Rotating receptacle assembly

摘要

A rotatable socket assembly, provided in form of a rotatable socket, includes: a side provided with a socket unit and a functional socket, and an adjacent side provided with a flat surface. The rotatable socket starts rotating, when a switch on an active surface of the rotatable socket is pressed to start the driving motor, such that check elements connected to the active end of the driving motor drive the rotatable socket to rotate by a predetermined angle to cause the socket to face upward, thereby facilitating the use of a plug. Alternatively, when the plug is not in use, the switch at a predetermined angle is pressed, such that the check elements connected to the active end of the driving motor drive the rotatable socket to rotate by a predetermined angle to cause the flat surface to face upward and enable the socket to face laterally and get hidden.

1. A rotatable socket assembly comprising: a socket body, a driving motor, front and rear check elements, an abutting element, front and rear cover elements, and front and rear clamping elements, wherein the socket body has an outer periphery including border frames, a side provided with one or more socket unit and one or more functional socket and an adjacent side provided with a flat surface, wherein the driving motor is disposed in the socket body, wherein an outward end of the driving motor is coupled to the front check element, wherein the abutting element is disposed inward relative to the front check element and laterally imposes a positional restriction on the socket body, wherein another side of the socket body is coupled to the rear check element, wherein an end of a shaft of the driving motor is inserted into an intermediate bushing of the front cover element coupled to an end of each border frame of the outer periphery of the socket body, wherein the rear cover element is coupled to another end of each border frame of the outer periphery of the socket body, wherein an outward side of the front cover element into which one end of the shaft of the driving motor is inserted and the rear cover element are coupled to the front and rear clamping elements in an appropriately tight manner, wherein the front and rear clamping elements are coupled to outward sides of the front and rear cover elements of each border frame of the outer periphery of the socket body, wherein two outer peripheries of the front and rear cover elements dent to form first and second guide grooves each terminating in a notch facing downward, wherein first and second protruding portions extend from each clamping element and move upward in the first and second guide grooves from the notches to provide resistance along the two outer peripheries of the front and rear cover elements, wherein upward portions of each of the front and rear clamping elements form one or more spaced-apart resilient abutting portions which suit a thickness of an object mounted in advance to effectuate resilient clamping within a predetermined range, wherein the driving motor rotates to drive the socket to flip and face upward so that the socket unit or functional socket is accessible, and wherein when not in use, the driving motor drives the flat surface of the rotatable socket to flip and face upward and cause the socket body to face laterally and get hidden.
