Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 The sockets provided by related technologies (e.g., modular track sockets) typically have a separate copper strip 510 and a wiring copper strip 520. That is, the copper strip 510 and the wiring copper strip 520 are usually stamped using different molds. Then, when assembling the modular socket, the copper strip 510 and the wiring copper strip 520 are riveted together to achieve electrical connection.

[0029] The inventors discovered that modular sockets typically include an L-pole socket, an N-pole socket, and an E-pole socket. If a separate socket copper strip 510 and wiring copper strip 520 design is used, at least five different molds are required (one mold for the L-pole socket's socket copper strip 510, one mold for the N-pole socket's socket copper strip 510, and the same mold for the L-pole and N-pole socket's wiring copper strip 520; the E-pole socket's socket copper strip 510 and wiring copper strip 520...). 20 uses a single mold to realize the corresponding socket copper strips 510 and wiring copper strips 520 for the L-pole socket, N-pole socket and E-pole socket. When assembling the modular socket, the corresponding socket copper strips 510 and wiring copper strips 520 for the L-pole socket, N-pole socket and E-pole socket need to be riveted together one by one. Due to the large number of molds used, the production cost such as mold opening is high, and the need to rivet the socket copper strips 510 and wiring copper strips 520 one by one leads to a decrease in assembly efficiency.

[0030] Furthermore, the copper strips 510 and 520 of the related technology need to be riveted, which will increase the contact resistance and temperature rise due to the riveting, which will easily cause the modular socket to overheat and reduce the safety of the modular socket.

[0031] To address the aforementioned issues, this embodiment provides a modular socket that eliminates the need for separate production of the socket and wiring components, which are then assembled together. This effectively reduces production costs and improves assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the modular socket also reduces the resistance of the conductive strip, lowers temperature rise, reduces heat generation, and enhances safety.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The modular socket 010 of this embodiment includes a base 100, a top cover 200, a first conductive strip 310, and a second conductive strip 320. The top cover 200 is fastened and connected to the base 100. The first conductive strip 310 and the second conductive strip 320 are both assembled on the base 100 and covered by the top cover 200. The first conductive strip 310 includes an integrally formed first socket 311 and a first wiring portion 312. The second conductive strip 320 includes an integrally formed second socket 321 and a second wiring portion 322. The first conductive strip 310 and the second conductive strip 320 are distributed in a mirror symmetrical manner.

[0033] Since the first conductive strip 310 and the second conductive strip 320 are both integrally formed, there is no need to produce the socket and wiring part separately and then assemble them together. This reduces the number of molds needed to manufacture the first conductive strip 310 and the second conductive strip 320, thereby effectively reducing production costs and improving assembly efficiency.

[0034] Moreover, the first conductive strip 310 and the second conductive strip 320 are distributed in a mirror symmetrical manner, which makes it easier to assemble the first conductive strip 310 and the second conductive strip 320 into place more quickly and accurately during assembly, which is conducive to further improving the assembly efficiency of the modular socket 010.

[0035] At the same time, it is not necessary to rivet the sockets and wiring parts of the first conductive strip 310 and the second conductive strip 320, which can improve the problem of increased resistance of the first conductive strip 310 and the second conductive strip 320, thereby reducing temperature rise, reducing heat generation, and improving safety.

[0036] Optionally, the first conductive strip 310 is an L-polar conductive strip, and the second conductive strip 320 is an N-polar conductive strip; please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 The modular socket 010 also includes a third conductive strip 330, which is an E-polar conductive strip and is disposed on the base 100. The third conductive strip 330 includes an integrally formed third socket 331 and a third wiring portion 332. Since the third conductive strip 330 is also integrally formed, when producing the modular socket 010, only three molds are needed to prepare the first conductive strip 310, the second conductive strip 320, and the third conductive strip 330, effectively reducing mold investment, thereby reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.

[0037] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 2 The top cover 200 is provided with insertion holes 210, and the number of insertion holes 210 is the same as the total number of the first socket 311 of the first conductive strip 310, the second socket 321 of the second conductive strip 320, and the third socket 331 of the third conductive strip 330, and they are set one-to-one so that the pin of the corresponding plug can be inserted into the corresponding socket through the insertion hole 210.

[0038] The connection method between the top cover 200 and the base 100 is similar to related technologies, including but not limited to snap-fit ​​and fastener connection with bolts.

[0039] It should be understood that in other embodiments, the modular socket 010 may include only the first conductive strip 310 and the second conductive strip 320, but not the third conductive strip 330.

[0040] Optionally, the first wiring portion 312 is distributed on the side of the first socket 311 opposite to the second conductive strip 320; the second wiring portion 322 is distributed on the side of the second socket 321 opposite to the first conductive strip 310.

[0041] The first conductive strip 310 and the second conductive strip 320 are mirror images of each other. Here, we will only take the first conductive strip 310 as an example to describe its structure in detail.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5 The first conductive strip 310 includes two integrally formed first sockets 311, and a first wiring portion 312 is integrally formed and connected between the two first sockets 311. Correspondingly, the second conductive strip 320 includes two integrally formed second sockets 321, and a second wiring portion 322 is integrally formed and connected between the two second sockets 321. The third conductive strip 330 includes a third socket 331.

