[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a hidden cover vertical socket includes a shell 1 and a socket module 2. The shell 1 is hollow inside to form an installation cavity 3. The socket module 2 is installed in the installation cavity 3. The shell 1 is provided with an opening 4 for exposing the plug-in side of the socket module 2. A cover 5 is provided at the opening 4. The cover 5 moves circumferentially along the shell 1 so that the cover 5 has a closed state of closing the opening 4 and an open state of opening the opening 4. The circumferential movement can be a flip-up type. For example, one side of the cover 5 is hinged to the shell 1. In this embodiment, the shell 1 is provided with a cavity 6 for inserting the cover 5. The cavity 6 is provided on one side of the installation cavity 3, and the shell 1 is provided with a socket 7 connected to the cavity 6 on the same side of the opening 4. When the cover 5 is in the open state, the cover 5 can be inserted into the cavity 6 through the socket 7. When the cover is opened, it will not hang arbitrarily or affect the use of the surrounding space, thereby optimizing the use of the space and avoiding potential collision or damage.

[0031] By providing an openable and closable cover 5 at the socket module 2 of the vertical socket, the plugging side of the socket module is prevented from being exposed when not in use. At the same time, dust and moisture can be effectively prevented from entering the socket, reducing the risk of electric shock and short circuit, thereby enhancing the safety of the product.

[0032] A first slot 8 is provided on the side of the opening 4 away from the cavity 6 along the height direction of the shell 1, and an elastic clip 9 is provided in the first slot 8. The elastic clip 9 can be made of rubber or other materials. Once the elastic clip 9 is worn or damaged due to long-term use, it can be easily removed from the first slot 8 and replaced with a new elastic clip 9 without replacing the entire socket unit, thereby reducing maintenance costs. Specifically, the first slot 8 is a C-shaped slot, and the elastic clip 9 includes a C-shaped portion that is compatible with the C-shaped slot. After the two are plugged in, the elastic clip 9 can only move along the height direction of the shell 1 relative to the first slot 8.

[0033] A buckle portion 10 is provided on one side of the cover 5 close to the elastic clip strip 9. When the cover 5 is in a closed state, the buckle portion 10 is buckled with the elastic clip strip 9. Through the buckle portion 10 and the elastic clip strip 9, the cover 5 can be reliably locked in the closed state, ensuring that the cover 5 of the socket will not be accidentally opened when not in use, preventing dust, liquid and foreign matter from entering the socket hole, and improving the safety of use. Secondly, the elastic clip strip 9 makes the opening and closing of the cover 5 simple and quick, improving the user experience. At the same time, compared with traditional plastic buckles, this design can withstand more times of opening and closing, enhancing the durability of the product.

[0034] After the cover body 5 is fully inserted into the cavity 6, it at least partially extends out of the socket 7. Generally, only the buckle portion 10 protrudes from the cavity 6. The portion of the cover body 5 extending out of the socket 7 provides a gripping point or a gripping handle for the user, so that the user can more easily grasp and remove the cover body 5.

[0035] The shell 1 includes a rear shell 11, an upper cover 12 and a base 13. A partition 14 is provided in the rear shell 11. The installation cavity 3 and the cavity 6 are separated by the partition 14. A plurality of first connection channels 15 are provided in the installation cavity 3 along the height direction of the shell 1. The upper cover 12 and the base 13 are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the first connection channels 15. In this embodiment, the first connection channels 15 are provided on the inner sides of the four corners of the installation cavity 3. The upper and lower ports of the first connection channels 15 are provided with internal threads. The upper cover 12 and the base 13 are provided with through holes corresponding to the first connection channels 15. Bolts are passed through the through holes and connected with the internal threads, which facilitates the rapid assembly and disassembly of the shell 1, improves manufacturing efficiency and convenience during maintenance. Secondly, the first connection channel 15 is formed by the reinforcing ribs of the inner wall of the installation cavity 3, which enhances the overall strength of the shell 1 and avoids deformation or tilting of the vertical socket due to excessive height.

[0036] The housing 1 also includes at least one front panel 16. The number of sockets is selected according to the actual needs of the user, and the front panels 16 of appropriate size and number are provided to improve the flexibility and practicality of the vertical socket. A second slot 17 is provided on the side of the opening 4 close to the cavity 6 along the height direction of the housing 1. The first slot 8 and the second slot 17 penetrate the rear shell 11 along the height direction of the housing 1. A connecting strip 18 adapted to the corresponding slot is provided on the front panel 16. The connecting strip 18 cooperates with the corresponding slot so that the front panel 16 is only in the height direction of the housing 1 relative to the rear shell 11. The socket module 2 is movable, wherein each slot structure can be adjusted according to actual conditions. It is only necessary to make the front panel 16 and the rear shell 11 plug-in connected in the height direction of the shell 1. A second connecting channel 19 is provided on the inner side of the front panel 16 along the height direction of the shell 1. One end of the second connecting channel 19 is connected to the upper cover 12 or the base 13. In this embodiment, the socket module 2 is arranged in the middle of the vertical socket, so the upper and lower sides of the socket module 2 require the front panel 16, and the two front panels 16 are respectively connected to the upper cover 12 and the base 13 to avoid the front panel 16 from shaking on the shell.

[0037] The front side of the cavity 6 away from the installation cavity 3 is provided with a first hook 20 along the height direction of the shell 1, and the front panel 16 is provided with a second hook 21 adapted to the first hook 20, so as to ensure that the front panel 16 is firmly fixed during use, prevent accidental falling off or displacement, and improve the safety of use. In this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first hook 20 is a groove with a triangular cross section and a protrusion with a triangular cross section, and the second hook 21 is matched therewith.

[0038] The base 13 includes a protrusion 22 inserted into the installation cavity 3. The protrusion 22 is attached to the inner wall of the installation cavity 3 around the base to increase the contact area between the base and the shell, thereby improving the stability and shock resistance of the overall structure. The protrusion 22 is provided with a cable hole 23 to allow the cable to pass through to power the socket module 2.

[0039] The upper cover 12 is provided with a plurality of positioning plates 24 on the end surface facing the shell 1, and the positioning plates 24 abut against the inner walls of the mounting cavity 3 and the cavity 6. In the present embodiment, two positioning plates 24 are provided on the inner wall on each side of the upper cover 12, which increases the contact area between the upper cover 12 and the shell 1 and provides additional support points, thereby improving the stability and bearing capacity of the entire structure.

[0040] An abutment boss 25 is provided on the cover body 5 on the opposite side of the buckle portion 10 toward the cavity 6. When the cover body 5 is in a closed state, the buckle portion 10 is engaged with the elastic clip 9, and the abutment boss 25 is in abutment with the partition 14 to prevent the cover body 5 from detaching from the shell 1. At the same time, the abutment boss 25 also has a counterweight function to prevent the cover body 5 from completely detaching from the cavity 6 during normal use.

[0041] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
