Optionally, the multi-purpose charging head further comprises: the clamping mechanism 7 is arranged inside the accommodating cavity 10 and close to the opening, the clamping mechanism 7 has a free state and a clamping state, and when the clamping mechanism 7 is in the clamping state, the clamping mechanism 7 is used for clamping the insertion interface 8.

In a possible implementation manner, in order to facilitate the clamping and fixing of the insertion interface 8 after the insertion interface is inserted into the multipurpose charging head, the multipurpose charging head is provided with a clamping mechanism 7 at the opening of the accommodating cavity 10, wherein the clamping mechanism 7 has a free state and a clamping state, and when the insertion interface 8 is not inserted into the multipurpose charging head, the clamping mechanism 7 is in the free state; when the insertion interface 8 is inserted into the multi-purpose charging head, the clamping mechanism 7 is in a clamping state and clamps the insertion interface 8.

It should be noted that the main function of the clamping mechanism 7 is to clamp the insertion port 8 after the insertion port 8 is inserted into the multi-purpose charging head, and therefore any structure that can achieve the above function can be referred to as the clamping mechanism 7 in this embodiment.

Optionally, the clamping mechanism 7 includes at least two clamping portions 71, and of the at least two clamping portions 71, at least one clamping portion 71 is a movable member, and the movable member is movable relative to the other clamping portions 71 to enable the clamping mechanism 7 to be in a clamping state.

In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 1, there are two clamping portions 71, and both clamping portions 71 are movable members. When the insertion interface 8 is inserted into the multi-purpose charging head, the two movable members act in the opposite direction until the two movable members clamp the insertion interface 8, and at the moment, the clamping mechanism 7 is in a clamping state.

When the insertion interface 8 is inserted into the multi-purpose charging head, the second driving mechanism 73 presses the movable member against the insertion interface 8 to the other clamping portion 71, and at this time, the clamping mechanism 7 is in a clamping state and clamps the insertion interface 8.
