[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] The structure of the socket adapter with a spring mechanism in this embodiment is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes an adapter body 1, and a drive ring 2 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the adapter body 1. The drive ring 2 can rotate within a certain angle range. For example, the rotation angle of the drive ring 2 is set to 30 degrees. A positioning frame 11 is fixed inside the adapter body 1, and a bouncing mechanism is provided between the positioning frame 11 and the drive ring 2. During the rotation of the drive ring 2, the bouncing mechanism first stores energy and then releases the stored energy to cause the drive ring 2 to rotate into place. The state change of the bouncing mechanism when the drive ring 2 is rotated to store energy and the state change of the bouncing mechanism when the stored energy is released can make the operator have an obvious change in hand feel, and when the bouncing mechanism releases the stored energy, a driving force is generated on the drive ring 2, which can cause the drive ring 2 to rotate into place, and when the drive ring 2 is rotated into place, the elastic effect of the bouncing mechanism can enhance the holding force on the drive ring 2 to prevent the drive ring 2 from rotating easily, thereby improving the structural stability.

[0020] For details, see Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the positioning frame 11 is provided with a receiving groove 12, and the inner end of the receiving groove 12 is provided with a groove 13 opening outward, and the bouncing mechanism is arranged in the receiving groove 12; the bouncing mechanism includes a booster spring 14 and a pin head 15, the outer end of the booster spring 14 is positioned and connected with the driving ring 2, and the pin head 15 is connected to the inner end of the booster spring 14 and forms a conflicting fit with the groove 13, and applies a torsional force to the booster spring 14 when controlling the rotation of the driving ring 2, and drives the booster spring 14 to bend and deform to store energy, and after the booster spring 14 passes the critical point, it can release the elastic force to drive the driving ring 2 to assist the driving ring 2 to rotate into place. Preferably, when the driving ring 2 rotates into place, the booster spring contacts the corresponding side wall of the receiving groove 12 to increase stability; and the rotation angle of the driving ring 2 can also be limited by the limiting effect of the side wall of the receiving groove 12.

[0021] As a preferred option, continue to see Figures 3 to 5Two adjacent and connected grooves 13 are provided at the inner end of the receiving groove 12, and a convex ridge 16 protruding outward is formed between the two grooves 13. The cross section of the convex ridge 16 is triangular, and the outer tip is arc-shaped. In this way, when the driving ring 2 rotates, the pin head 15 can quickly bounce and switch between the two grooves 13 through the convex ridge 16 under the action of the booster spring, changing the force direction of the booster spring at the critical point, ensuring that the booster spring 14 can jump reliably. The two sides of the receiving groove 12 are provided with convex parts 17 protruding toward each other at the opening of the groove 13. In this way, when the driving ring 2 rotates a certain angle, the convex part 17 can serve as a fulcrum to support the booster spring 14 from the side, prompting the pin head 15 to jump from the current groove 13 to another groove 15, so as to accelerate the release of the elastic force of the booster spring 14, thereby ensuring the use effect of the bouncing mechanism. As a variant, in actual operation, only one groove 13 can be provided at the inner end of the receiving groove 12. The groove 15 in this embodiment may be an arc-shaped groove, or a triangular groove, or a trapezoidal groove that is wide outside and narrow inside.

[0022] In this embodiment, the inner end of the booster spring 14 is sleeved on the outer end of the pin head 15, and the inner end of the pin head 15 is a hemispherical structure, so that the pin head 15 can move flexibly and smoothly in the groove 13; the inner wall of the drive ring 2 is provided with a positioning cam 21 protruding inward, and the outer end of the booster spring 14 is sleeved on the positioning cam 21, so that the booster spring 14 can be effectively connected with the drive ring 2 and the pin head 15, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure.

[0023] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
