[0055] In order to illustrate the technical solution described in this application, a detailed description is given below in conjunction with specific drawings and embodiments.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a socket 10, including a housing 100 and a socket 10 module, wherein the housing 100 has an inner cavity, and the socket 10 module is arranged in the inner cavity. The socket 10 module includes a lifting cover 200, a lifting structure 300 and a reversing structure 400. The lifting cover 200 is movably mounted on the housing 100 along a first direction, and the lifting cover 200 is provided with a plug hole 220 along the first direction. The lifting structure 300 is movably connected to the housing 100, and at least part of the lifting structure 300 is opposite to the plug hole 220. The reversing structure 400 has a first rotating part 430, a first sliding part 410 and a second sliding part 420, wherein the first sliding part 410 and the second sliding part 420 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the first rotating part 430, and the first rotating part 430 is rotatably mounted on the housing 100. The first rotating part 430 can rotate around a first axis relative to the housing 100, and the first axis is arranged at an angle with the first direction. The first sliding part 410 is slidably connected to the lifting cover 200, and the second sliding part 420 is slidably connected to the lifting structure 300. The first sliding part 410 is used to drive the lifting cover 200 to move between the starting position and the working position. When the lifting cover 200 is in the working position, part of the lifting cover 200 extends out of the inner cavity.

[0057] The jack 220 is used for the power connection terminal 21 of the plug 20 to be inserted into the inner cavity, and a conductive structure is arranged in the inner cavity. The power connection terminal 21 of the plug 20 at least includes a neutral wire connection terminal 21 and a live wire connection terminal 21, and the conductive structure includes a neutral wire conductive structure and a live wire conductive structure. The neutral wire conductive structure is used to be electrically connected to the neutral wire and the neutral wire connection terminal 21, respectively, so that the neutral wire connection terminal 21 is electrically connected to the neutral wire. The live wire conductive structure is used to be electrically connected to the live wire and the live wire connection terminal 21, respectively, so that the live wire connection terminal 21 is electrically connected to the live wire. Optionally, the power connection terminal 21 may also include a ground wire connection terminal 21, and the conductive structure also includes a ground wire connection structure, and the ground wire conductive structure is used to be electrically connected to the ground wire and the ground wire connection terminal 21, respectively, so that the ground wire connection terminal 21 is electrically connected to the ground wire. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the sockets 220 on the lifting cover 200 can be two, three, five or more, and the part power terminal 21, the live wire power terminal 21 and the ground wire power terminal 21 are respectively inserted into the inner cavity through different sockets 220.

[0058] The first sliding part 410 and the second sliding part 420 are connected to opposite sides of the first rotating part 430, respectively. Specifically, the first sliding part 410 and the second sliding part 420 are connected to the first rotating part 430, respectively, and the first sliding part 410 and the second sliding part 420 are located at opposite sides of the first rotating part 430. The first sliding part 410 and the second sliding part 420 can be connected to the first rotating part 430 by welding, gluing, clamping or screwing. Alternatively, the first sliding part 410, the second sliding part 420 and the first rotating part 430 are connected by integral injection molding or integral casting, that is, the first sliding part 410, the second sliding part 420 and the first rotating part 430 can be an integral structure.

[0059] The second sliding part 420 is slidably connected to the lifting structure 300, specifically, the second sliding part 420 can slide relative to the lifting structure 300 along the third direction. The third direction is set at an angle to the first direction. In an optional embodiment, the first direction and the third direction are set vertically. The lifting structure moves along the first direction driven by the power connection end 21 of the plug 20, thereby driving the second sliding part 420 to move along the first direction. In this process, the second sliding part 420 also moves along the third direction, so that the first rotating part 430 rotates around the first axis. It is worth noting that since the second sliding part 420 is fixedly connected to the first rotating part 430, that is, since the distance between the second sliding part 420 and the first axis remains unchanged, when the second sliding part 420 moves in the first direction and the third direction at the same time, the second sliding part 420 actually rotates around the first axis.

