Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure pertains to the field of electronic devices, and particularly relates to a track socket. Background Technology

[0002] Track sockets are a type of socket that offers great flexibility in use.

[0003] In related technologies, track sockets mainly consist of an adapter and a long, narrow track. The track is mounted on the wall, and a conductive strip within the track is electrically connected to the wall's power supply line. The adapter has a moving conductive element and a socket. The moving conductive element includes a conductive plate and contacts riveted to the end of the conductive plate. When using the track socket, the moving conductive element of the adapter is inserted into the track, causing the contacts to make contact with the conductive strip inside the track. Then, the plug of an appliance is inserted into the socket of the adapter, allowing the appliance to draw power from the adapter.

[0004] However, because the contacts and conductive sheets are riveted together, there are certain requirements for the size and thickness of the conductive sheets, which is not conducive to the design of thinner and lighter products. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure provides a track socket that facilitates a slim and lightweight design. The technical solution is as follows: This disclosure provides a track socket, including: a track and an adapter; One side of the track has an opening extending along the length direction of the track, and the track has a receiving cavity communicating with the opening. The receiving cavity has a conductive strip extending along the length direction of the track, and the conductive strip has a sheet-like structure. The adapter includes a main body, a guide component, and a moving conductive component; The main body has a socket on one side. The guide is located on the side of the main body opposite to the socket and is inserted into the opening. The movable conductive element is located inside the guide. The movable conductive element includes a conductive portion, at least part of which is a sheet-like structure and has a contact near the end. The plane where the sheet-like portion of the conductive portion is located has an angle with the rotation axis of the movable conductive element. The plane where the sheet-like portion of the conductive portion is located has an angle with the plane where the conductive strip is located. The contact and the conductive portion are integrally formed. The movable conductive element can rotate relative to the guide, so that the contact extends out of the guide and contacts the conductive strip.

[0006] In one implementation of this disclosure, the conductive part includes a first conductive arm and a second conductive arm; The first end of the first conductive arm is connected to the first end of the second conductive arm, and there is an angle between the first conductive arm and the second conductive arm. The contact point is located at the second end of the first conductive arm near itself. The second conductive arm extends along the rotation axis of the moving conductive element.

[0007] In another implementation of this disclosure, the first conductive arm includes a first connecting segment and a first electrical contact segment; The first end of the first connecting segment is connected to the second conductive arm, and the second end of the first connecting segment is connected to the first end of the first electrical contact segment. The first connecting segment and the first electrical contact segment are sheet-like structures.

[0008] In another implementation of this disclosure, the wall thickness of the first electrical contact segment is greater than the wall thickness of the first connecting segment.

[0009] In another implementation of this disclosure, the length directions of the first connecting segment and the first electrical contact segment are perpendicular to the rotation axis of the moving conductive component.

[0010] In another implementation of this disclosure, the size of the contact is greater than the wall thickness of the first electrical contact segment in the wall thickness direction.

[0011] In another implementation of this disclosure, the contact is a disk-shaped structure, and the outer edge of the contact has a first tangent and a second tangent, the first tangent and the second tangent are parallel to each other, and the first tangent and the second tangent are located on opposite sides of the first contact segment.

[0012] In another implementation of this disclosure, the second end of the first electrical contact segment has an arc-shaped side, so that the width of the first electrical contact segment gradually decreases along the direction from its first end to its second end. The contact point is located on the side of the arc.

[0013] In another implementation of this disclosure, the second end of the first power-connecting segment has a clearance notch located on the other side of the first power-connecting segment opposite to the arcuate side.

[0014] In another implementation of this disclosure, the second conductive arm includes a second connecting segment and a second electrical contact segment; The first end of the second connecting segment is connected to the first conductive arm, the second end of the second connecting segment is connected to the first end of the second electrical receiving segment, the second connecting segment is a sheet-like structure, the second electrical receiving segment is a hollow cylindrical structure, and the end of the second connecting segment is connected to the end edge of the second electrical receiving segment.

[0015] In another implementation of this disclosure, the wall thickness of the second connecting segment is the same as the wall thickness of the second electrical connection segment.

[0016] In another implementation of this disclosure, the second end of the second connecting segment has a bent segment; One end of the bent section is connected to the edge of the second electrical contact section, and the other end of the bent section bends and extends to the axis of the second electrical contact section and connects to the second connecting section, so that the second connecting section can extend along the axis of the second electrical contact section.

