Thus, when the plug is inserted into the first socket, the swivel structure portion protrudes into the second socket, and at this time, the plug is inserted into the second socket, and the plug is blocked by the swivel structure and cannot be inserted. In the same manner, when the plug is inserted into the second socket, the revolution structure portion protrudes into the first socket, and at this time, the plug is inserted into the first socket, and the plug is blocked by the revolution structure and cannot be inserted.

The pivoting structure 80 may use a spring as a restoring force so that the cam 82 can be restored to the original state when the first plug 21 and the second plug 22 are not inserted.
Fig. 17c is a schematic structural view of a cam according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 17c, in some embodiments, cam 82 is a member having a curvilinear profile and is a disc-shaped member having a varying diameter such that notches 822 are formed at locations of smaller radius and protrusions 821 are formed at locations of larger radius.
