Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connection, in particular to a connection component and a cooking device. Background Art

[0002] At present, in outdoor cooking scenarios, users usually carry a variety of electrical devices, which are used through the connection of signal cables. In related technologies, the signal cable part uses rubber plugs to seal the interface, but during use, the rubber plugs are often not closed, which makes it easy for dust or water to enter under outdoor conditions, affecting the operation of the internal circuit and the signal connection with the outside. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technology.

[0004] In view of this, an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention provides a connection assembly.

[0005] An embodiment of a second aspect of the present invention provides a cooking device.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, an embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model provides a connection assembly, including: a signal socket, the signal socket includes a base structure and a socket body, and a portion of the socket body protrudes from the base structure; a cover body, elastically connected to the base structure, and the movement range of the cover body relative to the base structure includes a first position and a second position; wherein the cover body is moved to the first position by an external force, and the cover body exposes the portion of the socket body protruding from the base structure; when the external force is released, the cover body moves from the first position to the second position, and the cover body covers the portion of the socket body protruding from the base structure.

[0007] According to the connection assembly proposed by the utility model, it includes a signal socket and a cover body. Specifically, the signal socket is the core part of the connection assembly and is responsible for transmitting signals. It is composed of a base structure and a socket body. Among them, a part of the socket body protrudes from the base structure. This design is convenient for users to insert signal lines, and it is also the main part that needs to be covered when the cover body is closed. The cover body is a key part for protecting the signal socket, and it is connected to the base structure by an elastic connection. The cover body can move between different positions, specifically including a first position and a second position. The design of the cover body is to achieve automatic opening and closing functions to protect the signal socket from the influence of the external environment.

[0008] The elastic connection between the cover and the base structure is the key to achieving automatic opening and closing of the cover. This connection allows the cover to move to a first position (open state) when an external force is applied, and automatically return to a second position (closed state) after the external force is removed. The elastic connection may be achieved by springs or other elastic elements that store and release energy during the movement of the cover, thereby promoting the automatic closing of the cover.

[0009] It can be understood that the range of movement of the cover body relative to the base structure is determined by its design. The first position exposes the protruding portion of the socket body, which is convenient for users to connect signal lines. The second position is a state where the cover body covers the protruding portion of the socket body. At this time, the cover body provides protection for the socket, preventing dust, moisture, etc. from invading the interior of the socket, and ensuring stable signal transmission.

[0010] The automatic closing function of the cover effectively prevents rain, dust and other foreign substances from invading the signal socket, extending the service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs. When in use, the user only needs to push the cover to the first position to insert the signal line, and release it after use. The cover automatically returns to the closed state without manual operation, which improves the user experience. The automatically closed cover reduces the chance of electronic components being exposed to the outside and reduces the risk of safety accidents caused by environmental factors.

[0011] To sum up, this design scheme realizes the automatic protection function of the signal socket, which not only ensures the stable transmission of the signal, but also improves the durability and user experience of the product.

[0012] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cover body and the base structure are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft, and the connecting assembly further includes: a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft.

[0013] In this technical solution, the cover and the base structure are connected by a rotating shaft, which provides a mechanical basis for the opening and closing of the cover. The addition of a torsion spring further enriches the function of this mechanism, allowing the cover to automatically return from an open state to a closed state. The rotating shaft provides a fixed rotation center between the cover and the base structure, allowing the cover to rotate around this center. This connection method ensures that the movement of the cover is controllable and stable, limited to the degree of freedom of rotation, and avoids other unexpected movements, such as sliding or displacement.

[0014] Through the shaft connection, the opening and closing actions of the cover become smooth and accurate. The user can easily push the cover to the open position (first position) when in use. At the same time, this connection method also provides conditions for the correct installation and function of the torsion spring.

[0015] The torsion spring is mounted on the rotating shaft, and its main function is to provide power for the automatic closing of the cover. When the cover is pushed to the open position, the torsion spring is twisted and stores energy. Once the external force disappears, the stored energy will be released, driving the cover to automatically rotate back to the closed position (the second position). The presence of the torsion spring significantly improves the automatic closing ability of the cover, ensuring that the cover can be closed in time when the signal socket is not in use, effectively preventing dust, water and other foreign substances from invading the socket, and protecting the cleanliness and functional integrity of the socket. This automatic closing function greatly improves the convenience and safety of the product.

[0016] In some technical solutions, optionally, the base structure includes: a substrate, on which is provided an opening for the socket body to pass through; a first connecting plate, which is provided on the substrate, the first connecting plate is perpendicular to the substrate, and the rotating shaft is connected to the connecting plate.