[0017] In another implementation of this disclosure, the moving conductive component further includes an insulating sleeve; The insulating sleeve is fitted over the conductive part; The sheet-like structure of the conductive part is located outside the insulating sleeve.

[0018] In another implementation of this disclosure, the insulating sleeve includes a first rubber sleeve and a second rubber sleeve; The first end of the first rubber sleeve is connected to the first end of the second rubber sleeve. The first rubber sleeve is fitted over the first conductive arm, and the second rubber sleeve is fitted over the second conductive arm.

[0019] In another implementation of this disclosure, the insulating sleeve further includes reinforcing ribs; The reinforcing rib is located at the angle between the first rubber sleeve and the second rubber sleeve, and the reinforcing rib is connected to the first rubber sleeve and the second rubber sleeve respectively.

[0020] In another implementation of this disclosure, the insulating sleeve further includes a rudder located within the main body and capable of swinging relative to the main body; The inner wall of the main body has a limiting protrusion, which abuts against the rudder when the contact point is retracted into the guide.

[0021] In another implementation of this disclosure, the plane in which the sheet-like structure of the conductive part is located makes an angle of 90° with the rotation axis of the moving conductive member.

[0022] In another implementation of this disclosure, the angle between the plane where the sheet-like structure of the conductive part is located and the plane where the conductive strip is located is 90°.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in this disclosure include at least the following: The track socket provided in this disclosure has an adapter that effectively solves the problem in related technologies where the contact and conductive part are installed by riveting, which results in the inability to reduce the structural thickness and is not conducive to lightweight design.

[0024] The track socket provided in this embodiment mainly includes a track and an adapter inserted into the track. One side of the adapter's main body has a socket for accommodating the plug of an electrical appliance, thereby enabling the plug to draw power from the adapter. A guide is located on the side of the main body facing away from the socket and is used to insert into the track of the track socket, enabling the adapter to slide guideably relative to the track. A movable conductive element is located within the guide and is rotatable relative to the main body, used to contact or space from a conductive strip within the track, enabling the adapter to draw power or disconnect power from the track. The movable conductive element includes a conductive portion, a part of which is a sheet-like structure with contacts. The contacts and conductive portion are an integral structure, thus avoiding the need for riveting to connect the contacts and conductive portion. This eliminates the size design limitations of the conductive portion, which requires providing a riveting base for the contacts, facilitating a thinner and lighter design for the conductive portion. Furthermore, because the plane of the aforementioned sheet-like structure forms an angle with the rotation axis of the moving conductive component, the orientation of the conductive part can be adjusted according to design requirements. This allows the conductive part to fit more closely to the internal structure of the track, thereby reducing the space occupied by the conductive part within the track and contributing to the overall slim design of the track socket. Additionally, the angle between the plane of the sheet-like structure of the conductive part and the plane of the conductive strip ensures reliable and sufficient contact between the contacts on the conductive part and the conductive strip.

[0028] The accompanying drawings have illustrated specific embodiments of this disclosure, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of this disclosure to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a track socket provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, intended to illustrate the internal structure of the track socket. Figure 1 Part of the track 100 was removed. (Combined) Figure 1 In this embodiment, the track socket includes a track 100 and an adapter 200.

[0031] One side of the track 100 has an opening 1100 extending along the length direction of the track 100. The track 100 has a receiving cavity communicating with the opening 1100. The receiving cavity has a conductive strip 1200 extending along the length direction of the track 100. The conductive strip 1200 has a sheet-like structure.

[0032] Figure 2 See the schematic diagram of the adapter. Figure 2In this embodiment, the adapter includes a main body 10, a guide 30, and a movable conductive element 20. The main body 10 has a socket 110 on one side, the guide 30 is located on the side of the main body 10 opposite to the socket 110 and is inserted into the opening 1100, and the movable conductive element 20 is located inside the guide 30.

[0033] Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of a moving conductive component, combined with... Figure 3 In this embodiment, the movable conductive member 20 includes a conductive portion 210, which is at least partially a sheet-like structure and has a contact 230 near its end. The plane where the sheet-like portion of the conductive portion 210 is located forms an angle with the rotation axis of the movable conductive member 20, and the plane where the sheet-like portion of the conductive portion 210 is located forms an angle with the plane where the conductive strip 1200 is located. The contact 230 and the conductive portion 210 are integrally formed. The movable conductive member 20 can rotate relative to the guide member 30, so that the contact 230 extends out of the guide member 30 and contacts the conductive strip 1200.

