[0030] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings by way of specific embodiments. Refer to Figures 1-7 :

[0031] An outdoor waterproof power socket includes a base 1 and an upwardly flip-up waterproof cover 2. A socket module 3 is embedded in the base 1. The base 1 and the waterproof cover 2 are locked by a tongue lock 4. The waterproof cover 2 is provided with an installation hole 6 for fixing the lock body 5 of the tongue lock 4. A locking groove 7 with an upward opening is provided on the front side of the base 1. When the locking tongue 8 of the tongue lock 4 rotates to a vertically downward position, the locking tongue 8 abuts against the inner side of the front end of the locking groove 7 to form a locked state. When it rotates to a horizontal position, the locking tongue 8 disengages from the locking groove 7 to form an unlocked state. The width of the locking groove 7 is greater than the width of the locking tongue 8. In the locked state, the locking tongue 8 abuts against one side of the locking groove 7, and the other side of the locking groove 7 forms a clearance space for the rotation of the locking tongue 8.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the socket is not in use, as shown in the attached Figure 1 figure, the waterproof cover 2 is closed and locked, so that a rain-proof space is formed between the base 1 and the waterproof cover 2, effectively preventing rainwater from entering. When the socket needs to be used, as shown in the attached Figure 4 figure, the tongue lock 4 is opened, and then the waterproof cover 2 is flipped up to use the power socket. At the same time, the waterproof cover 2 can form a rain-proof awning structure. Comparing with the attached Figure 2 figure and the attached Figure 3 figure, the locking structure of this embodiment is: rotate the tongue lock 4 counterclockwise, and its locking tongue 8 rotates counterclockwise accordingly. When it rotates to the locking position, the locking tongue 8 abuts against the inner side of the front end of the locking groove 7 to form a locked state. Rotate the tongue lock 4 clockwise, and its locking tongue 8 rotates clockwise accordingly. The locking tongue 8 rotates out of the locking groove 7 from the clearance space of the locking groove 7, and the locking tongue 8 disengages from the locking groove 7 to unlock.

[0033] On this basis, this embodiment further provides a multiple waterproof structure, including:

[0034] Comparing with the attached Figure 4 figure, a waterproof eaves 9 is provided at the upper end of the above-mentioned base 1. The waterproof eaves 9 forms a shielding structure for the socket module 3. The installation surface of the socket module 3 is inclined backward from top to bottom. Further, the front side surface of the socket module 3 is consistent with its installation surface. The waterproof eaves 9 and the inclined surface can prevent rainwater and water splashes from splashing onto the socket panel, improving the waterproof effect.

[0035] The upper end of the above-mentioned waterproof cover 2 is provided with an arc-shaped water guiding surface 10. When the waterproof cover 2 is closed, the waterproof eaves 9 abuts against the inner side of the water guiding surface 10. The water guiding surface 10 can prevent rainwater from accumulating on the waterproof cover 2.

[0036] On the upper end and both sides of the base 1 described above, water guide grooves 13 are respectively provided. The water guide grooves 13 can ensure that rainwater can be quickly discharged to avoid water accumulation.

[0037] On the rear side of the base 1 described above, a sealing ring groove is provided. A sealing ring for sealing the installation surface of the base 1 is provided in the sealing ring groove. The sealing ring can further prevent rainwater from entering the interior and the installation joint of the waterproof socket box.

[0038] On this basis, this embodiment further provides multiple safety structures, including:

[0039] On both sides of the bottom of the waterproof cover 2 described above, wire dividing grooves 14 are provided. The wire dividing grooves 14 can prevent wires from overlapping and winding, keep the wires independent, and ensure electrical safety.

[0040] The socket module 3 is detachably connected to the base 1. On the rear side of the base 1, a reinforcement pressing plate 11 for protecting the socket module 3 is detachably provided; further, the reinforcement pressing plate 11 covers the socket module 3 and is fixedly connected to the base 1 through fasteners; further, the reinforcement pressing plate 11 is made of metal; the socket module 3 is designed and installed with the reinforcement pressing plate 11 for reinforcement, which can prevent module damage and detachment caused by improper force application and eliminate potential safety hazards.

[0041] The base 1 and the waterproof cover 2 are matched through a concave-convex structure; positioning plates are provided on both sides of the base 1, and when the waterproof cover 2 is closed, the positioning plates abut against the inner side walls of the waterproof cover 2; the concave-convex structure and the positioning plates can enable the base 1 and the waterproof cover 2 to be better matched.

[0042] An earthing terminal 12 is provided inside the base 1 described above. The earthing terminal 12 is electrically connected to the earthing terminal of the socket module 3; the base 1 is designed with an external earthing terminal to make up for the lack of an earthing wire in a two-hole socket, ensure the high efficiency and sensitivity of the leakage protector, and guarantee personal safety.

[0043] On this basis, this embodiment further provides multiple universality structures, including:

[0044] Refer to the appendix Figure 7 , the socket of this embodiment adopts a modular combination design, and various different socket modules 3 can be selected and combined according to user needs. For example, in addition to the power socket function, different function modules such as network, telephone, and USB can be matched.

[0045] The product can, according to user needs, adapt to socket modules 3 of various national systems and different function modules to meet the diverse needs of global users.

[0046] The interior of the waterproof cover 2 is designed with a large space, which can accommodate plugs of various sizes, improving the compatibility of the product and the user experience.

[0047] In order to make the waterproof cover 2 better serve as a rain shelter when using the socket, this embodiment provides a self-locking structure for the open state of the waterproof cover 2:

[0048] Refer to the attached Figure 5 and the attached Figure 6 As shown in the figure and the attached drawing, an installation seat 15 is provided at the upper end of the base 1. An articulated shaft 16 passing through both ends is arranged in the installation seat 15. A pair of articulated seats 17 hinged to the articulated shaft 16 are provided at the upper end of the waterproof cover. Self-locking seats 18 are arranged on both sides of the installation seat 15. A first self-locking protrusion 19 is arranged on the upper surface of the self-locking seat 18. A second self-locking protrusion 20 is arranged on the articulated seat 17. When the waterproof cover is opened, the front side of the first self-locking protrusion 19 abuts against the rear side of the second self-locking protrusion 20 to form a self-locking structure.

[0049] In order to make the self-locking structure more firm, the included angle between the rear side surface of the first self-locking protrusion 19 and the horizontal plane is smaller than the included angle between the front side surface and the horizontal plane. The front side surface of the second self-locking protrusion 20 and the rear side surface of the first self-locking protrusion 19 have the same inclination angle. The rear side surface of the second self-locking protrusion 20 and the front side surface of the first self-locking protrusion 19 have the same inclination angle.
