Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Rubik's Cube socket technology, specifically a Rubik's Cube socket with a suction cup quick-release locking mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life and office settings, cube sockets are widely used due to their advantages such as multiple interface expansion and high space utilization. However, the current installation method of cube sockets is mostly to place them directly on the desktop or the ground, which lacks a reliable positioning structure. They are prone to displacement due to accidental collisions, and may even cause power outages or damage to plugged-in electrical devices, seriously affecting electrical safety and ease of use.
[0003] To address this issue, some Rubik's Cube sockets have attempted to achieve positioning using suction cups. However, the existing connection structure between the suction cup and the socket body has significant shortcomings: either a simple adhesive connection is used, which is inconvenient to install and remove and the connection stability drops significantly after long-term use; or a threaded connection is used, which requires repeated twisting with tools during installation and removal, making the operation cumbersome and inefficient. At the same time, the threaded structure is prone to stripping due to long-term use, further reducing the reliability of the connection.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.
[0006] A Rubik's Cube socket with a suction cup quick-release locking mechanism includes: The main body of the Rubik's Cube socket; The base is integrated into the bottom end of the Rubik's Cube socket body. The base has a first slot in the shape of an inverted L along its bottom end and a second slot along its side end. The suction cup has an inverted L-shaped connecting part at its top end. The connecting part can be inserted into the first slot of the base, and the inverted L-shaped structure of the connecting part is adapted to the inverted L-shaped structure of the first slot, forming a snap-fit after insertion. A locking element is provided, which can be inserted into the second slot of the base and abut against the connecting part to lock the connecting part in the first slot.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the first slot includes a horizontal slot segment and a vertical slot segment, and the connecting part includes a horizontal connecting segment adapted to the horizontal slot segment and a vertical connecting segment adapted to the vertical slot segment. When inserted, the horizontal connecting segment is embedded in the horizontal slot segment and the vertical connecting segment is embedded in the vertical slot segment to form a locking engagement.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the intersection of the transverse groove segment and the longitudinal groove segment of the first slot forms a first hooking structure, and the intersection of the transverse connecting segment and the longitudinal connecting segment of the connecting part forms a second hooking structure adapted to the first hooking structure. After the connecting part is inserted into the first slot, it undergoes a transverse displacement so that the second hooking structure can be hooked onto the first hooking structure.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the inner walls on both sides of the second slot are provided with rotating slots, and the two sides of the locking member are provided with tightening protrusions that are adapted to the rotating slots; After the locking member is inserted into the second slot, it is rotated to make the tightening protrusion engage with the rotating slot, thereby pressing against the connecting part to achieve locking.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: one end of the locking member that extends into the second slot is provided with an abutment post. After the locking member is inserted and tightened, it rigidly abuts the connecting part through the abutment post.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: one end of the locking member that extends into the second slot is provided with an elastic clamping spring. After the locking member is inserted and tightened, the connecting part is clamped by the elastic clamping spring.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The connection between this suction cup and the main body of the Rubik's Cube socket does not require adhesive or screwing. Assembly can be completed simply by inserting, moving laterally, and rotating to lock. The assembly and disassembly process does not require any tools, making it convenient and efficient. At the same time, the cooperation between the inverted L-shaped locking structure and the hanging structure achieves initial positioning, and the locking cooperation between the rotating slot and the tightening protrusion further ensures the reliability of the connection, effectively avoiding the problem of loosening under external force, and balancing assembly efficiency and usage stability.

[0017] 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.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a Rubik's Cube socket with a quick-release locking mechanism for a suction cup 5 is characterized by achieving quick assembly and stable connection between the suction cup 5 and the main body 1 of the Rubik's Cube socket through a suitable locking structure and locking mechanism, while ensuring connection reliability and ease of assembly and disassembly.
[0019] The Rubik's Cube socket includes a main body 1, a base 2, a suction cup 5, and a locking component 7. The base 2 is integrated into the bottom of the main body 1, providing a mounting base for the suction cup 5 and the locking component 7. Its structural design is adapted to the bottom contour of the main body 1, ensuring the integrity and structural stability after assembly. The base 2 has two slots with different functions: a first slot 3 and a second slot 4. The first slot 3 is located along the bottom of the base 2, and the second slot 4 is located along the side of the base 2. The two slots are perpendicular to each other, and their internal spaces do not interfere with each other, corresponding to the functional requirements of connecting the suction cup 5 and installing the locking component 7, respectively.
