The two grounding plates 3' are respectively fixed to the shell 10', and both grounding plates 3' are partially accommodated in the slot 1'. The slot 1' is used for plugging in the plug of the electrical device, and the two grounding plates 3' are used to connect to the grounding plate of the plug.

[0026] For European standard sockets, the basic structure is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the European standard socket is provided with a slot 1' and a plug hole 2'. The plug hole 2' is connected to the bottom of the slot 1'. The slot 1' is used to insert the plug of the electrical device, and the plug hole 2' is used to insert the pin on the plug, thereby forming an electrical connection between the pin and the power supply terminal inside the socket. Two grounding plates 3' are arranged opposite each other on the side wall of the slot 1'. The plug of the electrical device is formed with a through groove that matches the two grounding plates 3'. The grounding plate of the electrical device is located in the through groove. When the plug is inserted into the slot 1', the two grounding plates 3' in the slot 1' respectively abut the two grounding plates on the plug to achieve grounding of the electrical device and ensure the safe use of the electrical device.

[0027] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 The adapter socket 100 includes a first housing 1, a grounding assembly 2, a second housing 3, a circuit board 4, and a plug 5. The grounding assembly 2 is fixed to the first housing 1, the second housing 3 is connected to the first housing 1, and the circuit board 4 is disposed between the first and second housings 1 and 3. The plug 5 is disposed in the first housing 1. One end of the plug 5 is electrically connected to the circuit board 4, and the other end protrudes from the surface of the first housing 1 facing away from the second housing 3. The plug 5 is used to be plugged into a power socket to obtain electrical energy from the power socket.

[0028] For the first housing 1 mentioned above, please refer to Figure 4 The first housing 1 includes a cover 11 and a plug-in portion 12. The plug-in portion 12 is generally cylindrical in shape and is intended to be plugged into a socket in a power outlet. One end of the plug-in portion 12 is connected to the cover 11, and the second housing 3 is connected to the end of the cover 11 facing away from the plug-in portion 12.

The sidewall of the plug-in portion 12 refers to the wall surface directly connecting the plug-in portion 12 and the cover body 11.

[0030] For the grounding component 2 above, see Figure 2 and Figure 4The grounding assembly 2 includes a first grounding portion 21, a second grounding portion 22, and a connecting portion 24.

When the adapter socket 100 is plugged into the power socket, the two grounding plates in the power socket can enter the first through-groove 122 and the second through-groove 123, respectively, thereby contacting the first grounding portion 21 in the first through-groove 122 and the second grounding portion 22 in the second through-groove 123, thereby achieving grounding of the adapter socket 100.

[0031] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The plug-in portion 12 is provided with a snap 124, and the grounding assembly 2 further includes a snap portion 23. The snap portion 23 engages with the snap 124 to secure the grounding assembly 2 to the first housing 1. In this embodiment, the snap engagement between the snap 124 and the snap portion 23 achieves securement between the grounding assembly 2 and the first housing 1. Compared to the prior art method of separately securing two grounding plates to the housing, the present invention simplifies and facilitates assembly of the grounding assembly 2, thereby improving the efficiency of assembling the grounding assembly 2 and, in turn, the production efficiency of the adapter socket 100.

[0032] Furthermore, the first grounding portion 21, the second grounding portion 22, the connecting portion 24 and the clamping portion 23 are integrally formed.