[0060] The first sliding part 410 is slidably connected to the lifting cover 200, specifically, the first sliding part 410 can slide along the third direction relative to the lifting cover 200. The lifting structure 300 moves along the first direction driven by the power connection end 21 of the plug 20, thereby driving the second sliding part 420 to move along the first direction, so that the first rotating part 430 rotates around the first axis, and the first rotating part 430 drives the first sliding part 410 and the second sliding part 420 to rotate around the first axis. In the process of the first sliding part 410 rotating around the first rotation axis, the first sliding part 410 is displaced in the first direction and the third direction at the same time.

[0061] Since the first sliding part 410 and the second sliding part 420 are respectively located on opposite sides of the first rotating part 430, when the first rotating part 430 rotates, the first sliding part 410 and the second sliding part 420 move in opposite directions in the first direction. For example, the first direction is a vertical direction, when the lifting structure 300 moves downward in the vertical direction, it can drive the second sliding part to move downward in the vertical direction, and the first rotating part 430 rotates around the first axis, thereby causing the first sliding part to move upward in the vertical direction, and the first sliding part 410 drives the lifting cover 200 to move upward, so that the lifting cover 200 moves to the working position.

[0062] When the lifting cover 200 is in the working position, part of the lifting cover 200 extends out of the inner cavity, specifically, part of the lifting cover 200 protrudes from the outer surface of the shell 100. Exemplarily, a first opening is provided through the side wall of the shell 100 along a first direction, and the first opening is connected to the outside and the inner cavity respectively. The lifting cover 200 is movably mounted on the first opening along the first direction, and the lifting cover 200 extends out of the inner cavity from the first opening.

[0063] In summary, compared with the prior art, in the socket 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the power connection end 21 of the plug 20 can be inserted into the inner cavity of the housing 100 through the jack 220. Since at least a portion of the lifting structure 300 in the module of the socket 10 is opposite to the jack 220, when the power connection end 21 is inserted into the inner cavity of the housing 100, it can abut against the lifting structure 300 to push the lifting structure 300 to move. The lifting structure 300 pushes the second sliding part 420 to move, so that the first rotating part 430 rotates around the first axis, thereby causing the first sliding part 410 and the second sliding part 420 to rotate around the first axis. Since the first sliding part 410 and the second sliding part 420 are respectively located on opposite sides of the first rotating part 430, when the first rotating part 430 rotates, the first sliding part 410 and the second sliding part 420 move in opposite directions in the first direction. Therefore, when the power terminal 21 is inserted into the inner cavity of the housing 100, the lifting structure 300 pushes the second sliding part 420 to move, so that the first rotating part 430 rotates around the first axis, and the first sliding part 410 can be driven to push the lifting cover 200 to move in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the power terminal 21, so that the lifting cover 200 moves to the working position. In other words, the lifting cover 200 can extend out of the inner cavity when the power terminal 21 is inserted into the inner cavity of the housing 100.

[0064] In the socket 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the socket 10 modules can be one or more. The socket 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a floor plug, a wall plug, a power strip, or any other structure having the socket 10. In some embodiments, the socket 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is specifically applied to a power strip, such as Figure 1As shown, the power strip includes a plurality of socket 10 modules. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the socket 10 module with the plug 20 inserted is in the working state, and the lifting cover 200 in the socket 10 module in the working state is in the working position. When the lifting cover 200 is in the working position, part of the lifting cover 200 protrudes from the outer surface of the shell 100. Other socket 10 modules without the plug 20 inserted are in the non-working state, and the lifting cover 200 in the socket 10 module in the non-working state is in the starting position. When the lifting cover 200 is in the starting position, the lifting cover 200 is at least flush with the outer surface of the shell 100, or the lifting cover 200 is located on the outer surface of the shell 100 near the inner cavity.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting cover 200 has a first slide groove 210, and the lifting structure 300 has a second slide groove 310. The first sliding part 410 is slidably installed in the first slide groove 210, and the second sliding part 420 is slidably installed in the second slide groove 310. When the first sliding part 410 and the second sliding part 420 rotate around the first axis, the first sliding part 410 can slide along the third direction relative to the first slide groove 210, and the second sliding part 420 can slide along the third direction relative to the second slide groove. Optionally, the first slide groove 210 is provided with a second opening on the side facing the first rotating part 430, and the first sliding part 410 can extend into the first slide groove 210 through the second opening. The second slide groove 310 is provided with a third opening on the side facing the first rotating part 430, and the second sliding part 420 can extend into the second slide groove 310 through the third opening. In this way, the first sliding part 410 is slidably connected to the lifting cover 200, and the second sliding part 420 is slidably connected to the lifting structure 300.

