[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a protective shell of a socket, including:

[0038] The housing 1 is provided with an installation cavity 100 , and the installation cavity 100 has an upper opening 101 . The installation cavity 100 is used to install functional parts, and the functional parts may be socket modules, USB modules, network cable interface modules, etc.

[0039] The cover plate 2 includes a hinged side hinged to the upper opening 101, which rotates around the hinged side to have an open state and a closed state. A hinge structure is provided between the hinged side and the housing 1. The hinge structure can adopt a damping hinge to keep the cover plate 2 in a closed state in a normal state and can be automatically closed within a certain opening angle. In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the hinged side is provided with a hinge shaft portion 90, and the hinge shaft portion 90 is hinged to the shell 1 through a hinge rod 91, and an arc-shaped protrusion 92 is provided on the hinge shaft portion 90. The arc-shaped protrusion 92 can be a convex block with an arc-shaped surface provided thereon, and an elastic arm 93 is provided on the shell 1 corresponding to the arc-shaped protrusion 92. The elastic arm 93 has a certain elastic deformation ability in the height direction of the shell 1, and an arc-shaped matching surface 94 is provided on the elastic arm 93 toward the arc-shaped protrusion 92. The middle of the arc-shaped matching surface 94 is lower than its two ends. When the cover plate 2 rotates, the arc-shaped protrusion 92 slides along the arc-shaped matching surface 94. Through this structure, an effect similar to a damping hinge can be achieved, which effectively reduces the cost of the product.

[0040] A mounting groove 3, the mounting groove 3 is arranged on the housing 1 and is located on the opposite side of the hinge side;

[0041] And a button assembly, the button assembly includes: a button 4 and a spring 5, the spring 5 is a compression spring, the button 4 is slidably arranged in the installation slot 3 along the height direction of the shell 1, and the spring 5 is arranged between the button 4 and the installation slot 3; wherein, a first limiting portion 400 is arranged on the button 4, and a second limiting portion 102 is arranged on the shell 1 corresponding to the first limiting portion 400. Under the action of the spring 5, when the button 4 is in the first position, the first limiting portion 400 abuts against the second limiting portion 102, and the first limiting portion 400 cooperates with the second limiting portion 102 to prevent the button 4 from being separated from the installation slot 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cover 2 is provided with an opening portion 200 facing the button 4, and the button 4 has a first position covering the opening portion 200 and a second position exposing the opening portion 200. In a normal state, due to the action of the spring 5, the button 4 covers the opening portion 200 of the cover 2, and the cover cannot be opened at this time. In addition, the surface of the protective shell is overall flat, with better aesthetics. When the cover 2 needs to be opened, it is only necessary to press the button 4 to expose the opening portion 200, and at the same time apply force to the opening portion 200 to flip the cover 2 upward to open it.

[0043] The opening portion 200 is provided with an inclined surface 201 , the upper side of which is inclined toward the button 4 , so that the inclined surface 201 is convenient for the user to flip the cover plate 2 upwards and open it by fingers.

[0044] It should be understood that when the button 4 is in the first position, it can completely cover the opening portion 200, or it can be slightly higher or lower than the opening portion, but this height difference is not enough for the user to use a finger to open the cover 2 without pressing the button 4; similarly, when the button 4 is in the second position, the opening portion 200 can be completely exposed or partially exposed, and only the exposed portion of the opening portion 200 is needed for the user to use a finger to open the cover 2.

[0045] Preferably, when the button 4 is in the first position, the upper end surface of the button 4 is flush with the upper end surface of the cover 2 in the closed state; further, the shell 1 includes a panel part, and the upper end surface of the button 4 in the first position, the upper end surface of the cover 2 in the closed state and the upper end surface of the panel part are flush. Through this arrangement, the surface of the protective shell is smoother and more beautiful.

[0046] Furthermore, the button 4 is at least partially made of a light-transmitting material, a light-emitting body 6 is arranged in the installation groove 3, the light-emitting body 6 can be an external LED lamp, and a pressing indication pattern is hollowed out downward on the button 4. Preferably, the pressing indication pattern part is light-transmitting. Through this arrangement, it is convenient to open the cover 2 in a dark environment.

[0047] Secondly, a light-emitting body 6 is arranged in the middle of the mounting groove 3, lower spring positioning columns 7 are arranged on both sides of the light-emitting body 6, an upper spring positioning column 8 is arranged on the back of the button 4, there are two springs 5, and the two ends of the spring 5 are respectively connected to the upper spring positioning column 8 and the lower spring positioning column 7. The setting of double springs improves the stability of the button 4 when it moves, and avoids the button 4 from tilting when being pressed, resulting in the opening part 200 not being able to be completely exposed.

[0048] Furthermore, an inner plate portion 103 extends from the edge of the upper opening 101 toward the inner side of the upper opening 101, and an annular groove 104 is provided on the inner plate portion 103. An annular protrusion 202 matching the annular groove 104 is provided on the cover plate 2, and a protrusion 203 matching the inner circumference of the inner plate portion 103 is provided on the cover plate 2. Through this arrangement, when the cover plate 2 is in a closed state, the annular protrusion 202 is embedded in the annular groove 104, and the protrusion 203 is embedded in the inner circumference of the inner plate portion 103, which can effectively improve the waterproof and dustproof effects of the installation cavity 100.

[0049] Embodiment 2:

[0050] Based on the first embodiment, this embodiment provides a socket, including the protective shell of the socket, a socket module is arranged in the installation cavity 100, and a wiring portion 105 is arranged on the shell 1. Specifically, a plurality of wiring holes are arranged around the side wall of the shell 1, and a knock-out plate is arranged in the wiring hole, which can adapt to different installation conditions.
