Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electrical connection devices, and particularly to an adapter and a power rail socket. Background Art
[0002] A power rail socket generally includes an adapter and a power rail that are connected. The adapter is electrically connected to the power rail, and the adapter can slide on the power rail, so that the position of the adapter on the power rail can be adjusted according to user needs, making the power rail socket have the advantage of flexible configuration and meeting the user's needs for different positions of the socket. In the case where one adapter does not meet the customer's needs, an additional adapter can also be added on the power rail to meet the customer's needs. The power rail socket is electrically connected to the power supply line through the power rail, so that the power rail socket can provide electrical energy for electrical appliances.
[0003] An adapter generally includes a switch. By adjusting the usage state of the switch, the adapter can be switched between the on state and the off state.
[0004] Based on the structure of the existing adapter, during the process of an operator adjusting the usage state of the adapter, a stuck situation is likely to occur, affecting the user experience of the adapter. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] This application provides an adapter and a power rail socket to reduce the possibility of getting stuck during the switching of the usage state of the adapter and improve the user experience.
[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides an adapter for a power rail socket. The adapter includes a face cover, a housing assembly, and an elastic component. The face cover is provided with at least one set of jacks, and one side of the face cover is provided with an abutting structure. The housing assembly is sleeved outside the face cover, and the housing assembly is rotatable relative to the face cover to switch the adapter to the on state or the off state. The inner side wall of the housing assembly is provided with a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure at intervals. The first end of the elastic component abuts against the abutting structure, and the second end of the elastic component abuts against the inner side wall of the housing assembly. When the adapter is in the on state, the second end of the elastic component is clamped to the first limiting structure, and when the adapter is in the off state, the second end of the elastic component is clamped to the second limiting structure. Wherein, the end of the second end of the elastic component is provided with a first guiding surface, and the first guiding surface cooperates with the first limiting structure, or the first guiding surface cooperates with the second limiting structure.
[0007] Based on the adapter provided in the above example, the face cover is provided with jacks, and the plug of the electrical appliance can pass through the jacks and then be electrically connected to the adapter. By rotating the housing assembly, the usage state of the adapter can be adjusted to switch the adapter between the on state and the off state.
[0008] Since the first end of the elastic component abuts against the abutment structure, and the abutment structure is connected to the face cover, when the shell assembly rotates relative to the face cover, the shell assembly can rotate relative to the elastic component, so that the position abutted by the second end of the elastic component can be switched between the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure.
[0009] In addition, since the end of the second end of the elastic component can be provided with a first guide surface, when the abutting position of the second end of the elastic component switches between the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure, through the cooperation of the first guide surface and the first limiting structure, or the cooperation of the first guide surface and the second limiting structure, the possibility of jamming at the abutting position of the elastic component during the switching process between the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure can be reduced, thereby making the switching process of the adapter between the on state and the off state smoother, thereby improving the user experience.
[0010] In some possible implementations, the first guide surface is an inclined surface or a curved surface.
[0011] Regardless of whether the first guide surface is set as a slope or an arc surface, during the use of the adapter, the slope or the arc surface can cooperate with the first limiting structure, or the slope or the arc surface can cooperate with the second limiting structure, which can reduce the possibility of jamming at the position where the elastic component abuts during the switching process between the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure, thereby making the switching process of the adapter between the on state and the off state smoother, thereby improving the user experience.
[0012] In some possible implementations, the elastic component includes an elastic member and a sphere. One end of the elastic member abuts against the abutment structure. The sphere is connected to an end of the elastic member away from the abutment structure, and a side of the sphere facing the first limiting structure abuts against the inner side wall of the housing component.
[0013] Since the surface of the sphere is generally in an arc shape, during the use of the adapter, the end of the sphere away from the elastic member can cooperate with the first limiting structure, or the end of the sphere away from the elastic member can cooperate with the second limiting structure, thereby reducing the possibility of jamming at the position where the elastic component abuts during the switching process between the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure, thereby making the switching process of the adapter between the on state and the off state smoother, thereby improving the user experience.
