[0026] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore only examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which this utility model belongs.

[0028] Example 1: The outlet assembly of the utility model embodiment is as follows Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a mounting frame 1 and a cover 2, the mounting frame 1 is provided with at least one outlet hole 12, Figure 1 The number of the outlet holes 12 can be set on the mounting frame 1 according to actual needs, and the cover 2 can be rotatably installed at the outlet hole 12, and the outlet hole 12 can be opened and closed by rotating the cover 2.

[0029] Reference Figures 2 to 5 , a clamping piece 1 3 is provided on the mounting frame 1, and a clamping piece 2 31 is provided on the cover 2. When the cover 2 is closed, the outlet hole 12 is closed, and the clamping piece 1 3 and the clamping piece 2 31 are clamped together. The clamping piece 1 3 and the clamping piece 2 31 cooperate to limit the rotation of the cover 2, thereby avoiding the problem that the cover 2 is easy to flip open. During the flipping and opening process of the cover 2, the clamping piece 1 3 and the clamping piece 2 31 are disengaged to release the limit on the cover 2. In addition, this design makes the opening and closing operations of the outlet hole 12 convenient.

[0030] One of the card part 1 3 and the card part 2 31 includes a hook 41, and the other of the card part 1 3 and the card part 2 31 includes a block 42 that cooperates with the hook 41; specifically, the hook 41 can be set on the installation frame 1, and the block 42 can be set on the cover 2 to cooperate with it; or, the block 42 can be set on the installation frame 1, and the hook 41 can be set on the cover 2 to cooperate with it, and at least one of the hook 41 and the block 42 can be set to an elastic structure. During the engagement process, the block 42 and the hook 41 will produce interference, and the elastic structure will produce appropriate elastic deformation to avoid the interference. When the cover 2 is closed in place, the elastic structure is reset so that the block 42 and the hook 41 can form an effective engagement, and the engagement process of the two is smooth and reliable.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the hook 41 is provided with a guide surface 1 412, and the block 42 is provided with a guide surface 2 421 facing the hook 41; the guide surface 1 412 and the guide surface 2 421 can guide the engagement of the hook 41 and the block 42 during the closing process of the cover 2, so that the engagement process is relatively smooth; in actual operation, only the guide surface 1 412 can be provided on the hook 41, or only the guide surface 2 421 can be provided on the block 42.

[0032] In addition, a limiting surface 422 is provided on the block 42; when the block 42 and the hook 41 are engaged in place, the limiting surface 422 abuts against the inner side of the hook portion 413 of the hook 41 to form a stop, thereby preventing the block 42 and the hook 41 from easily detaching; this design can make the block 42 and the hook 41 reliably connected, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the hook 41 is preferably provided with two hook portions 413 disposed opposite each other, with a slot 414 formed between the two hook portions 413 for the engaging block 42 to engage. When the cover 2 is closed, the engaging block 42 engages with the slot 414, thereby effectively limiting the position of the cover 2. As a modified embodiment, in actual operation, the hook 41 may be provided with only one hook portion 413.

[0034] Furthermore, the block 42 is a convex block structure. When the hook 41 is provided with two hook portions 413, there are two guide surfaces 421 on the side of the block 42 facing the hook 41, and the two guide surfaces 421 are set at an angle. When the hook 41 and the block 42 are connected, the two guide surfaces 421 on the block 42 slide over the side walls of the two hook portions 413 respectively. At the same time, two limiting surfaces 422 are also provided, which respectively cooperate with the two hook portions 413 stops; the cross-section of the block 42 is approximately prismatic.

[0035] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 5The mounting frame 1 includes a frame seat 14 and a frame 141 connected to each other. The frame seat 14 and the frame 141 are designed to be separated and combined, so that the frame 141 and the frame 141 can be made of different material combinations to achieve ideal performance requirements. For example, the frame 141 can be made of metal or high-strength materials to improve product performance and texture, while the frame seat 14 can be made of plastic or other materials to achieve diversified applications. For example, the clamp 3 is set on the frame seat 14, the wire outlet hole 12 is set on the frame 141, and the frame seat 14 is sleeved outside the frame 141. The frame seat 14 and the frame 141 are both provided with through holes 142, which facilitate the use of screws to pass through the through holes 142 and fix them to the panel 6. The actual operation is not limited to this specific setting method.

[0036] As a variation of the above solution: the installation frame 1 is set as an integrally formed structure with connection holes provided thereon. During installation, screws are used to pass through the connection holes and fixedly connect to the connection panel 6. This structure is simple and easy to produce.

[0037] At the same time, a pulling groove can be opened on the installation frame 1 according to needs, and a pulling piece 5 can be rotatably provided in the pulling groove, so that the panel on the ground socket can be opened by flipping the pulling piece 5 to pull the panel.

[0038] Reference Figures 2 to 5 In order to facilitate production, the hook 41 is integrally provided on the frame seat 14. The frame seat 14 can be formed by injection molding, and the card block 42 is integrally provided on the cover 2. The cover 2 is connected to the frame seat 14 through a rotating shaft to realize a rotatable connection between the cover 2 and the mounting frame 1.

[0039] Example 2: The floor socket structure in this embodiment is as follows Figure 6 As shown, it includes a panel 6 and a face frame 7. The panel 6 can be opened and closed and flipped up and down relative to the face frame 7. The panel 6 is installed with an outlet assembly in any of the above-mentioned implementation schemes. Since the floor socket adopts the outlet assembly in the above-mentioned technical solution, it has all the advantages of the above-mentioned outlet assembly, which will not be repeated here.

[0040] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above description are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. However, obvious variations or modifications arising from the essence of the present invention remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
