[0024] The following description provides specific application scenarios and requirements of the present specification, so as to enable those skilled in the art to manufacture and use the contents of the present specification. Various local modifications of the disclosed embodiments are obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present specification. Therefore, the present specification is not limited to the shown embodiments, but is consistent with the widest range of claims.

[0025] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "radial", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. These terms are mainly used to better describe the present application and its embodiments, and are not used to limit the indicated devices, elements or components to have a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0026] Secondly, the terms "first", "second" and similar words do not represent any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components, and should not be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0027] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral constructions; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two devices, components, or parts.

[0028] Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] Regarding the accompanying drawings of this application, it should be clearly understood that the drawings are for illustrative and descriptive purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this specification. It should also be understood that the drawings are not drawn to scale.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, this specification provides a concealed cover socket that is easy to install upside down, including a housing 1, a functional component 2, and a cover plate 3. The housing 1 is provided with a first cavity 4 and a second cavity 5. The top of the housing 1 is provided with an opening 6 that communicates with the first cavity 4 and the second cavity 5. The functional component 2 is disposed in the first cavity 4. The functional component 2 can be a socket, USB interface, etc. The cover plate 3 is slidably disposed in the second cavity 5. The second cavity 5 is provided with a sliding groove 7 along the height direction of the housing. The cover plate 3 is provided with a shaft part 70 that slides and engages with the sliding groove part 7. Specifically, the housing 1 includes an upper shell and a base. The sliding groove part 7 is thus divided into upper and lower sections to facilitate the insertion of the shaft part 70 into the sliding groove part 7. The sliding groove part 7 can limit the range of motion of the cover plate 3 and ensure that the cover plate 3 moves smoothly during opening and closing.

[0031] Secondly, a bracket 8 is provided inside the opening 6, and the cover plate 3 has a closed position that covers the bracket 8 and shields the functional component 2, and an open position that exposes the functional component 2 and is embedded in the storage cavity. This arrangement effectively protects the functional component 2 of the outer shell 1 when the cover plate 3 is closed, preventing dust, water droplets, or other impurities from entering the interior of the outer shell 1, extending the lifespan of the socket and improving safety. Simultaneously, when using the socket, the cover plate 3 can slide into the second cavity 5 without occupying additional space.

[0032] Importantly, it also includes a closing magnetic suction part 9 and an opening magnetic suction part 10. The cover plate 3 is provided with a positioning magnetic suction part 30. When the cover plate 3 is in the closed position, the closing magnetic suction part 9 and the positioning magnetic suction part 30 are magnetically connected to keep the cover plate 3 stable. When the cover plate 3 is in the open position, the opening magnetic suction part 10 and the positioning magnetic suction part 30 are magnetically connected to keep the cover plate 3 stable.

[0033] In this way, no matter whether the cover plate 3 is in the closed position or the open position, the cover plate 3 can be kept stable by the magnetic positioning structure, and is not easy to move due to external vibration or slight collision, and is especially suitable for inverted use of the socket.

[0034] It can be understood that the magnetic attraction part in the specification is explained as a magnetic attraction material capable of generating a magnetic field by itself, such as a neodymium iron boron magnet, a samarium cobalt magnet, etc., or a magnetically attracted material that can be attracted under the action of an external magnetic field, such as iron, nickel, etc. Among them, if the positioning magnetic attraction part 30 adopts a magnetic attraction material, the closing magnetic attraction part 9 and the opening magnetic attraction part 10 can be magnetic attraction materials or magnetically attracted materials, and if the positioning magnetic attraction part 30 adopts a magnetically attracted material, the closing magnetic attraction part 9 and the opening magnetic attraction part 10 adopt magnetic attraction materials.

[0035] It can be understood that there are many structures for the closing magnetic attraction part 9, the opening magnetic attraction part 10, and the positioning magnetic attraction part 30:

[0036] Structure one: as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the positioning magnetic attraction part 30 is arranged on the back of the cover plate 3, and the closing magnetic attraction part 9 and the opening magnetic attraction part 10 are arranged on the bracket 8. The bracket 8 body can be made of plastic injection molding, thereby reducing the overall weight of the socket.

[0037] Specifically, the bracket 8 is provided with a first mounting groove 80 on the side wall close to the second cavity 5, and the opening magnetic attraction part 10 is arranged in the first mounting groove 80. There is enough space here for installing the opening magnetic attraction part 10. The bracket 8 is provided with a second mounting groove 81 on the lower end face close to the middle part, and the closing magnetic attraction part 9 is arranged in the second mounting groove 81. In this way, the closing magnetic attraction part 9 is arranged on the back of the bracket 8, which can keep the appearance of the socket use surface clean and beautiful.

