[0030] Specifically, pushing the push rod 11 can control the up and down movement of the third U-shaped block 10 and the Y-shaped plate 8. The movement of the Y-shaped plate 8 can drive the second rotating rod 5 to rotate by means of the first U-shaped block 7. At the same time, the second U-shaped block 9 can also drive the first rotating rod 3 to rotate. Rotating the first rotating rod 3 and the second rotating rod 5 can move the upper plug 6 and the lower plug 4 at the same time, realizing the simultaneous retraction and extension of multiple plugs.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the combination mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 201, the mounting plate 201 is arranged on the outside of the plug housing 1, a plurality of insertion slots 202 are opened on the right side of the outer wall of the mounting plate 201, a movable plate 204 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting plate 201, first hinges 203 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the movable plate 204, and the movable plate 204 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 201 through the first hinges 203. A plurality of insertion blocks 205 are fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the mounting plate 201, and the insertion blocks 205 are engaged with the insertion slots 202;

[0032] Specifically, the movable plate 204 of the first hinge 203 can be used to conveniently fix and disassemble the mounting plate 201 and the plug housing 1 without disturbing the normal use of the plug. Subsequently, by engaging the insertion slot 202 with the insertion block 205, multiple plugs can be assembled, thereby saving transportation space and enhancing the protection ability of the plug.
