Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, and more specifically, to an adapter for a track socket. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, people need to use more and more electrical appliances, thus requiring a greater number of wall sockets. Ordinary wall sockets are often insufficient, while installing too many can be aesthetically displeasing. Therefore, track sockets have emerged as a solution.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN116505317A, published on July 28, 2023, entitled "Adapter for Track-Type Socket," discloses an adapter comprising two auxiliary gears (2), two conductive pins (3), and a main gear (5) mounted on a rotating ring (4) on a base (1). Before the adapter is installed on the track plate (9), rotating the rotating ring (4) allows the conductive inserts (32) of the two conductive pins (3) to be positioned in the two opening slots (111) of the base (1). After the insert plate (11) of the base (1) extends into the groove of the track plate (9), rotating the rotating ring (4) allows the conductive inserts (32) of the two conductive pins (3) to extend outward from the two opening slots (111), and the two conductive inserts (32) are inserted into the conductive sleeves (911) on the left and right walls of the track plate (9). This adapter has the advantages of being easy to install and use.

[0004] In the aforementioned application, the main gear is controlled by a rotating ring on the rotary adapter, which in turn controls the extension of the conductive insert, allowing the electrode to contact the conductive strip on the power rail for power extraction. However, because the extension of the conductive insert is driven by a gear structure, the extension speed is relatively slow, which can easily lead to current arcing and poses a certain safety risk. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention overcomes the problem that in existing adapters, the electrodes extend and retract via gears. Because the gears drive the conductive inserts to extend slowly, current arcing is easily generated, posing a safety risk. This invention provides an adapter for a track socket that utilizes the elasticity of a spring to achieve rapid contact between the conductive inserts and the conductive strips on the power track, thereby avoiding current arcing caused by the slow extension speed of the conductive inserts and reducing safety risks.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an adapter for a track socket, comprising:

[0007] The base has a plate on it, and a conductive insert is provided on each of the two end faces of the plate.

[0008] A socket is installed inside the base, and the socket has a contact groove.

[0009] The swinging insert has one end inserted into the insert plate and connected to the conductive insert, while the other end abuts against the contact groove under the action of the spring.

[0010] The rotating ring has actuating elements located on both sides of the spring on its inner wall.

[0011] In this application, a rotating ring, a swinging insert, and a spring are used to control the contact between the conductive insert and the conductive strip of the power rail for conduction. During the rotation of the rotating ring, the spring ensures rapid contact between the conductive insert and the conductive strip, preventing arcing due to slow insertion speed and reducing safety risks. Furthermore, the use of the swinging insert and spring to control energization and de-energization between the conductive insert and the conductive strip results in a simpler and more compact structure.

[0012] Preferably, the side of the swing insert away from the contact groove is provided with an abutment, and the spring abuts against the outside of the abutment.

[0013] The spring abuts against the outside of the abutment, allowing the spring to stably abut against the swinging insert.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the base is provided with an abutment groove with a gradually increasing opening, and the end of the spring away from the swing insert abuts against the abutment groove.

[0015] The two ends of the spring abut against the abutment and the abutment groove respectively, so that the spring can stably abut against the swing insert.

[0016] Preferably, it also includes an inner seat, which has an inner seat hole, and the insert is placed in the inner seat hole; a mounting bracket is provided on the side of the inner seat away from the base, and limit plates are provided on both sides of the mounting bracket, with the limit plates abutting against the top of the swing insert.

[0017] The limiting plate can limit the position of the swing insert at the top, preventing the position of the swing insert from becoming misaligned during swinging.

[0018] Preferably, the insert plate has an internal mounting cavity, and the side wall of the mounting cavity has an end face through groove; the swing insert is disposed in the mounting cavity, and the conductive insert can be retracted from the end face through groove into the mounting cavity.

[0019] The mounting cavity facilitates the installation of structures such as swing inserts and conductive inserts.

[0020] Preferably, a rotating hole is provided inside the mounting cavity, and a rotating head that mates with the rotating hole is provided at the end of the swing insert.

[0021] The fit between the rotating head and the rotating hole allows the rotating head to rotate within the rotating hole when the oscillating insert rotates, making the rotation of the oscillating insert more stable.

[0022] Preferably, a locking plate is rotatably installed inside the base, and the locking plate is provided with two locking hooks that are inserted into the insert plate; the two locking hooks are respectively located on the two end faces of the insert plate; a torsion spring is also provided inside the base to push the locking plate to maintain the locked state; an unlocking button is provided on the side wall of the base, the unlocking button abuts against the locking plate, pressing the unlocking button pushes the locking plate to rotate, thereby releasing the locking state of the locking plate.

