[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a multi-country converter, including a socket 1, a plug 2, and a locking assembly. One side surface of the socket 1 has a receiving groove 11. The plug 2 is slidably fitted into the receiving groove 11 along a first direction. The socket 1 also has a limiting structure to prevent the plug 2 from disengaging from the receiving groove 11 along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The locking assembly includes a first connecting component 3 and a second connecting component 4 respectively disposed on the plug 2 and the socket 1. The first connecting component 3 and the second connecting component 4 are detachably connected. When the first connecting component 3 and the second connecting component 4 are connected, the locking assembly locks the plug 2 within the receiving groove 11. When the first connecting component 3 and the second connecting component 4 are separated, the plug 2 can slide along the first direction to disengage from the receiving groove 11.

[0038] The plug 2 is locked in the receiving groove 11 of the socket 1 by the first connecting component 3 and the second connecting component 4, so as to achieve mutual fixation between the plug 2 and the socket 1; moreover, the limiting structure prevents the plug 2 from leaving the receiving groove 11 in the second direction, thereby improving the connection stability and firmness between the plug 2 and the socket 1 and avoiding the phenomenon that the plug 2 is prone to loosening in the receiving groove 11.

[0039] It should be noted that the first direction can be parallel to the surface of the socket 1 with the receiving groove 11, and the second direction can be perpendicular to the surface of the socket 1 with the receiving groove 11.
