Abstract
A modular replaceable socket device includes one or more adapters, and an adapting interface. The adapter includes a jack and multiple contacts. The jacks are disposed on a top of the adapter for transmitting power or a network signal to an external device. The contacts are disposed on a bottom of the adapter. The adapter couples to external power via the contacts. The base includes a cable interface and one or more sockets. The cable interface connects to external power via a power cable and the one or more sockets is utilized to fix the one or more adapters. The adapting interface is utilized to connect the socket and the one or more adapters. The structure of the adapting interface corresponds to the contacts, for allowing the one or more adapters to couple to the one or more sockets via the adapting interface.
Claims17
A modular replaceable socket device comprising:
- one or more adapters comprising:
- a jack, disposed on a top of the one or more adapters, transmitting power or a network signal to an external device;
- and
- a plurality of contacts, disposed on a bottom of the one or more adapters;
- a base comprising:
- a plurality of sockets, each of sockets having a bottom surface and a surrounded sidewall to form only one opening, configured to allow the one or more adapters to enter the socket via the opening and to fix the one or more adapters;
- and
- an adapting interface, disposed in the one or more sockets, and utilized to connect the socket and the one or more adapters;
- wherein the structure of the adapting interface corresponds to the plurality of contacts, for allowing the one or more adapters to couple to the one or more sockets via the adapting interface,
- wherein a top of the adapting interface is lower than the bottom surface of the socket and the surrounded sidewall of the sockets surrounds the adapting interface,
- wherein a normal direction of the bottom surface of each of sockets is identical.
