Abstract
A rotating lamp tube socket structure includes a seat body, a cover and a rotating element, and the rotating element is pivotally turned with respect to a cover to an installing position or a conducting position, such that when the rotating element is pivotally turned to the installing position, an elastic element is compressed to retract in a direction towards the cover, and when the rotating element is pivotally turned to the conducting position, an elastic resilience of the elastic element props the rotating element to be protruded towards the outside.
Claims7
A rotating lamp tube socket structure, comprising:
- a seat body, having an installing portion and a containing portion, and the containing portion having a support pillar, and at least one stop portion formed at a top end of the support pillar and protruded outwardly;
- a cover, covered onto the containing portion of the seat body, and having a through hole formed on the cover and communicated with the containing portion, and an electrically conductive plate installed in the through hole;
- a rotating element, passed into the through hole of the cover, and pivotally turnable with respect to the cover to an installing position and a conducting position, and having an elastic element installed in the containing portion of the seat body and capable of pushing the rotating element outward, an embedding groove penetrating through both sides of the rotating element and provided for embedding a lamp tube terminal therein, a plugging hole formed in the embedding groove and provided for passing the support pillar, a positioning portion disposed on an inner periphery of the plugging hole and opposite to the stop portion of the support pillar, and an oblique guide plane formed on both sides of the positioning portion separately and coupled to the positioning portion;
- wherein, during the process of pivotally turning the rotating element to the installing position, the oblique guide plane of the rotating element is limited by the stop portion of the support pillar to force the rotating element to retract in a direction towards the cover gradually and compress the elastic element, and when the rotating element is pivotally turned to the installing position, the positioning portion of the rotating element and the stop portion of the support pillar are latched with each other to position the rotating element;
- and
- when the rotating element is pivotally turned to the conducting position, the latch between the positioning portion and the stop portion is released, and an elastic resilience of the elastic element drives the rotating element propped by the elastic element to be protruded to the outside.