[0066] In one possible design, Figure 3As shown, there are two reversing structures 400, and the two reversing structures 400 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the second direction is the extension direction of the first axis. The second direction is arranged at an angle with the first direction and the third direction respectively, and optionally, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are arranged perpendicular to each other. The first sliding parts 410 of the two reversing structures 400 are respectively slidably connected to the lifting cover 200, and the second sliding parts 420 of the two reversing structures 400 are respectively slidably connected to the lifting structure 300. In this arrangement, by arranging two reversing structures 400, the connection area between the lifting cover 200 and the reversing structure 400 is increased, and the connection area between the lifting structure 300 and the reversing structure 400 is also increased. In this way, the smoothness of the movement of the lifting structure 300 and the reversing structure 400 relative to the shell 100 can be improved. In this embodiment, the lifting cover 200 has two first slide grooves 210, and the two first slide grooves 210 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two first sliding parts 410, and each first sliding part 410 is slidably installed in the corresponding first slide groove 210. The lifting structure 300 has two second slide grooves 310, and the two second slide grooves 310 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two second sliding parts 420, and each second sliding part 420 is slidably installed in the corresponding second slide groove 310.

[0067] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the socket 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a base 700, which is located in the inner cavity and connected to the housing 100. The base 700 has two opposite sides along the second direction, and the first rotating parts 430 of the two reversing structures 400 are respectively rotatably mounted on different sides of the base 700, that is, the reversing structure 400 is rotatably mounted on the housing 100 through the base 700. Exemplarily, a first rotating shaft 711 is respectively provided on two opposite sides of the base 700 along the second direction, and the first rotating part 430 has a through hole, and the first rotating shaft 711 is inserted into the through hole of the corresponding first rotating part 430, so that the reversing structure 400 is rotatably mounted on the first rotating shaft 711, and the axis of the first rotating shaft 711 is the first axis.

[0068] In a possible design, a first guide groove 712 is provided in the inner cavity, and the lifting structure 300 is slidably installed in the first guide groove 712 along the first direction. By providing the first guide groove 712, the stability of the lifting structure 300 when moving relative to the housing 100 can be further improved. In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first guide groove 712 is specifically disposed on the base 700 .

[0069] In one possible design, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a first elastic reset member 510 is provided between the lifting cover 200 and the housing 100, and the first elastic reset member 510 is used to move the lifting cover 200 to the starting position. By providing the first elastic reset member 510, the lifting cover 200 can be automatically restored to the starting position during the process of the power terminal 21 being pulled out from the inner cavity of the housing 100. In other words, when the power terminal 21 is pulled out from the inner cavity of the housing 100, the lifting cover 200 can be automatically retracted into the housing 100, so that the space occupied by the socket 10 when the socket 10 is not in use can be reduced, which is convenient for storage. It is worth noting that the lifting cover 200 is automatically retracted into the housing 100, and the side of the lifting cover 200 facing away from the inner cavity is flush with the outer surface of the housing 100; or the side of the lifting cover 200 facing away from the inner cavity is located between the outer surface of the housing 100 and the side wall of the inner cavity; or the entire structure of the lifting cover 200 is located in the inner cavity. Optionally, the first elastic return member 510 may be a tension spring, a compression spring, or other structures with elastic properties.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, the first elastic reset member 510 is a tension spring, and the two ends of the first elastic reset member 510 are respectively connected to the lifting cover 200 and the base 700. When the power connection end 21 of the plug 20 is inserted into the inner cavity of the housing 100, the lifting cover 200 moves to the working position, at which time, the first elastic reset member 510 is pulled to produce elastic deformation. When the power connection end 21 of the plug 20 is pulled out of the inner cavity of the housing 100, the first elastic reset member 510 returns to the state before the elastic deformation. In the process of the first elastic reset member 510 returning to the state before the elastic deformation, the lifting cover 200 is pulled back to the starting position by the first elastic reset member 510.

