With the adapter structure 1 that can be used across countries, a changeover process can be carried out in accordance with the plug standards of different countries. When the transnational adapter structure 1 is to be used in the United States, the pressing group 31 is first pressed, whereby the elastic member 311 is pressed by the pressing group 31, with the first abutment portions 324 of the first electrical connection group 32 released from the first front guide slots 313 so that the first switching element 321 can be displaced and the first switching element 321 is displaced until it is located on the first guide slot 23 and thus the first electrical connection group 32 is driven in such a way that it is displaced onto the main body 3, the first conductive parts 322 are inserted through the first through holes 21 and connected to the first conductive parts 323 for electrical connection to the conductive clamping part 341, at the same time the first abutment sections 324 being displaced up to within the first rear guide slots 314, then the pressing group 31 is released, wherein the pressing group 31 is pressed by the elastic force of the elastic elements 311 and thereby resets, and the first abutment portions 324 are limited by the first rear guide slots 314, whereby the first conductive parts 322 protrude firmly from the cover 2. In this way, the transnational adapter structure 1 can be used for American sockets and the user can establish an electrical connection via the electrical connection 36 of the rear cover 4. Furthermore, in the state in which the first conductive parts 322 are firmly protruded from the cover 2, each of the first conductive parts 322 can be rotated inwardly, whereby the transnational adapter structure 1 can meet the Australian plug standards. Further, in the present embodiment, the first electrical connection group 32 is displaced until it is located on the main body, so that the second electrical connection group 33 cannot be displaced by limiting the side stop members 35.

It will now be on the 4 and 10 until 14 Reference is made, which is a schematic view of the implementation of the pressing of the pressing group according to the invention, a first schematic view of the implementation of the second electrical connection group according to the invention, a first partially schematic sectional view of the implementation of the second electrical connection group according to the invention, a first partially schematic sectional view of the implementation of the second electrical connection group according to the invention electrical connection group from a different angle, a second schematic view of the implementation of the second electrical connection group according to the invention and a second partially schematic sectional view of the implementation of the second electrical connection group according to the invention. With the adapter structure 1 that can be used across countries, a changeover process can be carried out in accordance with the plug standards of different countries. If the transnational adapter structure 1 is to be used in Switzerland, the pressing group 31 is first pressed, whereby the elastic element 311 is pressed by the pressing group 31, the second contact sections 334 of the second electrical connection group 33 being released from the second front guide slots 316 , so that the second switching element 331 can be moved and the second switching element 331 is moved until it is on the second guide slot 24 and thus the second electrical connection group 33 is driven in such a way that it is displaced onto the main body 3, the second conductive parts 332 being inserted through the second through holes 22, at the same time the second abutment sections 334 being inside the second rear guide slots 317 are moved, then the pressing group 31 is released, the pressing group 31 being pressed by the elastic force of the elastic elements 311 and thereby reset, and the second abutment sections 334 being limited by the second rear guide slots 317, whereby the second conductive parts 332 are firmly removed from the Cover 2 protrude, then the rear additional plug-in parts 335 are rotated to the positions of the second conductive parts 332. In this way, the adapter structure 1, which can be used across countries, can be used for Swiss sockets and the user can establish an electrical connection via the electrical connection 36 of the rear cover 4. Furthermore, in the state in which the second conductive parts 322 and the rear additional plug parts 335 protrude firmly from the cover 2, the front additional plug part 251 arranged in the receiving recess 25 can be rotated so that the front additional plug part is perpendicular to the cover 2, whereby The adapter structure 1, which can be used across countries, can meet British plug standards.

With the adapter structure 1 that can be used across countries, a changeover process can be carried out in accordance with the plug standards of different countries. If the adapter structure 1, which can be used across countries, is to be used in Germany, it is first ensured that the second conductive parts 332 protrude firmly from the cover 2, then assembly is carried out using an adapter 5, the adapter 5 having at least one adapter through hole 51 is provided, wherein the second conductive parts 332 are arranged in the adapter through-holes 51, wherein the elongated conductive parts 333 are inserted through the adapter through-holes 51 and protrude from the adapter 5. In this way, the adapter structure 1, which can be used across countries, can be used for German sockets. Thus, in the transnational adapter structure 1, the first conductive parts 322 or the second conductive parts 332 can protrude by pressing the pressing group 31 and then by displacement control of the first electrical connection group 32 or the second electrical connection group 33 and an electrical connection can be established therein. to achieve the beneficial effects of convenient switching process, designed to meet the plug standards of different countries, easy portability and improved safety.
