Limiting grooves are formed on both inner walls of the recessed box. A locking groove is formed at the rear end of the upper limiting groove on both inner walls of the recessed box. The locking groove communicates with the limiting groove. A locking mechanism is provided on both inner walls of the mounting bracket. The locking mechanism engages with the locking groove. The socket body is fixedly connected in the mounting bracket. The panel is connected to the mounting bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a mounting block, which is fixedly connected to the mounting frame by a set of bolts. The mounting block has a mounting cavity at the rear end of one end face near the mounting frame. A square through hole is formed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity near the end of the junction box. A movable block is movably disposed in the mounting cavity. A sleeve post is provided on the end face of the movable block near the mounting frame. A first spring is sleeved on the sleeve post. One end of the first spring abuts against the mounting frame. A locking block is provided on the end face of the movable block near the inner wall of the junction box. The locking block is located in the square through hole and is locked in place with the locking groove.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning mechanism further includes a pushing block. The front end face of the mounting block has a telescopic square hole that extends into the mounting cavity. The pushing block is movably disposed within the telescopic square hole. The front end face of the pushing block has an operating column.

However, one or more embodiments may be practiced by those skilled in the art without these specific details.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1-4, a five-hole socket that is easy to maintain includes a panel 1, a recessed box 2, a mounting bracket 3, and a socket body 4. The recessed box 2 is embedded in the wall. Limiting grooves 5 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the recessed box 2. The rear end of the upper limit grooves 5 on both sides of the inner wall of the recessed box 2 is provided with a slot 6, which communicates with the limiting grooves 5. The mounting bracket 3 is provided with a locking mechanism on both sides. The locking mechanism is engaged with the slot 6. The socket body 4 is fixedly connected in the mounting bracket 3. The panel 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 3.

[0022] In the above technical solution, by setting a slot 6 on the junction box 2 and a locking mechanism on the mounting bracket 3, the locking mechanism and the slot 6 are engaged. When the socket is being repaired, the operating column 16 is pressed inward through the operating hole 20 on the panel 1, the second spring 25 is compressed, the first inclined surface 17 and the second inclined surface 19 slide against each other, pushing the movable block 10 towards one end of the mounting bracket 3. The first spring 12 is compressed, the locking block 13 is disengaged from the slot 6, and the mounting bracket 3 and the socket body 4 can be directly pulled out of the junction box 2. Compared with the traditional screw fixing, this utility model does not require the use of tools for repair, which is more convenient and simple.

[0023] In this utility model, the locking mechanism includes a mounting block 7, which is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 3 by a set of bolts. A mounting cavity 8 is formed at the rear end of the mounting block 7 near the mounting frame 3. A square through hole 9 is formed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 8 near the end of the junction box 2. A movable block 10 is movably disposed within the mounting cavity 8. A sleeve post 11 is provided on the end face of the movable block 10 near the mounting frame 3. A first spring 12 is sleeved on the sleeve post 11, and one end of the first spring 12 abuts against the mounting frame 3. A locking block 13 is provided on the end face of the movable block 10 near the inner wall of the junction box 2. The locking block 13 is located... Within the square through hole 9, the locking block 13 and the locking groove 6 are engaged in a locking mechanism; the locking mechanism also includes a pushing block 14, and a telescopic square hole 15 is provided on the front end face of the mounting block 7, the telescopic square hole 15 extends into the mounting cavity 8, the pushing block 14 is movably disposed within the telescopic square hole 15, an operating column 16 is provided on the front end face of the pushing block 14, a first inclined surface 17 is provided on the end face of the pushing block 14 near the mounting frame 3, a groove 18 is provided on the front end face of the pushing block 14, a second inclined surface 19 is provided on the end face of the groove 18 near the mounting frame 3, and the first inclined surface 17 and the second inclined surface 19 are parallel to each other.

[0024] In the above technical solution, by pressing the operating column 16, the operating column 16 moves toward one end of the movable block 10. When the first inclined surface 17 moves to abut against the second inclined surface 19, the operating column 16 is pressed continuously, and the second inclined surface 19 slides between the first inclined surface 17. The movable block 10 moves toward one end of the mounting bracket 3, causing the locking block 13 to retract into the square through hole 9. The locking block 13 disengages from the slot 6, and the socket body 4 can be pulled out of the junction box 2.

[0025] In this invention, the panel 1 has an operation hole 20, which is coaxial with the operation column 16. The operation hole 20 facilitates pressing the operation column 16.

[0026] In this utility model, a limiting plate 21 is provided on the operating column 16 near the rear end face of the panel 1, and a set of fixing grooves 22 are provided on the front end face of the mounting block 7. The set of fixing grooves 22 are respectively located on both sides of the telescopic square hole 15, and the fixing grooves 22 are connected to the telescopic square hole 15. A fixing plate 23 is fixedly connected in the fixing groove 22 by bolts. An abutment plate 24 is fixedly connected between the fixing plates 23. The abutment plate 24 is located in the telescopic square hole 15. A second spring 25 is provided between the abutment plate 24 and the limiting plate 21. The second spring 25 is sleeved on the operating column 16.

[0027] In the above technical solution, by setting a second spring 25, when the operating column 16 is not subjected to external force, the second spring 25 pushes the block 14 into the telescopic square hole 15, so that the movable block 10 will not be affected, and it is convenient to lock the mounting bracket 3 and the socket body 4 into the junction box 2 after maintenance.

[0028] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
