[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a vertical socket with a base decorative cover includes a housing 1 and a base 2. The base 2 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 3, and the fixing holes 3 are usually provided at the four corners of the base 2. The base 2 is fixed to the ground through bolts passing through the fixing holes 3. The vertical socket also includes a decorative cover 4. The decorative cover 4 is provided with an opening 5 for the housing 1 to pass through. The decorative cover 4 can be inserted from the housing 1 after the base 2 is fixed to the ground. The decorative cover 4 covers the base 2, the base 2 and the exposed bolts, and visually provides a neater and more beautiful appearance. At the same time, since the bolts are covered by the decorative cover 4, the problem of rust or damage that may occur due to exposure to the external environment is reduced, which effectively prolongs the service life of the vertical socket and reduces maintenance costs.

[0029] The decorative cover body 4 is provided with an elastic buckle 6 facing the base 2 and along the height direction of the shell 1, and a slot 7 is provided on the base 2 corresponding to the elastic buckle 6.

[0033] A second guiding slope 611 is disposed at the end of the vertical plate portion 61 . The second guiding slope 611 is inclined in the same direction as the first guiding slope 621 , which further enhances the guiding effect and makes the elastic buckle 6 enter the card slot 7 more smoothly.

[0034] The decorative cover 4 is provided with vertical grooves 63 on both sides of the vertical plate portion 61 along the height direction of the housing 1 . The vertical grooves 63 allow the elastic buckle 6 to have better elasticity within the limited space of the decorative cover 4 .

[0035] The side wall of the base 2 is provided with a plurality of holes 21. In the present embodiment, arc-shaped holes 21 are provided on all four sides of the base 2, providing channels for electric wires or other connecting wires, making the internal wiring of the vertical socket more convenient and facilitating the organization and maintenance of the internal circuit. The side wall of the decorative cover 4 is provided with knock-off plates 41 corresponding to the holes 21. The corresponding knock-off plates 41 are knocked off according to actual needs. At the same time, the holes are also used for disassembling the decorative cover 4.

[0036] The shell 1 includes a main frame 101, two functional vertical panels 102 and an upper cover 103. The cross-section of the main frame 101 is H-shaped, which can provide good structural stability and bearing capacity. The two functional vertical panels 102 are respectively plugged into the two sides of the main frame 101. The plug-in structure refers to the plug-in structure commonly used in the field of socket technology in the prior art. Functional parts are arranged on the functional vertical panels 102. The functional parts include a standard power jack, a USB port, an Ethernet socket, a telephone port, and an audio and video interface. Functional parts can be arranged on both sides of the main frame 101, thereby improving the functionality and practicality of the vertical socket.

[0037] A positioning protrusion 201 is provided on the base 2 toward the shell 1 and is adapted to the contour of the inner wall at the bottom of the shell 1. The opening 5 is provided with an extension plate portion 501 toward the base 2 and along the height direction of the shell 1. A groove 8 for the shell 1 to be embedded is formed between the extension plate portion 501 and the positioning protrusion 201, which can ensure that the installation position of the shell 1 on the base 2 is correct, making the assembly process more accurate and efficient, and further improving the connection strength between the shell 1 and the base.

[0038] The base 2 is provided with a wiring hole 9 and a grounding hole 10. The related cables of the functional parts can pass through the hole 21 and the wiring hole 9 in sequence to connect to the corresponding functional parts. The grounding hole 10 allows the equipment to be effectively grounded to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.
