Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical accessories, specifically to a socket with adjustable plug-in direction. Background Technology

[0002] Wall sockets, as common power connectors in daily life, are generally installed on the wall surface, and their height varies depending on usage needs. However, without exception, they are all installed perpendicular to the wall surface. When the installation height is appropriate, plugging and unplugging appliances is generally convenient. However, in some locations, after furniture is placed, the space for plugging and unplugging decreases, or the initial installation height was incorrect. In these cases, plugging and unplugging from a vertical socket surface becomes more difficult. Generally, inserting at an angle is more troublesome than inserting vertically, and an incorrect insertion angle can cause a loss of feel or even prevent the plug from being inserted at all.

[0003] Currently, fixed wall sockets on the market require the plug to be perpendicular to the wall surface after installation, which cannot solve the above problem. Existing technologies can use movable sockets, and the use of power strips is not limited to any angle, but additional wiring is required. Floor sockets can also be used to control the opening and closing angle to change the socket angle, but they are only suitable for specific occasions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve at least one of the above-mentioned defects and provide a socket that can rotate at multiple angles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable socket includes: a panel, a mounting bracket connected to the panel, the panel having a first hollow structure, the mounting bracket having a second hollow structure corresponding to the first hollow structure, the mounting bracket having at least two spaced-apart first arc-shaped plates protruding on a side away from the panel, a socket assembly having a socket hole and a mounting portion, the mounting portion having a spherical arc surface, the inner wall of the first arc plate being a spherical arc groove that matches the shape of the mounting portion, the socket assembly being mounted between at least two of the first arc plates corresponding to the first and second hollow structures, the socket assembly being rotatably connected to the mounting bracket through a sliding fit between the spherical arc surface and the spherical arc groove, allowing the socket hole of the socket assembly to rotate to face different directions.

[0007] Furthermore, the first arc-shaped plate is integrally formed with the mounting bracket and is elastic.

[0008] Furthermore, a limiting barb is provided at the end of the first arc-shaped plate away from the panel, and the limiting barb limits the rotational limit positions of both ends of the socket assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the first arc-shaped plate is provided with an expansion groove that penetrates the first arc-shaped plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the first arc-shaped plate has multiple angular grooves on the side facing the socket assembly, and the spherical arc surface of the socket assembly has protrusions, so that when the socket assembly is rotated by a certain angle, the angular grooves can limit the socket assembly through the protrusions.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotation angle α of the socket assembly within the first arc-shaped plate ranges from 0 degrees to 7 degrees.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer end face of the socket assembly is provided with a socket hole, and the distance between the outer end face of the socket assembly and the first arc-shaped plate is greater than the distance between the outer plane of the panel and the first arc-shaped plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting bracket has two opposing first arc-shaped plates on the side away from the panel. The socket assembly includes an opposing outer end face and an opposing inner end face, two opposing mounting parts, and two opposing side faces. The outer end face is parallel to the inner end face. The outer end face is provided with a socket hole. The two side faces and the two mounting parts are all located between the outer end face and the inner end face. The two side faces are connected between the two mounting parts.

[0014] Furthermore, a cover plate boss is provided on the inner end face, and the cover plate boss is provided with a terminal slot for accommodating the wiring terminal and a wiring hole corresponding to the wiring terminal.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting bracket has two screw holes symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second hollow structure in the middle for threaded connection with the external dark box.

[0016] Furthermore, the socket assembly has an outer end face away from the first arc-shaped plate, and the outer end face has a socket hole. The outer end face is symmetrically provided with a first arc-shaped edge, and the first arc-shaped edge extends to form a first virtual circle. The socket assembly has an inner end face away from the outer end face, and the inner end face is symmetrically provided with a second arc-shaped edge, and the second arc-shaped edge extends to form a fourth virtual circle. The first hollow structure and the second hollow structure have arc-shaped structures corresponding to the first arc-shaped edge and the second arc-shaped edge. The diameter of the first virtual circle is smaller than the diameter of the second virtual circle and the third virtual circle formed by the extension of the arc-shaped structures of the first hollow structure and the second hollow structure. The diameter of the fourth virtual circle is larger than the diameter of the second virtual circle and the third virtual circle formed by the extension of the arc-shaped structures of the first hollow structure and the second hollow structure. The first hollow structure and the second hollow structure limit the socket assembly, so that the socket assembly will not come off the first arc-shaped plate during rotation between the first arc-shaped plates.