[0023] When in use, press the unlock button. The unlock button moves inward toward the base and pushes the inclined push surface on the lock plate. Under the action of the inclined push surface, the lock plate rotates around the protrusion, causing the two locking hooks on the lock plate to retract into the insert plate, thereby facilitating the installation and separation of the adapter and power rail of this application.

[0024] Preferably, a protrusion is provided on the base, the protrusion is located on the central axis perpendicular to the insert plate, and a through hole is provided on the locking plate to cooperate with the protrusion.

[0025] When in use, press the unlock button. The unlock button moves inward toward the base and pushes the inclined push surface on the lock plate. Under the action of the inclined push surface, the lock plate rotates around the protrusion, causing the two locking hooks on the lock plate to retract into the insert plate, thereby facilitating the installation and separation of the adapter and power rail of this application.

[0026] Preferably, the lock plate is provided with an inclined push surface, and the unlock button abuts against the inclined push surface.

[0027] The unlock button pushes the inclined push surface on the lock plate. Under the action of the inclined push surface, the lock plate rotates around the protrusion, causing the two locking hooks on the lock plate to retract into the insert plate, thus realizing the rotation of the lock plate.

[0028] Preferably, a plug surface is provided on the side of the rotating ring away from the base, the plug surface is fixedly connected to the base, and the rotating ring is rotatably positioned between the plug surface and the base.

[0029] The insert is fixedly connected to the base, while the rotating ring is rotatably positioned between the base and the insert.

[0030] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention uses a rotating ring, a swinging insert, and a spring to control the contact between the conductive insert and the conductive strip of the power rail. During the rotation of the rotating ring, the spring enables the conductive insert to quickly contact the conductive strip of the power rail, thus avoiding current arcing caused by a slow extension speed of the conductive insert and reducing safety risks. Furthermore, this application uses the swinging insert and spring to achieve energization and de-energization between the conductive insert and the conductive strip of the power rail, resulting in a simpler and more compact structure.

[0046] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0047] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an adapter for a track socket includes:

[0048] The base 1 has a bottom plate 2, which is integrally formed with the base. A conductive insert 3 is provided on each of the two end faces of the insert plate.

[0049] A socket 6 is provided inside the base, and a contact groove 61 is provided on the socket;

[0050] The swing insert 4 has one end inserted into the insert plate and connected to the conductive insert, and the other end abuts against the contact groove under the action of the spring 41.

[0051] The rotating ring 5 has actuating elements 51 located on both sides of the spring on its inner wall.

[0052] In this application, a rotating ring, a swinging insert, and a spring are used to control the contact between the conductive insert and the conductive strip of the power rail for conduction. During the rotation of the rotating ring, the spring ensures rapid contact between the conductive insert and the conductive strip, preventing arcing due to slow insertion speed and reducing safety risks. Furthermore, the use of the swinging insert and spring to control energization and de-energization between the conductive insert and the conductive strip results in a simpler and more compact structure.

[0053] The contact groove 61 has a V-shaped opening in cross-section. The swinging insert 4 abuts against the middle of the V-shaped opening. During the swinging process, the swinging insert always abuts against the top of the V-shaped opening. The swinging insert swings within the opening range of the contact groove 61. The two ends of the spring 41 abut against the swinging insert 4 and the inner sidewall of the base 1, respectively.

[0054] In this embodiment, two conductive inserts 3 are provided, namely a positive conductive insert and a negative conductive insert. Each conductive insert is provided with a corresponding swing insert 4 and a toggle member 51 disposed on the inner side wall of the rotating ring 5. When the rotating ring 5 is rotated, the rotating ring can simultaneously control the contact and separation of the two conductive inserts with the conductive strip of the track socket.

[0055] In one embodiment, an abutment 42 is provided on the side of the swing insert 4 away from the contact groove 61, and a spring 41 abuts against the outside of the abutment 42. The spring 41 abuts against the outside of the abutment 42, so that the spring can stably abut against the swing insert 4.

[0056] In one embodiment, the inner sidewall of the base 1 is provided with an abutment groove 11 with a gradually increasing opening, and the end of the spring 41 away from the swing insert 4 abuts in the abutment groove 11.

[0057] The actuating element 51 is an actuating groove provided on the inner side wall of the rotating ring 5. Both sides of the actuating groove can serve as the parts of the actuating spring 41. Specifically, when the rotating ring 5 is rotated, one side of the actuating groove can push the spring 41 to swing. The swing of the spring 41 drives the swinging insert 4 to swing, thereby realizing the rotation of the swinging insert 4, which in turn drives the conductive insert 3 to contact the conductive strip of the power rail.

