When the cover plate 20 is opened, the cover plate 20 can be connected to the area near the outside of the groove 10 to fix the cover plate 20, thereby preventing the cover plate 20 from blocking the socket 30.

[0034] After the cover plate 20 of the connector port assembly of this embodiment is opened, it is connected to the area near the outside of the groove 10 and then fixed. When the connector 50 is inserted into or removed from the socket 30, the cover plate 20 moves away, thereby preventing the cover plate 20 from covering the socket 30, causing inconvenience in plugging the wires, and also preventing the cover plate 20 from being easily worn and bumped against other objects due to being suspended in the air. After the cover plate 20 covers the socket 30, it prevents external dust and the like from contaminating the socket 30 in the groove 10, thereby providing protection. The shape of the cover plate 20 matches the shape of the groove 10, for example, both are square.

[0035] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the cover plate 20 is connected to the area near the outside of the groove 10 through a concave-convex structure, and the cover plate 20 and the area near the outside of the groove 10 are interference fit through the concave-convex structure. Specifically, at least one plug-in portion 41 is convexly provided on the side of the cover plate 20 that is away from the open side of the groove 10, and at least one slot 42 that matches the plug-in portion 41 is concavely provided in the area near the outside of the groove 10. The plug-in portion 41 can be made of an elastic material, such as silicone. There is at least one plug-in portion 41, and the slot 42 can be in the shape of a long waist. There is one plug-in portion 41, and the plug-in portion 41 is in the shape of a long waist that matches the shape of the slot 42. For ease of installation, the plug-in portion 41 can be set on the side away from the socket 30. During the process of opening the cover plate 20, the cover plate 20 gradually approaches the area near the outside of the groove 10 until the plug-in portion 41 is inserted into the slot 42, forming an interference fit, thereby fixing the cover plate 20.

[0036] The number, size and distribution of the plug-in portions 41 can be designed accordingly based on the weight and size of the cover plate 20 , and are not specifically limited.

[0037] In some embodiments, the cover plate 20 and the area near the outside of the groove 10 are also connected by snaps; the cover plate 20 and the area near the outside of the groove 10 can also be fixed by screws; the cover plate 20 and the area near the outside of the groove 10 are also connected by magnetism.

[0038] In some embodiments, to facilitate the rotation of the cover plate 20, a connector 21 is provided on one side of the cover plate 20. The connector 21 is made of a flexible material, which refers to a material that can deform under external force and return to its original shape after the external force is removed, such as rubber. A retaining groove (not shown) that matches the connector 21 is provided on one side of the recess 10. The end of the connector 21 that is away from the cover plate 20 is accommodated in the retaining groove. During the opening and closing of the cover plate 20, the end of the connector 21 that is away from the cover plate 20 slides within the retaining groove. The connector 21 can have a curved structure.

[0039] In the present invention, during the opening and closing rotation of the cover 20, the end of the connecting portion 21, which is away from the cover 20, slides within the retaining groove. After the cover 20 is opened and the plug-in portion 41 is inserted into the slot 42, the connecting portion 21 is bent. After the cover 20 is closed over the groove 10, the connecting portion 21 is accommodated within the retaining groove. The connecting portion 21 can be in the form of an elongated strip, while the retaining groove can be in the form of a long, flat shape.

[0040] Please continue reading Figure 3 In some embodiments, the socket 30 is any one or any combination of USB, DC, BP, D-Tap, and Tap-C ports, and the number of the socket 30 is not limited.

[0041] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, a soft plug portion 22 is protruding from the side of the cover plate 20 that is open to the recess 10 and that mates with the socket 30. When the cover plate 20 covers the recess 10, the soft plug portion 22 is received within a corresponding socket 30. The soft plug portion 22 may be a threaded plug. When the cover plate 20 covers the recess 10, the soft plug portion 22 is received within the corresponding socket 30. This not only strengthens the connection between the cover plate 20 and the recess 10 but also further prevents contaminants such as dust from entering the socket 30.

[0042] In some embodiments, the socket 30 is in any of the following shapes: square, elongated, circular, or waist-shaped.

[0043] In summary, after assembly, the cover plate 20 covers the groove 10, and the soft plug portion 22 is accommodated in the corresponding socket 30. In the process of opening the cover plate 20, the user lifts the cover plate 20 from the side of the cover plate 20 away from the connection portion 21 and rotates the cover plate 20, so that the soft plug portions 22 are separated from the sockets 30 one by one, and the connection portion 21 is gradually bent. After the plug-in portion 41 on the cover plate 20 is inserted into the slot 42, the cover plate 20 is fixed on the outer surface of the battery 200, and the user can insert the connector 50 into the corresponding socket 30 to supply power or transmit signals to external electronic devices, such as mobile phones, cameras, stabilizers, monitors, etc. Preferably, during the process of opening the cover plate 20, the rotation angle of the cover plate 20 is 180°. The cover plate 20 rotates from a position completely covering the groove 10 to a position completely separated from the groove 10, and the connection portion 21 bends from a flat plate into a U-shaped state. Under the action of external force, the action force between the plug-in portion 41 and the slot 42 is overcome, and the cover 20 can be rotated from the open state to the closed state.
