Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket adapter technology, specifically a multi-functional socket adapter. Background Technology

[0002] With the increase in global tourism and trade, and the different socket standards in various countries, socket adapters have become a necessity for people who frequently travel abroad.

[0003] Existing socket adapters, such as the patent application CN202321632763.9 entitled "Modular Assembled Electrical Connection Converter," disclose an adapter that includes a housing, a connector, pins, and a packaging assembly. The housing has an open cavity, and the connector is slidably fitted into the open cavity. At least two sets of pins are slidably connected to the connector. The pins include European standard pins, British standard pins, and American / Australian standard pins. The American and Australian standard pins share a set of pins, but the included angles of the two pins of the American and Australian standard pins are different. To achieve the sharing of American and Australian standard pins, the American / Australian standard pins are designed to be rotatable. However, in this adapter, the two pins of the American / Australian standard pins are independent. When converting between American and Australian standard pins, both pins need to be rotated separately. If one pin is not rotated or is not rotated properly, the pin cannot be inserted into the socket. Therefore, its structure needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies and to disclose to the public a multi-functional socket adapter with a simple and reasonable structure, and convenient and quick conversion between American standard and Australian standard plug forms.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A multi-functional socket adapter includes an adapter body with a socket hole and a plug assembly that telescopically engages with the adapter body. The plug assembly includes an American standard / Australian standard plug assembly, which includes two plug parts that rotatably engage with the adapter body. Each plug part has a linkage member with linkage teeth, and the linkage teeth on the two linkage members mesh with each other.

[0007] Further optimization measures for this technical solution are as follows:

[0008] As an improvement, the pins pass through the corresponding linkages and are connected and fixed with pins.

[0009] As an improvement, the pin assembly also includes European standard pin assemblies and British standard pin assemblies.

[0010] As an improvement, the structure of the extension and retraction cooperation between the plug assembly and the adapter body is as follows: the adapter body is provided with guide grooves corresponding to the number of plug assemblies; the adapter body is provided with a limiting plate that can elastically reset and cooperate with the adapter body; the limiting plate is provided with an inclined surface and a limiting part; the plug assembly is provided with a push button that passes through the limiting plate and the corresponding guide groove; the limiting plate is also provided with a hook; and the plug assembly is provided with a hook-fitting part that matches the hook. This design allows only one plug assembly to extend, avoiding the simultaneous extension of multiple plug assemblies and thus preventing interference with use.

[0011] As an improvement, a reset switch is connected to the limiting plate, which slides in conjunction with the adapter body. If the pin assembly accidentally jams, the reset switch can be used to retract all the pin assemblies into the adapter body.

[0012] As an improvement, the socket hole includes a combination of sockets on the upper surface of the adapter body that are compatible with European standard pins, British standard pins, American standard pins, and Australian standard pins.

[0013] As an improvement, the socket hole also includes a double-hole socket adapted to Chinese-style plugs, which is provided on the side of the adapter body.

[0014] As an improvement, the adapter body is equipped with a USB interface.

[0015] As an improvement, the converter head body is also equipped with a Type-C interface.

[0016] As an improvement, the converter head body is equipped with a power indicator light.

[0017] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0018] This utility model discloses a multi-functional socket adapter with a simple and reasonable structure. By setting a linkage structure on the American standard / Australian standard plug assembly, that is, by the meshing transmission of linkage teeth, the synchronous movement of the two plug components is realized. This can improve the conversion efficiency between the American standard plug shape and the Australian standard plug shape, and also avoid the situation where one plug component forgets to rotate.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be used in other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0030] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of this utility model, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or position based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the purpose of simplifying the description of this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0031] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a multi-functional socket adapter includes an adapter body 1, on which a socket hole is provided. The adapter body 1 is also provided with a plug assembly that telescopically engages with the adapter body 1. The plug assembly includes an American standard / Australian standard plug assembly 2. The American standard / Australian standard plug assembly 2 includes two plug parts 21 that are rotatably engaged with the adapter body 1. Each plug part 21 is provided with a linkage part 22. The linkage part 22 is provided with a linkage tooth 22a, and the linkage teeth 22a on the two linkage parts 22 mesh with each other.

[0033] The pin 21 passes through the corresponding linkage 22 and is connected and fixed by the pin 23.

[0034] The adapter of this utility model has a linkage mechanism in its American standard / Australian standard plug assembly 2, which enables the two plug parts 21 of the American standard / Australian standard plug assembly 2 to rotate synchronously. Specifically, a linkage member 22 is connected to the plug part 21, and the linkage teeth 22a of the two linkage members 22 mesh. When one plug part 21 rotates, the other plug part 21 will be driven to rotate synchronously through the transmission of the linkage member 22. The linkage structure can improve the conversion efficiency between the American standard plug form and the Australian standard plug form of the American standard / Australian standard plug assembly 2, and also avoid the situation where one plug part 21 forgets to rotate.