[0014] In some possible implementations, the first limiting structure is provided with a second guide surface, and the inclination direction of the second guide surface is adapted to the assembly direction of the elastic component to the first limiting structure. And / or, the second limiting structure is provided with a third guide surface, and the inclination direction of the third guide surface is adapted to the assembly direction of the elastic component to the second limiting structure.
[0015] By setting the second guiding surface, during the assembly process of the elastic component and the first limiting structure, the elastic component can be made to contact the part with the largest dimension of the first limiting structure, and gradually cooperate with the first limiting structure via the second guiding surface, making the cooperation between the elastic component and the first limiting component structure smoother. The function of the third guiding surface is similar to that of the second guiding surface, and will not be elaborated here in this application example.
[0016] In some possible implementation manners, the face cover includes a panel. The abutting structure includes an abutting plate, and the abutting plate is disposed on the side of the panel facing the elastic component. The first end of the elastic component abuts against the abutting plate, and the second end of the elastic component abuts against the inner side wall of the housing component.
[0017] The first end of the elastic component abuts against the abutting plate, and the second end of the elastic component abuts against the inner side wall of the housing component, so that the elastic component can be connected between the abutting plate and the inner side wall of the housing component. Also, since the abutting plate and the inner side wall of the housing component can apply acting forces to the elastic component in opposite directions, the positional relationship of the elastic component relative to the abutting plate and the housing component can be defined along the direction from the abutting plate to the elastic component. Furthermore, the possibility of relative displacement of the elastic component relative to the abutting plate and the housing component can be reduced, ensuring the use reliability of the adapter.
[0018] In some possible implementation manners, a clamping groove is provided on the side of the abutting plate facing the elastic component, and the second end of the elastic component is clamped into the clamping groove.
[0019] The second end of the elastic component can be clamped into the clamping groove. Through the cooperation between the clamping groove and the elastic component, the possibility of displacement of the elastic component relative to the abutting plate can be further reduced, ensuring the connection reliability between the elastic component and the abutting plate, and further ensuring the use reliability of the adapter.
[0020] In some possible implementation manners, the abutting structure further includes a first side plate and a second side plate arranged at intervals. Both the first side plate and the second side plate are disposed on the side of the panel facing the elastic component. The abutting plate is disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate, and at least part of the elastic component is located between the first side plate and the second side plate.
[0021] On the basis that the abutting plate can define the positional relationship of the elastic component relative to the abutting plate and the inner side wall of the housing component along the direction from the abutting plate to the elastic component, since the abutting plate is disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate, and at least part of the elastic component is disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate, therefore, the first side plate and the second side plate can define the positional relationship of the elastic component relative to the abutting plate and the housing component along the arrangement direction of the first side plate and the second side plate, further reducing the possibility of displacement of the elastic component relative to the abutting plate, ensuring the connection reliability between the elastic component and the abutting plate, and further ensuring the use reliability of the adapter.
[0022] In some possible implementations, the abutting structure further includes a third side plate disposed on a side of the abutting plate facing away from the panel, and at least part of the elastic component is disposed between the third side plate and the panel.
[0023] Since the third side plate is disposed on a side of the abutting plate facing away from the panel, and at least part of the elastic component is disposed between the third side plate and the panel, therefore, through the cooperation of the third side plate and the panel, the elastic component can be limited in the arrangement direction of the third side plate and the panel, further reducing the possibility of displacement of the elastic component relative to the abutting plate, ensuring the connection reliability between the elastic component and the abutting plate, and thus ensuring the use reliability of the adapter.
[0024] In some possible implementations, the adapter further includes a first connection structure and a second connection structure. The first connection structure is disposed on a side of the abutting plate facing the third side plate. The second connection structure is disposed on a side of the third side plate facing the abutting plate, and the second connection structure cooperates with the first connection structure.
[0025] Since the first connection structure is disposed on the abutting plate and the second connection structure is disposed on the third side plate, therefore, the connection between the abutting plate and the third side plate can be realized through the cooperation of the first connection structure and the second connection structure. In the example of the present application, since the third side plate and the abutting plate are separately provided, during the use of the adapter, it is convenient to detect and repair the abutting plate, the third side plate, and other structural members cooperating with the abutting plate and the third side plate.
