[0045] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure have been shown in the above drawings, and will be described in more detail hereinafter. These drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the present disclosure in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0047] The present embodiment relates to a socket, specifically a mobile socket, which can be in the shape of a column. Although there are column-shaped sockets in the current scheme, most of these sockets have exposed sockets, which not only pose a safety hazard, but also are messy when a plug is inserted, affecting the aesthetic appearance.

[0048] The socket provided by the embodiment is safe because the socket hole is in a hidden state, and even if the plug is inserted into the socket hole, the plug and the socket hole are in a hidden state, only the power cord is drawn out, which is neat and improves the aesthetic feeling.

[0049] The structural features of the socket will be described in detail below.

[0050] As Figure 1 shown is a structural schematic diagram of the socket, as Figure 1 shown, the socket comprises an upper cover plate 1, a lower cover plate 2 and a side plate 3, wherein the upper cover plate 1 is located at the top of the side plate 3, and the lower cover plate 2 is located at the bottom of the side plate 3, so that as Figure 2 shown, the upper cover plate 1, the lower cover plate 2 and the side plate 3 enclose a cavity 5.

[0051] As Figure 1 shown, the socket is in the shape of a column, so the cavity 5 is a vertical cavity.

[0052] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 shown, the upper cover plate 1, the lower cover plate 2 and the side plate 3 form the shell of the socket, and the socket further comprises a socket module 4 for performing the function of the socket, the socket module 4 having a socket hole for inserting the plug.

[0053] In an example, as Figure 2 shown, the socket module 4 is located in the cavity 5, in order to facilitate opening of the cavity 5 to expose the socket module 4 in the cavity 5 and closing of the cavity 5 to hide the socket module 4 in the cavity 5, accordingly, as Figure 2 shown is a schematic diagram of the cavity 5 of the socket in an open state, as Figure 2 shown, the side plate 3 comprises a movable side plate 31, wherein the inner surface of the movable side plate 31 is provided with the socket module 4.

[0054] The movable side plate 31 is the part of the side plate 3 that is movable relative to the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2, and plays a role in opening and closing the cavity 5.

[0055] In the embodiment, for ease of description, the cavity 5 is in an open state, that is, the movable side plate 31 is in an open state, and the cavity 5 is in a closed state, that is, the movable side plate 31 is in a closed state.

[0056] As Figure 2As shown, because the socket module 4 is arranged on the inner surface of the movable side plate 31, when the movable side plate 31 is in the open state, the socket module 4 arranged on the inner surface of the movable side plate 31 protrudes out of the cavity 5, so that when a user uses it, the user does not need to stretch his hand into the cavity 5, but outside the cavity 5, the plug is inserted into the socket of the socket module, it can be seen that the operation space of the user inserting and pulling out the plug is relatively large, and the operation space is not limited by the size of the space volume of the cavity 5, so there is no need to design the internal space of the cavity 5 to be large enough.

[0057] In an example, the shape of the movable side plate 31 may, for example, be an L-shaped plate as shown in Figure 2 , and may, for example, also be a flat plate as shown in Figure 3 , or even an arc shape.

[0058] In this embodiment, the shape of the movable side plate 31 is not limited, and the movable side plate 31 as shown in Figure 2 is taken as an example, and reference is made to Figure 2 , the movable side plate 31 is an L-shaped plate structure, including a first flat plate 311 and a second flat plate 312. The socket module 4 can be arranged on the inner surface of the first flat plate 311, or on the inner surface of the second flat plate 312, or on the inner surface of both the first flat plate 311 and the second flat plate 312. Figure 2 , the inner surface of the second flat plate 312 is taken as an example.

[0059] In an example, the side plate 3 can further include a fixed side plate 32, wherein the fixed side plate 32 is a part of the side plate 3 that cannot move relative to the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2, and serves to connect the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2.

[0060] In an example, the shape of the fixed side plate 32 may, for example, be a column as shown in Figure 2 , and may, for example, also be a plate as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 .

[0061] In an example, the number of movable side plates 31 is one or more. In the case of one movable side plate 31, the inner surface of the movable side plate 31 is arranged with the socket module 4. In the case of multiple movable side plates 31, the inner surface of each movable side plate 31 can be arranged with the socket module 4, or a part of the inner surface of the movable side plate 31 is arranged with the socket module 4, and the inner surface of another part of the movable side plate 31 is not arranged with the socket module 4.

