[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 14 An adapter includes an adapter body 100, a power-collecting arm mechanism 200, and an operating component 300. The power-collecting arm mechanism 200 includes a power-collecting arm 210, a driving component 220, and a linkage elastic component 230. The power-collecting arm 210 is rotatably connected to the adapter body 100 and can unfold and retract relative to the adapter body 100. The driving component 220 is opposite to the power-collecting arm 210, rotatably connected to the adapter body 100, and can reciprocate. The linkage elastic component 230 is disposed between the power-collecting arm 210 and the driving component 220, with both ends abutting against the power-collecting arm 210 and the driving component 220 respectively, and respectively positioning and cooperating with the power-collecting arm 210 and the driving component 220. When the driving component 220 reciprocates, it can cause the linkage elastic component 230 to bend, and through the linkage elastic component 230, it drives the power-collecting arm 210 to unfold and retract. The operating component 300 is disposed on the adapter body 100 and works in conjunction with the driving component 220. The operating component 300 is used to drive the driving component 220 to move.

[0043] When the drive member 220 swings, the two ends of the linkage elastic member 230 are respectively positioned and engaged, and the linkage elastic member 230 can be twisted and bent by the drive member 220. The bent linkage elastic member 230 can link the power-collecting arm 210 to move through the elastic force. When the operation member 300 drives the drive member 220 to swing in opposite directions, the linkage elastic member 230 can be bent in opposite directions, thereby driving the power-collecting arm 210 to switch between the unfolded and retracted states. In the above structure, the driving component 220, the power-collecting arm 210, and the linkage elastic component 230 can form an elastic joint structure. The overall structure is compact and simple. The linkage elastic component 230 is stably positioned and restricted between the driving component 220 and the power-collecting arm 210, and the operation of the power-collecting arm 210 is reliable and stable. The operating component 300 is used to drive the driving component 220 and indirectly link the power-collecting arm 210 through the linkage elastic component 230, thereby avoiding direct rigid drive of the power-collecting arm 210. The structure is stable, and the power-collecting arm 210 can elastically change position to avoid rigid collisions with the outside, providing better protection and improving the stability of the structure's operation.

[0044] In this embodiment, the driving member 220 is provided with a mounting and positioning cavity 221, which has an insertion opening. The linkage elastic member 230 is inserted into the mounting and positioning cavity 221 through the insertion opening. The mounting and positioning cavity 221 has two opposing abutting sidewalls, which are used to support the bent portion of the linkage elastic member 230 when it bends. When the driving member 220 swings, the linkage elastic member 230 is bent and can apply force to the power-collecting arm 210 with the abutting sidewall of the mounting and positioning cavity 221 as support. By providing the mounting and positioning cavity 221 for positioning and cooperation with the linkage elastic member 230, the structure is simple and facilitates the driving member 220 to drive the linkage elastic member 230 to bend. The bent linkage elastic member 230 can also stably apply elastic force to the power-collecting arm 210 with the abutting sidewall as a support point.

[0045] In this embodiment, chamfered edges 222 are provided on both sides of the loading opening of the mounting positioning cavity 221. The chamfered edges 222 can accommodate the linkage elastic member 230 and the power taking arm 210, and also provide support to improve the bending stability of the linkage elastic member 230.

[0046] In this embodiment, the power-collecting arm 210 is provided with a positioning post 211, and the linkage elastic element 230 is a spring with one end sleeved on the positioning post 211. The power-collecting arm 210 achieves positioning and engagement with the linkage elastic element 230 by setting the positioning post 211, which is simple in structure and provides stable positioning.

[0047] It is conceivable that the positioning fit between the linkage elastic element 230, the power-taking arm 210, and the driving element 220 can be set as a positioning cavity or a positioning post as needed, or in other embodiments, a fixed connection, such as a fastener connection, snap-fit, welding, etc., can be used to achieve the positioning fit.

[0048] In this embodiment, the rotation axes of the power-collecting arm 210 and the driving member 220 are parallel to each other, and the driving member 220 and the power-collecting arm 210 are arranged along the axial direction of the adapter. The axial direction of the adapter is shown by double arrow a in the attached figure, which is also the direction in which the adapter is assembled and disassembled. With the above structure, setting the rotation axes of the power-collecting arm 210 and the driving member 220 to be parallel to each other allows most of the elastic force applied by the linkage elastic member 230 to act on the power-collecting arm 210, reducing wasted force. Simultaneously, arranging the driving member 220 and the power-collecting arm 210 axially allows them to be compactly arranged along the axial direction of the adapter, saving radial space in the adapter and reducing its diameter, thereby reducing its overall size.

[0049] In this embodiment, the operating member 300 is a collar structure and is rotatably sleeved around the adapter body 100. The operating member 300 is provided with a linkage part 310, which is linked and cooperates with the driving member 220. When the operating member 300 rotates, it can drive the driving member 220 to change position.

[0050] In this embodiment, two sets of power-collecting arm mechanisms 200 are provided, and the operating member 300 is provided with two linkage parts 310. The two linkage parts 310 respectively correspond to and cooperate with the driving members 220 of the two sets of power-collecting arm mechanisms 200. The two sets of power-collecting arm mechanisms 200 can respectively draw power from the two conductive strips of the track.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 7 In this embodiment, the middle section of the driving member 220 is pivotally connected to the adapter body 100. The driving member 220 is provided with a linkage part 223. The part of the driving member 220 that cooperates with the linkage elastic member 230 and the linkage part 223 are respectively located on both sides of the pivot axis of the driving member 220. The linkage part 310 of the operating member 300 includes two levers 311, which are respectively located on both sides of the linkage part 223. When the operating member 300 rotates forward and backward, it actuates the linkage part 223 through the two levers 311, so that the driving member 220 can swing back and forth. In the above structure, the middle section of the driving member 220 is pivotally connected to the adapter body 100. The part of the driving member 220 that cooperates with the linkage elastic member 230 and the linkage part 223 are respectively located on both sides of the pivot axis of the driving member 220. These two parts on both sides of the pivot axis can easily cooperate with the linkage elastic member 230 and the operating member 300, respectively. The structure is reasonably set and the component movement is stable.