[0020] The suction cup 5 has an integrally formed connecting part 6 at its top. Both the connecting part 6 and the first slot 3 are designed with an inverted L-shaped structure. Their shapes and sizes are compatible, ensuring that the connecting part 6 can be smoothly inserted into the first slot 3 and form a preliminary engagement. Specifically, the first slot 3 is composed of a horizontal groove segment 8 and a vertical groove segment 9. The horizontal groove segment 8 and the vertical groove segment 9 are perpendicular to each other and connected, forming an inverted L-shaped slot space. Correspondingly, the connecting part 6 is composed of a horizontal connecting segment 10 and a vertical connecting segment 11. The horizontal connecting segment 10 and the vertical connecting segment 11 are also perpendicularly connected, forming an inverted L-shaped structure that is compatible with the first slot 3.
[0021] To further enhance the stability of the initial connection, a first hooking structure 12 is formed at the intersection of the transverse groove 8 and the longitudinal groove 9 of the first slot 3. This first hooking structure 12 is a stepped protrusion at the intersection of the grooves, which can provide hooking support for the connecting part 6. A second hooking structure 13 is formed at the intersection of the transverse connecting section 10 and the longitudinal connecting section 11 of the connecting part 6. The second hooking structure 13 is a stepped groove that matches the shape of the first hooking structure 12. When the connecting part 6 is inserted into the first slot 3, the longitudinal connecting section 11 is first aligned and inserted into the longitudinal groove 9 until the second hooking structure 13 corresponds to the first hooking structure 12. Then, the connecting part 6 is moved laterally along the extension direction of the transverse groove 8 so that the second hooking structure 13 engages with the first hooking structure 12, completing the pre-positioning of the connecting part 6 in the first slot 3. At this time, the transverse connecting section 10 is embedded in the transverse groove 8, and the longitudinal connecting section 11 is embedded in the longitudinal groove 9, realizing the engagement and positioning of the connecting part 6 and the first slot 3.
[0022] The locking member 7 is used to lock and fix the pre-positioned connecting part 6. Its structure is adapted to the second slot 4 and can be inserted into the second slot 4 from the side of the base 2. The inner walls of the two sides of the second slot 4 are symmetrically provided with rotating grooves. The rotating grooves are arc-shaped grooves opened along the inner wall. One end of the groove is an open structure to facilitate the insertion of the tightening protrusion 14 when the locking member 7 is inserted. The other end is a closed locking structure to restrict the movement of the tightening protrusion 14. The two sides of the locking member 7 are provided with tightening protrusions 14 corresponding to the positions of the rotating grooves. The tightening protrusions 14 are outward protrusions. Their size is adapted to the width and depth of the rotating groove to ensure that the protrusions can slide smoothly in the rotating groove without loosening.
[0023] When the locking member 7 is inserted into the second slot 4, the tightening protrusion 14 enters the slot along the open end of the rotating slot. At this time, when the locking member 7 is rotated, the tightening protrusion 14 will move along the arc-shaped trajectory of the rotating slot until it is engaged in the closed locking end of the rotating slot. At the same time, the end of the locking member 7 that extends into the second slot 4 will gradually approach and press against the connecting part 6, thereby locking and fixing the connecting part 6 and preventing the connecting part 6 from shifting or loosening in the first slot 3.
[0024] To meet the needs of different usage scenarios, the end of the locking member 7 that extends into the second slot 4 is designed with two different clamping structures. The first is an abutment post 15, which is a rigid structure integrally formed with the locking member 7. Its end face is a flat abutment surface. When the locking member 7 is tightened, the end face of the abutment post 15 fits tightly against the corresponding side of the connecting part 6, achieving rigid clamping of the connecting part 6 through rigid contact. This is suitable for scenarios requiring high clamping force. The second is an elastic clamping spring 16. One end of the elastic clamping spring 16 is fixedly connected to the locking member 7, and the other end is a free end. When the locking member 7 is tightened, the elastic clamping spring 16 will contact the connecting part 6 and undergo elastic deformation. The spring force is used to form a continuous elastic clamping of the connecting part 6. This is suitable for scenarios requiring buffering and shock absorption or avoiding rigid compression. At the same time, the elastic clamping structure can also adapt to small dimensional deviations of the connecting part 6, improving the adaptability of the locking.
[0025] Through the above structural design, the connection between the suction cup 5 and the cube socket body 1 does not require gluing or screwing. Assembly can be completed simply by inserting, moving laterally, and rotating to lock. The assembly and disassembly process does not require any tools, making it convenient and efficient. At the same time, the cooperation between the inverted L-shaped snap-fit structure and the hanging structure achieves initial positioning, and the locking cooperation between the rotating slot and the tightening protrusion 14 further ensures the reliability of the connection, effectively avoiding the problem of loosening under external force, and taking into account both assembly efficiency and usage stability.
[0026] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
