Definitions

  • the invention relates to a travel adapter and a set comprising the travel adapter.
  • Electrical adapters in particular so-called travel adapters, are known per se. They consist of at least one plug and at least one socket.
  • the plug has a contact device that is adapted or adaptable to country-specific standards (short: standards) of the socket.
  • the socket has at least two contact openings that are shaped and spaced apart that a contact means of a power plug z.
  • electrical device such as the contact device of the power plug type C (CEE 7/16), with this is connected.
  • the EP 1 257 018 B1 discloses an electrical connector adapter for selectively connecting a connector system as a connector to different country-specific connector systems.
  • the plug-in adapter has a housing on the outer circumference of which several different protruding plug-in systems are arranged and has a socket pot as a socket, which is rotatably mounted in the housing.
  • the socket pot has electrical contacts which can be connected to corresponding electrical contacts of the respective plug systems in the rotary positions of the socket pot assigned to the outer plug systems, one of the plug systems having a protective contact pin mounted movably in the housing.
  • the DE 199 02 642 A1 discloses a multiple travel plug with a housing on the side flanks of which plugs are provided according to different national standards, and with a socket arranged on the housing such that it can rotate with respect to the housing and is electrically and mechanically connected to a pair of contacts. Depending on the relative rotational position between socket and housing, the pair of contacts rests resiliently on one of several pairs of contact surfaces. The pairs of contact surfaces are each connected to the contact pins of a plug.
  • the DE 10 2012 106 538 A1 discloses a travel adapter comprising a housing, at least one socket of a first standard and at least one plug of a second standard, the socket of the first standard having at least a first contact socket and a second contact socket and the plug of the second standard having at least a first contact pin and a second Having contact pin, and the first contact pin and the second contact pin are movably arranged on the housing.
  • This document also discloses the preamble of claim 1.
  • TWI627801B also discloses the preamble of claim 1.
  • a travel adapter is to be created which can be used in countries with different standards and whose handling is improved for the user in the respective countries.
  • a set comprising the travel adapter is to be created that can be used easily in many countries and whose handling is improved.
  • a travel adapter includes a housing, at least one socket of a first standard and at least one plug of a second standard.
  • the socket of the first standard has at least a first contact socket and a second contact socket and the plug of the second standard has at least a first contact pin and a second contact pin.
  • the plug is arranged on the housing and the socket is rotatably mounted in the housing.
  • the socket has a socket housing, with contact elements being arranged in the socket housing, which are each connected to the first contact socket and the second contact socket of the socket.
  • the contact elements can be electrically connected to the first contact pin or the second contact pin of the respective plug by rotating the socket relative to the housing into an operating position corresponding to the respective plug.
  • the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin are pivotably arranged on the housing in such a way that the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin can be pivoted out of the housing.
  • the user can move only the plug suitable there, or only the first contact pin and second contact pin suitable there, into the operating position by selecting the desired country on the travel adapter. There is only one operating position for the plug or for the first contact pin and the second contact pin. Thus, a doubt-free and correct use of the travel adapter in the desired country can be guaranteed.
  • This travel adapter saves the user from having to try different plugs in each country. On the one hand, this improves handling and, on the other hand, ensures a high level of safety in use.
  • the operating position is that pivoted-out end position in which the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin can be plugged into an external or separate socket.
  • a rest position is that pivoted end position in which the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin are at least partially pivoted in the housing.
  • the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin are arranged in such a way that they can be pivoted out of the rest position on the housing.
  • the connector or the first contact pin and the second contact pin can be arranged essentially freely on the housing, so that their functional use is essentially comparable to the arrangement of the connector or the first contact pin and the second contact pin in the housing.
  • the arrangement in the housing prevents the plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin from getting caught with other objects, for example with objects such as luggage, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the travel adapter
  • the respective contact elements are preferably designed in one piece with the respective contact sockets. This can prevent the contact elements from being able to become detached from one another from the contact sockets in the housing, as a result of which the functionality of the travel adapter can be improved.
  • the first contact pin and the second contact pin are preferably coupled to one another in such a way that they can be pivoted out of the housing together.
  • the first contact pin and the second contact pin can thus be moved synchronously from their rest position to their operating position. These reach their operating position at the same time, so that they can be easily plugged into an external or separate socket by the user.
  • the socket outlet preferably has a contact tongue for establishing a protective conductor connection and the plug has a third contact pin as a protective conductor pin, with a third contact element being arranged in the socket housing and being connected to the contact tongue and with the first contact pin and the second contact pin and the third contact pin are coupled to each other in such a way that they can be pivoted out of the housing together.
