A lever switch 100 is provided below each clip structure 13.

[0041] Specifically, the lever switch 100 comprises a base shell 1, a first conductive sheet 2 and a second conductive sheet 3 are installed on the base shell 1, the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3 are insulated, and a conductive assembly 4 is installed on the first conductive sheet 2 to approach or move away from the second conductive sheet 3 to turn on or turn off the connection between the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3, so that the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3 can be turned on or turned off through the conductive assembly 4 to realize on-off control; a sliding block 5 for pushing the conductive assembly 4 is slidingly installed on the base shell 1, the conductive assembly 4 is pushed to move by the sliding block 5, and the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3 are connected after the conductive assembly 4 is pushed; and a third conductive sheet 6 is further provided in the base shell 1, the third conductive sheet 6 is turned on when the conductive assembly 4 is reset, the conductive assembly 4 can be automatically reset to turn on the connection of the third conductive sheet 6, the third conductive sheet 6 can be grounded, and the first conductive sheet can be directly grounded in the normal state, so that the safety state can be maintained before the connection is conducted; and a cover plate is further buckle-mounted on the base shell 1 to form a safe isolation effect; wherein the sliding block 5 passes through the clamping piece structure 13; the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3 are connected to the positive electrode copper sheet 10 or the negative electrode copper sheet 11, and the third conductive sheet 6 is connected to the ground electrode copper sheet 12; that is, only when the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3 are connected, the positive electrode copper sheet 10 and the negative electrode copper sheet 11 can be turned on with the clamping piece structure 13 at the corresponding position; that is, when the male plug terminal is inserted into the clamping piece structure 13 and pushes the sliding block 5 to move to turn on the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3, the positive electrode copper sheet 10 or the negative electrode copper sheet 11 is turned on with the corresponding clamping piece structure 13; and after the male plug terminal is pushed out, the first conductive sheet 2 is reset to connect the third conductive sheet 6 to the ground, so that the power supply can be realized only after the male plug terminal is inserted each time, thereby effectively avoiding the generation of electric sparks; further, the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3 are turned on after the state of the male plug terminal inserted into the clamping piece structure 13 is comprehensively judged, and a detection control circuit for detecting the insertion state of the plug into the clamping piece structure 13 is further provided, the detection control circuit is used for detecting the strain action force generated by the clamping piece structure 13 after the plug is inserted into the clamping piece structure 13, and turning on the lever switch 100 after detecting that the strain action force meets the preset strain action force; the strain action force generated by the clamping piece structure 13 is compared with the preset action force through the detection control circuit before being turned on, so that the safety of the power supply process can be further ensured, and specifically, a variable resistor is connected between the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3, the variable resistor is switched to the on state after the detection control circuit detects that the preset strain action force is met, so that the electric arc spark can not be generated during the insertion process of the male plug under the double action of physical conduction and circuit conduction, and the safety of the overall socket is improved under the action of the double safety measures.

[0047] Specifically, a limiting step structure is arranged at the part of the slider 5 extending into the base shell 1, and an inclined surface is arranged on the part of the limiting step structure towards the inside of the base shell 1, so as to prevent the slider 5 from coming out, and the inclined surface can improve the effect of pushing the spring 44 to expand and improve the action efficiency of the contact piece 43.

[0048] In order to reliably install the overall structure, a through mounting hole 8 is arranged on the base shell 1 and the cover plate.
