Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of current converters, and in particular to a current converter. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the mode 2 chargers that are equipped with new energy vehicles are generally single-specification with a rated current of 10A or 16A. Most household sockets are 10A sockets. When using a charger with a 16A plug, it is necessary to use a 10A converter so that the socket can adapt to the current size when inserted without being damaged.
[0003] Most converters on the market currently do not have the current switching function, and are very likely to burn out the power socket during actual use. In addition, the converters on the market currently rely mainly on the plug-in and pull-out force of the plug and socket to fix them, and there is a risk of accidental disconnection between the plug and the converter during use. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that most converters on the market currently do not have the current switching function, which can easily burn out the power socket during actual use, and the converters on the market currently are mainly fixed by the plugging and unplugging force of the plug and the socket, which poses the risk of accidental disconnection between the plug and the converter during use.

[0006] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is: by setting the groove, after the second pin at the bottom end of the outer surface of the plug is inserted into the inside of the socket in the groove, the four sides of the bottom end of the outer surface of the plug will be tightly fitted with the four sides of the inner wall of the groove, so that the plug is not easy to shake inside the groove and the second pin is not easy to fall off from the inside of the socket.
[0007] Preferably, two slots are provided on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the groove, and protrusions are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer surface of the plug, and the protrusions are made of elastic plastic or rubber.
[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is that after the bottom end of the outer surface of the plug is inserted into the inner rear protrusion of the groove, it will be locked into the inner part of the slot to further fix the relative position of the plug and the groove.

The PCBA will use the connecting line to send a current adjustment signal and an over-temperature protection signal to the plug side through the signal pin, so that the plug and the current converter are electrically connected, and the output current size is adjusted according to actual use to ensure the safety of electricity use during use.
[0011] Preferably, the connecting wire is located on the left and right sides of the outer surface of the jack component, and the connecting wire is wound around the outer surface of the jack component and does not protrude from the top of the jack component.
