Rotating conductive socket

Abstract

This disclosure provides a rotary conductive socket, comprising: a fixed base having two conductive terminals and at least one limiting block; a rotating base screwed to the fixed base and capable of connecting a plug; a terminal block disposed between the fixed base and the rotating base, the terminal block being able to rotate with the rotating base but not move axially with the rotating base, the terminal block having two metal terminals, the metal terminals having a first segment and a second segment connected to each other, the first segment being disposed on the terminal block and capable of selectively connecting to the plug's terminals, the second segment facing the bottom of the fixed base so that the second segment can selectively connect to the conductive terminals, the second segment being elastic and capable of selectively abutting against or passing over the limiting block; and at least one locking element disposed on the terminal block and extending towards the rotating base for selectively locking the plug's terminals.

Claims

1. A rotating conductive socket, comprising: A fixed base, the bottom of which is provided with two conductive terminals, and the bottom of which is provided with at least one limiting block in the direction of the top of which is provided, the limiting block having a first limiting part and a second limiting part; a rotating base, which is screwed to the top of the fixed base, and the rotating base can be connected to a plug. A terminal block is disposed between a fixed base and a rotating base, and the terminal block can rotate with the rotating base but cannot move axially with the rotating base. The terminal block has two metal terminals, each metal terminal having a first segment and a second segment connected to each other. The first segment is disposed in the terminal block so that the first segment can selectively connect to a plug terminal, and the second segment faces the bottom of the fixed base so that the second segment can selectively connect to a conductive terminal. The second segment is elastic and can selectively abut against or pass over a limiting block. The second segment of one of the metal terminals has a conductive portion, a first guide portion, and a second guide portion. The first guide portion and the second guide portion are respectively located on both sides of the conductive portion. The conductive portion can selectively contact the conductive terminal, the first guide portion can selectively contact the first limiting portion, and the second guide portion can selectively contact the second limiting portion; and at least one locking fastener is disposed in the terminal block and extends toward the rotating base for selectively locking the plug terminal.

2. The rotary conductive socket as described in claim 1, wherein, Both the conductive terminal and the limiting block are cylindrical. The diameter of the conductive terminal is smaller than the diameter of the limiting block. The conductive part, the first guiding part, and the second guiding part are composed of two elastic clips. The first guiding part and the second guiding part are funnel-shaped. The distance between the conductive parts is smaller than the diameter of the conductive terminal.

3. The rotary conductive socket as described in claim 1, wherein, The locking device has a fixed end and a resilient locking end. The fixed end is fixed to the terminal block to prevent the locking device from detaching from the terminal block. The resilient locking end is inclined relative to the fixed end and has a locking hole that can be locked onto the terminal of the plug.

4. The rotary conductive socket as described in claim 1, wherein, The rotating conductive socket includes two locking fasteners.

5. The rotary conductive socket as described in claim 1, wherein, The two conductive terminals are cylindrical and penetrate the bottom of the fixing base. The centerlines of the two conductive terminals are at the same distance from the centerline of the fixing base and are located on opposite sides of the centerline of the fixing base. The limiting block is cylindrical and the distance between its centerline and the centerline of the fixing base is equal to the distance between the centerline of the conductive terminal and the centerline of the fixing base.

6. The rotary conductive socket as described in claim 1, wherein, The bottom of the fixed base is provided with two limiting blocks, which are located on opposite sides of the center line of the fixed base.

7. The rotary conductive socket as described in claim 1, wherein, The rotating base includes a connecting part and a connecting part that are opposite to each other. The connecting part is provided with two through holes for connecting the terminals of the plug. The connecting part is provided with a receiving groove extending toward the connecting part along the axial direction of the rotating base. The receiving groove communicates with the two through holes.

8. The rotary conductive socket as described in claim 7, wherein, The cross-sectional profile of the groove is non-circular, and the outer shape of the terminal block is non-circular, corresponding to the cross-sectional profile of the groove, so that the terminal block can rotate with the rotating seat. The length of the outer side of the terminal block is less than the depth of the groove, so that the rotating seat can move axially relative to the terminal block.

9. The rotary conductive socket as described in claim 8, wherein, The inner periphery of the fixing base is provided with a first spiral part near the top of the fixing base, and the outer periphery of the connecting part is provided with a second spiral part near the connecting part. The second spiral part is screwed to the first spiral part, so that the rotating base can generate a spiral movement relationship relative to the fixing base. The rotating base is operated to move towards the bottom of the fixing base and the locking fastener is elastically deformed so that the locking fastener releases the terminal of the plug.
