The first cutting lines C1 are parallel to the first direction N1, and the second cutting lines C2 are parallel to the second direction N2, but this is not limited to the embodiment. Specifically, the first plate 111 is cut by the first cutting lines C1 and the second cutting lines C2. The first cutting lines C1 and the second cutting lines C2 intersect to form a cross-shaped through hole, so that the insertion portion 21 can completely pass through the first plate 111.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the number of first cutting lines C1 is less than the number of second cutting lines C2, and the length of the first cutting lines C1 is greater than the length of the second cutting lines C2, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first cutting lines C1 are arranged in M ​​rows in the second direction N2, and the second cutting lines C2 are arranged in N rows in the first direction N1. M is equal to 2, and N is equal to 6, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 5A In one embodiment, the first cutting lines C1' of the first plate 111B are arranged in three rows in the second direction N2, and the second cutting lines C2' are arranged in six rows in the first direction N1 for insertion of the inserting portion 21B, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0048] It should be noted that Figure 5A The insertion position of the insertion portion 21B is only schematically shown for the sake of illustration. In one embodiment, the first plate 111B can be used with different power cord plugs, such as Figure 5B The insertion portion 21C shown or Figure 5CThe insertion portion 21D is shown, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Through the universal slot design, the first plate of the first part can adapt to the shape and size of power cord metal plugs of various countries, which is very convenient.

[0049] With the above configuration, the protection structure 100 can be compatible with the sizes of power cord plugs of various countries on the market, eliminating the need for separate development and saving redundant materials.

[0050] In this embodiment, the protective structure 100 further includes a connecting portion 130 connected between the first portion 110 and the second portion 120. A third fold line L3 is defined at the connection between the connecting portion 130 and the first portion 110, and a fourth fold line L4 is defined at the connection between the connecting portion 130 and the second portion 120, adapted to bend relative to the first portion 110 and the second portion 120. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 130 is a rectangular plate, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the third fold line L3 and the fourth fold line L4 are parallel to the first direction N1, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0051] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the first fold line portion L1, the second fold line portion L2, the third fold line portion L3 and the fourth fold line portion L4 are designed on the upper and lower surfaces of the protective structure 100. Users can fold them according to the length of different power cord plugs to meet different sizes. This case does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first portion 110, the connecting portion 130, and the second portion 120 are integrally formed. The protective structure 100 is made from, but not limited to, a single sheet of corrugated paper. This reduces the use of plastic, contributing to environmental friendliness. The foldable design also makes the protective structure 100 easy to manufacture and use.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 The steps of applying the protection structure 100 of this embodiment to the power cord plug 20 are as follows. Figure 1 In the unfolded state shown, the power cord plug 20 is inserted into the one of the first plate 111 farthest from the second portion 120, and the insertion portion 21 passes through the slot portion 111a of the first plate 111, and the power cord plug 20 is fixed to one side of the first plate 111, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 shown.

[0054] Next, fold the first portion 110 forward and backward to adjust the length according to the size of the insertion portion 21, and insert the first plate 111 into the insertion portion 21 in sequence until the first portion 110 completely covers the periphery of the insertion portion 21. Figure 7 shown.

[0055] In one embodiment, the first portion 110 has a first side A1 and a second side A2 that are opposite each other. The first side A1 and the second side A2 are parallel to the first direction N1. In the folded state, the connecting portion 130 is connected to the second side A2. The first side A1 is closer to the end 123 of the second portion 120 than the second side A2. Here, the number of first plates 111 is an odd number, such as five, but the present invention is not limited to this. Thus, in the folded state, the first side A1 and the second side A2 face opposite directions, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0056] Next, the second portion 120 is folded back, for example, into a U-shape, so that the first sheet 121 and the second sheet 122 clamp the two sides of the thread end protection section 22, and the thread end protection section 22 is located in the notch between the first sheet 121 and the second sheet 122, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 Next, please refer to Figure 4 The end 123 of the second part 120 is buckled and fixed on the wire head protection section 22, so that the first part 110 is fixed on the wire head protection section 22 to prevent the first part 110 from falling off, achieving effective fixation and self-snap fixation without the need for adhesive stickers or additional parts.

[0057] In summary, in the protective structure of the present case, one of the two adjacent first plates can be folded over by the corresponding first fold line portion and overlapped on the other of the two adjacent first plates, thereby forming a folded state. When the first part is in the folded state, the slot portions are aligned with each other, and the insertion portion of the power cord plug can be inserted into the slot portion of each first plate, so that the first part covers the insertion portion. In this way, the first part can serve as a buffer material to protect the insertion portion of the power cord plug and achieve effective covering to prevent it from damaging other accessories or packaging materials during transportation and storage. In addition, the protective structure can be completely flattened when not in use or after use, reducing transportation space and lowering the carbon footprint.
