In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 , the first locking member 14 is pivoted to one side wall (such as the right side wall) of the plug body 11 and has a pressing portion 141 at one end and a pressing portion 141 at the other end. The locking portion 143, wherein the pressing portion 141 extends upward along the direction of the second axis Z, in other words, the extending direction of the pressing portion 141 is away from the extending direction of the straight adapter end 113 (extends downward). In addition, the pressing part 141 can be substantially higher than the plug body 11 in the second axis Z direction. Specifically, the horizontal height H1 of the top surface of the pressing part 141 can be higher than the position on the second axis Z. The top surface of the plug body 11 has a horizontal height H2.

Continuing with the above, please refer to FIGS. 1 to 4 again. When the user presses the pressing part 141 with his fingers, the pressing part 141 can be displaced by force, and it can make the locking part 143 move toward the plug body 11 The side wall is far away from or close to. Since the height of the pressing part 141 is relatively high, the space for movement thereof is large and can span to the space above the plug body 11 (as shown in FIG. 4 ), thereby increasing the distance between the locking part 143 and the plug body 11 . The distance between the side walls ensures that the unlocking action described later is completed. At the same time, because the height of the pressing part 141 is relatively high, when the user operates the pressing part 141 with his fingers, he is less likely to be affected by adjacent components (such as the plug). (the side wall of the main body 11 ), in other words, the pressing portion 141 can have a larger operable space to improve the user's convenience in unlocking. In this embodiment, two pivot blocks 115 protrude from the side wall of the plug body 11 , and each pivot block 115 is spaced apart from each other. A pivot portion protrudes from the first locking member 14 on opposite sides. 145, each pivot portion 145 can be pivoted with the corresponding pivot block 115, so that the first locking member 14 can take the connection point of each pivot portion 145 and the pivot block 115 as the axis center. Turn. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, other pivot structures can be used between the first locking member 14 and the plug body 11, and are not limited to the configuration in Figure 3, as long as the first locking member 14 can Just rotate the plug body 11 and make the locking portion 143 move away from or approach the side wall of the plug body 11 synchronously.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 , an elastic element 15 is disposed between the first locking part 14 and the plug body 11 , and the elastic element 15 can exert a force toward the first locking part 14 , as mentioned above. The force can cause the locking portion 143 to approach the side wall of the plug body 11. In this embodiment, one end of the elastic element 15 can be fixed to an assembly groove 117 of the plug body 11. The other end of the elastic element 15 can abut against the inner wall of the pressing portion 141 of the first locking member 14 . It is particularly mentioned here that the inner direction of the pressing portion 141 refers to the direction toward the plug body 11 , and conversely, the outer direction of the pressing portion 141 refers to the direction away from the plug body 11 . As mentioned above, the other end of the elastic element 15 exerts force on the pressing part 141 (the elastic element 15 represented by the imaginary line in Figure 4) to push the pressing part 141 to move away from the plug body 11. At the same time, the locking portion 143 will move toward the plug body 11 synchronously. In addition, when the user presses the outer wall of the pressing part 141 and overcomes the force of the elastic element 15 , the pressing part 141 will move in a direction close to the plug body 11 , and at the same time, the locking part 143 It will synchronously move away from the plug body 11 to form a distance from the plug body 11 . Therefore, when the pressing part 141 moves farther in the direction of the plug body 11 , the locking part 143 and the plug body 11 will move further. The distance between the plug bodies 11 is larger, thereby ensuring complete unlocking. In this embodiment, the first locking member 14 and the related pivot structure (such as the pivot block 115) can be disposed on the first plug insulating body 123, but this is not a limitation, depending on the actual needs of the product. , the first locking member 14 and the related pivot structure can also be disposed on the second plug insulating body 134, as will be stated first.