[0038] Among them, the thickness of the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 81 is not more than 1mm, and in this way, the effective transmission of the magnetic attraction strength can be ensured, and stronger adsorption force can be ensured when the cover plate 3 is closed.

[0039] Further, the back of the cover plate 3 is symmetrically provided with two third mounting grooves 31, and the positioning magnetic attraction part 30 is a magnetic piece arranged in the two third mounting grooves 31 respectively. The magnetic piece is made of a magnetic attraction material. The first mounting groove 80 is two and symmetrically arranged. The closing magnetic attraction part 9 is a magnetic piece arranged in the two first mounting grooves 80 respectively. The second mounting groove 81 is two and symmetrically arranged. The opening magnetic attraction part 10 is a magnetic piece arranged in the two second mounting grooves 81 respectively. In this way, in the closed position and the open position, a double-point symmetric magnetic attraction connection structure can be formed, and the stability of the cover plate 3 is improved.

[0040] Structure 2: The positioning magnetic suction part 30 is disposed on the side wall of the cover plate 3, and the closing magnetic suction part 9 and the opening magnetic suction part 10 are both disposed on the inner wall of the outer shell 1. Specifically, the positioning magnetic suction part 30 is disposed at the front end of the side wall of the cover plate 3 in the opening and closing direction, that is, at the end away from the shaft part 70, the opening magnetic suction part 10 is disposed at the corresponding position inside the opening 6, and the closing magnetic suction part 9 is disposed at the corresponding position at the top of the second cavity 5.

[0041] In some embodiments, the cover plate 3 is provided with a damping magnetic suction part 11. When the cover plate 3 falls into the second cavity 5, the damping magnetic suction part 11 and the opening magnetic suction part 10 form a damping effect, thereby preventing the cover plate 3 from falling into the second cavity 5 quickly and causing an impact, thus extending the overall service life of the socket.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, in structure one, the positioning magnetic suction part 30 and the damping magnetic suction part 11 can be a whole and made of magnetic suction material, or the positioning magnetic suction part 30 can be made of magnetic suction material and the damping magnetic suction part 11 can be made of magnetically attracted material. The magnetic resistance formed by the damping magnetic suction part 11 and the opening magnetic suction part 10 is not greater than the weight of the cover plate 3, thus ensuring that the cover plate 3 can automatically fall into the second cavity 5.

[0043] It is understandable that in structure two, such as Figure 7 The settings are shown.

[0044] Preferably, the damping magnetic suction part 11 gradually shrinks in the direction of the shaft part 70, so that when the cover plate 3 falls into the second cavity 5, the magnetic suction resistance formed by the damping magnetic suction part 11 and the opening magnetic suction part 10 gradually increases, and finally the positioning magnetic suction part 30 and the opening magnetic suction part 10 are magnetically connected, ensuring that the cover plate 3 will not detach from the second cavity 5 when not operated manually.

[0045] In some embodiments, the positioning magnetic suction part 30 consists of a first magnetic suction part and a second magnetic suction part disposed on the cover plate 3. When the cover plate 3 is in the closed position, the first magnetic suction part is magnetically connected to the closing magnetic suction part 9 to keep the cover plate 3 stable. When the cover plate 3 is in the open position, the second magnetic suction part is magnetically connected to the opening magnetic suction part 10 to keep the cover plate 3 stable. In this way, an additional magnetic suction part is disposed on the cover plate 3, and both the closing magnetic suction part 9 and the opening magnetic suction part 10 cooperate with the corresponding magnetic suction part. Although this increases the cost, the cover plate 3 has better stability in the open and closed positions.

[0046] In view of the foregoing, it will be seen that the foregoing detailed description of the application is only illustrative in nature and not limiting. Although specific reference can be made to the examples contained herein, this has been done for illustrative purposes only, and is not intended to limit the application of the application in any way.

It is the intention, therefore, to include all such modifications, alterations, and improvements within the scope of the present application. Accordingly, the application is not to be restricted, except in the spirit or scope of the appended claims.

[0047] Furthermore, it is to be understood that the application can be carried out by specifically tailored equipment, which is not described in detail in the foregoing description of the embodiments of the application. In the foregoing description of the embodiments of the application, for the purpose of brevity of description, various features of the application are grouped together in one embodiment, drawing or description of the application. This is done for the purpose of simplifying the present application. However, this is not to be interpreted that the grouping of the features is required. A person skilled in the art would understand that the features can be grouped in other ways as well. That is, the embodiments of the application can also be understood as a combination of sub-embodiments. Each sub-embodiment is valid when it comprises less than all the features of the single embodiment described above.

[0048] Finally, it should be understood that the embodiments of the application disclosed herein are illustrative of the principles of the present application.
