[0022] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in this embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a wall-mounted plug connector comprising a male-female plug 1 and a female socket 2. Both the plug 1 and the female socket 2 are equipped with terminals A for connecting wires. These terminals are conventional designs, capable of inserting wires and having screws for tightening or loosening. The female socket 2 is mounted in a wall cassette 3, and the internal terminals are used to connect to the wall wires. The terminals A within the plug 1 are used to connect to lighting wires, outlet wires, and the like. The female socket 2 has a front panel 21 with a socket 22 on it. The plug 1 has a male-female plug 11 at the rear end, which is mated to the socket 22. The plug 11 has a row of copper pins 111, and the socket 22 has a corresponding row of pin holes 221. Multiple pins and pin holes can be connected to each other to create multiple circuits, facilitating the control of multiple lights and outlets. Alternatively, the socket and plug can be interchanged.

[0024] The plug housing is provided with a tongue hook 13, the middle portion of which is hingedly connected to the housing. The front end of the tongue hook 13 is a pressure-bearing end 131, and the rear end has a hook head 132 for hooking onto the panel 21. The pressure-bearing end 131 can be pressed against the panel 21, disengaging the hook head 132. An elastic member also forces the hook head 132 back into position, allowing it to hook onto the panel 21 of the socket 2. The elastic member, not shown, can be a torsion spring or a spring positioned between the housing and the pressure-bearing end. The panel 21 also has a hook opening 211, and an inner wall of the hook opening 211 has a tongue 212 extending toward the interior of the dark box 3. After the plug 1 and the socket 2 are mated, the tongue hook 13 extends rearward through the hook opening 211 and hooks onto the tongue 212. Alternatively, the tongue hook can directly hook onto the outer edge of the socket panel. The socket 22 is located in the middle of the panel 21, the plug 11 is located in the middle of the rear end of the plug device 1, the tongue hook 13 is located at the upper end of the housing, and the tongue piece 212 is located on the lower side wall of the hook opening 211. The hook head 132 rotates downward to hook onto the rear end surface of the tongue piece 212, thereby locking the plug device 1. Of course, the tongue hook can also be located at the lower end or on the left or right side of the housing.

[0025] Specifically, a retractable cover 4 is provided, which can open and close the panel 21 exposed from the dark box 3. The cover 4 is hingedly connected to the dark box 3, or connected by a snap fit, a plug-and-socket connection, or a magnetic connection. When the cover is in place, it protects against dust and water, extending the life of the socket. The cover 4 can also be mounted on a panel.

[0026] The box cover 4 is hinged to the lower end of the dark box 3 on one side and is snap-fitted to the upper end of the dark box 3 on the other side. The snap-fitting connection includes a clamping block 41 provided on the box cover 4. The box cover can cover the front end of the dark box 3, and the panel 21 is embedded in the dark box 3. The hinge connection can be connected via a rotating shaft or via a connecting piece that can be folded or unfolded.

[0027] Of course, the panel 21 can also be against the front end of the dark box 3. The panel 21 can cover the box opening 31 of the dark box 3.

[0028] This product's hidden box 3 is embedded in the wall and is used for wiring. First, install the socket 2 into the hidden box 3, and connect its panel 21 to the hidden box 3 with screws. The wall wires are connected to the wiring terminals A of the socket 2. The wiring terminals A in the plug 1 are connected to the lighting wires, socket wires, etc.

[0029] When in use, the cover 4 is opened to expose the panel 21, and the male and female connectors are connected by the plug 11 at the rear end of the plug 1 and the socket 22 at the front end of the socket 2, which can quickly connect the power and the two can be plugged in and out quickly. At the same time, the rear end of the tongue hook 13 is penetrated by the hook opening 211, and the elastic member drives the front end of the tongue hook 13 upward and the rear end thereof rotates downward, so that the hook head 132 hooks downward on the rear end surface of the tongue piece 212, which can effectively prevent the plug 1 from loosening and detaching forward.

[0030] When the pressure-bearing end 131 of the tongue hook 13 is pressed downward, the hook head 132 is lifted and separated from the tongue piece 212 below. At this time, the rear end of the tongue hook 13 can pass forward through the hook opening 211, and the plug 1 can be pulled forward for quick removal. After that, the box cover 4 can be closed to cover the panel 21 and prevent the socket 22 from being exposed.

[0031] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, all directional indications (such as up, down, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0032] In addition, the terms "first," "second," and so on, used in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the technical features being described. In the description of this utility model, "several" or "a plurality" means at least two, for example, two or three, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "coupled," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; they may refer to direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they may refer to internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
