the switch 2 is switched to the de-energizing state, the unlocking block 63 will move closer to the locking protrusion 6, completing the unlocking and allowing the entire adapter to move along the track. The sliding mechanism, by placing the linkage 51 above the switch 2 and cooperating with the compensation spring 7, increases the effective operating angle of the rotating housing 5, allowing users to more clearly perceive the changes in the state of the switch 2 through touch, thus improving the accuracy of operation. The compensation spring 7 effectively eliminates sudden torque changes during operation, making the entire rotation operation force uniform and the feel smooth and fluid, significantly improving the high-end texture of the product and the user experience. By rotating the housing 5, the unlocking mechanism is indirectly triggered, avoiding exposed push-buttons, maintaining the overall integrity and aesthetics of the adapter's appearance, and reducing the risk of accidental unlocking, thus improving safety and user experience.

[0035] A transition section 23 is provided between the energized part 21 and the de-energized part 22, and a rotating rod 24 is provided on the transition section 23. A rotating hole 25 is provided on the adapter body 1, which is opposite to the rotating rod 24 and forms a rotational engagement of the switch 2 on the adapter body 1. The rotating rod 24 of the switch 2 is embedded in the rotating hole 25 of the adapter body 1 to form a fulcrum. When the linkage 51 moves under the drive of the rotating housing 5, it will slide or disengage along the contour surface of the switch 2 formed by the energized part 21, the transition section 23 and the de-energized part 22. The provision of the transition section 23 allows the linkage 51 to smoothly transition between the energized part 21 and the de-energized part 22. The engagement of the rotating rod 24 and the rotating hole 25 provides a stable and reliable rotational fulcrum for the switch 2, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the switch 2's operation. The introduction of the transition section 23 provides a smooth buffer area for the movement of the linkage 51, avoiding abrupt impacts or jamming when the linkage 51 switches between the energized and de-energized states, further improving the smoothness and feel of the operation.

[0036] The height of the transition section 23 is lower than the height of the energized section 21 and the power-off section 22. Because the height of the transition section 23 is lower than that of the energized section 21 and the power-off section 22, when the linkage 51 moves from a high position to another position under the drive of the rotating housing 5, it will first go downhill through the lower transition section 23 and then go uphill to reach the other position.

[0037] The linkage 51 includes a first horizontal section 52, a vertical section 53, and a second horizontal section 54. The first horizontal section 52 is disposed inside the rotating housing 5, and the vertical section 53 is disposed between the first horizontal section 52 and the second horizontal section 54. The first horizontal section 52 and the second horizontal section 54 are parallel. A pressing part 55 opposite to the switch 2 is disposed inside the second horizontal section 54. The first horizontal section 52 of the linkage 51 is responsible for connecting to the rotating housing 5 and transmitting torque. The vertical section 53 connects the first horizontal section 52 and the second horizontal section 54. The pressing part 55 located in the second horizontal section 54 is directly responsible for connecting to the energized part of the switch 2. When the energizer 21 or the de-energizer 22 contacts or separates, the rotating housing 5 rotates, driving the entire linkage 51 to move through the first horizontal section 52, and finally the pressing part 55 performs the pressing or releasing action on the switch 2. This integrated lever structure design is simple and efficient. The first horizontal section 52 provides a stable force point, the vertical section 53 ensures sufficient structural strength and stroke, and the pressing part 55 at the end of the second horizontal section 54 can accurately align and operate the switch 2. The force transmission path of this structure is clear and the action response is direct, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the switch 2 trigger operation.

[0038] The compensating spring 7 is a torsion spring. A fixed post 71 is provided on the adapter body 1, and a mating post 72 is provided on the rotating outer shell 5. One end of the compensating spring 7 is provided on the fixed post 71, and the other end is provided on the mating post 72. The unlocking block 63 is located at the bottom of the mating post 72. When the user rotates the rotating outer shell 5, the outer shell rotates relative to the adapter body 1, thereby forcing the compensating spring 7 to undergo torsional deformation, storing or releasing elastic potential energy. The torsion spring 7 is used as the compensating spring because it can provide a restoring torque that is proportional to the rotation angle and grows linearly. It can effectively neutralize the nonlinear torque changes caused by the change of mechanism position during operation. This makes the entire rotation operation very smooth from start to finish, with a uniform and consistent feel and force, completely eliminating the feeling of stiffness and sudden changes in force, and greatly improving the operation quality and comfort.