[0017] In this technical solution, the construction of the base structure further clarifies the physical layout and functional implementation of the signal socket. The base structure includes a substrate and a first connecting plate, as well as an opening and a rotating shaft that interact with these components. This structure provides important support for the stability, operability and protection of the signal socket. The substrate is the basic part of the base structure and provides physical support for the entire signal socket assembly. The substrate is provided with an opening for the socket body to pass through. This opening is a channel for the signal line to connect, ensuring that the signal line can be smoothly connected to the socket body. The existence of the substrate provides a stable installation foundation for the entire signal socket assembly, and the design of the opening ensures the realization of the basic function of the signal socket-signal transmission. In addition, the first connecting plate is arranged on the substrate and is perpendicular to the substrate. It provides a mounting point for connecting the rotating shaft. The installation position and direction of the rotating shaft are determined by the first connecting plate, which is crucial to ensure that the cover can be opened and closed correctly.

[0018] The setting of the first connecting plate not only enhances the three-dimensional sense and stability of the entire base structure, but also provides a key support point for the rotation mechanism of the cover. Through the connection between the rotating shaft and the first connecting plate, the cover can rotate around the rotating shaft to achieve the opening and closing action. This design ensures the accuracy and stability of the cover during the opening and closing process.

[0019] The rotating shaft is connected to the first connecting plate and is the central axis of rotation of the cover body. The existence of the rotating shaft enables the cover body to rotate around a fixed axis to achieve the opening and closing function.

[0020] The setting of the rotating shaft makes the opening and closing action of the cover body smooth and accurate. Since the position and direction of the rotating shaft are determined by the first connecting plate, the consistency and reliability of the opening and closing action of the cover body are ensured. In addition, the design of the torsion spring sleeved on the rotating shaft further realizes the automatic closing function of the cover body, and improves the convenience and protection of the signal socket.

[0021] Through the design of the base plate and the first connecting plate, as well as the precise installation of the shaft, this design provides a stable and reliable physical structure for the signal socket. This structure not only ensures the realization of the basic functions of the signal socket, but also greatly improves the product's protection performance and user experience through the automatic opening and closing mechanism of the cover. The design of the entire base structure shows careful consideration of details, ensuring the excellent performance of the signal socket in terms of practicality and durability.

[0022] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cover body includes a main body structure adapted to the base plate and a second connecting plate arranged corresponding to the first connecting plate; wherein the rotating shaft passes through the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate to realize the rotational connection between the cover body and the base structure.

[0023] In this technical solution, the cover body not only includes a main body structure adapted to the substrate, but also includes a second connecting plate arranged corresponding to the first connecting plate, and the cover body is rotatably connected to the base structure through a rotating shaft. The main body structure of the cover body is adapted to the substrate, and the cover body is designed to accurately cover the signal socket on the substrate to provide necessary protection. The second connecting plate is arranged corresponding to the first connecting plate (arranged on the substrate), and the second connecting plate of the cover body is structurally matched with the first connecting plate to facilitate the rotation shaft to pass through and connect the two. The rotating shaft passes through the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, which is the key to realizing the rotation connection between the cover body and the base structure. The rotating shaft provides a rotation center, allowing the cover body to rotate around this center, thereby opening or closing. Through the rotating shaft connection, the cover body can rotate smoothly and accurately, which not only provides a good user experience, but also ensures the positioning accuracy and repeatability of the cover body.

[0024] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cover body and the base structure are slidably connected via a slide rail, and the connecting assembly further includes: a spring, which is arranged at one end of the slide rail.

[0025] In this technical solution, the cover body and the base structure are slidably connected through a slide rail, which allows the cover body to move in a certain direction on the slide rail. In addition, a spring is set at one end of the slide rail to provide a closing force to ensure that the cover body can automatically return to the closed position. Specifically, the slide rail provides a guiding and supporting structure so that the cover body can move smoothly along the track of the slide rail. The design of the slide rail usually includes a track and a slider, wherein the slider is connected to the cover body and the track is fixed to the base structure.

[0026] The design of the slide rail ensures the stability and guidance of the cover movement, avoiding the cover from deflecting or jamming during movement. In addition, the slide rail can also bear the weight of the cover and resist the intrusion of external environmental factors such as dust and moisture to a certain extent.

