A reduction motor 14 is provided on one side of the transmission gear 13, and the output shaft of the reduction motor 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission gear 13. The reduction motor 14 and the transmission gear 13 are both arranged between the socket upper cover 1 and the socket lower cover 2. A plurality of jacks 17 are provided on the top of the socket upper cover 1, and a plurality of motor drive buttons 18 are provided on the front side of the jacks 17. The position of each of the motor drive buttons 18 corresponds to the position of the reduction motor 14, and the motor drive button 18 is arranged on the top of the reduction motor 14. The reduction motor 14 can be controlled by pressing the motor drive button 18 to start the reduction motor 14 to help the user insert the plug pin 16 into the interior of the present invention, thereby facilitating the connection of the circuit.
[0036] The reduction motor 14 can be controlled by a remote controller or a mobile phone APP. The operation of the reduction motor 14 can also be controlled by a remote controller, so that the plug 3 can be remotely controlled to be pulled out and inserted, and turned on and off, which is very convenient and can effectively prevent electrical equipment from being damaged by thunderstorms.
