The track socket is actually a "track", and the socket can move freely in the track groove. As long as there is a track, a dedicated socket can be embedded, which is very convenient.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN116505317A discloses an adapter for a track socket, including: a base, an annular side wall is formed around the top surface of the base, a plug board extends out from the bottom of the base, and two opening grooves are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the plug board extending along the bottom surface of the base, and the two opening grooves are respectively located on opposite sides of the plug board; two sub-gears, both rotatably connected to the base and respectively corresponding to one of the opening grooves; two conductive pins, the conductive pin includes a conductive rod and a conductive insertion piece extending from the side wall of the conductive rod; one conductive rod is coaxially connected to one of the sub-gears, and the conductive insertion piece is located in the opening groove; a rotating ring, the lower part of the rotating ring extends into the annular side wall to be rotatably arranged on the base; a main gear, the main gear is coaxially connected to the rotating ring and meshes with both of the sub-gears, so that the conductive insertion pieces of the two conductive pins rotate around the conductive rod to extend out of their respective corresponding opening grooves through the rotation of the rotating ring. An installation space is formed inside the track board, conductive sockets are arranged on both the left side wall and the right side wall of the installation space, and a limiting port for the limiting plate of the adapter to extend into and slide is formed on the top wall of the installation space.

[0004] In the above patent, the conductive sockets on the left side wall and the right side wall inside the track board are on the same plane. Therefore, if the adapter is inserted reversely, it is easy to cause the N pole of the adapter to be wrongly connected to the L pole inside the track board, resulting in equipment damage.