[0071] In one possible design, Figure 3 As shown, the socket 10 further includes a self-locking structure 600, which is movably mounted on the housing 100. The self-locking structure 600 can move between a locked position and an unlocked position relative to the housing 100, and the self-locking structure 600 can lock the lifting cover 200 in the working position. By providing the self-locking structure 600, the lifting cover 200 can be locked in the working position. In this way, when the power connection end 21 of the plug 20 is inserted into the inner cavity of the housing 100, the lifting cover 200 can be effectively prevented from moving from the working position to the direction close to the starting position when the lifting cover 200 or the housing 100 is collided or squeezed, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the socket 10.

[0072] In a possible design, the socket 10 further includes a base 700, which is located in the inner cavity and connected to the housing 100. A second elastic reset member 520 is provided between the self-locking structure 600 and the base 700, and the second elastic reset member 520 is used to move the self-locking structure 600 to an unlocked position. By providing the second elastic reset member 520, when the power connection terminal 21 of the plug 20 is pulled out of the housing 100, the self-locking structure 600 can be moved to the unlocked position under the action of the second elastic reset member 520, so that the lifting cover 200 can automatically move to the starting position under the action of the first elastic reset member 510. Optionally, the second elastic reset member 520 can be a tension spring, a compression spring or other structures with elastic properties.

[0073] In some embodiments, when the power terminal 21 is inserted into the inner cavity, the lifting cover 200 moves to the working position, and the self-locking structure 600 locks the lifting cover 200 in the working position. When the power terminal 21 is pulled out of the inner cavity, the self-locking structure 600 is automatically unlocked under the action of the second elastic reset member 520, and the lifting cover 200 can move to the initial position under the action of the first elastic reset member 510. In the embodiment of the present application, the lifting structure 300 can move between the first position and the second position relative to the housing 100. When the power terminal 21 is not inserted into the inner cavity, the lifting cover 200 is in the initial position and the lifting structure 300 is in the first position. When the power terminal 21 is inserted into the inner cavity and contacts the lifting structure 300, the power terminal 21 drives the lifting structure 300 to move to the second position, and the lifting cover 200 moves to the working position. When the power terminal 21 is pulled out of the inner cavity, the lifting cover 200 moves to the initial position under the action of the first elastic member, and the lifting structure 300 moves to the first position.

[0074] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 9 As shown, one side of the lifting structure 300 has a first abutting surface 320 and a second abutting surface 330, and at least a portion of the first abutting surface 320 is opposite to the insertion hole 220. The self-locking structure 600 includes a second rotating part 602, a first abutting portion 620 and a first locking portion 610, and the second rotating part 602 is installed on the base 700. The first abutting portion 620 and the first locking portion 610 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the second rotating part 602. At least a portion of the first abutting portion 620 is opposite to the insertion hole 220. The first abutting portion 620 is used to drive the first locking portion 610 to rotate around the axis of the second rotating part 602, and the first locking portion 610 can move between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the first locking portion 610 abuts against the second abutting surface 330. In the unlocked position, the first locking portion 610 is separated from the second abutting surface 330.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first abutting portion 620 is connected to the first locking portion 610, and specifically, the first abutting portion 620 and the first locking portion 610 are fixedly connected. Optionally, the first abutting portion 620 and the first locking portion 610 are fixedly connected by welding or integral molding. For example, the first abutting portion 620 and the first locking portion 610 are fixedly connected by integral injection molding. At least one of the first abutting portion 620 and the first locking portion 610 is rotatably mounted on the second rotating portion 602. For example, a first connecting hole is provided at the connection between the first abutting portion 620 and the first locking portion 610, the second rotating portion 602 is a cylindrical structure, the axis of the second rotating portion 602 is called the second axis, and the second rotating portion 602 is inserted into the first connecting hole, so that the first abutting portion 620 and the first locking portion 610 are simultaneously rotatably connected to the second rotating portion 602, and the first abutting portion 620 and the first locking portion 610 are respectively located on opposite sides of the second rotating portion 602.

