Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to power sockets with safety features, but the specific combination of a photoelectric sensor and controller for conductive terminal control may be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does the photoelectric sensor differentiate between the extending plate and other objects passing through the through hole?

The photoelectric sensor likely has specific parameters and algorithms to distinguish the extending plate from other objects based on size, shape, and movement patterns.

What is the expected lifespan of the components in the power socket, especially the photoelectric sensor and controller?

The lifespan of the components would depend on factors such as usage frequency, environmental conditions, and quality of materials used. Regular maintenance and testing may be necessary to ensure long-term functionality.
