Through the socket 100, in the receiving cavity 10s of the shell 10 of the socket 100, the main body part 203 of the PE terminal 20 is protected by the insulation protection piece 50, and the insulation protection piece 50, the first receiving groove 701, the second receiving groove 702 and the third receiving groove 703 isolate the main body part 203 of the PE terminal 20 from the N terminal 30 or the L terminal 40; therefore, when water accidentally enters the shell 10 (the receiving cavity 10s) of the socket 100, the main body part 203 of the PE terminal 20 and the N terminal 30 that are isolated will not be short-circuited, and the main body part 203 of the PE terminal 20 and the L terminal 40 that are isolated will not be short-circuited, thereby improving the safety of the user using the socket 100.

[0027] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the second protection end 502 protrudes from the shell 10, and through this arrangement, the risk of the second PE end 202 of the PE terminal 20 and the part of the N terminal 30 or the part of the L terminal 40 extending out of the shell 10 being short-circuited by water is reduced, that is, the risk of the PE terminal 20 and the N terminal 30 or the L terminal 40 being short-circuited by water outside the shell 10 is reduced.

[0028] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the shell 10 comprises a shell 101 provided with the accommodation cavity 10s and an opening 10h communicating with the accommodation cavity 10s, and a cover plate 102 covering the opening 10h; the first protection end 501 of the insulation protection piece 50 penetrates the shell 101 from the accommodation cavity 10s, the second protection end 502 of the insulation protection piece 50 penetrates the cover plate 102 from the accommodation cavity 10s; the N terminal 30 and the L terminal 40 both extend out of the cover plate 102 from the accommodation cavity 10s.

[0029] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the cover plate 102 is provided with a glue groove 1021 and a potting glue 60 injected into the glue groove 1021, and the second protection end 502, the N terminal 30 and the L terminal 40 all extend out of the glue groove 1021 on the cover plate 102; the potting glue 60 is arranged around the part of the second protection end 502, the N terminal 30 and the L terminal 40 extending out of the glue groove 1021, respectively. Through the arrangement of the potting glue 60, on the one hand, the part of the second protection end 502, the N terminal 30 and the L terminal 40 extending out of the groove bottom of the glue groove 1021 can be fixed, and on the other hand, the potting glue 60 can waterproof the second protection end 502, the N terminal 30 and the L terminal 40, respectively, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit caused by water connecting the second PE end 202 of the PE terminal 20 extending from the second protection end 502 and the N terminal 30 or the L terminal 40.

[0030] It is worth noting that the first mounting groove 701, the second mounting groove 702 and the third mounting groove 703 can be reasonably arranged according to actual needs. For example, in some embodiments, the third mounting groove 703 spans one side of the bracket 70 facing the cover plate 102, and the two ends of the third mounting groove 703 respectively extend from one side of the bracket 70 facing the cover plate 102 to one side of the bracket 70 away from the cover plate 102, and the first mounting groove 701 and the second mounting groove 702 are symmetrically distributed on the two sides of the third mounting groove 703.

[0031] It can be understood that, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the insulation protection piece 50 is adapted to the shape of the third mounting groove 703, and the number of the first protection end 501 of the insulation protection piece 50 is two, and the number of the first PE end 201 of the PE terminal 20 extending from the first protection end 501 is two.

[0032] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 andFigure 5 The bottom of the first mounting groove 701 is provided with a first connecting hole 701h for exposing the N terminal 30, the shell 101 is provided with a first through hole 11h corresponding to the first connecting hole 701h, and the first through hole 11h and the first connecting hole 701h are used for electrically connecting the N terminal 30 with an external first pin; the bottom of the second mounting groove 702 is provided with a second connecting hole 702h for exposing the L terminal 40, the shell 101 is provided with a second through hole 12h corresponding to the second connecting hole 702h, and the second through hole 12h and the second connecting hole 702h are used for electrically connecting the L terminal 40 with an external second pin. Through the above arrangement, a mode of electrically connecting the N terminal 30 with an external first pin and electrically connecting the L terminal 40 with an external second pin is provided.

[0033] It is worth noting that, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the bracket 70 is provided with a sliding groove 704, the sliding groove 704 is arranged on the side of the bracket 70 away from the cover plate 102, and the socket 100 further includes a sliding block 80 and an elastic member 90 both arranged in the sliding groove 704; one end of the elastic member 90 abuts against the groove wall of the sliding groove 704, and the other end of the elastic member 90 abuts against the sliding block 80; the sliding block 80 is provided with a first sliding channel 801 facing the first through hole 11h and a second sliding channel 802 facing the second through hole 12h; when the external first pin abuts against the first sliding channel 801 and the external second pin abuts against the second sliding channel 802, the external first pin and the external second pin push the sliding block 80 to move to compress the elastic member 90, so as to expose the first connecting hole 701h and the second connecting hole 702h, so as to electrically connect the N terminal 30 with the external first pin and electrically connect the L terminal 40 with the external second pin. Through the above arrangement, another mode of electrically connecting the N terminal 30 with an external first pin and electrically connecting the L terminal 40 with an external second pin is provided.

[0034] It is worth noting that, in some embodiments, the elastic member 90 is a spring.

[0035] It is worth noting that, in some embodiments, the number of the elastic members 90 is two, one of the elastic members 90 is arranged between the first sliding channel 801 and the groove wall of the sliding groove 704, and the other of the elastic members 90 is arranged between the second sliding channel 802 and the groove wall of the sliding groove 704.

[0036] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the groove wall of the sliding groove 704 is provided with a limiting piece 7041, and the sliding block 80 is provided with a limiting part 803. When the external single pin abuts against the first sliding groove 801 or the second sliding groove 802, the limiting piece 7041 is used to abut against the limiting part 803 to limit the sliding of the sliding block 80. Through this arrangement, when the external first pin abuts against the first sliding groove 801, and at the same time, the external second pin abuts against the second sliding groove 802, the sliding block 80 slides to expose the first connecting hole 701h and the second connecting hole 702h, so that the external first pin is electrically connected with the N terminal 30 exposed in the first connecting hole 701h, and the external second pin is electrically connected with the L terminal 40 exposed in the second connecting hole 702h. However, as shown in Figure 7 When the external single pin abuts against the first sliding groove 801 or the second sliding groove 802, the sliding block 80 is unbalanced in force, so that the sliding block 80 rotates, and the limiting part 803 of the rotated sliding block 80 is limited by the limiting piece 7041, so that the sliding block 80 cannot continue to slide, and thus the first connecting hole 701h or the second connecting hole 702h cannot be exposed, that is, the external single pin cannot be electrically connected with the N terminal 30 or the L terminal 40, and the risk of electric shock caused by misoperation of the external single pin can be avoided.

[0037] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the number of the limiting piece 7041 is two, and the limiting part 803 is arranged between the two limiting pieces 7041.

[0038] The application also provides an embodiment of an electrical device 1000, as shown in Figure 8 The electrical device 1000 comprises the socket 100. For the specific structure and function of the socket 100, please refer to the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
