When the protective plate 3 is set to an inclined state, it can provide protection for the front surface of the socket body 1 and can prevent rain from falling on the socket body 1 in an inclined state. The initial position of the protective plate 3 is in a drooping state, and the protective plate 3 can provide shielding and protection for the socket body 1. A limiting groove 601 is provided on the right surface of the rotating shaft 67, and the inner wall of the rain shield 2 is elastically connected to the limiting block 66 through a limiting spring 65. The limiting groove 601 and the limiting block 66 fit together, and the right surface of the limiting block 66 is fixedly connected with a sliding rod 64, and the limiting block 66 and the sliding rod 64 will slide synchronously.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 - Figure 6 The adjustment component also includes a pull ring 63. The inner wall of the rain shield 2 is elastically connected to a protrusion 61 through a connecting spring 62. Two groups of protrusions 61 and connecting springs 62 are provided, distributed at the front and rear ends of the slide groove 602, and are only separated from the edge of the slide groove 602 by the diameter of a rotating shaft 67.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The quick-release assembly includes a connecting block 51, a fixing block 52 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the socket body 1, the inner wall of the fixing block 52 is elastically connected to a positioning block 54 through a compression spring 53, and a slider 55 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the positioning block 54.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3The upper surface of the connecting block 51 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting plate 4. The connecting block 51 is arranged in a ring shape. The positioning block 54 passes through and is slidably connected to the right surface of the fixing block 52, sliding laterally. The upper surface of the positioning block 54 is arranged in an arc surface. By squeezing the arc surface of the upper surface of the positioning block 54, the positioning block 54 will move to the left and retract into the fixing block 52 to release the obstruction to the connecting block 51. One end of the compression spring 53 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the positioning block 54, and the other end of the compression spring 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall on the left side of the fixing block 52. When the positioning block 54 moves to the left, it will squeeze the compression spring 53 to generate a reaction force.

The positioning block 54 is plugged into the inner wall of the connecting block 51 to limit the connecting block 51.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The slide groove 602 is opened on the inner wall of the right side of the rain shield 2, and there are two groups of slide grooves 602. There are two groups of rotating shafts 67. The two groups of rotating shafts 67 and the slide grooves 602 are symmetrically distributed along the center line of the protective plate 3. The two groups of rotating shafts 67 are close to the two groups of slide grooves 602 at the same time, which makes it impossible for the rotating shafts 67 to fall off from the slide grooves 602 during normal use.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The limit groove 601 is opened in the shape of a gear, and the limit block 66 is set in the shape of a gear. The limit block 66 is inserted into the inner wall of the limit groove 601, and can limit the rotating shaft 67 so that the rotating shaft 67 cannot rotate. One end of the limit spring 65 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the limit block 66, and the other end of the limit spring 65 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right side of the rain shield 2. When the limit block 66 moves to the right, it will squeeze the limit spring 65 to generate a reaction force. The sliding rod 64 passes through and is slidably connected to the right surface of the rain shield 2.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The left surface of the pull ring 63 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the slide rod 64. The pull ring 63 is easy to pull. Pulling the pull ring 63 can drive the slide rod 64 to move synchronously. The protrusion 61 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rain shield 2 and slides horizontally. The front surface of the protrusion 61 is set to an arc surface.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5The rear surface of the protrusion 61 is set as an arc surface. When the arc surface of the protrusion 61 is squeezed, the protrusion 61 will move to the right and retract into the inside of the rain shield 2. Without the influence of external force, the rotating shaft 67 cannot press the protrusion 61. One end of the connecting spring 62 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the protrusion 61, and the other end of the connecting spring 62 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right side of the rain shield 2. When the protrusion 61 moves to the right, it will squeeze the connecting spring 62 to generate a reaction force.

[0041] Working principle: When using this device, first pull the protective plate 3 forward and pull the pull ring 63 to the right. The forward-moving protective plate 3 will drive the rotating shaft 67 to move forward, and the forward-moving rotating shaft 67 will squeeze the arc surface of the rear surface of the protrusion 61. The protrusion 61 will move to the right and retract into the rain shield 2 to release the obstruction to the rotating shaft 67, and will squeeze the connecting spring 62 to generate a reaction force.

[0042] The pull ring 63 moving to the right will drive the slide bar 64 and the limit block 66 to move to the right. The limit block 66 moving to the right will squeeze the limit spring 65 to generate a reaction force and will retract into the rain shield 2. When the rotating shaft 67 moves to the front end of the slide groove 602, the limit groove 601 will align with the limit block 66. At this time, the protective plate 3 is rotated to open the protective plate 3 and release the pull ring 63. The reaction force of the limit spring 65 will push the limit block 66, the slide bar 64 and the pull ring 63 to move to the left. The limit block 66 moving to the left will engage with the limit groove 601 to limit the rotating shaft 67, ensuring the stability of the position of the protective plate 3. Then the plug can be inserted into the socket body 1 for charging. After insertion, pull the pull ring 63 to the right to release the limit on the protective plate 3, and then put down the protective plate 3, rotate the protective plate 3 to be perpendicular to the ground, and then release the pull ring 63 to limit the protective plate 3. At this time, rainwater flowing in an oblique direction will not be sprinkled on the socket, thereby improving the protection effect.

[0043] After charging is completed, unplug the plug, then pull the pull ring 63 to the right to drive the limit block 66 to move to the right and disengage from the limit groove 601 to release the limit on the rotating shaft 67. After the limit is released, move the protective plate 3 backward, and the protective plate 3 will drive the rotating shaft 67 to move synchronously. When the rotating shaft 67 moves backward, it will squeeze the arc surface of the front surface of the protrusion 61, and the protrusion 61 will move to the right and retract into the rain shield 2 to release the obstruction to the rotating shaft 67, and will squeeze the connecting spring 62 to generate a reaction force. When the rotating shaft 67 moves to the rear end of the slide groove 602, it stops moving. At this time, the front surface of the rotating shaft 67 will be blocked by the protrusion 61. At this time, release the protective plate 3, and the protective plate 3 will hang down due to its own gravity to block the front surface of the socket body 1 to achieve protection.

[0044] When the mounting plate 4, rain shield 2 or protective plate 3 is damaged and needs to be replaced, the slider 55 is moved to the left to drive the positioning block 54 to move to the left. The positioning block 54 moved to the left will be disengaged from the connecting block 51 to release the limit on the connecting block 51, and then the connecting block 51 and the mounting plate 4 are moved upward and removed from the socket body 1, and then the new mounting plate 4 and the slot are plugged in. During the plugging process, the connecting block 51 will squeeze the arc surface of the positioning block 54, and the positioning block 54 will move to the left to squeeze the compression spring 53 to generate a reaction force. When the mounting plate 4 and the slot are inserted, the connecting block 51 will release the squeezing of the positioning block 54, and the reaction force of the compression spring 53 will push the positioning block 54 to move to the right and plug the connecting block 51 to limit the mounting plate 4, completing the installation.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
