Description

模块化可替换式插座结构 技术领域
本申请关于一种模块化可替换插座结构，尤指一种可适用于各种接头的模块化可替换式插座结构。
背景技术
一般家用插座，分成适用于100～120V和200～240V电器的插座，而其中100～120V又分成二孔和三孔，因此在安装插座或购买延长线时，都要先配合电器的插头规格做选择。比如在装潢时，要在预计安装冷气的墙面上预留适合200～240V的插孔，预计使用一般电器的地方预留100～120V的插孔。又比如在选购延长线时，需考虑电器插头是否有接地端，避免购买带有二孔插座的延长线后无法使用。在使用时，插座与插孔需要相符合的方向才可插上，若电器放置的位置无法变动，则需折弯电源线来配合插座的方向，如此容易让电线绝缘层破损而造成漏电或短路。
在出国旅游时自国外购买电器后，也常常因为插头规格不合而无法使用电器，造成使用的困扰与不便。市面上虽有转接头，但在使用时在原本的插头上再多装一个转接头，非常不美观且占用不少空间，并且有用电安全的疑虑。
此外，通过电力线通信(Power Line Communication)技术，现今已可以利 用电源线来传输网络数据数据，而一般在利用电力线通信时，需要在插座上安装电力调制解调器，或是另外安装具有电力线通信功能的网桥，造成占用空间以及使用上的不便。
技术解决方案
本申请的一个目的在于提供一种模块化可替换插座结构，根据不同的规格及种类需求，选用所需的转接座安装于底座上，此外，本申请所述的转接座没有方向性，因此还可以依电器位置及空间，调整转接座的方向，甚至在此插座结构中也可加上安全装置，如此不但可以省去各别使用转接头的麻烦，亦可同时兼具美观及安全。
为达上述目的，本申请在此揭露一种可替换式模块化插座结构，其包含：至少一转接座，其包含：一母接头，设置于该转接座顶面，用于连接电源或网络信号至外部装置；以及数个端子，设置于该转接座底部；一底座，其包含：至少一插座，用来安装该转接座，每一插座包括底面以及连接该底面的环绕侧壁，该底面以及该环绕侧壁形成一开口，使得该转接座通过该开口进入并固定于该插座上；以及一转接接口，设置于该底座之插座上，用来连接该插座以及该转接座；一接触接口，电连接于该转接接口和一外部电源，用于将该外部电源的电信号传导至该转接接口；其中该转接接口含有对应于数个该端子之构造，使得该转接座通过该转接接口与该插座电性连接，该转接接口不突出于每一插座的底面。
依据本申请的一个实施例，该模块化可替换式插座结构可以根据需求更换转接座，或是根据使用情况变换转接之方向，转接座与转接接口更包含磁性连接结构使插座更加稳固，此外底座也可以有不同的形状供使用者选择，因此本申请的模块化可替换式插座结构兼具实用、安全及美观。

以下各实施例的说明是参考附加的图式，用以例示本申请可用以实施之特定实施例。本申请下文中所提到的方向用语，例如「上」、「下」、「前」、「后」、「左」、「右」、「顶」、「底」、「水平」、「垂直」等，仅是参考附加图式的方向。因此，使用的方向用语是用以说明及理解本申请，而非用以限制本申请。
请参考第1图至图4，图1～图4为根据本申请第一实施例至第四实施例的模块化可替换式插座结构10之立体图。模块化可替换式插座结构10包含数个转接座20以及一底座30。底座30可以有不同形状，如图2、图3及图4所示，底座30可以是常见的长条状，或是方形、环状、三角形等形状，而位于底座30上的转接座20可以是如图2的方向相同的矩阵排列，或是 如图3及图4中方向不同的环状排列，图2～图4中底座30的形状与转接座20的排列仅是举例非用以限定本申请，任何底座的形状与转接座的排列(如于三角形底座上转接座数组排列)，皆是本申请之范畴。
