After the upper groove 511 and the lower groove 521 are docked, a wire groove 6 is formed to achieve sealing at the plug wire, thereby further improving the sealing between the waterproof box base 1 and the upper cover 4 of the waterproof box.

[0042] Both the upper and lower sealing rubber blocks 52 and 51 are made of a soft material, preferably rubber or silicone, that provides excellent sealing performance. At least one first insertion strip 512 is protruding upward from the upper portion of the lower sealing rubber block 51, while a first slot 522 is recessed in the lower portion of the upper sealing rubber block 52 for receiving the first insertion strip 512. The first insertion strip 512 is made of a soft material. In this embodiment, the first insertion strip 512 and the lower sealing rubber block 51 are made of the same material. The cooperation between the first insertion strip 512 and the first slot 522 ensures a tight seal between the upper and lower sealing rubber blocks 52 and 51, further preventing moisture from entering the waterproof box base 1 and affecting the safety of the socket body 2.

[0043] At least one second insertion strip 523 protrudes downward from the lower portion of the upper sealing block 52, and a second slot 513 is recessed in the lower sealing block 51 for receiving the second insertion strip 523. The second insertion strip 523 is made of a soft material, the same material as the upper sealing block 52. The cooperation between the second insertion strip 523 and the second slot 513 further enhances the seal between the upper and lower sealing blocks 52, 51, and further prevents moisture from entering the waterproof box base 1 and affecting the safety of the socket body 2. The first and second insertion strips 512, 523 are made of a soft material.

Furthermore, they provide a certain degree of sealing, preventing moisture from entering the waterproof box base 1 through the upper and lower sealing blocks 52, 51. In order to further improve the sealing performance of the connection between the upper sealing block 52 and the lower sealing block 51 and reduce the volume of the sealing block, the first inserting strips 512 and the second slots 513 of the lower sealing block 51 are staggered along the axial direction of the wire groove 6 .

[0044] In order to further enhance the sealing performance of other connections between the upper cover of the waterproof box and the main cavity 11, a lower sealing rubber ring 54 is integrally formed on the lower sealing rubber block 51, one end of the lower sealing rubber ring 54 is integrally connected to one side of the lower sealing rubber block 51, and the other end of the lower sealing rubber ring 54 is integrally connected to the other side of the lower sealing rubber block 51. The lower sealing rubber ring 54 is sleeved on the outside of the upper opening 12 of the main cavity 11, and the upper cover 4 of the waterproof box is provided with a sealing groove 42 for cooperating with the lower sealing rubber ring 54.

[0045] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, the side of the waterproof box cover 4 opposite to the hinged side is fixedly connected to the waterproof box base 1 through a buckle portion, and the buckle portion includes a buckle 71 hingedly arranged at the lower part of the side of the waterproof box cover 4 opposite to the hinged side, and a slot 72 fixedly arranged on the outer side of the corresponding side of the waterproof box base 1. The buckle 71 is clamped on the slot 72 to achieve locking of the waterproof box cover 4 and the waterproof box base 1, so as to achieve a sealed connection between the waterproof box cover 4 and the main cavity 11.

[0046] In addition, reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , with respect to a structure in which a socket body 2 is placed on a waterproof box base 1: a wire outlet is provided on the waterproof box base 1, which is connected to the main cavity 11. The power cord of the waterproof socket structure is passed through the wire outlet and connected to the components inside the socket body. Since the power cord is a soft cord and a margin can be left as needed during installation, the power cord will not be damaged when the socket body 2 is turned over or rotated. In addition, the connection between the power cord and the inside of the socket body 2 adopts the existing technology, which is not the innovation of the present invention. Its connection is not limited to Figure 5The wiring structure, Figure 5 The connection between the power cord and the socket body is for reference only.

[0047] refer to Figure 9 For a structure in which multiple socket bodies 2 are placed on a waterproof box base 1, a wire outlet is provided on one side of the waterproof box base 1. The power cord of the waterproof socket structure is inserted into the outlet and then connected to the components inside the multiple socket bodies 2. Because the power cord is a flexible wire and a margin can be left as needed during installation, the power cord will not be damaged when the socket body 2 is turned or rotated.
