Ask everyone a question: After the phone is charged, will you unplug the charger from the socket in time?
Xiaobian asked a circle of friends around, most of the answer is "do not pull", they feel that it is too troublesome to charge once to unplug once, if it has been plugged into the socket, it is much more convenient.
Not surprisingly, many people are like Xiaobian's friends, trying to save trouble, and the charger does not leave the socket.
But did you know that this act of laziness is very dangerous?!
After charging, I forgot to unplug the charger, and I burned my home
Recently, in Hezhou, Guangxi, the owner forgot to unplug the charger in his home when he went out, and there was a notice of fire in his home shortly after leaving.
Within minutes, the fire rapidly expanded and ignited large quantities of combustible materials in homes.
As soon as the news came out, many netizens said that they would never pull the charger, and they did not expect it to be so dangerous.
Similar incidents of fires caused by forgetting to unplug the charger are not unique.
On October 24, 2019, a fire broke out in the home of an owner of Building 6 of Longdu Garden Community in Nanyang City, Henan Province, when smoke was billowing and the fire was very large, and then firefighters rushed to extinguish the fire, fortunately there were no casualties.
According to the reaction of the owner of the community at the scene of the incident, the owner was not at home at the time, because the mobile phone charger was not unplugged, the explosion then caused a fire, and the fire continued to spread.
In 2017, Mr. Li of Fujian Province did not pull out the mobile phone charger on the socket for a long time, resulting in the home being basically burned out, and the steel bar on the roof of the bedroom was exposed.
The fire also swept upstairs from the bedroom balcony, causing the neighbor's air conditioning, floor-to-ceiling windows, wardrobes to burn out, and other rooms to be smoked.
Finally, after consultation, Mr. Li compensated nearly 70,000 yuan to the neighbors to renovate the house.

It's all a bitter lesson!
Many people think that the charger is small, even if it is plugged in all day, it is fine, but they do not know that there are actually great hidden dangers.
First, consume electricity.
The charger is a transformer and rectifier device that plugs into a socket, and even if the phone is not connected, the circuit board inside the charger is powered on.
It consumes a certain amount of current and is always in operation.
Adrian, a technology author of a foreign media website, tested the iPhone charger, and the results showed that an original Apple charger did not pull out, and the power consumed every month was 130 watts, about 1.5 kilowatt hours per year, that is, 1.5 kWh of electricity.

Second, shorten the life of the charger.
Long-term charger plugged in the socket, because the charger is composed of electronic elements, has been plugged into the socket will have a microcurrent through, a long time will cause heat, easy to cause component aging, greatly shorten the life of the charger.
Third, it is easy to cause fire.
If the charger is placed on the plug board for a long time, it will continue to heat up, thereby accelerating the aging of devices and materials, which is prone to short circuits or high-voltage breakdown, which can cause fire hazards.
So, knock on the blackboard and draw the point: after the phone is charged, be sure to unplug the charger in time!
In addition, when playing mobile phones, you should also pay attention to safety to prevent the mobile phone from being electrocuted or even exploding.
On August 16, 2019, Xiao Liu, a 13-year-old boy in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, was playing with his mobile phone while charging in a fast food restaurant, when he suddenly collapsed on his seat.
The classmates next to them and the other diners found that something was wrong and quickly sent Xiao Liu to the hospital for treatment.
Unfortunately, after 2 hours of rescue in the hospital, Xiao Liu still died.
The rescue doctor once told Xiao Liu's sister that Xiao Liu had signs of electric shock on his body and electric shock marks.
In May 2016, in an Internet café in Liuzhou, Guangxi, an 18-year-old student, Shen Mou, was on the Internet and used his mobile phone to access the computer to charge, when he was suddenly electrocuted, and the student was electrocuted on the spot and unconscious.
When 120 arrived, the student died.
These three tragedies are caused by "charging while playing with mobile phones", so here is a reminder to play mobile phones with caution, but also must pay attention to safety hazards!
Play mobile phone do not make these 5 mistakes, especially dangerous
1. Use miscellaneous charger and charging cable
When charging, you should use the original charger and charging cable, and do not use low-quality miscellaneous chargers and charging cables, there are huge safety risks.
Many mobile phone explosions and electric shock accidents are caused by the use of non-original chargers.
In addition, do not mix the charger charging cable with others, because the battery capacity of different brands of mobile phones is different, and the charging power of different chargers is also different, and it is most appropriate to match each other.
If the original charger charging cable is damaged and aging, it is best to buy the exact same to match the phone.
2. Use inferior charging treasure
In addition to convenient charging, there are also great safety hazards.
Unqualified charging treasures often can not withstand the impact of heavy objects, there may be short circuits, fires, light "burning" bad mobile phones, serious and even cause explosions, causing fires.
Previously, there was a sudden smoke and fire incident in the three areas of the Guangzhou Metro.
Therefore, do not covet small and cheap to buy that kind of very cheap charging treasure, it is best to buy a big brand, more secure.
3, the mobile phone is hot and continue to play
If you find that your phone is hot when you play with your phone, you should stop playing with your phone immediately.
Because the mobile phone battery is overheated to the point of being hot, there is a risk of short circuits inside the battery, and there will be such a performance before the mobile phone catches fire or explodes.
If you do not put down the mobile phone in time, there may be a security risk~
If during this period, the battery also swells, causing the screen to protrude, it means that there is a problem with the built-in battery and it should be replaced immediately.
4. Charge while playing with the phone
In most cases, charging while playing with mobile phones will not have electric shock, explosion and other safety accidents.
But if you use a non-original battery, wire, charger, then you may not be able to say.
In addition, the mobile phone will emit more heat while playing than when not playing, if the battery is abnormal (working at a high temperature for a long time) aging, making the battery protection circuit ineffective.
At this time, continuing to charge will cause the battery to overcharge, causing the battery volume to expand, and eventually spontaneously igniting and exploding.
So, during phone charging, try to play as little as possible!
5. The mobile phone is charged at the head of the bed
In the case of special temperature, humidity and poor contact, lithium batteries may discharge instantaneously to generate a large amount of current and cause natural self-explosion.
Therefore, it is best not to put it next to the bed for a long time to charge, especially when sleeping at night, once the explosion is injured, it is important parts such as the head.
