[0067] In some examples, such as the attached Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the cavity portion 111 of the main housing 11 has a plurality of reinforcing ribs 1111, and one end of the reinforcing ribs 1111 is connected to the cover portion 112. For example, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 1111 are arranged at intervals on two inner walls extending along the length direction of the cavity portion 111, the upper end of the reinforcing ribs 1111 is connected to the cover portion 112, and the lower end of the reinforcing ribs 1111 extends to the lower part of the cavity portion 111.

[0068] The design of the reinforcing ribs 1111 is particularly beneficial for improving the strength of the integrated main shell 11, especially the strength of the cover plate portion 112, and preventing the risk of deformation, breakage, etc.

[0069] In the embodiment of the utility model, the lower end of the cavity part 111 is an open end, and the open end of the cavity part 111 is blocked by the bottom plate 12. When assembling the embedded socket, the electrical module 200 can be pre-assembled on the bottom plate 12, and then the whole is placed in the inner cavity of the cavity part 111 by the open end, and then the bottom plate 12 and the cavity part 111 are connected.

[0070] In order to facilitate the maintenance of the electrical module 200, the connection between the base plate 12 and the cavity portion 111 can be made detachable, and the detachable connection includes but is not limited to at least one of the following connection methods: snap connection, riveting, screw connection, pin connection, quick-release connection, etc.