请参考图1和图5。图5为图1的模块化可替换式插座结构10之俯视图。转接座20顶面上设置有一母接头22，电子装置可以将其插头插入该母接头22以获得电源供应。如图5所示，母接头22可以是一般市电100～120V或200～240V的电源插孔220，电源插孔220更可以是不同规格之电源插孔。请一并参考图6，母接头22可以是符合Type A电源插孔220A、Type B电源插孔220B、Type C电源插孔220C、Type D电源插孔220D、Type E电源插孔220E、Type F电源插孔220F、Type G电源插孔220G、Type H电源插孔220H、Type I电源插孔220I、Type J电源插孔220J、Type K电源插孔220K、Type L电源插孔220CL等不同规格的电源插孔，或是通用型的电源插孔，如Type A和Type C通用插孔220M、多国通用插孔220N及220O等可适用于多种规格之电源插孔。
此外，如图5中所示，母接头22也可以是通用串行总线(USB)插孔222，用来供电给USB2.0,USB 2.0 Standard A,USB 2.0 Type C,USB3.0及USB3.1等适用于通用串行总线的电子装置，母接头22也可以是12V的点烟器插孔224。
请参阅图7和图8。图7和图8分别为图1和图2所示的模块化可替换式插座结构分解图。转接座20之顶面设有一母接头22以及底部设有一端子24，底座30包含一个多或个插座34。
请一并参考图8、图9和图13，图9绘示端子24与插座34之局部放大图，如图9所示，转接座20顶面设有母接头22，转接座20底面 设有端子24，插座34上设置有一转接接口40。每一插座34包括底面341以及连接底面341的环绕侧壁342，底面341以及环绕侧壁342形成一开口343，使得转接座20通过开口343进入并固定于插座34上。
接下来请参考图10，将转接座20上下颠倒后，可以看到端子24的详细构造，而转接接口40上具有与端子24相对应之构造，转接接口40与端子24之详细构造如图11所示。请参考图11，转接接口上为POGO PIN 400A～400P，端子24上具有与POGO PIN 400A～400P相对之平面接头240A～240P，其中POGO PIN 400A与平面接头240A相连、POGO PIN 400B与平面接头240B相连…POGO PIN 400P与平面接头240P相连。POGO PIN 400A～400P与平面接头240A～240P相连接时的结构如图12所示，POGO PIN400A～400P与平面接头240A～240P电性连接，使底座30的电源可以传输至母接头22。
如图13所示，图13为POGO PIN 400A～400P与平面接头240A～240P连接后剖面图，转接座20与插座34通过端子24与转接接口40电性连接，因此底座30的电源可以传输至母接头22。在较佳的实施例中，转接接口40上之POGO PIN接头不能超出插座34之底面341。如此一来，在将转接座20安装于插座34时，手指就不会直接接触到转接接口40而发生触电的危险。
此外，如图9～图13所示，转接座20底面尚有一第一磁性连接部26，以及转接接口40上有一第二磁性连接部46，第一磁性连接部26与第二磁性连接部46磁性连接。第一磁性连接部26与第二磁性连接部46可于任何时候都具有磁性相互连接，或是只有在电力导通时具有磁性可相互连接。举例来说，转接座20上之第一磁性连接部26可以是电磁铁，将转接座20安装在插座 34时，第一磁性连接部26通过底座30与外部电源电性连接，因此这时第一磁性连接部26具有磁力可以与第二磁性连接器46磁性连接。在另外一个实施例中，端子24上之第一磁性连接器26是电磁铁，将转接座20安装在插座34时该电磁铁尚未通电，故不具磁力，但将电子装置插头插上母接头22后，将电力提供给电子装置同时亦供电至第一磁性连接器26使其具有磁力与第二磁性连接部46磁性连接。通过第一磁性连接部26与第二磁性连接部46的磁性连接，可以在使用电器设备时使转接座20牢固地安装在插座34之上，增加使用的安全。第一磁性连接部26为电磁铁仅是一实施例，电磁铁也可以位于第二磁性连接部46上，而本申请也不限定以电磁铁达到磁性连接的功能，举凡能使第一磁性连接部26以及第二磁性连接部46相互以磁性连接的材质、组件、构造均是本申请之范畴。
