[0018] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] This utility model discloses a flexible converter, according to the appendix. Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes: Socket 1 serves as the basic component for connecting the entire converter 2 system to external power sources or other devices, providing an access point for converter 2. Converter 2, plugged into socket 1, is one of the core components. It functions as a converter and adapter, transforming the electrical energy or signal supplied by socket 1 to meet the needs of the device connected to plug 3. A protrusion 24 is fixedly connected inside converter 2. The plug 3 is plugged into the converter 2 and ultimately transmits the converted electrical energy or signal to the connected device. The plug 3 has a groove 34. The converter 2 and the plug 3 are initially positioned and connected through the protrusion 24 and the groove 34. Locking component 4 is provided on converter 2 and plug 3 and is used to further secure the connection between converter 2 and plug 3.

[0020] According to the appendix Figure 4-5 As shown, the converter 2 is further provided with a slot 21 and the plug 3 is provided with a connector 31. The slot 21 and the connector 31 are slidably connected. This connection method allows the plug 3 to be accurately inserted into the converter 2 and provides a basis for subsequent electrical connection and mechanical fixation.

[0021] According to the appendix Figure 4-5As shown, the inner wall of the slot 21 is provided with a socket 22, and the connector 31 is provided with a pin 33. The socket 22 and the pin 33 are movably connected. The socket 22 and the pin 33 constitute part of the electrical connection to ensure that the current or signal can be transmitted stably.

[0022] According to the appendix Figure 4-5 As shown, the converter 2 is provided with a short slot 23, and the connector 31 is fixedly connected with a boss 32. The boss 32 cooperates with the short slot 23. This structure further enhances the mechanical connection stability between the plug 3 and the converter 2, and prevents the plug 3 from shaking or loosening after insertion.

[0023] According to the appendix Figure 5 As shown, the plug 3 is provided with a curved groove 35, which makes it easier for the user to hold the plug 3 and perform plugging and unplugging operations. A protrusion 36 is fixedly connected to the curved groove 35. The function of the protrusion 36 is to increase the friction between the plug 3 and the user's hand, prevent the user's hand from slipping when plugging and unplugging the plug 3, and ensure the stability and safety of the operation.

[0024] According to the appendix Figure 2-3 As shown, it is particularly important to emphasize that the locking component 4 includes: Lock cap 41 is fixedly connected to converter 2, providing a mounting base for other components of locking assembly 4; The slide 42, which is formed inside the lock cap 41, is used to guide the movement of the locking block 43 and the locking tongue 47 to ensure the smooth progress of the locking process; The threaded rod 44 is threadedly connected inside the locking cap 41 and can be moved by rotation. The locking block 43 is rotatably connected to the end of the threaded rod 44 and can slide in the slide groove 42 as the threaded rod 44 moves, and engage with the locking tongue 47. The locking block 43 is slidably connected to the slide groove 42. The lock body 46 is fixedly connected to the plug 3, providing an installation position for the lock tongue 47; The locking tongue 47 is fixedly connected to the lock body 46. The locking tongue 47 engages with the locking block 43 to lock and fix the converter 2 and the plug 3.

[0025] According to the appendix Figure 2-3 As shown, it is particularly important to emphasize that a handle 45 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 44, which allows the operator to rotate the threaded rod 44 to lock or unlock it.

[0026] Working principle: When in use, plug the converter 2 into the socket 1 and insert the plug 3 into the converter 2. During insertion, the connector 31 on the plug 3 will slide along the slot 21 on the converter 2, allowing the plug 3 to be accurately inserted into the converter 2. At the same time, the protrusion 24 inside the converter 2 will embed into the groove 34 on the plug 3 to achieve initial positioning and connection, preventing the plug 3 from shifting significantly during insertion. The operator rotates the handle 45 on the threaded rod 44. Since the threaded rod 44 is threaded into the locking cap 41, rotating the handle 45 will cause the threaded rod 44 to move. The locking block 43 is rotatably connected to the threaded rod 44 and will slide in the slide groove 42 as the threaded rod 44 moves. As the locking block 43 moves, it will engage with the locking tongue 47 fixedly connected to the locking body 46 on the plug 3, thereby locking and fixing the converter 2 and the plug 3. This ensures that the plug 3 and the converter 2 will not accidentally separate during the entire use process. When it is necessary to remove the plug 3, simply rotate the handle 45 in the opposite direction to separate the locking block 43 from the locking tongue 47, and the plug 3 can be easily pulled out.