  • the contact tongue can be connected to the third contact pin with the aid of the third contact element.
  • the third contact element is arranged on the socket housing and is thus rotatably mounted in the housing of the travel adapter. The coupling of the contact pins enables synchronous movement of all three contact pins so that they can easily be moved into their respective operating positions.
  • the third contact pin can preferably be moved linearly.
  • the third contact pin can be designed as a protective conductor pin, which can be located between the first contact pin and the second contact pin.
  • the protective conductor pin can be movable normal to the straight connecting line which extends between the first contact pin and the second contact pin.
  • a plug with a protective conductor pin that can be moved linearly has a slot in which the protective conductor pin can move linearly.
  • a linear movement is a movement along the longitudinal extent of the elongated hole. This allows the Swiss plug standard, the Italian plug standard and the Brazilian plug standard to be covered with one and the same plug.
  • the socket has a third contact socket for establishing a protective conductor connection.
  • the third contact socket can also be connected to the third contact pin using the third contact element.
  • a three-socket travel adapter has a simple structure that holds an external or separate plug stably after it is plugged into the outlet.
  • the first contact pin and the second contact pin can preferably be pivoted out in a first pivoting direction and the third contact pin can be pivoted out in a second pivoting direction opposite to the first pivoting direction.
  • the contact pins can thus be arranged in the rest position in the housing of the travel adapter in a space-saving manner.
  • the third contact pin is as the protective conductor pin formed so that it can be pivoted in opposite directions to the first and to the second contact pin.
  • the third contact pin can be moved both linearly and pivotably. This means that the third contact pin, which is designed as a protective conductor pin, can be used particularly flexibly.
  • a gear is preferably provided for the coupling.
  • a gear mechanism for the contact pins which can be pivoted out together, causes these contact pins to move synchronously when they are pivoted out into their operating position.
  • a gear mechanism for coupling the contact pins.
  • a toothed gear has toothing, which enables efficient coupling of the contact pins that can be swung out together, with the toothed gear having a compact structure.
  • the contact pins can be moved precisely from their rest positions to their operating positions and back again using the serrations.
  • a coupling rod mechanism is provided to couple the contact pins.
  • a coupling rod gear enables a particularly reliable coupling of the contact pins to be moved together. This means that the contact pins are hardly subjected to mechanical stress, which means that the service life of the travel adapter can be extended.
  • a gear notch is provided on the gear for receiving at least one of the contact pins.
  • the travel adapter preferably has an unlocking mechanism which allows the respective plug or the first contact pin and the second contact pin to be pivoted out when the socket outlet is in the respective operating position.
  • the unlocking mechanism can prevent the remaining plugs or first contact pins and second contact pins from pivoting out, so that they must remain in their rest position.
  • the user can only use the appropriate plug or first contact pin and second contact pin.
  • the unlocking mechanism is preferably designed in at least two parts and has an unlocking link and an engagement element.
  • the unlocking link and the engagement element interact in such a way that reliable unlocking is possible and jamming of the plug and/or the contact pins can be prevented.
  • the unlocking mechanism is advantageously designed in two parts, so that it has a simple structural design.
  • the unlocking link is preferably on the socket housing and the engagement element is arranged on the plug.
  • the arrangement of the unlocking link on the socket housing enables a stable actuation of the unlocking mechanism when turning the socket.
  • the engagement element can be arranged on the plug or on the first contact pin and/or second contact pin, but also on the coupling or on the gear, so that the engagement element can be arranged close to the socket housing and thus a reliable and stable interaction of the unlocking link and of the engagement element is possible.
  • the travel adapter preferably has a receptacle for an overcurrent fuse.
  • Travel adapters are used in different countries with different energy networks.
  • An overcurrent protection is advantageous for the safe use of the travel adapter and may be necessary with regard to country-specific certification regulations. If a damaged device is connected to the travel adapter, the overcurrent protection prevents damage to the travel adapter, since the overcurrent protection is triggered.
  • the receptacle ensures easy replacement of the overcurrent fuse.
  • the receptacle is arranged on the socket housing.
  • the receptacle and thus the overcurrent protection device arranged therein can be arranged close to the contact sockets.
  • the receptacle is preferably arranged opposite to the socket.
  • the size of the travel adapter can thus be kept small.
  • the overcurrent protection is a fuse. Fuses can be manufactured for different overcurrent fuse classes and have a compact design and low weight.
