A plurality of iron bars are fixedly connected to the side of the insulator 4 near the socket terminal 12, and the wires are wound around the plurality of iron bars in sequence, and the winding direction of the wires on each iron bar is consistent.

[0033] When all the iron bars are wound, the wire is connected to the negative pole of the electrode patch 601. After power is turned on, the iron bars and the wires wound around them form an electromagnet 602, and the magnetic poles of each electromagnet 602 are in the same direction.

When the permanent magnet 603 moves toward the connecting plug 101, the permanent magnet 603 applies a thrust to the locking rod 604 in its own sliding direction. After cooperating with the movable shaft of the rotating locking rod 604, the direction of the force is changed so that the locking rod 604 applies pressure to the electromagnet 602, thereby fastening the electromagnet 602.

[0038] In addition, the inner wall of the limiting groove 8 close to the locking rod 604 is parallel to the locking rod 604, which is used to limit the rotation direction of the locking rod 604, and can prevent the permanent magnet 603 from falling from the limiting groove 8 when the electromagnet 602 is not inserted. The inner wall of the limiting groove 8 away from the permanent magnet 603 is fixedly connected with a clamping block 10 to prevent the position of the permanent magnet 603 from being offset.

The insulating oil bag 701 is arranged on one side close to the connection between the socket terminal 12 and the connecting plug 101. In addition, the insulating oil bag 701 is filled with insulating oil for oil flow arc extinguishing.

[0040] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4A control groove 11 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove 8 on the side away from the permanent magnet 603.

[0043] The working principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: after the connector is correctly connected and powered on, current flows into the electrode patch 601 and the wire connected thereto, so that the electromagnet 602 extending into the limiting groove 8 and abutting against the permanent magnet 603 attracts the permanent magnet 603, thereby fastening the socket terminal 12 and the connecting plug 101.

[0044] In addition, when the power is on and the connector 1 and the plug connector 2 are subjected to external force, so that the connector 1 and the plug connector 2 are about to be separated, the permanent magnet 603 cooperates with the locking rod 604 so that the locking rod 604 applies pressure to the electromagnet 602 to increase the friction of the electromagnet 602 and try to prevent the electromagnet 602 from slipping out of the limiting hole, thereby increasing the tightness between the socket terminal 12 and the connecting plug 101.

[0045] When the socket terminal 12 and the connection plug 101 are accidentally disconnected, the permanent magnet 603 slides downward under the action of the electromagnet 602, and the arc-starting needle 704 can guide the arc between the socket terminal 12 and the connection plug 101 as much as possible, and guide the arc into the insulating oil in the insulating oil bag 701 to extinguish the arc. If the permanent magnet 603 is further moved, the piercing needle 703 pierces the insulating oil bag 701 so that the connection cavity 5 is filled with insulating oil, thereby disconnecting the connector from the power supply, and minimizing the safety hazard caused by the accidental disconnection of the connector.
