[0022] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by providing interconnected rotation holes 12 and stop holes 11 on the mounting bracket 1, and rotatably mounting the rotation portion 21 of the flat-head plug 2 within the rotation hole 12, the plug is rotatable, thereby improving its ability to adapt to different sockets. Furthermore, the interference between the plug portion 22 and the inner wall of the stop hole 11 effectively limits the rotation angle of the plug, resolving the issues of low precision and high manufacturing difficulty associated with opening holes in the housing. This design avoids the need to provide stop holes 11 in the housing, simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces manufacturing costs, and improves assembly precision and reliability, enhancing the adaptability and ease of use of the travel adapter. Through this design, the travel adapter can more stably adapt to power sockets in different countries while reducing the complexity and potential for errors during assembly.

[0023] Furthermore, a damping sleeve 23 is provided on the rotating portion 21 , and the damping sleeve 23 contacts the rotating hole 12 .

[0024] From the above description, it can be seen that the provision of the damping sleeve 23 increases the friction between the rotating portion 21 and the rotating hole 12, thereby providing a better damping effect, making the pin more stable during the rotation process and reducing the rotation of the pin caused by accidental collision.

[0025] Furthermore, the damping sleeve 23 is made of rubber.

[0026] From the above description, it can be seen that the damping sleeve 23 made of rubber material can provide good elasticity and wear resistance. At the same time, the damping sleeve 23 made of rubber material also has a good shock absorption effect, further improving the stability and durability of the pin structure.

[0027] Furthermore, the inner side wall of the limiting hole 11 is provided with a first limiting surface and a second limiting surface, wherein the first limiting surface is used to abut against one side of the plug-in portion 22 , and the second limiting surface is used to abut against the other side of the plug-in portion 22 .

[0028] From the above description, it can be seen that the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface of the inner wall of the limiting hole 11 respectively contact the two sides of the plug-in portion 22, providing two-directional limiting, making the rotation of the pin more stable and preventing damage caused by excessive rotation.

[0029] Furthermore, a buffer layer is provided on the first limiting surface and / or the second limiting surface.

[0030] From the above description, it can be seen that providing a buffer layer on the first limiting surface and / or the second limiting surface can absorb the impact force when the pin rotates, reduce the wear on the pin and the limiting hole 11, and extend the service life of the product.

[0031] Furthermore, a marking layer is provided on the first limiting surface and / or the second limiting surface.

[0032] As can be seen from the above description, providing the identification layer can improve the user's ability to identify the pin position in dark places or with poor visibility, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0033] Furthermore, the marking layer is made of reflective material.

[0034] As can be seen from the above description, using reflective material as the identification layer can enhance visibility in low-light environments and further improve the user's ability to identify the pin position in various environments.

[0035] Furthermore, an anti-slipping piece is provided in the rotating hole 12 , and the anti-slipping piece contacts the rotating portion 21 .

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the provision of the anti-dropping member prevents the rotating portion 21 from falling out of the rotating hole 12 in an accidental situation, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the pin structure.

[0037] Furthermore, the anti-slip component is a ball-end screw.

[0038] From the above description, it can be seen that the ball screw, as an anti-dropping component, can effectively prevent the rotating part 21 from accidentally falling off due to its special structural design. At the same time, the installation and removal of the ball screw are also relatively convenient.

[0039] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model also provides a travel adapter, including the above pin structure.

[0040] As can be seen from the above description, applying the above pin structure to the travel adapter makes the travel adapter have better adaptability and stability, thereby improving the practicality and user satisfaction of the travel adapter.

The flat-head pin 2 includes a connected plug portion 22 and a rotating portion 21. The rotating portion 21 is rotatably mounted within the rotation hole 12. The plug portion 22 is located through the stop hole 11 and abuts against the inner side wall of the stop hole 11. As will be readily understood, by providing the connected rotation hole 12 and the stop hole 11 on the mounting bracket 1 and by rotatably mounting the rotating portion 21 of the flat-head pin 2 within the rotation hole 12, the pin is rotatable, thereby improving its ability to adapt to different sockets. In addition, the abutment between the plug portion 22 and the inner side wall of the stop hole 11 effectively limits the pin's rotation angle, resolving the problems of low precision and high manufacturing difficulty associated with opening holes in the housing mentioned in the background art. This design avoids the need for a retaining hole 11 in the housing, simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces manufacturing costs, improves assembly accuracy and reliability, and enhances the adaptability and ease of use of the travel adapter. This design allows the travel adapter to more reliably adapt to power sockets in different countries while reducing the complexity and potential for error during assembly.

[0042] Preferably, a damping sleeve 23 is provided on the rotating part 21, and the damping sleeve 23 is in contact with the rotating hole 12. The provision of the damping sleeve 23 increases the friction between the rotating part 21 and the rotating hole 12, thereby providing a better damping effect, making the pin more stable during the rotation process, and reducing the rotation of the pin caused by accidental collision; as an option, the material of the damping sleeve 23 is rubber material. The use of the damping sleeve 23 made of rubber material can provide good elasticity and wear resistance. At the same time, the damping sleeve 23 made of rubber material also has a good shock-absorbing effect, further improving the stability and durability of the pin structure; in addition, the material of the damping sleeve 23 can also be plastic, carbon fiber or wood, etc., which can be selected according to actual application requirements and will not be elaborated here.

[0043] Preferably, the inner side wall of the limiting hole 11 is provided with a first limiting surface and a second limiting surface, the first limiting surface is used to abut against one side of the plug-in portion 22, and the second limiting surface is used to abut against the other side of the plug-in portion 22.

Using reflective material as the identification layer can enhance visibility in dark environments, further improving the user's ability to identify the position of the pin in various environments.

[0044] Optionally, an anti-slip member (not shown) may be provided in the rotating hole 12. The anti-slip member interferes with the rotating portion 21. The provision of the anti-slip member prevents the rotating portion 21 from accidentally falling out of the rotating hole 12, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the pin structure. Furthermore, the anti-slip member may be a ball screw. Its special structural design can effectively prevent the rotating portion 21 from accidentally falling out. The ball screw is also relatively easy to install and remove. In addition, since the ball screw is an easy-to-procure part, it can be directly purchased without the need for customized procurement, which greatly saves R&D costs.

[0045] In summary, the pin structure and travel converter provided by the present invention achieve the rotatability of the pin by providing interconnected rotation holes and limiting holes on the mounting bracket, and rotatably installing the rotating portion of the flat-head pin in the rotation hole, thereby improving the ability to adapt to different sockets.
