Description

electric plug

[0001] The present invention relates to an electric plug, and more particularly, to an electric plug that can allow furniture or home appliances to be placed as close to a wall as possible and increase space utilization.

[0002] An electrical plug is a type of electrical wiring device. It is a connection device installed at the end of a cord connected to an electrical device and plugged into an outlet. Typically, electricity entering a home or factory is connected to an outlet, and plugging an electrical device into the outlet supplies electricity to the device, enabling its operation.

[0003] At this time, the plug has two pins (connection pins) connected to the cord fixed to the plug body, such as the part that connects to the outlet, and by inserting and fixing these into the outlet hole, electricity is supplied to the electrical appliance.

[0004] That is, the general structure of the above-mentioned plug is composed of a plug body and a pair of connection pins provided on the front of the plug body, and according to this configuration, power can be supplied to a home appliance by connecting the connection pins provided on the plug body to the connection holes provided on the outlet.

[0005] At this time, the connecting pin is connected to a wire, and the wire is connected to an electric device, so that power supplied from the connecting pin can be supplied to the electric device through the wire.

[0006] Meanwhile, the plug can be broadly classified into two types according to the shape of the plug, firstly, a "straight plug" in which the connecting pin and the wiring are arranged in a straight line, and secondly, a "right-angled plug" in which the connecting pin and the wiring are arranged at a right angle.

[0007] Figure 1 is a real photograph showing a conventional rectangular plug.

[0008] Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional right-angled plug (10) includes a plug body (20); a connecting pin portion (30) protruding in a first direction of the plug body (20); and a wiring portion (40) arranged in a second direction of the plug body (20).

[0009] That is, the connecting pin portion (30) is connected to a wire (not shown) located in the wiring portion (40), so that power supplied from the connecting pin portion (30) can be supplied to an electric device through the wiring of the wiring portion (40).

[0010] At this time, as shown in Fig. 1, since the connecting pin portion (30) and the wiring portion (40) are arranged at a right angle, the plug of Fig. 1 can be defined as a right-angled plug.

[0011] However, in the present invention, for the convenience of explanation, the above-described plug is defined as a "straight plug" and a "right-angled plug", but the definition of "right-angled" is to define the angle formed by the connecting pin portion and the wiring portion, and the angle formed by the connecting pin portion and the wiring portion may be an acute angle or an obtuse angle, and therefore, in the present invention, the "right-angled plug" may be defined as a "non-straight-angled plug".

[0012] That is, assuming that the angle formed by the connecting pin portion (30) and the wiring portion (40) of the straight plug is 0 degrees, the right-angled plug according to the present invention is defined as a non-straight plug, so that the angle formed by the connecting pin portion (30) and the wiring portion (40) can be a right angle, an acute angle, or an obtuse angle.

[0013] Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the conventional rectangular plug (10) may further include a reinforcing bar (50) into which the wiring portion (40) is inserted and which is placed at the other end of the plug body (20). Since such a reinforcing bar is well known in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted below, and the presence or absence of the reinforcing bar is not limited in the present invention.

[0014] However, since these conventional right-angled plugs have a structure in which the plug body protrudes outside the outlet when connected to the outlet, there is a problem in that home appliances or furniture cannot be placed as close to the wall as possible.

[0015] That is because home appliances or furniture cannot be placed as close to the wall as possible to secure space due to the protruding part of the plug body connected to the outlet.

[0016] Accordingly, research and development is required on a flat-type plug that can maximize the space utilization by minimizing the protruding part of the plug connected to the wall outlet, thereby allowing furniture or home appliances to be placed as close to the wall as possible.

[0017] Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has applied for a flat type electric plug in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2022-0015540.

[0018] More specifically, in the Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2022-0015540, in implementing a flat type electric plug, the electric plug includes a first wiring connected to a first connection pin portion; a second wiring connected to a second connection pin portion; and a third wiring connected to a ground portion. It is important that the first wiring, the second wiring, and the third wiring are arranged in a straight line based on each cross-section, for example, in the area of ​​the first handle body portion.

