Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conversion socket technology, and in particular to a conversion socket and power rail kit. Background Technology

[0002] Power rails are a new type of power supply device. They are typically installed on desktops or walls to provide power to various electronic devices. Power rails have elongated power rail sockets, allowing users to insert adapters at any position as needed, greatly improving ease of use.

[0003] The adapter socket is a core component of the power rail system. After being inserted into the socket on the power rail, turning the knob extends the positive and negative prongs of the socket, establishing an electrical connection and allowing power to flow. In short, the adapter socket controls the power on and off by rotating the knob.

[0004] Integrating a retractable data cable module into a power line adapter is a novel approach. However, installing a retractable data cable module on the adapter requires considering both the individual settings and normal operation of the rotary knob and the retractable data cable, making the setup rather cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a converter socket and power rail kit to solve the problem that the existing converter socket has a telescopic data cable module, which requires simultaneous consideration of the setting and normal use of the rotary knob and the telescopic data cable, making the setup cumbersome.

[0007] The base has a first opening on its side, and the rotating knob has a second opening on its side corresponding to the first opening. The second opening extends along the rotation direction of the rotating knob in a long strip shape, and the length of the second opening is not less than the rotation arc length of the rotating knob when it drives the telescopic plug to switch between the extended and retracted states.

[0012] Optionally, the circuit board is located on the side away from the first opening, and components are mounted on the circuit board, located beside the telescopic data cable module; or

[0013] The telescopic winding data cable module includes a housing, a data cable installed inside the housing, and a cable outlet on the side of the housing. One end of the data cable connector is led out from the cable outlet and then passes through a first opening and a second opening.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the adapter provided in this embodiment are as follows: The adapter has a first opening on the side of the base and a second opening corresponding to the first opening on the side of the rotating knob. This allows the data cable connector inside the base to extend through both the first and second openings, ensuring normal extension and retraction of the data cable. Simultaneously, the second opening extends elongated along the rotation direction of the rotating knob, and its length is not less than the arc length of the rotation of the knob when switching between the extended and retracted states of the connector.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] This utility model embodiment provides a conversion socket, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the adapter includes a base 3, a rotary knob 2, a base 1, and a telescopic data cable module 4. The base 3 is mounted on the base 1, and the rotary knob 2 is rotatably mounted on the base 3. The base 1 is provided with telescopic prongs 15 that can extend and retract on the base 1. The rotary knob 2 is connected to the telescopic prongs 15 to drive the telescopic prongs 15 to extend and retract. The telescopic data cable module 4 is mounted in the base 3 and includes a data cable 41 with one end of a data cable connector 41 that can extend and retract.

[0032] The base 3 has a first opening 31 on its side, and the rotating knob 2 has a second opening 22 on its side corresponding to the first opening 31. The second opening 22 extends along the rotation direction of the rotating knob 2 and is elongated. The length of the second opening 22 is not less than the rotation arc length of the rotating knob 2 when it drives the telescopic plug 15 to switch between the extended and retracted states. The data cable connector 411 extends from the first opening 31 and the second opening 22 to the outside of the adapter socket.

[0033] The adapter socket of this utility model has a first opening 31 on the side of the base 3 and a second opening 22 corresponding to the first opening 31 on the side of the rotating knob 2. This allows the data cable connector 411 of the data cable 41, located inside the base 3, to extend through the first opening 31 and the second opening 22, ensuring the normal extension and retraction of the data cable 41. Simultaneously, the second opening 22 extends in a long strip along the rotation direction of the rotating knob 2, and its length is not less than the arc length of the rotation of the rotating knob 2 to switch the extension and retraction of the retractable plug 15. Thus, when the rotating knob 2 rotates, the long strip of the second opening 22 can avoid the data cable 41, ensuring the normal rotation of the rotating knob 2.