[0017] Furthermore, the socket assembly includes a base and a cover, a cavity is provided between the base and the cover, a cover plate is provided in the cavity, the cover plate is connected to the base, and a wiring terminal, a socket and a protective door are provided between the base and the cover plate.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer side wall of the mounting part corresponding to the base is provided with a first arc surface and a second arc surface, the outer side of the cover corresponding to the mounting part is a third arc surface, and the inner side is a fourth arc surface. The cover is fitted onto the base, the fourth arc surface is sleeved outside the second arc surface, and the first arc surface and the third arc surface are connected to form the mounting part of the socket assembly.

[0019] Furthermore, the first arc surface of the base is provided with protrusions.

[0020] Furthermore, the base sidewall is provided with multiple buckles, and the cover plate is provided with multiple second buckle feet that cooperate with the buckles, and the base is fastened to the cover plate.

[0021] Furthermore, the side wall of the cover plate is provided with multiple protrusions, and the inner wall of the face cover is provided with multiple matching limiting protrusions corresponding to the protrusions. The face cover is fastened to the cover plate, and the limiting protrusions are upside down on the side of the protrusion facing the base, so that the limiting protrusions limit the protrusions and fix the face cover to the cover plate.

[0022] Furthermore, the socket assembly is inserted between the first arc-shaped plates from the side of the mounting bracket away from the panel, and a socket assembly mounting port for inserting the socket assembly is formed between the ends of at least two first arc-shaped plates away from the panel.

[0023] Furthermore, the limiting barb has a chamfer on the outer side away from the panel to facilitate the insertion of the socket assembly between the first arc-shaped plates.

[0024] This utility model adopts a matching structure of a first arc plate and a socket assembly. Rotation is achieved through the sliding cooperation of a spherical arc surface and a spherical arc groove, allowing the socket assembly to rotate at multiple angles and the socket face to face different directions. This makes it easy to plug and unplug the socket in places with narrow spaces or angular deviations. The structure is simple and easy to install.

[0025] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is integrally formed with the first arc-shaped plate and is slightly deformable and elastic, thus fixing the socket assembly. This eliminates the need for a complex structure for fixing the socket assembly, resulting in a simple overall structure that is easy to manufacture and assemble. In particular, the socket assembly can be inserted into the first arc-shaped plate from the side of the mounting bracket away from the panel, i.e., the side of the mounting bracket where the first arc-shaped plate is located, enabling easy installation and preventing it from easily falling off.

[0026] In addition, this application uses a first limiting plate with a limiting hook to limit the socket assembly and prevent excessive rotation of the plug assembly from causing bending damage to the external wires.

[0027] In addition, this application adopts a structure with an expansion groove on the first arc plate. Firstly, it can increase the deformation elasticity of the first arc plate to fix the mounting bracket. Secondly, when external personnel apply too much force to the socket assembly, the first arc plate expands outward through the expansion groove, which plays a buffering role, protects the first arc plate, and avoids hard force damage.

[0028] In addition, this application adopts a matching structure of the protrusion of the boss and the angle groove of the mounting plate assembly, which can limit and fix the rotation angle of the socket assembly to meet the diverse needs of users.

[0029] Furthermore, the mounting bracket of this application has two opposing first arc-shaped plates. The socket assembly includes opposing outer end faces and inner end faces, two opposing mounting parts, and two opposing side faces. Due to the design of the external structure of the socket assembly, the socket assembly is more easily inserted between the first arc-shaped plates and installed on the mounting bracket.

[0030] In addition, this application adopts a mating structure of base, cover plate and faceplate, which makes the insert better protected, the structure more compact and facilitates miniaturization design. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0041] The specific embodiments of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0042] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the socket in this embodiment includes a panel 1, a mounting bracket 3 connected to the panel 1, and a socket assembly 2 connected to the mounting bracket 3. The panel 1 is externally fastened to the mounting bracket 3, and the panel 1 is used for external decoration and protection of internal components; the mounting bracket 3 is used to install the entire socket, fixing the socket in an external recessed box, which is usually embedded in a wall or cabinet.

[0043] like Figure 3 , 5As shown in Figure 6, an adjustable plug-in direction socket includes: a panel 1, a mounting bracket 3 connected to the panel 1, the panel 1 having a first hollow structure 11, the mounting bracket 3 having a second hollow structure 31 corresponding to the first hollow structure 11, the mounting bracket 3 having at least two first arc-shaped plates 324 spaced apart on a side away from the panel 1, a socket assembly 32 being disposed between the first arc-shaped plates 324, the socket assembly 32 having a socket hole 221 and a mounting part 21, the shape of the first arc-shaped plates 324 matching the mounting part 21 of the socket assembly 2, the socket assembly 2 being mounted corresponding to the two hollow structures, and the socket hole 221 of the socket assembly 2 being rotatably connected to the first arc-shaped plates 324 through the mounting part 21, allowing the socket hole 221 of the socket assembly 2 to rotate to face different directions.

