[0045] In use, each desk is equipped with a first wire connector assembly 2a, a second wire connector assembly 2b, and a main socket mechanism on its left and right sides, respectively. The main socket mechanism provides power to the user, and its two ends are electrically connected to the first wire connector assembly 2a and the second wire connector assembly 2b on the same desk. One desk draws power from the power source via a power cord. Adjacent desks are connected and powered by plugging in the first wire connector assembly 2a and the second wire connector assembly 2b. In this way, only one desk needs to draw power from the power source to meet the power needs of all desks.
[0046] The insertion process of this utility model:
[0047] At the beginning, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first wire connector assembly 2a is in its initial state. At this time, the first connector body 201 extends rearward from the outer casing 200, and the third latch 2012 engages with the slot 2000. The first connector body 201 is limited on the outer casing 200 by the latch. Then, the second wire connector assembly 2b is inserted into the first wire connector assembly 2a. The first plug part 2010 engages with the second plug part 2050. The pressing member 2052 pushes the third latch 2012 forward, causing the third latch 2012 to deform and move forward, disengaging from the slot 2000. The first connector body 201 is unlocked from the outer casing 200. Then, under the action of the spring, the outer casing 200 moves rearward relative to the first connector body 201 (the first connector body 201 is fixed on the desk). The second wire connector assembly 2b is fully inserted, reaching the position shown in the image. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the state shown, the first buckle 2011 and the second buckle 2051 are engaged, and the outer shell 200 covers the outside of the second buckle 2051, preventing the second buckle 2051 from deforming. In this state, the second wire connector assembly 2b and the first wire connector assembly 2a are locked together. When the desk is collided, the spring can absorb the impact and prevent the second wire connector assembly 2b and the first wire connector assembly 2a from becoming loose.
[0048] The separation process of this utility model:
[0049] Move the outer casing 200 forward until the third latch 2012 engages with the slot 2000 again. At this point, the outer casing 200 is no longer in contact with the second latch 2051, and the outer side of the second latch 2051 is not limited. Then move the second wire connector assembly 2b backward. The second latch 2051 separates from the first latch 2011 by deformation, thereby pulling the second wire connector assembly 2b out of the first wire connector assembly 2a.
[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