[0034] Specifically, in use, the telescopic plug 15 of the base 1 is inserted into the power rail socket in the retracted state. Turning the knob 2, for example, clockwise, drives the telescopic plug 15 to extend from the base 1 and make contact with the electrical connection piece in the socket to conduct electricity. Turning it counterclockwise drives the telescopic plug 15 to retract onto the base 1, and the adapter can be pulled out of the socket.

[0035] Optionally, the first opening 31 is provided at the top edge of the base 3. The first opening 31 only needs to allow the data cable 41 to pass through, and its opening size can be set to be smaller than the second opening 22 to accommodate the size of the data cable 41. The data cable connector 411 is larger, and since the first opening 31 is at the top edge of the base 3, the data cable 41 can be installed into the first opening 31 through this opening during assembly, which facilitates assembly.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the adapter also includes a circuit board 5, which is installed at the bottom of the base 3. A retractable data cable module 4 is positioned above the circuit board 5 and is electrically connected to it. This layered design, with the circuit board at the bottom and the retractable data cable module 4 at the top, makes more efficient use of the space inside the base 3, further reducing its size and making the adapter more compact. The circuit board 5 serves as the electrical control center of the entire adapter, controlling its power supply and signal transmission. Specifically, projected along the center of the adapter, the projected area of ​​the retractable data cable module 4 is smaller than the projected area of ​​the circuit board 5.

[0037] Within base 3, such as Figure 2 As shown, the telescopic winding data cable module 4 is located on the side closer to the first opening 31. Because the telescopic winding data cable module 4 is close to the first opening 31, the data cable 41 has a shorter path during extension and retraction, reducing potential interference between the data cable 41 and other components inside the base 3, lowering the risk of jamming during extension and retraction, improving the smoothness and stability of the data cable 41's extension and retraction. The circuit board 5 is located on the side farther from the first opening 31.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the circuit board 5 is positioned on the side away from the first opening 31. Components 51 are mounted on the circuit board 5, located beside the telescopic data cable module 4. With the telescopic data cable module 4 positioned closer to the first opening 31, the circuit board 5 is arranged on the side away from the first opening 31, leaving ample space above the circuit board 5 for the components 51, which are positioned beside the telescopic data cable module 4. This partitioned layout makes more efficient use of the internal space of the base 3 and avoids mutual interference between components. Components 51 can be necessary components for the adapter socket circuit, such as charging interfaces, capacitors, and resistors.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the telescopic winding data cable module 4 includes a housing 42, with a data cable 41 installed inside the housing 42. A cable outlet 421 is provided on the side of the housing 42. One end of the data cable connector 411 extends from the cable outlet 421 and passes through the first opening 31 and the second opening 22. The cable outlet 421 is positioned opposite or close to the first opening 31. This positioning of the cable outlet 421 opposite or close to the first opening 31 further shortens the path of the data cable 41 from the housing 42 to the outside of the base 3, reducing space occupation, avoiding interference between the data cable 41 and other parts, and improving the stability of telescopic movement. The telescopic winding data cable module 4 includes a turntable on which the data cable 41 is wound. A coil spring can be installed on the turntable to provide contraction force for the data cable 41. Specifically, the telescopic winding data cable module 4 can be a commonly used telescopic winding data cable module 4, which will not be described in detail here. The base 3 has multiple studs 32, and the telescopic winding data cable module 4 is fixedly installed on the studs 32 by screws. The base 3 is also installed on the base 1 by screws, and the top cover 7 is fastened to the top of the base 3.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the adapter also includes an elastic deformable element 6, and a limiting structure 11 is provided on the base 1. The elastic deformable element 6 is limited on the base 1 by the limiting structure 11. A driving structure 21 is provided on the rotating knob 2 corresponding to the elastic deformable element 6. When the rotating knob 2 is rotated, the driving structure 21 drives the elastic deformable element 6 to deform and bend in the driving direction, and the elastic deformable element 6 maintains its deformed and bent state.