而端子24与转接接口40各个接点的电位并不相同，通常可分为相线(又称火线或活线)、中线及地线，端子24与转接接口40各个接点，可以依据母接头22的规格分成数组。也就是说，数个端子24所对应之转接接口40可分成第一电位、第二电位两组，分别对应于相线和中线。或是数个端子24所对应之转接接口40可分为第一电位、第二电位、第三电位三组，分别对应相线、中线及地线。在本申请的实施例中，转接座20可设计成不具方向性的结构。在图9及～图13中所提到与POGO PIN相对应的平面接头之接点，可以根据电性让POGO PIN或平面接头分组两组，比如相线与中线两组。如图14所示，以平面接头240A～240P为例，平面接头与POGO PIN的16个接点可以分成X和Y两组，其分组的顺序让转接座20不论怎么转向，其平面接头上之分组的顺序皆相同。
端子24与转接接口40间的16个接点亦可分成相线、中线与地线三组，如第2图所示，16个接点分成X、Y、Z三组，这样的分组方式，让转接座20不论方向为何，16接头的分组顺序皆相同。根据本实施例的设计，让转接座20不论如何转向，都可以安装于插座34上，如此转接座20便不具有方向性，安装转接座20于插座34上时便不需考虑方向，在使用时便可以依据使用情况调整转接座20安装在插座34上之方向。
值得注意的是POGO PIN不一定要位于转接接口40上，如第3图所示的POGO PIN与平面接头的第二实施例。依据设计及使用上的需求，POGO PIN也可以设置在端子24上，而此时转接接口40则具有相对之平面接头。在此实施例中，端子24具有POGO PIN 241A～241P，转接接口上40则具有平面接头401A～401P，POGO PIN 241A与平面接头401A相连、POGO PIN241B与平面接头401B相连，…POGO PIN241P与平面接头401P相连。POGO PIN与平面接头相连接后的剖面侧视图可以参考图13，与图13中不同的时，本实施例的平面接头位于插座34上，而POGO PIN则位于转接座20上。在较佳的实施例中，POGO PIN位于端子24上时，位于转接接口40上之平面接头不能超出插座34之底面341；当平面接头位于端子24上时，则位于转接接口40上之POGO PIN接头不能超出插座34之底面341。如此一来，在将转接座20安装于插座34时，手指就不会直接接触到转接接口40而发生触电的危险。
图17为POGO PIN与平面接头的第三实施例。如图17所示，端子24为POGO PIN242A～242I，转接接口40上是与POGO PIN242A～242I相对应之平面接头402A～402I，POGO PIN与平面接头共有9个接点。图18为POGO PIN 242A～242I与平面接头402A～402I连接后剖面侧视图，转接座20与插座34通过端子24与转接接口40电性连接，如此底座30的电源便可以传输至母接头22。
依据设计上的需求可以有POGO PIN与平面接头的第四实施例，在此实施例中，POGO PIN可以位于转接接口40上，而端子24则具有与POGO PIN相对应之平面接头，其剖面侧视图可以参考图13，与图13中不同的时，本实施例的POGO PIN与平面接头一排只有3个。在较佳的实施例中，POGO PIN位于端子24上时，位于转接接口40上之平面接头不能超出插座34之底面341；当平面接头位于端子24上时，则位于转接接口上40之POGO PIN接头不能超出插座34之底面341。如此一来，在将转接座20安装于插座34时，手指就不会直接接触到转接接口40而发生触电的危险。
POGO PIN与平面接头的第三与第四实施例，可以如第一与第二实施例，依据各接点的电位分组，如图19所示，以平面接头402A～402I为例，平面接头与POGO PIN的9个接点可以分成X和Y两组，其分组的顺序让转接座20不论怎么转向，其平面接头上之分组的顺序皆相同。或是如图20所示，端子24与转接接口40之间的9个接点亦可分成相线、中线与地线三组，9个接点如图20分成X、Y、Z三组，这样的分组方式，让转接座20不论方向为何，16个接头的分组顺序皆相同。根据本实施例的设计，让转接座20不论如何转向，都可以安装于插座34上，如此转接座20便不具有方向性，在使用时便可以依据使用情况调整转接座20安装在插座34上之方向。