[0039] The chassis 3 is provided with a sliding track 73 for the unlocking block 63 to slide along, and the sliding track 73 has an unlocking position opposite to the unlocking part 60. The unlocking part 60 has an inclined surface 65 whose cross-sectional area gradually decreases along the direction close to the unlocking block 63. The unlocking block 63 is provided with a mating surface 64 that matches the inclined surface 65. The unlocking block 63 moves along the sliding track 73 on the chassis 3 to the unlocking position. Through the mating surface 64 and the inclined surface of the locking protrusion 65, the lateral sliding is efficiently converted into the longitudinal displacement of the locking protrusion 6, so that it smoothly exits the locking groove 62. The inclined surface design reduces the operating force required for unlocking, making the unlocking process smoother and less strenuous. The sliding track 73 restricts the movement path of the unlocking block 63, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the unlocking action, while avoiding part misalignment or jamming.

[0040] The turntable 4 is provided with a fixed protrusion 66, and the locking protrusion 6 is provided with a locking protrusion 67. The two ends of the locking spring 61 are respectively sleeved on the fixed protrusion 66 and the locking protrusion 67, and constitute the drive for the locking protrusion 6. The other end of the locking protrusion 6 opposite to the locking protrusion 67 is provided with a fixing part 68 that is adapted to the locking groove 62. The fixing part 68 has the ability to enter the locking groove 62 and form a fixed state in which the turntable 4 and the chassis 3 are fixed together. The two ends of the locking spring 61 are respectively sleeved on the fixed protrusion 66 of the turntable 4 and the locking protrusion 67 of the locking protrusion 6, providing a stable elastic driving force, so that the fixing part 68 of the locking protrusion 6 always has the tendency to move towards the locking groove 62. When locking, the fixing part 68 is engaged in the locking groove 62, and when unlocking, the fixing part 68 is pushed away. The fixing method of the spring simplifies the assembly process and improves the structural stability. The fixed protrusion 66 and the locking protrusion 67 prevent the spring from deviating, ensure that the locking force is in the same direction, and enhance the reliability and durability of locking.

[0041] A fixed block 8 is provided at the bottom of the chassis 3, and a rotating block 81 is provided at the bottom of the turntable 4. The fixed block 8 is provided with a receiving groove 82 for accommodating the rotating block 81. A copper sheet 83 is provided at the end of the rotating block 81. When it is engaged with the track, the fixed block 8 and the rotating block 81 form a cross shape. The copper sheet 83 on the rotating block 81 contacts the conductive parts in the track. At this time, the turntable 4 and the chassis 3 are fixed together under the action of the locking protrusion 6. When unlocking, the rotating housing 5 is rotated, thereby pushing the locking protrusion 6 in the opposite direction, so that the turntable 4 and the chassis 3 can move relative to each other, thereby allowing the adapter to be removed from the track as a whole.

[0042] It also includes a top cover 9, which is set on the rotating housing 5 and forms a closed space with the rotating housing 5, the chassis 3 and the turntable 4. The adapter body 1 is located in the closed space. The top cover 9 constitutes the external protective shell of the product, which plays the role of preventing dust and foreign objects from entering, effectively protecting the internal precision electrical and mechanical components, improving the safety level, reliability and service life of the product, and at the same time, it also gives the product a complete and beautiful external form.

[0043] Working process: When the user rotates the outer casing 5, the rotation of the outer casing 5 drives the internal linkage 51 to rotate together. The pressing part 55 of the second horizontal section 54 acts on the energizing part 21 or de-energizing part 22 of the switch 2 from above, directly controlling the energizing or de-energizing state of the adapter body 1. The switch 2 rotates through the rotating rod 24 and the rotating hole 25 of the adapter body 1. The transition part 23 between the energizing part 21 and the de-energizing part 22 is low in height to ensure a smooth transition of the linkage 51. During this process, the compensating spring 7 between the adapter body 1 and the rotating outer casing 5 is compressed or released, and the elastic force generated balances the operating torque. This ensures smooth and even operation. Simultaneously, rotating the outer casing 5 causes the unlocking block 63 to move. If switch 2 is switched to the energized state, the unlocking block 63 moves away from the locking protrusion 6. If it is switched to the de-energized state, the unlocking block 63 moves closer to the locking protrusion 6. The unlocking block 63 engages with the inclined surface 65 of the locking protrusion 6 through the mating surface 64, driving the locking protrusion 6 to move out of the locking groove 62 of the chassis 3, thus releasing the fixation between the turntable 4 and the chassis 3. The fixing block 8 at the bottom of the chassis 3 and the rotating block 81 at the bottom of the turntable 4 form a cross shape. The copper sheet 83 at the end of the rotating block 81 contacts the conductive parts of the track. After unlocking, the adapter can slide on the track.
