When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0037] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in the present utility model are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0038] The embodiment of the utility model provides a conversion socket for converting one power interface into another power interface to meet the power plug standards of different countries or regions, so that electrical appliances in different countries around the world can be used in other countries.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The conversion socket provided in the first embodiment of the utility model includes a housing 100, a pin assembly 200, a locking assembly 300 and an unlocking assembly 400. The housing 100 is used as the main frame of the conversion socket to integrate the various components of the conversion socket into a whole, and the housing 100 can protect the various components of the conversion socket and prevent the various components from being collided by external forces.

[0040] The pin assembly 200 includes a sliding bracket 201 and a pin 202 for mating with an external socket. The sliding bracket 201 can be movably arranged in the shell 100. The pin 202 is connected to the sliding bracket 201, and the sliding bracket 201 can drive the pin 202 to move relative to the shell 100 under the action of external force and make one end of the pin 202 extend out of the shell 100.

[0041] In this embodiment, the pin assembly 200 is provided with two or more to adapt to sockets of different standards, such as sockets of the British standard (UK), sockets of the American standard (US), sockets of the European standard (EU), sockets of the Australian standard (AUS), etc. Obviously, the pin assembly 200 is not limited to three, and can be less than three or more. When encountering different types of sockets during international travel or domestic use, various electronic devices can be used through the conversion socket of the embodiment of the utility model without being affected by the mismatch of the sockets.

[0042] The locking assembly 300 includes a locking bracket 301 and a first reset member 302. The locking bracket 301 is movably disposed in the housing 100 and is connected to the sliding bracket 201. The locking bracket 301 can move relative to the housing 100 under the drive of the sliding bracket 201. The first reset member 302 is connected to the locking bracket 301. The first reset member 302 is used to drive the locking bracket 301 to reset when the sliding bracket 201 moves to the locking position to lock the sliding bracket 201.

[0043] The unlocking assembly 400 includes a button 401 and a second reset member 402. One end of the button 401 is inserted into the housing 100, and the other end of the button 401 is exposed outside the housing 100, so that the user can control the movement of the button 401. The button 401 is used to push the locking bracket 301 to move relative to the sliding bracket 201 under the action of an external force to release the sliding bracket 201. The second reset member 402 is connected to the button 401. The second reset member 402 is used to drive the button 401 to reset when the external force on the button 401 is removed so that the button 401 is separated from the locking bracket 301.

[0044] Exemplarily, the first reset member 302 and the second reset member 402 may be coil springs, and the number of the first reset member 302 and the second reset member 402 may be one or more. If a plurality of first reset members 302 and second reset members 402 are provided, the reset stability of the sliding bracket 201 and the button 401 may be improved. Of course, in other embodiments, the first reset member 302 and the second reset member 402 may also be other elastic elements such as springs, as long as they provide a restoring force to make the sliding bracket 201 and the button 401 have a tendency to reset, and are not limited thereto.

[0045] In this embodiment, the button 401 pushes the locking bracket 301 to move relative to the sliding bracket 201 to release the sliding bracket 201, thereby realizing the unlocking function of the pin 202; after the release operation is completed, the button 401 is separated from the locking bracket 301, and at this time the button 401 and the locking bracket 301 will not be linked, and the sliding bracket 201 in the released state can drive the pin 202 to move relative to the shell 100 under the action of external force and make one end of the pin 202 extend out of the shell 100, while driving the locking bracket 301 to move relative to the shell 100. When the sliding bracket 201 moves to the locked position, the first reset member 302 drives the locking bracket 301 to reset to lock the sliding bracket 201, thereby realizing the locking function of the pin 202, so that the pin 202 cannot be retracted into the shell 100, so as to remain extended out of the shell 100 for plugging and mating with an external socket.

[0046] In the technical solution of the utility model, when the user pushes the pin 202 to extend out of the shell 100, the locking bracket 301 moves, while the button 401 remains stationary, thereby reducing the friction generated when the pin 202 extends out of the shell 100, avoiding jamming and making the operation smooth and labor-saving.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 The sliding bracket 201 can slide relative to the shell 100 along the first direction under the action of external force, the locking bracket 301 can slide relative to the shell 100 along the second direction driven by the sliding bracket 201, and the button 401 can move relative to the locking bracket 301 along the third direction under the action of external force.

[0048] The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are three mutually perpendicular directions. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first direction may be the Z-axis direction of the Cartesian coordinate system, the second direction may be the Y-axis direction of the Cartesian coordinate system, and the third direction may be the X-axis direction of the Cartesian coordinate system. For example, when the button 401 slides back and forth relative to the housing 100, the locking bracket 301 slides back and forth relative to the housing 100, and the sliding bracket 201 slides back and forth relative to the housing 100. Of course, this is only exemplary and not limited to this.

[0049] In some embodiments, the locking bracket 301 is provided with a driving inclined surface 303 extending along the second direction, and the button 401 can move along the third direction under the action of external force and act on the driving inclined surface 303 to drive the locking bracket 301 to slide relative to the shell 100 along the second direction.

[0050] In this embodiment, the button 401 cooperates with the driving inclined surface 303 to convert the displacement of the pressing in the third direction into the displacement of the locking bracket 301 in the second direction. The cooperation between the two is simple and the operation is stable.

[0051] Furthermore, an end of the button 401 that acts on the driving inclined surface 303 is provided with an action inclined surface corresponding thereto, and the action inclined surface cooperates with the driving inclined surface 303 to make the movement of the locking bracket 301 more stable and reduce the wear between the two.

