Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power conversion connector technology, and in particular to a novel adapter. Background Technology
[0002] An adapter, simply put, is a connector used to connect two devices or components of different types or interfaces, enabling them to function properly or be used together. Its function is to "bridge" two incompatible interfaces or accessories, allowing different devices to be connected. In the context of office lighting, adapters typically refer to adapters or converters that connect to different interfaces or power specifications, ensuring that the lighting fixtures can be used correctly or connected to different power supplies or control systems.
[0003] Existing adapters, due to their relatively fixed switching angles, may not achieve optimal layout and wiring results in confined or special spaces, limiting the placement and connection methods of equipment. Furthermore, some adapters lack retractable adjustment components, resulting in a larger overall size that is difficult to arrange flexibly in environments with limited space, affecting the compactness and neatness of the equipment.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a novel adapter to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a novel adapter. By horizontally rotating the first profile, the quick-connect plug is driven to rotate along the hinge point, thereby achieving horizontal angle adjustment. By vertically rotating, the adapter end is driven to rotate around the adapter block, thereby achieving vertical angle adjustment.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel adapter, comprising an adapter block, a first plug, a second plug, a first profile, a second profile, and a cover. One end of the adapter block is rotatably provided with an adapter end, and the other end of the adapter block is fixedly provided with an adapter barb. A quick-connect plug is hinged to the middle of the adapter end. A baffle is provided on one side of the upper end of both the first and second plugs. A first barb and a second barb are respectively provided on one side of the lower end of the first and second plugs. A quick-connect insertion hole is provided through the front of the first plug, and a positioning groove is provided on one side of the second plug. A first locking hole and a second locking hole are respectively provided at the lower ends of the first and second profiles. Grooves are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the adapter end.
[0007] Furthermore, the adapter block is slidably disposed within the positioning groove, and the quick-connect plug is movably disposed within the quick-connect socket.
[0008] Furthermore, the first plug is connected and fixed to the first locking hole via a first barb, and the second plug is connected and fixed to the second locking hole via a second barb.
[0009] Furthermore, spring tabs are fixedly provided in the middle and bottom of the inside of the cover, and the two spring tabs are snapped into the two grooves.
[0010] Furthermore, the upper end of the adapter is provided with a fan-shaped scale around the groove.
[0011] Furthermore, both the first profile and the second profile have aluminum substrate slots inside.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model proposes a novel adapter. By horizontally rotating the first profile, the first plug drives the quick-connect plug to rotate around its hinge point, adjusting the horizontal angle of the first profile. Then, the user vertically rotates the first profile, and the quick-connect plug drives the adapter end to rotate around the rotation point of the adapter block to adjust the vertical angle. When adjusting horizontally, the angle can be precisely adjusted by observing the scale. Through the above method, multi-dimensional angle adjustment is achieved to meet the spatial adjustment needs in complex environments.
[0013] 2. The present invention proposes a novel adapter, which first adjusts the first profile horizontally to maintain a perpendicular relationship with the second profile, and then pushes the first profile along the direction of the second profile. The first profile drives the adapter block to slide in the positioning groove through the quick-connect plug until the baffles at the top of the first plug and the second plug abut against each other, thus completing the retraction. Through this retraction function, the overall compactness and neatness of the adapter are enhanced. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Reference Figures 2-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a novel adapter, comprising an adapter block 1, a first plug 5, a second plug 9, a first profile 12, a second profile 14, and a cover 17. One end of the adapter block 1 is rotatably provided with an adapter end 2, and the other end of the adapter block 1 is fixedly provided with an adapter barb 4. A quick-connect plug 3 is hinged in the middle of the adapter end 2. A baffle 7 is provided on one side of the upper end of both the first plug 5 and the second plug 9. A first barb 6 and a second barb 11 are respectively provided on one side of the lower end of the first plug 5 and the second plug 9. A quick-connect insertion hole 8 is provided through the front side of the first plug 5. A positioning groove 10 is provided on one side of the second plug 9. A first locking hole 13 and a second locking hole 15 are respectively provided at the lower ends of the first profile 12 and the second profile 14. A groove 16 is provided at both the upper and lower ends of the adapter end 2.
[0018] Specifically, when the user rotates the adapter 2, since the adapter 2 is rotatably mounted at one end of the adapter block 1, it can be rotated 180°. Since the quick-connect plug 3 is hinged in the middle of the adapter 2, the user can adjust the angle of the quick-connect plug 3 by 180°. Furthermore, the quick-connect plug 3 and the quick-connect socket 8 are matched in shape and size. In addition, this adapter is suitable for use with office lamps.
[0019] Reference Figures 2-4 The adapter block 1 is slidably disposed in the positioning groove 10, the quick connector 3 is movably disposed in the quick connector hole 8, the first plug 5 is connected and fixed to the first locking hole 13 through the first barb 6, the second plug 9 is connected and fixed to the second locking hole 15 through the second barb 11, and the first profile 12 and the second profile 14 are both provided with aluminum substrate slots 19.
[0020] Specifically, the adapter block 1 is slidably disposed in the positioning groove 10, and an adapter barb 4 is provided at the other end of the adapter block 1. The barb serves as a limit. When the adapter block 1 slides outward, the adapter barb 4 hooks onto the upper end of the inner wall of the second plug 9, thereby locking and preventing the adapter block 1 from sliding out of the positioning groove 10. Then, since the quick connector 3 is movably disposed in the quick connector socket 8, the first plug 5 can be removed from the quick connector 3, and the quick connector 3 can be directly rotated to adjust the angle. Furthermore, the aluminum substrate slot 19 is used to fix the light source board.
[0021] Reference Figures 1-4 The cover 17 has two springs 18 fixedly installed in the middle and bottom of the interior. The two springs 18 are snapped into the two grooves 16. The upper groove 16 of the adapter end 2 has a scale distributed in a fan shape around its circumference.
[0022] Specifically, when adjusting the horizontal angle, the user can adjust the angle appropriately according to the scale. Secondly, the user can place the cover 17 on the adapter end 2 by locking the two spring pieces 18 into the two grooves 16 respectively, thus preventing the adapter from being exposed and improving the overall aesthetics.
[0023] Working principle: When the user needs to adjust the angle of the adapter, first remove the cover 17 from the adapter end 2, and then rotate the first profile 12 horizontally. When the first profile 12 rotates, the first plug 5 drives the quick connector 3 to rotate with its hinge point as support, so that the first profile 12 can be adjusted horizontally. Then, the user rotates the first profile 12 vertically, and the quick connector 3 drives the adapter end 2 to rotate with its rotation point on the adapter block 1 as support, so as to adjust the angle of the first profile 12 vertically. In addition, when the user rotates the first profile 12 horizontally, he / she can determine the angle to be adjusted by observing the scale. Next, the user rotates the first profile 12 horizontally to keep it vertically aligned with the second profile 14. Then, the user pushes the first profile 12 toward the second profile 14. The first profile 12 drives the adapter block 1 to slide in the positioning groove 10 through the quick connector 3 until the baffle 7 at the upper end of the first plug 5 and the second plug 9 comes into contact with each other, thus completing the retraction.
[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
