DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following describes the preferred implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. The directional words such as "upper" and "lower" involved in this article are all relative to the viewing angle of the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of description and cannot be understood as limitations on the technical solution. The "first, second..." used are only used to distinguish the names and do not represent specific quantities and orders.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the utility model provides an adapter, the adapter includes a shell 1, a socket assembly 2, a limit assembly 3 and a conductive assembly 4, the shell 1 includes a shell 5 and a guide shell 6, the guide shell 6 is provided with a first limit groove 8, the guide shell 6 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the shell 5, specifically, the bottom of the shell 5 is provided with a bayonet 7, the guide shell 6 is clamped in the bayonet 7, and the guide shell can move within the range of the bayonet 7. The socket assembly 2 is clamped in the interior of the shell 5, the socket assembly 2 is used to provide a power interface, and the upper surface of the shell 5 is adaptively provided with a socket corresponding to the power interface, so as to facilitate the electrical appliance to connect to the power supply. The limit assembly 3 includes a limit member 10, a button 11, a first elastic member 12 and a second elastic member 13, preferably, a groove body for accommodating the limit member 10 is provided on the side wall of the socket assembly 2, the limit member 10 is clamped on the side wall of the socket assembly 2 and can move along the direction of the socket assembly 2, the bottom of the limit member 10 is clamped in the first limit groove 8, specifically, the bottom of the limit member 10 has a protrusion. The button 11 is exposed outside the housing 5. Specifically, the side wall of the housing 5 is provided with a through hole, and the button 11 passes through the through hole and is exposed outside the housing 5. One end of the first elastic member 12 is connected to the button 11, and the other end of the first elastic member 12 acts on the side wall of the plug assembly 2. One end of the second elastic member 13 is connected to the top of the limit member 10, and the other end of the second elastic member 13 acts on the inner wall of the housing 5. The first elastic member 12 and the second elastic member 13 are preferably springs. The conductive component is exposed in the guide shell and can rotate in the guide shell. Specifically, the guide shell is provided with an opening 9, and the conductive component 4 is exposed in the opening 9. The other end of the conductive component 4 passes through the guide shell 6 and the bottom of the housing 5 in sequence to be electrically connected to the plug assembly 2, so as to connect the plug assembly 2 to the power supply. When the adapter is assembled in the track 32 socket, the conductive component 4 and the guide shell 6 are both engaged on the track 32. The guide shell 6 can only slide along the length of the track 32 but cannot rotate. The box body cannot rotate because the limiting part is in the limiting groove. When the user wants to remove the adapter from the track 32, he needs to press the button 11, thereby compressing the first elastic member 12, so that most of the buttons 11 are separated from the through holes on the side wall of the shell 5. The second elastic member 13 drives the limiting member 10 to move upward, thereby causing the bottom of the limiting member 10 to separate from the limiting groove. At this time, the user can rotate the shell 5 and drive the conductive component 4 to rotate until the conductive component 4 is parallel to the track 32 socket to remove the adapter. Therefore, through the above-mentioned adapter, it is not only convenient to disassemble the adapter from the track 32, but also the internal structure is relatively simple, which can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the adapter also includes a rotating component, which includes a rotating wheel 14, a toggle block 15 and a metal seesaw 16. The socket component 2 is contacted and connected with the conductive component 4 through the metal seesaw 16. The rotating wheel 14 is rotatably set in the shell 5. The rotating wheel 14 is used to drive the toggle block 15. More specifically, the rotating wheel 14 is provided with a transmission block 22, and the transmission block 22 is provided with a third accommodating groove 23 for accommodating the toggle block 15. The toggle block 15 is arranged inside the shell 5 and is used to toggle the metal seesaw 16. More specifically, a support block 21 is provided in the shell 5, and the toggle block 15 can be swingably set between the support blocks 21. When the rotating wheel 14 is rotated, the transmission block 22 is driven, and the transmission block 22 causes the toggle block 15 to swing, thereby controlling the disconnection and closing of the metal seesaw 16 and the conductive component 4, thereby realizing the power-on and power-off functions of a single adapter.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the socket assembly 2 includes a live socket, a neutral socket and a ground socket, and the conductive assembly 4 includes a live conductive sheet 28, a neutral conductive sheet 27 and a ground contact sheet 29.

In addition, a clamping portion 31 is provided on both sides of the reinforcement member 30. The clamping portion 31 has a clamping groove, which is clamped to the clamping plate in the track 32 through the clamping groove, thereby preventing the adapter from falling off the track 32.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, a first accommodating groove 17 is provided on one side of the guide shell 6, and a second accommodating groove 18 symmetrical to the first accommodating groove 17 is provided on the other side of the guide shell 6. When the conductive component 4 is rotated, the first accommodating groove 17 and the second accommodating groove 18 are used to accommodate the neutral wire conductive sheet 27 and the live wire conductive sheet 28 to avoid damage to the neutral wire conductive sheet 27 or the live wire conductive sheet 28 when the distributor is removed. A first through hole 19 is provided at the bottom of the guide shell 6, and the ground wire contact sheet 29 passes through the first through hole 19 to contact the ground wire conductive plate in the track 32.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the bayonet 7 is annular and there are three of them, which are distributed around the bottom of the shell 5. Under the action of the three annular bayonet 7, the shell 5 and the guide shell 6 can rotate freely relative to each other.

[0042] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the utility model also provides a track socket, including an adapter and a track 32. The adapter is engaged in the track 32. The track socket not only has the beneficial effects of the adapter, which will not be elaborated here, but also the adapter can move along the length of the track 32 to meet the needs of different users.

[0043] For other structures of the adapter and the track socket described in the utility model, refer to the prior art.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention.
