Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, and in particular to an adapter. Background Technology

[0002] The existing adapter can be found in the applicant's previous Chinese invention patent CN119674623A, entitled "Adapter and Track Socket," with an authorization announcement date of March 21, 2025. This patent discloses an adapter and track socket. The adapter includes a socket body and a guide seat. The socket body is placed on the guide seat and has a plug assembly, a rotatable movable conductive component, and a rotating component. The plug assembly and the movable conductive component are electrically connected. The adapter is characterized by having a rotatable limiting stop on the socket body. When the rotating component rotates, it causes the limiting stop and the movable conductive component to unfold or retract relative to the guide seat. This adapter, by adding a limiting stop, allows the limiting stop to cooperate with a corresponding limiting structure on the power track when the adapter is installed, reducing or limiting the adapter movement when the plug is removed. Specifically, it reduces or limits the movement of the movable conductive component, reducing the instantaneous arc generated by friction between the movable conductive component and the track conductive plate assembly of the power track. This is beneficial for the stability of the electrical connection of the movable conductive component and improves its service life.

[0003] The aforementioned socket body and the rotating component are provided with an elastic reset component and an elastic locking mechanism. When the rotating component drives the limiting blocking component and the moving conductive component to unfold relative to the guide seat, the elastic reset component is in a stretched state and the elastic locking mechanism is in a locked state. The elastic locking mechanism can realize the relative locking and relative unlocking between the socket body and the rotating component. When the rotating component is reset, the elastic reset component can provide a reset force for the rotating component, which facilitates the rotation and reset of the rotating component.

[0004] However, the adapter with the above structure still has the following shortcomings: (1) The above elastic locking mechanism includes an elastic stop, a locking part and an elastic unlocking part. The elastic stop includes a stop block and a first spring, and the elastic unlocking part includes an unlocking key and a second spring. This makes the elastic locking mechanism involve many parts, has a complex structure, is difficult to install, is troublesome to install and disassemble, and is costly and not suitable for widespread use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an adapter with an elastic locking structure that has fewer parts, simple structure, easy assembly and disassembly, and low cost.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: An adapter includes a socket body, a guide seat, and a rotating member. The socket body is placed on the guide seat and has a socket assembly and a rotatable movable conductive component. The socket assembly and the movable conductive component are electrically connected. The rotating member is kinetically connected to the movable conductive component. The lower part of the movable conductive component extends to the guide seat and can be unfolded or retracted relative to the guide seat. An elastic reset member and an elastic locking member are also provided between the rotating member and the socket body. The elastic locking member includes an elastic locking element and a blocking element. The blocking element is disposed on the rotating member. The elastic locking element is elastically movable on the socket body, and one end of the elastic locking element extends out of the socket body. The elastic locking element has a function that cooperates with the blocking element. The locking part of this adapter consists of only a spring-loaded locking component on the socket body and a blocking component on the rotating component. It involves fewer parts, has a simple structure, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and has a lower cost. Furthermore, when unfolding, simply rotate the rotating component until the blocking component abuts against the locking part on the spring-loaded locking component. At this time, the moving conductive component unfolds relative to the guide seat, and the spring-loaded reset component is compressed. When resetting and storing, simply press one end of the spring-loaded locking component to move it into the socket body, causing the blocking component to disengage from the locking part. At this time, the rotating component rotates and resets under the action of the spring-loaded reset component, and the moving conductive component is also stored relative to the guide seat under the drive of the rotating component. The whole operation process is relatively simple.

[0007] The objective of this utility model can also be achieved by the following technical measures: Specifically, the elastic locking element includes a locking block, and the socket body is provided with a mounting groove. The locking block is placed on the mounting groove and a spring is provided at the other end of the locking block. One end of the spring abuts against the inner wall of the mounting groove. The locking block with the spring has a simple structure and is easy to obtain. At the same time, the mounting groove provides a stable working space for the locking block, which is conducive to realizing the stable movement of the locking block on the socket body.

[0008] Specifically, the other end of the locking block has an inner groove, the spring is placed on the inner groove and one end of the spring extends out of the inner groove and abuts against the inner wall of the mounting groove. One end of the locking block extends outward to have an operating part that extends out of the socket body. One end of the locking block is also provided with an inclined surface, and one outer wall of the locking block constitutes the locking part. The inclined surface facilitates the movement of the locking block when the blocking part on the rotating part rotates. At the same time, the operating part extending out of the socket body facilitates the user to push the locking block and realize the subsequent rotation and reset of the rotating part. Furthermore, the inner groove provides a stable working space for the spring, which is conducive to achieving a stable cooperation between the spring and the locking block.