[0052] In some embodiments, the locking bracket 301 has a first clamping portion (not shown) and a second clamping portion (not shown) extending along the first direction, and the first clamping portion is used to cooperate with the sliding bracket 201 to lock the sliding bracket 201; the second clamping portion is used to cooperate with the sliding bracket 201 to lock the sliding bracket 201, and the sliding bracket 201 can be separated from the second clamping portion and move along the first direction under the action of external force, and cooperate with the first clamping portion to lock the sliding bracket 201.

[0053] Exemplarily, the first clamping portion is disposed near the surface of the housing 100 from which the pin 202 extends. When the sliding bracket 201 is engaged with the first clamping portion to lock the sliding bracket 201, the pin 202 is in a state of extending out of the housing 100 and can be used to engage with an external socket. Due to the locking effect of the first clamping portion, the pin 202 cannot be retracted into the housing 100 to ensure that the pin 202 is engaged with the external socket.

[0054] Correspondingly, the second clamping portion is arranged away from the surface of the shell 100 from which the pin 202 extends. When the sliding bracket 201 is engaged with the second clamping portion to lock the sliding bracket 201, the pin 202 is in a state of being retracted into the shell 100, so that the pin 202 will not extend out of the shell 100 due to artificial shaking or its own gravity, which is convenient for storage and carrying.

[0055] In some embodiments, the locking bracket 301 is connected to a snap-in component 304 extending along the first direction, the first snap-in portion is a first snap-in groove 305 recessed in the snap-in component 304, the second snap-in portion is a second snap-in groove 306 recessed in the snap-in component 304, the first snap-in groove 305 and the second snap-in groove 306 are spaced apart, the first snap-in groove 305 is used to engage with the sliding bracket 201 to lock the sliding bracket 201, and the second snap-in groove 306 is used to engage with the sliding bracket 201 to lock the sliding bracket 201.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are respectively groove-type structures, which are simple in structure, convenient for processing and molding, and convenient for locking and unlocking the sliding bracket 201.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, when the second slot 306 is engaged with the sliding bracket 201, the pin 202 is in a state of being retracted into the shell 100. At this time, the pin 202 will not extend out of the shell 100 due to human shaking or its own gravity; when the user applies force to the sliding bracket 201, the sliding bracket 201 disengages from the second slot 306 and can slide along the first direction, driving the pin 202 to move relative to the shell 100 and making one end of the pin 202 extend out of the shell 100, while driving the locking bracket 301 to move relative to the shell 100.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, when the sliding bracket 201 moves to the locking position, that is, the sliding bracket 201 moves to the first slot 305, the first reset member 302 drives the locking bracket 301 to reset, so that the sliding bracket 201 is engaged with the first slot 305 to lock the sliding bracket 201, thereby realizing the locking function of the pin 202, so that the pin 202 cannot be retracted into the shell 100, so as to remain extended out of the shell 100 for plugging and mating with an external socket.

[0059] In some embodiments, the groove wall of the second groove 306 adjacent to the first groove 305 is inclined along the first direction, so that the sliding bracket 201 can move along the inclined surface under the action of external force to disengage from the second groove 306. The plug can be pushed out of the shell 100 without operating the button 401, which is easy and labor-saving.

[0060] Exemplarily, the inclined surface may be a curved surface, which further reduces the friction between the sliding bracket 201 and the wall of the second slot 306 , so that the sliding bracket 201 slides smoothly under the action of external force.

[0061] In some embodiments, the wall of the first slot 305 adjacent to the second slot 306 is perpendicular to the first direction, which can prevent the sliding bracket 201 from being easily separated from the first slot 305, so that the pin 202 cannot be retracted into the housing 100 and remains extended out of the housing 100. The sliding bracket 201 can only be unlocked when the button 401 pushes the locking bracket 301 to move relative to the sliding bracket 201.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sliding bracket 201 is connected to a slider 203 extending toward the locking bracket 301, and the slider 203 is used to cooperate with the first slot 305 to lock the sliding bracket 201, and is used to cooperate with the second slot 306 to lock the sliding bracket 201.

[0063] In this embodiment, the connection and locking of the sliding bracket 201 and the locking bracket 301 can be achieved by the engagement of the slider 203 with the first and second slots 305 and 306 . The structure is simple, the connection is quick, and the structural interference between the sliding bracket 201 and the locking bracket 301 is reduced.

[0064] Preferably, the contact surface between the slider 203 and the clamping member 304 is an arc surface, which can reduce the friction between the slider 203 and the clamping member 304, so that the slider 203 can slide smoothly along the clamping member 304, thereby realizing the reciprocating sliding of the slider 203 between the second clamping groove 306 and the first clamping groove 305.

[0065] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 The housing 100 includes a first side surface 101 and a second side surface 102 , the first side surface 101 is connected to the second side surface 102 , and one end of the button 401 is exposed on the first side surface 101 ;

[0066] The pin assembly 200 further includes a sliding button 204, which can be slidably disposed in the housing 100, and one end of the sliding button 204 is connected to the sliding bracket 201, and the other end of the sliding button 204 is exposed to the second side surface 102. The sliding button 204 can drive the sliding bracket 201 and the pin 202 to move relative to the housing 100 under the action of an external force, and make one end of the pin 202 extend out of the housing 100. The user can push and pull the sliding bracket 201 through the sliding button 204, so as to achieve the extension and retraction of the pin 202.

[0067] In some embodiments, the shell 100 also includes a third side 103, and one end of the pin 202 extends through the third side 103; wherein the first side 101, the second side 102 and the third side 103 are interconnected, and the structural distribution is reasonable, which is convenient for the user to control the movement of the slide button 204 and the button 401 from different sides.

[0068] The above embodiments of the utility model are merely examples for clearly explaining the utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to list all the implementation methods here. All obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solution of the utility model are still within the scope of protection of the utility model.