[0058] In one embodiment, an inner seat 72 is further included, with an inner seat hole on the inner seat 72, and the insert 6 is disposed in the inner seat hole. A mounting bracket 7 is provided on the side of the inner seat 72 away from the base 1, and limit plates 71 are provided on both sides of the mounting bracket 7. The limit plates 71 abut against the top of the swing insert 4. The limit plates 71 can limit the top of the swing insert 4 to prevent the position of the swing insert 4 from being misaligned during swinging.

[0059] In one embodiment, the insert plate 2 is provided with an installation cavity 21, and the side wall of the installation cavity 21 is provided with an end face through groove 22; the swing insert 4 is disposed in the installation cavity 21, and the conductive insert 3 can be retracted from the end face through groove 22 into the installation cavity 21.

[0060] In one embodiment, a rotating hole 23 is provided at the bottom of the mounting cavity 21, and a rotating head 43 that mates with the rotating hole 23 is provided at the end of the swing insert 4. The mating of the rotating head 43 and the rotating hole 23 allows the rotating head 43 to rotate within the rotating hole 23 when the swing insert 4 rotates, making the rotation of the swing insert 4 more stable.

[0061] In one embodiment, a insertion surface 8 is provided on the side of the rotating ring 5 away from the base 1. The insertion surface 8 has an insertion hole, and the insertion surface 8 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The rotating ring 5 is rotatably disposed between the insertion surface 8 and the base 1. A fixing post 12 is provided on the base 1, and a mounting post corresponding to the fixing post 12 is provided on the insertion surface 8. The mounting post and the fixing post 12 are fixedly connected by bolts, thereby fixing the insertion surface 8 to the base 1, while the rotating ring 5 is rotatably disposed between the base 1 and the insertion surface 8.

[0062] The operating principle of this application is as follows: During use, the rotating ring 5 can be rotated. When the rotating ring 5 rotates, one side of the limiting groove can push the spring 41 to swing. The swinging of the spring 41 drives the swinging insert 4 to swing, thereby realizing the rotation of the swinging insert 4. The swinging insert 4 drives the conductive insert 3 to move, causing the conductive insert 3 to contact the conductive strip of the power rail. Rotating the rotating ring 5 in the opposite direction allows the conductive insert 3 to be retracted into the end face groove 22 through the above steps, achieving the retraction of the conductive insert 3 and thus separating the conductive insert 3 from the conductive strip of the power rail.

[0063] In this application, a rotating ring 5, a swinging insert 4, and a spring 41 are used to control the contact and conduction of the conductive insert 3 with the conductive strip of the power rail. During the rotation of the rotating ring 5, the spring 41 enables the conductive insert 3 to quickly contact the conductive strip of the power rail, thus preventing current arcing caused by a slow extension speed of the conductive insert 3 and reducing safety risks. Furthermore, this application uses the swinging insert 4 and spring 41 to achieve energization and de-energization of the conductive insert 3 with the conductive strip of the power rail, resulting in a simpler and more compact structure.

[0064] Example 2: This example is similar in structure to Example 1, except that a locking plate 9 is rotatably installed inside the base 1, and two locking hooks 91 are provided on the locking plate 9 to insert into the insert plate 2; the two locking hooks 91 are respectively provided on the two end faces of the insert plate 2; a torsion spring 92 is also provided inside the base 1 to push the locking plate 9 to maintain the locked state; an unlocking button 93 is provided on the side wall of the base 1, and the unlocking button 93 abuts against the locking plate 9. Pressing the unlocking button 93 pushes the locking plate 9 to rotate, thereby releasing the locked state of the locking plate 9.

[0065] In one embodiment, a protrusion 13 is provided on the base 1, the protrusion 13 is located on the central axis perpendicular to the insert plate 2, and a through hole 94 is provided on the locking plate 9 to rotatably engage with the protrusion 13.

[0066] An inclined push surface 95 is provided on the lock plate 9, and the unlock button 93 abuts against the inclined push surface 95.

[0067] When in use, press the unlock button 93. The unlock button 93 moves inward toward the base 1. The unlock button 93 pushes the inclined push surface 95 on the lock plate 9. Under the action of the inclined push surface 95, the lock plate 9 rotates around the protrusion 13, causing the two locking hooks 91 on the lock plate 9 to retract inward toward the insertion plate 2, thereby facilitating the installation and separation of the adapter and the power rail of this application.
