[0029] Please refer to Figures 2-6In an embodiment, the blocking mechanism 44 comprises a support seat 441 fixedly arranged at the center of the bottom inner wall of the protective box 41, the top of the support seat 441 is hingedly connected with a connecting box 442, the center of the two sides of the connecting box 442 is provided with a connecting cavity 443, one end of the inner side of the connecting cavity 443 is fixedly connected with a first reset spring 444, one end of the first reset spring 444 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 445, one end of the connecting rod 445 is fixedly connected with a lower inclined block 446, the lower inclined block 446 is located at the bottom of the upper inclined block 431, the upper inclined block 431 is in sliding fit with the lower inclined block 446 when they are in contact, and the lower inclined block 446 under the pressure of the upper inclined block 431 will move close to the connecting box 442.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 2-6 In an embodiment, the bottom surface of the support seat 441 is fixedly connected with a second reset spring 447 on both sides, the two second reset springs 447 are arranged left and right with the support seat 441 as the center, the bottom of the second reset spring 447 is fixedly connected with the bottom of the inner side of the protective box 41, the connecting rod 445 is parallel to the connecting box 442, the outer wall of the connecting rod 445 is in sliding connection with the inner wall of the connecting cavity 443, the lower inclined block 446 is located at one side of the bottom of the upper inclined block 431, there is a gap between the upper surface of the lower inclined block 446 and the lower surface of the upper inclined block 431, the corner area of the bottom of the lower inclined block 446 is fixedly connected with an insulating block 448, the lower surface of the insulating block 448 is of arc structure, there is a gap between the insulating block 448 and the metal contact block 45, force imbalance will cause the insulating block 448 to tilt, the insulating block 448 provides support for the lower inclined block 446, thereby quickly preventing the connecting mechanism 43 from moving downward, and improving safety.

[0031] Workflow: when installing, first open the shell cover 2 on the top of the shell 1, then through the cooperation of the bolt and nut group, the waterproof intelligent socket is fixed in the reserved slot of the wall through the fixing seat 5 of the four corner areas, the connecting end of the metal contact block 45 extends to the outside of the protection box 41, the reserved slot is electrically connected with the neutral line and the live wire respectively, and the shell cover 2 is tightly covered after installation. Two jack 3 are opened on the surface of shell cover 2, which correspond to the position of two upper inclined block 431 respectively. When using, the plug of the electrical appliance is inserted into the jack 3, the metal end of the plug is inserted into the inside of the upper inclined block 431 at the bottom through the jack 3, and the pressure is applied downward. Because the supporting seat 441 is located at the center of the connecting box 442, the connecting box 442 is in horizontal state in natural state, and the second reset spring 447 on the lower surface of the connecting box 442 provides support for the connecting box 442. Because the two metal ends of the plug simultaneously press the connecting seat 433, the connecting seat 433 drives the upper inclined block 431 at the bottom to move synchronously, and the slide 434 provides guidance for the movement of the upper inclined block 431. Because the lower surface of the two upper inclined blocks 431 is in contact with the lower inclined block 446 at the bottom at the same time, the two lower inclined blocks 446 are balanced in force. The lower inclined block 446 under the pressure of the upper inclined block 431 moves close to the connecting box 442. The connecting rod 445 is connected with the connecting cavity 443, which improves the stability of the movement of the lower inclined block 446. With the contraction of the connecting rod 445 of the lower inclined block 446, the upper inclined block 431 is in contact with the metal contact block 45, forming a closed loop to supply power to the electrical appliance. The storage groove 46 provides storage space at the bottom of the upper inclined block 431, which improves the stability of the contact between the connecting mechanism 43 and the metal contact block 45. When the socket is pulled out, the elastic force of the first reset spring 444 can make the lower inclined block 446 automatically reset, and the elastic force of the second reset spring 447 on both sides can make the connecting box 442 keep balance.

[0032] When only one connecting seat 433 is inserted, the upper inclined block 431 can only push the lower inclined block 446 to move a part of the distance. Because the lower inclined block 446 of the other upper inclined block 431 is not pushed, the connecting box 442 will tilt to the side under stress quickly, so that the lower inclined block 446 will rotate. In this process, one corner area at the top of the lower inclined block 446 will automatically embed into the limiting groove 432 at the bottom of the upper inclined block 431, forming a locking state, and the insulating block 448 also provides support for the lower inclined block 446, so as to quickly prevent the connecting mechanism 43 from moving downward.

[0033] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the utility model, the description is more specific and detailed, but can not therefore be understood as the limitation of the utility model patent range. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled person in the art, without departing from the concept of the utility model, several modifications and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection range of the utility model. Therefore, the protection range of the utility model patent should be subject to the appended claims.