[0062] In this embodiment, the number of movable side plates 31 is not limited, and two movable side plates 31 as shown in Figure 2 are taken as an example.

[0063] In one example, the number of fixed side panels 32 is one or more; for example, the number of fixed side panels 32 is one, and two movable side panels 31 are located on both sides of the fixed side panel 32. In another example, the number of fixed side panels 32 is two, see reference. Figure 2 As shown, the two fixed side plates 32 are centrally symmetrically distributed. One movable side plate 31 is assembled with one fixed side plate 32, and the other movable side plate 31 is assembled with the other fixed side plate 32. The two movable side plates 31 are also centrally symmetrical.

[0064] In one example, the side plate 3 may not include the fixed side plate 32. In the embodiment where the fixed side plate 32 is not included, the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2 can be connected by the movable side plate 31. Alternatively, the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2 can also be connected by a connecting post, wherein the connecting post connects the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2.

[0065] In this embodiment, there is no limitation on whether the side plate 3 includes a fixed side plate 32, or on the number of fixed side plates 32 in the scheme that includes a fixed side plate 32. Similarly, this embodiment does not limit the number of movable side plates 31; they can be arranged as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the side plate 3 includes two movable side plates 31 and two fixed side plates 32 for example.

[0066] As described above, the movable side plate 31 can move relative to the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2. Therefore, the movable side plate 31 can move in a rotating manner or a pushing and pulling manner.

[0067] In one example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 2 As shown, the movable side panel 31 can be switched between an open state and a closed state by rotation.

[0068] For example, the top of the movable side plate 31 is rotatably connected to the upper cover plate 1, and the bottom of the movable side plate 31 is rotatably connected to the lower cover plate. The pivot shaft connecting the movable side plate 31 to the upper cover plate 1 is coaxial with the pivot shaft connecting the movable side plate 31 to the lower cover plate 2.

[0069] As an example, the top of the movable side plate 31, near the side of the movable side plate 31, has an upper pivot, and the bottom of the movable side plate 31, near the side of the movable side plate 31, has a lower pivot, with the upper and lower pivots coaxial. For example, refer to... Figure 2 As shown, the top and bottom of the first plate 311 of the movable side plate 31 have an upper pivot and a lower pivot, respectively, near the first edge, wherein the first edge is the edge of the first plate 311 away from the second plate 312.

[0070] The upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2 are provided with pivot holes, the upper pivot of the movable side plate 31 is assembled in the pivot hole of the upper cover plate 1, and the lower pivot of the movable side plate 31 is assembled in the pivot hole of the lower cover plate 2.

[0071] For example, the movable side plate 31 is hinged to the fixed side plate 32, as shown in Figure 4 The second flat plate 312 of the movable side plate 31 is hinged to the fixed side plate 32. The hinge can be a hinge connection, a hinge connection, or a flexible medium connection.

[0072] In another example, the movable side plate 31 can be switched between the open state and the closed state by a push-pull manner.

[0073] For example, as shown in Figure 4 The movable side plate 31 is pulled out relative to the fixed side plate 32. As shown in Figure 5 The movable side plate 31 is flat, and the inner surface of the movable side plate 31 is vertically provided with a push-pull plate 33, which is slidingly connected with at least one of the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2, and the socket module 4 can be arranged on the side surface of the push-pull plate 4.

[0074] As an example, one end of the push-pull plate 33 along the push-pull direction is connected perpendicularly to the inner surface of the movable side plate 31, and the top of the push-pull plate 33 is slidingly connected with the inner surface of the upper cover plate 1, and the bottom of the push-pull plate 33 is slidingly connected with the inner surface of the lower cover plate 2. In this way, the movable side plate 31 can be moved relative to the upper cover plate 1, the lower cover plate 2 and the fixed side plate 3 by a push-pull manner.

[0075] For example, as shown in Figure 6 The movable side plate 31 is in an open state (i.e. pulled open state), and as shown in Figure 5 The movable side plate 31 is in a closed state. As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 5 The movable side plate 31 is slidingly connected with at least one of the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2. As shown in the top of the movable side plate 31 is slidingly connected with the side of the upper cover plate 1, and the bottom of the movable side plate 31 is slidingly connected with the side of the lower cover plate 2. In this way, the movable side plate 31 is also moved relative to the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2 by a push-pull manner.

