[0018] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A travel converter, including The housing 1 has a main insertion hole 13 and a secondary insertion hole 14 communicating with its interior. The main insertion hole 13 and the secondary insertion hole 14 are respectively located on two adjacent side walls of the housing 1. The conductive hardware component 2 is installed inside the housing 1. The conductive hardware component 2 is provided with a first plug-in portion 21 and a second plug-in portion 22. The first plug-in portion 21 is provided corresponding to the main plug-in hole 13, and the second plug-in portion 22 is provided corresponding to the auxiliary plug-in hole 14.

[0020] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting the main socket 13 and the auxiliary socket 14 on two adjacent side walls of the housing 1 respectively, and equipping them with conductive hardware 2 having a first plug-in portion 21 and a second plug-in portion 22, the problem of unreasonable socket layout in existing travel adapters is effectively solved. This design avoids mutual interference between plugs, allows multiple electrical plugs to be inserted smoothly, improves the space utilization of the sockets and the efficiency of the adapter, and enhances the convenience of using the travel adapter.

[0021] Furthermore, the conductive hardware 2 is provided with a U-shaped elastic part 23, the first insertion part 21 is formed on the top of the elastic part 23, and the second insertion part 22 is formed on the side of the elastic part 23.

[0022] As described above, the design of molding both the first plug portion 21 and the second plug portion 22 into the same U-shaped elastic portion 23, and deforming the elastic portion 23 when the electrical plug is inserted, brings several significant advantages. Firstly, the deformation of the elastic portion 23 provides elastic force during insertion, ensuring the stability of the connection between the electrical plug and the plug portion, effectively avoiding poor contact caused by loose connections, and improving the reliability and safety of the travel adapter. Secondly, the molding process of the conductive hardware 2 is simplified, eliminating the need to process an elastic portion 23 separately for the first plug portion 21 and the second plug portion 22, reducing production costs, improving production efficiency, and facilitating mass production. Furthermore, the integrally molded elastic portion 23 structure enhances the overall structural strength of the conductive hardware 2, extends its service life, and further improves the product's quality and performance.

[0023] Furthermore, the elastic part 23 has a partition groove 24, which is located between the first insertion part 21 and the second insertion part 22.

[0024] As described above, the partition groove 24, located between the first plug-in portion 21 and the second plug-in portion 22, in the elastic part 23 can separate the two plug-in portions to a certain extent, reducing their mutual influence. When an electrical plug is inserted into one of the plug-in portions, the deformation of the elastic part 23 is mainly concentrated in the corresponding area. The presence of the partition groove 24 can prevent the deformation from being transmitted to the other plug-in portion, thereby avoiding affecting the connection stability between the other plug-in portion and the inserted electrical plug, and improving the performance stability of the converter when multiple plugs are used simultaneously.

[0025] Furthermore, the inner wall of the first insertion part 21 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0026] As described above, the inner wall of the first plug-in portion 21 is provided with a first locking protrusion. When the electrical plug is inserted into the first plug-in portion 21, the locking protrusion can fit tightly with the plug and even produce a certain locking effect. This can further enhance the connection between the electrical plug and the first plug-in portion 21, prevent power outages due to loose plugs during use, ensure stable power supply to electrical equipment, and improve user experience.

[0027] Furthermore, the inner wall of the second insertion part 22 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0028] As described above, the inner wall of the second plug portion 22 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​protrusion. This snap-fit ​​protrusion can also increase the friction and snap-fit ​​effect when the electrical plug is connected to the second plug portion 22, making the plug more secure after insertion, reducing the risk of the plug being accidentally pulled out, ensuring the reliability of the connection, and further improving the safety and stability of the travel adapter in actual use.

[0029] Furthermore, the secondary socket 14 is a composite socket of American and European standards.

[0030] As described above, the secondary socket 14 is designed as a hybrid socket for both US and European standards, making it compatible with various electrical plug types. This greatly enhances the versatility of travel adapters, meeting the needs of users who use different types of electrical appliances in different countries and regions, reducing the burden of carrying multiple adapters while traveling, and improving the practicality and market competitiveness of travel adapters.

[0031] Furthermore, it also includes a first movable stop 3 that can be slidably installed inside the housing 1, the first movable stop 3 being located between the first insertion part 21 and the main insertion hole 13.