[0076] In other embodiments, the second rotating portion 602, the first abutting portion 620 and the first locking portion 610 may be an integral structure, that is, the second rotating portion 602, the first abutting portion 620 and the first locking portion 610 may be fixedly connected by an integral molding method. The first abutting portion 620 and the first locking portion 610 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the second rotating portion 602, and the second rotating portion 602 is rotatably mounted on the base 700, and the second rotating portion 602 can rotate relative to the base 700 around the second axis.

[0077] At least a portion of the first abutting surface 320 is opposite to the plug hole 220, that is, the first abutting surface 320 is located on the side of the lifting structure 300 close to the plug hole 220, and the second abutting surface 330 is also located on the side of the lifting structure 300 close to the plug hole 220. Since at least a portion of the first abutting surface 320 is opposite to the plug hole 220, after the power connection end 21 of the plug 20 is inserted into the inner cavity through the plug hole 220, the power connection end 21 can abut against the first abutting surface 320, so that the power connection end 21 can push the lifting structure 300 to move. Similarly, since at least a portion of the first abutting portion 620 is opposite to the plug hole 220, after the power connection end 21 is inserted into the inner cavity through the plug hole 220, the power connection end 21 can abut against the first abutting portion 620 to drive the first abutting portion 620 to move, thereby causing the first locking portion 610 to rotate around the second axis, so that the first locking portion 610 moves between the locked position and the unlocked position. Since the first abutting surface 320 and the second abutting surface 330 are both located on the side of the lifting structure 300 close to the socket 220, when the first locking portion 610 abuts against the second abutting surface 330, the first locking portion 610 can limit the movement of the lifting structure 300 in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the power connecting terminal 21, that is, the first locking portion 610 prevents the lifting structure 300 from moving in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the power connecting terminal 21, thereby limiting the movement of the lifting cover 200 from the working position to the direction close to the starting position, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the socket 10.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, the extension direction of the second axis is the fourth direction, and the fourth direction is set at an angle with the first direction. Since at least part of the first abutting portion 620 is opposite to the jack 220, when the power terminal 21 is inserted into the inner cavity through the jack 220, the power terminal 21 can abut against the first abutting portion 620, so as to push the first abutting portion 620 to move through the power terminal 21, thereby driving the first locking portion 610 to rotate around the second axis. Specifically, the fourth direction is set at an angle of 90° with the first direction. In one embodiment, the fourth direction can be the same as the second direction.

[0079] In some embodiments, the base 700 has a mounting groove 721, and the second rotating portion 602 is mounted in the mounting groove 721. The first abutting portion 620 and the first locking portion 610 are both located on opposite sides of the second rotating portion 602, and the lifting structure 300 is located between the second rotating portion 602 and the first locking portion 610. When the power terminal 21 pushes the first abutting portion 620 to move, the first locking portion 610 rotates around the second axis and approaches the second abutting surface 330, so that the first locking portion 610 abuts against the second abutting surface 330, thereby preventing the lifting structure 300 from moving in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the power terminal 21.