[0041] The adapter socket of this utility model has a limiting structure 11 on the base 1. The elastic deformation member 6 is limited on the base 1 by the limiting structure 11. The rotating knob 2 is provided with a driving structure 21. When the rotating knob 2 rotates, it drives the driving structure 21 to rotate, and the driving structure 21 drives the elastic deformation member 6 to deform in the driving direction. When the rotating knob 2 is rotated to the correct position, the elastic deformation member 6 achieves deformation and bending in the driving direction under the action of the driving structure 21 and remains in the deformed and bent state. At this time, if the rotating knob 2 is rotated in the opposite direction, it needs to overcome the deformation and bending of the elastic deformation member 6. Therefore, after the rotating knob 2 is rotated to the correct position, the elastic deformation member 6 can play a positioning role, so that the rotating knob 2 can be positioned in the current state and is not easy to deviate from the current position. That is, after the rotating knob 2 is rotated to the power-on or power-off state, it can remain in the current state and is not easy to deviate from the original position, reducing inconvenience and safety hazards.

[0042] Specifically, rotating knob 2 in the first direction causes the drive structure 21 to drive the elastic deformation element 6 to deform in the first direction, and the elastic deformation element 6 maintains its deformation; rotating knob 2 in the second direction causes the drive structure 21 to drive the elastic deformation element 6 to deform in the second direction, and the elastic deformation element 6 maintains its deformation; the first direction and the second direction are opposite. For example, when knob 2 is rotated in the first direction, the telescopic plug 15 on the base 1 is rotated out of the base 1, thereby making the telescopic plug 15 contact the electrical connection piece in the power rail socket to achieve power supply to the adapter socket, at which time the adapter socket is in a powered state; rotating knob 2 in the opposite direction of the first direction, i.e., the second direction, causes the telescopic plug 15 on the base 1 to rotate and retract into the base 1, thereby making the telescopic plug 15 disengage from the electrical connection piece in the power rail socket to achieve power disconnection of the adapter socket, at which time the adapter socket is in a powered-off state. The elastic deformation element 6 can be a spring 61, or other components that can deform under the drive structure 21 and have elastic deformation capability.

[0043] The telescopic plug 15 can be configured in an L-shape. The L-shaped telescopic plug 15 is rotatably mounted inside the base 1, with one end passing through the bottom of the base 3 and electrically connected to the circuit board 5. The telescopic plug 15 is provided with a rotating rod 151, the end of which is connected to the bottom of the rotating knob 2. When the rotating knob 2 is rotated, the telescopic plug 15 is driven to rotate through the rotating rod 151, and the bottom of the L-shaped telescopic plug 15 rotates out of the base 1 or is stored on the base 1.

[0044] Specifically, the limiting structure 11 includes a limiting flange 111, which encloses a limiting deformation zone 12. The elastic deformable element 6 is limited within and deforms within the limiting deformation zone 12. This solution uses the limiting flange 111 to enclose the limiting deformation zone 12, thereby limiting the elastic deformable element 6 within the limiting deformation zone 12. When the elastic deformable element 6 deforms in a first or second direction under the drive of the driving structure 21, its deformation range is limited within the limiting flange 111, i.e., the limiting deformation zone 12. The limiting flange 111 enables the limiting installation of the elastic deformable element 6, resulting in a simple, stable, and reliable structure.

[0045] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, two opposing abutment portions 13 are provided within the limiting deformation zone 12. The elastic deformation element 6 is a spring 61, with both ends of the spring 61 corresponding to the two abutment portions 13. When the driving structure 21 drives the spring 61 to bend and deform, the ends of the spring 61 abut against the abutment portions 13. The abutment portions 13 can further limit the spring 61, maintaining the stability of the elastic deformation element 6 during installation. Furthermore, when the driving structure 21 drives the spring 61 to bend and deform, the abutment portions 13 can provide abutment positions for the ends of the spring 61, ensuring the stability of the spring 61 during the deformation process. Specifically, the abutment portions 13 have inclined abutment surfaces 131 on both sides. When the spring 61 bends and deforms, the ends of the spring 61 abut against the inclined abutment surfaces 131. The inclined abutment surfaces 131 can adapt to the ends of the spring 61 during the deformation process, achieving good positioning of the ends of the spring 61.

