[0024] The telescopic guard plate 27 is provided with a protective hole 34, which slides with the electrical plug pin 26. The two ends of the inner side of the first docking part 22 are fixedly provided with mounting guide rods 33. The telescopic guard plate 27 is slidably mounted on the mounting guide rods 33, and a spring 32 is sleeved on the mounting guide rods 33 to provide elastic force. The second docking part 3 is inserted and removed from the first docking part 22, and the telescopic guard plate 27 is pushed through the second docking part 3.

[0025] The end of the limiting guide rod 8 is provided with a fastening clamping part 10, and a release groove 11 is arranged on the fastening clamping part 10. A pressure rod 12 is telescopically arranged on the socket 2 and located outside the fastening clamping part 10. A spring 13 for providing elastic force is connected between the pressure rod 12 and the socket 2. A pressing inclined end face is arranged on the fastening clamping part 10 for contacting the end of the pushing pressure rod 12. The end of the pressure rod 12 passes through the release groove 11 to remove the limiting guide rod 8.

[0026] A clamping sleeve 9 is threadedly connected to the socket 2 above the fastening part 10. The clamping sleeve 9 is used to clamp the fastening part 10.

[0027] One end of the fixed shaft 23 is provided with a pressing part 29 and a fastening groove 30, and the fixing mechanism is fastened and installed with the fastening groove 30; the other end of the fixed shaft 23 is connected to the socket 1 with a spring 28 for providing elastic force.

[0028] The fixing mechanism includes a protective cylinder 7 located in the corner area of ​​the socket 2, and the protective cylinder 7 is provided with pressing holes.

[0029] The inner side of the protective cylinder 7 is provided with a release plate 14, which is telescopically installed on the socket 2, and a spring 15 for providing elastic force is connected between the release plate 14 and the socket 2.

[0030] A support rod 16 is arranged on the circumference of the pressure plate 14. A pressure roller 17 is provided at one end of the support rod 16. A slide rod 21 is telescopically provided inside the mating hole 6. A pushing part 18 is provided at the end of the slide rod 21 facing the pressure roller 17, and a fastening part 19 is provided at the end of the slide rod 21 facing away from the pressure roller 17. A spring 3 20 for providing elastic force is connected between the slide rod 21 and the inside of the mating hole 6. The pressing part 29 contacts and pushes the fastening part 19, and the fastening part 19 is fastened to the fastening groove 30. The pressure roller 17 is used to push the pushing part 18.

[0031] Operating principle: When socket 1 and socket 2 are installed together, mating part 2 3 mates with mating part 1 22, electrical plug 25 mates with electrical socket 2 5, and electrical socket 1 4 mates with electrical plug pin 26 to achieve electrical connection. When mating part 2 3 mates with mating part 1 22, it can push the telescopic guard plate 27, compressing spring 5 32. The telescopic guard plate 27 can protect the electrical plug pin 26 from bending. When socket 1 and socket 2 are separated, the telescopic guard plate 27 returns to its original position and moves to the top of the electrical plug pin 26, preventing external force from bending the electrical plug pin 26. For example, if the electrical plug pin 26 is bent due to human error, placing the telescopic guard plate 27 on the outside of the electrical plug pin 26 can prevent force from being applied to the electrical plug pin 26. In addition, the telescopic guard plate 27 also has a straightening effect on the electrical plug pin 26 when it moves.

[0032] When socket 1 and socket 2 are installed together, the limiting guide rod 8 is installed in conjunction with the limiting hole 24 to play a limiting role. The limiting guide rod 8 is detachably installed on socket 2. The fastening and pressing part 10 at the top of the limiting guide rod 8 pushes the end of the pressing rod 12 to extend and retract the pressing rod 12, thereby achieving fastening. Then, the pressing sleeve 9 is installed on socket 2 with a threaded connection. The bottom end of the pressing sleeve 9 presses the fastening and pressing part 10. The detachable installation of the limiting guide rod 8 improves the replaceability.

[0033] After socket 1 and socket 2 are installed, the end of the fixed shaft 23 is located in the mating hole 6. By pressing the spring 4 28, the fixed shaft 23 is extended and retracted. The pressing part 29 pushes the fastening part 19, causing the fastening part 19 to move. The fastening part 19 is fastened to the fastening groove 30 to fix the fixed shaft 23. This installation method replaces the cumbersome and laborious connection method of screw fasteners.

[0034] When disassembling socket 1 and socket 2, the release plate 14 can be pressed through the pressing hole at the end of the protective cylinder 7. The release plate 14 moves, the spring 2 15 is compressed, the pressure roller 17 pushes the pushing part 18, and then the slide rod 21 and the fastening part 19 move. The fastening part 19 disengages from the fastening groove 30, and the fixing shaft 23 rebounds under the action of the spring 4 28, thus releasing the fixed state of socket 1 and socket 2. The protective cylinder 7 is only provided with pressing holes for contact operation. In the connected state, the protective cylinder 7 plays a protective role to prevent accidental contact.

[0035] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it.