[0080] In some embodiments, Figure 4and Figure 7 As shown, the first abutting surface 320 is disposed toward the insertion hole 220, that is, the first abutting surface 320 is perpendicular to the first direction and disposed toward the insertion hole 220. In some optional embodiments, the first abutting surface 320 and the second abutting surface 330 may be disposed in parallel, or the first abutting surface 320 and the second abutting surface 330 may also be disposed at an angle. Figure 8 As shown, the first abutting surface 320 and the second abutting surface 330 are arranged at an angle. A fourth opening is arranged on one side of the lifting structure 300 close to the first locking portion 610, and the opening direction of the fourth opening is perpendicular to the first direction, and the first locking portion 610 can abut on the second abutting surface 330 through the fourth opening. The second abutting surface 330 is inclined relative to the first abutting surface 320 in a direction close to the fourth opening, so that the first locking portion 610 abuts on the second abutting surface 330 through the fourth opening.

[0081] In some optional embodiments, the second elastic reset member 520 and the first locking portion 610 are respectively located on opposite sides of the second rotating portion 602, that is, the second elastic reset member 520 and the first abutting portion 620 are both located on one side of the second rotating portion 602, and the first locking portion 610 is located on the other side opposite to the second rotating portion 602. Figure 5 and Fig. 9 As shown, the base 700 is provided with a first connecting shaft 713, and the self-locking structure 600 has a second connecting shaft 601, and the second connecting shaft 601 is connected to the first abutting portion 620. Optionally, the second connecting shaft 601 and the first abutting portion 620 can be connected by welding, screwing or gluing, or the second connecting shaft 601 and the first abutting portion 620 are connected by integral injection molding or integral casting. The second elastic reset member 520 is specifically a tension spring, one end of the second elastic reset member 520 is connected to the first connecting shaft 713, and the other end is connected to the second connecting shaft 601.

[0082] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, after the power terminal 21 is inserted into the inner cavity of the housing 100, the power terminal 21 abuts against the first abutting portion 620 to drive the first abutting portion 620 to move, so that the first locking portion 610 rotates counterclockwise around the second rotating portion 602, and the first locking portion 610 moves to the locking position. The first locking portion 610 abuts against the second abutting surface 330, and at this time, the second elastic reset member 520 is pulled and elastically deformed. When the power terminal 21 is pulled out of the housing 100, as shown in FIG. Figures 10 to 12As shown, the second elastic return member 520 restores the state before the elastic deformation, and the second elastic return member 520 pulls the second connecting shaft 601 to rotate clockwise around the second axis, so that the first locking portion 610 also rotates clockwise around the second axis, and the first locking portion 610 moves to the unlocking position, and the first locking portion 610 is separated from the second abutting surface 330.

[0083] In some optional embodiments, the number of the first abutting portions 620 is multiple. For example, the number of the first abutting portions 620 is two, and the two first abutting portions 620 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the second axis. The two first abutting portions 620 are respectively opposite to different sockets 220 on the lifting cover 200, and different power terminals 21 simultaneously abut on different first abutting portions 620 and drive the first abutting portions 620 to move, so that the stability of the rotation of the first locking portion 610 can be improved. The number of the first abutting surfaces 320 is also multiple. For example, the number of the first abutting surfaces 320 is two, and the two first abutting surfaces 320 are also arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the second axis. In this arrangement, the same socket 220 can be opposite to one first abutting surface 320 and one first abutting portion 620. By setting two first abutting surfaces 320, the lifting structure 300 can be driven to move through two power terminals 21, and the stability of the movement of the lifting structure 300 can be improved. Optionally, there are multiple first locking parts 610. For example, there are two first locking parts 610, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the second axis, and the second abutting surface 330 is disposed one-to-one with the first locking parts 610. In this way, the locking stability of the first locking parts 610 for the lifting structure 300 is improved.

