[0061] Further, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the thimbles 311 are divided into several groups and distributed at the jacks 2, which can eject two-angle plugs or three-angle plugs.

[0062] Further, as shown in FIG. 3-4, the bottom frame 312 is arranged between the lower ends of the several groups of thimbles 311, which ensures the stability of each thimble 311.

[0063] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the shell 1 is provided with several groups of USB sockets 4.

[0064] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the shell 1 is provided with a switch 5 and an indicator light 6.

[0065] Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the bottom of the shell 1 is provided with a lower cover 7. Working process:

[0066] First, when the plug needs to be pulled out, press the button 322 downward with one hand, the button 322 drives the lifting plate 323 to descend through the lifting rod 321, the lifting plate 323 takes the L-shaped hanging plate 324 to descend, the L-shaped hanging plate 324 takes the limiting wedge 328 to descend, the inclined surface of the limiting wedge 328 forces the L-shaped vertical plate 325 to move horizontally, the L-shaped vertical plate 325 drives the clamping plate 3251 to separate from the convex plate 329 and slide into the hollow column 313, the bottom frame 312 takes the thimble 311 to rise under the tension of the driving spring 314, the thimble 311 pops out of the jack 2, then, release the button 322, the first reset spring 326 drives the L-shaped vertical plate 325 to reset, the L-shaped vertical plate 325 drives the clamping plate 3251 to slide out of the hollow column 313 again, the second reset spring 327 drives the L-shaped hanging plate 324, the lifting plate 323, the lifting rod 321 and the button 322 to reset, ready for the next use; when the plug needs to be inserted again, the thimble 311 can be reset to the original position manually, or the thimble 311 can be reset to the original position during the process of inserting the plug into the jack 2, during the process of resetting the thimble 311 downward, the convex plate 329 of the bottom frame 312 contacts the inclined surface of the clamping plate 3251 and forces the clamping plate 3251 to move horizontally with the L-shaped vertical plate 325, after the convex plate 329 moves downward and separates from the clamping plate 3251, the first reset spring 326 drives the L-shaped vertical plate 325 to reset with the clamping plate 3251, so that the clamping plate 3251 blocks the upward movement of the convex plate 329, thereby fixing the position of the thimble 311.