[0019] Accordingly, in the Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2022-0015540, in order to implement this, the lower mold for manufacturing the electric plug includes a lower mold part for injection of the plug main body; and a lower mold part for injection of the plug auxiliary body part that is arranged continuously with the lower mold part for injection of the plug main body part, wherein the lower mold part for injection of the plug auxiliary body part includes a first protruding pin located in a first region; and a second protruding pin located in a second region and arranged to be spaced apart from the first protruding pin in the longitudinal direction, so that the first wiring, the second wiring, and the third wiring can be arranged in a straight line based on each cross-section, for example, in the region of the first handle body part.

[0020] However, in the case of the Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2022-0015540, since the wiring is aligned through the first protruding pin and the second protruding pin as described above, the first protruding pin and the second protruding pin must be included in the lower mold, and there is a problem that it is somewhat difficult to design the lower mold due to the first protruding pin and the second protruding pin.

[0021] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a flat-type electric plug that can maximize space utilization by minimizing the protruding portion of the plug connected to an outlet installed on a wall, thereby allowing furniture or home appliances to be placed as close to the wall as possible.

[0022] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a flat-type electric plug that can easily align the first wiring to the third wiring even if the configuration of the protruding pin in the lower mold is excluded.

[0057] The advantages and features of the present invention, and the methods for achieving them, will become clearer with reference to the embodiments described in detail below together with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but may be implemented in various different forms. These embodiments are provided solely to ensure that the disclosure of the present invention is complete and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the invention, and the present invention is defined solely by the scope of the claims.

[0058] The specific details for implementing the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Regardless of the drawings, the same reference numerals refer to the same components, and "and / or" includes each and every combination of one or more of the mentioned items.

[0059] Although terms like "first" and "second" are used to describe various components, these components are not limited by these terms. These terms are used merely to distinguish one component from another. Therefore, it should be understood that a "first" component referred to below may also be a "second" component within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0060] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments and is not intended to limit the present invention. In this specification, singular forms also include plural forms, unless specifically stated otherwise. As used herein, the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising" do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other components in addition to the components mentioned.

[0061] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein may be used in their common sense to those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains. Furthermore, terms defined in commonly used dictionaries are not to be interpreted ideally or excessively unless explicitly and specifically defined otherwise.

[0062] Spatially relative terms such as "below," "beneath," "lower," "above," and "upper" can be used to easily describe the relationship between one component and other components as depicted in the drawings.

[0063] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0064] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an electric plug according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a bottom view showing an electric plug according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a front view showing an electric plug according to the present invention.

[0065] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, an electric plug (100) according to the present invention includes a plug main body (110); a connecting pin portion (120) exposed in a first direction from the plug main body (110); a plug auxiliary body portion (130) extending in a second direction from the plug main body (110); and a wiring portion (140) arranged continuously with the plug auxiliary body portion (130).

[0066] Meanwhile, the electric plug according to the present invention can be defined as a right-angled plug in which the connecting pin portion (120) and the wiring portion (140) are arranged at a right angle. However, the definition of "right-angled" is intended to define the angle formed by the connecting pin portion and the wiring portion, and the angle formed by the connecting pin portion and the wiring portion may be an acute angle or an obtuse angle. Therefore, in the present invention, the "right-angled plug" can be defined as a "non-straight plug."

[0067] That is, assuming that the angle formed by the connecting pin portion (120) and the wiring portion (140) of the straight plug is 0 degrees, the right-angled plug according to the present invention is defined as a non-straight plug, so that the angle formed by the connecting pin portion (120) and the wiring portion (140) can be a right angle, an acute angle, or an obtuse angle.

[0068] At this time, the electric plug (100) according to the present invention can be defined as including a plug main body area (A); a connection pin area (B) exposed in a first direction from the plug main body area (A); a plug auxiliary body area (C) extending in a second direction from the plug main body area (A); and a wiring area (D) arranged continuously with the plug auxiliary body area (C).

