In general, the main unit 200 has a housing 220, the housing 220 forms a receiving space, and the sub-cabinet 210 is disposed in the housing 220, where the sub-cabinet 210 may be an independent cabinet or a part of the housing 220, and after other components of the main unit 200 are installed in the receiving space, there is a space for accommodating the sub-unit 100. The sub-machine 100 can be separated from the main machine 200 to work independently, preferably, in order to facilitate the sub-machine 100 to enter and exit the sub-machine cabin 210 and reduce manual handling, the sub-machine cabin 210 is arranged at the lower part of the main machine 200, and the sub-machine 100 is provided with a pulley or other device, so that a user can directly push or pull the sub-machine 100 into or out of the sub-machine cabin 210. Further, in order to improve the convenience of the practical sub-machine 100, the sub-machine 100 is provided with an electric storage device, and the sub-machine 100 is supplied with energy through the electric storage device to realize normal operation, so that the sub-machine 100 can work normally without connecting other power supplies after the sub-machine 100 is separated from the main machine 200, and the convenience of the sub-machine 100 is improved. In addition, in order to charge the power storage device in the slave unit 100, the slave unit 100 is provided with a charging plug 110, the host 200 is provided with a charging socket 230 adapted to the charging plug 110, and the charging socket 230 is powered on, so that the slave unit 100 can be charged when the charging plug 110 of the slave unit 100 is plugged into the charging socket 230.

Further, since the charging socket 230 provided on the host 200 is always in an energized state, there is a great potential safety hazard of electric shock. In order to reduce the electric shock safety hazard, the switch assembly 300 is disposed on the host 200, and the switch assembly 300 is disposed between the power source and the charging socket 230, so as to switch the charging socket 230 to an on-off state or an off-state. In this way, when the electronic device 100 does not need to be charged, the charging socket 230 can be switched to the power-off state, so as to reduce the electric shock hidden danger of the charging socket 230 and further improve the safety of the charging socket 230.

Further, the charging socket 230 may be exposed to air, so as to prevent potential safety hazards caused by water outside the body from falling off and spraying on the charging socket 230, or to reduce poor contact caused by dust and dirt entering the socket jack, and to prevent people from touching the socket directly and carelessly, thereby causing potential safety hazards of electric shock. The solution of the present invention is further provided with a socket protection door 400, the socket protection door 400 is used for covering the charging socket 230, the socket protection door 400 has a plurality of protection forms, and needs to be used in cooperation with the installation position of the charging socket 230, so that the charging socket 230 is covered and protected, for example, when the charging socket 230 is convexly arranged on the housing 220, the socket protection door 400 may be in the form of a protection cover so as to cover the charging socket 230. When the housing 220 is provided with the mounting groove 221 and the charging socket 230 is completely sunk into the mounting groove 221, the socket protection door 400 may be just the door panel 410, and the notch or the opening 222 of the mounting groove 221 may be covered, which is only illustrated by way of example, and not by way of illustration of the socket protection door 400.

Preferably, in order to further improve the safety of charging the slave unit 100, the socket protection door 400 is disposed in association with the switch assembly 300. For example, the socket protection door 400 is movably switched between a covering position and an opening position and is arranged on the host 200, and the socket protection door 400 is linked with the switch assembly 300 to execute an opening action or a closing action; when the socket protection door 400 is switched to the covering position, the charging socket 230 is covered and the switch assembly 300 is triggered to perform an opening action, so as to switch the charging socket 230 to an energized state; when the socket protection door 400 is switched to the open position, the charging socket 230 is opened and the switch assembly 300 is triggered to perform the turn-off action, so as to switch the charging socket 230 to the power-off state.
