Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of socket-related technology, and more specifically, to a socket. Background Technology

[0002] As a common electrical connection accessory, sockets have different socket shapes to accommodate different national standards, such as British Standard and Australian Standard. Therefore, some sockets integrate multiple sockets. Safety shutters, as safety doors in sockets, serve a protective function.

[0003] However, the current design of protective shutters in sockets with multiple different standards can easily cause interference, leading to malfunctions. To avoid this, some sockets have protective shutters that only protect certain sockets of different types, allowing the socket to function normally. However, this reduces the safety of the socket and increases the risk of accidental electric shock.

[0004] As can be seen from the above, the protective shutters of current sockets cannot fully adapt to different types of sockets, resulting in a decrease in the safety of socket use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a socket that solves the problem that the protective doors of existing sockets cannot fully adapt to different types of sockets, resulting in reduced safety during socket use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a socket is provided. The socket includes a faceplate having at least British Standard (BST) and Australian Standard (AOS) sockets. Along a first direction, the faceplate has a first region and a second region. The ground wire sockets of both the BST and AOS sockets are located in the first region; the neutral and live wire sockets of both the BST and AOS sockets are located in the second region. The neutral wire socket of both the BST and AOS sockets is located on a first side of the second region, and the live wire socket of both the BST and AOS sockets is located on a second side of the second region opposite to the first side; a socket base, on which the faceplate is disposed to form a mounting cavity; a BST protective door and an AOS protective door, which are slidably disposed within the mounting cavity, with at least a portion of the BST protective door overlapping the AOS protective door; and a reset structure disposed between the BST and AOS protective doors, which, along the first direction, provides opposing driving forces to the BST and AOS protective doors.

[0007] Furthermore, at least a portion of the ground wire socket of the British Standard Socket and the ground wire socket of the Australian Standard Socket overlap; and / or along the first direction, at least a portion of the ground wire socket of the British Standard Socket is located on the side of the ground wire socket of the Australian Standard Socket away from the second region; and / or along the first direction, the neutral wire socket and the live wire socket of the Australian Standard Socket are located on the side of the neutral wire socket and the live wire socket of the British Standard Socket facing the first region.

[0008] Furthermore, the Australian standard protective door is located between the British standard protective door and the cover; the Australian standard protective door and the British standard protective door slide together; the British standard protective door is slidably located between the Australian standard protective door and the socket, and the Australian standard protective door is slidably located between the British standard protective door and the cover.

[0009] Furthermore, the British Standard protective door has a grounding via corresponding to the grounding hole of the British Standard plug, and the side of the grounding via that is away from the neutral and live wire holes of the British Standard plug has an inclined surface; the British Standard protective door has a flat plate structure corresponding to the neutral and live wire holes of the British Standard plug. When the British Standard plug is inserted, the grounding electrode of the British Standard plug passes through the grounding via and drives the British Standard protective door to move toward the first area, and the flat plate structure avoids the neutral and live wire holes of the British Standard plug.

[0010] Furthermore, the Australian standard protection door is located above the British standard protection door. The British standard protection door has clearance grooves for the neutral wire socket and the live wire socket to avoid the Australian standard plug. When the Australian standard plug is inserted, the Australian standard plug drives the Australian standard protection door to move toward the second area, and the Australian standard plug passes through the clearance groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the British Standard protective door is slidably mounted on the socket. Along the first direction, the first end of the British Standard protective door has a grounding through hole and an abutment portion disposed at the end of the grounding through hole. At least a portion of the grounding through hole communicates with the grounding socket of the British Standard socket. The abutment portion protrudes toward the cover and has a bevel. One end of the bevel toward the socket is located inside the area of ​​the grounding socket of the British Standard socket, and the other end of the bevel is inclined toward the side away from the second area.

[0012] Furthermore, the Australian standard protective door includes a neutral wire protection arm segment and a live wire protection arm segment set at an angle, and the distance between the ends of the neutral wire protection arm segment and the live wire protection arm segment facing the first area is greater than the distance between the ends of the neutral wire protection arm segment and the live wire protection arm segment away from the first area.