[0069] In addition, it can be defined that the plug main body (110) is located in the plug main body area (A), the connection pin area (120) is located in the connection pin area (B), the plug auxiliary body area (130) is located in the plug auxiliary body area (C), and the wiring area (140) is located in the wiring area (D).

[0070] At this time, the present invention is characterized in that the upper surface of the plug main body (110) and the upper surface of the plug auxiliary body (130) are positioned on the same plane, and therefore, an electric plug having such a structure can be defined as a flat-type electric plug.

[0071] Continuing with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4, the plug auxiliary body region (C) includes a handle region (C1) that is arranged continuously from the plug main body region (A) and has a first thickness; and a handle support region (C2) that is arranged continuously with the handle region (C1) on one side and continuously with the wiring region (D) on the other side and has a second thickness.

[0072] At this time, the second thickness of the handle support part area (C2) is configured to be thicker than the first thickness of the handle part area (C1), that is, as shown in FIG. 4, the second thickness of the handle support part area (C2) is configured to be thicker than the first thickness of the handle part area (C1), thereby improving the pulling force of the plurality of wires located in the wiring part (140) through the handle support part area (C).

[0073] Meanwhile, it can be defined that a handle part (130a) is located in the handle part area (C1), and a handle support part (130b) is located in the handle support part area (C2).

[0074] Accordingly, the plug auxiliary body part can be defined as including a handle part that is arranged continuously from the plug main body part and has a first thickness; and a handle support part that is arranged continuously on one side with the handle part and continuously on the other side with the wiring part and has a second thickness.

[0075] At this time, as described above, in the present invention, the upper surface of the plug main body part (110) and the upper surface of the plug auxiliary body part (130) are located on the same plane, and therefore, the upper surface of the plug main body part (110) and the upper surfaces of the handle part (130a) and the handle support part (130b) are located on the same plane, and in the present invention, an electric plug having such a structure can be defined as a flat-type electric plug.

[0076] As described above, conventional right-angled plugs have a structure in which the plug body protrudes outside the outlet when connected to the outlet, which causes a problem in that home appliances or furniture cannot be placed as close to the wall as possible.

[0077] That is because home appliances or furniture cannot be placed as close to the wall as possible to secure space due to the protruding part of the plug body connected to the outlet.

[0078] More specifically, the conventional right-angled plug adopts a structure in which the plug body functions as a handle and the plug body protrudes considerably thickly outward from the outlet to function as a handle, so that home appliances or furniture cannot be placed as close to the wall as possible to secure space due to the protruding portion of the plug body.

[0079] However, in the present invention, the handle portion (130a) that functions as a handle is extended in the second direction from the plug main body portion (110), and further, the upper surface of the plug auxiliary body portion (130) including the handle portion (130a) is positioned on the same plane as the upper surface of the plug main body portion (110), thereby minimizing the thickness of the plug main body portion (110), thereby minimizing the protruding portion of the plug that is connected to an outlet provided on a wall surface, thereby providing a flat type plug that can bring furniture or home appliances in maximum close contact with a wall surface and increase space utilization.

[0080] Meanwhile, the handle portion (220) has a first thickness, and the handle support portion (230) has a second thickness, but the second thickness can be defined as being thicker than the first thickness.

[0081] In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the upper surface of the handle portion (130a) and the upper surface of the handle support portion (130b) are positioned on the same plane, that is, the upper surface of the handle portion (130a) and the upper surface of the handle support portion (130b) are flat, and the lower surface of the handle support portion (130b) protrudes further downward than the lower surface of the handle portion (130a), so that the second thickness of the handle support portion (130b) can be configured to be thicker than the first thickness of the handle portion (130a).

[0152] Referring to FIGS. 19 to 21, an electric plug (1000) according to another example of the present invention includes a plug main body part (1110); a connecting pin part (1120) exposed in a first direction from the plug main body part (1110); a plug auxiliary body part (1130) extending in a second direction from the plug main body part (1110); and a wiring part (1140) arranged continuously with the plug auxiliary body part (1130).