  • the receptacle cannot be separated from the socket housing in the position where it has been guided out of the socket housing. This way the recording cannot be lost. At the same time it can thus be ensured that the contact sockets or the contact elements in the socket housing cannot be touched.
  • the travel adapter preferably has a locking device for locking the receptacle.
  • the interlocking device prevents access to the overcurrent fuse when either plug or pin is in its operative position. This further improves safe use of the travel adapter.
  • the locking device is preferably designed in at least two parts and has a locking cam and a locking groove.
  • the locking cams and locking groove engage tightly and prevent the receptacle from opening.
  • the locking groove is preferably arranged on the housing and the locking cam is arranged on the receptacle. This enables these elements of the locking device on the travel adapter to work together in a stable manner.
  • the locking groove and the locking cam can be brought into an operative connection in a position of the socket housing, so that the receptacle can be detached from the socket housing.
  • This position is different for each operative position of the plugs or contact pins. It can thus be ensured that the overcurrent protection can only be removed when all plugs or contact pins are in their rest position and the travel adapter is therefore not in electrical contact with an external energy network.
  • the travel adapter preferably has an interface that makes it possible to arrange an additional module on the travel adapter and to connect this additional module electrically to the socket. This means that an electrical device can also be connected to the travel adapter, so that the range of uses of the travel adapter described here is further improved.
  • the interface advantageously has an electrical contact which interacts with an electrical contact on the additional module, so that the additional module can be supplied with electrical energy.
  • the add-on module is from the group of a USB charger module, mobile battery module, Bluetooth ® module, WiFi module, wireless charger module, IoT (Internet of Things) module, night light module, Storage compartment module for a cable, smartphone holder module, smart meter module (especially with a voltage, current and power display), key finder module, smoke detector module, mosquito repellent module or room fragrance module .
  • an electrical device such as a smartphone, tablet or music player can be connected to the USB charger module so that the accumulator arranged therein can be charged.
  • the travel adapter preferably has at least one recessed grip for turning the socket.
  • the at least one recessed grip makes it easier for the user of the travel adapter to handle the travel adapter. The user can hold the travel adapter with one hand and twist the socket of the travel adapter into the desired position with the other hand.
  • This recessed grip is preferably arranged on the socket housing. This improves the feel for the user of the travel adapter and thus simplifies twisting the socket.
  • this recessed grip is arranged at the interface.
  • the recessed grip and the interface are thus arranged on the same component of the housing, as a result of which the recessed grip and the interface can be produced in one work step. If necessary, the socket can be rotated using an additional module arranged at the interface.
  • the travel adapter preferably has two recessed grips for turning the socket.
  • the user can, for example, reach into one of the recessed grips with one finger and turn the socket.
  • the two recessed grips enable a secure grip when twisting the socket.
  • the two recessed grips are advantageously arranged in opposite positions, which allows for easy handling.
  • the socket in the socket housing is compatible with plugs from the Brazilian, Italian and Swiss standards.
  • the socket in the socket housing can also be compatible with type J, type L or type N plugs, which increases the flexibility of the travel adapter.
  • At least one actuating recess is preferably provided on the travel adapter for pivoting out the plug. After the user of the travel adapter has selected the plug of the desired standard and has turned the socket into the appropriate position, the user can reach into the actuating recess and swing the selected plug out of the housing easily and largely without resistance.
  • At least one actuating recess is provided on the travel adapter for pivoting out the first contact pins and the second contact pins.
  • the user can use the operating recess to easily swing the first contact pin and the second contact pin out of the housing, thereby improving the user's operability.
  • the actuating recess can be used to ensure that all contact pins can be pivoted out of the housing.
  • a latching cam is preferably arranged on the plug for interaction with the housing, such that the plug can be locked in a rest position in the housing and in an operating position pivoted out. The plug is thus prevented from unintentionally leaving either the rest position or the pivoted-out operating position, as a result of which the operational safety of the travel adapter is improved.
  • a latching cam for interacting with the housing is arranged on the first contact pins and the second contact pins, such that the first contact pin and the second contact pin can be locked in a rest position in the housing and in an operating position pivoted out. This prevents the contact pins from unintentionally leaving either the rest position or the pivoted-out operating position, which improves the operational reliability of the travel adapter.
  • At least one widening element is preferably arranged on the housing.
  • the at least one spreading element enables the socket housing to rest stably on an external socket when the travel adapter is arranged with a plug or a first contact pin and a second contact pin in the external socket.
  • the housing of the plug preferably has at least one widening element.
