[0014] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] The following description is intended to disclose the invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description can be used in other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0016] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this invention, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or position based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are merely simplified descriptions for the convenience of describing this invention and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0017] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0018] Example: Refer to Appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, a household appliance plug with leakage detection function includes a detachably connected lower housing 100 and an upper housing 110. The upper housing 110 and the lower housing 100 are detachably connected by screws. A metal plate 120 is installed on the upper side of the upper housing 110, and a warning light 130 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the metal plate 120. A plug plate 140 is fixedly installed at one end of the lower housing 100. After the upper housing 110 and the lower housing 100 are connected and fixed, the plug plate 140 can be snapped between the middle of the lower housing 100 and the upper housing 110. A bending plate 200 is fixedly installed at one end of the lower housing 100. An insulating sleeve 230 is fixedly installed at the other end of the lower housing 100. A metal wire 220 is installed inside the insulating sleeve 230. The metal wire 220 is connected to a splicing plate 210 fixedly installed inside the lower housing 100.

[0019] Specifically, in this application, when the plug is in normal use without leakage, the corresponding plug plate 140 and the bending plate 200 maintain a stable overlap, and the corresponding metal wire 220 maintains a stable contact with the overlap plate 210. A movable plate 400 is provided between the middle of the overlap plate 210 and the bending plate 200. A connecting wire 430 is provided on the movable plate 400. One end of the connecting wire 430 maintains contact with the overlap plate 210, and the other end of the connecting wire 430 maintains an overlap with the outer wall of the bending plate 200. At this time, the plug plate 140 maintains a stable electrical connection with the metal wire 220.

[0020] Furthermore, the lower housing 100 includes an installation groove 101 formed inside the lower housing 100. The inner end of the plug-in plate 140 is positioned inside the installation groove 101, and the end of the plug-in plate 140 overlaps with the bent plate 200. A limiting block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower housing 100. The limiting block has a circular hole 102. A circular rod is fixedly installed on the upper housing 110, and the circular rod slides into the circular hole 102. Through grooves are formed on the outer walls of both sides of the limiting block, and the outlet of the through groove is located on one side of the plug-in plate 140. Correspondingly, the limiting block, which is set in the installation groove 101, can fix the position of the plug-in plate 140, and can further tighten the position of the plug-in plate 140 and the bent plate 200, ensuring the stability of the connection between the plug-in plate 140 and the bent plate 200.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes current detection terminals 300 disposed inside the lower housing 100. The current detection terminals 300 are respectively disposed on both sides of the mounting groove 101. The inner wall of the current detection terminals 300 is located outside the overlapping plate 210 and the bending plate 200. An arc-shaped plate 310 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the current detection terminal 300, and the upper outer wall of the arc-shaped plate 310 overlaps with the lower outer wall of the metal plate 120. Specifically, when the plug leaks current, a potential difference will appear between the two current detection terminals 300 disposed within the mounting groove 101. The current detection terminals 300 are respectively located outside the bending plate 200 and the overlapping plate 210, and are disposed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 101. This will generate current.

[0022] Furthermore, an arc-shaped plate 310 is fixedly installed on the corresponding current detection terminal 300. The upper end of the arc-shaped plate 310 overlaps with the lower outer side of the metal plate 120. When there is a potential difference between the two current detection terminals 300, a current will be generated on the metal plate 120. When current flows through the metal plate 120, the warning light 130 connected to the metal plate 120 will be in a powered-on state, thereby reminding the user to avoid the electrical danger caused by the user directly contacting the plug.

[0023] Furthermore, to improve safety when there is a leakage in the plug, the plug can be disconnected. Specifically, a movable component is provided between the middle of the overlapping plate 210 and the bending plate 200. The movable component includes a movable plate 400 movably connected in the mounting groove 101. A sleeve 410 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the movable plate 400. A connecting wire 430 is sleeved inside the sleeve 410. One end of the connecting wire 430 overlaps with the outer wall of the bending plate 200, and the other end of the connecting wire 430 overlaps with the outer wall of the overlapping plate 210. The two movable plates 400 are elastically connected between their middle parts by an electric spring 420. When the plug leaks current, there will be current in the corresponding metal plate 120. At this time, the electric spring 420 set between the two moving plates 400 will be in a energized and contracted state. Correspondingly, the two moving parts will move closer to each other. At this time, the connecting wires 430 sleeved in the sleeve 410 will move closer to each other simultaneously, acting as a switch to disconnect the electrical connection between the bending plate 200 and the overlapping plate 210. At this time, the plug will be in a de-energized state, reducing the risk of use caused by the plug leaking current.

[0024] Furthermore, an overlap groove 201 is provided on the outer wall of the bending plate 200, and a metal ring 202 is provided on the inner wall of the overlap groove 201. When the plug is used normally and does not leak electricity, the corresponding metal ring 202 is electrically connected to the plug plate 140, and the connecting wire 430 is electrically connected to the metal ring 202. At this time, the plug can be used normally. When the plug leaks electricity, the corresponding two moving plates 400 will move closer to each other. At this time, the end of the connecting wire 430 will slide in the overlap groove 201, so that the metal ring 202 and the connecting wire 430 are disconnected.

[0025] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The objectives of the present invention have been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments, and any modifications or variations of the embodiments of the present invention may be made without departing from the stated principles.