[0153] Meanwhile, an electric plug according to another example of the present invention may be defined as a right-angled plug in which the connecting pin portion (1120) and the wiring portion (1140) are arranged at a right angle. However, the definition of "right-angled" is intended to define the angle formed by the connecting pin portion and the wiring portion, and the angle formed by the connecting pin portion and the wiring portion may be an acute angle or an obtuse angle. Therefore, in the present invention, the "right-angled plug" may be defined as a "non-straight plug."

[0154] That is, assuming that the angle formed by the connecting pin portion (1120) and the wiring portion (1140) of the straight plug is 0 degrees, the right-angled plug according to the present invention is defined as a non-straight plug, so that the angle formed by the connecting pin portion (1120) and the wiring portion (1140) can be a right angle, an acute angle, or an obtuse angle.

[0155] At this time, an electric plug (1000) according to another example of the present invention can be defined as including a plug main body area (A); a connection pin area (B) exposed in a first direction from the plug main body area (A); a plug auxiliary body area (C) extending in a second direction from the plug main body area (A); and a wiring area (D) arranged continuously with the plug auxiliary body area (C).

[0156] In addition, it can be defined that the plug main body part (1110) is located in the plug main body part area (A), the connection pin part (120) is located in the connection pin part area (B), the plug auxiliary body part (130) is located in the plug auxiliary body part area (C), and the wiring part (1140) is located in the wiring part area (D).

[0157] At this time, the present invention is characterized in that the upper surface of the plug main body (1110) and the upper surface of the plug auxiliary body (1130) are positioned on the same plane, and therefore, an electric plug having such a structure can be defined as a flat-type electric plug.

[0158] Continuing with reference to FIGS. 19 to 21, the plug auxiliary body region (C) includes a handle region (C1) that is arranged continuously from the plug main body region (A) and has a first thickness; and a handle support region (C2) that is arranged continuously with the handle region (C1) on one side and continuously with the wiring region (D) on the other side and has a second thickness.

[0159] At this time, the second thickness of the handle support part area (C2) is configured to be thicker than the first thickness of the handle part area (C1), that is, as shown in FIG. 21, the second thickness of the handle support part area (C2) is configured to be thicker than the first thickness of the handle part area (C1), thereby improving the pulling force of the plurality of wires located in the wiring part (140) through the handle support part area (C).

[0160] Meanwhile, it can be defined that a handle part (1130a) is located in the handle part area (C1), and a handle support part (1130b) is located in the handle support part area (C2).

[0161] Accordingly, the plug auxiliary body part can be defined as including a handle part that is arranged continuously from the plug main body part and has a first thickness; and a handle support part that is arranged continuously on one side with the handle part and continuously on the other side with the wiring part and has a second thickness.

[0162] At this time, as described above, in the present invention, the upper surface of the plug main body part (1110) and the upper surface of the plug auxiliary body part (1130) are located on the same plane, and therefore, the upper surface of the plug main body part (1110) and the upper surfaces of the handle part (1130a) and the handle support part (1130b) are located on the same plane, and in the present invention, an electric plug having such a structure can be defined as a flat-type electric plug.

[0163] As described above, conventional right-angled plugs have a structure in which the plug body protrudes outside the outlet when connected to the outlet, which causes a problem in that home appliances or furniture cannot be placed as close to the wall as possible.

[0164] That is because home appliances or furniture cannot be placed as close to the wall as possible to secure space due to the protruding part of the plug body connected to the outlet.

[0165] More specifically, the conventional right-angled plug adopts a structure in which the plug body functions as a handle and the plug body protrudes considerably thickly outward from the outlet to function as a handle, so that home appliances or furniture cannot be placed as close to the wall as possible to secure space due to the protruding portion of the plug body.

