[0026] The structure of the embedded floor socket in this embodiment is as Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, it includes a housing base 1, a face cover 2 and a functional component 3. The functional component 3 can be a socket module. The housing base 1 is a hollow structure with an open upper end. The functional component 3 is fixed inside the housing base 1. The face cover 2 is detachably and pivotally mounted on the upper port of the housing base 1 through a movable connection mechanism 4. An inlet is provided at the bottom of the housing base 1 for introducing a power cord to be connected to the functional component 3. A recessed groove 21 is provided on the upper surface of the face cover 2, and floor materials can be embedded in the recessed groove 21. At least one notch 22 is provided at the edge of the face cover 2, and a soft rubber sleeve 23 is provided in the notch 22. The soft rubber sleeve 23 can be made of soft rubber materials such as silica gel and rubber. When the face cover 2 is in the closed state, a receiving gap for accommodating a plug is provided between the functional component 3 and the face cover 2. To facilitate opening the face cover 2, a lifting handle 25 is movably mounted on the face cover 2 at the notch 22. When it is necessary to open the face cover 2, the face cover 2 is driven to open by lifting the lifting handle 25.

[0027] When installing the floor socket in this embodiment, a hole with a depth matching the height dimension of the floor socket is preset on the floor 5, and the floor socket is embedded in the hole (the power cord is introduced into the housing base 1 through the inlet and electrically connected to the functional component 3), so that the upper surface of the floor socket is flush with the upper surface of the floor 5. Materials matching the color of the floor material can be embedded in the recessed groove 21 to enhance the aesthetics. When in use, after opening the face cover 2, the power plug is inserted into the housing base 1 and connected to the functional component. The wire connected to the power plug passes through the soft rubber sleeve 23, and then the face cover 2 can be closed. The soft rubber sleeve 23 can protect the wire and has a sealing and waterproof and dustproof effect.

[0028] To adapt to the installation of the functional component 3 inside the housing base 1, a mounting plate 13 is fixed on the housing base 1. The functional component 3 is fixed on the mounting plate 13. The outer shell of the functional component 3 can be integrally formed with the mounting plate 13 or the functional component 3 is installed on the mounting plate 13 by a clamping method. The mounting plate 13 can be fixed inside the housing base 1 by welding, riveting or clamping.

[0029] In some embodiments, the housing base 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure, which includes a bottom shell 11 and an upper shell 12. The bottom shell 11 and the upper shell 12 are threadedly connected. Such a setting can make the height dimension of the housing base 1 adjustable, so as to be able to adapt to installation in holes with various different depths and ensure that the upper end of the floor socket is flush with the ground after installation. The mounting plate 13 is fixed on the bottom shell 11.

[0030] In some embodiments, there are multiple inlet ports, and the multiple inlet ports are circumferentially distributed on the side wall of the housing base 1. In this way, the power cord can be introduced into the interior of the housing base 1 through the multiple inlet ports, and the applicability is better. As an optimized solution, a sealing gasket 15 can be arranged at the inlet port. When the inlet port is empty, it can be closed by the sealing gasket 15 to play a protective role. Moreover, when the power cord passes through, the sealing gasket 15 can be punctured for threading. In this way, it is not necessary to remove the sealing gasket 15, and the sealing and protective function of the sealing gasket 15 can still be retained; the sealing gasket 15 can be made of soft rubber materials such as rubber and silica gel.

[0031] As Figure 2 shown, a support step 14 facing upward is provided at the upper port inside the housing base 1. When the face cover 2 is in the closed state, the support step 14 supports the bottom of the face cover 2, so as to effectively support the face cover 2 and enhance the compressive capacity of the face cover 2.

[0032] As Figure 3 shown, a baffle 26 for resisting and limiting the soft rubber sleeve 23 is provided in the notch 22. The soft rubber sleeve 23 is limited by the baffle 26 to prevent the soft rubber sleeve 23 from falling off.

[0033] In some embodiments, a wire passing port 24 for the wire to pass through is provided on the soft rubber sleeve 23. A lip 27 protrudes from the inner wall of the wire passing port 24. Multiple lips 27 can be provided. After the wire passes through the wire passing port 24, the lip 27 abuts against the side of the wire, and the lip 27 can play a role in blocking dust and water.

[0034] As Figure 4 shown, the movable connection mechanism 4 includes a connection shaft 41 fixed to the bottom of the face cover 2 and a connection piece 42 fixed to the housing base 1. The lower end of the connection shaft 41 passes through the through hole 421 on the connection piece 42 and a limiting member 43 is fixed at its lower end. The function of the limiting member 43 is to prevent the connection shaft 41 from completely disengaging from the through hole 421. Moreover, through the above cooperation, the connection shaft 41 can move up and down and rotate relative to the connection piece 42. In actual use, when the face cover 2 is opened, the face cover 2 can be lifted upward and completely removed from the upper port of the housing base 1, and then the face cover 2 is rotated to fully expose the upper port of the housing base 1.

[0035] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are only examples clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And these obvious changes or modifications derived from the essential spirit of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