[0026] In a second aspect, the present application provides a power rail socket, including a power rail and the adapter provided in the first aspect and each possible implementation of the first aspect. The power rail can electrically connect the adapter and the power supply line.
[0027] For the power rail provided in the second aspect and each possible design of the second aspect, the beneficial effects can refer to the beneficial effects brought by the first aspect and each possible implementation of the first aspect, and will not be elaborated here.

[0047] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of this application, the power rail and the power rail socket provided by the example of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings.
[0048] Exemplarily, Figure 1 For a schematic structural diagram of a power rail socket provided by an example of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , an example of this application provides a power rail socket 100. The power rail socket 100 includes a power rail 120 and an adapter 110, and the power rail 120 can electrically connect the adapter 110 and the power supply line.
[0049] The adapter 110 includes a plug. The power rail 120 is provided with a slot. The plug of the adapter 110 can extend into the power rail 120 from the slot and be electrically connected to the conductive component inside the power rail 120. The power rail 120 can be connected to a power supply line. After the adapter 110 is engaged with the power rail 120, the adapter 110 can be in an on state, providing electrical energy for the electrical appliance connected to the adapter 110, so that the electrical appliance can be in an operating state.
[0050] A connection component can be provided on the side of the power rail facing away from the adapter 110. The connection component can be snap-connected to the power rail 120. The connection component can be connected to objects such as walls, floors, and fixing brackets through connection methods such as threaded connection and negative pressure adsorption.
[0051] The specific structure of the power rail 120 mentioned in the examples of this application can be the same as the specific structure of the power rail in the prior art.
[0052] For the structure of the adapter 110, please refer to the relevant description below. The examples of this application will not expand on this here.
[0053] Based on the power rail socket 100 provided by the examples of this application, the power rail 120 can achieve the electrical connection between the power supply line and the adapter 110, so that the adapter 110 can be in an on state. Furthermore, the adapter 110 can provide electrical energy for the electrical appliance electrically connected to the adapter 110, enabling the electrical appliance to be in a power-consuming state.
[0054] Next, the structure of the adapter 110 will be specifically described.
[0055] Exemplarily, this application provides an adapter. Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of an adapter provided by the examples of this application. Figure 3 It is an exploded structural diagram of an adapter provided by the examples of this application. Figure 4 It is a schematic structural diagram of a housing assembly provided by the examples of this application. Figure 5 It is a schematic structural diagram of a face cover provided by the examples of this application.
[0056] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5, the adapter 110 is for the power rail socket 100. The adapter 110 may include a face cover 111, a housing assembly 112, and an elastic component 113. The face cover 111 is provided with at least one set of jacks 1111, and one side of the face cover 111 is provided with an abutting structure 1113. The housing assembly 112 is sleeved outside the face cover 111, and the housing assembly 112 is rotatable relative to the face cover 111 so that the adapter 110 can be switched to the on state or the off state. The inner side wall of the housing assembly 112 is provided with a first limiting structure 1123 and a second limiting structure 1124 at intervals. The first end of the elastic component 113 abuts against the abutting structure 1113, and the second end of the elastic component 113 abuts against the inner side wall of the housing assembly 112. When the adapter 110 is in the on state, the second end of the elastic component 113 is clamped to the first limiting structure 1123. When the adapter 110 is in the off state, the second end of the elastic component 113 is clamped to the second limiting structure 1124. Wherein, the end of the second end of the elastic component 113 is provided with a first guiding surface, and the first guiding surface cooperates with the first structure, or the first guiding surface cooperates with the second limiting structure 1124.
[0057] The manufacturing materials of the face cover 111 and the housing assembly 112 may be the same or different. For example, the manufacturing material of the face cover 111 may be aluminum and its alloys, polycarbonate and other materials with good insulation performance.
[0058] As long as it is ensured that during the use of the adapter 110, the face cover 111 and the housing assembly 112 have good insulation, and the current inside the adapter 110 will not escape to the outside of the adapter 110, the safety performance of the adapter 110 during use can be ensured.