[0013] Furthermore, the socket and / or cover are provided with a pair of first limiting members, which abut against the side walls of the neutral wire protection arm and the live wire protection arm facing each other, so as to stop the Australian standard protection door from moving towards the first area.

[0014] Furthermore, the cover has a pair of second limiting members extending toward the socket. The second limiting members have a first plate segment and a second plate segment that are bent. The pair of first plate segments abut against the end faces of the neutral wire protection arm segment and the live wire protection arm segment facing the first area, respectively, to limit the Australian standard protection door; and / or the neutral wire protection arm segment and the live wire protection arm segment have limiting protrusions on the sides that are far apart from each other, and the sides of the limiting protrusions that are far apart from each other are slidably connected to the second plate segment.

[0015] Furthermore, the end face of the Australian standard protective door facing the cover is spaced apart from the cover to form a gap area. The cover has a stop block extending toward the gap area. The connection area of ​​the neutral wire protection arm segment and the live wire protection arm segment has a protruding structure that abuts against the socket. When one of the neutral wire protection arm segment and the live wire protection arm segment rotates toward the cover, the limiting protrusion on the corresponding neutral wire protection arm segment or the live wire protection arm segment abuts against the end face of the stop block facing the first area to restrict the movement of the Australian standard protective door.

[0016] Furthermore, the Australian standard protective door also includes a connecting arm section disposed between the neutral wire protection arm section and the live wire protection arm section. The connecting arm section has an arched structure facing the first area, so that the neutral wire protection arm section, the connecting arm section, and the live wire protection arm section form a W-shaped structure as a whole. The cover also has a third limiting member protruding towards the socket. At least a portion of the limiting end face of the connecting arm section facing the first area abuts against the third limiting member. The connecting arm section is provided with a guide post in the direction away from the first area. At least a portion of the guide post can penetrate the British standard protective door and slide in cooperation with the British standard protective door; and / or a reset structure is sleeved on the guide post.

[0017] According to the technical solution of the present invention, the socket includes a face cover, a socket base, a British Standard (BST) protective door, an Australian Standard (ABS) protective door, and a reset structure. The face cover has at least BST and ABS sockets. The face cover has a first region and a second region along a first direction. The ground wire sockets of both the BST and ABS sockets are located in the first region. The neutral wire sockets and live wire sockets of both the BST and ABS sockets are located in the second region. The neutral wire socket of both the BST and ABS sockets is located on a first side of the second region, and the live wire socket of both the BST and ABS sockets is located on a second side of the second region opposite to the first side. The face cover is disposed on the socket base to form a mounting cavity. The BST and ABS protective doors are slidably disposed inside the mounting cavity. At least a portion of the BST protective door is stacked with the ABS protective door. The reset structure is disposed between the BST and ABS protective doors. The reset structure along the first direction is used to provide opposite driving forces to the BST and ABS protective doors.

[0018] As can be seen from the above, the socket of this application adopts British standard sockets and Australian standard sockets arranged on the same side of the faceplate. That is, the neutral wire socket, live wire socket and ground wire socket of the British standard socket and Australian standard socket are all arranged on the same side, thereby rationally arranging the British standard sockets and Australian standard sockets and improving the utilization rate of the effective area of ​​the faceplate. In addition, this application sets British standard protective doors corresponding to British standard sockets and Australian standard protective doors corresponding to Australian standard sockets. Each socket can be protected by the protective doors, improving the safety of socket use. The partially stacked British standard protective doors and Australian standard protective doors are set inside the mounting cavity. At the same time, the British standard protective doors and Australian standard protective doors share a reset structure, thereby rationally utilizing the internal space of the mounting cavity. According to the protective doors set according to the socket structure of this application, the reset structure of this application provides the British standard protective doors and Australian standard protective doors with driving force to move in opposite directions, improving the convenience of use.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0032] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.