[0027] When the cover is pushed to the open position, the spring is compressed and stores energy. Once the external force disappears, the spring will try to restore its original shape and release energy, thereby pushing the cover to slide along the slide rail back to the closed position, ensuring that the cover can be closed in time when the signal socket is not in use, effectively preventing dust, water and other foreign substances from invading the socket, protecting the socket's cleanliness and complete functionality. In addition, the spring can also provide a certain damping effect, making the closing action of the cover smoother.

[0028] In some technical solutions, optionally, the base structure includes: a base plate, a slide rail is provided on the base plate, and one end of the spring abuts against the base plate.

[0029] In this technical solution, the base structure includes a substrate, a spring and a slide rail. The design of the base structure further clarifies the connection method between the cover body and the base, as well as the action mechanism of the spring. Specifically, the substrate is the main part of the base structure, which provides a stable platform for the entire signal socket assembly. The substrate is provided with a slide rail, which enables the cover body to move smoothly along a predetermined path and provides precise guidance. The design of the slide rail ensures the stability and guidance of the movement of the cover body, avoiding the displacement or jamming of the cover body during the movement. In addition, the slide rail can also bear the weight of the cover body and resist the intrusion of external environmental factors such as dust and moisture to a certain extent.

[0030] One end of the spring is in contact with the base plate, and the other end is connected to the cover. When the cover is moved to the open position, the spring is stretched and stores energy. When the external force is removed, the spring will try to return to its original state, releasing energy and pushing the cover to slide along the slide rail back to the closed position.

[0031] Through this design, the cover of the signal socket can be opened and closed automatically, which not only improves the protection capability of the product, but also optimizes the user's operating experience, making the product more reliable and durable in outdoor or harsh environments.

[0032] In some technical solutions, optionally, the cover body includes a sliding structure slidably connected to the slide rail; wherein the sliding connection between the cover body and the base structure is achieved through relative sliding between the sliding structure and the slide rail.

[0033] In this technical solution, the cover body realizes relative movement with the base structure through a sliding connection with the slide rail, allowing the cover body to be easily opened when needed, and automatically or manually closed when not needed. The sliding structure of the cover body is the part that directly contacts the slide rail and slides along it. The design of this structure needs to ensure that the cover body can move smoothly and accurately on the slide rail. The design of the sliding structure allows the cover body to slide freely on the slide rail, providing a simple and effective mechanism to open and close the cover body. This design usually includes a slider or other similar sliding elements that contact the surface of the slide rail to reduce friction and ensure smooth movement. When the user needs to access the signal socket, the sliding structure can be operated to push the cover body along the slide rail to move it from a closed position to an open position to expose the socket. Once the socket is used, the user can release the cover body, and if there is an automatic closing mechanism such as a spring, the cover body will automatically slide back to the closed position along the slide rail. If there is no automatic closing mechanism, the user can manually slide the cover body back to the closed position.

[0034] In some technical solutions, optionally, a projection of the cover body on the plane where the substrate is located is located inside the substrate.

[0035] In this technical solution, by limiting the position of the cover, that is, the projection of the cover on the plane where the substrate is located is located within the substrate, the design and position of the cover are determined relative to the substrate, and when viewed from the perspective of the substrate, the projection of the cover completely falls within the plane occupied by the substrate. The design of the cover ensures that it does not exceed the plane boundary of the substrate in the closed state, which helps to save space, especially when designing products in limited space.

[0036] Since the cover does not extend beyond the plane of the base plate when closed, it helps to better protect the socket body and prevent accidental collision or damage. At the same time, the projection of the cover body inside the base plate can reduce the interference of external factors such as dust and moisture on the socket body.

[0037] In some technical solutions, optionally, it also includes: a sealing structure, which is arranged between the cover body and the base structure.

[0038] In this technical solution, a sealing structure is provided, which can effectively prevent moisture from penetrating into the socket through the gap between the cover and the base structure, protecting the internal electronic components from damage in a humid environment. The sealing structure can also prevent dust and other fine particles from entering the socket, reducing the possibility of poor contact or short circuit problems caused by dust accumulation.

[0039] Of course, the sealed structure helps maintain the stability of signal transmission and prevents external factors from interfering with signal quality.

[0040] An embodiment of the second aspect of the present application provides a cooking device, including: a cooking body; and a connecting component, which is arranged on the cooking body.

[0041] The cooking device provided in the present application includes a cooking body and a connecting component. The cooking body is used for cooking, and the connecting component is used for connecting an external device.

