Figure 1As shown, the outdoor socket of this embodiment includes a socket body 100 and a support member 200 connected to the bottom of the socket body 100 for supporting the socket body 100. In order to protect the socket body 100, the outdoor socket of this embodiment also includes a fixed cover 300 and a movable cover 400.

[0036] The fixed cover 300 includes a top wall 310 and a side wall 320. The side wall 320 extends downward from the outer edge of the top wall 310 and encloses the top wall 310 to form an inner cavity and a bottom opening 301 that is connected to the inner cavity and is located below the inner cavity. The socket body 100 is disposed in the inner cavity, and a portion of the support member 200 extends through the bottom opening 301 and is disposed in the inner cavity and is connected to the bottom of the socket body 100. A lateral opening 302 is formed on the side wall 320, and the lateral opening 302 is respectively connected to the inner cavity and the bottom opening 301. Exemplarily, the lateral opening 302 can penetrate the side wall 320 in the axial direction of the side wall 320 according to actual needs.

[0037] In this embodiment, the lateral opening 302 is used to expose the side of the socket body 100 , and the side of the socket body 100 is formed with a plug hole 110 for connecting an external plug.

[0038] The movable cover 400 is movably connected to the side wall 320, for example, the movable cover 400 is rotatably connected or slidably connected to the side wall 320. When the movable cover 400 and the side wall 320 are relatively movable, the lateral opening 302 can be opened and closed to expose the plug hole 110 of the socket body 100. Of course, according to actual needs, the movable cover 400 can be movably connected to the top wall 310, or can be movably connected to both the side wall 320 and the top wall 310 at the same time, which will not be exemplified one by one here.

[0039] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the outdoor socket of this embodiment adopts a cylindrical fixed cover 300. When connecting an external plug, the external plug extends from the lateral opening 302 of the fixed cover 300 to be plugged into the plug hole 110, and then the movable cover 400 closes the lateral opening 302, thereby preventing rainwater from entering from all directions. Moreover, the rainwater falling on the fixed cover 300 flows downward along the surface of the fixed cover 300, thereby reducing the risk of water accumulation, which is conducive to improving the waterproof performance of the outdoor socket.

[0040] Further, continue to combine Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the side wall 320 of this embodiment is cylindrical. The movable cover 400 is curved and slidably connected to the side wall 320 . The movable cover 400 can slide relative to the side wall 320 along the circumference of the side wall 320 .

[0041] Specifically, the movable cover 400 is slidably connected along the side wall 320 toward one side of the socket body 100. A first guide groove 321 formed along the circumference of the side wall 320 is provided at one edge of the lateral opening 302, and a second guide groove 322 formed along the circumference of the side wall 320 is provided at the other edge of the lateral opening 302. The first guide groove 321 and the second guide groove 322 are arranged opposite to each other in the circumference of the side wall 320 and in the axial direction of the side wall 320, the formation positions of the first guide groove 321 and the second guide groove 322 are lower than the bottom of the socket body 100.

[0042] The outdoor socket of this embodiment further includes a pushing member 500, which is connected to the side of the movable cover 400 facing away from the socket body 100, and is used to push the movable cover 400 along the circumference of the side wall 320. Figure 1 As shown, when the movable cover 400 opens the lateral opening 302, a portion of the pushing member 500 is located in the first guide groove 321. Figure 3 As shown, when the movable cover 400 closes the lateral opening 302, a portion of the pushing member 500 is located in the second guide groove 322, so that the first guide groove 321 and the second guide groove 322 guide the pushing member 500 during the process of opening and closing the movable cover 400, so that the movable cover 400 slides in a specified direction.

[0043] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the pushing member 500 includes an adapter seat 510 and a movable rod 520. The adapter seat 510 is arranged on the side of the movable cover 400 facing away from the socket body 100, one end of the movable rod 520 is flipped and connected to the adapter seat 510, and the other end is a free end. When the movable cover 400 opens the lateral opening 302, the adapter seat 510 is located in the first guide groove 321, and the other end of the movable rod 520 is located on the side of the side wall 320 facing away from the movable cover 400. When the movable cover 400 closes the lateral opening 302, the adapter seat 510 is located in the second guide groove 322, and the other end of the movable rod 520 is located on the side of the side wall 320 facing away from the movable cover 400.

[0044] In order to ensure that the movable cover 400 can stably maintain the closed state after closing the lateral opening 302, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a buckle portion 333 is provided on the side of the side wall 320 facing away from the movable cover 400, the buckle portion 333 is arranged adjacent to the second guide groove 322, and the buckle portion 333 forms a slot for snapping into the positioning movable rod 520. When the movable rod 520 is snapped into the slot, the buckle portion 333 limits the movement of the movable cover 400, so that the movable cover 400 maintains a closed state.

[0045] Specifically, in order to further improve the waterproof property of the outdoor socket of this embodiment, in this embodiment, a waterproof strip extending along the axial direction of the side wall 320 is provided on the side of the side wall 320 facing the socket body 100, and the waterproof strip is located at the edge of the lateral opening 302. The waterproof strip is used to abut against the movable cover 400 to fill the gap between the side wall 320 and the movable cover 400, thereby reducing the possibility of rainwater entering the inner cavity from the gap between the side wall 320 and the movable cover 400.

[0046] In some optional examples, a support platform extending along the circumference of the side wall 320 is provided on the side of the side wall 320 facing the socket body 100. The support platform is away from the top wall 310 relative to the first guide groove 321 and the second guide groove 322, and is used to support the end of the movable cover 400 facing away from the top wall 310, so as to realize the movable connection between the side wall 320 and the movable cover 400. Of course, according to actual needs, the side wall 320 and the movable cover 400 can also be in a threaded connection state, or it can be said that one of the side wall 320 and the movable cover 400 has a slide groove and the other has a slider slidably inserted in the slide groove, but the movable connection between the side wall 320 and the movable cover 400 is not limited to this.

[0047] Further, continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, in order to supply power to multiple power supply devices at the same time, in this embodiment, a plurality of plug holes 110 are formed, and the plurality of plug holes 110 are arranged along the first direction. Each plug hole 110 includes at least a live wire hole and a neutral wire hole, and if necessary, a ground wire hole may be provided between the live wire hole and the neutral wire hole. The connecting line between the live wire hole and the neutral wire hole intersects with the first direction, and the first direction is parallel to the axial direction of the side wall 320, so that the entire plug hole 110 is arranged relatively tilted, so that when multiple plugs are connected to the plurality of plug holes 110 respectively, different plugs do not interfere with each other, and the wires of all connected plugs extend outward from the bottom opening 301, which is convenient for arrangement and use.

[0048] Furthermore, the support member 200 of this embodiment includes a connecting rod 210 and a ground pin 220. One end of the connecting rod 210 is connected to the bottom of the socket body 100. The ground pin 220 has a connecting end and a tip that are arranged opposite to each other, the connecting end is connected to the other end of the connecting rod 210, and the tip is used to be inserted and fixed on the ground. When the outdoor socket of this embodiment is used in an outdoor courtyard, it can be inserted into the soil of the courtyard, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the outdoor socket.
