Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, specifically to a rotating socket. Background Technology
[0002] A socket usually refers to a power socket, which is generally used as an interface to connect electrical equipment and power sources.
[0003] Because traditional sockets are fixed to walls or other fixed surfaces, when connecting the power cords of various electrical devices to the socket, it is necessary to align the plug on the power cord with the socket's interface before the connection can be completed.
[0004] Therefore, the insertion and removal of plugs are limited by angle; and, in order to facilitate the concealment of wiring, some sockets are often placed close to the ground, which makes it easy for these sockets to be placed under furniture such as desks and dining tables during later use, making it more difficult to connect the plug to the socket and easily affecting the flexibility of electrical equipment use. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model proposes a rotating socket, which solves the problem in related technologies where the socket is blocked, making it difficult for the plug to connect to the socket and affecting the flexibility of electrical equipment use.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A rotary socket includes a base and an input conduit. The input conduit and the base have a first rotating body for rotating the base around the input conduit. The base is fixedly connected to the first rotating body, and the first rotating body is rotatably connected to the input conduit. A first conductive structure is provided between the input conduit and the first rotating body to ensure that the circuit is connected during the rotation of the first rotating body.
[0008] Furthermore, the first conductive structure includes a plurality of first power supply pieces and a plurality of first power conduction pieces, each of the first power supply pieces being electrically connected to each of the first power conduction pieces, and each of the first power conduction pieces being a ring structure.
[0009] Furthermore, a second rotating body is provided between the seat and the first rotating body for rotating the seat around the first rotating body as the rotation center. The seat is fixedly connected to the second rotating body. The second rotating body has a second conductive structure, which is the same as the first conductive structure.
[0010] Furthermore, a third rotating body is provided between the seat and the second rotating body. The third rotating body is fixedly connected to the second rotating body. The seat is flipped and disposed on the third rotating body. A third conductive structure is provided between the seat and the third rotating body. The third conductive structure is the same as the first conductive structure.
[0011] Furthermore, the base includes a socket body and a socket panel, the socket panel being rotatably connected to the socket body, and a fourth conductive structure being provided between the socket panel and the socket body, the fourth conductive structure being the same as the first conductive structure.
[0012] Furthermore, the socket body has a plurality of socket panels, each of which is rotatably connected to the socket body, and each of which has a fourth conductive structure between the socket panel and the socket body.
[0013] Furthermore, the socket panel is provided with a control post for the user to rotate it.
[0014] Furthermore, the control column is slidably connected to the socket panel, and a sliding structure is provided between the socket panel and the control column.
[0015] Furthermore, the pressing and moving structure includes a moving block, an elastic element for resetting the moving block, and a fixing clip. The control column is fixedly connected to the moving block. The moving block has a moving slot. The socket panel has a receiving cavity inside. The moving block is slidably connected to the receiving cavity. The two ends of the fixing clip are respectively rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity and slidably connected to the moving slot.
[0016] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. The base in this utility model is not directly fixed to a wall or other fixed surface. Instead, it is rotatably connected to the input conduit that supplies power to the base via a first rotating body. Under the action of the first rotating body, the base can rotate around the axis of the input conduit, thereby changing the position of the base. The angle of the interface (socket inlet) on the base will also change accordingly, so that the user can find a suitable insertion angle and a convenient insertion position by changing the position of the base. This ensures that the power cord can be easily inserted or removed from this utility model, ensuring the flexibility of the electrical equipment.
[0018] 2. In this embodiment, a first conductive structure is provided between the first rotating body and the input conduit to prevent the current flow path between the input conduit and the seat from being cut off due to the change in the position of the seat when the first rotating body drives the seat to rotate. This ensures that the wires and other components in the input conduit can supply power to the seat normally, thus ensuring the practicality of this utility model. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] like Figures 1-2 , Figure 13 As shown, this embodiment proposes a rotating socket, mainly including a base 1 and an input conduit 2. A first rotating body 3 is provided between the input conduit 2 and the base 1 to allow the base 1 to rotate around the input conduit 2. Compared to traditional sockets fixed to the wall, the base 1 in this embodiment can rotate around the input conduit 2 using the first rotating body 3, thus changing the position of the base 1 and consequently altering the angle of the socket on the base 1 for inserting the power cord plug of electrical equipment. This allows users to find the most convenient position to insert or unplug the power cord plug of electrical equipment by changing the position of the base 1, fully ensuring the flexibility of using electrical equipment.
