[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 2 One embodiment of this utility model is a switchable plug, including a connector 1 and a wire 2 connected to the connector 1. A fixed insert 3 and a movable insert 4 located on one side of the fixed insert 3 are provided on the connector 1.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 A positioning component 5 is also provided on the connector 1, and a storage groove 11 is provided on the end of the connector 1 away from the wire 2.

[0026] Please see Figures 4 to 5The opening of the storage slot 11 is located at the end of the connector 1 away from the wire 2. An extension slot 12 is provided inside the connector 1. The positioning component 5 includes a movable block 51, with its two ends respectively located in the storage slot 11 and the extension slot 12. A restraint slot 52 is provided at the end of the movable block 51 located in the storage slot 11, and a limit spring 53 and an operating block 54 are connected at the end of the movable block 51 located in the extension slot 12. Two limit springs 53 are provided, symmetrically positioned at both ends of the operating block 54. The ends of the two limit springs 53 away from the movable block 51 are both connected to… The connector 1 is fixedly connected, and the operating block 54 slides through the connector 1. The end of the operating block 54 away from the movable block 51 slides out of the connector 1, so that the operator can manually move the operating block 54 and drive the movable block 51 to move. The movable block 51 is provided with an inclined surface 55. The inclined surface 55 is inclined, and the angle of the inclined surface 55 is between 45° and 80°. The binding groove 52 and the inclined surface 55 are both provided in the storage groove 11, and the binding groove 52 is located below the inclined surface 55. A pad 56 is provided at the end of the movable block 51 where the binding groove 52 is located. The pad 56 is made of soft material. In this embodiment, the pad 56 is made of rubber.

[0027] Please see Figure 6 One end of the movable insert 4 extends into the storage slot 11, and the end of the movable insert 4 located in the storage slot 11 is connected to the connector 1 through the torsion spring 6.

[0028] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 When this utility model is in use, if the movable insert 4 is not used, the movable insert 4 can be rotated 90° along the torsion spring 6 and stored in the storage groove 11. During this storage process, when the movable insert 4 contacts the inclined surface 55, it will exert a squeezing force on the movable block 51, causing the movable block 51 to gradually retract into the extension groove 12, thereby compressing the two limiting springs 53. The operating block 54 will also gradually extend from the connector 1 to the outside. After the movable insert 4 passes the movable block 51, the movable block 51 will return under the action of the two limiting springs 53. Returning to its original position, the movable insert 4 will just pass over the pad 56 and fit into the restraint groove 52, and the restraint groove 52 will hold the movable insert 4 in place, preventing it from popping out of the storage groove 11. When it is necessary to remove the movable insert 4, the operator can use their fingers to hold the end of the operating block 54 away from the movable block 51 (located on the outside of the connector 1) and pull the movable block 51, causing the pad 56 to move. The movable insert 4 will then disengage from the restraint groove 52 and automatically return to its original position under the action of the torsion spring 6.
