[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0022] The present application provides a socket and a connector to solve the problem that in the related art, the electrical plug holes in the socket are usually in an exposed state, and liquid is likely to enter the electrical plug holes, resulting in a short circuit.

[0023] In a first aspect, the present application provides a socket, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the socket includes a waterproof housing 10 and a socket body 20.

[0024] Among them, the waterproof housing 10 includes a first cover body 11 and a second cover body 12. The first cover body 11 and the second cover body 12 form a waterproof cavity 131. A limit through port 111 communicating with the waterproof cavity 131 is provided on the first cover body 11. The second cover body 12 can move relative to the first cover body 11 to open and close the waterproof cavity 131. It can be understood that the waterproof cavity 131 is formed by enclosing the first cover body 11 and the second cover body 12. The second cover body 12 can be rotatably connected, slidably connected or connected by other movable connection methods to the first cover body 11. The second cover body 12 can also be detachably arranged on the first cover body 11. The movable track of the second cover body 12 has a closed position. When the second cover body 12 is in the closed position (such as Figure 8 ), the waterproof cavity 131 is in a closed state. When the second cover body 12 moves in a direction away from the first cover body 11 from the closed position, the waterproof cavity 131 is in an open state. Figure 1 In

[0025] the position of the second cover body 12 in Figure 9 and Figure 10 is the maximum open position of the waterproof cavity 131. At this time, the waterproof cavity 131 is opened to the maximum extent.

[0025] The socket body 20 is located on the side of the first cover body 11 where the limit through port 111 is provided. The socket body 20 includes a male plug-in part 21. The plug-in end of the male plug-in part 21 is inserted into the waterproof cavity 131 through the limit through port 111. It can be understood that the male plug-in part 21 is a component for electrically connecting the plug to a power source such as the power grid. The plug-in end of the male plug-in part 21 refers to the end of the male plug-in part 21 used for plugging, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 . The plug includes a female plug-in part 31 and a wire 32 connected to the female plug-in part 31. The female plug-in part 31 is connected to the energy storage device through the wire 32. The plug-in end of the male plug-in part 21 has a first plug interface 211. The female plug-in part 31 is inserted into the male plug-in part 21 from the first plug interface 211 to realize the plugging of the female plug-in part 31 and the male plug-in part 21, and further realize the connection between the energy storage device and the power source such as the power grid. The type of the energy storage device can be selected according to actual needs and is not limited in the present application. The energy storage device can only have the functions of charging and powering electronic devices, and the energy storage device can also have the function of reversely powering the power source such as the power grid.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, a wire routing opening 132 communicating with the waterproof cavity 131 is provided on the side of at least one of the first cover body 11 and the second cover body 12. It should be noted that when the socket is not needed, the waterproof cavity 131 can be kept closed, and the second cover body 12 can be used to provide shielding for the male plug-in part 21, preventing water from entering the male plug-in part 21 and causing a short circuit. In addition, the wire routing opening 132 can allow the wire 32 of the plug to pass through when the female plug-in part 31 of the plug is inserted into the male plug-in part 21. Through the setting of the wire routing opening 132, when the female plug-in part 31 needs to be inserted into the male plug-in part 21, first move the second cover body 12 to open the waterproof cavity 131, insert the female plug-in part 31 into the male plug-in part 21, and then move the second cover body 12 to close the waterproof cavity 131. At this time, both the female plug-in part 31 and the male plug-in part 21 are located in the waterproof cavity 131. The wire routing opening 132 provides a wire routing channel for the wire 32 of the plug, and the wire 32 can pass out of the waterproof cavity 131 through the wire routing opening 132. The first cover body 11 and the second cover body 12 provide protection and shielding for the female plug-in part 31 and the male plug-in part 21, so that the socket still has good waterproof performance during use, preventing water from entering the male plug-in part 21 and causing a short circuit during the use of the socket. Moreover, the wire routing opening 132 can also provide a limit for the female plug-in part 31, preventing the female plug-in part 31 from rotating during use and causing the wire 32 to be twisted and wound.

[0027] It should also be noted that the socket can be installed on a wall or other positions, the socket body 20 is hidden in the wall, the waterproof shell 10 protrudes outside the wall, and the wire routing opening 132 is arranged downward. When water droplets fall on the waterproof shell 10, they will flow downward under the action of gravity and are not likely to enter the waterproof cavity 131 from the wire routing opening 132. Even if the socket is set in an outdoor environment such as a balcony, rainwater is not likely to enter the waterproof cavity 131 through the wire routing opening 132, so that the socket can meet the user's outdoor use requirements.

