This position is set as the second-order position, and the locking state of the secondary lock is set as the second-order position locking state. In the second-order position, the socket can rotate 360 degrees relative to the plug.
[0012] Continue to push the secondary lock forward, rotate the fixed hook to the anti-rotation slot and cooperate with it, this position is set to the third-level position, and the locking state of the secondary lock is set to the third-level position locking state. In the third-level position, the socket is oriented at a fixed angle and cannot rotate relative to the plug.
[0013] When the product needs to be unlocked, pull the secondary lock back so that the front end of the secondary lock is at the tail of the primary lock, that is, the anti-exit fixed hook of the secondary lock retreats to the tail of the anti-exit slot and hooks the side wall of the tail of the anti-exit slot. This position is set as the first-order position, and the locking state of the secondary lock is set as the first-order position locking state. In the first-order position, press the end of the secondary lock to lift the integrated lock buckle at the front of the primary lock to unlock the product, and the socket can be separated from the plug. If the secondary lock does not return to the first-order position, then the secondary lock cannot be pressed down to unlock the product, and the plug and socket cannot be separated.
[0014] The primary lock is connected to the plug through the lock unlocking fulcrum, and the lock unlocking fulcrum is located on both sides of the tail of the primary lock. The primary lock is connected to the plug through the lock unlocking fulcrum, and the integrated lock is located at the front of the primary lock.