[0046] The limiting flange 111 includes a first flange 111a and a second flange 111b disposed opposite to each other. The first flange 111a opens toward the second flange 111b, and the second flange 111b opens toward the first flange 111a. The opening of the first flange 111a gradually widens from the end away from the second flange 111b to the end closer to the second flange 111b. The opening of the second flange 111b gradually widens from the end away from the first flange 111a to the end closer to the first flange 111a. In this design, the openings of the first flange 111a and the second flange 111b are arranged to gradually widen, thereby limiting the deformation area 12, which can be adapted to the deformation range of the spring 61, ensuring that the spring 61 is limited while also ensuring the deformation of the spring 61.

[0047] Specifically, a notch 14 is provided between the two ends of the first protruding edge 111a and the second protruding edge 111b to allow the drive structure 21 to move. The two ends of the first protruding edge 111a and the second protruding edge 111b are not connected together, but are set separately. The notch 14 is left between the two ends of the first protruding edge 111a and the second protruding edge 111b. The existence of the notch 14 facilitates the installation of the drive structure 21 and facilitates the movement of the drive structure 21 to drive the elastic deformation member 6.

[0048] The first protruding edge 111a includes a first transverse protruding edge 111a1 and two first limiting protruding arms 111a2. The two first limiting protruding arms 111a2 are respectively connected to both ends of the first transverse protruding edge 111a1, and the ends away from the first transverse protruding edge 111a1 are inclined outwards towards the limiting deformation area 12. The second protruding edge 111b includes a second transverse protruding edge 111b2 and two second limiting protruding arms 111b1. One end of the two second limiting protruding arms 111b1 is connected to both ends of the second transverse protruding edge 111b2, and the ends away from the edge of the base 1 are inclined outwards towards the limiting deformation area 12. One abutment portion 13 is disposed on one side of the first transverse protruding edge 111a1 located in the limiting deformation area 12, and the other abutment portion 13 is disposed on one side of the second transverse protruding edge 111b2 located in the limiting deformation area 12. A notch 14 is formed between the corresponding first protrusion 111a, first limiting protrusion 111a2, and second protrusion 111b, second limiting protrusion 111b1. The first limiting protrusion 111a2 and the second limiting protrusion 111b1 are inclined outward toward the limiting deformation area 12, so that the first protrusion 111a and the second protrusion 111b have a gradually widening opening shape. The arrangement of the first transverse protrusion 111a1, the second transverse protrusion 111b2, and the abutment 13 facilitates the installation and positioning of both ends of the spring 61.

[0049] Furthermore, the drive structure 21 includes two opposing drive protrusions 211, which are located on both sides of the elastic deformable member 6. Specifically, the drive structure 21 is configured with two opposing drive protrusions 211, located on both sides of the elastic deformable member 6. When the knob 2 rotates in the first direction, one drive protrusion 211 pushes one side of the spring 61, causing the spring 61 to deform in the first direction, thereby positioning the elastic deformable member 6 on the knob 2. When the knob 2 rotates in the second direction, the other drive protrusion 211 pushes the spring 61 to deform in the first direction, thereby positioning the elastic deformable member 6 on the knob 2.

[0050] This utility model also discloses an electric track kit, including an electric track and the aforementioned adapter socket, which is used to draw power from the electric track. Specifically, after the adapter socket is inserted into the socket of the electric track, rotating the rotating knob 2 causes the telescopic plug 15 to rotate out from the base 1, and the telescopic plug 15 connects with the electrical connecting piece inside the socket of the electric track to draw power.