[0042] Since the cooking device includes any of the above-mentioned connecting components, it has the beneficial effects of any of the above-mentioned connecting components, which will not be described in detail here.

[0043] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following description or will be understood through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0054] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0055] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the embodiments of the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0056] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 7 Some embodiments according to the present invention are described.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, a connection component 100 proposed in this embodiment includes a signal socket 102 and a cover body 104. Specifically, the signal socket 102 is the core part of the connection component 100 and is responsible for transmitting signals. It is composed of a base structure 1022 and a socket body 1024. Among them, a part of the socket body 1024 protrudes from the base structure 1022. This design is convenient for users to insert signal lines. It is also the main part that needs to be covered when the cover body 104 is closed. The cover body 104 is a key part to protect the signal socket 102. It is connected to the base structure 1022 by an elastic connection. The cover body 104 can move between different positions, specifically including the following: Figure 1 The first position shown and Figure 2 The cover 104 is designed to realize the automatic opening and closing function, protecting the signal socket 102 from the influence of the external environment.

[0058] The elastic connection between the cover 104 and the base structure 1022 is the key to realize the automatic opening and closing of the cover 104. This connection mode allows the cover 104 to move to the first position (open state) when subjected to an external force, and automatically return to the second position (closed state) after the external force is removed. The elastic connection may be realized by a spring 112 or other elastic elements, which store and release energy during the movement of the cover 104, thereby promoting the automatic closing of the cover 104.

[0059] It can be understood that the range of movement of the cover 104 relative to the base structure is determined by its design. The first position exposes the protruding portion of the socket body 1024, which is convenient for users to connect signal lines. The second position is a state where the cover 104 covers the protruding portion of the socket body 1024. At this time, the cover 104 provides protection for the socket, preventing dust, moisture, etc. from invading the interior of the socket, and ensuring stable signal transmission.

[0060] The automatic closing function of the cover 104 effectively prevents rain, dust and other foreign substances from invading the signal socket 102, thereby extending the service life of the device and reducing maintenance costs. When in use, the user only needs to push the cover 104 to the first position to insert the signal line, and release it after use. The cover 104 automatically returns to the closed state without manual operation, which improves the user experience. The automatically closed cover 104 reduces the chance of electronic components being exposed to the outside and reduces the risk of safety accidents caused by environmental factors.

[0061] In summary, this design scheme realizes the automatic protection function of the signal socket 102, which not only ensures the stable transmission of the signal, but also improves the durability and user experience of the product.

[0062] In some embodiments, optionally, Figure 3 As shown, the cover 104 and the base structure 1022 are connected in rotation by the rotating shaft 106, which provides a mechanical basis for the opening and closing of the cover 104. The addition of the torsion spring 108 further enriches the function of this mechanism, so that the cover 104 can automatically return to the closed state from the open state. The rotating shaft 106 provides a fixed rotation center between the cover 104 and the base structure 1022, so that the cover 104 can rotate around this center. This connection method ensures that the movement of the cover 104 is controllable and stable, limited to the degree of freedom of rotation, and avoids other unexpected movements, such as sliding or displacement.

[0063] The cover 104 can be opened and closed smoothly and accurately by the shaft 106. The user can easily push the cover 104 to the open position (first position) when in use. At the same time, this connection mode also provides conditions for the correct installation and function of the torsion spring 108.

[0064] The torsion spring 108 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 106, and its main function is to provide power for the automatic closing of the cover body 104. When the cover body 104 is pushed to the open position, the torsion spring 108 is twisted and stores energy. Once the external force disappears, the stored energy will be released, driving the cover body 104 to automatically rotate back to the closed position (second position). The presence of the torsion spring 108 significantly improves the automatic closing ability of the cover body 104, ensuring that the cover body 104 can be closed in time when the signal socket 102 is not in use, effectively preventing dust, water and other foreign substances from invading the socket, and protecting the cleanliness and functional integrity of the socket. This automatic closing function greatly improves the convenience and safety of the product.