[0034] The track socket provided in this embodiment effectively solves the problem in related technologies where the contact 230 is installed by riveting, which prevents the reduction of structural thickness and hinders lightweight design by making the contact 230 and conductive part 210 an integral structure.

[0035] The track socket provided in this embodiment mainly includes a track 100 and an adapter 200 inserted into the track 100. One side of the main body 10 of the adapter 200 has a socket 110 for accommodating the plug of an electrical appliance, thereby enabling the plug to draw power from the adapter. A movable conductive member 20 is located on the side of the main body 10 facing away from the socket 110, and it is rotatable relative to the main body 10, thus allowing it to rotate in an idle state (see...). Figure 2 (top side) and conductivity state (see top side) Figure 2 Switching between the lower side and the upper side. The moving conductive component 20 includes a conductive part 210, a part of which is a sheet structure with a contact 230. The contact 230 and the conductive part 210 are an integral structure, thereby avoiding the need to connect the contact 230 and the conductive part 210 by riveting. As a result, the size design of the conductive part 210 is no longer limited by the need to provide a riveting base for the contact 230, which is conducive to the thin and light design of the conductive part 210.

[0036] Furthermore, because the plane of the aforementioned sheet-like structure forms an angle with the rotation axis of the moving conductive element 20, the orientation of the conductive part 210 can be adjusted according to design requirements. This allows the conductive part 210 to fit more closely to the internal structure of the track, thereby reducing the space occupied by the conductive part 210 within the track and contributing to the overall slim design of the track socket. Additionally, the angle between the plane of the sheet-like structure of the conductive part 210 and the plane of the conductive strip 1200 ensures reliable and sufficient contact between the contacts 230 on the conductive part 210 and the conductive strip 1200.

[0037] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing the position between the moving conductive component and the conductive strip, combined with... Figure 4 In this embodiment, the angle between the plane where the sheet-like structure of the conductive part 210 is located and the plane where the conductive strip 1200 is located is represented by α, and the angle between the plane where the sheet-like structure of the conductive part 210 is located and the rotation axis of the moving conductive member 20 is represented by β.

[0038] For example, the included angles a and b range from 85.5 to 94.5°.

[0039] Setting the included angles a and b within the aforementioned range not only facilitates the slim design of the track socket but also ensures reliable and sufficient contact between the contact 230 and the conductive strip 1200.

[0040] In this embodiment, the included angles a and b are 90°, that is, the plane where the sheet-like structure of the conductive part 210 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the conductive strip 1200 is located, and the plane where the sheet-like structure of the conductive part 210 is located is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the moving conductive member 20.

[0041] In this embodiment, the side of the main body 10 facing away from the socket 110 has a rubber plug (not shown). The rubber plug is used to contact the side of the track with the opening 1100 to ensure the smooth assembly of the adapter 200 on the track 100.

[0042] As mentioned above, the movable conductive component 20 is the key to achieving the thin and light design. The movable conductive component 20 will be explained in more detail below.

[0043] Figure 5 This is a structural schematic diagram of the conductive part 210, combined with... Figure 5 In this embodiment, the conductive part 210 includes a first conductive arm 211 and a second conductive arm 212. The first end of the first conductive arm 211 is connected to the first end of the second conductive arm 212, and there is an included angle between the first conductive arm 211 and the second conductive arm 212. The contact point 230 is located at the second end of the first conductive arm 211 near itself. The second conductive arm 212 extends along the rotation axis of the moving conductive member 20.

[0044] In the above implementation, by designing the conductive part 210 as a first conductive arm 211 and a second conductive arm 212 with an angle, the rotation radius of the moving conductive member 20 is increased, thereby facilitating contact with the conductive strip 1200 of the track socket to achieve power extraction. The second conductive arm 212 extends along the rotation axis as a rotational support and pivot, allowing the angled first conductive arm 211 to swing outwards towards the conductive strip 1200 with a large lever arm under the influence of rotational force. This ensures that the contact point 230 at the end of the first conductive arm 211 can make sufficient travel to tightly contact the conductive strip 1200 of the track socket.