[0035] The pin assembly also includes a European standard pin assembly 3 and a British standard pin assembly 4.

[0036] The structure of the plug assembly and the adapter body 1 in telescopic cooperation is as follows: the adapter body 1 is provided with guide grooves 11 corresponding to the number of plug assemblies; a limiting plate 5 is provided inside the adapter body 1, which can elastically reset and cooperate with the adapter body 1; the limiting plate 5 is provided with an inclined part 51 and a limiting part 52; the plug assembly is provided with a push button 6 passing through the limiting plate 5 and the corresponding guide groove 11; the limiting plate 5 is also provided with a hook 53; and the plug assembly is provided with a hooking part 54 adapted to the hook 53. For every 3 plug assemblies, the limiting plate 5 is provided with 3 hooks 53.

[0037] like Figure 6As shown, the British standard plug assembly 4 has a hook part 54 in the middle, and the American standard / Australian standard plug assembly 2 also has a hook part 54; the European standard plug assembly 3 has a two-stage protrusion structure, and the European standard plug assembly 3 has two hook parts 54.

[0038] A reset spring is provided between the limiting plate 5 and the adapter body 1, so that the limiting plate 5 can automatically reset. Each pin assembly is also provided with a reset spring between itself and the adapter body 1, so that the pin assembly can automatically retract into the adapter body 1 after it is released from the limitation of the limiting part 52.

[0039] The limiting plate 5 is connected to a reset switch 7, which is slidably engaged with the conversion head body 1.

[0040] The American / Australian standard pin assembly 2, the European standard pin assembly 3, and the British standard pin assembly 4 are all designed with one of them extending out. Figure 1 In order to show the structure more completely, American / Australian standard plug assembly 2, European standard plug assembly 3 and British standard plug assembly 4 extend simultaneously. In actual use of this adapter, under normal circumstances, only one of the three (American / Australian standard plug assembly 2, European standard plug assembly 3 and British standard plug assembly 4) will extend.

[0041] The working principle of one of the three prongs (US / Australian standard, European standard, and British standard) extending: The prongs are telescopically connected to the adapter body 1. When carrying or storing this adapter, the US / Australian standard, European standard, and British standard prongs can be retracted into the adapter body 1 to reduce the size and protect the prongs. When the prongs need to be extended, simply push the push button 6 to extend the required prongs. Pushing the push button 6 causes the prongs to move along the guide groove 11. During the movement of the prongs, the inclined surface 51 is acted upon, thereby pushing the limiting plate 5 to move horizontally until the prongs move below the limiting part 52. After the limiting plate 5 returns to its original position, it limits the prongs. At the same time, the hook 53 on the limiting plate 5 hooks the hook part 54 on the prongs to fix them, keeping the prongs in the extended state. When one pin assembly is extended, if another pin assembly is in the extended state, as the limiting plate 5 moves, the limiting part 52 on the limiting plate 5 will lose its restriction on the extended pin assembly. At the same time, the hook 53 disengages from the hook part 54, and the extended pin assembly will retract into the converter head body 1 under the action of the return spring, thereby achieving the purpose of selectively extending one pin assembly.

[0042] The reset switch 7 is connected to the limit plate 5. The reset switch 7 can actively drive the limit plate 5 to move horizontally. The reset switch 7 can also retract the protruding pin assembly into the adapter body 1. When the pin assembly is stuck by the limit plate 5, the reset switch 7 can also retract the pin assembly into the adapter body 1.

[0043] The socket holes include a socket assembly 1a disposed on the upper surface of the adapter body 1, which is compatible with European standard pins, British standard pins, American standard pins, and Australian standard pins. The use of socket assembly 1a allows for a more compact structure.

[0044] The socket hole also includes a double-hole socket 1b adapted to Chinese-style plugs, which is disposed on the side of the adapter body 1.

[0045] The adapter's sockets can meet the connection requirements of European standard, British standard, American standard, Australian standard, and Chinese standard plugs.

[0046] The adapter body 1 is equipped with a USB interface 1c.

[0047] The converter head body 1 is also provided with a type-c interface 1d.

[0048] The adapter is equipped with both a USB port 1c and a Type-C port 1d, which expands its functionality to meet different user needs.

[0049] The converter head body 1 is equipped with a power indicator light 1e. When the converter head is powered on, the power indicator light 1e lights up.

[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