[0033] To address the problem that the protective covers of existing sockets cannot fully adapt to different types of sockets, thus reducing the safety of socket use, this invention provides a socket.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the socket includes a faceplate 20, a socket base 10, a British Standard (BST) protective door 40, an Australian Standard (ABS) protective door 50, and a reset structure 30. The faceplate 20 has at least a British Standard (BST) socket 210 and an ABS socket 220. Along a first direction, the faceplate 20 has a first region and a second region. The ground wire sockets 221 of both the British Standard (BST) socket 210 and the ABS socket 220 are located in the first region. The neutral wire sockets and live wire sockets of both the British Standard (BST) socket 210 and the ABS socket 220 are located in the second region. The neutral wire socket of both the British Standard (BST) socket 210 and the ABS socket 220 is located on the first side of the second region. The live wire socket of both the British Standard (BST) socket 210 and the ABS socket 220 is located on the second side. In the second region, on the second side opposite to the first side, the cover 20 covers the socket 10 to form a mounting cavity 101. The British Standard protective door 40 and the Australian Standard protective door 50 are slidably disposed inside the mounting cavity 101. At least a portion of the British Standard protective door 40 is stacked with the Australian Standard protective door 50, that is, at least a portion of the British Standard protective door 40 is located on the side of the Australian Standard protective door 50 facing or away from the cover 20. The reset structure 30 is disposed between the British Standard protective door 40 and the Australian Standard protective door 50. The reset structure 30 along the first direction is used to provide the British Standard protective door 40 and the Australian Standard protective door 50 with opposite driving forces.

[0035] Specifically, the socket of this application adopts a design where British standard sockets 210 and Australian standard sockets 220 are arranged on the same side of the cover 20. That is, the neutral, live, and ground wire sockets of both the British standard socket 210 and the Australian standard socket 220 are located on the same side, thus rationally arranging the British standard sockets 210 and the Australian standard sockets 220 and improving the utilization rate of the effective area of ​​the cover 20. Furthermore, this application provides British standard protective doors 40 corresponding to the British standard sockets 210 and Australian standard protective doors 50 corresponding to the Australian standard sockets 220, allowing each socket to pass through. The use of protective doors enhances the safety of the socket. Partially stacked British Standard protective doors 40 and Australian Standard protective doors 50 are installed inside the mounting cavity 101, sharing a reset structure 30, thus making efficient use of the internal space of the mounting cavity 101. The protective doors are designed according to the socket structure of this application, and the reset structure 30 provides driving force for the British Standard protective doors 40 and Australian Standard protective doors 50 to move in opposite directions, improving ease of use.

[0036] Specifically, when the plug is inserted into the British standard socket 210, the plug pushes against the British standard protective door 40, driving the British standard protective door 40 to move along the second region towards the first region. At this time, the reset structure 30 is deformed by force. When the plug is separated from the British standard socket 210, the reset structure 30 provides a driving force for the British standard protective door 40 to reset. Under the drive of the reset structure 30, the British standard protective door 40 resets. When the plug is inserted into the Australian standard socket 220, the plug drives the Australian standard protective door 50 to move along the first region towards the second region. At this time, the reset structure 30 is deformed by force. When the plug is separated from the Australian standard socket 220, the reset structure 30 provides a driving force for the Australian standard protective door 50 to reset. Under the drive of the reset structure 30, the Australian standard protective door 50 resets.

[0037] It should be noted that the Australian standard socket 220 and the British standard socket 210 in this application are located on the same side. That is, the ground wire socket 211 of the Australian standard socket 220 and the British standard socket 210 are located in the first area, the neutral wire socket of the Australian standard socket 220 and the British standard socket 210 are located on the same side, and the live wire socket of the Australian standard socket 220 and the British standard socket 210 are located on the same side. Therefore, during use, the British standard socket 210 or the Australian standard socket 220 can be activated, but the two cannot be activated simultaneously.

[0038] In this embodiment, the socket 10 has a receiving groove, and the cover 20 is placed over the opening of the receiving groove to form an installation cavity 101 between the socket 10 and the cover 20. The cover 20 and the socket 10 are fixed by snap-fit ​​or by fasteners.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, at least a portion of the grounding socket 211 of the British standard socket and the grounding socket 221 of the Australian standard socket overlap, thereby making reasonable use of the space of the cover 20, facilitating the opening of holes, and reducing the difficulty of the process.

[0040] Specifically, along the first direction, at least a portion of the ground socket 211 of the British standard socket is located on the side of the ground socket 221 of the Australian standard socket away from the second region.