[0045] See Figure 3 In this embodiment, the moving conductive component 20 further includes an insulating sleeve 220, which is sleeved outside the conductive part 210, and the sheet-like structure portion of the conductive part 210 is located outside the insulating sleeve 220.

[0046] In the above implementation, by placing the insulating sleeve 220 outside the conductive part 210, electrical safety can be effectively improved, avoiding potential short circuits or electric shocks. Furthermore, since the sheet-like structure of the conductive part 210 is located outside the insulating sleeve 220, the contact 230 is ensured to be outside the insulating sleeve 220, preventing the insulating sleeve 220 from affecting the contact between the contact 230 and the conductive strip 1200.

[0047] For example, the insulating sleeve 220 includes a first rubber sleeve 221 and a second rubber sleeve 222. The first end of the first rubber sleeve 221 is connected to the first end of the second rubber sleeve 222. The first rubber sleeve 221 is sleeved outside the first conductive arm 211, and the second rubber sleeve 222 is sleeved outside the second conductive arm 212.

[0048] In the above implementation, the first insulating sleeve 221 and the second insulating sleeve 222 are used to protect the two mutually angled first conductive arms 211 and 212, respectively, ensuring insulation reliability. This segmented insulating structure closely fits the contour of the conductive part 210, so that the entire insulating sleeve 220 has no cavity dead corners and avoids any possible leakage gaps, thus providing complete creepage distance isolation that meets safety regulations while maintaining a thin and light structure.

[0049] For example, the insulating sleeve 220 is fitted over the conductive part 210 by means of adhesive wrapping.

[0050] See also Figure 5In this embodiment, the first conductive arm 211 includes a first connecting segment 2111 and a first electrical contact segment 2112. The first connecting segment 2111 is located inside the insulating sleeve 220. The first end of the first connecting segment 2111 is connected to the second conductive arm 212, and the second end of the first connecting segment 2111 is connected to the first end of the first electrical contact segment 2112. The second end of the first electrical contact segment 2112 is located outside the insulating sleeve 220.

[0051] In the above implementation, by segmenting the first conductive arm 211, the conductive part 210 retains its exposed portion while ensuring safety and insulation. The first connecting segment 2111 is hidden inside the insulating sleeve 220, which provides electrical insulation and mechanical strength support for the first connecting segment 2111. The exposed first contact segment 2112 extends the current conduction path smoothly to the external environment, providing a reliable conductive channel for subsequent effective contact with the conductive strip 1200.

[0052] See also Figure 5 For example, the first connecting segment 2111 and the first electrical connection segment 2112 are sheet-like structures, and the wall thickness of the first electrical connection segment 2112 is greater than the wall thickness of the first connecting segment 2111.

[0053] In the above implementation, by designing the wall thickness of the exposed first contact section 2112 to be greater than the wall thickness of the first connecting section 2111 encased within the insulating sleeve 220, the material thickness is allocated as needed. The relatively thinner first connecting section 2111 saves material costs and allows for a smaller outer diameter of the insulating sleeve 220, which is beneficial for lightweight design. The relatively thicker first contact section 2112 provides greater local mechanical stiffness and heat capacity, thus preventing deformation or overheating of the cantilever structure when subjected to contact friction and electrical heating, thereby improving service life.

[0054] In addition, designing both the first connecting section 2111 and the first power connection section 2112 as sheet structures can also facilitate a thinner and lighter design.

[0055] For example, the wall thickness of the first connecting section 2111 is 0.7~0.8mm, and the wall thickness of the first electrical connection section 2112 is 1.1~1.3mm.

[0056] By controlling the thickness of the first connecting section 2111 within the range of 0.7~0.8mm and the thickness of the first contact section 2112 within the range of 1.1~1.3mm during integral stamping, the overall performance of the conductive part 210 can be optimized. The thinner portion of 0.7~0.8mm balances material flexibility and lightweight, facilitating rolling and folding. The thicker portion of 1.1~1.3mm provides sufficient metal substrate for the extrusion molding of the contact 230. If the thickness of the first connecting section 2111 is less than 0.7mm, the structural strength is insufficient, and it is prone to twisting during rotation. If the thickness of the first connecting section 2111 is greater than 0.8mm, it encroaches on the space of the insulating sleeve 220, hindering the thinning process. If the thickness of the first contact section 2112 is less than 1.1mm, a sufficiently protruding contoured contact 230 cannot be extruded. If the thickness of the first contact section 2112 is greater than 1.3mm, processing becomes difficult and unnecessary costs are increased.