[0084] In another possible design, Figures 13 to 20As shown, the self-locking structure 600 includes a rotating member 630 and a linkage member 640, the rotating member 630 is installed on the base 700, and the linkage member 640 is installed on the rotating member 630. The rotating member 630 can rotate around the third axis and drive the linkage member 640 to move between the locked position and the unlocked position. In the locked position, the linkage member 640 abuts against the second abutting surface 330. In this arrangement, when the first abutting surface 320 and the second abutting surface 330 are arranged in parallel, that is, when the second abutting surface 330 is arranged perpendicular to the first direction, since the rotating member 630 can drive the linkage member 640 to move, the linkage member 640 is more likely to abut against the second abutting surface 330. That is to say, in this arrangement, the linkage member 640 is more likely to abut against the second abutting surface 330 perpendicular to the first direction. Since the second abutment surface 330 is perpendicular to the first direction and is located on the side of the lifting structure 300 facing the insertion hole 220, when the linkage member 640 abuts against the second abutment surface 330, the locking effect on the lifting structure 300 is more stable, thereby effectively improving the stability of the lifting cover 200 in the working position.

[0085] In some optional embodiments, such as Fig.18 As shown, the rotating member 630 includes a third rotating portion 635, a second abutting portion 632 and a connecting portion 631. The third rotating portion 635 is a cylindrical structure, and the axis of the third rotating portion 635 is the third axis. The third rotating portion 635 is installed in the mounting groove 721 of the base 700. The second abutting portion 632 and the connecting portion 631 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the third rotating portion 635, so that the second abutting portion 632 and the connecting portion 631 of the rotating member 630 can rotate around the third axis. The second abutting portion 632 and the connecting portion 631 are fixedly connected. Optionally, the second abutting portion 632 and the connecting portion 631 are fixedly connected by welding or integral molding. Exemplarily, the second abutting portion 632 and the connecting portion 631 are connected by integral injection molding. A second connection hole is provided at the connection point between the second abutting portion 632 and the connecting portion 631, and the third rotating portion 635 is inserted into the second connection hole, so that the second abutting portion 632 and the connecting portion 631 are simultaneously rotatably connected with the third rotating portion 635, and the second abutting portion 632 and the connecting portion 631 are respectively located at opposite sides of the second rotating portion 602. In this arrangement, the second connecting shaft 601 can be connected with the second abutting portion 632. That is to say, the second connecting shaft 601 and the second abutting portion 632 are located on one side of the third rotating portion 635, the second connecting shaft 601 and the second abutting portion 632 are fixedly connected, and the connecting portion 631 is located on the other side opposite to the third rotating portion 635.

[0086] In some other optional embodiments, the third rotating portion 635, the second abutting portion 632 and the connecting portion 631 are an integrated structure, that is, the third rotating portion 635, the second abutting portion 632 and the connecting portion 631 are connected by an integrated molding method. The second abutting portion 632 and the connecting portion 631 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the third rotating portion 635, and the third rotating portion 635 is rotatably installed in the installation slot 721 on the base 700.

[0087] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the second abutting portion 632 is opposite to the insertion hole 220. The connecting portion 631 is movably connected to the linkage member 640, and the connecting portion 631 is used to drive the linkage member 640 to approach or move away from the second abutting surface 330 along the fifth direction.

[0088] Optionally, the lifting structure 300 is located between the third rotating part 635 and the linkage member 640, and the lifting structure 300 is provided with a fifth opening toward the linkage member 640, and the opening direction of the fifth opening is parallel to the fifth direction, and the linkage member 640 can abut on the second abutting surface 330 through the fifth opening. Exemplarily, the first direction is a vertical direction, and the power terminal 21 is inserted into the inner cavity through the jack 220 downward in the vertical direction. The lifting structure 300 moves downward with the power terminal 21, and the lifting cover 200 moves upward to protrude from the outer surface of the housing 100. The second abutting surface 330 is a horizontal plane, and the opening direction of the fifth opening is a horizontal direction. The linkage member 640 abuts on the second abutting surface 330 after passing through the fifth opening in the horizontal direction, so as to prevent the lifting structure 300 from moving upward in the vertical direction, and then prevent the lifting cover 200 from moving downward, thereby ensuring the safety performance of the socket 10.