[0041] Furthermore, the grounding socket 211 of the British standard socket and the grounding socket 221 of the Australian standard socket are collinear, that is, in this application, the symmetrical line of the British standard socket 210 and the symmetrical line of the Australian standard socket 220 are collinear.

[0042] Furthermore, along the first direction, the neutral socket 222 and the live socket 223 of the Australian standard socket are located on the side of the neutral socket 212 and the live socket 213 of the British standard socket facing the first region.

[0043] It should be noted that the Australian standard socket 220 in this application is located inside the area formed by the British standard socket 210. This arrangement is because the British standard plug is larger than the Australian standard plug, so as to reasonably plan the hole structure on the cover 20.

[0044] In this embodiment, the British Standard protective door 40 and the Australian Standard protective door 50 are slidably fitted together. The British Standard protective door 40 and the Australian Standard protective door 50 share a reset structure 30, which provides opposing driving forces to the British Standard protective door 40 and the Australian Standard protective door 50. Along the direction from the cover 20 toward the insert seat 10, the British Standard protective door 40 and the Australian Standard protective door 50 are at least partially stacked, and their slidably fitted structure facilitates efficient use of the space in the mounting cavity 101 and improves the stability of the sliding of the British Standard protective door 40 and the Australian Standard protective door 50.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the Australian standard protective door 50 is located between the British standard protective door 40 and the cover 20; the Australian standard protective door 50 and the British standard protective door 40 are mutually slidably engaged, the British standard protective door 40 is slidably located between the Australian standard protective door 50 and the socket 10, and the Australian standard protective door 50 is slidably located between the British standard protective door 40 and the cover 20.

[0046] Specifically, the British Standard Protective Door 40 has a grounding via 402 corresponding to the grounding socket of the British Standard Socket 210. The side of the grounding via 402 away from the neutral and live sockets of the British Standard Socket 210 has a bevel 411. The British Standard Protective Door 40 has a flat plate structure 430 corresponding to the neutral and live sockets of the British Standard Socket 210. When the British Standard plug is inserted, the grounding electrode of the British Standard plug passes through the grounding via 402, driving the British Standard Protective Door 40 to move toward the first region. The flat plate structure 430 avoids the neutral and live sockets of the British Standard Socket 210.

[0047] Furthermore, along the first direction, the first end of the British Standard protective door 40 has a grounding through hole 402 and an abutment portion 410 disposed at the end of the grounding through hole 402. At least a portion of the grounding through hole 402 communicates with the grounding socket 211 of the British Standard socket. The abutment portion 410 protrudes toward the cover 20 and has a bevel 411. One end of the bevel 411 toward the socket 10 is located inside the area of ​​the grounding socket 211 of the British Standard socket, and the other end of the bevel 411 is inclined toward the side away from the second area.

[0048] When the plug is inserted into the British Standard plug, the plug abuts against the contact part 410 to drive the British Standard protective door 40 to move from the first area toward the second area, thereby avoiding the British Standard socket. In order to improve the moving efficiency of the British Standard protective door 40, a structure with a bevel 411 is used for guidance, so that the plug is inserted into the British Standard socket 210 under the guidance of the bevel 411.

[0049] Furthermore, the end face of the contact portion 410 facing the cover 20 is spaced apart from the cover 20 to avoid the cover 20 affecting the movement of the British Standard protective door 40.

[0050] Furthermore, the socket 10 has a protruding rib 110 extending in the first direction, and the abutment portion 410 has a sliding groove 421 extending in the first direction, with the protruding rib 110 and the sliding groove 421 slidingly engaged. To prevent the British standard protective door 40 from wobbling or shifting when moved under force, the protruding rib 110 and the sliding groove 421 are designed to cooperate, thereby limiting the movement of the British standard protective door 40 in the first direction.

[0051] Furthermore, the Australian standard protective door 50 is located on the side of the British standard protective door 40 facing the cover 20. The British standard protective door 40 has a clearance groove 401 that avoids the neutral and live wire holes of the Australian standard socket 220. The Australian standard protective door 50 blocks or avoids the neutral and live wire holes of the British standard socket 210. When the Australian standard plug is inserted, the Australian standard plug drives the Australian standard protective door 50 to move towards the second area. The Australian standard plug passes through the clearance groove 401 and is plugged into the corresponding Australian standard plug to avoid the phenomenon that the British standard protective door 40 obstructs the Australian standard plug from being inserted into the Australian standard socket.

