[0039] Embodiment 1:

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a pop-up socket box, comprising:

[0041] The panel 1 is provided with an opening 100 , which penetrates the panel 1 . The shapes of the opening 100 are not limited here. Generally, sharp corners need to be avoided on the panel 1 .

[0042] The damping device 2 is arranged below the panel 1. The damping device 2 can refer to a pop-up floor socket with an adjustable damping device disclosed in the patent with publication number CN203166201U, or a damping device for a pop-up floor socket disclosed in the patent with publication number CN202601884U, etc.

[0043] The jump frame 3 is provided with a mounting hole 300, and the mounting hole 300 is used to install functional parts. The jump frame 3 includes a hinge part 301, and the hinge part 301 extends through the opening 100 into the bottom of the panel 1 and is connected with the damping device 2. The jump frame 3 rotates around its hinge part 301 and has a pop-up position and a retracted position; under the action of the damping device 2, the jump frame 3 is normally maintained in the pop-up position, at which time the mounting hole 300 is generally completely exposed, and the jump frame 3 can be pressed down to the retracted position by pressing the jump frame 3, at which time the mounting hole 300 is generally completely blocked.

[0044] The bottom shell 4 is arranged on the lower end surface of the panel 1. The bottom shell 4 is connected with the panel 1 to form a box body with a cavity. When the jump frame 3 is in the retracted position, it is hidden in the cavity.

[0045] Secondly, the bottom shell 4 includes a main shell 400 and a sub-shell 401 that are detachably connected. The main shell 400 is provided with a notch 402 with an L-shaped cross-section corresponding to the damping device 2 and the trunk lock 5. The sub-shell 401 is adapted to the notch 402 and connected to the notch 402. In this embodiment, the trunk lock 5 is arranged on the bottom wall of the main shell 400, using the notch 402 with an L-shaped cross-section. When the sub-shell 401 is removed, the damping device 2 and the trunk lock 5 can be repaired, maintained and replaced.

[0046] Among them, a wiring hole is set on the sub-shell 401, and a knock-off plate 403 is set in the wiring hole. The wiring hole can be set to different sizes and shapes, and only the sub-shell 401 needs to be replaced, and there is no need to replace the entire bottom shell 4, which reduces the product's use cost and makes wiring and routing more convenient.

[0047] The trunk lock 5 is arranged in the bottom shell 4 and is located below the jump frame 3 in the retracted position. It includes a locking arm 500 and a roller 501 arranged at the end of the locking arm 500. The roller 501 can improve the smoothness of unlocking and locking. The locking arm 500 has the same rotation direction as the jump frame 3, that is, the two rotate in the same plane. The locking arm 500 has a locking position and an unlocking position. Among them, the locking arm 500 is closer to the jump frame 3 when it is in the unlocking position. When the locking arm 500 switches from the unlocking position to the locking position, it will self-lock and remain in the locking position. When the locking arm 500 switches from the locking position to the unlocking position, it only needs to be slightly pressed in the opposite direction, and the locking arm 500 can automatically pop up to the unlocking position.

[0048] And a lock hook 6, which is arranged on one end of the jumping frame 3 close to the trunk lock 5, preferably on the lower end surface of the jumping frame 3, and is provided with a lock groove 600 adapted to the roller 501, and the lock groove 600 is an arc groove.

[0049] Secondly, the lock hook 6 rotates with the jump frame 3, and the panel 1 is located on the rotation path of the lock hook 6. When the damping device 2 fails or the rotation stroke is set incorrectly, the jump frame 3 rotates to the pop-up position, and the lock hook 6 can form abutment with the panel 1 to prevent the jump frame 3 from bouncing up excessively, resulting in an excessively large gap between the jump frame 3 and the panel 1, which makes it easy for debris and foreign matter to enter, thereby affecting the normal use of the socket.

[0050] The cover plate 7 is arranged on the top of the jump frame 3. When the jump frame 3 is in the retracted position, the upper end surface of the cover plate 7 is flush with the upper end surface of the panel 1, so that the socket box is flatter and more beautiful when not in use.

[0051] Secondly, the outer contour of the cover plate 7 is located outside the outer contour of the jump frame 3, that is, the cover plate 7 is one circle larger than the jump frame 3, so that the side of the cover plate 7 close to the damping device 2 can also play a role in limiting the rotation range of the jump frame 3.

[0052] The opening 100 is provided with a sunken groove 101. When the jump frame 3 is in the retracted position, the cover plate 7 is embedded in the sunken groove 101. The depth of the sunken groove 101 is greater than the thickness of the cover plate 7. In this way, the cover plate 7 can be slightly pressed downward, thereby triggering the unlocking of the trunk lock 5.

[0053] Secondly, a first inclined surface 102 is provided on the side of the opening 100 close to the hinge part 301, and a second inclined surface 700 matched with the first inclined surface 102 is provided on the side of the cover plate 7 close to the hinge part 301. The lower side of the first inclined surface 102 is inclined toward the inside of the opening 100. Through this structure, interference with the rotation of the jump frame 3 is avoided.

[0054] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, an upper opening 302 is provided on the end of the jump frame 3 away from the bottom shell 4, and at least one connecting structure is provided on the cover plate 7, and the connecting structure includes two connecting columns 701 arranged at intervals. In the present embodiment, two connecting structures are provided, namely four connecting columns 701, which are arranged in a square distribution. Threaded holes 702 are provided on the connecting columns 701, and the connecting columns 701 are inserted into the upper opening 302. Through holes 303 are provided on the jump frame 3 corresponding to the threaded holes 702. The cover plate 7 and the jump frame 3 can be fixed by bolts. At the same time, different cover plates 7 can be replaced according to needs. The cover plate 7 can be made of different materials or different patterns can be set on the cover plate 7, so that the product is more beautiful.

[0055] A reinforcing rib 703 is provided between the two connecting columns 701 , and the reinforcing rib 703 is integrally formed with the cover plate 7 to improve the overall strength of the cover plate 7 .

[0056] When the jump frame 3 is in the retracted position, the locking hook 6 and the locking arm 500 in the locked position form a locking fit, and at this time, the roller 501 is inserted into the locking groove 600, and the jump frame 3 is kept in the retracted position.

[0057] When the jump frame 3 in the retracted position is pressed downward, the locking arm 500 switches from the locked position to the unlocked position, and at the same time, under the action of the damping device 2, the trunk lock 5 can also play a role in assisting the jump frame 3 to bounce up, so that the jump frame 3 switches from the retracted position to the pop-up position. Secondly, this product is preferably installed on a desktop for use.

[0058] Through the above arrangement, the jump frame can be locked in the retracted position with the help of the trunk lock 5 and unlocked by pressing the jump frame. At the same time, the trunk lock 5 can also assist the jump frame in popping up, which not only improves the convenience of product use, but also improves the aesthetics of the product.

[0059] Embodiment 2:

[0060] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a socket, including the pop-up socket box described in Embodiment 1 and a functional component 8. The functional component 8 can be a socket module, a USB plug-in module, a network communication module, etc. The functional component 8 is arranged in the mounting hole 300.
