[0040] Example 1

[0041] A five-hole power strip module includes a front shell 1 and a rear cover 2 that are interference-fitted from front to back, and a connector 3 built between the front shell 1 and the rear cover 2. The connector 3 includes a connecting plate 31 mounted on the rear cover 2, an upper protective unit 32 mounted on the connecting plate 31, and a lower protective unit 33 mounted on the connecting plate 31.

[0042] In this application, by setting the upper protection unit 32 and the lower protection unit 33 together, the socket can be isolated and protected, which solves the problem of low electrical safety of the original five-hole socket and improves the electrical safety of the five-hole power strip module.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connecting plate 31 includes a base plate 311 and a side frame 312 integrally formed with the base plate 311.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, an insertion slot 310 is provided at the edge of the end face of the base plate 311 to match and insert with the protruding connecting post 21 on the rear cover 2;

[0045] The middle part of the base plate 311 is provided with a straight hole 100 and an oblique hole 200. There are three sets of straight holes 100 arranged horizontally side by side, and the oblique hole 200 is located below the straight hole 100.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the side frame 312 has movable waist grooves 300 at both the upper and lower ends, and the inlets of the two movable waist grooves 300 are arranged in opposite directions.

[0047] In detail, during installation, the first movable frame 321 is inserted and moved into the movable waist groove 300 through the inlet. Then, during installation, the second movable frame 331 is inserted and moved into the other movable waist groove 300 through another inlet. Then, the spring 34 is fitted into the first positioning post 323 and the second positioning post 333, thereby completing the installation of the connecting plate 31.

[0048] Installation steps:

[0049] The mounting block 43 of the copper component unit 4 is passed through the through hole opened on the rear cover 2 to complete the installation of the connector 3. Then, the insertion port 310 of the connecting plate 31 is matched and connected with the connecting post 21 to complete the installation of the connector 3 and the rear cover 2. Finally, the front shell 1 is inserted into the rear cover 2 to complete the final module production.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-6 As shown, the upper protective unit 32 includes a first movable frame 321 with a frame structure, a first guide post 322 fixedly connected to the first movable frame 321 and slidably disposed in the movable waist groove 300, and a first positioning post 323 disposed on the other side of the first movable frame 321 relative to the first guide post 322 and abutting against the side frame 312.

[0051] The first movable frame 321 is provided with a first inclined platform 324 on both sides, and the two sets of first inclined platforms 324 are respectively located at the front end of the straight hole 100 on both sides.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the lower protective unit 33 includes a second movable frame 331 with a frame structure, a second guide post 332 fixedly connected to the second movable frame 331 and slidably disposed in another movable waist groove 300, and a second positioning post 333 disposed on the other side of the second movable frame 331 relative to the second guide post 332 and abutting against the side frame 312.

[0053] The second movable frame 331 is provided with a second inclined platform 334 on both sides, and the two sets of second inclined platforms 334 are respectively located at the front end of the inclined holes 200 on both sides.

[0054] The inclined plane direction of the first inclined platform 324 is set opposite to the inclined plane direction of the second inclined platform 334;

[0055] The first positioning post 323 and the second positioning post 333 are positioned opposite each other and a spring 34 is provided between the first positioning post 323 and the second positioning post 333.

[0056] Usage steps:

[0057] The pins are inserted through the front housing 1 and act on the first inclined platform 324 of the first moving frame 321 and the second inclined platform 334 of the second moving frame 331 respectively, thereby moving the first moving frame 321 and the second moving frame 331, so that the straight hole 100 and the inclined hole 200 are exposed outward. Then the pins act on the first copper component module 41 and the second copper component module 42 through the straight hole 100 and the inclined hole 200.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the first moving frame 321 and the second moving frame 331 are arranged in a diamond shape on the side facing the moving waist groove 300. The inclined part of the first moving frame 321 and the second moving frame 331 is spaced apart from the bottom plate 311, and the bottom plate 311 is provided with a limit block 35.

[0059] The limiting block 35 is provided at the rear end of both the first inclined platform 324 and the second inclined platform 334.

[0060] In this application, the first moving frame 321 and the second moving frame 331 adopt a diamond structure. When a single pole is inserted, such as by error such as a key, the first moving frame 321 or the second moving frame 331 rotates using a rocker structure. During rotation, the first moving frame 321 or the second moving frame 331 is limited by the limiting block 35, so that the first moving frame 321 or the second moving frame 331 no longer rotates, thereby forming a shield to prevent electric shock.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] Components that are the same as or corresponding to those in Embodiment 1 are referred to using the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1. For simplicity, only the differences from Embodiment 1 are described below. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 8-9 As shown, it also includes a copper component unit 4 located between the rear cover 2 and the connecting plate 31. The copper component unit 4 includes a first copper component module 41 arranged symmetrically on the left and right and a second copper component module 42 located between the two first copper component modules 41.

[0064] Both the first copper component module 41 and the second copper component module 42 have a mounting block 43 at their rear ends that is matched and plugged into the through hole on the rear cover 2.

[0065] Furthermore, the three sets of mounting blocks 43 are staggered along the height direction.

[0066] The three sets of mounting blocks 43 are staggered along the height direction, which makes the overall installation more secure.

[0067] Furthermore, the upper end of the first copper component module 41 is positioned opposite to the straight hole 100 and its lower end is positioned opposite to the oblique hole 200;

[0068] The second copper component module 42 is positioned opposite to the straight hole 100 located in the middle.

[0069] In this embodiment, by setting the first copper component module 41 and the second copper component module 42, the symmetrical structure is used for vertical positioning during five-hole installation, resulting in a firm and stable overall installation.

[0070] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
