Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of travel sockets, and in particular to a socket with adjustable pin angles. Background Technology

[0002] In today's increasingly globalized world, the differentiated design of power systems across countries is directly reflected in the diversity of socket standards, with the differences in the placement of the live and neutral pins being particularly crucial. Different countries have made drastically different regulations regarding the arrangement of these two core pins based on their own power transmission needs, safety standards, and historical technological development paths: some regions use Type A / B sockets, where the live and neutral pins are vertically parallel, accommodating common two-prong flat plugs; while other regions widely use Type I sockets with an outward-pointing design. Therefore, travel sockets typically require multiple adapters to accommodate different socket standards. However, multiple adapters are not only inconvenient to carry but also relatively expensive to manufacture. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a socket with adjustable pin angles to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0018] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a socket with adjustable pin angle includes a socket body 1 and a pin assembly 2. The pin assembly 2 includes a rotating component 21, a conductive sheet 22, a connecting block 23, and a pin body 24. The rotating component 21 is made of insulating material, while the conductive sheet 22, connecting block 23, and pin body 24 are all made of metal. Two sets of conductive sheets 22, connecting blocks 23, and pin bodies 24 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the rotating component 21. The rotating component 21 is rotatably installed inside the socket body 1. The rotating component 21 has a vertically provided mounting hole 211. One end of the conductive sheet 22 has a connecting ring 221 corresponding to the mounting hole 211, and the other end passes through the end of the rotating component 21 and is fixed to the rotating component 21. The connecting block 23 includes an integrally formed pad 231 and a sleeve 232. The lower end face of the pad 231 contacts the upper end face of the connecting ring 221, and the sleeve 232... The sleeve 232 passes through the connecting ring 221 and its upper end is connected to the pad 231. The insert body 24 includes an integrally formed connecting foot 241 and a riveting part 242. The riveting part 242 is rotatably mounted on the sleeve 232. The upper end of the connecting foot 241 is connected to the riveting part 242. The lower end of the socket body 1 is provided with a bottom shell 16. The front end of the bottom shell 16 is provided with a storage groove 161. The bottom shell 16 is also provided with a storage clearance hole 162, a first sector hole 163 and a second sector hole 164. The storage clearance hole 162 is vertically arranged at the rear end of the storage groove 161. The front side of the first sector hole 163 is connected to the lower end of the storage clearance hole 162. The front side of the second sector hole 164 is connected to the rear side of the first sector hole 163. The connecting foot 241 passes through the bottom shell 16. The front and rear ends of the connecting foot 241 correspond to the first sector hole 163 and the second sector hole 164, respectively.

[0019] When the socket is not in use, the connecting pin 241 is flipped into the storage slot 161 by the rotating part 21. When it is needed, the connecting pin 241 is flipped to be perpendicular to the bottom shell 16. At this time, the two sets of connecting pins 241 are in a parallel state, which is suitable for double vertical hole type sockets. The riveting part 242 can rotate in the sleeve 232, so that the connecting pin 241 can rotate in the first sector hole 163 and the second sector hole 164, so that the two sets of connecting pins 241 are arranged in a figure-eight shape to adapt to the shape of the socket. After the connecting pin 241 is inserted into the socket, the connecting pin 241 is connected to other plug terminals in the socket through the connecting block 23 and the conductive plate 22, so that the electrical appliances connected to the socket can be powered. The advantages of this design are: the connecting pin 241 can rotate a certain angle around its own length axis, so that the two sets of connecting pins 241 can be flexibly switched to a parallel arrangement or a figure-eight arrangement to adapt to different standard sockets in different regions, making it flexible and convenient; the socket of this design does not require a converter, reducing the space required for storage and lowering costs; when the socket is not in use, the connecting pin 241 can be flipped into the storage slot 161 by the rotating part 21 for easy storage.

[0020] The upper end of the riveting part 242 is provided with two sets of riveting plates 2421. After riveting, the riveting plates 2421 contact both sides of the upper end surface of the pad 231, and the upper end surface of the connecting foot 241 contacts the lower end surface of the rotating component 21. This allows the insert body 24 to rotate on the sleeve 232 to adjust the angle of the connecting foot 241, making the assembly process efficient and convenient.

[0021] The lower end of the rotating component 21 is provided with a first sector-shaped groove 212 and a second sector-shaped groove 213 that are interconnected. The front and rear ends of the connecting foot 241 correspond to the first sector-shaped groove 212 and the second sector-shaped groove 213. This restricts the upper end of the connecting foot 241 to rotate within the area of ​​the first sector-shaped groove 212 and the second sector-shaped groove 213. The first sector-shaped groove 212 and the second sector-shaped groove 213 cooperate with the first sector-shaped hole 163 and the second sector-shaped hole 164, making the angle adjustment of the connecting foot 241 more stable and the force on the connecting foot 241 more even during use.
