Detailed Implementation

[0031] 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.

[0032] This utility model provides a foldable socket, which is mainly composed of a base component female seat 101, a first outer shell 201 and a second outer shell 202 to form a mounting base 100 and a plug-in structure 200, forming a foldable socket for charging electronic devices. A charger is usually a device that converts alternating current into low-voltage direct current to charge electronic products. As these electronic devices become increasingly refined and compact, their charging heads also need to be designed and optimized accordingly to facilitate portability and use.

[0033] Example:

[0034] Reference Figures 1-8 The first outer shell 201 and the second outer shell 202 are combined to form a connector, and a conductive structure 400 is provided on one side of the female seat 101. A receiving space is provided on the side opposite to the conductive structure 400. The connector is rotatably connected to the receiving space of the female seat 101 through a rotating seat. When the connector is in a folded state, the plane of the connector is parallel to the plane of the receiving space. When the connector is in a working state, the plane of the connector is perpendicular to the plane of the receiving space.

[0035] Specifically, in order to facilitate locking and fixing the position of the connector, a locking structure 300 is provided inside the connector, which can slide along the insertion direction of the insertion structure 200 to lock the folded state and working state of the insertion structure 200.

[0036] A connecting surface is formed on the side wall of the connector, and a connector 203 is provided on the connecting surface. The cross-sectional shape of the connector 203 can be one of a cone, rectangle, or circle. This device uses a circular cross-section. The circular design of the connector 203 not only facilitates smooth docking with the charging interface of electronic devices and reduces difficulties in plugging and unplugging due to shape mismatch, but also increases the stability of the connection to a certain extent, preventing the connection from breaking due to slight vibration or pulling. In addition, a guide groove can be provided on the connecting surface to match the connector 203 and ensure stability during the plugging process.

[0037] Specifically, the end of the connector 203 is electrically connected to the conductive structure 400. When the connector 203 is in a folded or working state, the plane of the connector 203 is parallel or perpendicular to the plane of the accommodating space.

[0038] The aforementioned conductive structure 400 includes a first connector 401, a second connector 403, and a connecting wire 402. The first connector 401 is disposed within the shaft seat 102 and has a connecting groove. The first end of the connecting wire 402 can be rotatably connected to the connecting groove via a metal rotating sleeve, maintaining power transmission even when the connector rotates. The other end of the second connector 403 extends to the outside of the mounting base 100 and is provided with a connecting seat 404. The connecting seat 404 can interface with the charging interface of an electronic device to complete power transmission. The connecting wire 402 is made of a highly elastic, wear-resistant material, such as rubber, to ensure good conductivity and durability even during frequent rotation of the connector. Furthermore...

[0039] Specifically, the receiving space on the mounting base 100 is formed on one side of the female base 101, and the rotating base is disposed in the receiving space, with the axis of the rotating base being parallel to the plane of the receiving space.

[0040] Furthermore, the rotating seat includes a shaft seat 102 fixedly connected to the female seat 101, and the plug is rotatably connected to the shaft seat 102. The design of the shaft seat 102 allows the plug to rotate around its axis, making it convenient for users to use at different angles.

[0041] Specifically, in order to facilitate locking the position of the connector, a locking structure 300 is provided inside the connector, which can slide along the insertion direction of the connector to lock the folded state and working state of the connector.

[0042] Specifically, a tapered engagement block 301 is provided between the two outer shells, and a guide channel 303 is provided on one of the outer shells. The engagement block 301 is connected to the inner wall of the guide channel 303 by a connecting spring 302, and the guide end of the guide channel 303 faces the shaft seat 102.

[0043] The tapered structure of the engagement block 301 allows it to slide along the guide channel 303 when subjected to external force, thereby engaging or disengaging from the corresponding engagement groove 103 on the shaft seat 102, thus locking and unlocking the connector position.

[0044] When the connector needs to be in working condition, the engagement block 301 will engage with the engagement groove 103 on the top of the shaft seat 102, and at the same time, with the help of the elastic force of the connecting spring 302, it will be tightly engaged in the engagement groove 103, thereby stabilizing the state of the connector.

[0045] When the angle of the connector needs to be adjusted, the user simply rotates the connector in the opposite direction, causing the engagement block 301 to disengage from the engagement groove 103 on the top of the shaft seat 102 and engage with the engagement groove 103 on the side wall of the shaft seat 102. By setting multiple sets of engagement grooves 103, the connector can be configured to change its position in different locations to meet diverse usage needs. For example, setting three or more sets of engagement grooves 103 allows the connector to better adapt to different power environments and equipment layouts.

[0046] In addition, the engagement groove 103 allows users to quickly adjust the position of the connector without the need for tedious disassembly and reinstallation, thus greatly improving efficiency and meeting the user's needs in different scenarios.

[0047] Components not described in detail in this article are existing technologies.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
