[0024] Among them, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" used in the following description refer to the directions in the drawings, and the terms "bottom surface" and "top surface", "inner" and "outer" respectively refer to the directions towards or away from the geometric center of a specific component.
[0025] As shown in the figure, a controller socket using audio pins includes a socket housing 1. A top cover 2 and a bottom cover 3 are respectively arranged at the top and bottom of the socket housing 1. Four metal socket cores 4 are arranged inside the socket housing 1. Four sockets 5 corresponding to the metal socket cores 4 are provided on the top cover 2. A horizontal PCB board 6 is arranged at the bottom end of the metal socket core 4 inside the socket housing 1. The bottom end of the metal socket core 4 is connected to the PCB board 6. An audio pin 7 is arranged below the PCB board 6 inside the socket housing 1. The wiring end of the audio pin 7 is electrically connected to the PCB board 6 (the connection method between the PCB board 6 and the audio pin 7 is prior art and will not be elaborated in this embodiment). A through slot 8 for the insertion end of the audio pin 7 to pass through is provided on the bottom cover 3. The audio pin 7 is specifically a 3.5mm audio pin.
[0026] By setting audio pins 7 with high adaptability to replace multiple metal pins, and setting corresponding audio interfaces on the device, power supply and information transmission are carried out simultaneously, effectively reducing the production cost of the socket itself, improving the installation efficiency of its subsequent devices, and reducing the labor cost of device installation.
[0027] Threads 9 are arranged at the bottom of the circumferential side wall of the socket housing 1. A limiting ring 10 is arranged at the top of the circumferential side wall of the socket housing 1 above the threads 9. After the device is installed and tightened through the threads 9, a rubber sealing ring 11 is sleeved below the limiting ring 10 on the circumferential side wall of the socket housing 1 to improve the stability and sealing performance of the socket after installation through the rubber sealing ring.
[0028] Limiting strips 12 are arranged along the height direction of the inner wall of the socket housing 1. Limiting grooves 13 matching the limiting strips 12 are provided on the side wall of the PCB board 6. When installing the PCB board 6, it is convenient to determine the angular position of the PCB board 6 to ensure its subsequent installation accuracy.
[0029] A protective cover 14 is also provided on the top of the socket housing 1. An abutting ring 15 that cooperates with the protective cover 14 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the socket housing 1. When the socket is in a non-operating state, the protective cover 14 plays a protective role for it. A positioning member is provided between the protective cover 14 and the socket housing 1, and a rubber sealing ring 16 is provided on the surface of the abutting ring 15.
[0030] The positioning member includes a number of L-shaped clamping blocks 17 provided on the inner wall of the circumference of the protective cover. A number of L-shaped clamping grooves 18 that cooperate with the L-shaped clamping blocks 17 are provided on the circumferential side wall of the socket housing 1. After pressing the protective cover 14 and rotating it so that the L-shaped clamping blocks 17 are clamped into the L-shaped clamping grooves 18, the protective cover 14 is abutted against the rubber sealing ring 16 to ensure the sealing performance between the protective cover 14 and the socket housing 1 and prevent external impurities and dust from entering the protective cover 14.
[0031] An annular groove 19 for embedding the bottom cover 3 is formed along the circumferential side of the inner wall at the bottom end of the socket housing 1, which is convenient for installing the bottom cover 3.
