DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example: As shown in the attached Figures 1 to 6 The illustrated socket with a fixing device includes a socket body 1 and a fixing device 2. The fixing device 2 is provided with a plurality of connecting protrusions 3. The socket body 1 is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves 4. The connecting protrusions 3 are movably disposed in corresponding connecting grooves 4. When the connecting protrusions 3 are movable in the corresponding connecting grooves 4, they have a loose position in which they can be disengaged from the connecting grooves 4 in a direction away from the socket body 1, and a locked position in which they cannot be disengaged from the connecting grooves 4 in a direction away from the socket body 1. The socket is provided with a detachable fixing device 2. The socket can be used alone or in conjunction with the fixing device 2 to be fixed to the location where the electrical appliance is used, making it very flexible and convenient to use.

[0028] The fixing device 2 may be a spring clip or other structure that enables two components to move closer or farther apart through a transmission member. This embodiment uses a spring clip structure. Figure 4 As shown, it includes a first clamping plate 14 and a second clamping plate 15 hinged together, and an elastic member 16 that provides pre-tightening force to the first clamping plate 14 and the second clamping plate 15. The elastic member 16 can be a torsion spring or a compression spring. The elastic member 16 forces one end of the first clamping plate 14 and the second clamping plate 15 to press against each other and the other end of the first clamping plate 14 and the second clamping plate 15 to separate from each other. The separated end is used for pressing. The connecting protrusion 3 is provided on the first clamping plate 14 or the second clamping plate 15. The spring clamp structure is simple and reliable. It can be fixed to the target object by pressing and releasing. The production process of the spring clamp structure is mature. Choosing it as the fixing device 2 can greatly reduce production costs and enhance the market competitiveness of the product.

[0029] As attached Figures 3 to 6 As shown, at least one side of the connecting protrusion 3 is provided with a movable protrusion 5. In this embodiment, there are two movable protrusions 5, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting protrusion 3 to form a structure with a T-shaped cross-section. The inner wall of the connecting groove 4 is provided with two limiting protrusions 6, which are used to limit the two movable protrusions 5 respectively. When the connecting protrusion 3 is in the locked position, the side of the movable protrusion 5 close to the fixing device 2 abuts against the inner side of the limiting protrusion 6 to form a limit. The limiting structure is simple and reliable, and is convenient for processing and production.

[0030] As attached Figures 3 to 6As shown, the socket body 1 is further provided with a card slot 7, and the fixing device 2 is further provided with an elastic support portion 8 that can be deformed in a direction closer to or away from the socket body 1 under the action of an external force. The elastic support portion 8 is provided with a card block 9. The card block 9 and the elastic support portion 8 are an integral structure. When the connecting protrusion 3 is in the locked position, the card block 9 is embedded in the card slot 7. By adding the card block 9 and the card slot 7 between the fixing device 2 and the socket body 1, the connecting protrusion 3 and the connecting groove 4 are locked and matched, and a secondary locking is performed after the locking engagement, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection structure between the two.

[0031] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the side of the block 9 closest to the connecting protrusion 3 is a vertical stop surface 10. The connecting slot 4 extends perpendicular to this vertical stop surface 10. The side of the block 9 away from the connecting protrusion 3 is a guiding slope 11. The shape of the slot 7 is similar to that of the block 9, that is, the cross-section of the block 9 is a right triangle or a right trapezoid. When the vertical stop surface 10 of the block 9 abuts the slot 7, it prevents the connecting protrusion 3 on the socket body 1 from sliding toward the loose position within the connecting slot 4.

[0032] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the elastic support portion 8 is further provided with a pressing operation portion 12. The elastic support portion 8 and the pressing operation portion 12 are an integrated structure. When the socket body 1 is connected to the fixing device 2, the pressing operation portion 12 is at least partially disposed outside the orthographic projection area of ​​the socket body 1 on the fixing device 2, that is, the socket body 1 does not block the pressing operation portion 12. By pressing the pressing operation portion 12 downward, the elastic support portion 8 is deformed downward and the locking block 9 is driven out of the locking slot 7. At this time, the socket body 1 is pushed, causing the connecting protrusion 3 to slide from the locked position in the connecting slot 4 to the loose position. The connecting protrusion 3 no longer has the limit of the limiting protrusion 6, and the socket body 1 can be separated from the fixing device 2, which is very convenient to operate.

[0033] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the upper and lower surfaces of the pressing operation portion 12 are provided with anti-slip ridges 13, which can be designed as multiple horizontal stripes arranged in parallel. The provision of the anti-slip ridges 13 can increase the friction between the pressing operation portion 12 and the user's finger skin, allowing the user to press the pressing operation portion 12 more smoothly.