[0052] In this embodiment, the socket 10 has a receiving groove, and the British Standard protective door 40 is slidably disposed inside the receiving groove. Along the first direction, the reset structure 30 provides a driving force for the second end of the British Standard protective door 40 to abut against the groove sidewall of the socket 10. Specifically, to facilitate installation and limit the British Standard protective door 40, the groove sidewall of the socket 10 abuts against the British Standard protective door 40 to prevent the British Standard protective door 40 from moving under the drive of the reset structure 30. As the British Standard protective door 40 moves from the second region toward the first region, the second end of the British Standard protective door 40 separates from the groove sidewall of the socket 10.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, along the first direction, the second end of the British standard protective door 40 has a mounting portion 420 protruding towards the face cover 20. The mounting portion 420 is used to slide with the Australian standard protective door 50. The reset structure 30 is disposed between the Australian standard protective door 50 and the mounting portion 420.

[0054] Specifically, the reset structure 30 is disposed between the mounting part 420 of the British Standard protective door 40 and the Australian Standard protective door 50, and the end of the mounting part 420 facing the British Standard protective door 40 abuts against the reset structure 30.

[0055] Furthermore, the installation part 420 is a plate structure, at least a portion of the Australian standard protective door 50 is slidably engaged with the plate structure, and the side of the plate structure facing the first area abuts against the reset structure 30.

[0056] Furthermore, the mounting section 420 and the contact section 410 are co-linear.

[0057] Furthermore, the mounting portion 420 along the first direction has a sliding hole 412, at least a portion of the Australian standard protective door 50 can pass through the sliding hole 412 and be slidably disposed with the sliding hole 412. By slidingly engaging at least a portion of the Australian standard protective door 50 with the sliding hole 412, relative sliding between the Australian standard protective door 50 and the British standard protective door 40 is achieved, and there is a guiding and limiting effect between the British standard protective door 40 and the Australian standard protective door 50.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the Australian Standard Protection Door 50 is slidably mounted on the cover 20. The Australian Standard Protection Door 50 includes a neutral wire protection arm section 510 and a live wire protection arm section 520 arranged at an angle. The distance between the ends of the neutral wire protection arm section 510 and the live wire protection arm section 520 facing the first area is greater than the distance between the ends of the neutral wire protection arm section 510 and the live wire protection arm section 520 away from the first area.

[0059] Specifically, the Australian standard protection door 50 is used to cooperate with the Australian standard socket 220. Therefore, the neutral wire protection arm section 510 and the live wire protection arm section 520 of the Australian standard protection door 50 of this application are aligned with the neutral wire socket and the live wire socket of the Australian standard protection door 50. Both the neutral wire protection arm section 510 and the live wire protection arm section 520 are inclined arm sections.

[0060] Furthermore, the socket 10 and / or the cover 20 are provided with paired first limiting members 120. The first limiting members 120 abut against the side walls of the neutral wire protection arm section 510 and the live wire protection arm section 520 facing each other, respectively, to prevent the Australian standard protection door 50 from moving towards the first area. By setting the first limiting members 120, the Australian standard protection door 50 is held between the first limiting members 120 and the reset structure 30 during installation, facilitating positioning and installation.

[0061] The first limiting member 120 can be plate-shaped or other shapes.

[0062] In this embodiment, the face cover 20 has a pair of second limiting members 240 extending toward the insert seat 10. The second limiting members 240 have a first plate segment 241 and a second plate segment 242 that are bent, and an angle region is formed between the first plate segment 241 and the second plate segment 242.

[0063] The first plate segment 241, which is arranged in pairs, abuts against the end faces of the neutral wire protection arm segment 510 and the live wire protection arm segment 520 facing the first area, so as to limit the Australian standard protection door 50; the neutral wire protection arm segment 510 and the live wire protection arm segment 520 have limiting protrusions 550 on the side away from each other, and the side of the limiting protrusions 550 away from each other is slidably connected to the second plate segment 242.

