Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical equipment technology, specifically a hidden flip-top socket box. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of office environments, various electronic devices are increasingly being installed on desks. However, older desks often lack the necessary connection cables, network cables, and USB ports, leading to inconvenience. While some desks on the market have through holes for plugs or socket boxes for electronic devices, these boxes lack dust protection when not in use, allowing dust to enter and potentially causing short circuits. Furthermore, existing flip-top covers use a gear-driven mechanism that is inflexible and prone to jamming, hindering cable management and causing clutter inside the box. This can even lead to wiring jamming the gears and preventing proper operation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a concealed flip-top socket box to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hidden flip-top socket box, which solves the problems mentioned above, such as the poor dustproof effect caused by the lack of a flip-top in existing socket boxes, and the fact that the flip-top of existing socket boxes is a gear-mechanical flip-top, which is not flexible and prone to jamming. At the same time, the socket wires cannot be arranged, resulting in a mess inside the socket box, which causes the wires to jam the gears and prevent them from operating.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a concealed flip-top socket box, including an outer box, an inner box, and a flip cover. The inner box is disposed inside the outer box, and the top of the inner box has several socket mounting slots and plug mounting slots. The flip cover includes a flip plate and two rotating seats. The two rotating seats are respectively connected to both ends of the flip plate. The two rotating seats are respectively connected to the two side walls of the inner box through a rotating shaft. The vertical cross-section of each rotating seat is L-shaped, and each rotating seat has a limiting connecting plate at its end. One side of the limiting connecting plate has a buffer surface that mates with the outer wall of the inner box, and the other side has a limiting surface that mates with the inner top of the outer box. The rotating seats rotate along the rotating shaft and drive the flip plate to flip, so that the flip plate contacts or moves away from the top of the inner box.
[0005] Furthermore, the outer box includes a bottom plate, a top plate, and four side plates. The four side plates are arranged around the bottom plate and the top plate. The top plate is fixed to each of the side plates by angle brackets and bolts. A cover groove is provided on the top plate.
[0006] Furthermore, a first clearance groove is provided at the top corner of one end of the inner box, the vertical cross-section of the first clearance groove is L-shaped, and a limiting boss is provided at the top of the other end of the inner box, the limiting boss being located below the cover groove.
[0007] Furthermore, limiting grooves are respectively opened on both sides of the bottom of the top plate, and each limiting groove is located above the rotating seat and is used to cooperate with the limiting surface for limiting.
[0008] Furthermore, the distance from the center of the rotating shaft to the side wall of the inner box is less than the distance from the center of the rotating shaft to the short side end of the L-shape of the rotating seat, and the distance from the center of the rotating shaft to the short side end of the L-shape of the rotating seat is equal to the distance from the rotating shaft to the top surface of the limiting groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the rotating seat and the limiting connecting plate are integrally formed.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The socket box of this utility model can be set up so that two rotating seats and the flip plate connected to them can rotate around the rotating shaft at the same time to realize the closing and separation between the flip plate and the cover groove on the top plate of the outer box. This allows the limiting surface of the limiting connecting plate at the end of the rotating seat to avoid and limit the limiting grooves on both sides of the bottom of the top plate, so that the bottom of the flip plate can effectively fit with the limiting boss on the top of the inner box, thereby improving the closure of the flip plate and the cover groove.
[0011] The setting of the limiting connecting plate and the integral molding structure of the limiting connecting plate and the rotating seat can effectively buffer and limit the rotation of the rotating seat after it rotates along the rotating shaft. When the flip plate is flipped vertically, its upper part fits against the inner wall of the cover groove. Through double limiting, the opened flip plate can be stably located between the inner box and the outer box, so as to better limit the flip plate and solve the problem of inflexible flipping and jamming when the gear mechanical flipping is used.
[0012] The inner box can be used to set up the socket wires. The inner cavity of the inner box can effectively arrange the wires, which solves the problem of messy wires in the socket box causing obstruction when flipping the cover.