[0038] The base 1 is fixedly connected to the first rotating body 3. The fixed connection between the base 1 and the first rotating body 3 is preferably an integrally formed connection to ensure the connection strength between the base 1 and the first rotating body 3. The first rotating body 3 is rotatably connected to the input cable tube 2. The rotatable connection between the base 1 and the first rotating body 3 is preferably a hole-shaft type insertion connection. The input cable tube 2 and the first rotating body 3 should have a limiting ring and a limiting ring groove to restrict the first rotating body 3 from detaching from the input cable tube 2, so as to ensure the stability of the rotatable connection between the two.
[0039] A first conductive structure 4 is provided between the input conduit 2 and the first rotating body 3 to ensure that the circuit is connected during the rotation of the first rotating body 3. This prevents the power supply components such as the power supply wire in the input conduit 2 from twisting or moving as the first rotating body 3 rotates, causing the power supply wire to detach from the power connection interface. This would result in the rotating base 1 being unable to supply power to the electrical equipment connected to it, thus affecting the stability of the operation of this embodiment.
[0040] In this embodiment, the first conductive structure 4 includes several first power supply pieces 41 and several first energizing pieces 42. Each first power supply piece 41 is electrically connected to each first energizing piece 42 in a one-to-one correspondence. That is, in this embodiment, the first conductive structure 4 uses two energizing copper pieces corresponding to each other to complete the current transmission. The end of the input conduit 2 close to the first rotating body 3 has a cover plate so that each first power supply piece 41 can be installed on the input conduit 2, while each first energizing piece 42 is fixedly set on the first rotating body 3. Each first energizing piece 42 is a ring structure, that is, no matter how the first rotating body 3 rotates, each first energizing piece 42 can always maintain contact with each first power supply piece 41, and the circuit can always be kept unobstructed during the rotation of the first rotating body 3.
[0041] The number of the first power supply piece 41 and the first power supply piece 42 is preferably three, so that each group of the first power supply piece 41 and the first power supply piece 42 can correspond to the positive pole, negative pole, and zero pole. That is, the power supply circuit in this embodiment has a zero pole, which fully ensures the stability of the power supply in this embodiment.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] Based on Example 1, this example proposes:
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a second rotating body 5 is provided between the base 1 and the first rotating body 3 for rotating the base 1 about the first rotating body 3. The base 1 is fixedly connected to the second rotating body 5. That is, based on embodiment 1, this embodiment can also change the orientation of the base 1 by means of the rotation of the second rotating body 5, so that the user can adjust this embodiment to face them, making it more convenient to insert the plug of the power cord of the electrical equipment into the base 1. Furthermore, by changing the orientation of the base 1, the power cord connected to this embodiment can be effectively prevented from being bent for a long time, thereby avoiding damage to the power cord of the electrical equipment due to long-term bending and improving the safety of the electrical equipment.
[0045] The second rotating body 5 is provided with a second conductive structure 6, which is the same as the first conductive structure 4. That is, when the base 1 rotates under the action of the second rotating body 5, the circuit flow path is cut off, which would prevent this embodiment from being able to supply power normally.
[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second rotating body 5 preferably includes two connecting blocks. The connecting block close to the first rotating body 3 is fixedly connected to the first rotating body 3, and the connecting block close to the base 1 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The second conductive structure 6 is located between adjacent connecting blocks. Each connecting block is a cylindrical structure, thereby avoiding the need for the length and width of the first rotating body 3 to be greater than the diameter of the second conductive piece with the largest diameter due to the installation requirements of the second conductive structure 6. Under the premise of ensuring the support strength of the first rotating body 3, the manufacturing materials can be effectively reduced, thus reducing the production cost of this embodiment.
[0047] Furthermore, there should be limiting structures such as dovetail grooves and dovetail rails between the two connecting blocks. The dovetail grooves and dovetail rails are respectively opened on each connecting block to ensure the stability of the connection between the two connecting blocks.
[0048] Example 3
[0049] Based on Example 2, this example proposes:
[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, a third rotating body 7 is provided between the seat 1 and the second rotating body 5. The third rotating body 7 is fixedly connected to the second rotating body 5. The seat 1 is flipped and set on the third rotating body 7. That is, through the cooperation of the second rotating body 5 and the third rotating body 7, the orientation of the seat 1 on the "X" axis and "Y" axis can be changed, which further improves the angle change performance of the seat 1. In conjunction with the function of the first rotating body 3, the multi-angle rotation of the seat 1 can be completely realized, which fully ensures the practicality of this embodiment.
[0051] A third conductive structure 8 is provided between the base 1 and the third rotating body 7. The third conductive structure 8 has the same structure as the first conductive structure 4. This prevents the circuit flow path from being cut off when the base 1 is flipped under the action of the third rotating body 7, which would cause this embodiment to fail to supply power normally.
