[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a plug, which includes a base 1, an inserting member 3 and a connecting member 2. A receiving groove 11 is provided in the base 1, and the inserting member 3 includes a rotating shaft 32 and two lead-out members 33, the two lead-out members 33 are arranged at intervals on the rotating shaft 32, the rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and can rotate the two lead-out members 33 to extend or retract in the receiving groove 11, and the connecting member 2 is arranged on the base 1, and the connecting member 2 is provided with a first connecting portion 21, a second connecting portion 22 and a third connecting portion 23, the second connecting portion 22 is electrically connected to the two lead-out members 33 in the extended state, and a wire harness channel 12 is formed between the first connecting portion 21 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 11, and the wire harness channel 12 is configured to pass a wire, the first connecting portion 21 is used to connect the wire core of the wire, and the third connecting portion 23 is kept in contact with the side wall of the lead-out member 33.

[0039] In this embodiment, a receiving groove 11 is provided in the base 1, and the plug-in member 3 includes a rotating shaft 32 and two lead-out members 33, and the two lead-out members 33 are arranged at intervals on the rotating shaft 32, respectively used to connect the live wire and the neutral wire to meet the normal use of the plug. The rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and can rotate the two lead-out members 33 to extend or retract in the receiving groove 11, so that the plug-in member 3 can be in a folded position and a plug-in position to meet the different use requirements of the user for the plug. The connector 2 is provided with a first connecting portion 21, a second connecting portion 22 and a third connecting portion 23, and the second connecting portion 22 is electrically connected to the two lead-out members 33 in the extended state to ensure the stability of the plug during the use of electricity. A wire bundle channel 12 for passing the wire is formed between the first connecting portion 21 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 11, which makes the passing and connection of the wire more convenient, and improves the space utilization and safety of the internal structure of the plug. The first connecting portion 21 is used to connect the wire core of the wire, ensuring the electrical connection between the connector 2 and the wire core, which can meet the use requirements of large output current. The third connection portion 23 is in contact with the side wall of the lead-out member 33, so that the lead-out member 33 always maintains electrical connection with the connector 2 during the rotation process, thereby improving the safety and stability of the plug and preventing sparks when the plug is inserted into the socket. Through the above arrangement, the plug of this embodiment can meet the demand for large output current and has higher safety.

[0040] The specific structure of the plug is described below:

[0041] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, the plug-in component 3 includes a rotating shaft 32 and two lead-out components 33. The rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the base 1, so that the plug-in component 3 can flexibly rotate around the rotating shaft 32 on the base 1, thereby realizing the functions of folding, storing, extending and unfolding the plug-in component 3. The two lead-out components 33 are arranged at intervals on the rotating shaft 32, and are used to connect the live wire and the neutral wire respectively, thereby ensuring the normal use of the plug. In addition, a limit block is provided on the rotating shaft 32. When the rotating shaft 32 rotates relative to the base 1, the limit block abuts against the base 1, which can limit the rotation of the rotating shaft 32 and prevent the plug-in component 3 from rotating excessively.

[0042] More specifically, in this embodiment, the lead-out member 33 is a metal plate, which is used to make electrical contact with the socket. The lead-out member 33 is usually made of high-toughness iron, nickel-plated copper and other metal materials to ensure that it does not deform during insertion and extraction and is durable. The shaft 32 is insulated from the lead-out member 33 to avoid short circuits. In other embodiments, the lead-out member 33 is a rod-shaped structure, that is, as long as the above-mentioned functions can be achieved, the specific structure of the lead-out member 33 is not limited too much.

[0043] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, each lead-out member 33 is provided with an abutment portion 31, and the connector 2 is provided with two. The two connectors 2 can abut against the two abutment portions 31 one by one, ensuring that when the plug-in member 3 is rotated to the plug-in position (i.e., the lead-out member 33 extends from the receiving groove 11), the abutment portion 31 of each lead-out member 33 can accurately and reliably abut against the second connecting portion 22 on the corresponding connector 2, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the plug and reducing electrical faults caused by poor contact or connection errors. When the plug-in member 3 is rotated to the folded position (i.e., the lead-out member 33 is retracted in the receiving groove 11), the abutment portion 31 is spaced apart from the second connecting portion 22 to prevent the abutment portion 31 from accidentally contacting and connecting with the second connecting portion 22.

[0044] More specifically, in this embodiment, the abutment portion 31 is a protrusion. When the plug-in member 3 is rotated from the folded position to the plug-in position, the protrusion gradually approaches the second connection portion 22 until the protrusion elastically abuts against the second connection portion 22, thereby achieving a stable and reliable electrical connection between the plug-in member 3 and the connector 2. When the lead-out member 33 is inserted into the socket, the current can smoothly pass through the lead-out member 33, the second connection portion 22 and the first connection portion 21 and then be transmitted to the wire and the corresponding electrical device, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the plug and the electrical device. In other embodiments, the abutment portion 31 is a columnar structure, that is, as long as the above-mentioned functional role can be achieved, the specific structure of the abutment portion 31 is not excessively limited.

