The present invention relates to a plug-in power source adapting seat and, more particularly, to a plug-in power source adapting seat capable of achieving the purposes of providing a screwing combination and conducting power together with a conventional lamp seat.
Recently, the whole world fully supports energy saving and carbon reduction, especially for the illumination field. Energy saving fluorescent light bulbs and LED light bulbs are developed and widely used to replace conventional tungsten light bulbs having power consuming and low efficiency shortcomings. However, an interface inconsistency problem must be taken into account while using energy saving light bulbs to replace original incandescent lamps. The conventional incandescent lamps are mostly incorporated with screw thread interfaces, such as an E26/E27 model number. This screw thread interface has huge inventories, since it has been in the market for a long time. The current energy saving lamps often adopt plug-in (non-screw thread) interfaces that are unable to connect with the conventional screw thread interfaces. If existing screw thread interfaces are completely replaced with new plug-in interfaces, enormous waste may occur. Moreover, the replacement of this interface requires professional persons to carry out, and normal consumers may not handle the replacement.
In view of the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art, a primary objective of the present invention is to provide a power source adapter capable of achieving the purposes of providing a screwing combination and conducting power together with a conventional lamp seat. Moreover, the power source adapter can be further provided to be plugged and conducted by power lines of other electric appliances to supply power to the other electric appliances.
It is a secondary objective of the present invention to provide a plug-in power source adapter seat capable of fastening and inserting the power line and that is difficult to loose and separate even if an external force is imposed thereon.
To achieve the above mentioned objectives, the present invention provides a plug-in power source adapting seat composed of a main body, an adapting barrel, a positive pole clip, a negative pole clip and a joining body. The main body is integrally formed by a cylinder like portion and a disc like portion. The cylinder like portion has a straight-type external surface, the top surface of the cylinder like portion is opened, and an inside of the cylinder like portion is disposed with a positive pole clip slot and a negative pole clip slot. An outward appearance of the cylinder like portion is formed with a shield ring at a small distance away from a bottom of the cylinder like portion, the bottom of the cylinder like portion is circularly disposed with a plurality of slots, and a circumference wall is disposed with a notch. The disc like portion is formed at the bottom of the cylinder like portion and is formed with an expanded area. The bottom of the disc like portion is formed with a set of inserting troughs, with each inserting trough inwardly passing through and respectively piercing through the positive pole clip slot and the negative pole clip slot inside the cylinder like portion. The adapting barrel is formed by a conductive material and as a cylinder shape. A circumference wall of the adapting barrel is formed with a screwing strip as a spiral shape, with a bottom of the screwing strip being a vertical wall. The vertical wall is circularly disposed with a plurality of concave bodies. A top surface of the adapting barrel is formed with an opening and embedded with an insulation body, with the insulation body having a joining groove vertically penetrating. A sheet body of the positive pole clip is formed with an extension and a bending. The positive pole clip obliquely protrudes to form a fasten piece, with a bottom formed into a clamp line end. A sheet body of the negative pole clip is formed with an extension and a bending. The negative pole clip obliquely protrudes to form a fasten piece, with a bottom formed into a clamp line end. The joining body is formed by a conductive material to have a top cover showing an arc shape and a joining lever downwardly stretching. The top cover covers the opening of the adapting barrel. An external diameter of the joining lever equals an inner diameter of the joining groove. When assembling, the positive pole clip is downwardly accommodated into the positive pole clip slot from the top opening of the main body, so that the clamp line end of the positive pole clip aligns with one of the set of inserting troughs. The fasten piece of the positive pole clip and the positive pole clamp slot achieve fastening and positioning. The negative pole clip is downwardly accommodated into the negative pole clip slot, so that the clamp line end of the negative pole clip aligns with another of the set of inserting troughs. The fasten piece of the negative pole clip and the negative pole clip slot achieve fastening and positioning. After positioning the negative pole clip, its top section stretches from the notch of the cylinder like portion. The adapting barrel downwardly fits with the cylinder like portion to enable the screwing strip of the adapting barrel to exist on the straight-type external surface of the cylinder like portion. The vertical wall is downwardly and vertically disposed from the shield ring of the cylinder like portion. The plurality of concave bodies of the adapting barrel is fastened into the corresponding slot of the cylinder like portion one on one, so that the adapting barrel and the cylinder like portion achieve a combination. In the process, a top section of the negative pole clip achieves electric conductance together with the adapting barrel. At the same time, a top section of the positive pole clip enters the joining groove of the insulation body at a top end of the adapting barrel. Finally, the joining lever of the joining body pierces through the joining groove of the insulation body from an outside, with the joining lever being in contact with the top section of the positive pole clip, so that the joining lever and the joining groove perform a packing motion, achieving electric conductance together with the top section of the positive pole clip. At the same time, the top cover completely covers the top opening of the adapting barrel.
According to the above mentioned plug-in power source adapting seat, each of the plurality of concave bodies of the adapting barrel is a concave body as a triangle formed and recessed by stamping an originally horizontal wall.
The technical characteristics, contents, advantages and effects of the present invention will be apparent with the detailed description of preferred embodiments accompanied with related drawings as follows.
