Plug hashing prong with locking means
View Patent ↗The present disclosure provides a universal electrical plug, including a shell, a pin, and an actuating component. The pin is configured to be plugged into an adaptive jack of a socket to achieve electrical connection. The pin is fixed to the shell; and one side surface of the pin forms an open surface of the receiving slot. The locking bar can be driven by the actuating component and is guided by a guide portion to move from a locked position to a loose position. When the locking bar is in the locked position, the locking bar at least partially protrudes out of the open surface, and a protruding portion is frictionally locked in the jack. When the locking bar is in the loose position, the locking bar is received in the receiving slot. The present disclosure can be used in conjunction with a universal plug and achieve locking.
1 . A plug hashing prong with locking means, wherein the plug hashing prong comprises:
a shell;
a pin, wherein the pin is configured to be plugged into an adaptive jack of a socket to achieve electrical connection; the pin is fixed to the shell; the pin is provided with a receiving slot; one side surface of the pin forms an open surface of the receiving slot;
an actuating component; and
a movable locking bar, wherein the locking bar is driven by the actuating component and is guided by a guide portion to move from a locked position to a loose position; when the locking bar is in the locked position, the locking bar at least partially protrudes out of the open surface, and a protruding portion is frictionally locked in the jack; and when the locking bar is in the loose position, the locking bar is received in the receiving slot;
wherein the guide portion is provided with a first guide plane; the locking bar is provided with a second guide plane corresponding to the first guide plane; and the locking bar moves from the locked position to the loose position through cooperation between the first guide plane and the second guide plane.
2 . The plug hashing prong with locking means according to claim 1 , wherein the guide portion is located on the shell, or the guide portion is located on the pin.
3 . The plug hashing prong with locking means according to claim 1 , wherein when the locking bar is in the locked position, an end portion of the locking bar protrudes out of the open surface.
4 . The plug hashing prong with locking means according to claim 1 , wherein the guide portion is further configured to restrict the protrusion of the locking bar in the protruding process.
5 . The plug hashing prong with locking means according to claim 4 , wherein when the locking bar is in the loose position, a surface of the locking bar facing the guide portion is parallel to the open surface.
6 . The plug hashing prong with locking means according to claim 5 , wherein when the locking bar is in the loose position, the surface of the locking bar facing the guide portion is coplanar with the open surface.
7 . The plug hashing prong with locking means according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving slot comprises two opposite limiting surfaces; and the limiting surfaces are configured to prevent the locking bar from moving towards a side surface perpendicular to a push-out direction.