[0059] The face cover 111 may be generally circular or other shapes. The specific shape of the face cover 111 in this application is not limited. As long as it is ensured that the shape of the face cover 111 is adapted to the housing assembly 112, and the housing assembly 112 can rotate relative to the housing assembly 112 to adjust the use state of the adapter 110.
[0060] At least one set of jacks 1111 may be provided on one side of the adapter 110. The jacks 1111 may be two-hole jacks, three-hole jacks, universal serial bus (USB) interfaces, etc. In this application example, the jacks 1111 of the adapter 110 may be similar to the jacks of the adapter in the prior art and will not be further described here.
[0061] An abutting structure 1113 may be provided on one side of the adapter 110. Specifically, the abutting structure 1113 may be provided on the side of the face cover 111 facing the elastic component 113. The abutting structure 1113 may be an abutting plate, an abutting protrusion or other structures that can limit the elastic component 113.
[0062] The housing assembly 112 can be formed by fitting together multiple structural members.
[0063] For example, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the housing assembly 112 can include a fixed member 1122 and a rotating member 1121. The fixed member 1122 can be fixedly connected with a circuit board, and the circuit board is connected with a switch. The fixed member 1122 can be fixedly connected with the face cover 111 through connection means such as threaded connection, or the cooperation of grooves and protrusions.
[0064] The rotating member 1121 can be rotatably connected with the fixed member 1122. Since the circuit board is fixedly connected with the fixed member 1122, and the circuit board is fixedly connected with the face cover 111, the rotating member 1121 can rotate relative to the circuit board and the face cover 111.
[0065] During the rotation of the rotating member 1121, the rotating member 1121 can push against the switch, causing the switch to switch between the closed state and the separated state. For example, a trigger structure can be provided on the inner side wall of the rotating member 1121. During the rotation of the rotating part, the trigger structure can push against the switch. The trigger structure can be a protrusion or other structure provided on the inner side wall of the rotating part, as long as it is ensured that when the rotating member 1121 rotates, the trigger structure can push against the switch to adjust the usage state of the switch. The present application does not specifically limit the trigger structure.
[0066] When the switch is in the closed state, the adapter 110 can be in the on state. When the switch is in the separated state, the adapter 110 can be in the off state.
[0067] The first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124 can be provided on the inner side wall of the rotating member 1121. The setting positions of the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124 can be spaced apart from the setting position of the switch.
[0068] For example, relative to the entire housing assembly 112, the setting positions of the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure can be on opposite sides of the housing assembly 112 with respect to the setting position of the switch. Or, the setting positions of the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure can be on the same side of the housing assembly 112 as long as it is ensured that during the use of the adapter 110, the elastic component 113 cooperating with the first limiting structure 1123 will not affect the operation of the switch or other structural members.
[0069] The shape of the first limiting structure 1123 may be the same as that of the second limiting structure 1124, or the shape of the first limiting structure 1123 may be different from that of the second limiting structure 1124. There are various specific implementation manners for the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124. The examples in this application only give an exemplary description of the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124.
[0070] The first limiting structure 1123 may be a limiting groove or a limiting hole. The second limiting structure 1124 may be a limiting groove or a limiting hole. The examples in this application only describe the case where both the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124 are limiting grooves. The limiting groove may be circular, square or other shapes.
[0071] The first end of the elastic component 113 may abut against the face cover 111, and the second end of the elastic component 113 may abut against the inner side wall of the housing component 112, specifically, it may abut against the inner side wall of the rotating member 1121.
[0072] The elastic component 113 may be a ball spring, or a combination of a sphere and an elastic member, or other elastic components 113 capable of setting a first guiding surface. The examples in this application do not limit the specific implementation manner of the elastic component 113.
[0073] Since the first end of the elastic component 113 abuts against the abutting structure 1113, and the abutting structure 1113 is connected to the face cover 111, therefore, when the housing component 112 rotates relative to the face cover 111, the housing component 112 can rotate relative to the elastic component 113, so that the position where the second end of the elastic component 113 abuts can be switched between the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124.