[0166] However, in the present invention, the handle portion (1130a) that functions as a handle is extended in the second direction from the plug main body portion (1110), and further, the upper surface of the plug auxiliary body portion (1130) including the handle portion (1130a) is positioned on the same plane as the upper surface of the plug main body portion (1110), thereby minimizing the thickness of the plug main body portion (1110), thereby minimizing the protruding portion of the plug that is connected to an outlet provided on a wall surface, thereby providing a flat type plug that can bring furniture or home appliances in maximum close contact with a wall surface and increase space utilization.

[0167] Meanwhile, the handle portion (1220) has a first thickness, and the handle support portion (1230) has a second thickness, but the second thickness can be defined as being thicker than the first thickness.

[0168] In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 21, the upper surface of the handle portion (1130a) and the upper surface of the handle support portion (1130b) are positioned on the same plane, that is, the upper surface of the handle portion (1130a) and the upper surface of the handle support portion (1130b) are flat, and the lower surface of the handle support portion (1130b) protrudes further downward than the lower surface of the handle portion (1130a), so that the second thickness of the handle support portion (1130b) can be configured to be thicker than the first thickness of the handle portion (1130a).

[0169] Continuing, referring to FIG. 19, the connecting pin portion (1120) includes a first connecting pin portion (1120a) exposed in a first direction from the plug main body portion (1110); and a second connecting pin portion (1120b) exposed in a first direction from the plug main body portion (1110) and positioned at a predetermined distance from the first connecting pin portion (1120a). However, although the number of connecting pin portions is illustrated as two in the drawing, the number of connecting pin portions is not limited in the present invention.

[0170] Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawing, the inside of the main body of the plug may include a grounding portion, and in the case of a general electric plug, it includes a first wiring (not shown) connected to the first connection pin portion (1120a); a second wiring (not shown) connected to the second connection pin portion (1120b); and a third wiring (not shown) connected to the grounding portion. The first to third wirings extend to the wiring portion (1140) and, through the plurality of wirings, can supply power, etc. to an electronic device to which the electric plug is connected.

[0171] At this time, the first wiring, the second wiring, and the third wiring are electrically connected to the first connection pin portion (1120a), the second connection pin portion (1120b), and the ground portion, respectively, in the plug main body portion (1110), and are arranged along the handle portion (1220) and the handle support portion (1230), and then extended to the wiring portion (1140).

[0172] Fig. 22 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a lower mold for manufacturing an electric plug according to another example of the present invention, and Fig. 23 is a schematic side view illustrating a lower mold for manufacturing an electric plug according to another example of the present invention. In this case, the mold for manufacturing an electric plug according to another example of the present invention in Figs. 22 and 23 may refer to the mold of the aforementioned Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2022-0015540, except as described below.

[0173] Meanwhile, the molds of FIGS. 22 and 23 are injection molds, and only the lower mold is shown in the drawings, and the upper mold is omitted. In addition, FIG. 23 includes a guide holder part as described later.

[0174] Referring to FIGS. 22 and 23, a lower mold (4000) (hereinafter referred to as “lower mold”) for manufacturing an electric plug according to another example of the present invention includes a lower mold part (4410) for injection of a plug main body part; and a lower mold part (4420) for injection of a plug auxiliary body part that is arranged continuously with the lower mold part (4410) for injection of the plug main body part.

[0175] That is, the plug main body part described above can be injection-molded in the lower mold part (4410) for injection of the plug main body part, and the plug auxiliary body part described above can be injection-molded in the lower mold part (4420) for injection of the plug auxiliary body part.

[0176] At this time, as illustrated in FIG. 22, the first connecting pin portion and the second connecting pin portion are inserted into the lower mold portion (4410) for injection of the plug main body, and the first wiring (not shown) connected to the first connecting pin portion (1120a); the second wiring (not shown) connected to the second connecting pin portion (not shown); and the third wiring (not shown) connected to the ground portion are aligned to the lower mold portion (4420) for injection of the plug auxiliary body, and the first to third wirings can be arranged to extend to the wiring portion (4140).