[0065] In some embodiments, optionally, the structure of the base structure 1022 further clarifies the physical layout and functional implementation of the signal socket 102. The base structure 1022 includes a substrate 1032 and a first connecting plate 1034, as well as Figure 6As shown, the opening 1033 and the rotating shaft 106 interacting with these components. This structure provides important support for the stability, operability and protection of the signal socket 102. The substrate 1032 is the basic part of the base structure 1022, providing physical support for the entire signal socket 102 assembly. The substrate 1032 is provided with an opening 1033 for the socket body 1024 to pass through. This opening is a channel for the signal line to connect, ensuring that the signal line can be smoothly connected to the socket body 1024. The existence of the substrate 1032 provides a stable installation foundation for the entire signal socket 102 assembly, and the design of the opening ensures the realization of the basic function of the signal socket 102-signal transmission. In addition, the first connecting plate 1034 is arranged on the substrate 1032, perpendicular to the substrate 1032. It provides a mounting point for connecting the rotating shaft 106. The mounting position and direction of the rotating shaft 106 are determined by the first connecting plate 1034, which is crucial to ensure that the cover 104 can open and close correctly.

[0066] The first connecting plate 1034 not only enhances the three-dimensional sense and stability of the entire base structure 1022, but also provides a key support point for the rotation mechanism of the cover 104. Through the connection between the rotating shaft 106 and the first connecting plate 1034, the cover 104 can rotate around the rotating shaft 106 to achieve the opening and closing action. This design ensures the accuracy and stability of the cover 104 during the opening and closing process.

[0067] The rotating shaft 106 is connected to the first connecting plate 1034 and is the central axis of rotation of the cover body 104. The existence of the rotating shaft 106 enables the cover body 104 to rotate around a fixed axis to achieve the opening and closing function.

[0068] The setting of the rotating shaft 106 makes the opening and closing action of the cover 104 smooth and accurate. Since the position and direction of the rotating shaft 106 are determined by the first connecting plate 1034, the consistency and reliability of the opening and closing action of the cover 104 are guaranteed. In addition, the design of the torsion spring 108 sleeved on the rotating shaft 106 further realizes the automatic closing function of the cover 104, and improves the convenience and protection of the signal socket 102.

[0069] Through the design of the base plate 1032 and the first connecting plate 1034, and the precise installation of the rotating shaft 106, this design provides a stable and reliable physical structure for the signal socket 102. This structure not only ensures the realization of the basic functions of the signal socket 102, but also greatly improves the product's protection performance and user experience through the automatic opening and closing mechanism of the cover 104. The design of the entire base structure 1022 shows careful consideration of details, ensuring the excellent performance of the signal socket 102 in terms of practicality and durability.

[0070] In a specific embodiment, the cover 104 includes not only a body structure 1042 adapted to the substrate 1032, but also a second connection plate 1044 arranged corresponding to the first connection plate 1034, and the cover 104 is rotatably connected to the base structure 1022 via the rotation shaft 106. The body structure 1042 of the cover 104 is adapted to the substrate 1032, and the cover 104 is designed to accurately cover the signal socket 102 on the substrate 1032 to provide necessary protection, and the second connection plate 1044 is arranged corresponding to the first connection plate 1034 (arranged on the substrate 1032), and the second connection plate 1044 of the cover 104 is structurally matched with the first connection plate 1034, so that the rotation shaft 106 passes through and connects the two. The rotation shaft 106 passes through the first connection plate 1034 and the second connection plate 1044, which is the key to realize the rotation connection between the cover 104 and the base structure 1022. The shaft 106 provides a rotation center, allowing the cover 104 to rotate around the center to open or close. Through the connection of the shaft 106, the cover 104 can rotate smoothly and accurately, which not only provides a good user experience, but also ensures the positioning accuracy and repeatability of the cover 104.

[0071] In another specific embodiment, the cover 104 and the base structure 1022 are slidably connected via a slide rail 110, which allows the cover 104 to move in a certain direction on the slide rail 110. In addition, a spring 112 is provided at one end of the slide rail 110 to provide a closing force to ensure that the cover 104 can automatically return to the closed position. Specifically, the slide rail 110 provides a guiding and supporting structure so that the cover 104 can move smoothly along the track of the slide rail 110. The design of the slide rail 110 generally includes a track and a slider, wherein the slider is connected to the cover 104 and the track is fixed to the base structure 1022.

[0072] The design of the slide rail 110 ensures the stability and guidance of the movement of the cover 104, and avoids the displacement or jamming of the cover 104 during the movement. In addition, the slide rail 110 can also bear the weight of the cover 104 and resist the intrusion of external environmental factors such as dust and moisture to a certain extent.