[0074] A first guiding surface may be provided at the end of the second end of the elastic component 113. The first guiding surface may cooperate with the first limiting structure 1123, or the first guiding surface may cooperate with the second limiting structure 1124. The inclination direction of the first guiding surface may be adapted to the cooperation direction between the first guiding surface and the first limiting structure 1123, and the inclination direction of the first guiding surface may be adapted to the cooperation direction between the first guiding surface and the second limiting structure 1124.
[0075] Based on the adapter 110 provided in the above example, the face cover 111 is provided with a jack 1111, and the plug of the electrical appliance can pass through the jack 1111 and then be electrically connected to the adapter 110. By rotating the housing component 112, the use state of the adapter 110 can be adjusted, so that the adapter 110 can be switched between the on state and the off state.
[0076] Since the first end of the elastic component 113 abuts against the abutting structure 1113, and the abutting structure 1113 is connected to the face cover 111, when the housing component 112 rotates relative to the face cover 111, the housing component 112 can rotate relative to the elastic component 113, so that the position where the second end of the elastic component 113 abuts can be switched between the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124.
[0077] In addition, since a first guiding surface can be provided at the end of the second end of the elastic component 113, when the position where the second end of the elastic component 113 abuts is switched between the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124, through the cooperation between the first guiding surface and the first limiting structure 1123, or the cooperation between the first guiding surface and the second limiting structure 1124, the possibility of jamming during the switching of the position where the elastic component 113 abuts between the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124 can be reduced, thereby making the switching process between the connected state and the disconnected state of the adapter 110 smoother and improving the user experience.
[0078] Based on the adapter 110 provided in the above example, the first guiding surface can be an inclined surface or a curved surface.
[0079] The setting methods of the inclined surface and the curved surface are similar. Hereinafter, only the case where the first guiding surface is a curved surface will be described as an example.
[0080] When the first guiding surface is a curved surface, along the arrangement direction of the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124, arc surfaces can be provided on both sides of the second end of the elastic component 113 that are oppositely arranged, or the arc surface can be provided on the circumferential side of the second end of the elastic component 113. Based on this, during the switching process of the usage state of the adapter 110, the arc surface can cooperate with the first limiting structure 1123, or the arc surface can also cooperate with the second limiting structure 1124, improving the smoothness of the switching of the position where the elastic component 113 abuts between the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124.
[0081] Based on the above, regardless of whether the first guiding surface is set as an inclined surface or a curved surface, during the use of the adapter 110, the inclined surface or the curved surface can cooperate with the first limiting structure 1123, or the inclined surface or the curved surface can cooperate with the second limiting structure 1124, which can reduce the possibility of jamming during the switching of the position where the elastic component 113 abuts between the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124, thereby making the switching process between the connected state and the disconnected state of the adapter 110 smoother and improving the user experience.
[0082] Based on the adapter 110 provided in the above example, Figure 5A structural schematic diagram of an elastic component provided for the example of this application. Please refer to Figure 5 , the elastic component 113 may include an elastic member 1131 and a sphere 1132. One end of the elastic member 1131 may abut against the abutment plate B1. The sphere 1132 is connected to the end of the elastic member 1131 away from the abutment plate B1, and one side of the sphere 1132 away from the elastic member 1131 may abut against the inner side wall of the housing assembly 112. The side of the sphere 1132 away from the elastic member 1131 is the first guiding surface.
[0083] The elastic member 1131 may be a spring, a spring sheet or other structures. In the example of this application, only the case where the elastic member 1131 is a spring is described.
[0084] A groove may be provided on one side of the sphere 1132, and the end of the elastic member 1131 may be snapped into the groove. Or, a convex structure may be provided on one side of the sphere 1132, and the end of the elastic member 1131 may be sleeved on the convex structure. Or, the elastic members 1131 may be connected together by welding, bonding, abutting, etc. This application example does not make specific limitations on this.