[0177] Afterwards, although not shown in the drawing, when the lower mold (4000) and the upper mold (not shown) are combined, resin is injected into the inside of the mold, thereby manufacturing another electric plug according to the present invention.

[0178] Continuing, referring to FIG. 23, a lower mold (4000) according to another example of the present invention includes a guide holder part (5000) arranged on the upper portion of the lower mold part (4420) for injection of the plug auxiliary body part.

[0179] At this time, the guide holder part (5000) is for guiding the first to third wiring in one direction as described above, and it is preferable that the material of the guide pad part is a resin material such as PVC resin, ABS resin, or PC resin.

[0180] Meanwhile, the guide holder part (5000) guides the first to third wirings in one direction as described above, which means that the first wiring, the second wiring, and the third wiring are arranged in a straight line based on their respective cross sections, for example, in the area of ​​the first handle body part, and the same applies hereinafter.

[0181] As described above, according to another example of the present invention, an electric plug can be manufactured by injecting resin into the interior of the mold while the lower mold (4000) and the upper mold (not shown) are combined, and when the electric plug is manufactured by injecting resin into the interior of the mold, in order to improve the adhesion between the guide holder and the resin injected into the interior of the mold, it is preferable that the material of the guide holder is a resin material such as PVC resin, ABS resin, or PC resin.

[0182] Meanwhile, in the drawing, the guide holder part is depicted as being arranged over the entire area of ​​the lower mold part (4420) for injection of the plug auxiliary main body part, based on the longitudinal direction of the lower mold part (4420) for injection of the plug auxiliary main body part. However, since the guide pad part serves to guide the first wiring to the third wiring in one direction, it is natural that the guide pad part can be arranged over a part of the lower mold part (4420) for injection of the plug auxiliary main body part.

[0183] Continuing with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23, as described above, a lower mold (4000) (hereinafter referred to as “lower mold”) for manufacturing an electric plug according to another example of the present invention includes a lower mold part (4410) for injection of a plug main body part; and a lower mold part (4420) for injection of a plug auxiliary body part that is arranged continuously with the lower mold part (4410) for injection of the plug main body part.

[0184] At this time, as shown in the drawing, the lower mold part (4420) for injection of the plug auxiliary body part includes a first protruding pin (4421) located in the first region; and a second protruding pin (4422) located in the second region and spaced apart from the first protruding pin (4422) in the longitudinal direction.

[0185] In addition, the first protruding pin (4421) includes a first-first protruding pin (4421a); ​​a first-second protruding pin (4421b) spaced apart from the first-first protruding pin (4421a) in the width direction, and the second protruding pin (4422) includes a second-first protruding pin (4422a); and a second-second protruding pin (4422b) spaced apart from the second-first protruding pin (4422a) in the width direction.

[0186] Meanwhile, as shown in the drawing, the protruding pin may further include a third protruding pin (4423) positioned between the first protruding pin and the second protruding pin, and at this time, the third protruding pin (4423) may further include a 3-1 protruding pin (4423a); and a 3-2 protruding pin (4423b) positioned spaced apart from the 3-1 protruding pin (4423a) in the width direction. However, in the present invention, the protruding pin may include at least two or more protruding pins (i.e., a first protruding pin and a second protruding pin).

[0187] Meanwhile, the longitudinal direction and the width direction can be defined based on the lower mold part for injection of the plug auxiliary body part.

[0188] In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 23, a lower mold (4000) according to another example of the present invention includes a guide holder part (5000) arranged on the upper portion of the lower mold part (4420) for injection of the plug auxiliary body part, and at this time, the lower surface of the guide holder part (5000) can be supported by the protruding pin.

[0189] For example, one longitudinal side of the guide holder part (5000) may be supported by the first protruding pin (4421, 4421a), the other longitudinal side of the guide holder part (5000) may be supported by the second protruding pin (4422, 4422a), and further, the longitudinal center area of ​​the guide holder part (5000) may be supported by the third protruding pin (4423, 4423a).

