[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present utility model provides a flap waterproof and hidden socket, which includes a socket housing 1. The socket housing 1 is connected with a connecting plug 2. A notch 3 is provided on the socket housing 1. The socket housing 1 is hinged with a socket 5 through hinge shafts 4 on both side walls; the socket 5 includes two side plates 6, a plug board 7, a flat board 8, a connecting portion 9 and internal connecting components. The two side plates 6 are hinged with the hinge shafts 4. The lower end cross section of the connecting portion 9 is arc-shaped. A horizontally placed pressing and rebounding device 10 is installed in the socket housing 1. The pressing and rebounding device 10 can be pressed repeatedly to achieve two states of popping up and retracting. The output end of the pressing and rebounding device 10 is closely attached to the lower end of the connecting portion 9 through a magnetic head 11. The lower end of the connecting portion 9 is in magnetic contact with the magnetic head 11; when not in use, the flat board 8 is in a flat state. When using the socket 5, press the flat board 8, and the socket 5 rotates around the hinge shaft 4, so that the connecting portion 9 presses the pressing and rebounding device 10 through the magnetic head 11 to make it pop up. After the pressing and rebounding device 10 pops up, it reversely presses the connecting portion 9 of the socket 5 through the magnetic head 11, and pushes the plug board 7 and the flat board 8 of the socket 5 to tilt at a certain angle and then be fixed. Furthermore, it can be used through the exposed and tilted plug board 7; after use, when pressing the flat board 8 again to make the pressing and rebounding device 10 retract, the socket 5 rotates around the hinge shaft 4, the flat board 8 fills the notch 3 to be in the same plane as the top surface of the socket housing 1, and the connecting portion 9 is adsorbed and fixed by the magnetic head 11, so that the plug board 7 is hidden in the socket housing 1, thereby achieving the effects of dust prevention and waterproofing and making the use safer.

[0025] Specifically, the plug board 7 includes an A side 12 that intersects with the connecting portion 9 and a B side 13 that intersects with the flat board 8. The distance from the A side 12 to the hinge shaft 4 is equal to the distance from the B side 13 to the hinge shaft 4; in this embodiment, since the distances from the A side 12 and the B side 13 to the hinge shaft 4 are the same, the positions of the A side 12 and the B side 13 can be exchanged with each other during rotation, and there will be no interference at the edge of the notch 3 during the position exchange.

[0026] Specifically, both the cross sections of the A side 12 and the B side 13 are arc-shaped structures; in this embodiment, through the design of the arc-shaped structure, while ensuring the sealing performance, it is not easy to be interfered by the edge of the notch 3 during rotation.

[0027] Specifically, the flat plate 8 further includes a C side 14 that intersects with the connecting portion 9; in this embodiment, when rotating, when the C side 14 reaches the edge position of the notch 3, the flat plate 8 fills the notch 3 and the top surface of the socket housing 1 to the same plane.

[0028] Specifically, the cross-section of the C side 14 is an arc structure; in this embodiment, through the design of the arc structure, while ensuring the sealing performance, it is not easily interfered by the edge of the notch 3 during rotation.

[0029] Specifically, when the flat plate 8 is laid flat, both sides of the notch 3 are in contact with the B side 13 and the C side 14 respectively; in this embodiment, when the flat plate 8 is laid flat, the flat plate 8 fills the notch 3 to seal it, hiding the plug board 7 into the socket housing 1, achieving the effects of dust prevention and waterproofing.

[0030] Specifically, a sealing groove is provided around the notch 3 and a sealing ring 15 is installed; in this embodiment, the sealing performance when the flat plate 8 is laid flat is further enhanced, improving the dust prevention and waterproofing effects.

[0031] Specifically, a pressing indicator 16 is provided on the flat plate 8; in this embodiment, the pressing indicator 16 is designed to correspond to the pressing rebound device 10 to ensure the balance and stability during long-term pressing.

[0032] Specifically, installation portions are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the socket housing 1 and are connected with installation screws 17; in this embodiment, it is convenient to fix the socket as a whole at the usage location through the installation screws 17.

[0033] To facilitate the understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in the actual process will be described in detail below.

[0034] Working principle: When not in use, the flat plate 8 is in a laid-flat state. When using the socket 5, press the pressing indicator 16 of the flat plate 8, and the socket 5 rotates around the hinge shaft 4, so that the connecting portion 9 squeezes the pressing rebound device 10 through the magnetic head 11 to make it pop up. After the pressing rebound device 10 pops up, it reversely squeezes the connecting portion 9 of the socket 5 through the magnetic head 11, pushing the plug board 7 and the flat plate 8 of the socket 5 to tilt at a certain angle and then be fixed. Since the distances from the A side 12 and the B side 13 to the hinge shaft 4 are the same, after rotation, the A side 12 can reach the edge position of the notch 3 where the original B side 13 is located, and thus the exposed and tilted plug board 7 can be used; after use, when pressing the pressing indicator 16 of the flat plate 8 again to retract the pressing rebound device 10, the socket 5 rotates around the hinge shaft 4, the B side 13 returns to the original position of the A side 12 again, and the C side 14 reaches the edge position of the notch 3. The flat plate 8 fills the notch 3 and the top surface of the socket housing 1 to the same plane, and the connecting portion 9 is adsorbed and fixed by the magnetic head 11, hiding the plug board 7 into the socket housing 1, and thus can cooperate with the sealing ring 15 to achieve the effects of dust prevention and waterproofing, making the use safer.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