[0076] As an example, as shown in Figure 5 The movable side plate 31 can also be a plate structure in the shape of L, including a first flat plate 311 and a second flat plate 312, the top of the second flat plate 312 is slidingly connected with the side of the upper cover plate 1, and the bottom of the second flat plate 312 is slidingly connected with the side of the lower cover plate 2.

[0077] In the case of Figure 2In the shown scheme, the socket module 4 can be arranged on the inner surface of the first panel 311, on the inner surface of the second panel 312, or on both the inner surface of the first panel 311 and the inner surface of the second panel 312.

[0078] In the shown scheme, the socket module 4 can be arranged on the inner surface of the first panel 311, on the inner surface of the second panel 312, or on both the inner surface of the first panel 311 and the inner surface of the second panel 312. Figure 1 In the shown scheme, the socket module 4 can be arranged on the inner surface of the first panel 311, on the inner surface of the second panel 312, or on both the inner surface of the first panel 311 and the inner surface of the second panel 312.

[0079] In one example, as the socket module 4 is located in the cavity 5, the power cord of the plug plugged into the socket module 4 needs to be connected to the external electrical appliance, therefore, when the movable side plate 31 is in the closed state, the cavity 5 formed has a wire outlet 51, so that the plug plugged into the socket module 4 can be hidden in the cavity 5, and the power cord can be led out of the wire outlet 51 of the cavity 5.

[0080] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 As shown, when the movable side plate 31 is in the closed state, the socket module 4 is hidden in the cavity 5, and the power cord is led out of the wire outlet 51, refer to Figure 1 As shown, when the movable side plate 31 is in the opened state, the socket module 4 is exposed, which is convenient for the user to plug or unplug the plug.

[0081] In the shown scheme, the socket module 4 can be arranged on the inner surface of the first panel 311, on the inner surface of the second panel 312, or on both the inner surface of the first panel 311 and the inner surface of the second panel 312.

[0082] In one example, the shape of the wire outlet 51 can be strip-shaped, rectangular, or round hole-shaped. The number of the wire outlets 51 and the shape of each wire outlet 51 are not limited in the embodiment.

[0083] In one example, refer to Figure 2 As shown, when the movable side plate 31 is in the closed state, there is a gap between the movable side plate 31 and the fixed side plate 32, which can be used as the wire outlet 51. As shown in Figure 1 As shown, when the movable side plate 31 is in the closed state, there is a gap between the movable side plate 31 and the fixed side plate 32, which can be used as the wire outlet 51. As shown in Figure 5 As shown, when the movable side plate 31 is in the closed state, there is a gap between the movable side plate 31 and the fixed side plate 32, which can be used as the wire outlet 51. As shown in

[0084] In one example, the number of the wire outlets 51 can be one, which is formed between one of the movable side plates 31 and the fixed side plate 32, and there is no wire outlet 51 between the other movable side plate 31 and the fixed side plate 32, so that the socket modules 4 on the two movable side plates 31 share one wire outlet 51. Of course, there can be wire outlets 51 between any movable side plate 31 and the fixed side plate 32.

[0085] In another example, when the movable side plate 31 is in the closed state, there is a gap between the movable side plate 31 and the lower cover plate 2, which can serve as the wire outlet 51. Alternatively, when the movable side plate 31 is in the closed state, there is a gap between the movable side plate 31 and the upper cover plate 2, which serves as the wire outlet 51.

[0086] In another example, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 6 When the movable side plate 31 is in the closed state, there is a gap between the two movable side plates 31, which can serve as the wire outlet 51. As shown in Figure 5 and referring to Figure 7 When the two movable side plates 31 are in the closed state, a gap is formed between the two movable side plates 31, which serves as the wire outlet 51.

[0087] The gap formed by the movable side plate 31 when closed with other components (such as the fixed side plate 32 or the upper cover plate 1 or the lower cover plate 2) as the wire outlet 51, compared with the strip-shaped opening on the side plate, not only facilitates the passage of the power cord, but also makes the product more beautiful.

[0088] In one example, in order to improve the safety of the socket, the movable side plate 31 can be buckled with the upper cover plate 1, and / or the movable side plate 31 can be buckled with the lower cover plate 2, and / or the movable side plate 31 can be buckled with the fixed side plate 32.

[0089] In this way, when the movable side plate 31 is in the closed state, the user needs to squeeze the movable side plate 31 slightly, which may open the movable side plate 31, thereby avoiding children from opening the movable side plate 31.

