[0054] In the initial state, the plastic rack 11 and the pushing block 12 are located in the sliding groove 10. In use, the connector male seat 2 is inserted into the hole groove of the corresponding connector female seat, so that the connector male seat 2 is electrically connected with the connector female seat. At this time, the temperature sensor 8 detects the temperature around the connector female seat and the connector male seat 2, and transmits the detected temperature to the PLC controller 5. The PLC controller 5 sets a certain threshold value for the temperature. When the temperature transmitted by the temperature sensor 8 exceeds a certain threshold value, the PLC controller 5 controls the rotating motor 9 and the warning light 4 to start. The rotating motor 9 drives the rotating rod 15 to rotate, the rotating rod 15 drives the spring 16 to tighten, so that the spring 16 is elastically deformed, and then drives the plastic gear 14 to rotate synchronously. The plastic gear 14 drives the plastic rack 11 to move forward, and then drives the pushing block 12 to move forward.

[0056] Further, in the present scheme, the rotation motor 9 does not have self-locking property, and the rotation output shaft of the rotation motor 9 can rotate after being powered off. When the spring 16 has strong elasticity, it can provide sufficient reset tension to the push block 12 and sufficient support force to the push block 12, so that the push block 12 will not easily slide out of the sliding groove 10 under the action of shaking, gravity and the like in the initial state, thereby ensuring the stability of the push block 12 in the initial state, and also ensuring the practicability and stability of the power cord connector.

[0057] Further, when the PLC controller 5 starts the warning light 4 due to high temperature, the warning light 4 can warn the current dangerous state of the connector female base or the connector male base 2, thereby reminding people to pay attention and prevent, thereby increasing the safety performance and practicability of the power cord connector;