本申请所述模块化可替换式插座结构10之端子24与转接接口40除了可以是POGO PIN与平面接头外，也可以是各式的弹性端子 与接头，如弹性U型端、弹性方形端子或弹性环型排列端子(未图示)，以及圆柱接头、方柱接头、板状接头、圆形接头或方形接头等，详见以下说明。
图21所示为弹性U型端子的立体图，如图21所示，弹性U型端子可分为接触夹62与固定部64。接触夹62通常为金属制，用来与接头电性连接，接触夹62与接头具有两个接触点622与624。固定部64则是用来将弹性U型端子固定于转接座20或是插座34上，请接着参考图22。
图22为根据本申请之第五实施例，第五实施例中，端子24由9个弹性U型端子243A～243I组成，转接接口40则具有对应之9个圆柱接头403A～403I。本实施例中，弹性U型端子的接触夹与圆柱接头有两个接触点，以弹性U型端子243C与圆柱接头403C为例，弹性U型端子243C与圆柱接头403C的两个接触点622C、624C的距离略小于圆柱接头403C的直径，弹性U型端子243C的接触夹则具有弹性，如此当端子24与转接接口40接触时，具有弹性U型端子便可牢固地与圆柱接头403C电性连接。
如同前述之POGO PIN与平面接头，弹性U型端子与圆柱接头也可以依设计的需求对调在端子24与转接接口40上的位置，如本申请之第六实施例，所述端子24可以是9个圆柱接头，转接接口40为9个弹性U型端子。请参考图23，图23为本实施例相连接后的剖面侧视图，弹性U型端子之固定部位于插座34上，而圆柱接头则位于转接座20上，端子24与转接接口40相连使转接座20与插座34电性连接，如此底座30的电源便可传输至母接头22。
弹性U型端子除了可以与圆柱接头连接外，也可以和方柱接头连接，如图24所示。图24为根据本申请之第七实施例，在本实施例中，端子24为弹性U型端子244A～244I，转接接口40上具有相对应之方柱接头404A～404I。本实施例中，弹性U型端子的接触夹与圆柱接头有两个接触点，以弹性U型端子244C与方柱接头404C为例，弹性U型端子244C与方柱接头404的两个接触点622C、624C的距离略小于方柱接头403C的宽度，弹性U型端子244C的接触夹则具有弹性，如此当端子24与转接接口40接触时，弹性U型端子244C的便可牢固地与圆柱接头404C电性连接。
而第八实施例转接接口40为弹性U型端子，端子24上则具有相对应之方柱接头，其构造与形状请参考第七实施例。
第五～八实施例中，依照设计上的需求，弹性端子与接头也可以有16组接点，而同时第五～八实施例，不论是9个或16个组点，端子24与转接接口40的接点亦可如第一～四的实施例依电位分组，其分组方法请参考图14、图15、图19、图20。
第五～八实施例中，弹性U型端子为同方向排列，然而为增加转接座20安装于插座34时的稳定度，在本申请的第九实施例中的弹性U型端子可朝不同方向排列，如图25所示。以图25为例，端子24由9个弹性U型端子245A～245I所组成，弹性U型端子可分为三排，第一排为245A～C，第二排为245D～F，第三排为245G～I。第二排的弹性U型端子245D～F朝同一方向，而第一排的弹性U型端子245A则相对于245D向右旋转45度，弹性U型端子245B则相对于245A再向右旋转45度(也就是相对于245E向右旋转90度)，弹性U型端子245C则相对于245B再向右旋转45度(也就是相对于245F向 右旋转135度)。第三排的弹性U型端子245G则是相对于245D向左旋转45度，弹性U型端子245H则相对于245G再向左旋转45度(也就是相对于245E向左旋转90度)，弹性U型端子245I则相对于245H再向左旋转45度(也就是相对于245F向左旋转135度)。