[0043] It should be noted that one set of mirror-distributed first socket 311 and second socket 321 cooperates with each other to supply power to the two-prong plug, while the other set of mirror-distributed first socket 311 and second socket 321 cooperates with the third socket 331 of the third conductive strip 330 to supply power to the three-prong plug.

[0044] Optionally, the first wiring portion 312 includes an integrally formed connecting portion 3121, a transition section 3122, and a wire pressing portion 3123. The connecting portion 3121 is integrally formed with the first socket 311. The transition section 3122 is obliquely distributed between the connecting portion 3121 and the wire pressing portion 3123. The modular socket 010 also includes a wiring terminal 400 disposed on the base 100. The wire pressing portion 3123 is inserted into the wiring terminal 400 to press the power cord connected to the modular socket 010 tightly against the wiring terminal 400. The first conductive strip 310 and the second conductive strip 320 are mirror-distributed along axis a. The connecting portion 3121, the transition section 3122, and the wire pressing portion 3123 are arranged sequentially along axis a. The connecting portion 3121 is closer to the panel of the upper cover 200 where the insertion hole 210 is provided than the wire pressing portion 3123. The transition section 3122 is obliquely connected between the connecting portion 3121 and the wire pressing portion 3123.

[0045] It should be noted that the way the wire clamping part 3123 presses the power cord connected to the modular socket 010 tightly against the terminal 400 is similar to the way the wiring copper strip 520 provided in related technologies presses the power cord tightly against the terminal 400, and will not be described again here.

[0046] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 6 The base 100 includes a support 110, a ramp 120, and a slot 130. A terminal block 400 is inserted into the slot 130. The ramp 120 is inclined between the support 110 and the slot 130. The first insert 311 is supported by the support 110, and the transition section 3122 is supported by the ramp 120. The support 110, the ramp 120, and the slot 130 are distributed sequentially along axis a, and the support 110 is closer to the panel of the upper cover 200 where the insertion hole 210 is provided than the slot 130.

[0047] By using the support portion 110 and the ramp surface 120 to support the first insert 311 and the transition section 3122 respectively, the stability of the first conductive strip 310 assembled with the base 100 can be improved. Inserting the terminal 400 into the slot 130 ensures the stability of the terminal 400 assembled with the base 100 and improves the stability of the second wiring portion 322 inserted with the terminal 400, thus improving the stability of the first conductive strip 310 assembled with the base 100.

[0048] Optionally, both the first insert 311 and the transition section 3122 are provided with raised ribs.

[0049] Of course, the rib is not a necessary structure; that is, in other embodiments, the first insert 311 and the transition section 3122 may not be provided with ribs.

[0050] Alternatively, in other embodiments, at least one of the connecting portion 3121 and the pressing portion 3123 may be provided with a raised rib.

[0051] Optionally, the support portion 110 is provided with a support protrusion 111 and a groove 112. At least a portion of the first insert 311 is supported by the support protrusion 111, and the connecting portion 3121 is embedded in the groove 112. Using the support protrusion 111 to support the first insert 311 can reduce the contact area between the first insert 311 and the base 100, which is beneficial to improving temperature rise; while the connecting portion 3121 being embedded in the groove 112 helps to ensure the stability of the first conductive strip 310 assembled on the base 100.

[0052] Optionally, the support portion 110 is connected to a baffle 113, and the baffle 113 is located within the groove 112 to limit the connection portion 3121. By providing the baffle 113, the stability of the connection portion 3121 embedded in the groove 112 can be further improved.

[0053] The connection methods between the retaining rib 113 and the support part 110 include, but are not limited to, integral molding, bonding, and plugging.

[0054] Optionally, the support portion 110 is provided with a limiting groove 114, and at least a portion of the first sleeve 311 is inserted into the limiting groove 114. This arrangement can further improve the stability of the first conductive strip 310 assembled on the base 100.

[0055] Optionally, the support portion 110 is provided with a first limiting rib 115 and a second limiting rib 116, the first limiting rib 115 and the second limiting rib 116 being spaced apart to form a limiting groove 114.

[0056] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 5 The connecting part 3121 is provided with a positioning hole 3124.

[0057] For example, the bottom of the groove 112 of the base 100 is connected to a positioning post (not shown in the figure), and the positioning hole 3124 is inserted into the positioning post.

[0058] It should be noted that the structure and assembly method of the third conductive strip 330 are similar to those of the first conductive strip 310, the difference being that the third conductive strip 330 only includes a third socket 331.

[0059] It should also be noted that the specific forming processes of the integrally formed first conductive strip 310, second conductive strip 320 and third conductive strip 330 include, but are not limited to, integral stamping and integral casting.

[0060] In summary, the first conductive strip 310 and the second conductive strip 320 of the modular socket 010 of this utility model are all integrally formed with their sockets and wiring parts. Therefore, it is not necessary to produce the sockets and wiring parts separately and then assemble them together, which can effectively reduce production costs and improve assembly efficiency.

[0061] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