[0073] When the cover 104 is pushed to the open position, the spring 112 is compressed and stores energy. Once the external force disappears, the spring 112 will try to restore its original shape and release energy, thereby pushing the cover 104 to slide along the slide rail 110 back to the closed position, ensuring that the cover 104 can be closed in time when the signal socket 102 is not in use, effectively preventing dust, water and other foreign substances from invading the socket, and protecting the cleanliness and complete function of the socket. In addition, the spring 112 can also provide a certain damping effect, making the closing action of the cover 104 more stable.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, optionally, the base structure 1022 includes a substrate 1032, a spring 112 and a slide rail 110, and the design of the base structure 1022 further clarifies the connection method between the cover body 104 and the base, as well as the action mechanism of the spring 112. Specifically, the substrate 1032 is the main part of the base structure 1022, which provides a stable platform for the entire signal socket 102 assembly. The substrate 1032 is provided with a slide rail 110, which enables the cover body 104 to move smoothly along a predetermined path and provides precise guidance. The design of the slide rail 110 ensures the stability and guidance of the movement of the cover body 104, and avoids the displacement or jamming of the cover body 104 during the movement. In addition, the slide rail 110 can also bear the weight of the cover body 104 and resist the intrusion of external environmental factors such as dust and moisture to a certain extent.

[0075] One end of the spring 112 abuts against the base plate 1032, and the other end is connected to the cover 104. When the cover 104 is moved to the open position, the spring 112 is stretched and stores energy. When the external force is removed, the spring 112 will try to return to its original state, release energy, and push the cover 104 to slide along the slide rail 110 back to the closed position.

[0076] Through this design, the cover 104 of the signal socket 102 can be opened and closed automatically, which not only improves the protection capability of the product, but also optimizes the user's operating experience, making the product more reliable and durable outdoors or in harsh environments.

[0077] In a specific embodiment, optionally, Figure 4 As shown, the cover 104 achieves relative movement with the base structure 1022 by slidingly connecting with the slide rail 110, allowing the cover 104 to be easily opened when needed, and automatically or manually closed when not needed. The sliding structure 114 of the cover 104 is the part that directly contacts the slide rail 110 and slides along it. The design of this structure needs to ensure that the cover 104 can move smoothly and accurately on the slide rail 110. The design of the sliding structure 114 allows the cover 104 to slide freely on the slide rail 110, providing a simple and effective mechanism to open and close the cover 104. This design usually includes a slider or other similar sliding elements that contact the surface of the slide rail 110 to reduce friction and ensure smooth movement. When the user needs to access the signal socket 102, the sliding structure 114 can be operated to push the cover 104 along the slide rail 110 to move it from a closed position to an open position to expose the socket. Once the socket is finished, the user can release the cover 104, and if there is an automatic closing mechanism such as a spring 112, the cover 104 will automatically slide back to the closed position along the slide rail 110. If there is no automatic closing mechanism, the user can manually slide the cover 104 back to the closed position.

[0078] In a specific embodiment, optionally, by limiting the position of the cover 104, that is, the projection of the cover 104 on the plane where the substrate 1032 is located is located within the substrate 1032, the design and position of the cover 104 are determined relative to the substrate 1032, and when viewed from the perspective of the substrate 1032, the projection of the cover 104 completely falls within the plane occupied by the substrate 1032. The design of the cover 104 ensures that it does not exceed the plane boundary of the substrate 1032 in the closed state, which helps to save space, especially when designing products in a limited space.

[0079] Since the cover 104 does not extend beyond the plane of the substrate 1032 when closed, it helps to better protect the socket body 1024 and prevent accidental collision or damage. At the same time, the projection of the cover 104 is located inside the substrate 1032, which can reduce the interference of external factors such as dust, moisture, etc. on the socket body 1024.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, a sealing structure 116 is provided, which can effectively prevent moisture from penetrating into the socket through the gap between the cover 104 and the base structure 1022, protecting the internal electronic components from damage in a humid environment. The sealing structure 116 can also prevent dust and other fine particles from entering the socket, reducing the poor contact or short circuit problems that may be caused by dust accumulation.

[0081] Of course, the sealing structure 116 helps maintain the stability of signal transmission and prevents external factors from interfering with signal quality.

[0082] Furthermore, the sealing structure 116 is usually made of a material with good elasticity, such as rubber, silicone or special plastic, to ensure good sealing performance and durability. Various sealing forms such as O-rings, sealing pads, and sealants can be used, and the most suitable sealing method can be selected according to the specific use environment and requirements.

[0083] The sealing structure 116 needs to be accurately mounted between the cover 104 and the base structure 1022 to ensure that an effective seal is formed when the cover 104 is closed.

[0084] The addition of the sealing structure 116 significantly improves the protection level of the socket assembly, allowing it to adapt to the use requirements of more harsh environments.