[0064] Specifically, the neutral wire protection arm segment 510 and the live wire protection arm segment 520 are located inside the corner area at the end facing the first area. The first plate segment 241 is used to block the movement of the Australian standard protection door 50 towards the first area. The second plate segment 242 is used to limit the conductor so that when the Australian standard protection door 50 moves, the second plate segment 242 provides a guide surface that is in contact with and slides with the limiting protrusion 550.

[0065] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the end face of the Australian standard protective door 50 facing the cover 20 is spaced apart from the cover 20 to form a gap area. The cover 20 has a stop block 250 extending toward the gap area. The connection area of ​​the neutral wire protection arm segment 510 and the live wire protection arm segment 520 has a protrusion structure 531 that abuts against the socket 10. When one of the neutral wire protection arm segment 510 and the live wire protection arm segment 520 rotates toward the cover 20, the limiting protrusion 550 on the corresponding neutral wire protection arm segment 510 or the live wire protection arm segment 520 abuts against the end face of the stop block 250 toward the first area to restrict the movement of the Australian standard protective door 50.

[0066] Specifically, when the neutral wire socket 222 or the live wire socket 223 of the Australian standard socket is accidentally touched, one of the neutral wire protection arm 510 and the live wire protection arm 520 in the Australian standard protection door 50 will rotate toward the socket base 10 and the other will rotate toward the face cover 20. After rotating toward the face cover 20, a limiting protrusion 550 will appear to abut against the end face of the blocking block 250 facing the first area. At this time, the Australian standard protection door 50 cannot move, thereby achieving the technical effect of releasing a single pole.

[0067] Furthermore, the connection area between the neutral wire protection arm segment 510 and the live wire protection arm segment 520 has a protruding structure 531 that abuts against the socket 10, so that the neutral wire protection arm segment 510, the live wire protection arm segment 520 and the protruding structure 531 are configured as a rocker structure. According to the principle of rocker, if one of the neutral wire protection arm segment 510 and the live wire protection arm segment 520 is accidentally touched, the other will rotate toward the cover 20 to abut against the stop block 250.

[0068] Furthermore, the Australian standard protective door 50 also includes a connecting arm section 530 disposed between the neutral wire protection arm section 510 and the live wire protection arm section 520. The connecting arm section 530 has an arched structure facing the first region, so that the neutral wire protection arm section 510, the connecting arm section 530 and the live wire protection arm section 520 are in a W-shaped structure. The cover 20 also has a third limiting member 230 protruding towards the socket 10. At least a portion of the limiting end face 532 of the connecting arm section 530 facing the first region abuts against the third limiting member 230.

[0069] The third limiting member 230 and the connecting arm section 530 are in a face-to-face contact to stop the Australian standard protective door 50 from moving toward the first area.

[0070] Furthermore, the protruding structure 531 is provided on the connecting arm section 530.

[0071] In this embodiment, the connecting arm segment 530 is provided with a guide post 540 in the direction away from the first area. At least a part of the guide post 540 can penetrate the British standard protective door 40 and slide in cooperation with the British standard protective door 40. The reset structure 30 is sleeved on the guide post 540.

[0072] The guide post 540 can penetrate the mounting part 420 to achieve a sliding fit between the guide post 540 and the mounting part 420. The sliding fit between the guide post 540 and the mounting part 420 limits the movement direction of the Australian standard protective door 50 and the British standard protective door 40 to prevent shaking. The reset structure 30 is a spring, which is sleeved on the guide post 540.

[0075] 2. Furthermore, this application provides a British standard protective door 40 corresponding to the British standard socket 210 and an Australian standard protective door 50 corresponding to the Australian standard socket 220. Each socket can be protected by the protective door, which improves the safety of socket use.

[0076] 3. The British Standard protective door 40 and the Australian Standard protective door 50 are partially stacked and set inside the mounting cavity 101. At the same time, the British Standard protective door 40 and the Australian Standard protective door 50 share the reset structure 30, thereby making reasonable use of the internal space of the mounting cavity 101.

[0077] 4. The protective door is set according to the socket structure of this application, and the reset structure 30 of this application provides the driving force for the British standard protective door 40 and the Australian standard protective door 50 to move in opposite directions, which improves the convenience of use.
