[0026] 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.
[0027] 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 rotatably 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 connector 41, one end of which can extend and retract a data cable 41.
[0028] 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.
[0029] The adapter socket 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 rotary 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 rotary knob 2, and its length is not less than the arc length of the rotation of the rotary knob 2 when switching the extension and retraction of the retractable plug 15. This allows the data cable 41 to pass through the long strip second opening 22 when the rotary knob 2 is rotated, ensuring the normal rotation of the rotary knob 2.
[0030] 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.
[0031] 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.
[0032] 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 telescopic data cable module 4 is positioned above the circuit board 5 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 5. Inside the base 3, the telescopic data cable module 4 is located on one side, and the circuit board 5 is located on the other side. Components 51 are provided on the circuit board 5 and are located beside the telescopic data cable module 4.
[0033] This utility model's adapter socket features a layered design with the circuitry at the bottom and the data cable module 41 at the top. Furthermore, within the base 3, the telescopic data cable module 4 is located on one side, and the circuit board 5 is located on the other side, with components 51 on the circuit board 5 positioned beside the telescopic data cable module 4. This design allows for more efficient use of the space within the base 3, further reducing its size and making the adapter socket more compact. The circuit board 5 serves as the electrical control center for the entire adapter socket, controlling its power supply and signal transmission.
[0034] Specifically, within the base 3, such as Figure 2As 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.
[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the circuit board 5 is positioned on the side away from the first opening 31. With the telescopic data cable module 4 positioned near 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. These components 51 are located beside the telescopic data cable module 4. This partitioned layout makes more efficient use of the internal space of the base 3 and avoids interference between components. The components 51 can be essential components for the adapter socket circuit, such as charging interfaces, capacitors, and resistors.
[0036] 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. The telescopic data cable module 4 is mounted on the studs 32 by screws. The circuit board 5 passes through at least one of the studs 32, thus limiting the position of the circuit board 5 and fixing the telescopic data cable module 4. The circuit board 5 can be further fixed by screws. The base 3 is also mounted on the base 1 by screws, and a top cover 7 is fastened to the top of the base 3.
[0037] The telescopic pin 15 can be L-shaped. The L-shaped telescopic pin 15 is rotatably mounted on the side of the insertion portion 16 at the bottom of the base 1, with one end passing through the bottom of the base 3 and electrically connected to the circuit board 5. The telescopic pin 15 is equipped with a rotating rod 151, the end of which is connected to the bottom of the rotating knob 2. When the rotating knob 2 rotates, the rotating rod 151 drives the telescopic pin 15 to rotate, causing the bottom of the L-shaped telescopic pin 15 to rotate out of the base 1 or retract onto the base 1. Specifically, the bottom of the rotating knob 2 is provided with a mounting edge that surrounds a mounting cavity 231, and the end of the rotating rod 151 is installed in the mounting cavity 231.
[0038] 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.
[0039] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Those skilled in the art can modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and all such modifications and substitutions should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