在此实施例中，转接接口40上则是有9个方向对应于弹性U型端子245A～245I的板状接头405A～405I，请参考图25以及图26。图25中的板状接头405A～405I亦可分成三排，第一排为405A～C，第二排为405D～F，第三排为405G～I。第二排的板状接头405D、405F朝同一方向，板状接头405E于本实例中为方柱接头，使转接接口40上的板状接头相对于中线及对角线皆对称，使本申请所述之插座34或转接座20不具方向性，如图26所示。然而板状接头405E为方柱接头仅为一实施例，举凡板状接头405E形状能达到使插座34不具方向性之目的，皆在本申请的范畴内。而第一排的板状接头405A～C方向需对应于弹性U型端子245A～C，因此弹性U型端子405A相对于405D向左旋转45度，弹性U型端子245B则相对于245A再向左旋转45度(也就是相对于245D向左旋转90度)，弹性U型端子245C则相对于245B再向左旋转45度(也就是相对于245F向左旋转135度)。同理，第三排的板状接头405G～I方向需对应于弹性U型端子245G～I，因此弹性U型端子405G相对于405D向右旋转45度，弹性U型端子245H则相对于245G再向右旋转45度(也就是相对于245D向右旋转90度)，弹性U型端子245I则相对于245H再向右旋转45度(也就是相对于245F向右旋转135度)。
图27为弹性U型端子245A～245I与板状接头405A～405I相连接后之示意图。将图25中的弹性U型端子245A与板状接头405A相连接、弹性U型 端子245B与板状接头405B相连接…弹性U型端子245I与板状接头405I相连接，即可得图27。弹性U型端子245A～I与板状接头405A～I相接触且电性连接，以弹性U型端子245I与板状接头405I为例，弹性U型端子245I的接触夹与板状接头405I有两个接触点622I与624I，接触点622I与624I之间的距离略小于板状接头405I之宽度，弹性U型端子245I的接触夹则具有弹性，因此能在端子24与转接接口40连接时稳固地接触，并且因为弹性U型端子的方向不同，如此在转接座20安装于插座34后不易左右晃动，如此便能提供更稳固的连接。
如图28所示。第十实施例中端子24为一弹性方形端子246，而转接接口40则是对应于弹性方形端子形状之方形接头406。弹性方形端子246有三个端子弹片246X、246Y、246Z。端子弹片246X的形状如弹性U型端子，端子弹片246Y形状为具有缺口或封闭的方形环状，端子弹片246Y环绕于端子弹片246X外，端子弹片246Y并且有四个弹性接脚246Y1、246Y2、246Y3、246Y4。端子弹片246Z形状亦为具有缺口或封闭的方形环状，端子弹片246Z环绕于端子弹片246Y外，端子弹片246Z并且有四个弹性接脚246Z1、246Z2、246Z3、246Z4。方形接头406则是有一中心端子406X以及两个方形环状的方形接环406Y及406Z，方形接环406Z环绕于方形接环406Y外，中心端子406X位于的方形接环406Y及406Z的中央。
弹性方形端子246与方形接头406相连后如图29所示。端子弹片246X与中心端子406X电性连接，端子弹片246Y与方形接环406Y通过其四个弹性接脚246Y1、246Y2、246Y3、246Y4电性连接。以弹性接脚246Y4为例，弹性接脚246Y4与方形接环406Y有一接触点626，因弹性接脚246Y4具有 弹性，在弹性方形端子246与方形接头406相连时弹性接脚246Y4可以稳固地与方形接环406Y电性连接。同样地，弹性接脚246Y1、246Y2、246Y3也可以稳固地与方形接环406Y接触，使端子弹片246Y与方形接环406Y电性连接。
