The second safety door 320 is provided with two second guide surfaces 321, the two second guide surfaces 321 are inclined in a perpendicular direction to each other, the two second guide surfaces 321 block the three-hole jack 520, the plug is inserted, the plug and the second guide surface 321 slide relative to each other, the second safety door 320 moves to the left, the three-hole jack 520 is exposed, and the plug is inserted into the insertion position 540 formed at one end of the conductive sheet 530.

[0041] Specifically, as the plug is inserted, the first guide surface 311 and the second guide surface 321 can drive the first safety door 310 or the second safety door 320 to move under the action of force. It can be understood that the first guide surface 311 or the second guide surface 321 has different inclination directions and different movement directions.

[0042] In another embodiment of the present invention, according to Figure 1-3 As shown, auxiliary support portions 360 are disposed beside the first guide surface 311 and the second guide surface 321 .

[0043] Specifically, the auxiliary support portion 360 can prevent the plug from being inserted crookedly, and provide an auxiliary guiding function for the plug.

[0044] In another embodiment of the present invention, according to Figure 1-3 As shown, the reset device 400 includes a reset spring 410 and two oppositely arranged positioning components 420; the reset spring 410 is arranged between the two positioning components 420, the first safety door 310 is provided with a first reset connection portion 312, the first reset connection portion 312 is arranged between the two positioning components 420 and penetrates one end of the reset spring 410; the second safety door 320 is provided with a second reset connection portion 322, the second reset connection portion 322 is arranged between the two positioning components 420 and penetrates the other end of the reset spring 410. Each positioning component 420 includes a first positioning plate 421 and a second positioning plate 422 arranged vertically; the first positioning plate 421 with a large contact surface is arranged close to the reset spring 410.

[0045] Specifically, after the plug is pulled out, the first safety door 310 and the second safety door 320 are reset and re-block the socket hole under the drive of the reset spring 410.

[0046] Furthermore, the first safety door 310 and the second safety door 320 share a reset device 400, which has a smaller size and a simpler structure.

[0047] Furthermore, the first positioning plate 421 with a large contact surface is disposed close to the reset spring 410 , which can increase the contact area between the first reset connection portion 312 and the second reset connection portion 322 and the first positioning plate 421 , making it more stable and less likely to fall off.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present invention, according to Figure 3 and 4 As shown, one end of each conductive sheet 530 forms an insertion position 540 for inserting a plug, and the other end is provided with a U-shaped pin 550, which is used for riveting a power supply. Specifically, when the three exposed U-shaped pins 550 are riveted to the power supply, the riveting is completed in one time, which is simple and quick.

[0049] In another embodiment of the utility model, Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of U-shaped pins 550 extend out of the housing 100 and are arranged on the side of the back of the housing 100. Specifically, they are arranged on the side of the back of the housing 100, which is different from the prior art in which they are arranged in the middle of the back of the housing 100, so that they are easy to seal when doing secondary encapsulation.

[0050] In another embodiment of the utility model, Figure 3 and 4As shown, each conductive sheet 530 is integrally formed with the corresponding U-shaped pin 550. Specifically, the integral stamping does not require any welding, thus reducing the manufacturing cost and the use of materials while achieving good large-area contact performance and reliability, and at the same time reducing the problems of fracture, short circuit, looseness or non-vibration resistance caused by welding, and indirectly improving the production efficiency and the stability of the overall structure.

[0051] The rest of this embodiment is the same as the first embodiment. The features not explained in this embodiment are all based on the explanations in the first embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] The above content is a further detailed description of the utility model in combination with specific preferred implementation methods, and it cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the utility model is limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the utility model belongs, without departing from the concept of the utility model, its architecture can be flexible and can derive a series of products. Just making a few simple deductions or substitutions should be regarded as belonging to the patent protection scope of the utility model determined by the submitted claims.
