[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the present embodiment provides a pop-up socket with a replaceable panel, which is preferably installed on a desktop for use, and comprises a panel 1, a jump frame 2 and a pop-up assembly. The jump frame 2 is provided with a functional part 3, which may be a socket module, a USB plug-in module, a network communication module, etc. The pop-up assembly is used to make the jump frame 2 have a pop-up position and a retracted position relative to the panel 1. When the jump frame 2 is in the pop-up position, the functional part 3 is exposed above the panel 1, generally allowing the functional part 3 to protrude from the upper surface of the panel 1, and the user can use the functional part 3 normally at this time. When the jump frame 2 is in the retracted position, the functional part 3 is hidden below the panel 1, generally allowing the functional part 3 to sink into the upper surface of the panel, and will not occupy additional space on the desktop.

[0033] It also includes a face cover 4, a detachable first connecting structure is arranged between the face cover 4 and the panel 1, a first opening 401 is arranged on the face cover 4, and a second opening 101 is arranged on the panel 1, and the first opening 401 and the second opening 101 are at least allowed for the top of the jump frame 2 to pass through. By arranging a detachable face cover 4 on the panel 1, when the panel 1 is damaged or when the user has additional requirements on the material, shape, etc. of the panel 1, the face cover 4 can be removed and replaced separately, and there is no need to disassemble the entire socket, thereby improving the practicality and convenience of the product.

[0034] It also includes a cover plate 5 arranged on the top of the jump frame 2, and a detachable second connection structure is arranged between the cover plate 5 and the jump frame 2. The cover 4 and the cover plate 5 can be replaced separately to meet the diverse needs of users. Specifically, a third opening 200 is arranged on the top of the jump frame 2, and the second connection structure includes at least one connection component arranged on the cover plate 5, and the connection component includes two connection columns 60 arranged at intervals. In this embodiment, two connection structures are provided, that is, four connection columns 60 are arranged in a square distribution, and the connection columns 60 are inserted into the third opening 200. The side wall of the jump frame 2 is provided with a through hole 61, and the connection column 60 is provided with a threaded hole 62 corresponding to the through hole 61. The cover plate 5 and the jump frame 2 can be fixed by bolts. At the same time, since the connection structure is not on the surface of the cover plate 5, when the jump frame 2 is in the retracted position, the surface of the entire product is more beautiful.

[0035] The outer contour of the cover plate 5 is located outside the outer contour of the jump frame 2. In the present embodiment, the cover plate 5 and the jump frame 2 are both square, and the area of ​​the cover plate 5 is larger than that of the jump frame 2. The surface cover 4 is provided with a first sinking groove portion 400 adapted to the cover plate 5. The cover plate 5 can just form a whole with the surface cover 4, so that the upper surface of the socket is more beautiful. Preferably, the surface cover 4 and the cover plate 5 use the same material, pattern, texture, color, etc.

[0036] The panel 1 is provided with a second sunken groove portion 100 that is compatible with the first sunken groove portion 400. The first sunken groove portion 400 is embedded in the second sunken groove portion 100 and the two are in contact with each other. The first opening 401 is arranged in the first sunken groove portion 400, and the second opening 101 is arranged in the second sunken groove portion 100. The first connecting structure is arranged between the first sunken groove portion 400 and the second sunken groove portion 100. When the jump frame 2 is in the retracted position, the cover plate 5 is embedded in the first sunken groove portion 400 and blocks the first connecting structure. In this way, when the jump frame 2 is in the retracted position, there will be no visible connecting structure on the surface of the socket, making the product more aesthetically pleasing.

[0037] Secondly, the fixing structure of the panel 1 and the desktop can be set at the first sinking groove portion 400 and the second sinking groove portion, so that the cover plate 5 can also be shielded together.

[0038] Through the above arrangement, when the jump frame 2 is in the retracted position, the face cover 4 and the cover plate 5 form a whole. Preferably, the upper end surface of the cover plate 5 is flush with the upper end surface of the face cover 4, and there is no visible connection structure on the upper surface, thereby making the socket more beautiful when installed on the desktop.