[0013] The top cover groove allows the flip plate of the flip cover to overlap with the groove after flipping, preventing dust from entering the socket box and causing a short circuit in the socket. It also solves the problem of dust entering the socket and being unable to be removed.
[0014] The setting of the first clearance groove at the top corner of one end of the inner box can prevent the flip plate from being disturbed when flipping, and there is no need to set an offset structure to offset it. This reduces costs while ensuring the normal flipping of the flip plate, thereby improving the flipping speed of the flip plate.
[0015] The top limiting boss at the other end of the inner box can limit the flip plate in the cover groove, preventing the front end of the flip plate from shifting downwards and improving the overlap between the flip plate and the cover groove.
[0016] The setting of limiting grooves on both sides of the bottom of the top plate allows the limiting surface of the limiting connecting plate at the end of the flip plate to cooperate with the limiting groove for limiting, so that the rotating seat will not be disturbed when it flips, thus achieving limiting while reducing interference.
[0017] The setting that the distance from the center of the rotating shaft to the side wall of the inner box is less than the distance from the center of the rotating shaft to the short side of the L-shaped part of the rotating seat, and the distance from the center of the rotating shaft to the short side of the L-shaped part of the rotating seat is equal to the distance from the rotating shaft to the top surface of the limiting groove, allows the flip plate to flip precisely into the cover groove, and also allows the flip plate to retract between the outer box and the inner box, thereby improving the smoothness of the flip plate flipping.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a hidden flip-top socket box is disclosed, including an outer box 1, an inner box 2 and a flip cover 3. The inner box 2 is set inside the outer box 1 and is used to install the socket wire. The inner cavity of the inner box 2 can effectively arrange the wires, which solves the problem that the flip cover 3 is obstructed when flipping because the wires inside the socket box are messy and cannot be organized.
[0026] The top of the inner box 2 has several socket mounting slots 22 and plug mounting slots 23. The flip cover 3 includes a flip plate 31 and two rotating seats 32. The two rotating seats 32 are respectively connected to the two ends of the flip plate 31. The two rotating seats 32 are respectively connected to the two side walls of the inner box 2 through the rotating shaft 33. The vertical cross section of each rotating seat 32 is L-shaped. Each end of the rotating seat 32 is provided with a limiting connecting plate 321. The rotating seat 32 and the limiting connecting plate 321 are integrally formed. One side of the limiting connecting plate 321 is provided with a buffer surface 3211 that cooperates with the outer wall of the inner box 2, and the other side is provided with a limiting surface 3212 that cooperates with the inner top of the outer box 1. The rotating seat 32 rotates along the rotating shaft 33 and drives the flip plate 31 to flip, so that the flip plate 31 contacts or moves away from the top of the inner box 2.
[0027] The outer box 1 includes a bottom plate 11, a top plate 12 and four side plates 13. The four side plates 13 are arranged around the bottom plate 11 and the top plate 12. The top plate 12 is fixed to each side plate 13 by corner brackets and bolts. A cover groove 121 is provided on the top plate 12.
[0028] The top plate 12 is designed with a cover groove 121 so that the flip plate 31 of the flip cover 3 can overlap with the cover groove 121 after flipping, so as to prevent dust from entering the socket box and avoid short circuit of the socket. It can also solve the problem of dust entering the socket and not being able to be removed.
[0029] The inner box 2 has a first clearance groove 21 at the top corner of one end. The vertical cross section of the first clearance groove 21 is L-shaped. The other end of the inner box 2 has a limiting boss 1211 at the top. The limiting boss 1211 is located below the cover groove 121.
[0030] The setting of the first clearance groove 21 at one end of the inner box 2 can prevent the flip plate 31 from being disturbed when flipping, and there is no need to set an offset structure to offset it. This can reduce costs while ensuring the normal flipping of the flip plate 31, thereby improving the flipping speed of the flip plate 31.
[0031] The top limiting protrusion 1211 at the other end of the inner box 2 can limit the flip plate 31 within the cover groove 121, preventing the front end of the flip plate 31 from shifting downward and improving the overlap between the flip plate 31 and the cover groove 121.
