The fixed conductive piece 7 is connected to the power supply end through a conductor, and the part of the elastic conductive piece 6 that is not connected to the power supply end is electrically connected to the conductive contact piece 8 through a conductor.

[0029] The trigger mechanism includes a slideway arranged in the insertion bin, and the trigger mechanism includes a driver 4, which is provided with one. The driver 4 is arranged in the slideway and can slide along the slideway.

[0030] The driver 4 is provided with an inclined push surface, and the angle between the push surface and the insertion direction of the pin is an acute angle.

[0032] When in use, the pin is inserted into the insertion compartment, and the pin contacts the conductive contact sheet 8. The insertion drives the driver 4 to slide through the pushing surface, and the driver 4 pushes the isolation protector 5 to move, and the isolation protector 5 pushes the elastic conductive sheet 6 to contact the fixed conductive sheet 7, and the electric energy is transferred to the conductive contact sheet 8 through the fixed conductive sheet 7 and the elastic conductive sheet 6 to realize power supply.

The fixed conductive piece 7 is connected to the power supply end through a conductor, and the conductive contact piece 8 of the elastic conductive piece 6 that is not connected to the power supply end is electrically connected to the live wire or the neutral wire through a conductor.

Two drivers 4 are provided, and the two drivers 4 are arranged opposite to each other. The driver 4 is arranged in the slideway, and the driver 4 can slide along the slideway.

[0042] When in use, the pin is inserted into the insertion compartment, and the ground wire pin contacts the conductive contact piece 8 of the ground wire. The insertion drives the driver 4 to slide through the push surface, and compresses the reset device 9 at the same time. The driver 4 pushes the isolation protector 5 to move, and the isolation protector 5 pushes the elastic conductive sheet 6 to contact the fixed conductive sheet 7, and transfers the electric energy to the conductive contact pieces 8 of the live wire and the ground wire through the fixed conductive sheet 7 and the elastic conductive sheet 6, so as to realize power supply.

[0043] When the male end is pulled out, the elastic conductive sheet 6 is separated from the fixed conductive sheet 7 due to its own elasticity, and at the same time, the reset device 9 pushes the driver 4 back to its original position.