[0039] Among them, the first connection structure and the second connection structure both include at least one of a bolt connection structure, a snap-fit ​​connection structure or a magnetic connection structure. In the present embodiment, the bolt connection structure is preferred, which is durable and firmly connected. Specifically, a through hole is provided on the bottom wall of the first sinking groove portion 400, and a threaded hole is provided on the bottom wall of the second sinking groove portion 100. Bolts can be used to pass through the through holes and connect with the threaded holes to fix the surface cover 4 and the cover plate 5. As for the snap-fit ​​connection structure and the magnetic connection structure, those skilled in the art should know how to set them on the premise of knowing the connection principle.

[0040] Furthermore, it also includes a bottom shell 11, a damping device 7 and an elephant trunk lock 8, wherein the damping device 7 is arranged below the panel 1, and the jump frame 2 includes a hinge 201, wherein the hinge 201 extends through the first opening 401 and the second opening 101 into the bottom of the panel 1 and is connected to the damping device 7, and the jump frame 2 rotates around its hinge 201 to have the pop-up position and the retracted position, and under the action of the damping device 7, the jump frame 2 is normally kept in the pop-up position, at which time the functional part 3 is generally completely exposed, and the jump frame 2 can be pressed down to the retracted position by pressing the jump frame 2, at which time the functional part 3 is generally completely blocked. Among them, the bottom shell 11 is connected to the panel 1 to form a box body with a cavity, and when the jump frame 2 is in the retracted position, it is hidden in the cavity.

[0041] Among them, the damping device 7 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.

[0042] A locking hook 9 is provided on one end of the jump frame 2 close to the trunk lock 8, and is preferably provided on the lower end surface of the jump frame 2. The trunk lock 8 is provided in the bottom shell 11 and is located below the jump frame 2 in the retracted position. It includes a locking arm 800 and a roller 801 provided at the end of the locking arm 800. The roller 801 can improve the smoothness of unlocking and locking. The locking arm 800 has a locking position and an unlocking position. When the locking arm 800 is in the unlocking position, it is closer to the jump frame 2. When the locking arm 800 switches from the unlocking position to the locking position, it will self-lock and remain in the locking position. When the locking arm 800 switches from the locking position to the unlocking position, it only needs to be slightly pressed in the opposite direction, and the locking arm 800 can automatically pop up to the unlocking position.

[0043] The locking hook 9 is provided with a locking groove 900 which is matched with the roller 801, and the locking groove 900 is an arc-shaped groove. When the jumping frame 2 is in the retracted position, the locking hook 9 and the locking arm 800 in the locking position form a locking fit. At this time, the roller 801 is stuck in the locking groove 900, and the jumping frame 2 is kept in the retracted position.

[0044] When the jump frame 2 in the retracted position is pressed downward, the locking arm 800 switches from the locked position to the unlocked position. At the same time, under the action of the damping device 7, the trunk lock 8 can also assist the jump frame 2 in bouncing up, and the jump frame 2 switches from the retracted position to the bouncing position.

[0045] Through the above arrangement, the jump frame can be locked in the retracted position and unlocked by pressing the jump frame with the help of the trunk lock 8. At the same time, the trunk lock 8 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.

[0046] Secondly, the depth of the first sinking groove 400 is greater than the thickness of the cover plate 5 , so that the cover plate 5 can be slightly pressed downward, thereby triggering the unlocking of the trunk lock 5 .

[0047] Secondly, an elastic sealing ring is provided in the first sunken groove portion 400. When the jump frame 2 is in the retracted position, the cover plate 5 abuts against the elastic sealing ring. If this structure is adopted, the first connection structure is generally preferably a bolt connection structure. The elastic sealing ring can not only improve the sealing performance between the cover plate 5 and the first sunken groove portion 400 in the socket when not in use, but also prevent external debris from entering the cavity and affecting the normal use of the socket.

[0048] Furthermore, the locking hook 9 rotates with the jump frame 2, and the panel 1 is located on the rotation path of the locking hook 9. When the damping device 7 fails or the rotation stroke is set incorrectly, the jump frame 2 rotates to the pop-up position, and the locking hook 9 can form abutment with the panel 1 to prevent the jump frame 2 from bouncing up excessively, resulting in an excessively large gap between the jump frame 2 and the panel 1, which makes it easy for debris and foreign matter to enter, thereby affecting the normal use of the socket.

[0049] In summary, after reading this detailed disclosure, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the foregoing detailed disclosure may be presented only by way of example and may not be restrictive. Although not explicitly stated herein, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the requirements of this application encompass various reasonable changes, improvements and modifications to the embodiments.