[0044] The mounting part 21 has a spherical arc surface, and the inner wall of the first arc plate 324 is a spherical arc groove that matches the shape of the mounting part 21. The socket assembly 2 corresponds to the first hollow structure 11 and the second hollow structure 31 and is installed between at least two of the first arc plates 324. The socket assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 3 through the sliding fit of the spherical arc surface and the spherical arc groove, so that the socket hole 221 of the socket assembly 2 can rotate to face different directions, thereby enabling the socket assembly 2 to rotate at multiple angles on the mounting frame 3, so that the socket hole faces various different angles, making it easy to plug and unplug the socket in places with narrow space or angular deviation. The structure is simple and easy to install.

[0045] This utility model employs a cooperative structure of socket assembly 2 and mounting bracket 3. Rotation is achieved through the sliding engagement of a spherical arc surface and a spherical arc groove, allowing socket assembly 2 to rotate at multiple angles with the socket facing different directions. This facilitates easy insertion and removal of the socket in confined spaces or at varying angles, and the structure is simple and easy to install. Furthermore, the protruding first arc plate 324 is slightly deformable and elastic, effectively securing socket assembly 2. It should be noted that in this application, the spherical arc surface and spherical arc groove refer to a portion of a sphere.

[0046] Preferably, the socket assembly 2 has mounting portions 21 at both ends, and the mounting bracket 3 has two first arc-shaped plates 324 on the side away from the panel 1. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the mounting bracket 3 may have three or more first arc-shaped plates 324, and the socket assembly 2 may have the same number of mounting portions 21. The spherical arc grooves of the multiple first arc-shaped plates 324 and the spherical arc surfaces of the multiple mounting portions 21 have the same center point.

[0047] like Figure 3 , 5As shown in Figure 6, the mounting bracket 3 is integrally formed with the first arc-shaped plate 324. The mounting bracket 3 is square. In the vertical direction shown in the figure, the two sides of the mounting bracket 3 in the vertical direction are the first side 35, and the two sides of the mounting bracket 3 in the horizontal direction are the second side 36. The mounting bracket 3 includes an integrally formed mounting plate assembly 37 and the first arc-shaped plate 324. Two first arc-shaped plates 324 are correspondingly arranged near the two first side 35. The first arc-shaped plates 324 are located on the side of the mounting plate assembly 37 away from the panel 1. The mounting plate assembly 37 extends away from the panel 1 to form a first arc-shaped plate 324. The arc-shaped surfaces of the first arc-shaped plate 324 are arranged opposite each other. There is a gap between the two sides of the first arc-shaped plate 324 and the two second sides 36 of the corresponding mounting bracket 3. A second hollow structure 31 is provided between the two first arc-shaped plates 324. The second hollow structure 31 includes two integrally formed third sides and two arc-shaped structures, and the shape of the second hollow structure matches the shape of the socket assembly mounting part 21. The first arc-shaped plate 324 is used to mate with the socket assembly 2. The side of the first arc-shaped plate 324 facing the socket assembly 2 has multiple angle grooves 321. The direction of the angle grooves 321 is consistent with the arc direction of the first arc-shaped plate 324. The angle grooves 321 extend from the side of the first arc-shaped plate 324 to the opposite side end of the first arc-shaped plate 324. The mounting portion 21 of the socket assembly 2, away from the panel 1, has multiple protrusions 211. The protrusions 211 mate with the angle grooves 321, and the angle grooves 321 limit the protrusions 211, thus limiting the socket assembly 2 after it rotates by a certain angle. This utility model uses a mating structure between the protrusions 211 of the boss 242 and the angle grooves 321 of the first arc-shaped plate 324 to limit and fix the rotation angle of the socket assembly 2, meeting the diverse needs of users.

[0048] Preferably, the socket assembly 2 is inserted between the first arc-shaped plates 324 from the side of the mounting bracket 3 away from the panel 1, i.e., the side of the mounting bracket 3 with the first arc-shaped plate 324. At least two ends of the first arc-shaped plates 324 away from the panel 1 form a socket assembly mounting opening for inserting the socket assembly 2. The first arc-shaped plate 324 is integrally formed with the mounting bracket 3 and is elastic, so that after the first arc-shaped plate 324 is bent, the socket assembly 2 can be inserted into the first arc-shaped plate 324. The end of the socket assembly 2 with the insertion hole extends sequentially into the second hollow structure 31 and the first hollow structure 11, realizing the rotatable connection between the socket assembly 2 and the mounting bracket 3 through the sliding fit of the spherical arc surface and the spherical arc groove. This facilitates assembly and prevents it from falling off from the side of the panel 1.

