[0002] In modern society, electricity has become an indispensable energy source for people's daily life and work. As a key device for power transmission and distribution, sockets are widely used in various places. Sockets with surge protection function usually have functions such as overload protection and short circuit protection. When transient overvoltages caused by lightning, switching operations, or the start-up and shutdown of large equipment occur in the circuit, the surge protection device will limit the overvoltage to a safe range and prevent the equipment from being damaged by overvoltage.

[0003] Traditional surge-protected sockets typically lack effective waterproofing measures. When exposed to humid environments or splashed with water, moisture can easily enter the socket, leading to safety hazards such as short circuits and electrical leakage. Furthermore, they lack lead-in and securing mechanisms, making it difficult to secure the wires and causing the plug to loosen. Existing waterproof covers lack a mechanism to ensure stable closure, meaning they may open naturally or easily over time. To address these shortcomings, this invention provides a surge-protected adapter socket to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