端子弹片246Z与方形接环406Z也同样地通过四个弹性接脚246Z1、246Z2、246Z3、246Z4电性连接。以弹性接脚246Z3为例，弹性接脚246Z3与方形接环406Z有一接触点628，如同前段说明，弹性接脚246Z1、246Z2、246Z4也可以稳固地与方形接环406Y接触，使端子弹片246Z与方形接环406Z电性连接。
端子弹片246X、246Y、246Z与中心端子406X、方形接环406Y及406Z可分别传送不同电位的信号。举例来说，端子弹片246X与中心端子406X为地线，端子弹片246Y与方形接环406Y为相线，而端子弹片246Z与方形接环406Z则为中线，如此依照本实施例之设计，转接座20安装于插座34后便可以将底座30之电源传输至母接头22。或是在设计的需求下，端子弹片246X与中心端子406X不需电性连接(亦即不需接地)，端子弹片246Y与方形接环406Y为相线，而端子弹片246Z与方形接环406Z则为中线，在这个情况下只需考虑端子弹片246Y、246Z以及方形接环406Y、406Z。此外，于本实施例中，弹性方形端子246与方形接头406能以任意的方向相连接，因此在本实施例中的转接座20亦不具方向性。
此外，本申请尚有一第十一实施例，如图30所示，端子24同样为弹性方形端子247，而转接接口则为圆形接头407。弹性方形端子247也同样具有三个端子弹片247X、247Y、247Z。端子弹片247X的形状如弹性U型端子，端 子弹片247Y形状为具有缺口或封闭的方形环状，端子弹片247Y环绕于端子弹片247X外，端子弹片247Y并且有四个弹性接脚247Y1、247Y2、247Y3、247Y4。端子弹片247Z形状亦为具有缺口或封闭的方形环状，端子弹片247Z环绕于端子弹片247Y外，端子弹片247Z并且有四个弹性接脚247Z1、247Z2、247Z3、247Z4。圆形接头407则是有一中心端子407X以及两个圆形环状的圆形接环407Y及407Z，圆形接环407Z环绕于圆形接环407Y外，中心端子407X位于的圆形接环407Y及407Z的中央。
弹性方形端子247与圆形接头407相连后如图31所示。端子弹片247X与中心端子407X电性连接，端子弹片247Y与圆形接环407Y通过其四个弹性接脚247Y1、247Y2、247Y3、247Y4电性连接。以弹性接脚247Y4为例，弹性接脚247Y4与圆形接环407Y有一接触点626，因弹性接脚247Y4具有弹性，在弹性方形端子247与圆形接环407相连时弹性接脚247Y4可以稳固地与圆形接环407Y电性连接。同样地，弹性接脚247Y1、247Y2、247Y3也可以稳固地与圆形接环407Y接触，使端子弹片247Y与圆形接环407Y电性连接。
端子弹片247Z与圆形接环407Z也同样地通过四个弹性接脚247Z1、247Z2、247Z3、247Z4电性连接。以弹性接脚247Z3为例，弹性接脚247Z3与圆形接环407Z有一接触点628，如同前段说明，弹性接脚247Z1、247Z2、247Z4也可以稳固地与圆形接环407Y接触，使端子弹片247Z与圆形接环407Z电性连接。本实施例可以如第十实施例传送不同电位的电源信号，并且本实施例亦不具方向性，可使转接座22以任意的方向安装于插座34上。
在第五～十一实施例中，在弹性U型端子、弹性方形端子设于转接接口 40上时，其构造不能超过插座34的顶面；在圆柱接头、方柱接头、板状接头、方形接头、圆形接头设于转接接口40上时，其构造不能超过插座34的顶面。
第一～十一实施例的转接座20设计成不具方向性，然而转接座20也可以设计成具有方向性：比如弹性U型端子的方向不同，需要特定的接头方向才能相互连接；或是端子24与转接接口的结构可以设计成只能以一个或两个方向连接；或是转接座20上有凸起部与插座34上之凹槽相对应，因此就只有凸起部与凹槽位置相符时，转接座20才能安装于插座34。在此设计下，转接座20便只能以特定方向安装于插座34上。
此外，底座30更可以有一个或多个开关，如图1所示，每个插座34旁都设有一个副开关320，来控制插座34的电源是否导通。而底座30也可以设有一个总开关310，来控制底座30上所有插座34的电源是否导通。总开关310以及副开关320可设置一负载控制，当超过负载时则自动跳开使该其变成断路。