[0032] As described above, a first movable stop 3 is added, which is slidably installed inside the housing 1 and located between the first plug portion 21 and the main socket 13. When the electrical plug is inserted into the main socket 13, the first movable stop 3 can be pushed to accommodate plugs of different sizes, serving as a guide and limiter, allowing the plug to be inserted into the first plug portion 21 more accurately and smoothly. At the same time, it can also prevent the plug from being inserted too deeply or at an angle, protecting the plug portion and plug from damage, and improving the usability and durability of the converter.

[0033] Furthermore, the first movable stop 3 is provided with a first driving slope on the side near the main insertion hole 13.

[0034] As described above, the first movable stop 3 has a first driving slope on the side near the main socket 13. This slope design allows the electrical plug to slide more easily when inserted into the main socket 13. The guiding effect of the slope reduces the force required for insertion, lowering the difficulty of use. This is especially beneficial for larger or harder-to-insert plugs, effectively improving the user experience and making the converter more convenient to use.

[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a second movable stop 4 that can be slidably installed inside the housing 1, the second movable stop 4 being located between the second insertion part 22 and the secondary insertion hole 14.

[0036] As described above, a second movable stop 4, which can be slidably installed inside the housing 1, is located between the second plug portion 22 and the auxiliary socket 14. Similar to the function of the first movable stop 3, the second movable stop 4 can be slidably adjusted according to the size of the electrical plug inserted into the auxiliary socket 14, serving as a guide and limiter to ensure that the plug is accurately inserted into the second plug portion 22, preventing damage to the plug. At the same time, it improves the adaptability of the converter to different types and sizes of plugs, further expanding its scope of use and convenience.

[0037] Furthermore, the second movable stop 4 is provided with a second driving slope on the side near the secondary insertion hole 14.

[0038] As described above, the second movable stop 4 is provided with a second driving slope on the side near the auxiliary socket 14. The guiding effect of the slope makes it easier to push the second movable stop 4 to slide when the electrical plug is inserted into the auxiliary socket 14, which further reduces the difficulty of insertion, improves the ease of operation of the converter, and optimizes the user experience. Especially when using some special plugs, it can better play its compatibility advantage.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The first embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Please refer to... Figures 1 to 3A travel adapter includes a housing 1, conductive hardware 2, a mounting bracket 5, and a pin assembly 6. The housing 1 has a main socket 13 and a secondary socket 14 communicating with its interior. The number of main sockets 13 is multiple and they are of various different standards, including but not limited to European standard sockets, British standard sockets, Chinese standard sockets, and American standard sockets. The main sockets 13 and the secondary sockets 14 are respectively located on two adjacent side walls of the housing 1. The mounting bracket 5 is installed inside the housing 1, and the conductive hardware 2 is installed on the mounting bracket 5. The conductive hardware 2 has a first plug-in portion 21 and a second plug-in portion 22. The first plug-in portion 21 is provided corresponding to the main socket 13, and the second plug-in portion 22 is provided corresponding to the secondary socket 14. The pin assembly 6 is movably installed inside the housing 1. The housing 1 includes a bottom shell 11 and a top cover 12. The main socket 13 is formed in the top cover 12, and the secondary socket 14 is formed in the side wall of the bottom shell 11.

[0040] Preferably, the conductive hardware 2 is provided with a U-shaped elastic portion 23. The first plug portion 21 is formed on the top of the elastic portion 23, and the second plug portion 22 is formed on the side of the elastic portion 23. Both the first plug portion 21 and the second plug portion 22 are formed within the same U-shaped elastic portion 23, and the elastic portion 23 deforms when the electrical plug is inserted. This design brings several significant advantages. On the one hand, the deformation of the elastic portion 23 provides elastic force during insertion, ensuring the stability of the connection between the electrical plug and the plug portion, effectively avoiding poor contact problems caused by loose plugging, and improving the reliability and safety of the travel adapter. On the other hand, the forming process of the conductive hardware 2 is simplified, eliminating the need to process an elastic portion 23 separately for the first plug portion 21 and the second plug portion 22, reducing production costs, improving production efficiency, and facilitating large-scale production. Furthermore, the integrally molded elastic part 23 structure enhances the overall structural strength of the conductive hardware 2, extends its service life, and further improves the product's quality and performance. Additionally, the elastic part 23 has a partition groove 24 located between the first plug-in part 21 and the second plug-in part 22. The partition groove 24 can separate the two plug-in parts to a certain extent, reducing their mutual influence. When an electrical plug is inserted into one of the plug-in parts, the deformation of the elastic part 23 is mainly concentrated in the corresponding area. The presence of the partition groove 24 prevents the deformation from being transmitted to the other plug-in part, thereby avoiding affecting the connection stability between the other plug-in part and the inserted electrical plug, and improving the performance stability of the converter when multiple plugs are used simultaneously.