[0190] At this time, when the first wiring; the second wiring; and the third wiring are inserted into the guide holder part (5000), the bottom surface of the guide holder part is supported by the protruding pin, and therefore, the bottom surface of the guide holder part can be positioned at a certain distance from the inner surface of the lower mold part (4420) for injection of the plug auxiliary main body part.

[0191] That is, the guide holder part can be positioned so that the lower surface of the guide holder part is spaced apart from the inner surface of the lower mold part (4420) for injection of the plug auxiliary main body part by a certain distance, equal to the height of the protruding pin.

[0192] Continuing with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23, as shown in the drawings, the lower mold part (4420) for injection of the plug auxiliary body part includes a first guide pin (4431) located in a third region; and a second guide pin (4432) located in a fourth region and spaced apart from the first guide pin (4431) in the longitudinal direction.

[0193] In addition, the first guide pin (4431) includes a first-first guide pin (4431a); a first-second guide pin (4431b) spaced apart from the first-first guide pin (4431a) in the width direction, and the second guide pin (4432) includes a second-first guide pin (4432a); and a second-second guide pin (4432b) spaced apart from the second-first guide pin (4422a) in the width direction.

[0194] At this time, the spacing between the 1-1 guide pin (4431a) and the 1-2 guide pin (4431b) and the spacing between the 2-1 guide pin (4432a) and the 2-2 guide pin (4432b) may be spaced apart greater than the spacing between the 1-1 protruding pin (4421a) and the 1-2 protruding pin (4421b), but the present invention does not limit the numerical values ​​of these spacings.

[0195] In addition, in the present invention, as will be described later, in order for the widthwise side of the guide holder portion to be supported by the guide pin, it is preferable that the height of the guide pin be formed higher than the height of the protruding pin.

[0196] Meanwhile, in the drawing, the first guide pin and the second guide pin are shown as being arranged in the area between the first protruding pin and the second protruding pin, but the arrangement relationship between the guide pin and the protruding pin is not limited in the present invention.

[0197] At this time, as shown in the drawing, the guide holder part (5000) can have its width-wise side supported by the first guide pin and the second guide pin.

[0198] More specifically, one width-wise side of the longitudinal front of the guide holder part is supported by the 1-1 guide pin (4431a), the other width-wise side of the longitudinal front of the guide holder part is supported by the 1-2 guide pin (4431b), one width-wise side of the longitudinal rear of the guide holder part is supported by the 2-1 guide pin (4432a), and the other width-wise side of the longitudinal rear of the guide holder part can be supported by the 2-2 guide pin (4432b).

[0199] That is, in the present invention, when the first wiring; the second wiring; and the third wiring are inserted into the guide holder portion (5000), the bottom surface of the guide holder portion is supported by the protruding pin, and further, the side surface of the guide holder portion is supported by the first guide pin and the second guide pin, thereby preventing the guide holder portion from being separated in the width direction of the lower mold.

[0200] Meanwhile, as described above, when the lower mold (4000) and the upper mold (not shown) are combined, the electric plug according to the present invention can be manufactured by injecting resin into the inside of the mold. However, the resin is not injected into the areas where the first protruding pin (4421), the second protruding pin (4422), and the third protruding pin (4423) are located. Therefore, as described later, a first lower groove portion is formed in the electric plug in an area corresponding to the areas where the first protruding pin (4421), the second protruding pin (4422), and the third protruding pin (4423) are located, as described later.

[0201] In addition, when the lower mold (4000) and the upper mold (not shown) are combined, and resin is injected into the interior of the mold, when the electric plug according to the present invention is manufactured, resin is not injected into the area where the first guide pin (4431) and the second guide pin (4432) are located, and therefore, as will be described later, a second groove portion is formed on the lower surface of the electric plug in the area corresponding to the area where the first guide pin (4431) and the second guide pin (4432) are located, as will be described later.