[0049] Preferably, in this embodiment, there are five angular grooves 321, evenly distributed. Obviously, the number of angular grooves 321 can be adjusted as needed.

[0050] Preferably, each mounting portion 21 has two protrusions 211 spaced apart. The lower part of each protrusion 211 is cylindrical and the upper part is spherical. The lower part of each protrusion 211 is integrally formed with the mounting portion 21 of the socket assembly 2. Obviously, the number of angle lines can be adjusted as needed.

[0051] Preferably, the first arc-shaped plate 324 is provided with at least one expansion groove 323 that runs through the first arc-shaped plate 324. This serves two purposes: firstly, it increases the deformation elasticity of the first arc-shaped plate 324 to fix the mounting bracket 3; secondly, when external personnel apply excessive force to the socket assembly 2, the first arc-shaped plate 324 expands outward through the expansion groove 323, which acts as a buffer, protects the first arc-shaped plate 324, and prevents damage from hard forces.

[0052] Preferred, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first arc-shaped plate 324 extends inward from the side away from the panel 1 to form a limiting barb 322. The limiting barb 322 has a rectangular cross-section. The barb 233 limits the extreme position of the socket assembly 2 within the first arc-shaped plate 324, preventing excessive rotation of the plug assembly 2 from causing bending damage to the external wires. Preferably, the limiting barb 322 has a chamfer on the outer side away from the panel 1, which facilitates the insertion of the socket assembly 2 between the first arc-shaped plates 324.

[0053] Preferably, the two first sides 35 of the mounting bracket 3 are provided with two fastening grooves 33 at intervals away from the panel 1, and the inner wall of the panel 1 is provided with a first fastening foot 12 corresponding to the fastening groove 33, and the panel 1 is fastened to the mounting bracket 3.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting plate assembly 37 has two elongated first grooves 371 on the side away from the panel 1. The two elongated first grooves 371 are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the second hollow structure 31. The first grooves 371 are provided with a first vertical protrusion 372 and multiple horizontal protrusions 373. The vertical protrusion 372 and multiple horizontal protrusions 373 intersect to form multiple second grooves 374, thereby increasing the support strength of the mounting bracket 3. The first grooves 371 are provided with two oppositely arranged screw holes 34. The mounting bracket 3 is threadedly connected to the external junction box through the screw holes 34.

[0055] Preferably, the mounting bracket 3 has four mounting holes at its four corners, which are used for fixed connection with an external junction box.

[0056] like Figure 3, 4 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the socket assembly 2 matches the first hollow structure 11 and the second hollow structure 31. The socket assembly 2 passes through the first hollow structure 11 and the second hollow structure 31 and is rotatably connected to the first arc plate 324. The mounting portions 21 of the two spherical arc surfaces of the socket assembly 2 are rotatably configured to slide and engage with the spherical arc grooves on the inner wall of the first arc plate 324.

[0057] In this embodiment, the socket assembly 2 includes an outer end face 22 and an inner end face 27 disposed opposite to each other, two mounting portions 21 disposed opposite to each other, and two side faces disposed opposite to each other. The outer end face 22 is substantially parallel to the inner end face 27. A socket 221 is provided on the outer end face 22. The two side faces and the two mounting portions 21 are all located between the outer end face 22 and the inner end face 27. The two side faces are substantially parallel and connected between the two mounting portions 21. Of course, the two side faces may not be parallel, but may be curved or have other structures.

[0058] The socket assembly 2 in this embodiment includes a base 23 and a faceplate 25. A cavity is provided between the base 23 and the faceplate 25. A cover plate 24 is provided in the cavity and connected to the base 23. A socket sleeve 261 and a protective door 262 are provided between the base 23 and the cover plate 24. The two end faces of the base 23 are provided with a first arc surface 231 and a second arc surface 232 that are arranged opposite to each other. The outer end face of the faceplate 25 serves as a third arc surface 251, and the inner end face of the faceplate 25 serves as a fourth arc surface 252. 25 covers the base 23, and the first arc surface 231 and the third arc surface 251 cooperate to form the mounting part 21 of the socket assembly 2. The second arc surface 232 cooperates with the fourth arc surface 252. In this embodiment, the base 23 and the cover plate 24 are snap-fit ​​connected. The base 23 has a plurality of buckles 233 on its side. The buckles 233 are snapped with a plurality of second buckle feet 241 on the cover plate 24, so that the cover plate 24 is snapped with the base 23. Of course, the base 23 and the cover plate 24 can also be fixedly connected in other ways.

