For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in the field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0032] The socket adapter in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the adapter is a socket module with a complete structure, in which a socket that is plugged with a plug is arranged inside, and a socket is arranged on the upper cover 12 of the adapter. When in use, the plug is inserted into the socket and plugged into the socket to draw power.

[0033] The adapter body 1 includes an adapter body 1, wherein a switch assembly for controlling the power on and off is arranged inside the adapter body 1; a rotating ring 2 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the adapter body 1, and the switch assembly is triggered by controlling the rotating ring 2; an L-pole socket 11 for plugging with the L-pole pin on the plug and an L-pole conductor for connecting the L-pole of the power supply are arranged inside the adapter body 1, and the switch assembly includes two static conductors 3 respectively connected to the L-pole socket 11 and the L-pole conductor and a moving conductor 4 swingably arranged between the two static conductors 3, and when the rotating ring 2 rotates, the moving conductor 4 is driven to swing between a connected position where it contacts the two static conductors 3 at the same time and a disconnected position where it contacts the two static conductors 3 at different times; in the present application, a switch assembly is arranged on the L-pole, and the moving conductor 4 is driven to swing between the connected position and the disconnected position by holding the rotating ring 2 and rotating it, thereby controlling the switch assembly inside the adapter body 1 to be connected and disconnected, and then controlling the adapter to be powered on and off, so as to meet the use needs, and the operation is very convenient, the operation feel is significantly improved, and the user experience is greatly improved.

[0034] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, the adapter body 1 is provided with a mounting cavity for mounting the switch assembly, and a movable contact 5 is swingably disposed in the mounting cavity, and the movable contact 5 abuts against the movable conductor 4, and the movable contact 5 is linked with the rotating ring 2, and when the rotating ring 2 rotates, the movable contact 5 is driven to swing and the movable conductor 4 is driven to swing, and the movable conductor 4 is supported on one of the static conductors 3 so that the two are always in contact, and when the movable contact 5 swings, the movable conductor 4 is driven to swing with the static conductor 3 as a fulcrum, and then the state switching of the switch assembly is controlled by contacting and separating with the other static conductor 3. Exemplarily, the mounting cavity is formed between the mounting frame 13 and the cover plate 10, and the cover plate 10 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 13.

[0035] Continue to view Figure 4 As shown, the moving contact 5 includes a moving contact seat 51 with a mounting hole at one end, and a pressure spring 52 and a pin 53 installed in the mounting hole. The pressure spring 52 provides elastic force for the pin 53, so that the pin 53 contacts the moving conductor 4. The moving contact seat 51 is linked with the rotating ring 2, so that when the rotating ring 2 is controlled to rotate, the pin 53 is driven to slide relatively on the moving conductor 4, so that the moving conductor 4 swings with the corresponding static conductor 3 as a fulcrum.

[0036] like Figure 7As shown, a positioning shaft 54 ​​is provided on the movable contact seat 51, and a positioning hole 55 is provided on the side wall of the installation cavity. The movable contact 5 can be swingably arranged in the installation cavity through the cooperation of the positioning shaft 54 ​​and the positioning hole 55, so that the structure is simple and easy to assemble; in order to further improve the installation stability of the movable contact seat 51, the positioning shaft 54 ​​is provided on the upper and lower sides of the movable contact seat 51, and the positioning holes 55 are correspondingly provided on the upper and lower side walls of the installation cavity; in actual operation, the positioning shaft 54 ​​can also be provided only on the upper side or the lower side of the movable contact seat 51.

[0037] See also Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, a connecting shaft 56 is provided on the moving contact seat 51, and a driving plate 21 is provided on the inner side of the rotating ring 2. The driving plate 21 is movably connected with the connecting shaft 56, and when the rotating ring 2 rotates, the moving contact 5 is driven to swing through the cooperation between the driving plate 21 and the connecting shaft 56. Specifically, when the rotating ring 2 is controlled to rotate, the driving plate 21 is driven to rotate, and then the driving plate 21 generates a thrust on the connecting shaft 56, driving the moving contact 5 to swing with the positioning shaft 54 ​​as the axis.

[0038] In order to facilitate the cooperation between the driving plate 21 and the connecting shaft 56, a driving groove 22 is set on the driving plate 21 in this embodiment, and the connecting shaft 56 extends into the driving groove 22, so that when the rotating ring 2 rotates, the connecting shaft 56 is pushed through the side wall of the driving groove 22, thereby driving the moving contact member 5 to swing. The structure is simple and easy to assemble.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a mounting frame 13 is provided inside the adapter body 1, and a bouncing mechanism is provided between the mounting frame 13 and the rotating ring 2. During the rotation process, the bouncing mechanism first stores energy and then releases the stored energy to cause the rotating ring 2 to rotate into place, thereby making the movement of the rotating ring 2 crisper and smoother, and when the moving conductor 4 is respectively in the on position and the off position, the elastic force released by the bouncing mechanism provides a holding force for the rotating ring 2, which can prevent the rotating ring 2 from rotating easily and ensure the stability of the state of the switch assembly.

[0040] For details, see Figure 8As shown, the mounting frame 13 is provided with a mounting groove 14, and the inner end of the mounting groove 14 is provided with a groove socket 15 opening outward, and the bouncing mechanism is arranged in the mounting groove 14; the bouncing mechanism includes a bouncing spring 16 and a pin head 17, and the bouncing spring 16 is a spiral compression spring, and its outer end is positioned and connected with the rotating ring 2, and the pin head 17 is connected to the inner end of the bouncing spring 16 and cooperates with the groove socket 15. When controlling the rotation of the rotating ring 2, a torsion force is applied to the bouncing spring 16, and the bouncing spring 16 is driven to bend and deform, and after the bouncing spring 16 passes the critical point, the elastic force can be released to assist the rotating ring 2, so as to prompt the rotating ring 2 to rotate into place.

[0041] As a preferred solution, Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, two adjacent and connected grooves 15 are provided at the inner end of the installation groove 14, and a convex ridge 18 protruding outward is formed between the two grooves 15. The cross-section of the convex ridge 18 is triangular, and the tip of the outer end is arc-shaped. In this way, when the rotating ring 2 rotates, the pin head 17 can pass through the convex ridge 19 and quickly bounce and switch between the two grooves 15 under the action of the bounce spring, thereby changing the force direction of the bounce spring at the critical point and ensuring that the bounce spring 16 can bounce reliably. Protrusions 19 protruding toward each other are provided on both sides of the installation groove 14 at the opening of the groove 15. In this way, during the rotation of the rotating ring 2, the protrusion 19 can serve as a fulcrum to support the bounce spring 16 from the side, prompting the pin head 17 to bounce and switch from the current groove 15 to another groove 17, thereby ensuring the use effect of the bounce mechanism; as a variation, in actual operation, only one of the grooves 15 can be provided at the inner end of the installation groove 14. 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.

[0042] See also Figure 3 As shown, the inner end of the bounce spring 16 is sleeved on the outer end of the pin head 17, and the inner end of the pin head 17 is a hemispherical structure; the inner wall of the rotating ring 2 is provided with a positioning cam 23 protruding inward, and the outer end of the bounce spring 16 is sleeved on the positioning cam 23, so that the bounce spring 16 can be effectively connected with the rotating ring 2 and the pin head 17 to ensure the stability of the structure.

[0043] 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.