[0057] For example, the length directions of the first connecting segment 2111 and the first electrical connection segment 2112 are perpendicular to the rotation axis of the moving conductive member 20.

[0058] In the above implementation, by making the planes where the first connecting section 2111 and the first electrical connection section 2112 are located perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the first connecting section 2111 and the first electrical connection section 2112 are arranged horizontally (when they are assembled in the track 100 and the track socket is placed horizontally), which helps to reduce the thickness of the track 100 and achieve its lightweight design.

[0059] See also Figure 5 In this embodiment, the size of the contact 230 is greater than the wall thickness of the first contact segment 2112 in the wall thickness direction of the first contact segment 2112.

[0060] In the above implementation, since the contact 230 is directly extruded onto the first contact segment 2112, its dimension in the wall thickness direction of the first contact segment 2112 can be larger than the dimension of the first contact segment 2112. This increases the contact area between the contact 230 and the conductive strip 1200, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical connection between them. Furthermore, designing the contact 230 to be larger can provide some shielding for the first contact segment 2112, ensuring that only the contact 230 and the conductive strip 1200 are in contact. This guarantees that the contact or separation between the conductive part 210 and the conductive strip 1200 is controllable, avoiding the possibility of accidental contact.

[0061] See also Figure 5In this embodiment, the contact 230 has a disc-shaped structure, and the outer edge of the contact 230 has a first tangent 231 and a second tangent 232. The first tangent 231 and the second tangent 232 are parallel to each other, and the first tangent 231 and the second tangent 232 are located on opposite sides of the first contact segment 2112.

[0062] In the above implementation, by designing the contact 230 as a disk shape with parallel double slits, the adaptability of the contact 230 within the narrow track 100 is optimized, and interference problems are avoided.

[0063] It is worth noting that the size of the contact 230 in the wall thickness direction of the first contact segment 2112 is the distance between the first cross-section 231 and the second cross-section 232.

[0064] For example, the distance between the first cut surface 231 and the second cut surface 232 is 1.55~1.65mm.

[0065] For example, the distance between the first cut surface 231 and the second cut surface 232 should be greater than the wall thickness of the first electrical connection section 2112, but less than the overall thickness of the insulating sleeve 220 sleeved outside the first connection section 2111.

[0066] This design effectively avoids interference between contact 230 and other components.

[0067] Figure 6 This is a view of the conductive part from direction A. Figure 6 The perspective is Figure 5 A-direction perspective, combined Figure 6 In this embodiment, the second end of the first contact segment 2112 has an arc-shaped side 2113, so that the width of the first contact segment 2112 gradually decreases along the direction from its first end to its second end, and the contact point 230 is located on the arc-shaped side 2113.

[0068] In the above implementation, by providing a tapered arc side 2113 at the second end of the first contact segment 2112 and arranging contacts 230 thereon, the rotational passability of the second end of the first contact segment 2112 is improved. The gradually decreasing width eliminates the right-angled square side of the second end of the first contact segment 2112, making the rotational contour of the first contact segment 2112 smooth and rounded.

[0069] Additionally, in the disconnected state, contact 230 is not in contact with the conductive strip 1200, and at this time, the first contact segment 2112 is retracted within the guide 30 of the main body 10 (see...). Figure 2(Upper side). Because the arc side 2113 causes the width of the first contact section 2112 to gradually decrease along its direction from the first end to the second end, the contact 230 located on the arc side 2113 can be accommodated inside the guide 30 without protruding outside the guide 30.

[0070] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, the second end of the first power-connecting segment 2112 has a clearance notch 2114, which is located on the other side of the opposite arc side 2113 of the first power-connecting segment 2112.

[0071] In the above implementation, by setting the clearance gap 2114, the space occupied by the second end of the first power-connecting segment 2112 is further freed up. The existence of the clearance gap 2114 gives the first power-connecting segment 2112 additional fault tolerance space when it retracts into the guide member 30, reducing friction and interference between structures.

[0072] See you again Figure 5 In this embodiment, the second conductive arm 212 includes a second connecting segment 2121 and a second electrical connection segment 2122. The second connecting segment 2121 is located inside the insulating sleeve 220. The first end of the second connecting segment 2121 is connected to the first end of the first connecting segment 2111, and the second end of the second connecting segment 2121 is connected to the first end of the second electrical connection segment 2122. The second end of the second electrical connection segment 2122 is located outside the insulating sleeve 220.