[0059] Preferably, the first arc surface 231 of the base 23 is provided with two spaced protrusions 211, and the angle groove 321 of the first arc plate 324 limits the protrusions 211, thereby allowing the socket assembly 2 to rotate to different angles for limiting.

[0060] Preferred, such as Figure 6 As shown, the rotation angle α of the socket assembly 2 within the first arc-shaped plate 324 ranges from 0 degrees to 7 degrees. Clearly, the socket assembly 2 can also rotate to a larger angle.

[0061] Preferred, such as Figure 5As shown, the socket assembly 2 has an outer end face 22 away from the first arc-shaped plate 324, and the outer end face 22 has a socket 221. The outer end face 22 has symmetrically arranged first arc-shaped edges 222. The first arc-shaped edges 222 extend to form a first virtual circle. The first hollow structure and the second hollow structure have arc-shaped structures corresponding to the first arc-shaped edges 222 and 271. The diameter of the first virtual circle is smaller than the diameter of the second virtual circle and the third virtual circle formed by the extension of the arc-shaped structures of the first hollow structure and the second hollow structure. The outer end face 22 of component 2 is provided with an inner end face 27. The inner end face is symmetrically provided with a second arc-shaped edge 271. The second arc-shaped edge 271 extends to form a fourth virtual circle. The diameter of the fourth virtual circle is larger than the diameter of the second virtual circle and the third virtual circle formed by the arc-shaped structure of the first hollow structure and the second hollow structure. The first hollow structure 11 and the second hollow structure 31 limit the socket component 2 so that the socket component 2 will not come off the first arc-shaped plate 324 during rotation between the first arc-shaped plates 324.

[0062] Preferred, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer end face 22 of the socket assembly 2 is provided with a socket hole 221. The distance between the outer end face 22 of the socket assembly 2 and the first arc-shaped plate 324 is greater than the distance between the outer plane of the panel 1 and the first arc-shaped plate 324, allowing the outer end face of the socket assembly 2 to protrude outside the panel 1. This prevents the outer end face 22 of the socket from falling below the outer plane of the panel 1 during the rotation of the socket assembly 2, thus preventing foreign objects from entering the rotation track of the socket assembly 2, i.e., preventing foreign objects from falling into the spherical arc groove of the first arc-shaped plate 324 and obstructing the rotation of the socket assembly 2. In addition, it can prevent the panel 1 from obstructing the insertion of the plug into the socket assembly 2 during the rotation of the socket assembly 2.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the cover plate 24 is configured to fit the inner wall of the cover 25. Multiple second buckles 241 are provided on both sides of the cover plate 24, and multiple buckles 233 are provided on the side wall of the base 23. The cover plate 24 is fastened to the base 23, so that the insert 261 is better protected, the structure is more compact, and it is easy to miniaturize the design.

[0064] Preferably, a terminal block 263, a socket 261, and a protective door 262 are provided between the cover plate 24 and the base 23. The socket 261 is used to connect an external socket, and the terminal block 263 is electrically connected to the socket 261 for connecting wires. The socket 221 on the cover 25 is correspondingly provided with the socket 261, and the protective door 262 is slidably disposed between the socket 221 and the socket 261. The cover plate 24 has a cover plate boss 28 protruding from the inner end face 27. The cover plate boss 28 has a terminal groove for accommodating the terminal block 263 and a wiring hole corresponding to the terminal block 263. That is, a cover plate boss 28 protrudes from the inner end face 27, and the cover plate boss 28 has a terminal groove for accommodating the terminal block 263 and a wiring hole corresponding to the terminal block 263.

[0065] Preferred, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the cover plate 24 and the face cover 25 are snap-fitted together. The side wall of the cover plate 24 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 242. The inner wall of the face cover 25 is provided with a plurality of matching limiting protrusions. The face cover 25 is snapped onto the cover plate 24. The limiting protrusions are upside down on the side of the protrusions 242 facing the base 23, so that the limiting protrusions limit the protrusions 242, thereby fixing the face cover 25 to the cover plate 24.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the panel 1 and the mounting bracket 3 are snap-fit ​​connected. The panel 1 has a square cross-section and extends downward along its side to form a sidewall. The sidewall is provided with a plurality of first fastening feet 12, and the mounting bracket 3 is provided with a plurality of fastening slots 33. The panel 1 is snapped into the mounting bracket 3. The panel 1 is provided with a first hollow structure 11, which matches the shape of the socket assembly 2, thereby allowing the socket assembly 2 to rotate within the first hollow structure 11.