[0052] Meanwhile, by flipping the seat 1, a support structure can be formed between the seat 1, the first rotating body 3, and the second rotating body 5. This allows the embodiment to support smaller electrical devices when powering them, saving floor space; achieving two goals at once. In particular, when this embodiment is installed in a bedside table or similar location, it can support a mobile phone, saving space on the bedside table surface.
[0053] Example 4
[0054] Based on Example 3 or Example 1, this example proposes:
[0055] like Figures 5-6 , Figure 8As shown, the socket 1 in this embodiment includes a main socket body 11 and a socket panel 12. The socket panel 12 is rotatably connected to the socket body 11. That is, without rotating the socket 1, the angle of the socket on the socket 1 can be changed by rotating the socket panel 12, which improves the practicality of this embodiment. A fourth conductive structure 9 is provided between the socket panel 12 and the socket body 11. The fourth conductive structure 9 has the same structure as the first conductive structure 4, which prevents the current flow path inside the socket 1 from being interrupted during the rotation of the socket panel 12, so that the socket 1 cannot supply power to electrical equipment.
[0056] The socket panel 12 has a control post 121 for easy rotation by the user. This provides a protrusion on the socket panel 12, allowing the user to move the socket panel 12 by pushing the protrusion, thus facilitating user control of the socket panel 12's movement. The control post 121 is fixedly mounted on the socket panel 12 to prevent it from detaching from the socket panel 12 when the user moves the socket panel 12 using the control post 121.
[0057] Example 5
[0058] Based on Example 4, this example proposes:
[0059] like Figure 7 As shown, the socket body 11 in this embodiment has a plurality of socket panels 12, each socket panel 12 is rotatably connected to the socket body 11, and each socket panel 12 and the socket body 11 have a fourth conductive structure 9. That is, the socket body 1 in this embodiment has multiple interfaces, which facilitates the simultaneous power supply of multiple electrical devices and fully ensures the practicality of this embodiment.
[0060] Example 6
[0061] Based on Example 4 or Example 5, this example proposes:
[0062] like Figures 9-12 As shown, in this embodiment, the control post 121 is slidably connected to the socket panel 12. There is a push-pull structure 10 between the socket panel 12 and the control post 121, so that the control post 121 can be moved down into the socket panel 12 by manual pressing. This allows the control post 121 to be hidden when the socket panel 12 does not need to be rotated, thereby preventing the socket panel 12 from moving due to accidental touch during daily use and ensuring the stability of daily operation of this embodiment.
[0063] Specifically, the pressing and moving structure 10 in this embodiment mainly includes a moving block 101, an elastic element 102 for resetting the moving block 101, a fixing clip 103, and a control column 121 fixedly connected to the moving block 101. That is, when the user presses the control column 121, the moving block 101 will also move along with it.
[0064] The socket panel 12 has a receiving cavity 122 inside. The moving block 101 is slidably connected in the receiving cavity 122, so that the socket panel 12 has reserved space for the moving block 101 to move, ensuring that the moving block 101 can move normally inside the socket panel 12. The elastic element 102 is located between the moving block 101 and the receiving cavity 122. That is, when the user presses the control column 121 to move the moving block 101, the elastic element 102 can be compressed, so that the elastic element 102 begins to accumulate elastic potential energy, so that when the user presses the control column 121 again, the elastic potential energy accumulated by the elastic element 102 can be used to reset it.
[0065] In this embodiment, the elastic element 102 is preferably a compression spring because compression springs have good stability and durability.
[0066] The movable block 101 is provided with a movable slot 1011. The two ends of the fixed clip 103 are respectively rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 122 and slidably connected in the movable slot 1011. The movable slot 1011 has a ring structure on the projection surface of the vertical horizontal plane so that when the user presses the control column 121, the fixed clip 103 is subjected to force and moves cyclically along the movable slot 1011. During this movement, the end of the fixed clip 103 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 122 will be subjected to force and rotate. The movable slot 1011 has a corresponding fixing part (fixing recess) so that when the fixed clip 103 moves to the designated position (fixing recess), it can slide into the fixing recess. Due to the influence of gravity, it is difficult to disengage from the fixing recess without the intervention of external force, thereby realizing the self-locking of the pressing and sliding structure 10, so that the control column 121 is fixed inside or outside the socket panel 12.
[0067] Example 7
[0068] Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, Embodiment 3, Embodiment 4, Embodiment 5, or Embodiment 6, this embodiment proposes: setting a damping rotation structure, such as a damping shaft, at the rotational connection of rotating components such as the first rotating body 3, the second rotating body 5, and the third rotating body 7. This allows the embodiment to achieve self-locking fixation by means of the friction force brought by the damping structure without human intervention, so that the seat 1 can stop in a certain position by itself without the need for additional control of other structures to fix the seat 1, thus improving the ease of use of this embodiment.
[0069] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
