Abstract
The present invention relates to an outlet unit facilitating plug separation and to a multi-outlet device using same. The outlet unit according to the present invention includes: an outlet main body having a plug inlet into which a plug is to be inserted, a bottom surface plate forming the bottom surface of the plug inlet and having a pair of terminal ports formed on the plate surface such that the terminals of a plug may be inserted, and a pair of electrodes which are disposed in the lower portion of the bottom surface plate and with which the terminals of the plug connect; a separation plate in which a pair of plug through-holes, through which the terminals of the plug pass, are formed on the plate surface and which is disposed in a raisable manner in the plug inlet so as to be capable of moving between a connection position, in which the terminals of the plug are lowered so as to be capable of being connected to the electrodes through the plug through-holes and the terminal ports, and a connection release position, in which the plug is lifted such that the terminals of the plug are separated from the electrodes; and a separation operation module which lifts the separation plate …