[0090] Alternatively, the outer surface of the upper cover plate 1 has a pop-up switch, and the user needs to press the pop-up switch to open the movable side plate 31.

[0091] In one example, the movable side plate 31 and the upper cover plate 1 can be buckled by a snap structure, and / or the movable side plate 31 and the lower cover plate 2 can be buckled by a snap structure, and / or the movable side plate 31 and the fixed side plate 32 can be buckled by a snap structure. In this way, when the snap structure is unlocked by the user squeezing the movable side plate 31 or by the user's fingerprint, the movable side plate 31 can be popped up.

[0092] In one example, the socket is usually placed on the desktop, in order to make the socket stable on the desktop, the outer surface of the bottom of the lower cover plate 2 can have a suction cup structure, which can be adsorbed on the desktop when the socket is placed on the desktop, making the socket stable on the desktop and not easy to fall over.

[0093] In another example, the suction disc structure on the bottom outer surface of the lower cover plate 2 can also be replaced by a frosted structure with a larger roughness.

[0094] In an example, as shown in Figure 7 the outer surface of the upper cover plate 2 has a control switch 6 for controlling the on-off of the socket module 4.

[0095] For example, the number of socket modules 4 is two, then, as shown in Figure 8 the outer surface of the upper cover plate 2 has a master control switch 60, a first sub-control switch 61 and a second sub-control switch 62, wherein the master control switch 60 is used to control the on-off of all socket modules 4, and the first sub-control switch 61 is used to control the on-off of one of the socket modules 4 when the master control switch 60 is in the on state, and the second sub-control switch 62 is used to control the on-off of the other socket module 4 when the master control switch 60 is in the on state.

[0096] As an example, when the master control switch 60 is in the on state, if the first sub-control switch 61 is in the on state, the socket module 4 controlled by the first sub-control switch 61 is in the power-on state, and if the first sub-control switch 61 is in the off state, the socket module 4 controlled by the first sub-control switch 61 is in the power-off state. If the second sub-control switch 62 is in the on state, the socket module 4 controlled by the second sub-control switch 62 is in the power-on state, and if the second sub-control switch 62 is in the off state, the socket module 4 controlled by the second sub-control switch 62 is in the power-off state. When the master control switch 60 is in the off state, regardless of the state of the first sub-control switch 61 and the second sub-control switch 62, all socket modules 4 are in the power-off state.

[0097] In an example, as shown in Figure 2 the outer surface of the fixed side plate 32 is arranged with a weak current interface 7, wherein the weak current interface 7 can be a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, such as a Type-A interface and a Type-C interface, etc.

[0098] In an example, the weak current interface 7 can also be arranged on the outer surface of the movable side plate 31, or the weak current interface 7 can also be arranged on the outer surface of the upper cover plate 1.

[0099] In an example, the weak current interface 7 can only be controlled by the master control switch 60, for example, when the master control switch 60 is in the on state, the weak current interface 7 is in the power-on state, and when the master control switch is in the off state, the weak current interface 7 is in the power-off state.

[0100] In another example, since the voltage of the low-voltage interface 7 is relatively low and within a safe range, the low-voltage interface 7 can also be independent of the control switch 60. For example, as long as the socket is plugged in, the low-voltage interface 7 will be powered on regardless of whether the control switch 60 is on.

[0101] In this embodiment, the socket is structurally column-shaped. Compared with a box-shaped socket, it only occupies vertical space, which is beneficial for placement in narrow spaces. The side panel of the socket includes a movable side panel and a fixed side panel. The socket module is arranged on the inner surface of the movable side panel. Opening the movable side panel exposes the socket module, allowing the user to plug and unplug the plug. Closing the movable side panel hides the socket module, making it less likely for children to touch, thus improving the safety of the socket. Moreover, hiding the socket module makes the desktop where the socket is located neater and enhances the aesthetics.

[0102] Moreover, reference ​ As shown, when the movable side panel 31 is in the open state, the socket module 4 arranged on its inner surface extends out of the chamber 5. Therefore, when using it, the user does not need to insert it into the chamber 5, but can insert the plug into the socket module's socket hole in the chamber 5. The operating space is relatively large, and the operating space is not limited by the volume of the chamber 5.

[0103] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this disclosure and is not intended to limit this disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the principles of this disclosure should be included within the protection scope of this disclosure.
