1. A power adapter, comprising:
a base, having a mounting cavity;
a plug-in mechanism, having a plug body rotatably connected to the base and a swinging piece connected to the plug body and disposed in the mounting cavity; the swinging piece capable of performing circular motion around an axis of the plug body to drive the plug body to rotate; the swinging piece switchable between a first swinging position and a second swinging position through the circular motion; the plug body capable of electrically connecting with an external power supply when the swinging piece is at the second swinging position;
a reset mechanism, connected to the swinging piece and the base; the reset mechanism capable of applying a reset force to the swing piece and leading the swing piece to move towards the second swinging position when the swinging piece is at the first swinging position;
a limiting mechanism, having a limiting position and an unlocking position; the limiting mechanism capable of limiting the swinging piece to move when the swinging piece is at the first swinging position and the limiting mechanism is at the limiting position; the limiting mechanism further capable of releasing the limit of the swinging piece to cause the reset mechanism to release the reset force when the limiting mechanism is at the unlocking position;
wherein the reset mechanism comprises a reset piece connected to the swinging piece and a sliding piece connected to the reset piece; and
the sliding piece is slidably connected to the base and capable of sliding between a first sliding position and a second sliding position; the reset piece is capable of applying a reset force to the swing piece and leading the swing piece to move towards the second swing position when the swing piece is at the first swing position; and the reset piece is capable of releasing the reset force to the swing piece and leading the swing piece to move from the first swing position to the second swing position, then leading the sliding piece to move from the first sliding position to the second sliding position.