[0009] Specifically, the upper surface of the locking block is provided with a guide block, the upper surface of the mounting groove is provided with a guide through hole, and the guide block extends to the guide through hole; through the cooperation of the guide block and the guide through hole, the movement of the locking block on the mounting groove is well guided and positioned.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper surface of the mounting groove is provided with two elongated hollow holes, which are located on both sides of the guide through hole, so that the upper surface of the mounting groove between the two hollow holes has elastic deformation space, that is, so that the guide through hole and the upper surface of the mounting groove outside it have elasticity, which makes it convenient for the guide block on the locking block to be inserted into the guide through hole when the locking block is installed.

[0011] Specifically, the rotating component is a hollow rotating ring. The guide seat is provided with a support platform, and the upper surface of the support platform extends beyond the upper surface of the guide seat. The inner side of the hollow rotating ring is placed on the support platform. There is a gap between the lower part of the hollow rotating ring and the upper surface of the guide seat. The hollow rotating ring is located on the outer periphery of the socket body, and the bottom surface of the socket body is close to the inner side of the hollow rotating ring. On the one hand, the inner side of the hollow rotating ring can be well confined between the guide seat and the socket body, which is conducive to the stable installation of the hollow rotating ring on the adapter. On the other hand, the contact area between the support platform and the inner side of the hollow rotating ring is small, and the gap between the hollow rotating ring and the guide seat, as well as the proximity of the bottom surface of the socket body to the hollow rotating ring, makes the influence of the guide seat and the socket body on the rotation of the hollow rotating ring smaller, which is beneficial for the user to rotate the hollow rotating ring.

[0012] Specifically, the elastic reset component is a tension spring. An L-shaped mounting wall is provided on the inner side of the hollow rotating ring. The bottom surface of the L-shaped mounting wall is placed on the support platform. A clearance recess is provided on the socket body corresponding to the position of the L-shaped mounting wall. A limiting wall extends from the upper surface of the clearance recess towards the hollow rotating ring. The tension spring is placed on the L-shaped mounting wall and below the limiting wall. One end of the tension spring abuts against the L-shaped mounting wall, and the other end of the tension spring abuts against the side wall of the clearance recess. The L-shaped mounting wall provides a stable mounting carrier for the tension spring. At the same time, the limiting wall above the tension spring plays a good limiting role, so that the tension spring is stably limited on the L-shaped mounting wall, which is conducive to the stable cooperation of the tension spring with the hollow rotating ring and the socket body respectively.

[0013] Specifically, the moving conductive component includes an L-pole conductive rod, an N-pole conductive rod, a first gear fixed on the L-pole conductive rod, and a second gear fixed on the N-pole conductive rod. The lower inner side of the hollow rotating ring extends inward to form a first tooth and a second tooth. The first tooth meshes with the first gear, and the second tooth meshes with the second gear. The upper surfaces of both the first and second teeth are close to the bottom surface of the socket body. A limiting wall is also provided on the guide seat, located between the first and second teeth. Through the cooperation between the first and second teeth and the limiting wall, the maximum angle of rotation of the hollow rotating ring is limited. Furthermore, the meshing transmission method between the teeth and the gear has a simple structure and good transmission effect.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: (1) This adapter's elastic locking component only includes an elastic locking member set on the socket body and a blocking member set on the rotating member. It involves fewer parts, has a simple structure, is easy to install and disassemble, and has a lower cost. Furthermore, when unfolding, simply rotate the rotating member until the blocking member abuts against the locking part on the elastic locking member. At this time, the moving conductive component unfolds relative to the guide seat, and the elastic reset member is compressed. When resetting and storing, simply press one end of the elastic locking member to move the elastic locking member into the socket body, so that the blocking member disengages from the locking part. At this time, the rotating member rotates and resets under the action of the elastic reset member, and the moving conductive component is also stored relative to the guide seat under the drive of the rotating member. The whole operation process is relatively simple.

[0015] (2) The inclined surface facilitates the movement of the locking block when the blocking part on the rotating part rotates. At the same time, the operating part extending out of the socket body facilitates the user to push the locking block and realize the subsequent rotation and reset of the rotating part. Furthermore, the inner groove provides a stable working space for the spring, which is conducive to realizing a stable cooperation between the spring and the locking block.

[0016] (3) The L-shaped mounting wall provides a stable mounting carrier for the tension spring, while the limiting wall above the tension spring plays a good limiting role, so that the tension spring is stably limited in the L-shaped mounting wall, which is conducive to the tension spring achieving stable cooperation with the hollow rotating ring and the socket body respectively.