[0202] Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawing, the upper mold may further include a protruding pin for supporting the upper surface of the guide holder portion, similarly to the lower mold. In this case, the protruding pins included in the lower mold may be defined as a lower first protruding pin, a lower second protruding pin, and a lower third protruding pin, and the protruding pins included in the upper mold may be defined as an upper first protruding pin, an upper second protruding pin, and an upper third protruding pin.

[0203] At this time, in addition, when the lower mold (4000) and the upper mold (not shown) are combined, resin is injected into the inside of the mold, so that when the electric plug according to the present invention is manufactured, resin is not injected into the areas where the upper first protruding pin (not shown), the upper second protruding pin (not shown), and the upper third protruding pin (not shown) are located, and therefore, as will be described later, an upper surface first groove portion is formed in the electric plug in an area corresponding to the areas where the upper first protruding pin (not shown), the upper second protruding pin (not shown), and the upper third protruding pin (not shown), which will be described later.

[0204] Meanwhile, in the present invention, when including a protruding pin in the upper mold, it can be understood that the upper first protruding pin is arranged in an area corresponding to the lower first protruding pin, the upper second protruding pin is arranged in an area corresponding to the lower second protruding pin, and the upper third protruding pin is arranged in an area corresponding to the lower third protruding pin.

[0205] Hereinafter, a guide holder part according to another example of the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0206] FIG. 24 is a schematic perspective view showing a guide holder part according to another example of the present invention, FIG. 25 is a schematic front view showing a guide holder part according to another example of the present invention, and FIG. 26 is a schematic perspective view showing a state in which a first wiring, a second wiring, and a third wiring are inserted into a space of a guide holder part according to the present invention.

[0207] First, referring to FIGS. 24 and 25, a guide holder part (5000) according to another example of the present invention includes an upper support plate (5510) that is arranged long in the longitudinal direction; a lower support plate (5520) that is arranged at a predetermined height distance from the upper support plate (5510), is located in a region corresponding to the upper support plate, and is arranged long in the longitudinal direction; and a side support plate (5530) that is connected to one end in the width direction of the upper support plate and one end in the width direction of the lower support plate, and is arranged long in the longitudinal direction.

[0208] More specifically, one end in the width direction of the side support plate is positioned continuously with one end in the width direction of the upper support plate, and the other end in the width direction of the side support plate is positioned continuously with one end in the width direction of the lower support plate, and the upper support plate, the lower support plate, and the side support plate are arranged lengthwise, so that the guide holder according to the present invention can be understood to have an approximately “ㄷ” shaped cross-sectional structure.

[0209] Meanwhile, a guide holder part according to another example of the present invention includes a space part (5540) formed by a height-wise gap between the upper support plate (5510) and the lower support plate (5520), and as illustrated in FIG. 26, a first wiring (121a), a second wiring (121b), and a third wiring (121c) are inserted into the space part (540), thereby enabling the first wiring, the second wiring, and the third wiring to be aligned in the longitudinal direction through the guide holder part.

[0210] At this time, as described above, the guide holder part according to another example of the present invention can be understood to have a cross-sectional structure roughly in the shape of the letter “ㄷ”, which can be defined as an open end region of the widthwise other side of the upper support plate and an open end region of the widthwise other side of the lower support plate.

[0211] Therefore, in the present invention, the first wiring, the second wiring, and the third wiring can be inserted into the space (5540) of the guide holder portion through the open area of ​​the widthwise other end area of ​​the upper support plate and the widthwise other end area of ​​the lower support plate.

[0212] As described above, in the present invention, the first to third wiring lines as described above can be arranged in one direction through the guide holder part.

[0213] As described above, in the case of the Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2022-0015540, since the wiring is aligned through the first protruding pin and the second protruding pin as described above, the first protruding pin and the second protruding pin must be necessarily included in the lower mold, and there is a problem that it is somewhat difficult to align the wiring between the first protruding pin and the second protruding pin.

[0214] However, in the present invention, a flat-type electric plug can be provided that can easily align the first to third wiring by aligning the wiring through a guide holder portion.

[0215] Accordingly, an electric plug according to another example of the present invention can be defined as follows.