[0085] Since the surface of the sphere 1132 is integrally arc-shaped, during the use of the adapter 110, the end of the sphere 1132 away from the elastic member 1131 may cooperate with the first limiting structure 1123, or the end of the sphere 1132 away from the elastic member 1131 may cooperate with the second limiting structure 1124, reducing the possibility of jamming at the position where the elastic component 113 abuts during the switching between the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124. Furthermore, the switching process of the adapter 110 between the on state and the off state is relatively smooth, improving the user experience.
[0086] Based on the adapter 110 provided in the above example, the first limiting structure 1123 may be provided with a second guiding surface, and the inclination direction of the second guiding surface is adapted to the assembly direction of the elastic component 113 cooperating with the first limiting structure 1123. And / or, the second limiting structure 1124 may be provided with a third guiding surface, and the inclination direction of the third guiding surface is adapted to the assembly direction of the elastic component 113 cooperating with the second limiting structure 1124.
[0087] The inclination direction of the second guiding surface may be adapted to the assembly direction of the elastic component 113 and the first limiting structure 1123.
[0088] By providing the second guiding surface, during the assembly process of the elastic component 113 and the first limiting structure 1123, the elastic component 113 can be made to contact the part with the largest dimension of the first limiting structure 1123, and gradually cooperate with the first limiting structure 1123 via the second guiding surface, making the cooperation between the elastic component 113 and the first limiting member structure smoother.
[0089] The inclination direction of the third guiding surface can be adapted to the assembling direction of the elastic component 113 and the second limiting structure 1124.
[0090] By providing the third guiding surface, during the assembling process of the elastic component 113 and the second limiting structure 1124, the part with the largest dimension of the elastic component 113 can be made to contact the second limiting structure 1124, and gradually cooperate with the second limiting structure 1124 via the third guiding surface, making the cooperation between the elastic component 113 and the second limiting member structure smoother.
[0091] Based on the adapter 110 provided in the above example, Figure 7 This is a schematic structural diagram of another face cover provided in the example of the present application. Figure 8 is Figure 7 a partial enlarged schematic diagram at A in Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the face cover 111 may include a panel 1112. The abutting structure 1113 may include an abutting plate B1, and the abutting plate B1 is provided on the side of the panel 1112 facing the elastic component 113. The first end of the elastic component 113 abuts against the abutting plate B1, and the second end of the elastic component 113 abuts against the inner side wall of the housing assembly 112.
[0092] The abutting plate B1 may be provided in the middle of the panel 1112, or on the side of the panel 1112 close to the first limiting structure 1123 and the second limiting structure 1124, and it is ensured that the distance between the abutting plate B1 and the inner side wall of the housing assembly 112 is less than the length of the elastic component 113, so that the elastic component 113 can abut between the abutting plate B1 and the inner side wall of the housing assembly 112.
[0093] The side of the abutting plate B1 facing the elastic component 113 may be arranged in a flat surface, or a groove-like structure or a convex structure may be provided on the side of the abutting plate B1 facing the elastic component 113. The present application example does not specifically limit the setting manner of the abutting plate B1, as long as it is ensured that the elastic component 113 can abut between the abutting plate B1 and the inner side wall of the housing assembly 112.
[0094] In the example of the present application, the first end of the elastic component 113 abuts against the abutment plate B1, and the second end of the elastic component 113 abuts against the inner side wall of the shell component 112, so that the elastic component 113 can be connected between the abutment plate B1 and the inner side wall of the shell component 112. Since the abutment plate B1 and the inner side wall of the shell component 112 can apply force to the elastic component 113 in opposite directions, the positional relationship of the elastic component 113 relative to the abutment plate B1 and the shell component 112 can be limited along the direction from the abutment plate B1 to the elastic component 113, thereby making it less likely that the elastic component 113 will be relatively displaced relative to the abutment plate B1 and the shell component 112, thereby ensuring the reliability of the adapter 110.
[0095] Based on the adapter 110 provided in the above example, a clamping groove is provided on one side of the abutting plate B1 facing the elastic component 113 , and the second end of the elastic component 113 is clamped to the clamping groove.
[0096] In the example of the present application, the second end of the elastic component 113 can be snapped into the snap-in slot. Through the cooperation between the snap-in slot and the elastic component 113, the possibility of displacement of the elastic component 113 relative to the abutment plate B1 can be further reduced, thereby ensuring the connection reliability between the elastic component 113 and the abutment plate B1, and further ensuring the reliability of use of the adapter 110.