[0028] Continue to refer to Figure 1As shown in the figure, in an embodiment of the present application, the second cover 12 is rotatably connected to the first cover 11 through a rotating member 151. The second cover 12 can rotate relative to the first cover 11 around the rotating member 151 to open and close the waterproof cavity 131. The axial direction XX of the rotating member 151 is perpendicular to the axial direction YY of the male plug-in portion 21. It can be understood that the rotating member 151 can be a rotating shaft. The axial direction XX of the rotating member 151 is the extension direction of the rotation axis line of the rotating member 151, and the axial direction YY of the male plug-in portion 21 is the extension direction of the axis line of the male plug-in portion 21. The second cover 12 is connected to the first cover 11 in a rotatable manner. When the second cover 12 rotates away from the first cover 11 from the closed position, the waterproof cavity 131 is opened. When the second cover 12 rotates towards the first cover 11 to the closed position, the waterproof cavity 131 is closed, making the movement of the second cover 12 and the opening and closing of the waterproof cavity 131 more convenient.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, the waterproof housing 10 further includes a first locking assembly 14. The first locking assembly 14 includes a first locking member and a second locking member. The first locking member is disposed on the first cover 11; the second locking member is disposed on the second cover 12. The second locking member and the first locking member can be locked (such as Figure 8 ) and unlocked (such as Figure 1 ) to lock and unlock the second cover 12 and the first cover 11. It can be understood that when the waterproof cavity 131 is in the closed state, locking the first locking member and the second locking member can achieve the locking of the first cover 11 and the second cover 12, thereby fixing the second cover 12 to prevent the second cover 12 from moving and opening the waterproof cavity 131 due to factors such as strong wind or vibration during use; when it is necessary to open the waterproof cavity 131, after unlocking the first locking member and the second locking member, the second cover 12 can move away from the first cover 11 to open the waterproof cavity 131.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first locking member is one of a locking buckle 141 and a locking groove 142, and the second locking member is the other of the locking buckle 141 and the locking groove 142. The locking buckle 141 is engaged with the locking groove 142 to keep the waterproof cavity 131 in the closed state (such as Figure 8 ); the locking buckle 141 is separated from the locking groove 142 under an external force to keep the waterproof cavity 131 in the open state (such as Figure 1 ). It can be understood that taking the Figure 8 shown perspective as an example, when the waterproof cavity 131 is in the closed state, the second cover 12 is fixed by the engagement of the locking buckle 141 and the locking groove 142. When it is necessary to open the waterproof cavity 131, move the second cover 12 upward to apply an upward force to the locking buckle 141, so that after the locking buckle 141 is separated from the locking groove 142 under the external force, the second cover 12 can be moved upward to open the waterproof cavity 131.

[0031] Among them, as Figure 1 and Figure 8 shown, the first locking member can be arranged on the outer side of the first cover body 11, and the second locking member can be arranged on the outer side of the second cover body 12. When the second cover body 12 is in the closed position, the second cover body 12 closes the waterproof cavity 131, and both the locking buckle 141 and the locking slot 142 are located outside the waterproof cavity 131, and the locking buckle 141 is engaged in the locking slot 142. When the second cover body 12 rotates upward from the closed position, the locking buckle 141 is pulled out of the locking slot 142 under the action of an external force. After the locking buckle 141 is separated from the locking slot 142, the second cover body 12 can continue to rotate upward to open the waterproof cavity 131.

[0032] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the first locking member can also be arranged on the inner side of the first cover body 11, and the second locking member can also be arranged on the inner side of the second cover body 12. When the second cover body 12 is in the closed position, the second cover body 12 closes the waterproof cavity 131, and both the locking buckle 141 and the locking slot 142 are located inside the waterproof cavity 131, and the locking buckle 141 is engaged in the locking slot 142. When the second cover body 12 rotates upward from the closed position, the locking buckle 141 is pulled out of the locking slot 142 under the action of an external force. After the locking buckle 141 is separated from the locking slot 142, the second cover body 12 can continue to rotate upward to open the waterproof cavity 131.

[0033] Furthermore, the locking buckle 141 can be an elastic buckle, so that the locking buckle 141 and the locking slot 142 can be locked more tightly, and the locking buckle 141 is more likely to be separated from the locking slot 142 under the action of a large external force.