[0073] In the above implementation, the second connecting section 2121 located inside the insulating sleeve 220 provides a path for current to be transmitted from the axis to the lateral branch, while the exposed second electrical contact section 2122 is used to extend into the internal structure of the main body 10 and make electrical contact with the hardware inside.

[0074] In this embodiment, the second connecting segment 2121 is a sheet-like structure, the second electrical connection segment 2122 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and the wall thickness of the second connecting segment 2121 is the same as the wall thickness of the second electrical connection segment 2122.

[0075] In the above implementation, this disclosure designs the second contact section 2122 as a hollow cylindrical structure, giving it excellent insertion guidance and connection functions. The hollow cylindrical structure saves material while simultaneously achieving rotational fit and electrical contact. Furthermore, by maintaining the wall thickness of the second contact section 2122 consistent with that of the sheet-like second connecting section 2121, no thickness reduction or thickening is required during continuous stamping or rolling of the metal sheet, maintaining the uniformity of the cross-sectional area of ​​the entire conductive path and avoiding sudden increases in resistance or heating bottlenecks caused by localized thinning.

[0076] For example, the wall thickness of the second connecting section 2121 and the second electrical connection section 2122 is 0.7~0.8mm.

[0077] In this embodiment, the second end of the second connecting segment 2121 has a bent segment 2123. One end of the bent segment 2123 is connected to the edge of the second power-connecting segment 2122, and the other end of the bent segment 2123 bends and extends to the axis of the second power-connecting segment 2122 and connects to the second connecting segment 2121, so that the second connecting segment 2121 can extend along the axis of the second power-connecting segment 2122.

[0078] Since the second connecting section 2121 and the second electrical contact section 2122 are stamped together, the second connecting section 2121 extends from the end edge of the second electrical contact section 2122. If the second connecting section 2121 were to extend directly, it would result in an eccentric arrangement between the two sections. To ensure coaxial arrangement between the second connecting section 2121 and the second electrical contact section 2122, a bent section 2123 is provided. The bent section 2123 forcibly gathers and connects the material at the edge of the hollow cylinder towards the center, thus physically aligning the flat second connecting section 2121 with the axis of the hollow cylinder, which is also the axis of rotation of the entire conductive part 210. This ensures that the entire moving conductive part 20 does not experience unstable stress due to eccentricity when rotating around its axis.

[0079] In addition, by setting the bending section 2123, the stability of the fit between the insulating sleeve 220 and the conductive part 210 can be improved, preventing the conductive part 210 from coming off the insulating sleeve 220.

[0080] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the insulating sleeve 220 further includes a reinforcing rib 223, which is located at the angle between the first rubber sleeve 221 and the second rubber sleeve 222, and the reinforcing rib 223 is connected to the first rubber sleeve 221 and the second rubber sleeve 222 respectively.

[0081] In the above implementation, by adding a reinforcing rib 223 at the weak angle where the two insulating sleeves meet, the overall structural rigidity of the insulating sleeve 220 is significantly improved. The reinforcing rib 223 provides reliable support at the corner node where the force is greater. When the moving conductive component 20 generates torque under external force, it can effectively resist it, thereby preventing the insulating sleeve 220 from tearing or breaking at this location, ensuring the safety and durability of the product.

[0082] Correspondingly, a reinforcing rib 213 is also provided at the connection between the first connecting segment 2111 and the second connecting segment 2121 to enhance the structural strength. The two ends of the reinforcing rib 213 extend from the first connecting segment 2111 and the second connecting segment 2121, respectively.

[0083] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the insulating sleeve 220 also includes a rudder 224, which is located inside the main body 10 and can swing relative to the main body 10.

[0084] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the adapter provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, in conjunction with... Figure 7 In this embodiment, the inner wall of the main body 10 has a limiting protrusion 120. When the contact point 230 retracts to the guide, the limiting protrusion 120 abuts against the rudder 224.

[0085] In the above implementation, the rudder 224 is stopped by the limiting protrusion 120, which can limit the recovery stroke of the moving conductive component and avoid the first energized section 2112 from contacting the inner wall of the guide component due to excessive recovery, which would cause the inner wall of the guide component to be burned.