[0097] Based on the adapter 110 provided in the above example, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The abutment structure 1113 may also include a first side plate B2 and a second side plate B3 that are spaced apart. The first side plate B2 and the second side plate B3 are both disposed on the side of the panel 1112 that faces the elastic component 113. The abutment plate B1 is disposed between the first side plate B2 and the second side plate B3. At least part of the elastic component 113 is located between the first side plate B2 and the second side plate B3.
[0098] The first side panel B2 and the second side panel B3 may be integrally formed with the panel 1112, and at least one of the first side panel B2 and the second side panel B3 may also be detachably connected to the panel 1112 by snapping, plugging or other connection methods.
[0099] The first side plate B2 may be connected to the abutting plate B1, and there may be a gap between the first side plate B2 and the abutting plate B1. The second side plate B3 may be connected to the abutting plate B1, and there may be a gap between the second side plate B3 and the abutting plate B1. The example of this application does not limit the specific implementation of the first side plate B2, the second side plate B3 and the abutting plate B1.
[0100] In the example of this application, based on the fact that the abutting plate B1 can define the positional relationship between the elastic component 113 and the inner side wall of the housing component 112 relative to the abutting plate B1 in the direction from the abutting plate B1 to the elastic component 113, since the abutting plate B1 is arranged between the first side plate B2 and the second side plate B3, and at least part of the elastic component 113 is arranged between the first side plate B2 and the second side plate B3, therefore, the first side plate B2 and the second side plate B3 can define the positional relationship between the elastic component 113 and the abutting plate B1 and the housing component 112 along the arrangement direction of the first side plate B2 and the second side plate B3, further reducing the possibility of displacement of the elastic component 113 relative to the abutting plate B1, ensuring the connection reliability between the elastic component 113 and the abutting plate B1, and thus ensuring the use reliability of the adapter 110.
[0101] Based on the adapter 110 provided in the above example, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the abutting structure 1113 may further include a third side plate B4, and the third side plate B4 is arranged on the side of the abutting plate B1 away from the panel 1112, and at least part of the elastic component 113 is arranged between the third side plate B4 and the panel 1112.
[0102] The abutting structure 1113 may only include the third side plate B4 and the abutting plate B1, or the abutting structure 1113 may also include the first side plate B2, the second side plate B3, the abutting plate B1 and the third side plate B4. The example of this application only describes the abutting structure 1113 including the first side plate B2, the second side plate B3, the abutting plate B1 and the third side plate B4 as an example.
[0103] The third side plate B4 may be integrally formed with the first side plate B2, the second side plate B3 and the abutting plate B1, or the third side plate B4 may also be connected to the first side plate B2, the second side plate B3 and the abutting plate B1 by means of threaded connection, cooperation of grooves and protrusions, etc. The example of this application does not make specific restrictions on this.
[0104] Based on the above, since the third side plate B4 is arranged on the side of the abutting plate B1 away from the panel 1112, and at least part of the elastic component 113 is arranged between the third side plate B4 and the panel 1112, therefore, through the cooperation of the third side plate B4 and the panel 1112, the elastic component 113 can be limited in position along the arrangement direction of the third side plate B4 and the panel 1112, further reducing the possibility of displacement of the elastic component 113 relative to the abutting plate B1, ensuring the connection reliability between the elastic component 113 and the abutting plate B1, and thus ensuring the use reliability of the adapter 110.
[0105] Based on the adapter 110 provided in the above example, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8, the adapter 110 may further include a first connection structure LJ1 and a second connection structure LJ2. The first connection structure LJ1 is disposed on one side of the abutting plate B1 facing the third side plate B4.

[0110] Based on the above, since the first connection structure LJ1 is disposed on the abutting plate B1 and the second connection structure LJ2 is disposed on the third side plate B4, the connection between the abutting plate B1 and the third side plate B4 can be achieved through the cooperation between the first connection structure LJ1 and the second connection structure LJ2.
