Its main function is to rectify and transform the alternating current of the external power supply to the table: suitable and stable voltage and current for the electronic product. Please refer to the figure - which is a schematic diagram of a conventional power adapter. As shown in the figure, a commercially available power adapter 1A includes a housing 11 (), a first plug 120 and a second plug 13A. The housing 11 has a plurality of electronic components therein, and various circuits for arranging the electronic components to rectify and transform the input alternating current. The first plug 120 is connected to the housing ι through a first power cord 123 and is electrically connected to the electronic components inside the housing 110. The first plug 120 includes a first body 121 and a reduced milk. The first connection covered by the first body 121 is: (帛): The connection terminal 122 is connected to the electronic product, and the voltage and electricity that is rectified or transformed are supplied to the electronic product. Β ' ' The first plug-in 130 series is connected through a second power cord (3) and is in contact with the inside of the housing 11 , and the double 遛 1 chuanlian 130 is electrically connected to the electronic components of the first-to-too. The second plug is connected to the terminal 132. Wherein, the first body 131/kg of the second connection-connection terminal 132 is connected to the external power source 5 - the end of the power supply line 223 is connected to one end surface of the casing 21, and the casing ^0 The internal electronic components are electrically connected. The first plug 2 shirt: the other end of the power cord 223, and the first plug can be measured with the recessed edge 24. In a tight fit manner, the first plug is fixed to the entire line structure. Similarly, the end of the first power cord 233 is coupled to the other end surface of the housing 21, and the electronic tree of the housing 11 ()_ Electrical connection. The second head 230 is coupled to the other end of the second power line 233 and the second plug can be combined with the recess 241 in a tight fit to secure the second plug 23 to the integral structure 240. The first plug 220 has a first body 221 which is insulated and has a flexible rubber material for covering the second connection terminal 222 of the first plug 22A. The 'first connection terminal' is micro-connected to a portable electronic product (such as a notebook computer and a job, etc.) to supply rectified or transformed voltage and current to the electronic product. In addition, the first body 221 has a first groove 221, and the first groove 2210 has a bottom surface 2211 and two side walls 2212. The bottom surface 2211 and the two side walls 2212 of the first trench 2210 can be combined with the concave edge 241 of the whole line structure 240 in a tight fit to fix the first plug 22() to the entire line structure 24 (L·in a comparison In a preferred embodiment, the first trench 221 is an annular trench. In detail, the recess 241 of the full-line structure 240 can be embedded in the first trench 2210 and the two sidewalls 2212 of the first trench 2210. The first plug 220 is not easily detached from the entire wire structure 24 at the same time. At the same time, since the first body 221 is made of a soft material, the first plug 22 can be more effectively fixed on the entire wire structure 240. As shown in the following figure, when the power adapter is not in use, the first power cord 223 may be wound around the side of the ring on the housing 210, and then the first plug (four) is snapped and fixed to the recess of the whole line. = upper = into f, the whole line and storage of the head 220 and its first power line 223. It is worthy of tolerance that the circumference of the whole line structure 240 protrudes from the side of the casing 21 ,, and can be used to resist the housing The power of the coffee on the 21G, to prevent the power cord from sliding out from both ends of the housing 210. Similarly, the second plug 230 has a second The second body 231 is an insulating and flexible rubber material for covering the second connection terminal 232 of the second plug 230. The second connection terminal 232 is connected to an AC power source of an external power source. The first body 231 has a second groove 2310, and the second groove 2310 has a bottom surface 2311 and two side walls 2312.

In a preferred embodiment, the second groove 231 is an annular groove. As shown in FIG. When the power adapter is not in use, the second power cord 233 may be bundled with the strap 234, and then the second plug 23〇 is snap-fitted to the recess 241 of the whole line structure 240. Alternatively, As shown in FIG. 3, the second power cord 233 can be wound around the side of the ring on the housing 210, and the second plug 23b can be snap-fitted to the recess 241 of the whole line structure 240 to complete the second plug. 230 and its second electric 1336157 line 233 line and storage. It is worth noting that this The entire line structure 24 〇 is out of the side of the housing 210, that is to say the entire line ° the next concave edge 24] can be engaged by the plug. Again, there is ~ but in the preferred embodiment, the whole line Structure 24

二Π緣:。例如,整線結構240之周緣可突出於彀 的四個側面,且具有四個凹緣如,其中這些 4兩兩相對且互相垂直,如圖二及圖三所示。如此 根據電源線長度,插頭(第一插頭220或第二插頭23〇)可 組合至適當的凹緣241。 在本發明之-實施例令,電源轉接器之殼體21〇與整 線結構24G係為-體成形。而在另—實施例中,整線結 240可利用額外鎖_方式與殼體21()結合^如圖四所示, 正線結構240係為-板狀結構’且整線結構24〇與殼體训 端面分別設置相對應的導孔(圖中未顯示),並利用複數個Second edge: For example, the circumference of the entire line structure 240 may protrude from the four sides of the crucible and have four concave edges, such as four, two of which are opposite and perpendicular to each other, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Thus, depending on the length of the power cord, the plug (the first plug 220 or the second plug 23A) can be combined to the appropriate recess 241. In the embodiment of the present invention, the housing 21 of the power adapter and the entire wire structure 24G are formed in a body. In another embodiment, the integral wire 240 can be combined with the housing 21 () by an additional lock method. As shown in FIG. 4, the positive line structure 240 is a plate-like structure and the entire line structure is 24 The corresponding end faces of the housing training end are respectively set (not shown in the figure), and a plurality of