[0032] Limiting grooves 122 are respectively opened on both sides of the bottom of the top plate 12. Each limiting groove 122 is located above the rotating seat 32 and is used to cooperate with the limiting surface 3212 for limiting.
[0033] The setting of the limiting grooves 122 on both sides of the bottom of the top plate 12 allows the limiting surface 3212 of the limiting connecting plate 321 at the end of the flip plate 31 to cooperate with the limiting groove 122 for limiting, so that the rotating seat will not be disturbed when it flips, thereby achieving limiting while reducing interference.
[0034] The setting of the limiting connecting plate 321 and the integral molding structure of the limiting connecting plate 321 and the rotating seat 32 can effectively buffer and limit the rotation seat 32 after it rotates along the rotating shaft 33, and when the flip plate 31 is flipped vertically, its upper part is in contact with the inner wall of the cover groove 121. Through double limiting, the opened flip plate 31 can be stably positioned between the inner box 2 and the outer box 1, so as to better limit the flip plate 31 and solve the problem of inflexible flipping and jamming when the gear mechanical flipping is used.
[0035] The distance from the center of the rotating shaft 33 to the side wall of the inner box 2 is less than the distance from the center of the rotating shaft 33 to the short side of the L-shaped rotating seat 32. The distance from the center of the rotating shaft 33 to the short side of the L-shaped rotating seat 32 is equal to the distance from the rotating shaft 33 to the top surface of the limiting groove 122.
[0036] The distance from the center of the rotating shaft 33 to the side wall of the inner box 2 is less than the distance from the center of the rotating shaft 33 to the short side of the L-shaped rotating seat 32. The distance from the center of the rotating shaft 33 to the short side of the L-shaped rotating seat 32 is equal to the distance from the rotating shaft 33 to the top surface of the limiting groove 122. This setting allows the flip plate 31 to flip precisely into the cover groove 121 and also allows the flip plate 31 to retract between the outer box 1 and the inner box 2, thereby improving the smoothness of the flip plate 31's flipping.
[0037] The socket box of this utility model can be configured such that two rotating seats 32 and the flip plate 31 connected thereto can rotate around the rotating shaft 33 simultaneously, so as to realize the closing and separation between the flip plate 31 and the cover groove 121 on the top plate 12 of the outer box 1. This allows the limiting surface 3212 of the limiting connecting plate 321 at the end of the rotating seat 32 to avoid and limit the limiting grooves 122 on both sides of the bottom of the top plate 12, so that the bottom of the flip plate 31 can effectively fit with the limiting boss 1211 on the top of the inner box 2, thereby improving the closure of the flip plate 31 and the cover groove 121.
[0038] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0039] When it is necessary to open the flip cover 3, push the flip plate 31. The flip plate 31 flips under the pushing force, and at the same time, the rotating seats 32 fixed at both ends of the flip plate 31 also flip under the rotation force of the rotating shaft 33. After the flip plate 31 flips down from above the first clearance groove 21, it is vertically inserted between the inner box 2 and the outer box 1, thereby effectively realizing the quick storage of the flip cover 3.
[0040] When the flip cover 3 needs to be closed, the flip plate 31 is pulled to flip it, and the rotating seats 32 fixed at both ends of the flip plate 31 also flip under the rotational force of the rotating shaft 33. After the flip plate 31 flips upward from the first clearance groove 21, it is horizontally placed into the closing groove 121 of the top plate 12, and the bottom of the flip plate 31 abuts against the limiting boss 1211, so as to effectively prevent the top surface of the top plate 12 from sinking and can be flush with the top surface of the top plate 12. At the same time, the limiting surfaces 3212 of the limiting connecting plates 321 at the ends of the two rotating seats 32 respectively cooperate with the limiting grooves 122 on both sides of the bottom of the top plate 12 for limiting, and at the same time, the limiting grooves 122 can avoid the rotation of the two rotating seats 32, thereby effectively realizing the quick closing of the flip cover 3.
[0041] The above-disclosed embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