[0034] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown. In other embodiments, the first locking member can also be the first magnetic member 143, and the second locking member can be the second magnetic member 144. When the waterproof cavity 131 is in the closed state, the first magnetic member 143 and the second magnetic member 144 are magnetically attracted to each other, thereby fixing the second cover body 12 to prevent the second cover body 12 from moving and opening the waterproof cavity 131 due to factors such as strong wind or vibration during use; when it is necessary to open the waterproof cavity 131, move the second cover body 12 away from the first cover body 11 against the suction force between the second magnetic member 144 and the first magnetic member 143 to open the waterproof cavity 131, making the opening and closing of the waterproof cavity 131 more convenient.

[0035] Further, the first magnetic member 143 can be disposed within the first cover 11, and the second magnetic member 144 can be disposed within the second cover 12, which can prevent the first magnetic member 143 from protruding from the first cover 11 and the second magnetic member 144 from protruding from the second cover 12 and affecting the closing of the second cover 12 with the first cover 11. In one embodiment, both the first magnetic member 143 and the second magnetic member 144 include a magnet 145, a magnet cover 145 for the magnet, and a decorative plate 147. The magnet 145 in the first magnetic member 143 is received within the first cover 11, and the magnet cover 145 is disposed on the magnet 145 to fix the magnet 145 to the first cover 11. The decorative plate 147 is located on the side of the magnet cover 145 away from the magnet 145 and is used to close the cavity on the first cover 11 for receiving the magnet 145. The magnet 145 in the second magnetic member 144 is received within the second cover 12, and the magnet cover 145 is disposed on the magnet 145 to fix the magnet 145 to the second cover 12. The decorative plate 147 is located on the side of the magnet cover 145 away from the magnet 145 and is used to close the cavity on the second cover 12 for receiving the magnet 145.

[0036] In some embodiments, an anti-slip structure 152 is provided on the outer side of the second cover 12. The anti-slip structure 152 can increase the friction with the second cover 12 when holding the second cover 12. When opening the waterproof cavity 131, the user can hold at the anti-slip structure 152 and rotate the second cover 12 upward to separate the first locking member from the second locking member, thereby making it more convenient to open the waterproof cavity 131.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the waterproof housing 10 further includes an elastic member 153 (such as Figure 5 ). The elastic member 153 is connected to the first cover 11 and the second cover 12. When the first locking member and the second locking member are locked, the elastic member 153 is in a compressed state. When the first locking member and the second locking member are unlocked, the second cover 12 moves relative to the first cover 11 under the elastic force of the elastic member 153 to open the waterproof cavity 131. It can be understood that when the waterproof cavity 131 is in a closed state and the first locking member and the second locking member are locked, the elastic member 153 is in a compressed or stretched state. When it is necessary to open the waterproof cavity 131, when the first locking member and the second locking member are unlocked, the second cover 12 can automatically pop open under the elastic force provided by the elastic member 153 and remain at a limited open position, thereby making it more convenient to open the waterproof cavity 131. Taking the second cover 12 and the first cover 11 being rotatably connected as an example, when the first locking member and the second locking member are unlocked, the second cover 12 can rotate away from the first cover 11 under the elastic force of the elastic member 153 to open the waterproof cavity 131. Among them, the elastic member 153 can be a torsion spring, and the torsion spring can be sleeved on the rotating member 151.

[0038] such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a limiting groove 112 is provided at the edge of the first cover body 11. The limiting groove 112 has a first notch 112a located on the inner side surface of the first cover body 11. The groove wall surface of the limiting groove 112 includes a first groove wall surface 112b opposite to the first notch 112a. The rotating member 151 is located in the limiting groove 112. The second cover body 12 rotates away from the first cover body 11 to open the waterproof cavity 131. When the second cover body 12 abuts against the first groove wall surface 112b, the second cover body 12 rotates to the maximum opening position. It should be noted that Figure 1 and Figure 2 the position of the second cover body 12 in and is the maximum opening position. At this time, the waterproof cavity 131 is opened to the maximum extent. The first groove wall surface 112b abuts against the second cover body 12, preventing the second cover body 12 from continuing to rotate away from the first cover body 11 and preventing the second cover body 12 from rotating too much and colliding with the wall when opening the waterproof cavity 131.

[0039] Furthermore, the second cover body 12 may include a cover body portion and a connecting portion 121 connected to the cover body portion. The cover body portion is located outside the limiting groove 112 and is used to open and close the waterproof cavity 131. The connecting portion 121 is located in the limiting groove 112 and is connected to the rotating member 151. When the connecting portion 121 abuts against the first groove wall surface 112b, the second cover body 12 rotates to the maximum opening position, which can prevent the limiting groove 112 from interfering with the movement of the cover body portion and affecting the normal rotation of the cover body portion.

