[0020] See attached document Figure 1-3 An adjustable switch socket includes: a front cover 1, a rear cover 10, a three-hole socket 5, a three-hole socket 11, a ratchet 6, and a pawl 7; wherein, The front cover 1 has a two-hole area and a three-hole area; the three-hole area has a circular mounting groove 2, and a cylindrical three-hole insert plate 5 is installed in the mounting groove 2; the rear wall of the front cover 1 has a positioning post 3 and a positioning post 4; the interior of the rear cover 10 has a three-hole socket 11 corresponding to the three-hole insert plate 5; the three-hole socket 11 connects to the power cord, and its rear end is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rear cover 10. The upper part of the rear wall of the front cover 1 has a buckle 19, and the lower two sides each have a guide post 20; the top plate of the rear cover 10 has a slot 21 that mates with the buckle 19, allowing for easy disassembly and separation of the front cover 1 and the rear cover 10. The interior of the rear cover 10 also has a partition 16, the upper part of which corresponds to the two-hole area, and the lower part to the three-hole area. The partition 16 separates the three-hole socket 11 from the two-hole socket. Since the three-hole socket 11 will move the power cord when it rotates, the partition 16 provides enough space for the power cord to prevent it from being damaged by the rotation of the three-hole socket 11.

[0021] A ratchet 6 is fitted onto the side wall of the three-hole insert plate 5, and a pawl 7 that engages with the ratchet 6 is provided on the rear wall of the front cover 1. The end of the pawl 7 away from the ratchet 6 is rotatably connected to the first positioning pin 3, and the end of the pawl 7 near the ratchet 6 is provided with the third positioning pin 8. The third positioning pin 8 is connected to the second positioning pin 4 through a tension spring 9. The function of the tension spring 9 is to pull the pawl 7 to reset it.

[0022] Ratchet 6 and pawl 7 are common existing technologies, but when ratchet 6 and pawl 7 are engaged, ratchet 6 can only rotate in one direction most of the time. Therefore, this application provides an arc-shaped groove 22 on the front cover 1, allowing the front end of positioning pin 3 8 to pass through the arc-shaped groove 22, providing convenience for the user when needing to reverse the adjustment of the three-hole insert plate 5. When the three-hole insert plate 5 needs to be rotated in the opposite direction, the pressing pin 12 must be pressed first, and then the positioning pin 3 8 must be moved so that the pawl 7 is no longer in contact with ratchet 6. At this time, ratchet 6 can rotate in the opposite direction, causing the three-hole insert plate 5 to rotate slightly in the opposite direction.

[0023] In this embodiment, a square groove is also provided on the front cover 1, and a square pressing post 12 is provided in the square groove; a horizontally placed limiting plate 13 is provided on the pressing post 12, and the end of the limiting plate 13 away from the pressing post 12 is located above the pawl 7. When the user presses the pressing post 12 with his / her finger, the limiting plate 13 moves away from the pawl 7 and no longer limits the pawl 7; at this time, the three-hole plug is inserted into the three-hole socket 5, and the three-hole socket 5 can be rotated within a small range until a suitable angle is found where the plug wire will not be squeezed and bent. Then the finger pressing the pressing post 12 is released, so that the ratchet 6 and the pawl 7 cooperate to keep the three-hole socket 5 in the state after rotation.

[0024] Additionally, the inner wall of the rear cover 10 is provided with a slot 14 corresponding to the pressing post 12; the front end of the slot 14 is open, and a compression spring 15 is provided inside; the rear end of the pressing post 12 enters the slot 14 and abuts against the compression spring 15. When the pressing post 12 is pressed, the limiting plate 13 disengages from the pawl 7; when the pressing post 12 is released, under the action of the compression spring 15, the pressing post 12 returns to its initial state, and the limiting plate 13 returns to above the pawl 7 again, limiting the pawl 7. At this time, the ratchet 6 cannot rotate, nor can it rotate to adjust the angle of the three-hole insert plate 5.

[0025] It should be noted that a triangular docking groove 17 is provided at the center of the rear end of the three-hole socket 5; a triangular docking post 18 corresponding to the docking groove 17 is provided at the front end of the three-hole socket 11, which can make the three-hole socket 5 dock with the three-hole socket 11. This not only ensures that the power cord can be connected when the three-hole plug is inserted, but also ensures that the three-hole socket 11 can rotate slightly in sync with the three-hole socket 5.

[0026] This utility model of an adjustable switch socket, through the setting of a ratchet 6 and a pawl 7 that cooperate with each other, allows the three-hole socket plate 5 and the three-hole socket 11 to rotate slightly. When in use, the user can rotate it to a suitable angle to facilitate the insertion and removal of the three-hole plug, while avoiding the phenomenon of the plug wire being squeezed and bent. It is very practical and has good market application prospects.

[0027] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative and explanatory purposes. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be apparent that many changes and variations can be made in accordance with the foregoing teachings.