[0045] Specifically, Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the third connection part 23 includes an extension part 232 and a clamping plate 231. The extension part 232 extends along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32 so that the third connection part 23 can extend and keep contact with the side wall of the lead-out member 33. The two sides of the extension part 232 are respectively extended toward the rotating shaft 32 with clamping plates 231. The two clamping plates 231 can elastically clamp the side wall of the lead-out member 33 to ensure that the electrical connection between the lead-out member 33 and the connector 2 is always stable during the rotation of the plug-in member 3 relative to the base 1. This effectively prevents sparking caused by poor contact and improves the safety and stability of the plug.

[0046] Specifically, Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the side wall of the lead-out piece 33 is provided with an extension end 331, and the extension end 331 extends along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32, ensuring that when the plug-in piece 3 rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft 32, the lead-out piece 33 can always maintain a stable connection state with the third connecting portion 23, thereby enhancing the stability of the electrical connection. The two clamping plates 231 are provided with arc-shaped contact portions 2311 that match the shape of the extension ends 331, so that the clamping plates 231 can fit the surface of the extension ends 331 more closely, thereby ensuring the firmness of the electrical connection, and when the plug-in piece 3 rotates or is subjected to other external forces, the electrical connection can also be kept stable. Such a setting not only improves the safety of the plug, but also enables the plug to maintain a good contact state during long-term use.

[0047] More specifically, in this embodiment, the extended end 331 is a guide post, which is arranged on the side wall of the lead-out piece 33 and extends along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32. The guide post is clamped between the two arc-shaped contact portions 2311 to ensure that the connector 2 can always be electrically connected to the lead-out piece 33 through the guide post, thereby improving the safety and stability of the plug and avoiding sparks when the plug is inserted into the socket.

[0048] Specifically, Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the first connection portion 21 includes a first bending section 211 and a second bending section 212 connected in sequence, the first bending section 211 extends along a first direction, the second bending section 212 extends along a second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are arranged at an angle, so that the second bending section 212 can be easily connected to the wire core of the wire, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the electrical connection. Riveting arms 2121 are arranged on both sides of the second bending section 212, and the riveting arms 2121 are used to rivet and connect to the wire core of the wire, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the first connection portion 21 and the wire core, so as to meet the use requirements of the plug with large output current.

[0049] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, two limiting plates 24 are provided on the connecting member 2, and a protrusion 13 is provided on the base 1. The protrusion 13 is assembled between the two limiting plates 24, so that during the assembly process, the protrusion 13 can be smoothly inserted along the space between the two limiting plates 24 to ensure the correct assembly between the connecting member 2 and the base 1. Among them, the protrusion 13 of this embodiment is a block-shaped or rod-shaped protrusion, and the specific structure of the protrusion 13 is not limited too much here.

[0050] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connector 2 is provided with a positioning hole 25, and the base 1 is provided with a positioning member 14, and the positioning member 14 is inserted into the positioning hole 25. Through the cooperation of the positioning hole 25 and the positioning member 14, the connector 2 and the base 1 can be accurately aligned during the assembly process, so as to facilitate the assembly operation and improve the efficiency. Among them, the positioning member 14 of this embodiment is a positioning rod or a positioning block, and the specific structure of the positioning member 14 is not limited too much here.

[0051] Specifically, Figure 2-Figure 9 As shown, the plug also includes a pressing plate 4, which is connected to the base 1. The connecting member 2 is provided with a connecting groove 26. The pressing plate 4 is clamped in the connecting groove 26, so that the pressing plate 4, the connecting member 2 and the base 1 form a stable overall structure, and can protect the electrical components between the pressing plate 4 and the base 1, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the plug.

[0052] More specifically, if Figure 8 As shown, one end of the connecting member 2 is folded and extended toward one side of the connecting member 2 to form a second connecting portion 22, and the other end of the connecting member 2 is folded toward the other side of the connecting member 2 to form a connecting groove 26. The folding setting of the connecting member 2 simplifies the processing process, reduces the production cost and processing difficulty, and improves the production efficiency.

[0053] Specifically, Figure 2-Figure 9 As shown, one of the connecting member 2 and the pressing plate 4 is provided with a snap-in hole 27, and the other is provided with a protrusion 41 snap-into the snap-in hole 27. The cooperation between the snap-in hole 27 and the protrusion 41 can not only simplify the assembly process, but also ensure a firm connection between the connecting member 2 and the pressing plate 4 to prevent loosening or falling off due to vibration or impact during use.

[0054] More specifically, in this embodiment, a snap-in hole 27 is provided on each connector 2, and a protrusion 41 is provided on the pressing plate 4. During assembly, the pressing plate 4 extends into the connecting groove 26, and is snap-fitted into the snap-in hole 27 through the protrusion 41, thereby achieving a stable connection between the pressing plate 4 and the connector 2. In other embodiments, the snap-in hole 27 is provided on the pressing plate 4, and the protrusion 41 is provided on the connector 2. The specific locations of the snap-in hole 27 and the protrusion 41 are not limited here, as long as the above-mentioned functions can be achieved.

[0055] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, the connector 2 is made of phosphor bronze. Since phosphor bronze has a relatively high hardness, the connector 2 made of phosphor bronze can withstand greater stress and load and is not prone to deformation or breakage.

[0056] This embodiment also provides an electrical device, which includes a wire and a plug. The wire passes through the wire harness channel 12 and is connected to the first connection portion 21, which can meet the demand for large output current and has higher safety. The electrical device includes but is not limited to a water dispenser, a notebook, a washing machine, an electric fan, an air conditioner, etc., and the specific structure and use of the electrical device are not limited here.

[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention.