[0089] In some optional embodiments, the number of the second abutting portions 632 and the number of the connecting portions 631 are both two, the two second abutting portions 632 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the third axis, and the two second abutting portions 632 are respectively opposite to different insertion holes 220 of the lifting cover 200. The two connecting portions 631 are also arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the third axis, the number of the linkage members 640 and the second abutting surfaces 330 is also two, the two linkage members 640 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two connecting portions 631, and the two second abutting surfaces 330 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two linkage members 640.

[0090] In one possible design, Fig.14As shown, the rotating member 630 has a first pushing surface 6331 and a second pushing surface 6332, and the linkage member 640 includes a moving portion 641, and the moving portion 641 is located between the first pushing surface 6331 and the second pushing surface 6332. The first pushing surface 6331 is located on the side of the moving portion 641 away from the lifting structure 300, and the second pushing surface 6332 is located on the side of the moving portion 641 close to the lifting structure 300. In this arrangement, the first pushing surface 6331 can push the moving portion 641 to move toward the side close to the lifting structure 300, so that the linkage member 640 moves toward the direction close to the lifting structure 300 and abuts against the second abutting surface 330; the second pushing surface 6332 can push the moving portion 641 to move away from the lifting structure 300, so that the linkage member 640 is separated from the second abutting surface 330. In this way, the linkage member 640 is moved between the locked position and the unlocked position. In an optional embodiment, the connecting portion 631 is provided with a first groove body 633, the moving portion 641 is slidably arranged in the first groove body 633, the first pushing surface 6331 is the inner wall of the first groove body 633 located on the side of the moving portion 641 away from the lifting structure 300, and the second pushing surface 6332 is the inner wall of the first groove body 633 located on the side of the moving portion 641 close to the lifting structure 300.

[0091] In one possible design, Fig.16 As shown, a second guide groove 724 is provided in the inner cavity, and part of the structure of the linkage member 640 is slidably provided in the second guide groove 724, and the linkage member 640 can move between the locked position and the unlocked position along the second guide groove 724. In this arrangement, the second guide groove 724 guides the movement of the linkage member 640, so that the linkage member 640 can abut against the second abutting surface 330 more accurately.

[0092] The movable platform 723, the linkage member 640 is slidably mounted on the movable platform 723, and the linkage member 640 can move relative to the movable platform 723 to approach or move away from the lifting structure 300. In this arrangement, the movable platform 723 guides the movement of the linkage member 640, so that the linkage member 640 can abut against the second abutting surface 330 more accurately. In some optional embodiments, the second guide groove 724 is provided on the base 700. For example, as Fig.16 and Fig. 20As shown, two movable platforms 723 are arranged on the base 700, and the two movable platforms 723 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the surfaces of the two movable platforms 723 and the base 700 are surrounded to form a second guide groove 724. The two side walls of the two movable platforms 723 that are arranged opposite to each other are parallel to the fifth direction, that is, the side walls of the two movable platforms facing the second guide groove 724 are parallel to the fifth direction. The linkage member 640 is slidably installed in the second guide groove 724 along the first direction, and the movement of the linkage member 640 is limited by the side walls of the two movable platforms 723 facing the second guide groove 724, so that the linkage member 640 moves along the fifth direction. When the number of the linkage members 640 is multiple, the number of the second guide grooves 724 is also multiple, and the multiple second guide grooves 724 are arranged one by one with the multiple linkage members 640. Exemplarily, when the number of the linkage members 640 is two, the number of the second guide grooves 724 is also two, and the two linkage members 640 are respectively located in different second guide grooves 724.

[0093] In a specific implementation, Figure 5 and Fig.16 As shown, the base 700 includes an upper base 710 and a lower base 720, the lower base 720 is mounted on the side wall of the inner cavity, the upper base 710 is mounted on the lower base 720, and the upper base 710 and the lower base 720 can be connected by a structure such as a screw or a buckle. The moving platform 723 is specifically arranged on the lower base 720. The first rotating shaft 711 and the first connecting shaft 713 are specifically arranged on the upper base 710, and the first guide groove 712 is also arranged on the upper base 710. The mounting groove 721 is arranged on the lower base 720.