[0052] In the above embodiments, a connecting pivot 224 is provided in the middle section of the drive member 220, and the adapter body 100 is provided with a corresponding pivot hole that pivotally engages with the connecting pivot 224, thereby realizing the rotational connection of the drive member 220. In other embodiments, a pivot can be provided in the adapter body 100 and a corresponding pivot hole can be provided in the drive member 220 to achieve the rotational engagement.

[0053] Reference Figures 8 to 14 In this embodiment, the end of the drive member 220 away from the power-collecting arm 210 is pivotally connected to the adapter body 100. A linkage part 223 is provided at the end of the drive member 220 near the power-collecting arm 210. The linkage part 310 of the operating member 300 includes two levers 311, which are respectively located on both sides of the linkage part 223. When the operating member 300 rotates forward and backward, it actuates the linkage part 223 through the two levers 311, causing the drive member 220 to swing back and forth. With this structure, the end of the drive member 220 away from the power-collecting arm 210 is pivotally connected to the adapter body 100, while the linkage part 223 linked to the operating member 300 is at the end near the power-collecting arm 210. This allows the operating member 300 to more sensitively, quickly, and smoothly drive the drive member 220. In some embodiments, a larger stroke can also be achieved, thereby quickly and fully driving the power-collecting arm 210 to unfold and retract.

[0054] In the above embodiment, a connecting pivot 224 is provided at the end of the drive member 220 away from the power-taking arm 210, and a guide groove 110 is provided in the adapter body 100. The connecting pivot 224 of the drive member 220 is movably disposed in the guide groove 110, thereby allowing the drive member 220 to rotate. Because the connecting pivot 224 of the drive member 220 is movably connected via the guide groove 110, the drive member 220 forms a rotating shaft structure with a certain amount of room for movement, preventing the mechanism from easily jamming. At the same time, the guide groove 110 also facilitates the installation of the connecting pivot 224. Of course, it is conceivable that the drive member 220 can also achieve a rotatable connection with the adapter body 100 through other structures, and the specific configuration can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0055] It is conceivable that the operating component 300 is not limited to using the above-described structure to drive the driving component 220. For example, the operating component 300 may be an operating handle directly set on the driving component 220, directly driving the driving component 220 to reciprocate through the operating handle. Alternatively, the operating component 300 may adopt a button structure, achieving linkage with the driving component 220 through a reasonable linkage structure. It is understood that there are many implementation methods in the art for one component to link the action of another component, and those skilled in the art can configure it reasonably according to the actual situation.

[0056] In one embodiment, the power-collecting arm 210 includes a connecting base 212 and a conductive plate 213. The conductive plate 213 is mounted on the connecting base 212 and has a contact portion. The conductive plate 213 contacts the conductive strip of the track to collect power through the contact portion. In another embodiment, the positioning post 211 is integrally formed with the connecting base 212.

[0057] In this embodiment, the connecting pivots 224 on the drive member 220 are arranged in pairs and respectively on both sides of the drive member 220, and the corresponding structures of the adapter body 100 are also arranged in pairs.

[0058] In this embodiment, the adapter body 100 is provided with a plug-in portion 120, which is a plate structure. The plug-in portion 120 has two default portions 121 that correspond one-to-one with the power-collecting arms 210 of the two sets of power-collecting arm mechanisms 200. When the power-collecting arms 210 are retracted, they can be accommodated in their respective default portions 121. When the power-collecting arms 210 are extended, they can protrude from the plate surface of the plug-in portion 120, and the two power-collecting arms 210 extend from both sides of the plug-in portion 120. When installing the adapter, the power-collecting arms 210 are retracted into the default portions 121 by the operating member 300, thereby facilitating the insertion of the plug-in portion 120 into the insertion opening of the track. After the plug-in portion 120 enters the track, the power-collecting arms 210 can be extended by the operating member 300 to obtain power. In this embodiment, when the two power-taking arms 210 are unfolded, they are set at an acute angle to the plate surface on the side corresponding to the plug-in portion 120, and the included angle direction is the same as the installation direction when the adapter is installed on the track.

[0059] In this embodiment, the adapter is further provided with a latching mechanism 400, which includes two latching members 410 and a locking / unlocking member 420 for driving the two latching members 410 to move. The two latching members 410 are located on both sides of the adapter, and the locking / unlocking member 420 is used to drive the latching members 410 to change position. When installing the adapter, the locking / unlocking member 420 can drive the two latching members 410 into the unlocked position, at which point the latching members 410 can pass through the insertion opening of the track. Then, the locking / unlocking member 420 drives the two latching members 410 into the locked position, where the latching members 410 are latched inside the insertion opening, thereby stably fixing the adapter to the track. The latching members 410 can be provided with T-shaped latching bodies to latch inside the insertion opening of the track. After the T-shaped latching bodies rotate to a position parallel to the insertion opening of the track, they can enter and exit the insertion opening, realizing installation and disassembly.

[0060] This utility model provides a track socket, which includes an adapter according to the first aspect of this utility model. The track socket using this adapter has a compact structure and stable and reliable operation of the power-taking arm.

[0061] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0062] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
