When the docking station needs to be used, the inserting rod 24 is slid relative to the flip cover 2 and is out of the groove, at this time, the inserting rod 24 drives the rotating rod 25 to slide to the position corresponding to the clamping teeth 13, and the wedge on the rotating rod 25 is clamped with the clamping teeth 13. Since the clamping teeth 13 can be deformed, when the flip cover 2 is rotated, the inserting rod 24 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the rotating rod 25 and the wedge to rotate synchronously, and the wedge is pressed against the clamping teeth 13 in the rotating process, so that the clamping teeth 13 are deformed to be staggered with the wedge. The rotating rod 25 is intermittently clamped with the limiting ring 11, which plays a role of rotation damping, so that the flip cover 2 can hover at different flip angles.
[0027] In the above technology, the flip cover 2 is tightly attached to the body 1 to close the socket 3 and prevent dust from entering, when the docking station needs to be used, the flip cover 2 is opened, and the intermittent clamping of the limiting ring 11 and the rotating rod 25 plays a role of rotation damping, so that the flip cover 2 can hover at different flip angles to shield the docking part.
[0028] As a further embodiment of the utility model, a rotating shaft 21 is further arranged on the body 1 and slidably connected with the flip cover 2, and the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly arranged with an inserting groove at both ends for sliding the inserting rod 24.
[0029] Specifically, the rotating shaft 21 is used for sliding the flip cover 2. When the docking station needs to be used, the flip cover 2 is pulled away from the rotating shaft 21, the inserting rod 24 is separated from the limiting piece 11 by the flip cover 2, and then the flip cover 2 can be rotated. When the flip cover 2 is closed, the flip cover 2 is tightly attached to the body 1, and the inserting rod 24 is slid into the inserting groove to fix the flip cover 2.
[0030] As a further embodiment of the utility model, the end of the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly arranged with a baffle 22 and a guide plate 23, the inserting groove is arranged on the same side of the baffle 22 and the guide plate 23, and the baffle 22 and the guide plate 23 form an inclined groove for swinging the rotating rod 25.

The baffle 22 and the guide plate 23 are arranged as Figure 2As shown, the rotating rod 25 is located in the chute, and during the sliding of the cover 2 towards the rotating shaft 21, the cover 2 drives the insertion rod 24 to slide along the insertion slot arranged on the same side of the baffle 22 and the guide plate 23, and drives the rotating rod 25 to slide along the side of the baffle 22, so that the rotating rod 25 is deflected and retracted into the chute. When the cover 2 slides away from the rotating shaft 21, the insertion rod 24 drives the rotating rod 25 to contact the side of the guide plate 23, and the rotating rod 25 is deflected under the guide sliding of the guide plate 23, so that the wedge arranged on the rotating rod 25 extends out of the chute, and at this time the wedge corresponds to the clamping tooth 13 on the limiting ring 12.
[0032] As further provided in another embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of heat dissipation holes 27 are arranged on the body 1, and a ventilation opening 26 is arranged on the cover 2 and points to the heat dissipation hole 27.
[0033] Specifically, the ventilation opening 26 is arranged obliquely, and the ventilation opening 26 is divided into oppositely arranged upper and lower inclined plates, and the vertical projection of the upper inclined plate on the cover 2 completely covers the lower inclined plate, so that the upper inclined plate of the ventilation opening 26 covers the lower inclined plate in the state of horizontally placing the cover 2, preventing dust from entering. When the cover 2 is inclined and suspended, the airflow from the outside will pass through the ventilation opening 26 and be guided and pointed to the heat dissipation hole 27, and exchanges heat with the heat dissipation hole 27.
