[0025] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides an AC power adapter for new energy vehicles. The adapter 10 includes a first cylindrical body 11, a second cylindrical body 12 rotatably connected to the first cylindrical body 11, a vehicle-end nozzle 13 disposed inside the first cylindrical body 11 and extending from the first end of the first cylindrical body 11, and a socket 14 disposed inside the second cylindrical body 12 and extending from the second end of the second cylindrical body 12. The second cylindrical body 12 is rotatably mounted on the first cylindrical body 11. The rotation axis of the second cylindrical body 12 is inclined relative to the axis of the second cylindrical body 12. The second cylindrical body 12 can be rotated relative to the first cylindrical body 11 to be set at an angle to the first cylindrical body 11 or to be set in a straight line (i.e., coaxial) with the first cylindrical body 11.

[0026] Preferred, such as Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the included angle is set so that the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 are perpendicular to each other, which makes it convenient for the user to hold the second cylinder 12 for insertion and removal. The straight line is set so that the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 are on the same straight line, that is, they are coaxial, which makes it convenient for the user to store them or plug other power plugs into the socket 14.

[0027] Preferably, the vehicle-end nozzle 13 is a European standard vehicle-end nozzle, and the socket 14 is a European standard socket 14.

[0028] When using the AC power adapter 10 for new energy vehicles of this utility model, the plug of the appliance requiring power can be inserted into the socket 14 at the end of the second cylindrical body 12. Then, the second cylindrical body 12 is rotated until it is at an angle to the first cylindrical body 11. At this point, the user can hold the second cylindrical body 12 and insert the vehicle-side nozzle 13 on the first cylindrical body 11 into the vehicle's charging or discharging port to obtain power. By rotating the second cylindrical body 12 to form an angle with the first cylindrical body 11, it is convenient for the user to plug and unplug the adapter 10.

[0029] Specifically, the second end of the first cylinder 11 is provided with a first inclined surface 15 forming a first angle with the axis of the first cylinder 11, and the first end of the second cylinder 12 is provided with a second inclined surface 16 forming a second angle with the axis of the second cylinder 12. Preferably, both the first angle and the second angle are 45°.

[0030] When the second cylinder 12 is rotated, the first inclined surface 15 and the second inclined surface 16 rotate relative to each other, which can make the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 perpendicular to each other, or make the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 located on the same straight line.

[0031] In other embodiments, the first included angle and the second included angle may also be included angles of other degrees.

[0032] In this embodiment, the second end of the first cylinder 11 is provided with a protruding ring 17 that is rotatably connected to the second cylinder 12, and the first end of the second cylinder 12 is provided with an annular groove 18 into which the protruding ring 17 can be inserted for rotatable connection.

[0033] During the rotation of the second cylinder 12 relative to the first cylinder 11, the convex ring 17 rotates within the annular groove 18, achieving a rotational connection between the two.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the second cylindrical body 12 is provided with an inner lining sleeve 19. The inner lining sleeve 19 includes a first semi-cylindrical body 20 and a second semi-cylindrical body 21. The first semi-cylindrical body 20 and the second semi-cylindrical body 21 are detachably and fixedly connected. The first semi-cylindrical body 20 is provided with a first semi-circular groove 22 at its first end, and the second semi-cylindrical body 21 is provided with a second semi-circular groove 23 at its first end. The first semi-circular groove 22 and the second semi-circular groove 23 are combined to form the annular groove 18.

[0035] During assembly, the first semi-circular grooves 22 and 23 on the first semi-cylindrical body 20 and the second semi-circular grooves 23 on the second semi-cylindrical body 21 are aligned with the two sides of the convex ring 17 and inserted. Then, the first semi-cylindrical body 20 and the second semi-cylindrical body 21 are fixedly connected by screws to realize the rotational connection between the first cylinder 11 and the inner liner sleeve 19.

[0036] To limit the rotational stroke of the second cylinder 12, a limiting protrusion 24 protruding from the first inclined surface 15 is provided, and an arc-shaped limiting groove 25 is provided on the second inclined surface 16 or the inner sleeve 19 for the limiting protrusion 24 to be inserted and slid. Both ends of the arc-shaped limiting groove 25 are provided with blocking parts to stop the limiting protrusion 24.

[0037] When the limiting protrusion 24 rotates to the first end stop position of the arc-shaped limiting groove 25, the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 are perpendicular to each other. When the limiting protrusion 24 rotates to the second end stop position of the arc-shaped limiting groove 25, the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 are on the same straight line.

[0038] To better lock the adapter 10 in a vertical or straight position, the inner sleeve 19 is provided with a snap 26 that can be slidably disposed on the inner sleeve 19. The end of the snap 26 is provided with a plug 27 that can be slidably extended outside the second inclined surface 16 or retracted into the second cylinder 12. The first inclined surface 15 is provided with a first buckle hole 28 and a second buckle hole 29 into which the plug 27 can be inserted.

[0039] When the second cylinder 12 is rotated to be aligned with the first cylinder 11, the buckle 27 is aligned with the first buckle hole 28 and can be inserted into the first buckle hole 28. When the second cylinder 12 is rotated to be aligned with the first cylinder 11 at an angle, the buckle 27 is aligned with the second buckle hole 29 and can be inserted into the second buckle hole 29.

[0040] When the second cylinder 12 rotates to a position aligned with the first cylinder 11, the spring 31 pushes the buckle 27 into the first buckle hole 28, locking the adapter 10 in a straight position. When the second cylinder 12 rotates to an angle with the first cylinder 11, the spring 31 pushes the buckle 27 into the second buckle hole 29, locking the adapter 10 in an angled position.

[0041] Furthermore, the inner sleeve 19 is provided with a groove 30 for the sliding housing of the latch 26, and a spring 31 is provided in the groove 30 for pushing the latch 26 and pushing the buckle 27 out of the second inclined surface 16. In order to facilitate the user to push the latch 26, the second cylinder 12 is provided with an opening 32 for the handle portion 33 of the latch 26 to extend out.

[0042] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