配合总开关310以及副开关320的设计，搭配第一磁性连接部26及第二磁性连接部46的功能，本申请还可以设计成当打开总开关310及副开关320时，第一磁性连接部26及第二磁性连接部46之间具有磁力相连接，因此，转接座20与插座34可以稳固地连接。而当关闭总开关310及副开关320时，第一磁性连接部26及第二磁性连接部46之间便不具磁力连接，便可以将转接座20从插座34上移除。
请参阅图32、图33和图41，图32绘示了依据本申请的第十二实施例的接触接口32的结构图，图33绘示图32的接触接口32组装于底座 30的示意图。图41绘示可替换式模块化插座结构10与外部电源70连接的示意图。底座30另包含一接触接口32，接触接口32用来电连接于转接接口40和一外部电源70，用于将外部电源70的电信号传导至转接接口40。接触接口32包含一接触部321和一线缆322。接触部321安装于底座30内。线缆322连接接触部321以及外部电源70。线缆322是以焊接在接触部321上。
请参阅图34～图37，图34绘示依据本创作的第十三实施例的接触接口32的结构图。图35绘示图34的接触接口32组装于底座30的俯视图。图36绘示图35沿A-A’线的剖面图。图37绘示图35沿B-B’线的剖面图。接触接口32包含一接触部321、一线缆322、一夹持弹片323和一推块324。夹持弹片323包含一第一卡合部3231、一第二卡合部3232和一连接部3233，连接部3233连接于第一卡合部3231和第二卡合部3232之间，连接部3233接触接触部321。推块324推向夹持弹片323的第一卡合部3231和第二卡合部3232时，线缆322不会与第一卡合部3231和第二卡合部3232紧密接触。进一步来说，底座30设有一插入孔301。工具(例如螺丝起子)穿过插入孔301后，可以推动推块324向第一卡合部3231和第二卡合部3232移动，使得线缆322不紧密接触夹持弹片323的第一卡合部3231和第二卡合部3232。如此一来，便于将线缆322插入或拔出底座30所需的力量降低。
请参阅图38和图39，图38绘示了依据本申请的第十四实施例的接触接口32的结构图。图39绘示图38的接触接口32组装于底座30的 示意图。接触接口32包含一接触部321、一线缆322、一夹持片325和一固定装置326。夹持片325接触线缆322。固定装置326用于固定于夹持片325时，将线缆322紧压接触部321。
请参阅图40，图40绘示了依据本申请的第十五实施例的接触接口32的结构图。接触接口32是一插头，可以直接插入一般家用交流电插座以与外部电源70连接，用于将外部电源70的电信号传导至转接接口40。
本申请所述的可替换式模块化插座结构，还可以具有电力线通信(Power Line Communication)的功能，可以处理网络数据数据，以及传送接收其他电力线通信装置、电子装置、因特网等的信号。因此，母接头22也可以是RJ45等规格之网络插孔226，如此一来，本申请所述的可替换式模块化插座结构在提供电源的同时也可以提供网络信号给电子装置。
转接座20除了可以提供电源和网络信号，母接头22也可以是一LED灯228，可以用来照明或是当作指示灯使用，比如以不同的LED颜色显示插座上负载的情况，或是以长亮或闪烁来显示网络的联机状况等。
本申请所述的可替换式模块化插座结构，通过转接座与转接接口的构造，解决了想要在同一个插座上使用不同规格插头的困难，而且在提供电源给各种装置的同时亦可提供网络联机，加上磁性连接的构造提高转接座安装在插座时的稳固性，并且本申请所述转接座可依需求设计成不具方向性或是具有方向性，本申请不仅方便使用并且兼顾用电安全。
虽然本申请已用较佳实施例揭露如上，然而，其并非用以限定本申请，本领域的普通技术人员，在不脱离本申请的精神和范围内，当可作各种的更 动与修改，因此本申请的保护范围当视后附的权利要求所界定者为准。