[0041] Optionally, the inner wall of the first plug portion 21 is provided with a first locking protrusion. When the electrical plug is inserted into the first plug portion 21, the locking protrusion can fit tightly with the plug and even create a certain locking effect. This can further enhance the connection between the electrical plug and the first plug portion 21, prevent power outages due to loose plugs during use, ensure stable power supply to electrical equipment, and improve user experience. Furthermore, the inner wall of the second plug portion 22 is provided with a second locking protrusion. This locking protrusion can also increase the friction and locking effect when the electrical plug is connected to the second plug portion 22, making the plug more secure after insertion, reducing the risk of the plug being accidentally pulled out, ensuring the reliability of the connection, and further improving the safety and stability of the travel adapter in actual use.

[0042] In this embodiment, the secondary socket 14 is a composite socket of US and European standards, meaning that the secondary socket 14 can accept either US or European standard pins. Specifically, the second insertion part 22 consists of two opposing flanges formed on the side of the elastic part 23 and an arc-shaped abutment groove 25 formed on the outer wall of the elastic part 23. The flanges are used to accept US standard pins, and the abutment groove 25 is used to accept European standard pins. More specifically, the second snap-fit ​​protrusion is formed on the inner wall of the elastic part 23 at the position corresponding to the abutment groove 25. Thus, the abutment groove 25 and the second snap-fit ​​protrusion can be formed on the elastic part 23 simultaneously through a single stamping process, which simplifies the process.

[0043] Preferably, the device further includes a first movable stop 3 slidably installed within the housing 1. The first movable stop 3 is installed on the mounting bracket 5 and located between the first plug portion 21 and the main socket 13. Adding a first movable stop 3 slidably installed within the housing 1 and located between the first plug portion 21 and the main socket 13 allows for the adjustment of plug sizes when the electrical plug is inserted into the main socket 13. This adjustment serves as a guide and limiter, enabling the plug to be inserted into the first plug portion 21 more accurately and smoothly. It also prevents the plug from being inserted too deeply or at an angle, protecting the plug portion and plug from damage and improving the usability and durability of the converter. Specifically, the first movable stop 3 has a first driving slope on the side near the main socket 13. This slope design allows the electrical plug to slide more easily when inserted into the main socket 13. The inclined planes reduce the force required for insertion, making it easier to use. This is especially beneficial for larger or harder-to-insert plugs, effectively improving the user experience and making the adapter more convenient to use.

[0044] Preferably, the device further includes a second movable stop 4 slidably installed within the housing 1. The second movable stop 4 is installed on the mounting bracket 5 and located between the second plug portion 22 and the secondary plug hole 14. Similar to the function of the first movable stop 3, the second movable stop 4 can be slidably adjusted according to the size of the electrical plug inserted into the secondary plug hole 14, serving as a guide and limiting element to ensure accurate insertion of the plug into the second plug portion 22 and prevent plug damage. It also improves the adapter's adaptability to different types and sizes of plugs, further expanding its application range and convenience. Specifically, the second movable stop 4 has a second driving slope on the side near the secondary plug hole 14. Utilizing the guiding effect of the slope, it makes it easier to push the second movable stop 4 when the electrical plug is inserted into the secondary plug hole 14, further reducing insertion difficulty, improving the converter's operational convenience, and optimizing the user experience. Especially when using some special plugs, it can better leverage its adaptability advantages.

[0045] In summary, the travel adapter provided by this utility model effectively solves the problem of unreasonable socket layout in existing travel adapters by setting the main socket and auxiliary socket on two adjacent side walls of the housing, and equipping them with conductive hardware having a first plug-in part and a second plug-in part. This layout avoids mutual interference between plugs, allows multiple electrical plugs to be inserted smoothly, improves the space utilization of the sockets and the efficiency of the adapter, and enhances the convenience of using the travel adapter. At the same time, by rationally setting the socket positions, the internal space structure of the adapter is optimized, providing more possibilities for subsequent functional expansion and component installation.