[0040] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the waterproof housing 10 may further include a limiting assembly 16. The limiting assembly 16 includes a first limiting member and a second limiting member. The first limiting member is provided on the first cover body 11, and the second limiting member is provided on the second cover body 12. When the second cover body 12 rotates to the maximum opening position, the first limiting member is connected to the second limiting member to fix the second cover body 12. When the second cover body 12 rotates from the maximum opening position towards the first cover body 11, the first limiting member is separated from the second limiting member under the action of an external force. It can be understood that when the second cover body 12 moves to the maximum opening position, the second cover body 12 can be fixed by the connection between the first limiting member and the second limiting member, so that the waterproof cavity 131 remains in the maximum opening state, facilitating the insertion of the female plug-in portion 31 and the male plug-in portion 21. When it is necessary to close the waterproof cavity 131, rotating the second cover body 12 can cause the first limiting member to be separated from the second limiting member under the action of an external force, making the closing of the waterproof cavity 131 more convenient.

[0041] In one embodiment, the first limiting member is disposed on the groove wall surface of the limiting groove 112, and the second limiting member is disposed on the side portion of the second cover body 12. One of the first limiting member and the second limiting member is a limiting buckle 161, and the other of the first limiting member and the second limiting member is a limiting slot 162. When the second cover body 12 rotates to the maximum opening position, the limiting buckle 161 snaps into the limiting slot 162 to fix the second cover body 12. When the second cover body 12 rotates from the maximum opening position towards the direction close to the first cover body 11, the limiting buckle 161 is separated from the limiting slot 162 under the action of an external force, making the opening and closing of the waterproof cavity 131 more convenient. Further, the limiting buckle 161 can be an elastic buckle, so that the limiting buckle 161 and the limiting slot 162 can be clamped more tightly, and when the second cover body 12 is rotated, the limiting buckle 161 is more likely to be separated from the limiting slot 162 under the action of a large external force.

[0042] It should also be noted that in other embodiments, the first limiting member and the second limiting member can also be magnetic members capable of attracting each other. When the second cover body 12 rotates to the maximum opening position, the first limiting member and the second limiting member attract each other, so that the second cover body 12 can be fixed at the maximum opening position. When it is necessary to close the waterproof cavity 131, the second cover body 12 can be rotated by overcoming the magnetic attraction force between the first limiting member and the second limiting member. In other embodiments, the first limiting member and the second limiting member can also be friction members. When the second cover body 12 rotates to the maximum opening position, the first limiting member and the second limiting member are in contact, and there is a large frictional resistance between the first limiting member and the second limiting member, so that the second cover body 12 can be fixed at the maximum opening position under the frictional resistance. When it is necessary to close the waterproof cavity 131, the second cover body 12 can be rotated by overcoming the frictional resistance between the first limiting member and the second limiting member.

[0043] It should also be noted that in other embodiments, other methods can also be used to provide a limit for the second cover body 12. For example, a damping gear can be provided on the rotating member 151, and a mating gear can be provided on the groove wall surface of the limiting groove 112. The mating gear meshes with the damping gear to provide resistance for the rotation of the rotating member 151, so that when the second cover body 12 rotates to the maximum opening position, the second cover body 12 can be fixed at the maximum opening position under the resistance provided by the damping gear, and the rotation of the second cover body 12 can be relatively gentle. The specific working principle of the damping gear has been publicly known in the related art and will not be elaborated in this application.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a first mounting portion 22 is provided on the side of the male plugging portion 21. The first mounting portion 22 is used to connect with the female plugging portion 31 to fix the female plugging portion 31 to the male plugging portion 21. It should be noted that after the female plugging portion 31 is plugged into the male plugging portion 21, connecting the female plugging portion 31 to the first mounting portion 22 can fix the female plugging portion 31 and prevent the female plugging portion 31 from moving during use.

[0045] Further, the first mounting portion 22 is used to connect with a second mounting portion 33 on the side of the female plugging portion 31 (such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 ). Threaded holes can be provided on both the first mounting portion 22 and the second mounting portion 33. After the female plugging portion 31 is plugged into the male plugging portion 21, the threaded holes of the first mounting portion 22 and the second mounting portion 33 are in opposite positions, and the connection between the first mounting portion 22 and the second mounting portion 33 is realized by inserting screws into the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole, making the connection between the female plugging portion 31 and the male plugging portion 21 more convenient.

[0046] Among them, one or more first mounting portions 22 can be provided.
