A connecting portion 201 that matches the mounting groove 102 is formed on the side of the protective cover 200, so that the protective cover 200 is matched with the mounting groove 102 through the connecting portion 201 and is rotatably connected to the mounting groove 102 through a rotating member 400. An elastic member 50 for driving the protective cover 200 to open and close relative to the base 100 is sleeved on the middle part of the rotating member 400. 0, a positioning portion 202 is provided on the side of the protective cover 200, and a snap plate 103 matched with the positioning portion 202 is provided on the side of the base 100. The middle part of the snap plate 103 is connected to the base 100 through the support portion 104. One end of the snap plate 103 extends toward the protective cover 200 to form a snap portion 1031, and the other end of the snap plate 103 is formed with a pressing portion 1032. When the protective cover 200 is matched and buckled with the base 100, the snap portion 1031 is snap-connected with the positioning portion 202. In the unlocked state, pressing the pressing portion 1032 of the snap plate 103 causes the snap portion 1031 of the snap plate 103 to tilt, and the snap portion 1031 loosens the positioning portion 202, and the elastic member 500 drives the protective cover 200 to open.

[0031] Reference Figure 6 The connecting portion 201 is inserted into the mounting groove 102, and the two ends of the rotating member 400 extend to both sides of the connecting portion 201 respectively, so that the end of the rotating member 400 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 102, and mounting holes are provided on both sides of the mounting portion 101 for coaxial connection with the rotating member 400, and the rotating member 400 is made of a rotating shaft.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting part 201 is passed through the rotating shaft, and the connecting part 201 is inserted into the mounting groove 102 of the mounting part 101, and the rotating shaft is coaxially connected to the mounting hole of the mounting part 101, so that the protective cover 200 can be opened and closed relative to the base 100 through the rotating shaft. The rotation setting of the rotating shaft facilitates the snap-fit ​​installation of the protective cover 200 and the base 100, thereby improving the convenience of installation of the protective cover 200 and the base 100.

[0033] Specifically, the protective cover 200 is connected to the base 100 by a rotating shaft, so that the protective cover 200 is not likely to separate and fall off even if it is hit or squeezed by external force, or even lost after falling, thereby making it more convenient to use.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7The connecting portion 201 is provided with an escape groove 203. An elastic member 500 is sleeved on the rotating shaft and installed in the escape groove 203. The elastic member 500 is made of a spring or a spring. Specifically, in this embodiment, the sleeve of the elastic member 500 provides the driving force for opening the protective cover 200. When the elastic member 500 is unlocked, the elastic action of the elastic member 500 causes the protective cover 200 to open quickly, thereby allowing corresponding operations inside the base 100 and improving user convenience.

[0035] The end of the latch portion 1031 extends toward the protective cover 200 to form a hook, and a slanted latching surface is provided on the latch portion 1031, forming an inverted "L" shape. The positioning portion 202 is provided on the side of the protective cover 200 near the latch portion 1031, and is located opposite the connecting portion 201. The bottom of the positioning portion 202 has an inclined chamfer.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inclined snap-fitting surface facilitates the snap-fitting of the protective cover 200, thereby making the snap-fitting connection between the protective cover 200 and the base 100 more convenient and efficient, reducing the number of steps required for the installation of the protective cover 200 and the base 100, and improving the efficiency of use. The inclined chamfer allows the protective cover 200 to be easily snapped into the snap-fitting portion 1031 by pressing, thereby improving the convenience of installation.

[0037] The support portion 104 is integrally formed with the snap plate 103 and the base 100 , and the connecting cross section of the support portion 104 and the snap plate 103 is T-shaped.

[0038] In this embodiment, the connection setting between the support part 104 and the snap plate 103 can make it present a "seesaw" setting, so that when unlocking is required, the pressing part 1032 on the snap plate 103 is pressed to cause the snap part 1031 to tilt, and the snap part 1031 loosens the positioning part 202, so that it drives the protective cover 200 to open under the elastic force of the elastic part 500.

[0039] In this embodiment, the existing base 100 needs to be increased in height due to the electrical creepage distance requirements of the connector 300, resulting in a narrow installation space, such as in a box, making it difficult to install and thus affecting its usability. The base 100 is formed with a raised protective end 105. A groove 106 for mating with the connector 300 is formed within the protective end 105.

[0040] Specifically, the groove 106 in this embodiment is set at the bottom of the outward base 100, and the groove 106 is barrel-shaped. While shortening the internal length of the base 100, the creepage distance is increased by setting the protective end 105 and the groove 106 in the protective end 105, meeting the electrical requirements, making it easier to install and use in a narrow space, while reducing the risk of leakage caused by the short creepage distance, thereby improving the safety and reliability of use.

[0041] The specific usage structure in this utility model is:

[0042] The spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft so that the rotating shaft is installed on the connecting portion 201, and the two ends of the rotating shaft pass through the two sides of the connecting portion 201 and are exposed to the outside. The spring is embedded in the avoidance groove 203, and is matched with the mounting groove 102 on the mounting portion 101 through the connecting portion 201. The two ends of the rotating shaft are coaxially connected with the mounting holes on both sides of the mounting portion 101, so that the protective cover 200 can be rotated relative to the base 100, which simplifies the subsequent manual matching and installation process of the protective cover 200 and the base 100, improves the installation efficiency, and the protective cover 200 can effectively protect the connector 300 inside the base 100 and prevent interference from external factors such as dust and moisture.

[0043] When the protective cover 200 is locked with the buckle, when the protective cover 200 is buckled onto the top of the base 100, the positioning portion 202 presses against the buckle inclined surface of the buckle portion 1031 through the chamfered bottom, so that the positioning portion 202 can be easily buckled into the bottom of the buckle portion 1031, and the buckling installation of the protective cover 200 and the base 100 is completed. The arrangement of the buckle portion 1031 and the positioning portion 202 ensures the stability of the protective cover 200 in the buckled state, preventing the protective cover 200 from opening accidentally, and the connection of the rotating member 400 prevents the protective cover 200 from loosening or falling and being lost under the action of external force;

[0044] When the protective cover 200 is unlocked, the pressing portion 1032 of the snap plate 103 is pressed to tilt the snap portion 1031, so that the snap portion 1031 is loosened from the top of the positioning portion 202. The spring's restoring elasticity can drive the protective cover 200 to open automatically, and the protective cover 200 can be rotated relative to the base 100 through the rotating shaft, so that the protective cover 200 can be opened conveniently, thereby improving operational efficiency. The creepage distance of the connector 300 is increased by the setting of the protective end 105 and the groove 106, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the connector.
